Property Description
This is a beautiful, very private home sitting on 3 acres on the beach. The sunsets are spectacular, and the view from the deck is the ocean and Niihau. A short walk and you're on a gorgeous beach where you can watch surfers at the popular surf spot, Infinity, also known as Pakala.
If you are looking for a place where you can just rest and relax, this is it! Besides the 2 spacious bedrooms & baths, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, living room and family room. A table that seats six is on the deck where you can enjoy meals outdoors.
There are many boat tours of the Na Pali coastline nearby and the road to Waimea Canyon and Kalalau Lookout are just minutes away as well. We are descendants of the Sinclair/Robinson family who arrived in 1864 and purchased the island of Niihau from King Kamehameha V. The land where this house sits and all the surrounding lands, the ahupua'a of Makaweli, was purchased from Victoria Kamamalu, granddaughter of King Kamehameha I, a few years later. We offer a taste of Old Hawai'i here in Makaweli.

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.

The house has a fantastic location. 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.

We have been staying here for years so you might describe it as our second home. We will continue to spend time here every year.

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.

We had an outstanding time at Hale Pakala! A private beach house on 3 acres. The description and pictures are accurate. The town of Waimea is only 3-minute drive away where you will find groceries, restaurants, and the entrance to Waimea Canyon.The house is fully supplied with a great kitchen, 2 living rooms, 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms. Linens and towels are first rate, and the beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean.It all makes for a great and private getaway.
