Wonderful spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hale Moana. The home was very comfortable, and we had wonderful views from the house and deck. The ability to walk steps to baby beach was perfect. When the tide is higher and there are bigger waves, it's great for some easy body boarding as well.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our time at Hale Moana. This is our 3rd time renting from Garden Island Rentals but the first in this home. We love the location and the home had everything we needed. Sitting on the lanai and looking at the ocean was heavenly. And the 2 turtles that came up on the beach each day were the icing on the cake! We did have some problems with the keypad for entry, perhaps it needs a new battery?

Best location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this house. It was such a beautiful house and location. It wasn’t a beach that we wanted to stay at with with our older kids. There wasn’t any waves. But it was the perfect house/beach with younger kids. Two turtles came on the shore every night. I liked how close it was to all of poipus amenities. All the cooking things you could want. Wish the master had a king bed. The queen felt small and it was kinda hard. But it was fine. Turn on sound machine at night so rosters don’t wake you so early

Perfect. Very comfortable and well appointed for the grandparents to relax and enjoy the view and escape to paradise.

Perfect weather, warm water, daily turtles on the beach...who could ask for more. Garden Isle was available and accommodating. We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our two week stay...other than the fact we had to leave...making plans to return next year..will probably need to move to the Stone House due to more folks coming with us.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our three week stay in Hale Moana was fabulous. We have returned at least a half dozen times in the last decade. It is rare to find such a comfortable house in such a perfect location. Some times friends join us, sometimes family. We like to cook, read, do puzzles and take long walks each morning. Kauai climate, even the occasional showers and winds, is wonderful change from home in cold and snowy North Idaho.

Home is great for a family of four- beds aren’t the best but hard to complain when you can watch the waves from them. New floors are a huge upgrade over the previous carpet.

Hale Moana, a great place to stay, management not so much

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Hale Moana was a perfect spot for our stay in Kauai. great location, literally steps from Baby Beach. nicely shaded with a nice breeze that kept the late July temps down. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, but there are a few things that need to be addressed. I called their office once before we left, and twice while we were there. I got the answering machine of someone named Charlee. Charlee doesn't return phone calls. We called the emergency number because the kitchen sink was backing up and the garbage disposal was not working. He had never heard of Charlee either, but he came right out and fixed it. Finally got ahold of someone to tell them the TV in the master did not work, the blinds in the second bedroom could not be raised, and the toaster would not toast. none of this was fixed while we were there. the master shower had heavy black mold spots on the tile, and the shower liners were all mildewed. Both bathrooms need a heavy cleaning, and one of the twin beds had holes in the sheets. All that aside, this is a great place to stay, nice and quiet, very comfortable, just needs a little TLC. And you can't be the views.
