Hale Makai, Beach Front Home, Steps to Beach, TVNC# 5065

The Property is perfect. Location is amazing on beach in quiet area, felt we had a private beach. The house is clean bright well maintained and beyond well equiped, Several nice seating/relaxing areas set up out side with beautiful views of the ocean. What made the stay perfect was the information provided by Garden Island properties in advance of travel and during the stay. We also had a request for an item and when we arrived it was there and set up. Sarah was responsive anytime we had a question. The team is great you will enjoy working with them. We recommend this property. And recommend Garden Island Properties for any vacation rental.

Hale Makai was perfect for our needs - we were travelling with our adult children and it as a great home for relaxing, cooking together and game nights. Location was good for seeing the island. One of the best stocked kitchens I’ve stayed in - had everything we needed. Will definitely stay there again.

Love the beach and ocean - right behind the house! Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of waves and the ocean is an amazing experience.

Manager's Response

We absolutely loved this place. The beach was in the backyard—something to hard to find on Kaua’i—and the sunrises and sunsets were magnificent. We also loved the house which was even better than the photos and we loved the covered back porch. It was also really centrally located to do activities but also away from the highly tourist areas

Manager's Response

We stay in a lot of rentals throughout the year and I can say by far this was the best rental we have ever stayed in. We found the location to be one of the best on the island. It was central to everything and had the most local vibe. The house was incredibly clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen. The beach was incredible and every time we went out to adventure we would look at each other and say 'should we just go back to the house'? The nearby store, Walers has the best Poke (get the one with Oyster sauce) and the Juice Hut was pretty epic too. Can't wait to come back!

Manager's Response

We had a great time at this wonderful house. Our favorite days were just hanging out at the house and backyard. The location is gorgeous, and we enjoyed breathtaking sunrises every morning. The house had everything we could ask for.
Garden Island Properties was very attentive and quick to respond if we needed anything. We will be back!!

Manager's Response

I can't say enough good things about this house! The location was amazing ~ right on the ocean, with a beautiful private beach just past the spacious backyard. The house was so comfortable, the various spaces for sitting outside, taking in the view and feeling the tradewinds, were wonderful, and being equidistant from Kiluea & Kapa'a, and not far from Hanalei, was perfect for our family. We had an absolutely magical time, and can't wait to return!

Manager's Response

We loved this house. The beach is right there, soothing waves and shade under the trees. The house is well-stocked and well-maintained. The air conditioning helps, even though the island warmth is what we go there for.

Manager's Response

Very pleasant stay. No problems. We would stay there again if 3 bedrooms are needed.

Manager's Response

This was our third time staying at Hale Makai. We love this house and location. It is quiet with a great beach.

Manager's Response

We value having a great place on the beach, away from hotels and the ability to cook some great meals with local meat/seafood. Hale Makai mets all our objectives and then some. The bay in front of the property is perfect for light snorkeling and just bobbing up/down with the waves. Management company was very responsive to any issues too. Great VR.

Manager's Response

We will be back. What an amazing location and wonderful and comfortable home

Manager's Response

We had a lovely stay. It was a bit rainy and windy while we were there. A few locals told us it was unusually bad weather but we didn’t mind. The waves were too big for the kids to swim but the adults went snorkeling and saw plenty of fish! We found lots of beautiful seashells on the beach. Lovely area! The home was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Manager's Response

The most beautiful house in the most beautiful location! Hale Makai had everything we needed for the week and more. Beautifully furnished and comfortable inside and out. We enjoyed the lanai every day. The kitchen was well stocked and the whole place was spotless. We loved the air conditioning setup so that we could enjoy the warm island breeze during the day and still sleep in a cool bedroom at night. Best of all, the beach is right out the door, perfect for sunning and beach combing and snorkeling/swimming on a calm day. Highly recommended!

Manager's Response

If you are looking at this property for a vacation to Kauai, look no further. The location is wonderful. The views from inside the home to the porch to walking outside are amazing. The home was very clean. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook.
Garden Island Properties was very professional.

Manager's Response

The house had everything we needed and the views are breathtaking

Manager's Response

This home was exactly what we were looking for! It was exceptionally clean and the kitchen was stocked very well. We enjoyed our coffee in the mornings out on the patio, listening to the waves. Each guest bedroom has their own AC controls which was A HUGE BONUS! The owners have thought of everything including beach towels and chairs! What a beautiful home and we will come
Back!

Manager's Response

Just as lovely as it looks in the photos. Lovely neighborhood off the beaten path and very friendly neighborhood. The place was absolutely perfect for our family. Thank you so very much. What an incredible place and we appreciate all of your help. We would love to return!

Manager's Response

We enjoyed our stay at the beach front home with the ocean at your doorstep. We were able to enjoy various water activities in our own private space. As others have mentioned, there are rocks in the water, but we wore water shoes, which we needed in most of Kauai. It was easy to rinse the shoes outside and leave them to dry.
The inside accomodations were roomy for 3 couples and the lanai was a comfortable spot to spend the evening and avoid the sun at it's peak. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Manager's Response

I can't say enough good things about this house. It had all of the charm and beauty you would expect of a beach house in Kauai with the amenities of a resort, including A/C in the bedrooms, which is a huge plus if you are not used to the humidity in Hawaii. We instantly felt relaxed and at home. The house is located right on the beach, but with landscaping that provides privacy. The beach itself might as well be private as there are very few people. The location of the house is ideal on a very peaceful residential road with few if any tourists. It is about a 15 minute drive to Kapaa and 30 minute drive to Princeville (when you don't have a lot of traffic). There is a well stocked kitchen so you can also just hang out at the house and juice and burger shacks within walking distance on the main road. This house was well worth the price.

Manager's Response

Great - everything was as advertised. House was in great shape, beach access was great and beach was better than pictures! Plan on coming back.

Manager's Response

The house was just as advertised . Excellent location right on the beach . Watched sunrise every morning sipping a cup of coffee. House was well stocked with all needed supplies plus beach chairs. Would definitely stay again !!!

Manager's Response

Just an amazing, very special spot. Honestly feel conflicted about rating it so highly because I don’t want it to get TOO popular!

Manager's Response

My family loved this home! From the unique furnishings to the spacious bedrooms to the well-appointed kitchen. The Beach accessories included snorkel equipment, beach towels, beach chairs - just about anything you could want. And the location was hard to beat. Direct access to a nice beach with lots of rocks as well for exploring the tidepools.

Manager's Response

The house was exactly as shown on the website, Garden Properties management was great. The house is very private in a quiet residential neighborhood, there were lots of kitchen equipment, pots pans, dishes etc. The beach is great for walking and there are not a lot of people around, we all loved the location and the house was perfect for our adult family vacation.

Manager's Response

The location is paradise. The house is wonderfully updated and has a great layout for families or large groups. We loved sitting on the lanai and chairs overlooking the beach. Well equipped kitchen. A very nice place.

Manager's Response

The house is the perfect location if you want a quiet beach. The outside patio is the best spot to have a glass of wine during a quick rain. We had a beautiful time here and really enjoyed it. The location makes it easy to get to bigger towns but still away enough it didn’t feel crowded.

Manager's Response

The property and location are perfect. The house has everything you need and more. The communication with the property management company is smooth and very responsive. The office checked in halfway through our visit to ask how things were going; we have never experienced that communication with any company previously. We plan to return to this property.

Manager's Response

Beautiful house on the beach. Had coffee every morning and watched the sunrise. Well-equipped house away from it all. Location was perfect.

Manager's Response

Great House, perfect location, right on the beach, loved every moment.

Manager's Response

We stayed for just about a week and the whole experience was magical. Being able to walk to the beach right from the back door without even needing to put shoes on was a real treat and my kids loved getting to search for geckos in the gorgeous yard. The house itself is lovely, spacious, and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked, the bathrooms are updated, it is overall just a lovely home. The property managers are responsive and helpful and the whole check-in process is a breeze. We will definitely be back here!

Manager's Response

This home was just what we were looking for and on an amazing beach. The kitchen was well stocked, it had plentiful beach towels, and tons of beach gear.

Manager's Response

The house was wonderful. The location was secluded and relaxing and accommodated 6 adults easily. The kitchen is setup will anything you might need and the BBQ was an added bonus.
My only negative would be the beds. All of them could use an upgrade.
We had a few hiccups and reached out to the property managers and they were resolved right away. The communication is prompt and positive.

Manager's Response

We had a glorious and peaceful 5 days in this beautiful bungalow on the beach. We had had to cancel in May so this was a late honeymoon and First wedding Anniversary trip for us and Garden Island worked with us for the new dates. We loved the house it had everything we needed, it was incredibly comfortable and the location amazing - Garden Island Properties were communicative with any and all info we needed. We can't wait to go back.

Manager's Response

This house was magical and everything our family needed! The home was clean and perfectly stocked with everything you will need for an amazing vacation. The beach was perfect for families with little ones and the ocean is literally your back yard. We LOVED our stay!

Manager's Response

We could not have asked for a better place to vacation with out of town guests. Very clean and comfortable, right on the beach, centrally located between Kapaa Town and Princeville/North Shore, with all the amenities you would need for a relaxing Hawaiian vacation. The beach gear (chairs, umbrella, beach towels, cooler) came in very handy and we enjoyed bbqing on the grill out back, lounging in the backyard overlooking the ocean, having meals or coffee on the back lanai, morning walks down the road and on the beach. Do not look any further, this property will not disappoint and is a new family favorite. We will be back!

Manager's Response

This place is great and I loved staying here. The home is very clean and cozy. The beach is so close but be careful with the ocean, it's very strong. the shore is sandy but after that the entire area is rocky, so wear water shoes. Recommend booking directly from website with Garden Island Properties. It is user friendly and save a little bit of money then using Airbnb or VRBO. Plus the the company is responsive and has been in business for along time.

Manager's Response

Location was amazing. Easy walk to the beach. Had washer and dryer access. Overall very nice and will def come back again!

Manager's Response

We stayed here for one week while in Kauai and loved every minute of it. The house is as advertised...literally steps to the beach. The clean beach front home had a fully equipped kitchen along with some cooking spices. The house was well supplied with bedding, towels, shampoo, beach chairs and cooler. The washer and dryer were a bonus. It was a great location to explore the center to the north of the island. The check in/ check out procedures were very detailed and easy to follow and any questions were answered in a timely manner. The best part of this house was being able to walk outside your back door to an almost private beach for daily sunrises, long walks and watching ghost crabs. At first we were concerned about the a/c only available in the bedrooms, but found that using the dehumidifier and leaving the windows closed in the main part of the house on humid days to be comfortable. We enjoyed the non touristy area, the natural beauty, the trails, the neighbors and smoothies at Moala Sunrise Juice Bar. We would highly recommend

Manager's Response

This house is nothing short of AMAZING! The owners thought of everything to make our stay perfect! The kitchen was perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need and the house was spotlessly clean. Our own slice of paradise on an island that is truly beautiful. The sunrises, moonrises and our own little beach for a week were the icing on the cake. We would definitely stay here again! Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home with us! The Lambert’s and Martin’s

Manager's Response

We loved the house and the central location of Anahola. We would definitely stay again and would recommend the property to friends. Anahola is a quite beach and area. You will need a car when staying in Anahola.

Manager's Response

Located on a beautiful beach, this house was clean and had all the amenities. We would happily stay there again. Note: it was super hot when we were there in late September and the a/c is only in the bedrooms, but that was fine because we were mostly outside in daylight hours and just needed the a/c for sleeping.

Manager's Response

We have stayed at Beachfront Hale Makai 5 Times, every Time has been a wonderful experience and the house and beach are immaculate, and the Property Management’ Company, Garden Island Properties, Customer Service & Communication another 5 Stars, will rent again! Mahalo!

Manager's Response

My mom is ill and I'm embarrassed to say she has been wanting to go to Kauai for over 30 years! It's taken us way too long to grant her wish. My parents are too old to travel alone so my husband and I finally took the time. She told me she wanted to stay in a house! So this is what we picked. It was absolutely amazing! Picturesque views and the beach was right in our backyard. They loved every minute of it!! Thank you for allowing us to share your beautiful home. I can't wait to go back!!

Manager's Response

Pictures do not do the Hale Makai house justice! It was the perfect rental. It was definitely the most relaxing vacation imaginable!

Manager's Response

Gorgeous home and gorgeous location. We'll definitely book again.

Manager's Response

This was our fourth or fifth stay at Hale Makai. The house is always immaculate and so well-appointed. The quiet location on Anahola Bay is perfect. We keep returning even though the cost is very high.

Manager's Response

A wonderful property just steps from the beach. Modern updates to the house, a beautiful basically private beach, complete with all the accessories you might possibly need.

Manager's Response

This home was paradise on earth. A few steps and you’re on the most beautiful beach, and a perfect beach for families, the waves break far out so there’s plenty of calm waist deep water to swim and snorkel in. Of all the beaches we visited, this was the best one and we woke up to it EVERY MORNING! We watched the sun rise over the ocean every morning. The house was equipped with everything we needed and more! It was centrally located, easy 15 minute drive to the closest town with coffee shops and restaurants and bars, 25 minutes to Princeville. It was nice leaving the touristy areas and returning to a quiet secluded home every night, we had the best of both worlds! I hope we’re lucky enough to stay here again someday, can’t wait to return!

Manager's Response

We are long time vacation renters with Garden island Properties, usually in Kapaa. This was our 1st time at this property and it surely won't be our last! It is a lovely home in the most beautiful, private setting. The amenities are great and the sight and sounds a bit of heaven on earth. Being able to walk on a quiet beach, eat all our meals sitting on lanai while watching the sun rise, moon rise and then be able to hop on the car and head North or 10 minutes to town for a bit of shopping. Already planning our next trip!

Manager's Response

Perfect from start to finish, communication with Garden Island properties prior to and during stay was great, property, very clean, completely equiped, location directly on beach and feels very private.

Manager's Response

Hale Makai was the PERFECT home away from home for our family of 4. We had never been to Kauai and wanted to stay somewhere that had easy access to both the North and South beach areas. This home was the perfect solution. We also loved how secluded it felt while being close to great activities. We would certainly book it again!

Manager's Response

Amazing location. Great house. Clean.

The only complaint is that the beds in the non-master bedrooms were extremely uncomfortable and the couches were also very uncomfortable.

Manager's Response

We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. Quiet neighborhood away from tourist resorts. We walked out the back door through the yard to the beach every morning to watch the sun rise.

Manager's Response

This property was perfectly situated and offered the most perfect location to relax and enjoy what Kauai has to offer : sun, tranquility and aloha. The beaches were divine and the house felt like a home. Don’t forget to go zip lining and fly - Koloa Zipline rock !!!

Manager's Response

We really appreciated the extra amenities like the extra plates and very nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs. The only negative thing I would mention is the uncomfortable living room-kitchen area. There really needs to be some kind of a/c unit for this area as well as a blind for the window in front of the dining room table as the morning/afternoon sun lets in a lot of heat.

everything was perfect. the only disappointment was the dilapidated outdoor grill. will be back

everything was perfect. the only disappointment was the dilapidated outdoor grill. will be back

The rental property was perfect. Each bedroom was exactly what we needed to rest up from days activities. The house came with every possible thing you would need. It is very well stocked including the beach chairs. Every morning we watched the sunrise on the perfect beach. We even seen a seal swim by. We snorkeled straight out from the house it was perfect with tons of fish on the reef. I walked the entire beach which was about 1 mile each way. We basically had a private beach in front of the house. The island was amazing. We hiked and stopped at every lookout in Waimea Canyon, hiked Hanea state park. We survived Hanakap’ia falls hike which took us just short of 8 hours. We saw the sea turtles in Poipu beach. We drove to lookouts for waterfalls. We kayaked and hiked to secret falls. We visited Hanalei which is a quaint town and great beach. From the property we were located to explore the entire Island. We downloaded the Shaka app which led us on tours of the island and told us where to explore. The thing about this house is you could have easily just relaxed in the yard or beach or porch. For us we wanted to explore the island. I would absolutely book this property again. Thank you for the memories that will last forever.

Manager's Response

My family had a wonderful stay in this property. Well equipped and ideal location.

Manager's Response

We loved the location of this island home and the direct beach access. Daily sunrise walks on the beach were our favorite part of this location. It is in a lovely neighborhood and a popular Juice Hale is just a mile away that makes for a most convenient breakfast or lunch stop.
The biggest downside of the property is that there is no air conditioning in the kitchen/dining/living room area. Nor is there a screen door on the front door so even with the ceiling fans running and the lanai door open to its screens, on days when there is little or no sea breeze the main section of the house becomes unbearably hot like an oven. Luckily we only had one day of that kind of heat without a breeze and we spent all our time either out of the house or in the air conditioned bedroom.
It's worth noting that the lanai photo in the property listing is of furniture (with red upholstery)that has been replaced. They really should update that photo.
One other note for those who plan on staying there. If you arrive at night, look for the house on the right with a fenced in wooden wall. The rental house is right after that fencing near the end of that section of road. The house number is difficult to see at night.

Manager's Response

We stayed at Hale Makai for a family vacation - my husband and I, my mother, and our 3 kids ages 1, 3, and 5. This house was perfect for us! They had a pack n play with a mattress available for us, as well as a high chair. There is plenty of grass for young kids to run around in when they tire of the beach or need a change of scenery. And the beach! Oh my goodness - it was perfect! Hauling gear to a beach even just across a road with three little ones is too much for me. The beach here is just past the backyard. The trees/bushes that separate the yard from the beach provide a natural canopy for young babies too afraid to play in the water and an adult to supervise them. The beach waters are calm enough that a 5 year old enjoyed using her snorkel goggles to look at the schools of fish that would swim by us, and my husband enjoyed a swim not too far from shore. Do be careful though because the tide is strong in the late afternoon. Twice we saw sea a sea turtle sunning itself on the beach, and watched it go back into the water - a real treat for city folks! The beach is basically a private beach - exactly what I wanted especially during COVID times. We saw maybe a couple of people each day, and just passing by. Back to the house...it was a perfect fit for us. The air conditioning in the bedrooms is very nice to have and helped us to sleep very comfortably. If you are traveling with a baby I would recommend bringing along a blackout tent for cribs like the SlumberPod to make sure they can fall asleep as the rooms don’t get that dark when the sun is still out. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our basic meals; spices, sugar, oil, pots, pans, blender, coffee maker, keurig and tea kettle. The furniture is all comfortable and clean. We can’t wait to head back to Hale Makai!

Manager's Response

My teenage kids and I traveled to Kauai for my 50th birthday. The location of the house was ideal. We loved being steps from the beach and the central location made it easy to venture out and see the rest of the island. The house was very well appointed with just about everything we could need. And Garden Island Properties were a dream to work with. Every question we had prior to arriving was answered promptly.
We would definitely consider renting this house again!

Manager's Response

We will be back. This spot really suits us. We enjoy the convenient access to the beach for walking. Very impressed with management company's communication. We had small issue with TV and had a response in hours. A very friendly guy showed up to provide the fix. We will not recommend this house however as we don't want competition for the next time we want to rent :)

Manager's Response

Hands down would come back and rent again. I researched tons and very picky where I stay, this was amazing! The location was perfect! The chickens were adorable, the beach was incredible, we were literally the only ones out there all day, you'll see a few people but basically a private beach. The house was equipped, beds were comfy. Will definitely be back.

Manager's Response

Wonderful, clean home in an ideal location on Kauai. Private beach, morning visits from sea turtles and seals. Quiet neighborhood.

Manager's Response

Outstanding.. the property is located in a beautiful part of the Island.The beach is fantastic and the water is great.We can't wait to go back.

Manager's Response

The only suggestion is to cut back the plants at the driveway instance it's hard to see traffic coming from either side when pulling out.

Manager's Response

This place was perfectly located to enjoy all parts of the island! Very nice. The kids had so much fun playing on the beach right in the back yard!

Manager's Response

Very clean. Great location. Loved being able to walk out the back door and watch the sunrise from the beach each morning.

Manager's Response

The house was in a great location and stocked with everything we could want. Very clean place and well-maintained. Owner had good communication throughout. Only negative is lack of AC in the main areas, only the bedrooms.

Manager's Response

The beachfront home was an excellent place to stay for our sibling vacation. It was very relaxing and steps from the beach. I would recommend this home to anyone wanting a nice place to stay. Very clean and everything you would need to stay. The only thing I noticed was the shades in the master bedroom needs to be replaced.

Manager's Response

Fantastic!

Everything about this house was accurate and when we got there- really it turned out better than pictured. The beach is wonderful for swimming and snorkeling and just sitting and watching the whales breach. We had a monk seal down the beach, lots of fun in the river down the beach a bit, and very private and quiet. The beach chairs, cooler, toys and boogie boards were very helpful and were perfect! The kitchen had all we needed and more! We never used the AC- the breezes and fans were all we needed- it was perfect. Everything was well maintained and up to date and worked. We booked next year already.

Manager's Response

Great!

This home was perfect. We had everything we could possibly need. The location was right in between everything so we never had far to drive. Tons of trails right near by to hike. The kids had fun playing on the beach and I really didn’t have to worry about the waves sweeping up on the beach because of the reef. The beach had barely anyone on it and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. We would love to go back!

Manager's Response

This is a very spacious house on a big property. Very private, perfect especially for families with kids, who will love to play in the garden and on the beach, which is really only steps from the house. We found the house clean, well maintained, and very well equipped with everything visitors could want or need. Very quiet neighborhood.
The house is very comfortable and tricked out with all kinds of fun electronics. The decor is perhaps a bit tired.
Kanani and Sue of Garden Island Properties were wonderful to work with from the very beginning of the booking process. They replied very quickly and patiently to every email. When I complained that some of the pots and pans were a bit scratched they delivered a brand-new set of new cookware the next day. We were all impressed!

Manager's Response

This is a fabulous beach house. It is right on a beautiful beach and is quite private. The house is very well stocked with kitchen items as well as beach toys and everything you need for Hawaii adventures. We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather in January, it only rained a bit a night. My group of 5 women were very comfortable and happy and will stay at this rental again.

Manager's Response

Hale Makai is a nice neat cottage right by the ocean. It is comfortable for up to 6 people. It's off the beaten path on a dead end road. It's great if you want privacy and your own beach. If you want to be in the middle of things it might not be for you. We really enjoyed our stay.

Manager's Response

This was a wonderful beach house, fully equipped with everything you could need. Situated on a lovely beach, with a nice back yard and comfortable lanai. We were so happy to return to this haven after each busy day. The location was ideal for traveling both north and south. An easy 10 minutes to Kapaa. We loved the vintage ukuleles and other decorative touches. There were boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas. The only suggestions would be to replace the sheets, they were a little worn, and the grill? Not much of one.

Manager's Response

Arriving late at night we had the wonderful surprise of awakening to be right on the sands of a beautiful bay. With only one house between ours and the end of the street, the beach is nearly enough, practically private. Perfect!
The house was spotlessly clean with a well-stocked kitchen, and abundant bath and beach towels. Also ceiling fans in every room, lounge chairs, and some good books... We loved this house and hope to return someday. Thank you for the hospitality!

Our only suggestion is to give clearer instructions to locate the house after dark, for anyone arriving from the mainland on a p.m. flight. From the street, one can't see the address signs, and there's no obvious indication which house is the correct house. Once we realized that there was only one house after 'ours,' we had an easier time.

Manager's Response

Thank you for sharing your home.

Hale Makai was perfect for our group of 4. The home was clean and inviting with the beach only steps away. The home contained everything we needed. We had a problem with the TV but the management helped us and had it working right away. We enjoyed our stay at Hale Makai very much and would stay there again.

Manager's Response

In addition to it's private ocean front location, Hale Makai is beautifully decorated and features all the comforts of home. Being able to spend time in this lovely home made our stay relaxing and infused us all with the aloha spirit. Thank you for sharing your beautiful island home.

Manager's Response

Great location right on the beach, we only had maybe six people walk by the whole week. The rental is stocked to the gills with all the little things; flashlights,matches, sewing kit, iron, pots and pans etc. very clean and well organized. I hesitate to write up any more because I don’t want you competing with me when I rent it again.....and I definetly will.

Manager's Response

I gave my grown sons and daughter in laws a trip to Kauai for Christmas. We had a wonderful time!! The house was perfect! Beachfront property with AC for sleeping. I raised the bar for sure. So many great restaurants close and cute shops. We enjoyed and would recommend this house to anyone that loves an ocean vacation.

Manager's Response

so relaxing, culturally enlightening and great fun

We had the best time at this beach house. Beautiful beach in Kauai. My family loved this place and would stay here again.

Manager's Response

My family and I spent a lovely week at this rental property. The location was in a prefect quiet spot right on a beautiful wind swept beach with just a few neighbors. The house itself had everything you could need including a lot of beach equipment (chairs, snorkels sand toys) full kitchen and great air conditioning in the bedrooms.

Manager's Response

we had a really nice time. the house is great, has everything you can think of. was a little afraid since only the bedrooms are air conditioned, but the breeze really makes it comfy. it's a little out of the way, but that's part of the beauty.

Manager's Response

We enjoyed our stay at Hale Makai. The cottage is very comfortable and well stocked with kitchen ware, beach toys, chairs and towels. The WiFi was speedy. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. We didnt stay during hot weather but if needed there are ac units in the bedrooms.

Manager's Response

stayed at this location for a family adult vacation. Perfect setting with beach near-by but easy to get to other attractions. It was a little warm in the living areas (stayed in Feb) in the evening, even with the windows open.... but the Air Conditioning in each bedroom made sleeping great. The porch / lanai was wonderful. Would stay here again, if ever in the area.
