About this property

Affordable Luxury in tranquil setting. Short walk to beaches and pool/hot tub.

Step through the door of Hale Mahina Kauai and feel the aloha. The great room is the center of the home and opens onto the expansive screened lanai and the tranquil garden in the private back yard beyond. Both the kitchen and master bedroom also open to the lanai which offers dining on the kitchen end and a conversation area outside the master. The two downstairs bedrooms are on opposite sides of the great room for added privacy. Each bedroom has air conditioning and a TV and there is a 47-in smart HDTV in the great room. The upstairs loft has 2 ceiling fans and a window air conditioner (though the cross breeze through the windows on either side of the loft and the fans keep it quite comfortable most of the year)! For those of you who need to stay in touch with the real world, we offer wireless Internet service. There are ceiling fans throughout, including the lanai. The well provisioned kitchen makes preparing meals at home a pleasure as well as a huge money saver. We also provide everything you'll need to enjoy a day at the beach: snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrella, cooler, beach chairs, beach towels and more. We also include a pack and play, high chair and jogging stroller for your keiki. A much greater value than a hotel.

Location, location, location! Hale Mahina is conveniently located in the lushly landscaped 70 acre Poipu Kai Resort; which is a collection of single family homes and condos nestled along the paved greenbelt between the Grand Hyatt Resort and Poipu Beach Park. The single family home is a mere 5-10 minute walk from 3 beaches, the Resort's pool, jacuzzi and 8 tennis courts, the Grand Hyatt Resort, numerous restaurants and activities. Koloa town is 3 miles away and offers additional restaurants, shops and grocery stores. Poipu is the perfect jumping off spot for touring this incredibly beautiful island. It is centrally located between the lush north shore and the spectacular west side with its Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast overlook. At the end of your day of touring or beaching it, you can relax on the tranquil lanai with an umbrella drink or walk to Poipu Beach to watch one of the south shore's spectacular sunsets. It's your vacation. You decide!

Felt Like Home
This house was great to stay in, it had an at home feeling. Gail and Dennis were easy to contact right from the beginning, even before we came they replied to emails about the area and things we can do! They had some great outside toys for the kids to play with, and it's close to everything. We had one issue when we were there and they got to it right away which we really appreciated!

An ideal base
This was my first time at this property though I’ve been to Kauai several times. Poipu Kai is, to my mind, the best area to stay because of the weather and the proximity to good restaurants and lovely beaches. I walked to Shipwreck Beach at the Hyatt most mornings to watch the sunrise, such a serene and gorgeous start to any day. Even the most distant parts of the island are only a short - and beautiful - drive away. The house and yard are more attractive and comfortable than the posted photos suggest. Beds are soft and the bdrm A/C units were appreciated on balmy nights. The true jewel, though, is the back screened lanai, which immediately became our favourite place for dining, relaxing and planning our days. The nearby Safeway is new and well-stocked. I also recommend the farmers markets that pop up at various locations all over the island. Gail was very helpful prior to and during our trip, even giving recommendations on activities and so on. I look forward to our next visit!

Great location
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The back patio was used a lot and we appreciated being able to walk to the beach and other locations. The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment was the pool since we had to walk a distance to get there and then there were no bathrooms available during our visit. The restaurant near the pool is pretty good and we did go up there to get a snack and use the restroom. We would definitely stay here again!

A week in paradise!
This villa is amazing! It is clean and comfortable and has all the comforts of home! The renovation is beautiful. The home was clean and welcoming. The gardens are peaceful. We loved sitting on the lanai or out back and relaxing, eating meals, and was a great space for getting ready for our wedding. The only downside was having to leave after a week. Mahalo. We hope we can enjoy this space in the future.

About the host

Aloha kakou - We are excited to share our beautiful home with you! We honeymooned on Kauai in 1971, returning every chance we got until fate, hard work and a generous dose of good luck combined to see us move here permanently in 2004. When friends on the mainland ask us when we're moving back we answer simply, 'We're not.' A deep love of our island and extensive local experience permit us to share our learning and understanding with our guests. We are happy to offer as little or as much advice as you desire to make your vacation at Hale Mahina an incredible experience filled with fond memories. We want you to enjoy your stay so much that you will return again and again.

Why they chose this property

We find the Poipu Kai Resort to be ideally located between several of the best beaches on the island, some just a leisurely walk down the greenbelt. The amenities offered by Poipu Kai Resort are truly outstanding. The peaceful ambience and location of 'Hale Mahina' welcome our guests back time and again. We think you will agree!

What makes this property unique

Our spacious screened in lanai spans the entire back of the house allowing for a comfortable place to relax and enjoy some quality time with those you love.
