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.

Unbelievable value

From start to finish, this was the best vacation property I have ever stayed at. In addition to the amazing property, we had access to a concierge which was unexpected, but very much needed. I can’t recommend this property or the management company that took care of us enough.

Great home in a great location. The only drawback is no air conditioning which seems to be typical in this area. The mornings and evenings were comfortable with the windows open, but the afternoons were warm inside the home. Everything else was excellent!

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!

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!
