Extra spacious living areas offer plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Roomy, air conditioned bedroom suites offer the perfect end to a perfect island style day.

Enjoy the tropical breezes and fragrant scents from the multiple seating and dining areas on the expansive, wrap around lanai that offers panoramic ocean, mountain and coastline views.

Feel like you are on top of the world as this home is located at the highest point in Poipu on the top rim of an extinct crater that overlooks the Poipu Resort area.

Great location. House accommodated all of us with room to spread out. Upstairs livingroom and lanai views were incredible. Entertaining our local family was nice in the spaciousness of the upstairs living and dining area. The curtain/shades in main house were mostly not working but we made due. Enjoyed ourselves and will try to rent again!

Perfect Stay

The house exceeded our expectations. It was spacious, well stocked and looked like it had recently been updated. We enjoyed the boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas and beach wagon. The outdoor showers were a plus. It was the perfect space for our family of 12. We plan to return. The property managers were responsive and easy to work with.

Hale Hapuna

Our family had a wonderful stay at Hale Hapuna. There were 15 of us and there was something for everyone, from the 3 year olds to the 70 year olds. It was a perfect vacation. Everyone enjoyed the walkable beaches, the beautiful views and the spacious living areas. We would definitely do it all over again!

A Vacation Home to Remember

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 8 stayed at this property to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. The one word that comes to mind is "breathtaking"! The views from the lanai (mountains, ocean, birds, etc) were absolutely spectacular. The decor of the home was so tasteful and beautiful, and the layout was perfect for our family. We loved having all of the bedroom on the lower floor, and the massive living/entertainment area upstairs. We used every bit of the home, from the TV area to the dining area, to the hangout space. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out, but also provided perfect spaces to spend quality time together. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked, and more than enough towels and beach gear. The ping pong table was also a bit hit with the grandkids! This property definitely exceeded our expectations - We will definitely revisit during our next visit to Poipu!

Hale Hapuna is Amazing!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Hapuna is absolutely beautiful!Spacious, spotless, and in a fantastic location, this home truly has so much to love. The beds are very comfortable, and the furniture is clean and cozy, making it easy to settle in and feel right at home. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils and gadgets you need to make anything from a quick snack to a full meal.One of the best parts is the location, you can walk to the beach, a surf shop, and couple of eateries (Puka Dog & Brennecke Beach Broiler). It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a morning or evening walk.The only downside is that the upstairs area doesn't have A/C. However, there are plenty of ceiling and floor fans, and you can open the windows to let in the cross breeze. Just note that the sliding windows don’t have screens, so we had a few feathered visitors fly in! Honestly, we didn’t mind, it added to the charm. That said, it would be great if the owner added screens for future guests.Even with that small issue, I would absolutely recommend Hale Hapuna to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay in paradise. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Perfect home base for a large group in Kaua’i

My family absolutely loved staying at Hale Hapuna! It was centrally located, so that we could take a leisurely walk to Poipu Beach. The home was very spacious, and we appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Mostly, though, we loved taking in the view and island breezes from the second floor!

Perfect Location

Came for a wedding and 15 of us stayed here. It was amazing. Everything they said it would be and more. For multiple families, it is perfect because every room has its own bathroom plus a bathroom upstairs for common area. View from the deck is mountains and the ocean. Location to Poipu beach was awesome!

Great house for a group

The house is great for a group, with bedrooms below and a spacious common area above. We spent a lot of time on the deep covered deck which has beautiful views, plentiful seating and tables and shady spots. It is walking distance to Brennecke's beach and Poipu Beach. Our teenagers could watch TV without disturbing others on the deck or at the other couch seating area. The dining table easily held all 11 people in our group. It was a great location!

Perfect house, perfect view, perfect location!

There were 12 of us staying in this spacious house! Two bedrooms in the carriage house and four bedrooms in the main house. The best part is: every bedroom has its own attached bathroom! The top floor is an open floor plan with huge seating areas and the most beautiful lanai! There’s a nice walking path down to Poipu Beach with turtles, monk seals and the best hot dog stand ever! It’s also really close to a couple beaches that are perfect for babies and toddlers. I had excellent text communication with the property managers, who were always very timely and helpful.

Lovely home in south Kauai

Beautiful house on the island with so much space and a great spot for our family and friends vacation. Overall, it was exactly what was in the listing except one bedroom was shown to have three beds, but instead only had two. We ended up not needing it, but it was misleading. Really appreciated the thorough instructions in the house and the communication from the property management. Would definitely stay again and would recommend this house. It’s STUNNING!

Great Views, Wonderfully Large Living Space

The accommodations, especially the very large living room/dining area/kitchen easily accomodated our family of 10. The lack of air conditioning in this space was a small negative usually countered by a breeze, either in the room itself or on the wrap around balcony. Sunsets were a special treat. Two of the bedrooms in the main house were attractive and comfortable. The other two, unfortunately, felt like a dormitory. All had AC. We didn't use the guest house because it lacked AC. The kitchen had all of the pots, pans, and utensils one would need. The two dishwashers were especially useful. The icemaker in the refrigerator was slow, so we bought ice. Strangely, there was no salt, pepper, or sugar. In conclusion, we were comfortable and the house met our needs.

Photos don’t do it justice

I rented this as a surprise birthday present for my wife and invited 8 friends to stay with us. The home itself was beautiful, the solo rooms were luxurious and the larger rooms had plenty of room for lots of people and each had their own bathroom. The house was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space and seating. It was even nicer than I was expecting and the view was unreal. Photos don’t do it justice, the view was breathtaking. Amazing ocean views but the mountains we impossible to take your eyes off. The weather rolling in and out and the different shades of green were electric. There is absolutely nothing blocking your view and the third story wrap around lanai gives you lots of perspectives. You could honestly never leave the place and have a beautiful trip. The walk to Poipu beach was about 10 minutes straight down the hill. There were lots of beach supplies at the house too including chairs and umbrellas. It was everything we needed and more. We all talked about coming back in future years as our families grow. There is no other place I would rather stay.

Even better than the photos

This is a beautiful property, with unbelievable views of the water and the lush island from each level. There's ample outdoor deck space and windows and doors to open for a cross-breeze. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed and having a bathroom for each bedroom is a huge bonus. In the main house they are all ensuite and the Ohana has one in the hallway. In April, those from our group in the Ohana said with windows and fans they slept fine without air conditioning. The main house has a mini-split ac in each bedroom. We found the kitchen well-stocked for cooking meals. The furniture and rugs are a bit worn out and all the wicker makes it hard to get comfortable, but there’s a large dining table for gathering and lots of seating on the wraparound deck. The guest closet in the garage is stocked with toys, chairs, snorkels, bikes, and boogie boards. There are beach towels by the front door and a clothesline for drying. You can walk to Poipu Beach and a shopping center with a Starbucks, restaurants, and surf/gift shops. Big Save grocery store is only about a 5-minute drive away. We parked two minivans and a car in the driveway and could have fit another. Overall the house exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful trip!
