Hale Ohana - Beautiful 'House of the Family' - Poipu Beach - sleeps 6
Hale Ohana, meaning “family home,” is a simple, welcoming island retreat nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood just a short 10-minute walk from the crystal-blue waters and sandy shores of Poʻipū on the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. Spend your days enjoying the island lifestyle—surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun with your ʻohana.
This is our personal family home, and it is our kuleana (responsibility and privilege) to care for this space and to welcome guests in a way that reflects the true meaning of aloha—kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. Our hope is to provide an affordable, comfortable place for families to experience the beauty and culture of Kauaʻi. Hale Ohana is not a luxury resort, but a clean, fully furnished home designed for those who value simplicity, connection, and a more authentic island experience.
The home comfortably sleeps 2–6 guests and features a newly remodeled kitchen with a contemporary, open-flow design—creating a warm, inviting space to prepare meals, gather, and share time together. Whether you’re cooking fresh island fish or enjoying takeout after a beach day, we hope this space adds comfort and ease to your stay.
Open the windows and let the gentle tradewinds (makani) flow through the home, bringing in the natural cooling and sounds of the island.
New Feature (Starting May 1st): For added comfort, Hale Ohana now offers full-house air conditioning throughout the home. Alongside the refreshing island breezes, this upgrade gives you the option to cool down and relax after a full day of exploring, adventuring, or enjoying the beauty of Kauaʻi.
Located in a true local neighborhood, Hale Ohana offers an authentic island living experience. You may see free-roaming chickens and encounter the occasional tropical critter—these are a natural part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi and part of the charm of staying in a residential hale rather than a resort.
Step into the backyard and enjoy a bit of island abundance, with avocado, papaya, ʻulu (breadfruit), and mango trees—available to enjoy when in season.
Within just a short 2–5 minute drive, you can experience breathtaking sunsets, seasonal whale sightings, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), blowholes, and the stunning coastline of Poʻipū.
Hale Ohana is especially welcoming for families, with sand toys, boogie boards, a portable crib, and space to relax and reconnect after a day of adventure.
If you’re looking for a comfortable home base to explore the island—a place to cook, rinse off sandy feet, and gather with your ʻohana—Hale Ohana offers a meaningful and memorable way to experience the magic of Kauaʻi.
Please note: Hale Ohana is located in a Tsunami Zone. An evacuation map is available on the refrigerator and in the Welcome Binder for your reference.

Recently we spent a week at Hale Ohana - family and friends. It felt like home! Comfortable and cozy inside with plenty of space, beautiful and relaxing - green! - back yard! Naturally we didn’t spend much time in the house but while being there we didn’t miss anything, all amenities and necessities were present. Close to good food and beautiful beaches , great for snorkeling.
Great location in Poipu and short 10-min walk to Poipu Beach. We had a rental car & was a short drive to markets, shops & places to eat. Lovely backyard & the wildlife in the area is amazing!
The house is awesome! Literally almost everything you need. Beautiful back yard, close to our favorite beaches. Definitely recommend. Thanks Hale Ohana!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hale Ohana. The rooms were all spacious and the beds comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved how close it was to the beach and everything else we wanted to explore in the South and West Shores. I would definitely book here again.
We were very pleased with our recent stay at Hale Ohana. The place is exactly as advertised, The home is stocked with everything you could need for a great stay, including beach supplies for all! We didn't cook, but if we had, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. There are plenty of fans and enough air flow to make up for no air conditioning. We could, and did, walk to the beach and some other nice walks from the house. Thanks for a great stay!
Family of 4 + Grandma for one week at Hale Ohana. It was so spacious, clean, breezy, and everything for the beach, cooking, and all the misc stuff you forget you need. The lanai and back yard were so relaxing. The neighborhood is really quiet and we appreciated being out of the tourist corridor of condos. Highly recommend for all and hope to return ahain
We had a glorious week on Kauai with our grandchildren. Complete with whales,turtles,seals snorkeling and even surfing on our last day. We came “ home” to Hale Ohana after very full days of fun in the sun. The beach equipment was appreciated and helpful too. We would love to come back.
The house was clean and within walking distance to poipu beach, lots of beach toys and snorkeling stuff. The only problem i had which wasn't even a big deal and probably a user error was getting the code to work on the front door but there was an alternative way to be able to get in by using the garage code. Overall the house was amazing and i would definitely stay here again.
The host has obviously made every effort to equip the house with everything you need for a care-free stay. The kitchen has high quality cooking essentials. The appliances are new, including a washer and dryer. Furnishing are also high quality and tasteful. There is even a collection of beach and ocean gear. There is a wealth of local information in a three ring binder and several hiking books. The house is nicely decorated with collectibles and other items that add to a comfy feel.If I ever make another trip to Kaua'i I would definitely stay at Hale Ohana again.
This house was great for our family of four!
The yard had avocado, mango, lime, and breadfruit trees and some were ripe in June. The residential neighborhood was pretty good. The house next door had active construction and a screaming baby with all windows open but stuff like that is to be expected. The A/C window unit in the master bedroom was nice. Other two bedrooms got cool enough to sleep in with all windows open by about 9pm so one of our kids needed to fall asleep in the master bedroom due to time change. Everyone was awakened by roosters by 5:30am since windows were open. Small shady patio out back was nice too. There was a small desk for remote work!
We drove to Poipu Beach (cool turtles and monk seals!) but I suppose you could describe it as walkable, although we didn't see more than a couple of people walking. Also within a 10min drive were Brenneckes Beach, Shipwreck Beach, a cool cave, hike along lithified cliffs and turtle sanctuary. No walkable restaurants but kitchen had everything we needed to cook.
The owner was very helpful and responsive when we needed something.

Won't stay here again
The home was nice; however, it didn't appear the home was cleaned prior to our arrival. There were stains on the linens. When I searched for A/C, the house came up; however, you have to look at the details to find out that it only has a window unit in the master bedroom, so the house was quite hot. The fan in the LR didn't work. The owner was supposed to have housekeepers come out and no one ever showed up to fix or clean. The German cockroaches were a problem especially when someone woke up to one trying to crawl in his ear. We kept putting the lizards back outside until we realized they were actually eating the cockroaches so we left them alone. The owners were responsive to emails but nothing every got corrected. On the positive side, they had a beautiful patio and yard. It's the only house we stayed in that did not have strict guidelines for departure.
The hosts were great and very responsive. We really liked the location and its quiet, residential feel. The beach and nearby shops are walkable — about a 15 to 20 minute walk.There’s lots of space in the house and a beautiful backyard that’s perfect for stargazing at night. The house can get warm if there isn’t much of a breeze, but the air conditioning in two of the bedrooms worked well and kept things comfortable.
Great place, friendly host, has air conditioning in two of the bedrooms. The kitchen utensils are well stocked, albeit somewhat random. Overall I couldn't find a better place for the price.
