Property Description
Milestone celebration? Family gathering? Corporate retreat in paradise? Whatever the occasion, this spacious, sparkling compound offers ideal large-group accommodations in an idyllic setting. Two elegant new villas nestle on an expansive 1-acre lot, with views that might have been plucked from a rack of curated postcards: glittering swatches of ocean, craggy mountains picturesquely wreathed in mist, vibrant sunsets, lofty palm trees, opulent greenery. The compound sleeps 16, in blissful comfort: the main house, Hale Kahili Nui, boasts 5 lovely en-suite bedrooms, and 3 delightful suites in the separate Hale Kahili ‘Ohana bring the total to 8. The villas’ décor is an artful fusion of tropical charm and contemporary panache, while the island-style layouts, with beautifully appointed great rooms and invitingly furnished lanais, are equally conducive to leisurely relaxation and lively entertaining. In the gleaming, fully equipped kitchens, 3 full-size LG ranges make it a breeze to whip up impromptu snacks, breakfast buffets, and festive menus alike. The outdoor living space, centered around two alluring turquoise pools and a whirlpool spa, also features gorgeously landscaped grounds and a grassy area that’s perfect for picnics, yoga, or lawn games. The pretty Poipu Estates neighborhood is a short drive from the South Shore’s myriad attractions; scenic white-sand beaches are within walking distance, and Kiahuna Golf Club (along with local-favorite Paco’s Tacos Cantina) is just minutes away as well. Location, comfort, charm, and space: the wonderfully livable Hale Kahili Compound checks all the “must-have” boxes, and more!

This property is absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed everything about our stay here! We did encounter a few issues with the hot tub, but the management company was very responsive in working to resolve the issues. I would definitely stay at this property again. We were a little nervous about the noise restrictions, but we did not encounter any issues with that during our stay.

The property was terrific, exactly as pictured and described online. The house was well stocked and very clean. The layout of the bedrooms and the two houses were perfect for our mixed ages group - we had a kids house and an adults house. It worked beautifully! The only issue we had was that the exterior controls for the spa and pool kept tripping out and we couldn't reset them, however the property manager was very responsive and had someone out to fix it quickly, it did happen multiple times on our stay though.
The pool was wonderful and the other outdoor spaces were really nice. I would highly recommend this property, it was absolutely beautiful and so functional for our group of 13.

Such an amazing rental for a large group. We had 15 total guests including 6 children under age 12. The layout of the big house was perfect for group gatherings and quiet spaces when needed. Having a large lanai and pool with amazing views was such a treat. Couldn’t ask for a better layout and the neighborhood is so peaceful. Great communication from property management. Had been a little worried about noise restrictions but didn’t run into any issues!

We had the pleasure of renting Hale Kahili for our very large family and it was perfection! The houses were spotless and well laid out, the pools were just the right temperature for the oldest (over 70) and the youngest (under 2). Everything in the house worked as it should and when we discovered we were short on hairdryers, new ones appeared within the hour. The attentiveness of the Wailani Kauai team was incredible! Thank you so much!

As a relatively new property, you immediately notice how fresh, clean and modern it is. The rooms, baths, kitchen, pool and indoor and outdoor common areas are all up-to-date, well-furnished and comfortable. The location is ideal for all East and South Shore beaches and activities and eating options abound. We were a multi-generational group of 13 (ages 68 to 16) and the main house/Ohana were ideal for us. Great wifi speed and coverage and the TVs are easy to use (had some playoff fans with us). We had some anxiety about the assertive noise warnings, but being from several time zones away, we were all inside early and had no issues whatsoever. Uncertain about how families with young kids might fare with daytime pool excitement. It's nicely appointed in the kitchen, but still needs rounding out with the little things (salad spinner, more plastic glass/dishware for the pool area are examples) that make it feel like all the details have been sorted out. We loved our routine of daily beach or activity followed by pool time at the house. Overall, it's beautiful, modern with lovely landscaping and views and is wonderfully convenient. You won't be disappointed!

We were a party of 13 and rented both houses - lots of space. 2 very nice pools, especially the larger pool/jacuzzi a the large house. We were a party of 9 adults and 4 children. We did our best to abide by the noise curfews (although we did try one of the neighbors - very sorry for that). The location is perfect for beach going, going on excursions, close to grocery stores and shopping. The neighborhood was quiet and there is a nice walk thru the neighborhood and along the golf course. The kitchen in the main house is large and open and perfect for cooking group dinners etc. All in all a wonderful stay we would definitely rent the houses again.

This property is absolutely amazing -- gorgeous and spacious with impeccable attention to detail. The views from the house are spectacular, the amenities are endless, and the location is perfect. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, and the beauty of Kauai is breathtaking. Our party ended up being smaller than we intended, so we had more house than we needed, but it was an absolutely gorgeous place to stay.

Beautiful home. Very clean and fantastically appointed. I’m a chef and our group really enjoyed how well stocked the kitchen was for a rental. Had everything you would need. Unfortunately the home is in a neighborhood that had a VERY noise sensitive neighbor. By 9pm if you were out on the huge patio and talking like us you will either get a call from the house manager or a massive spot light shined directly at you from said neighbor despite the homes being on large lots. Quite unfortunate as the home lends itself to alfresco dining and enjoyment however the neighbor has a 9pm HARD curfew on “any” activities in his “domaine”. As we aren’t a rambunctious group and most don’t drink alcohol even sitting playing board games with table chatter was reported to management.

The homes and property are amazing! The location is great! This was our fifth stay in Poipu. The second home we've stayed in, all prior were beachfront. Overall, this was our family's favorite property, everything considered. The home is new and immaculate. All the bedrooms have king beds, we all commented on the comfort. Each bedroom in the main home had its own bathroom. A washer and dryer in the master bath. There are two additional washers and dryers in the main home. The wrap around porch views are wonderful! The ocean facing glass walls completely open along the entire back of the house and the large glass front door swings securely open to allow the ocean breeze through. A large pool and hot tub for the main home and a pool and outdoor TV for the other home. The media and entertainment offered everything we could want. We enjoyed using the grill and cooking. Two refrigerators in the main home. Property management was first class. Perfectly arranged all our request and had in place upon our arrival. Upon departure all that was required was to pack our bags, lock up and leave, property management did all the cleaning: towels, bedding, refrigerators. We could walk to the beach. Shopping and restaurants within walking distance. The grounds were large with lots of grass to enjoy activities. Master bedroom opens onto the porch with seating to view the ocean and beautiful gardens. Spacious with plenty of room for our party of 14! Will be our first choice upon return!

We were the inaugural quests in this rental property. The ocean views are breathtaking. Palm trees, tropical flowers and dramatic mountain peaks silhouette the house. The sound of a waterfall cascading into the adjacent pool enhances this spectacular setting. In our case, we are two families of longtime friends, and our goal was to provide an enticing destination that would attract (okay, bribe) our adult kids into using precious time-off to join us for a getaway. Previewing the gorgeous property images certainly helped seal the deal, and we are happy to report that our actual stay exceeded every expectation. Hailing from seven different cities and five different states, we’ve managed to come together for a memory-making vacation packed with adventure and much-needed relaxation. Here are some takeaways and highlights: The house has a superior layout with high-quality finishes and sophisticated home systems. It is well-sited with the ocean to the south and mountains to the north. Views from the great room and decks are panoramic. Floor plan is open and spacious. The eight generously-sized en-suite bedrooms easily accommodated our two families. With additional office space, patio seating, big tables and countertops, there are all kinds of scenic nooks and sitting areas. Wailani Kauai team was kind, responsive and thoughtful. This is a five-star experience. We hope to come back very soon!
