Property Description
Step through the door of Hale Mahina Kauai and feel the aloha. The great room is the center of the home and opens onto the expansive screened lanai and the tranquil garden in the private back yard beyond. Both the kitchen and master bedroom also open to the lanai which offers dining on the kitchen end and a conversation area outside the master. The two downstairs bedrooms are on opposite sides of the great room for added privacy. Each bedroom has air conditioning and a TV and there is a 55-in smart HDTV in the great room. The upstairs loft has 2 ceiling fans and a window air conditioner (though the cross breeze through the windows on either side of the loft and the fans keep it quite comfortable most of the year)! For those of you who need to stay in touch with the real world, we offer wireless Internet service. There are ceiling fans throughout, including the lanai. The well provisioned kitchen makes preparing meals at home a pleasure as well as a huge money saver. We also provide everything you'll need to enjoy a day at the beach: snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrella, cooler, beach chairs, beach towels and more. We also include a pack and play, high chair and jogging stroller for your keiki. A much greater value than a hotel.
Location, location, location! Hale Mahina is conveniently located in the lushly landscaped 70 acre Poipu Kai Resort; which is a collection of single family homes and condos nestled along the paved greenbelt between the Grand Hyatt Resort and Poipu Beach Park. The single family home is a mere 5-10 minute walk from 3 beaches, the Resort's pool, jacuzzi and 8 tennis courts, the Grand Hyatt Resort, numerous restaurants and activities. Koloa town is 3 miles away and offers additional restaurants, shops and grocery stores. Poipu is the perfect jumping off spot for touring this incredibly beautiful island. It is centrally located between the lush north shore and the spectacular west side with its Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast overlook. At the end of your day of touring or beaching it you can relax on the tranquil lanai with an umbrella drink or walk to Poipu Beach to watch one of the south shore's spectacular sunsets. It's your vacation. You decide!

We spent 8 days in Kauai at this very beautiful and comfortable home with plenty of room for 6 adults (3 couples), walking distance to two excellent beaches, and proximity to all the major island sites. Koloa is a cool town located very close by with good places to eat and drink. The house was stocked with excellent quality beach accessories including umbrellas, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, a surf board, coolers, a towable beach wagon, and more. The beautiful and spacious lanai with ample high quality furniture and dining tables was our headquarters for coffee in the morning, and wonderful meals of local seafood. The kitchen was very well-stocked for cooking. Heather was a completely responsive and generous host. We cannot recommend highly enough! Thank you again, Heather! We can't wait to come back!

The property is beautiful with a wonderful screened lanai and a kitchen with everything you need. We were able to walk to many places and easily navigate to others. The host is very responsive, answering our emails within 5 minutes. Definitely a return to property.

The house is in the absolute perfect spot, a short walk to shipwreck beach which was never too busy. The house was great, the back lanai perfect for relaxing when it rained (or didn’t). Laundry, kitchen, grill, pool stuff was all great. Would stay here again when visiting Kaua'i!!

The perfect house for 6 of us while we vacationed throughout Kauai, but mostly around Koloa and the Poipu Beach area. We were within walking distance of multiple beaches, not to mention a bit longer of a walk to the Village shopping center. The home itself was amazing, making it difficult to leave at the end of our week there. Best of all was the open-air lanai that we used every morning and evening.

Your home was excellent for our multi generational family of six vacation. We enjoyed the lanai and the trade winds. We walked to the beaches every day and enjoyed seeing turtles and seals. We liked the well equipped kitchen. We liked the quick response to the shower issue.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hale Mahina. The home is spacious and clean and in a wonderful neighborhood. So close to multiple access points of the green belt making it easy to access Shipwreck, Poipu and Brenecke Beaches! The host was extremely responsive and helpful. We had no issues whatsoever and would highly recommend this. While it does not have whole house A/C we did not find this to be a problem with great strong ceiling fans and cross breezes - enjoying the truly fresh air! Absolutely love the lanai - so wonderful for relaxing.

We loved our stay at Hale Mahina! The property was appropriately advertised as being a short walk to Poipu Beach, and we took advantage of that convenience, getting up before sunrise so that we could catch the honu before they returned to the sea. The house is an equally nice walk in the opposite direction from Poipu Beach to the Grand Hyatt, which has some bench swings where you can watch the waves come in. The home is clean and spacious, and has a lanai to die for - we spent most of our "chilling" time on that lanai when we weren't off sightseeing somewhere. The one thing I might say is that the cushions on the lounging furniture of the lanai easily slip down, causing some discomfort if you intend to sit for a long time. We were often propping up the support with other pillows from inside the house. The property has a primary bedroom, a second bedroom and a loft, each with an in-window A/C unit. There is no central air in the house, and this was somewhat of an issue for my friends, who wanted the house cool in every room, but a blessing for me, as I much prefer the tradewinds to AC. Several ceiling fans exist throughout the house, in each of the rooms and on the lanai, allowing for a constant breeze to circulate throughout the place. Owners Heather and Dennis were very responsive to our needs, and were very concerned that we enjoy our stay, which we did! I can't wait to come back!

We had an amazing vacation on Kauai. This house was perfect for our group of 4 ladies. We spent our mornings either on the lanai or sitting on the front porch. Everything was perfect and we couldn’t have been happier. Mahalo

We really enjoyed staying here. Short (5 min) walk to the beach and pool. Plus centrally located to all the activities either on the east or west sides of the island. Also they provided beach gear including umbrellas, beach chairs, snorkeling gear, a beach wagon and rolling coolers. We have to say the lanai was a hit and much of time at the house was spent out there. We would definitely return to this house in the future.

Perfect example of home away from home! Lovely home with plenty of room for my entire family! We were even able to host a dinner with the in laws! Loved the private back yard. Having the bbq and outdoor amenities to ourselves was a triple plus!! The AC in the bedrooms helped cool it down just before bed to help get a good night sleep, beds, linens perfectly comfortable. Everything we needed for cooking was provided! Plenty of plates, cookware, utensils in good condition are provided. There wasn’t one single thing that I needed for cooking that I couldn’t find. Lots of people have left beach gear to add to what is already provided. Wagon, three beach umbrellas (we left two), fishing poles, paddle board, boogie board, beach chairs, beach towels, lots of different size snorkel masks and fins. All cleaning supplies and paper products provided. Also lots of left over condiments left from past guests (unopened) so be sure to check inventory before going shopping. I bought stuff before arriving and didn’t need to! Including plastic baggies, foil, etc. The only issue we had was a little bit of incomplete work from the cleaning service, which was immediately fixed including compensation. I couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Hit the jackpot when I found this place! Also, pool area and hot tub is about 5-10 min walk (or you can drive and park at Kalapaki joes) and one of the best pool facilities in Poipu Kai area. Thank you!
