Breathtaking, magnificent, superlative, sublime: there’s simply no way to overstate the extraordinary appeal of this uniquely situated, strikingly beautiful oceanfront estate. Hale O Ka Nalu Po'i (poetically named for the waves that crash dramatically against lava-rock cliffs) offers all the irresistible features you’d expect to find in a tropical paradise, and more. Every inch of the expansive acre-plus lot is idyllic, and inviting: the velvety, verdant lawns; the sparkling azure swimming pool and whirlpool spa, partially shaded by breeze-ruffled heliotrope trees; the sinuous bluffs overlooking pellucid tide pools and a beguiling little beach that’s often visited by stately sea turtles.
The custom-designed villa—a picturesque cluster of airy, peaked-roof pavilions connected by marble walkways—evokes the timeless elegance of a seaside palazzo, with every window framing a dazzling view. Each of the three charming bedrooms adjoins an en-suite bath, and opens onto its own comfortably furnished lanai. This oceanfront home embodies the essence of ‘Island Casual’ living, with a focus on relaxation and the breathtaking beauty of its direct ocean views; a perfect spot for those seeking an authentic and unpretentious island experience. Living areas, including the spacious great room and a chef-friendly kitchen, are crowned with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, and the 'Island Style' décor is enhanced throughout by engagingly eclectic works of art. And when it’s time to venture beyond the enchanting borders of Hale O (as it’s called, fondly), all the famous South Shore attractions—beaches, dining, shopping, adventures—are just a short drive away!

Our first visit to Hawaii. Breathtaking! The best place to be was in the backyard. This was a bucket list trip for us. We would visit again in a heartbeat (if we could afford it!).

Reviewer Comments:
The location of this property can not be beat. Very private with well maintained grounds and sea turtles and Spouting Horn viewing right from the lawn. Very conveniently located to see any sights on the island. A few notes about the interior: the furniture is very dated (uncomfortable) and the kitchen desperately needs an upgrade. But the beds were very comfy and the master suite was lovely. Also the kitchen and house were stocked with everything you would need. The air conditioning in the primary bedroom was much appreciated but it can get warm in the rest of the house. We weren't spending too much time indoors so this didn't limit us from having a relaxing and enjoyable time at this property. But it would be A++ with a few investments by the property owner.

ADVANTAGES
Endless private oceanfront
Covered patios everywhere
Seamless arrival and departure
Spotless
Responsive management company Wailani
NEUTRAL
Decor is dated but we'll maintained
Kitchen and laundry well stocked - no shortage of paper towels, soaps etc
DISADVANTAGES
AC is ONLY in master bedroom - so master bathroom, main rooms, 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are hot at night, even with windows open and the breeze.
No AC in kitchen means any produce outside fridge will spoil overnight.
The property is advertised as "Air conditioning" but you have to read in the fine print to see it's only in the Master bedroom (not in master bathroom), and this was a very bad surprise on arrival. For the price it should include AC in the whole house.

There are not enough words to describe how happy we were with the property and our experience on Kauai. Kristine and the team were just beyond amazing. The property is stunning. Blissful is an understatement. Thank you for making this experience for our family one that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Yes, it is worth it. We felt like we had the best home on the island. This property is BEYOND amazing. Huge and offering privacy and security. Indescribable views from every spot on property. The pool is cool and refreshing and the hot tub hot and relaxing. PRIVATE beach which we nicknamed Teal Beach for the combo of turtles and seals that showed up there to visit. We had three adult couples and this home could not have been better to exceed our needs. Also great location on island. We did not want to leave. Would definitely stay here again!

This property is a one of a kind special place that combines location and privacy beyond belief. The unique layout of an oceanfront house on 3/4 acre spread-out in a way to give three separate rooms each there own feel of a private stay but having a common kitchen and gathering room bringing all together provides the best of both worlds for all guests.The pool and spa are perfectly located on the end next to spouting horn providing a front and center display while enjoying. Each morning you are entertained by a host of sea life from a family of turtles to tired monk seals and the land critters such as the resident rooster and cardinals. The tidepools are endless and the flora and fauna is beyond belief. Anyone considering this location should jump at the opportunity to stay. Management communication was perfect and seamless check in and departure.
