Tropical breezes, ocean view and sunny white sand beaches make this an ideal vacation rental house. It is furnished in a traditional island style with a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs is a large ocean-facing master suite with a California King, an adjoining sun-room with two twin beds and a deck with a 180-degree view towards the ocean. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms each with a queen bed and its own bathroom. The kitchen, dining room and central family room offer plenty of space, sunlight and comfort for all.

Centrally located in the quaint 19th century plantation town of Kapaa on the east shore of Kauai, you will find a variety of activities. A beach protected by a barrier reef is within walking distance. This uncrowded beach is called Baby Beach by the locals because of the gentle surf and safety afforded to smaller children. Other beaches of Kapaa offer windsurfing and kite surfing or enjoy the many surfing spots on the east shore of Kauai.

Also, explore Hawaii's amazing sea life by snorkeling and scuba diving or enjoy fishing. Hike the trails of Nounou (the Sleeping Giant), a Forest Reserve that rewards your effort with views of the entire island. Paddle a kayak up Kauai's Wailua River, one of Hawaii's few navigable rivers and explore the famous Fern Grotto, Secret Falls and the canyons of the Wailua River interior. Golfers appreciate being so close to top-ranked Wailua Golf Course. In the evenings, walk to historic Kapaa Town and enjoy local Hawaiian food and a variety of fine restaurants.

The convenient location of Hale Niu allows easy access to the Na Pali Coast, Princeville and charming Hanalei to the North, Poipu Beach to the South and famous Waimea Canyon to the West.

After a busy day, unwind and relax in the private and peaceful setting of Hale Niu. Sit on the spacious veranda of this traditional Hawaiian-style Kauai vacation rental home and watch the coconut trees sway in a soft tropical breeze.

Did not like having to pick up and drop off the house key. House is in major need of an update; ripped carpeting, old showers with hard to regulate water temperatures, old furnishings, and not enough fans. The best thing was the big front yard. We’ve used VRBO on 5 trips to Kauai and this is the first disappointing stay for us.

Island getaway

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: The front yard was perfect for family gatherings, volleyball and soccer games. We had a full party of 8 and everyone had space, 3 private bathrooms, and a large functional kitchen. We had access to a washer and dryer which allowed us to stay on top of towels, bathing suits, etc. Great lawn chairs and beach accessories provided which was amazing. We had a fabulous time at this house and its close proximity to the beach was fantastic. Definitely would stay there again

Great location with room to spread out!

Very comfortable house! Has one of the best equipped kitchens we've found in a vacation rental. Our group of 4 (my husband and I + our 2 twenty-something kids) found the location very convenient to explore the island or walk to town along the coast. Fabulous porch and spacious front yard provided lots of room for relaxing.

Needs Some Love

Pros Good location, large outdoor grassy area, well stocked kitchen, quick responses from management Cons Dated property (rust in some areas, stains on floor and carpets), ants on countertops (we kept everything very clean but there were many small ants) and in bathroom, termite droppings near the bathroom by the floorboards, noise from the street/cars at night, noise from construction on house next door (building noise and loud cursing), dead bugs on the bathroom ceiling that had not been cleaned, lots of wear and tear

Perfect for our large family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in a great central location so one head to Hanalei (north shore) or out west to Waimea Canyon with ease. Close to lots of restaurants, food trucks, beaches and shopping. I loved that there was plenty of parking and no need to worry about finding a spot. Lovely neighborhood and friendly neighbors. The house was fully stocked with plenty kitchen equipment, towels and blankets. BBQ grill was very handy. We stayed with our adult children (& spouses) and having three bathrooms was wonderful. So close to the beach, we got up every morning and walked down to watch the sun rise. The rental company also left us some complimentary tote bags, cooler bags and welcome treats. Overall, we were very pleased and we rent this property again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time staying on this side of the island. The location was great. Property description and Pictures are accurate. Although no A/C that did not bother us. Lots of breezes coming thru especially at night. We figured that it was because we were close to the ocean. Peekaboo ocean view. 1 block from local beach. Home located 1 mile from center of Kapaa Town. You can walk along bike/walking path that is parallel to the ocean to get to Kapaa Town. Beautiful and enjoyable walk. 1 mile to Coconut Marketplace in the other direction. Its walkable but along the highway. The home was perfect for our group. The porch and lawn were the favorite parts of the house. Plenty of room to spread out in the house as well. The kitchen was organized a bit odd but we worked with it. Towels galore and beach stuff too. Although the umbrella needs replacing. Everyone we spoke with at the property mgt were so friendly and helpful. It was great we did not have to have a large chore in the exit cleaning. Most places have such specific strict rules of remove bedding etc. This place was easy exit. We were amazed we did not have to run the dishwasher upon exiting or put bedding in bathtub. We would TOTALLY recommend this vacation rental! Families would love the lawn for kids to burn off energy and the beach being so close. Although there is no lifeguard, we feel it is safe enough. Our group was a Hula Halau on Retreat from Washington State and the lawn was perfect for practicing. We met a couple of the neighbors and they were welcoming and friendly and even enjoyed watching us practice. One even invited us to Kauai Beach Resort to listen to music as he is a musician there and invited us to do a impromptu dance there. Best breakfast= Kountry Kitchen. ( Go early as there is always a wait) Dinner=Lemongrass Grill.Shave Ice= Wailua Shave Ice. Safeway, Starbucks, Subway, McDonalds even Ross Dress for Less, in walking distance less than 10 minutes away. Mahalo Kauai Vacation Rentals. We loved it

Fabulous Location

We loved the central location! It made it so much easier to do activities all over the island. Grocery store right around the corner! Quiet neighborhood! A little warm without air conditioning but lots of fans and the breeze from the ocean made the nights comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

This house was perfect for exploring Kauai. Easy walk to the ocean. Fast drive to either side of the island. Plenty of hikes close by. Bike path is right there for biking, running or strolling. Down town Kapa'a is a close walk. Kitchen was very well stocked. Safeway is a close walk. There was plenty of room for all of use. 4 kids shared the upstairs room and the adults each had a room and bathroom. The ocean breeze keeps the house cool. The only thing I would change is a keyless entry so we wouldn't have had to pick up/drop off keys. But that is a very minor improvement. We had a magical week and I would go back and stay in the same spot over and over. Loved Kauai.

Needs Attention, But Still A Piece of Paradise

The property is a decent size, but looks larger in the photos. The kitchen has everything you need to make full meals. The foldout sofa downstairs has a note that due to rust it cannot be used, but there are still three bedrooms and a total of one king, two queens and two twin beds throughout the house. The pillows and mattresses are VERY firm. The shower in the master is smaller than I expected. The carpet needs to be replaced. There was food trash under the bed in the master. The sliding door in the kitchen does not open fully. That said, the place is spacious and beautiful and it is very close to the beach. You can see the ocean behind the house across the street, and right around the corner is the beach. However, the actual beach access point is at least a five minute walk down the street. There is a cement wall and rock barrier that restricts you from walking on the sand for at least a block. You may have to sleep with the windows open if you are used to central air, and you may need to pack ear plugs because Kauai is full of roosters that crow all day and night. The house is for sale, so I understand why not much is being spent on it, though. It's still on paradise and centrally located to a lot that Kauai has to offer. I'd stay there again.

Perfect beach house for family

We spent Thanksgiving at Hale Niu with our children and their spouses. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and could use a few courtesy items like coffee filters, foil or spices. We played croquet on the front yard and did yoga. Danced under the moon and stars. Thanks for sharing this little Kapa’a gem!

Great Place for Adult Families

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: We really enjoyed this property, not only is Kapa'a a great central location to the island making it easy to go north, south or west but it is small and pleasant. This house is spacious, clean and uncluttered. It may be dated a bit but it is clean and that is what matters. Most places are dated as it is hard and expensive to get materials to the islands. There are a couple of items needing to be fixed, like the sliding door and a couple of windows but these would not keep from renting again. Having 3 bedrooms w/ 3 bathrooms was key to having 6 adults in the house. The house stays very cool with the fans and louvered windows, being close to the shore allows a lot of cool ocean air to flow in. Having parking was a huge plus too. The home is up for sale, if it were to still be a rental we would look to use it again in the future.
