About this property

Hale Pohaku Kai: Poipu Seaside Stunner

Hale Pohaku Kai is a paradise of paradoxes: elegantly furnished, yet casually comfortable; spacious & airy yet cozy, too; wonderfully private, but with Poipu’s world-class sandy beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping & lively local events only a few minutes away. The property’s Hawaiian name (“Stonehouse by the Sea,” in English) reflects the dramatic location overlooking the Poipu seawall & the shimmering ocean beyond, with a nod to the stonework accents in lava rock & Pacific Rim limestone.

Inside and out, the open-plan design and tasteful tropical-themed décor create the gracious, laid-back ambience of an elevated plantation-style home by the shore—splashed with sunlight but with plenty of quiet, shady corners, and cooled by ceiling fans, trade winds & gentle sea breezes. The large, west-facing wraparound lanai is perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or marveling at the vivid sunsets, while the upstairs verandah (part of a primary suite) offers thrilling seasonal glimpses of whales & dolphins. As if to complement the attractive art that adorns the walls, every single window in the house frames a striking, painterly view of ocean or mountains.

The fully equipped kitchen is an amateur chef’s dream, with gleaming appliances and plentiful counter space for creating delicious locavore meals—or dishing up tasty takeout from one of the many restaurants nearby. Charming details & pleasant surprises abound, from handsome Hawaiian quilts to lustrous hardwood floors to the melodic birdsong that drifts in from the plush, verdant garden. Hanging out at Hale Pohaku Kai is pure delight, but the location is also an ideal base for exploring the rest of this amazingly beautiful, endlessly intriguing island, with highway access just a short jaunt away. South, north, west, east: wherever you roam during the adventure-filled days, you can always look forward to returning to this lovely, restorative house by the sea.

The Big 65th Birthday Celebration!

Amazing views!! Loved seeing turtles every day at the sea wall. We were fortunate to see whales and enjoy walks down to the beach. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of family time enjoying the gorgeous lania. The interior design of the home is spacious and very comfortable. The property management team is exceptional and quickly resolved a minor issue. We definitely recommend this property!

Hale Pohaku Kai: seaside paradise

Location is perfect, close to sea wall, beaches, shops, places to eat, and hotels where other family members stayed. House was spectacular with views off the upstairs lanai overlooking sea and another large lanai off the living room. You will not be disappointed, plenty of private places as well as places to be together as a group.

Koloa Wedding

Stayed at this beautiful, spacious property with 4 adults 2 kids and it was perfect. The spacious front lanai with ocean views and trade wind breezes was the favorite hang out. The home's decor, finishes and condition are first rate. The home is elevated above the property in front of it, back off the ocean front road, makes it very peaceful.

A Magical Stay

This home was perfect for our family’s week in Kauai! The view was magical, the porch was perfect for early morning coffee or wine in the evening, the kitchen was well stocked for a couple of nights of cooking our own “fresh catch,” and the location was close to beaches and shopping/eating! Having chairs, towels, and a cooler available made our beach days so easy! We loved it and will be back!

Great Location

Location was great. Close to everything and walking distance to the beach. The only thing is the house was so hot and the fans didn’t really help. Other than that it was a great house for our family. Beautiful property!

Beautiful home in Poipu

This home exceeded our expectations- great location, loved hearing the ocean waves every evening & morning from bed. Very comfortable home for relaxing and cooking with friends. Host was easy to contact and responded quickly. Perfect island location for diving activities. Everything in the home seemed new or at least very well cared for.

BEST house on Poipu!

We have now stayed at this house twice, and we absolutely love it. It is better than the photos! Very clean, updated, great decor. The kitchen and lanai are fabulous. We spent lots of mornings and evenings out on the big lanai. We saw lots of whales from the owners suite lanai as well! GREAT owners suite with big bathroom. Highly recommend this place and hope to be back!!

Mahalo!

Mahalo for letting us stay in your wonderful home. Everything was exactly as presented online. Great location and view of the ocean. Kitchen was well stocked and great to have access to the beach chairs and umbrella. The home has many windows that are very easy to open and close, in addition to fans in each room. There was always a breeze but we still would have preferred sleeping in A/C if it was available.

Great Family Property

This house was great! We stayed there with our two grown daughters, and our grandson. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. We were a little concerned about how the view of the ocean would be, however when we arrived those concerns melted away. The only thing to consider is that the house does not have AC. This is normal in Hawaii and could get a little warm in the afternoon but in the evening it cooled right back down. We would definitely stay here again.
