Hale Kupa'a: Charming Island Villa w/ Beach Nearby
Hale Kupa'a—this delightfully situated house on Poipu Kai’s scenic, super-convenient Green Belt walkway—was completely remodeled in summer 2021, and the exquisite attention to detail is evident in every light, bright, charming room. Leafy green views fill the windows, while the spacious layout (3BR/3BA) and effortless indoor-outdoor flow are perfectly conducive to relaxation, entertaining, and enjoying the idyllic surroundings.
Casually elegant contemporary furnishings create an ambience of tropical ease, with tasteful touches at every turn. As for location, Poipu Kai’s appeal can’t be overstated: a brief stroll along the picturesque Green Belt walkway will take you to a resort-quality swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis courts, with popular beaches, restaurants and a destination hotel a bit farther on. The South Shore’s myriad other attractions and activities are nearby, as well, and you can be on the main highway—en route to unforgettable adventures—in the time it takes to say “stand-up paddling,” or “that beautiful beach from South Pacific.”

Mahalo Ira for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure hosting you and we're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and it's wonderful, convenient location. Hope to welcome you back in the near future! Until then - mahalo and a hui hou, Wailani-Kauai
This was such an amazing property! Beautiful location right on the greenbelt trail of Poipu! We loved our back patio view and the close access to the beach in either direction. The host was super friendly and accommodating, even getting us a few extra amenities to celebrate my in laws wedding anniversary! The place was clean and updated nicely. Again, this place was wonderful. 5 stars!!!

Reviewer Comments:
This is a nicely updated property in a super location near but not too close to the Hyatt on Poipu. Within the Poipu Kai community, it is located along the trail spanning Poipu Kai. Not very close to the pool and tennis courts but easily accessible by trail. High quality appliances, great A/C, enormous refrigerator, roomy common spaces, kitchen, and deck. Fully covered deck with large table is great place to eat or hang out on within view of trail but not too close. Could use a few more blinds for visual privacy, including black out curtains for side windows in bedrooms. Very attractively decorated but due to design of doors, not much auditory privacy in 3 bedrooms if that is a concern. We had a wonderful stay and would certainly go back.
This is the second time my family has stayed in this house. It’s a beautiful home on the spectacular greenbelt. It’s well kept and the property management staff is incredibly responsive. Looking forward to staying there again in the future!

We absolutely loved the property; the location and view were excellent. We were a short walk from the beach across from the Grand Hyatt. The property was impeccably clean and even better than the photos revealed.

We had a great time at this house. The house was very clean and we loved the open airy design. Walking distance to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu Golf Course. The bathrooms were awesome and the ac provided great cooling and kept the interior nice and dry so we could sleep at night without the high humidity. The Grand Hyatt for comparison, which we also stayed at, had rooms which were very humid and hard to sleep at night. Thank you, we loved everything

I can't say enough nice things about this house! It's very nicely updated and well stocked. The location is amazing to say the least. We've stayed at other homes along this greenbelt and this is by far the best. We spent ample time on the deck and enjoyed opening all the sliders to get that wonderful island breeze. We'll definitely make it a point to stay here again!

Mahalo Carlo! We agree...Hale Kupaa is AMAZING! Thank you for letting us host you and your family. We look forward to seeing you again on Kauai! - Wailani Kauai
We loved our stay! This house is beautiful and the location makes for easy access to a couple beaches, Hyatt resort amenities, beach rentals, and hiking. There were no bathtubs on site which is tricky with really young babies but otherwise it’s a great, great stay! We loved the house and felt comfortable the entire trip. The kitchen has only salt, pepper and oil… fyi!

We had our son’s destination wedding at The Koa Kea Resort and this home could not have been in a better location for proximity to all our guests staying in the other resorts! Also close to all the beaches ; prompt service when requested; clean, open and beautiful! Spacious and indoor/outdoor dining and relaxing was lovely! We will be back here!!
Great house, excellent for families or adult groups. Super clean, high end and well appointed kitchen. Very comfortable throughout. Property manager Sean was very responsive and helpful with a couple of small matters. Highly recommend.
This home was so nice. It felt like being at home. The kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed. There wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t there. I would definitely recommend, and I would stay here again

We had a terrific stay in Hale Kupa'a. The house was fully updated and nicely decorated. The rooms were all spacious with each bedroom having its own ensuite, plus a powder room. Beds were all comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. Property was very well maintained and greatly appreciated the good quality beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels. Lots of hiking and beaching nearby, along with great restaurants and shopping. We would definitely return!

Beautiful house in a great location close to beaches, restaurants and shopping . Both Shipwreck and Poipu beaches were a short walk down the beautiful greenbelt walking path . The Grand Hyatt was also within a short walk which was hosting the dental conference I attended. Each bedroom is a suite with its own bathroom which provides great privacy for 3 couples . I would highly recommend this home to small groups of family members and friends. Redman family

Mahalo for taking the time to review Hale Kupaa. We hope to host you on your return visit to Kauai! - Wailani Kauai
Great / spacious common area,
10-15 minute walk to Poipu Beach.
Only negative would be the distance of the community pool from the residence. We would of used the pool more often if it was closer.
We would definitely consider renting the home again for our next family vacation

Thank you Alfred. Great to hear Hale Kupaa was "top of the line" and you would rent it again for a family vacation! We hope to host you on your next tip to Kauai! Mahalo - Wailani Kauai
The house was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed! The location was perfect for our family of 8. A quiet community in walking distance to two beaches and a short ride to some others. We didn’t end up using the pool at all because we love the ocean. And we didn’t play tennis because we didn’t want to pay extra for it. We loved our stay at Hale Kupa’a and would recommend to others!
