Hale Pakala, 3 Acre Beach Front, A/C in Bedrooms

Directions got us to the driveway, but after getting in the gate we went in and were at a terrible looking house that greeted us with many dogs and cats. We realized we were at the wrong house. After calling the emergency number we found out that there was a faint drive to the right. Went that way to find our rental. But the memory of the other place followed us all week. The cupboards in the house are completely worn out. Both kitchen and bathrooms needed updated. They do not look like the photos. The mattresses were cheap and uncomfortable. The pillows were even worse. We could see what looked like a nice mattress in the lower level of the house that was blocked off. House had a musty smell. There were holes on the window screens, and the windows could also use an update. Something was wrong with the fridge door. One side had to be closed first or it wouldn’t close. Glass top put on the table was hazardous. Don’t think it belonged there. Kept walking into it. It’s bigger than the actual table but glass so you can’t see it. Porch was nice. Outside was painted nicely. Flooring of house are new and well done. Windows were clean. Appliances were new and worked well but we didn’t want to put dishes in cupboards. Suggest adding a keurig coffee pot. The bathrooms needed a serious update. The fixtures had not been clean in a long time. The tubs were stained. We just thought the place had a 1940/1950 vibe- that’s the last time a serious update was done.

We felt like we had the ocean to ourselves! Loved the quaint house as well

Absolutely loved this stay! Felt like island life and very secluded from the touristy spots. Quick access to what is basically a private beach. AC units were clutch on the warm nights.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!! You cannot beat the location and access to an amazing beach. However, the house itself leaves a lot to be desired. It has high-end appliances, but the bathrooms are so old. The deck is amazing but the kitchen cabinets and drawers barely open. The bedrooms have airconditioners but the furniture arrangement means that you are not looking at the view.

Amazing yard and beach, sea turtles playing at the shoreline and surfing spot right off shore. Comfortable beds for 4. Property management checked up on us during the tsunami warning and were easy to work with. This is an old country house, so if you need spotless and modern you might not like it. But it worked for us. The porch has an incredible view and the downstairs neighbors were not even noticeable.

We arrived at the property 2 minutes before 3pm and the code didn't work. I called the management company, and they explained that the code will only work at 3pm. They are very nice and accommodating for any questions or problems. The grounds are beautiful and totally entertained us with the array of creatures such as lizards, birds, wild pigs, etc. The walk to the beautiful beach and spectacular sunsets is about 45 seconds. The entry to the property is difficult and I missed it most of the time. That probably needs better signage and lighting. The location has been perfect for us. We came to visit my nephew, and he lives in Waimea, 5 minutes away. We saw him every day. Driving to North shore was a wonderful (but slow) drive with lots of great scenery. The house has everything you need. We cooked and BBQ'd. Lots of room for the 4 of us which included a 7-year-old. Definitely worth the stay. Thank you!

The property is wonderful with the ocean just a steps away from this very comfortable home. All the living space is on the second floor as is normal for oceanfront properties. The local property management company, Kauai Vacation Rentals & Real Estate, was great to work with and very responsive. There is traffic noise from the adjacent highway, but that did not detract from a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

There is easy beach access right behind the house, and it’s located in a quiet area. The beach is public, so there is a lot of foot traffic. The house is comfortable, with all the basic amenities. The bbq needs work, and the kitchen doesn’t have basic stocked items. You’ll need to bring salt, cooking oil, coffee filters, etc to make cooking easier.

AC in the bedrooms, perfect location for everything from surfing/snorkeling/scuba to hiking up in the state parks. Lots of lizards but to be expected, kids loved.
