Kauai Exclusive - Hale Kahanalu #6 - Steps to Poipu Beach

We had a great stay! It was just a short walk to the beach which we enjoyed every day of our trip. It is a nice quiet neighborhood. We'd definitely stay here again!

Our room was as described, but tired. Communication with the management company was great. I reached out several times and they responded within minutes. However, the three separate AC units (not central AC) were very noisy when the pump activated and kept us awake all night with the intermittent loud, sharp buzz and hums. By the second night, we had to turn the AC units off. Bummer in hot, humid weather. The shower appeared to be under repair - the bottom part was painted a bright red, Seemed to be a water proofing material. And the shower water temp constantly fluctuated from cool to too-hot. The shower head malfunctioned and could not be switched to the more powerful stream of water. It took a mighty long shower to get the shampoo rinsed out of my hair. The dishwasher is missing its kickplate.

Excellent location , Clean room , very good Kitchen and spacious place

Perfect location with a great view and the unit was beautiful. We were very comfortable just wish our stay could’ve been longer!Aloha until next time

What an amazing location. Loved being in walking distance to the beach and great food. Everything was clean. Would definitely book again.

Fantastic property!!! Clean, welcoming and close to best beach on Kauai, Poipu!! Do not hesitate on this place one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in!

We very much enjoyed our stay

Some warped flooring and front room picture doesn’t match the listing. Third floor! No view but good location. Comfortable bed and pillows. Chairs and umbrella to use.

Lovely little place with all the amenities. The price was comparable to others in the area, but you get so much more bang for the buck in the northern part of the island, I think I would choose to stay up there next time.

The property was cute, the location was desirable, and the check-in process was seamless. Our only serious issue was that the property was infested with rats. We heard the rats scurrying through the walls and ceiling, which made it hard sleeping at night (we have videos). When we’d wake up, all of our food was destroyed and the counters were covered in rat droppings. This continued for the 10 days we stayed there. Two of the days we fell ill, which very well could’ve been from the rats getting into our food.After contacting the host, they had someone set up traps, but the traps were too small for the rats. We had to spend our own money buying traps that were the right size. We ended up catching and disposing several rats (we have pictures).We spent a significant amount to stay here, and we believed it wasn’t fair having to pay that much money to stay in a place infested with rats. We raised this concern with the host, who said they’d credit us 100, to which we still haven’t received. However, the 100 wouldn’t even cover the cost of all the food we had to throw away, not to mention the lack of sleep and peace of mind we lost on this trip.I’m sure the host will respond saying they’ve addressed the issue with the rats, which is great. What’s not great, is how unfairly compensated we were after spending so much money to stay in a rat infested room.

We paid $384 total cost/night. The unit had comfortable furniture, beds, and A/C, but was not sanitary enough. To improve the rating we recommend: cleaning kitchen table and kitchen counters to remove tiny ants and spiders; cleaning bathroom to remove cockroaches and earwigs. The property manager immediately responded when we told them we spotted a mouse in the living room (they came and set traps), that the dish washer was not secured to the counter (they secured it). We also called the property manager to let them know that the bedroom ceiling fan was broken and that one of the two laundry room washing machines was broken (both items were not repaired during our stay).

Location of this property was amazing, since all we wanted to do was swim and sun. Best beaches. The AC was great to have, and there were many nice extras (chairs, umbrellas, etc)!

One of the best locations in Poipu Beach. Walk to beach, restaurants... Turtle watching was awesome. Love Brennecke's Beach. No room numbers near front door so hard to find at night. Bothered other tenants making noise while trying to find our room in the dark. Only a charcoal bbq. Propane smoker bbq not working (doesn't look like it's been working for a long time). Air conditioning in second bedroom now. No snorkeling equipment, so bring your own or rent.

Heat cozy condo, the 2 bedrooms was amazing. One block from the beach to watch turtles and boogie board. Everything was perfect!

I loved this property the minute I walked in. Very clean, perfect location to the beach and shopping Absolutely zero complaints. It was a 10 out of 10 and I most definitely would stay here again and recommend to others. Wish I was still there!

Nice condo. Great view of the ocean. Good location on the island where you can get to both far west and far north in an hour or less. Well stocked kitchen. A/C worked perfectly. Great beach chairs. Would definitely recommend for a great stay on Kauai!

Poipu is where my Family Roots are. It was an ideal location for July 4 2024 Family Event. Clean Unit and the Full Kitchen were nice!

The unit size was a good for the 3 of us. Nice quiet street close to Poipu Beach. A/C worked great. Beach chairs, umbrella & cooler were nice to have available for us to use. The kitchen chairs were very rickety, & difficult for my 81 yr old mother. Need new/more saucepans/frying pans. Need dishtowels in the kitchen, had to use bathroom ones.

My mom and I stayed here for six nights and it was the perfect spot for us--cozy, great view, enough space with the two bedrooms, very functional kitchen, and a FANTASTIC location (which is mainly why we booked this unit). The team at Kauai Exclusive Realty was also so helpful, responsive, and accommodating--we truly appreciate their communication and customer service. It was tough to leave a few days ago and I already can't wait to stay here again someday!

We had a fantastic stay at Hale Kahanalu, and it was everything we hope it would be, especially the location which is steps away from Poipu Beach. We would visit the beach often after coming home from exploring the island because of how close it is. Communicating with concierge via the RentalHost app was super convenient. I highly recommend this property. Mahalo!

We came to poi pu to see the other side of Kauai. We usually stay in Hanalei. Really like the apartment location so close to beach. AA meeting on beach 2 minute walk. Sea turtles on beach 2 minute walk. Monk seal on beach two minute walk… perfect location at affordable price.

Lovely property in a great location. Steps away from Poipu beach and a short drive or walk to shopping centers

Hale Kahanalu truly is “steps from the beach” and a delightfully modest, clean and comfortable place for four good friends place to stay. Upon arriving, we appreciated the clearly marked parking and found our way upstairs to Unit 6. The open kitchen/dining bar is large (easy for two couples) to navigate, team cook, enjoy chatting and eating. The gift coffee and cookies were a nice welcome touch. While the kitchen is well equipped, it would have been nice to find small basic amenities like salt and pepper. We’d already been to the grocery, so ended up asking a local restaurant for a few to go packets of spices to make do. No great tragedy, but worth being aware of if you intend on eating in more than out. Which, by the way, is infinitely more affordable! Bedrooms and beds are quite comfy. Ceiling fans and a/c all help move the island air. The bathroom is located in the hallway outside the bedrooms. I’d been told by the management it was a Jack and Jill. Thankfully, it is not. (A better photo on the website showing the hall and the three separate doorways might help future quests understand the lay out.) Plenty of cozy big towels were supplied - and how about that huge shower!!??! Very nice. We didn’t watch tv all, but did appreciate the beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella and the cooler for picnics. I had to call management twice - once for clarity on where to park a second car (along the street) and once about the dishwasher. They were responsive and very kind.

Clean, comfortable beds, well stocked with beach chairs, towels, cooler.

Perfect location, very clean, and great communication with the owners. Would definitely stay again.
