Relax to the Sound of the Waves

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: Lovely home with great location. Very peaceful atmosphere—the sounds of the waves is hypnotic. Convenient to everything but near the end of the road so it’s quiet & less developed—very near Allerton Gardens & Spouting Horn. House was clean & comfortable. I will return.

Pleasant stay.

Property is well situated and provides many opportunities to watch whales and relax. The TV cables need to be replaced because they caused may intermittent problems. Some panels in the blinds need to be added and some need to be replaced. Overall a great experience and it could have been better with the minor inconveniences mentioned.

Christmas in Paradise

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: My husband and I wanted to share the beautiful island of Kauai with our adult children. Kahalekai was a perfect base for our adventures. The set up of the house worked great giving the kids the main house and us the cottage. The lanai was our space to experience beautiful sunrises and sunsets as well as enjoy outside dinners with the sound of waves crashing below. We even saw whales in the distance while spending quality time together as a family. Mahalo for making our 2024 Christmas one to remember for years to come.

Beautiful Oceanfront Property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Can't get a much better oceanfront location on Poipu. The view is spectacular. However, the house definitely needs some TLC. All of the bedroom blinds need to be replaced. Every bedroom is missing slats on the blinds, with the cottage being the worst of all. It is missing at least 4 or 5 slats making privacy a big issue. Also, very disappointed that not even salt and pepper were provided. Overall, the house has a million-dollar view, but is in dire need of some new blinds.

Perfect choice for our family on Kaua'i

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 came with an adult family of 6. The house has a main bedroom for parents, a cottage suite for married younger couple and two rooms upstairs for single adults. Right on the water, the sound of the surf, stars at night and other aesthetics were lovely. Kitchen well equipped allowed us to cook together several nights. We were close enough to get to boat tour, helicopter tour, local beach and Waimea canyon within an hour. Na Pali coast was a bit further, but a great day trip

View is stunning 24//7

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: Our family enjoyed the beautiful views from this property. Watching the waves breaking on the rocks just below, occasional sea turtles, outrigger canoe teams, fishing boats and surfers....something to see 24/7, including amazing bright stars at night. Each day we could see whales in the distance, functional binoculars would have been helpful. You will not be let down by the view. And you can literally walk 100 yards up the street to the Spouting Horn, go early and sometimes you'll be the only ones there. The house itself is functionally appointed, but is somewhat dated as its an older home, but the views from all rooms and the spacious lanai are magnificent. There are however a few things that could be done to make guests feel more comfortable, such as functioning blinds without missing panels, baseboard repairs in a few areas, a screen door not staying on track if not careful, a few loose handles here and there, all which would be relatively easy repairs so its surprising they haven't been. All in all we had a wonderful time, the location is amazing!Mahalo

November stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: We had a great stay at this property. Met all our needs. Will mention that when we were cleaning up to check out, some stuff (sock & bottle of vitamins) was found under one of the beds that didn’t belong to us. Could have been cleaner for that reason. Also one slider door was very difficult to lock. if raining - definitely watch your step around the garage area leading to back of house. Is slippery.

Ocean front getaway

Loved waking up and having coffee on the patio each morning. Incredible views from every room. I wouldn’t recommend for small children since you cannot swim out front but there is a nice swimmable beach within walking distance. The guest room was perfect for our newly weds in the group. They had their own kitchen, bathroom, patio and bedroom with portable air conditioning. The location is perfect for exploring both sides of the island but recommend stopping at Costco and stocking up. The local grocery store is extremely expensive. A few things that would make this home perfect…new bath towels (the ones they had were very old and rough), the home is very dated and could use a refresh (paint, furnishings, general maintenance). I would recommend a combo lock on the door instead of a lockbox for ease of use with a large group. Also, the resident rooster became our island pet (we called him Harold) and we looked forward to his morning wake up calls.

Awesome location and views

We stayed at this property for multiple days and it was fantastic. Check in and out was simple. Great sunset ocean views and BBQs on the patio. We had 8 people in our group and the living arrangements were great. Fun little beach within walking distance and only a short 15 minute drive to commercial shopping district. Would stay at this property again in a heartbeat!!!!

Great location and views

While some upgrades to the property would be nice (screens aren’t in great shape and the screen doors are hard to open and close; turning on the lights you want/need isn’t as easy as it should be), the views and location leave little to be desired. Sunrise and sunset views can hardly be beat, and from the lanai we watched turtles swim by, a monk seal bask on the rocks right out back of the house, and humpback whales breaching. Swimming and snorkeling beaches are minutes away, and getting to the rest of the island is easy.

Excellent View and Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We really enjoyed our stay in this ocean view home. The size of the home was perfect for our group. Plenty of space to spread out. The house is clean and well stocked for cooking. I thought the upstairs beds were going to be Queen sized, unfortunately each was a full. The house has plenty of fans to help with the air flow. It does get hot, even in December. Parking is wonderful, remember to back in. The house comes with laundry, beach chairs and umbrellas. We enjoyed the covered patio for shade and rain days. The eating area is limited because the table does not have enough room to put food and table ware to eat for our group. We used it for food service and sat outside or on couches. You need bug spray! Homeowner should do a walk thru inspection regarding condition of window screens, window treatments, furniture both inside and out. We had plenty of towels and soap. Property management was excellent in communication. Gold stars to them!!
