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!

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 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!

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.

Aloha Jesse, Thank you for your recent stay with us. We are happy to hear that you had a wonderful time and felt clean and cozy. The beach fronting the property is not a life-guarded beach. We would recommend life guarded beaches such as Anahola beach park on the opposite side of the bay. It was very nice having you and we do hope to welcome you back to stay again soon!

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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
Aloha Susan and thank you for your stay with us. We are happy to hear that you loved the home and enjoyed the beautiful sunrises! The home provides a pleasant cross breeze when opening the lanai door and windows. The lanai furniture has been recently upgraded and a photographer has been scheduled to update the photos on the listings. We appreciate your review and hope to have you back to stay with us again!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Family reunion holiday (UK and New Zealand)
The choice of island, location and property could not have been more
perfect.
The house is very well equipped from the kitchen to supplying picnic
Equipment and snorkels etc.
The garden with a beach almost in the back garden was amazing.
One evening we saw a Hawaiian Monk Seal and a Turtle
playing on the beach beside the house.
The town of Kapaa is the nearest town and is quite low key
and unspoilt. There are a few bars, restaurants and shops.
We recommend Hemingway's Cafe and the Ocean View Bar.
The island is very green and beautiful. There is also plenty
of activities. We kayaked and hiked, zip lined and took
a helicopter ride with Island Helicopters.
Perfect for surfing and the sea is beautifully warm
Also worth taking a day visit to Pearl Harbour on the
neighbouring island of Oahu. Lots of flights with
Hawaiian Airways (20 mins).
We had the best family holiday and have lots of
lovely memories.
We would thoroughly recommend this fantastic house.
Would love to come back one day.

We had an amazing stay at Hale Makai-perfect for our group of 4 adults, 2 kids. The lanai was our favorite spot, after exploring the island during the day, perfect place to relax. The house was well equipped and very clean. We swam right off the beach and walked the beach often. We did drive to a different beach just a couple miles away to boogie board as we wanted more waves for that. Nice location for exploring the island, wasn't a long distance from anywhere we wanted to go.

The location of this vacation home was fantastic! We loved being right on the ocean and in a private area. We were able to spend our days exploring the amazing island and then returned to relax each evening. We had everything we needed and that view was just outstanding! Thank goodness we had a/c in the bedrooms as it did get hot in the house! Our only complaint was that the living room furniture was not very comfortable but we didn't sit there much rather we enjoyed the great deck! We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed every minute!

This home was the perfect retreat for a corporate couple looking for some peace and quiet. Quiet but lovely beach was footsteps away from the porch! The beach wasn't crowded at all (even on a holiday week) and we loved not having to go anywhere or wait on anyone to pick up the key. The house is well kept and has some nice extras. A great place to vacation!

Hale Makai was exactly as pictured and described. Anahola Beach is beautiful and most mornings we were the only ones there. The location on the east side, makes it well placed for going south or north to the other sights on the island and was a quiet haven to return to at the end of a busy day. It has pretty much everything you could need including a high chair and pack and go bed for small children and lots of beach equipment including umbrellas, boogie boards, fins, water shoes and beach chairs, This was a beautiful place and one that we will definitely visit again.

This was our second d stay at Hale Makai, and there is something quite special about this place. Perhaps it's that the house is immaculate. Perhaps it's that it's classy without being fancy. Maybe it's the well-equipped kitchen. Or maybe it's the Sonos music system(!!) and the Apple TV. Could it be the lovely lanai where the sound of the ocean waves is soothing and just steps away? It might be the lovely bay to walk along each morning and evening. Perhaps it's the solitude of this peaceful location. For all these reasons and more we just love this house and this spot! Already we're planning next year's visit. Can't wait!

We enjoyed Hale Makai and its amenities. It was clean and well appointed. I would recommend this location to others and will likely return if possible. Directions were clear and easy to find when arriving during the daytime. I made a mid-week call to report a broken shade in a bedroom, but did not receive a return call, nor was the shade repaired during our stay. It was a small problem and did not detract from the over all experience.

We stayed at Hale Makai for 4 days at the beggining of September 2016. The home is easy to find, well decorated and the kitchen is fully stocked with appliances/dishes/bakeware/cookware. The view and beach out back are AMAZING. Find out about the high tide for best times to lay out. There is also a large supply of ocean/beach supplies provided including 2 umbrellas, masks, snorkels, boogie boards etc. The A/C is only in the bedrooms and they do struggle to cool the entire house depending on the heat outside. The outside shower is very handy but would be even better if it was closed off to allow a full shower to cut down on the amount of sand that gets EVERYWHERE ?? A clothes line to dry towels and swim suits would also be handy. As would a screen door for the front door.
Wonderful home!

Hale Makai was everything described and more. The house was spotless and had everything our family could have needed. The lanai was perfect for breakfast and evening meals. It was very private and the only noise we ever heard was the crashing of the waves. The ocean is literally steps from the house and the beach is very private. The only drawback is that Anahola is not much of a community, so you will need to drive to everything other than the beach, but the privacy and serenity were worth it. Anatolia is a perfect spot for exploring the whole island, as it is about halfway between Hanalei to the North and Poipu to the South.

We so enjoyed the beautiful setting of the house, just steps to the beach. We enjoyed hiking the beach and could walk about a mile south and 1/4 north in bare feet. The sand is not firm or level so it is not an easy stroll but a beautiful hike.
We we could see whale spouts from the couch. We were treated to a Monk Seal sleeping on Anaholo Beach just south of the house. We snorkeled directly in front of the house once, but found conditions for snorkeling on the southside of Kauai much better,then enjoyed coming back to Hale Makai.
The house lacked for nothing to help us enjoy our time. Plenty of room for our five adults in the three bedrooms.
Great time in Kauai

We love this house. The kitchen has a brita, spices, Kerrigan, coffee maker, and all the pots and pans you could want in your kitchen. The beach is great and not many people on this beach near the house. We didn't use the air conditioning in the master as the night were perfect with the windows open. Rocky the beautiful lab from next dog was a welcome treat. She is a gentle dog that loved pets and treats. The only complaint was the grill was a challenge.
Amazing house on our favorite bay!

This house is so well-equipped. Everything is tastefully done and in great working order. We absolutely loved our week there. Just a gorgeous location for beach walks and visits to Anahola Beach Park. And it's easy to get to the North Shore or the South Shore from this easterly location. Very quiet and untouristy. Minimal ambient light makes for great stargazing. Just a great spot and house!

Stayed with our 3 young kids, grandparents, and sister. Beautiful ocean wave scene to gaze on. Little kid friendly beach areas walking distance away. Can hear ocean from all rooms. Wonderful porch. Quiet street. Sticking distance to Kapaa one way and north shore attractions the other. Highly recommend.
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.
