Hale Kai Kalani - Hosted By Parrish Kauai - Quaint cottage near the beach & bedr

This is a beautiful location with a lovely small house on the property. the view is amazing with a full balcony.

This house is a great location to anchor your North island fun, many beaches "one 13 min walk", amazing food, easy shopping for food / gas / etc without dealing with the Princeville traffic The lānai is spectacular, with all day shade, fresh trade winds blow right up the hill / through the house, we turn off the ample AirCon for natural breeze. Outside table and lounges are great and comfy. The house is very comfy with great couch's / tables, and yes Rummikub..!!! Granite counter tops / full kitchen / blender, I don't think coffee grinder but didnt need it as they gave us great stuff pre ground. One great think about getting to this house is that it has it's own turn lane off the main road "very safe at night". Things to note: The beach below the house is public, so you can get a bit of low speed cars / gravel driving on the road that is below the sight line of the view, but nothing at night, very quiet. Has beach chair's / boogy boards / etc Make sure to check the guest log before leaving, very interesting reading about how people used this house durning COVID, great get away... The only non 5 star "4/5" item was cleanliness, but remember this house is almost off grid and should expect some level of dust / dirt around the place "it's in the country....

House and location was great. Very quiet and relaxing. Was nice not having people around. Only negative was the deck was rotten and I fell through the deck. Was very lucky not to be severely injured, and even luckier that it wasn’t my pregnant wife or older parents that fell through the deck. Our hammock broke on the first night, and per the conversation with the manager I thought we would get a replacement hammock which never happened. Beyond that it was great!

This is a midsized, updated house in very good condition inside and out, next to a 1/2-mile walk or 2 minute drive down a dirt road to a very nice white-sand beach that's not too busy, but popular with surfers. The property is well located within 15-20 minutes' drive of the best beaches in Kauai, 10 minutes from grocery/bakery/restaurant/gas, but there's not much activity on the house's street itself. House has 2 good bedrooms and 2 good bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and comfortable living/dining room. All rooms have ceiling fans and there are a couple of air conditioners which we did not use, it was never too hot or humid inside. Everything is in very good condition, all appliances work, kitchen offers everything you'd want. The rental loses points because there is no water view as shown in the listing...those trees are taller now so zero ocean view. The back of the house lanai/deck faces that view, which is green and lovely. There's a teak dining table, two chaise longues, and a hammock. House is pretty private, no neighbors adjacent and you'll hear the ocean softly in the background all the time. There is some noise from the dirt road leading to the beach immediately adjacent to the house, so you do hear surfers' SUVs and pickup trucks going down in the morning and returning in the late afternoon, this might bother some. But it's less noise than you'd get in a denser neighborhood or a busier road. Overall this is a great place to stay on the north shore, but the listing should be updated to remove the idea of "water view".

This is a great property and location, off the beaten path, away from the crowds, but close enough. Kids loved exploring the grounds and was a great place to relax in the evenings.

Plenty of hot water, and convenient access to Kilauea are the highlights of this place. It has been substantially changed from the photos. It looks like it was decorated 20 years ago by a couple of college students with $100 budget. The house is dirty, and desperately in need of maintenance. Doors that don't open or fall off, window frames with chipped and peeling paint and dirt, one burner on the stove is broken, the hammock from the photos is nowhere to be found, the deck chairs were so threadbare it looked like we would fall through them, the ancient CD player doesn't work, cheap, scratched up pots and pans with wobbly handles, the list goes on. The window coverings in the master bedroom are two smaller, thin, plastic, stained things sewn together that you can't open, and the mismatched curtain rods are broken and fall off. The mattress has water and mold stains, and the icing on the cake was finding the blanket full of bugs. The general location is great, but sadly it's a few feet from a busy, steep dirt road to a popular beach, so the lanai and the whole house are filled with dust and the sounds of roaring engines and spinning tires on a regular basis. Either the owners are in on the plan to ring as much profit out of this place as possible, or they're being swindled by the management company.

Needs some maintenance. Two windows would not operate, screens in poor condition.

Clean house with everything you need to whip up a good meal.

One glitch was the smoke alarm system which activated on both our first night and last night making for a couple nights of rough sleep.

.

The only issue that we experienced was lights in the showers did not work and the falls smoke alarm that went off while we were out of the building
