This lovely hilltop villa, Hale Makani Nui, or House of Strong Wind, is delightfully elevated, in every sense of the word. Its picturesque placement at the crown of a gently sloping lot gives an enchanting estate-like feel to the entire property, while also providing expansive sea-and-sunset views. The dramatic approach, flanked by plush lawns and pygmy palms, ascends to a beautiful home with graceful, soaring lines and a sage-painted façade that seems to echo the luxuriant tropical foliage all around.
Inside, the spacious, impeccably comfortable rooms, furnished in elevated-plantation style with an artful mix of luminous antiques and contemporary accessories, flow seamlessly onto inviting lanais that showcase sparkling views of blue horizon and vividly colorful sunsets. Pleasant surprises and bonus features abound: a mountain-view executive office; 2 refreshing outdoor showers; and a Jacuzzi® on the lanai near the living room, to name a few. As for location, world-famous Poipu beaches, golf courses, and hiking trails are a quick drive away, along with an appealing array of restaurants, shops, and activities. Convenience + comfort + charm: a classical equation that, in this case, equals a perfectly idyllic stay on the spectacular South Shore!

Took the family to celebrate a 80th birthday for my father-in-law. The house was beautiful and a great location to the Poipu beaches.
Only gripes were that since you are on the golf course, the lawn mowers and leaf blowers start at 7am, so bring ear plugs or play lots of white noise. The only other issue was the inside stairwell. Since the stairs and the floors are the same wood, 3 people out of our family of 6 missed the last step and fell within the first day. Ended up buying painters tape and marking the last step which ended all falling

The home is stunning & our family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Immaculate, well stocked including beach chairs & umbrellas. We enjoyed the hot tub and sunsets on the lanai & how close the shopping center was. Thank you, Wailani Kauai

Overall, our stay was great. However, the most concerning issue was that there are cameras on the property, both inside and outside that were not disclosed. After our stay I reached out to the property management and they stated that the cameras are disabled. However, I wish I knew of their presence on the property before I booked. All other issues were minor and the property manager addressed them promptly. The home was beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the Sonos system that was wired throughout the house. The home was well stocked with all the items needed for us to cook meals. The home was also very clean and all linens and terry were as well. Assuming the cameras are removed, I would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it, especially as an efficient location for activities on the south, west, and east parts of the island.

Overall a great house and would recommend. A few things to point out as we rent a lot of houses and have a second home. I would have more kitchen cooking accessories, make easier for a family of 5 (us) or larger to cook. Add cleaning supplies easy to find. If you are staying a place for 5 plus days you want to keep it up! and if your signature picture includes a fire pit, one would assume you can use the fire pit. is it safety issue? anyway thought the feedback would help

This house is awesome! Family of 4 with a 16 and 18 year old. They loved having their own rooms. Plenty of communal spaces for eating and relaxing. Hot tub on the Lanai in the evenings was great! Location was perfect for us. Close to beaches and restaurants and an easy day trip to the North Shore. Hosts were quick to reply to a minor issue that we had. Check in and check out was very easy.

This is an amazing place. Easily slept and accommodated 8 adults. The Lanai is absolutely amazing. Located close to so many things. Sunsets and views from the lanai were great. In the a.m. and p.m. you can hear the waves. I’m highly recommend this property. Property management was also great. Thanks to the owners for sharing this beautiful place with others.

Wonderfully appointed four bedroom house on a golf course. Full sliding glass doors open up from the living area to the entire patio. Central location to Poipu and surrounding areas.

Our trip to Kauai was storybook, in no small part to the home. The architecture, landscaping, and interior of the home was stunning, it was immaculately maintained, and located in a gorgeous and safe community. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything needed for cooking meals. The bedrooms had ample space and the bathrooms were perfect.
The view from the balcony was the highlight of the home!
This was, overall, the best VRBO home we've ever rented.
I would highly recommend this home and would happily rent again!
