Wonderful Cottage

Cozy cottage with several private lanais. Few minutes walk to the beach where we could wander for miles. We had breakfast and dinner on the front lanai most days. We had a great time and look forward to returning!

There are windows on every side, so it was light and bright. Watching the rain from the covered lanai was romantic and relaxing. Just right for two!

Beautiful property!

The home was so cute and comfortable! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The house is walking distance to some of the best beaches in the world. I would absolutely stay here again. One thing we didn’t realize is that even when booking with VRBO, we still worked with a third party management company. It didn’t hinder our stay at all but I wasn’t expecting another company to reach out to me asking for my payment information, etc. I like the ease of booking through the app and communicating through the app.

This is second year we've stayed at Hale Pua Kai and the house is perfect for us: the layout is ideal for a couple, the seclusion and idyllic yard, comfortable neighborhood, and there have been very thoughtful upgrades since last year. Kauai Vacation Rentals are welcoming and efficient. We feel that all aspects of the rental experience were pro as well as personal. Love this staff!

Just as perfect as we remembered— although there were clearly some upgrades to the property that we truly appreciated. So happy to have a big, clean tub for my daily hot soak! The mattress on the huge king bed was SO comfy. Don’t know why we waited so long to return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been so lucky to have stayed at this great house 4 times, since 2013!!! We feel blessed to have the beautiful spirits of this house be ours for a few days. When we got in, and it was 4:30 our time, we felt so grateful to be able to go to sleep, and wake up in a familiar place to the swaying palms and roosters. Heaven. Our little beach is just a short walk, and i dream of coming back. House is so well equipped and we had dinner each night on the porch. Absolutely amazing stay!!!

Nice, but...

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was pretty much as described...a cottage in the rain forest. North Kauai is beautiful, but be prepared for rain. On a rainy day the cottage is especially dark. It can be quite cool inside on those days, too. Previous guests mentioned the mgmt. company as being unresponsive. We found this to be true, too, after the booking was completed. TV remotes still needed batteries, all the outdoor candles lacked wicks, and our texts went unanswered. Also, as previously mentioned furniture looked tired. Bed, however, was comfortable.

Almost Perfect

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: This sweet little house is a gem. Old school, Hawaiian charm. We loved the privacy and the casual setting, the outdoor shower, the beach umbrella and chairs, the covered porch in the rain, and most of all the LOCATION. We walked to the beach every day, and even walked to Haena State Park to hike to Hanakapiai. It was awesome. That said, there are some big things to note. The place does not have a hotel room safe, which it needs and we requested to no avail. The old louvered windows (very necessary for ventilation) just don’t lock securely. We took our valuables (iPhones, wallets, iPad etc) to the beach every day, which meant we could not snorkel together. It was a major bummer. From personal experience (at a different rental on the same street) we no longer leave valuables unlocked or unattended. The tv remote failed a few days in to the trip, and it was never really addressed. We only missed tv a little for news. But it might have mattered to someone else a bit more. The house also needs just a deep cleaning/detailing. The bedroom drapes need cleaning, or better yet replacing. The bed and pillows need a refresh too. And it does not have a comfortable living room. There are only chairs with an ottoman and a chaise. Neither are comfortable, and you can’t cuddle up with your companion. And the upholstery is very tired. We covered it with the extra cotton blankets in the armoire, after we first washed them. It wouldn’t take much to upgrade the house just a little bit. It needs it. It deserves it. It’s a special, special place. We had fun imagining how great the simple improvements would make it.. My husband and I have rented many, many homes in Haena over the last 15 years. I started out as a backpacker to Kalalau and camper at Haena Beach Park in 1985. It’s the most magical place on earth, and we leave our hearts there every time we have to depart. Mahalo to the owner of this home for letting us enjoy Haena.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 love this property for its location, charm and comfort. It's our 'home away from home' when we come to Kauai once or twice a year. We love to settle in and cook dinners at home most nights, and this year made a perfect Thanksgiving dinner ala Foodland where we picked up a fresh turkey breast & yams, and fixings. Shout out to Kauai Vacation Rentals, so pro and such a nice staff; they make it a perfect and easy stay. Mahalo!
