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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
