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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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!

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!

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.

This was our second stay at Hale Makai and it was just as wonderful the second time around. We love the privacy of the location. We hardly ever see anyone on the beach in front of our house. The house itself is immaculately maintained and beautifully furnished. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. And the house is perfectly located, making it really easy to visit other places on the island. We can’t wait to come back!

The house was great, just what we were expecting and just what we needed! Easy to get to, private, and well appointed. Town/Eateries are only 10 minutes away, and there's a little store just nearby. There was plenty of space for our group, and the a/c and outdoor shower were nice to have! The beach is about 15 steps from the lanai, so if you're looking to just check in and then check out from the world, this is the place to do that. I did get many emails from the property management company, so while I appreciate the proactive communication, it felt like a lot! But if that's a negative, then I'm reaching and I don't know why. Point is, I would have moved in and sat in those Adirondack chairs overlooking the ocean for the rest of my days, but life, am I right? If you're considering this house, just book it! You won't regret it.

We pinched ourselves the whole time we stayed at this place. It was incredible. It was only 15 minutes from Kapaa, but when we were there it felt secluded and peaceful. The beds were comfy, it had every amenity we could ask for, and the private beach was a dream. There was tons of space around the property to wander and my husband was obsessed with the outdoor shower. We will definitely be coming back again.

We loved our stay in Anahola. The house was very well appointed with lovely furniture, quality linens, and comfy beds. The space and layout was perfect for our family - 3 adults and 1 toddler. It could easily accommodate 2 couples and 2 kids. Having beach access was such a treat. The surf was nice and calm in the mornings, which made for lovely swims; in the afternoon, the waves got quite a bit choppier. While the beach was fairly narrow right outside the house, it was a short walk along the bay to get to a wider beach and the river mouth, which was perfect for our toddler to splash around and play in. We made daily trips to Whalers for poke and the Kalalea juice stand, and it was a quick drive to get to Kapaa for coffee and groceries. We grilled, ate outside, and watched sunrises and sunsets. For a chill time on the East Side, I couldn't recommend this place more!

Would like to stay again.

From the moment we stepped in the front door, we felt relaxed and at peace. The house was lovely. It was great that the house supplied many amenities. The resident pets (chickens) were fun to watch. The location of the house was in a quiet neighborhood which made it enjoyable to just sit on the beach. One suggestion would be to trim the shrubs on the dune so that you can see over them while sitting in the chairs.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
We would definitely consider renting this house again!

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.

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!

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

Aloha and Mahalo for your review! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the location of the home, vintage ukuleles, and decorative touches. The BBQ grill provided is a standard size BBQ grill.

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.

We love this house and it’s fabulous location on Anahola Bay. The house is wonderful—well-equipped, impeccably clean, and all around comfortable. We’re already planning to come back again next year. This quiet beautiful bay is our favorite Kauai spot.

First, I want to thank the Strickland family for helping to make our vacation so memorable. We had some issues with the wifi and grill and they were so quick to remedy both. The house itself is incredible. It was very comfortable for myself, parents and brother, was so well supplied with amenities throughout the house and also anything you could think of needing for the beach (chairs, shoes, boogie boards, etc). It is also perfectly situated to explore all parts of the island and is in a quiet neighborhood where you can relax after a fun-filled day exploring. If we ever make it back to Kauai we would love to stay here again.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

The Cliffs was the first location for our stay in Kauai and we absolutely loved it! Everything from booking the unit to check out was seamless. The front desk were so kind and welcoming, and the amenities were our favorite part (especially the gym). The room itself was so spacious for me and my husband and it was very clean with everything we needed for our stay. We were a 2 minute walk away from the view of the ocean and it was so nice to be able to bring our coffee, walk during sunrise and just sit on the lawn chairs to look out at the sea. What won me over was the excellent communication with the property managers. They were all so kind and always responded to our emails so quickly if we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely be keeping this place on our list of places to stay when we come back to Kauai!

We were greeted with a pleasant staff on our check-in. We checked in at night, around 6:30PM I believe. The place was tidy when we got there, but I instantly noticed an odor; kind of a body odor smell as I opened the door, but it went away on day 2. I appreciate how they had ice trays, beach chairs, and a cooler available for use. They have coffee, toiletries, and a washer/dryer unit with some laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The vibe is very Hawaii too, which my fiancé and I loved. The area is so peaceful and quiet.

By day 3, we noticed a lot of flies coming from the bathroom. We did not use the bathroom trash bin as it was underneat the sink the whole time. We also did not keep anything perishable in the rental. From night 3 to night 5 and the morning we left, we were trying to kill flies because there were a lot of them. We noticed they came from the tiny holes of the bathroom light. We reported it to the receptionist. She said the maggots might have already been there before we came. I wouldve given 5 stars for everything if not for those flies. A few is okay, but it was around 30-40 flies that we killed.

The price was so good on this unit, I had to phone the property agency prior to booking just to make sure it wasn't a scam.

When we checked in there I was still half expecting that the unit would be a disappointment or we wouldn't have access to all the resort's amenities or that there would be some other "catch."

But let me tell you, if you too are wondering all these things rest assured: you are getting the best value on Kauai in this condo. The unit was clean, HUGE (as big as our 3 bedroom house back home), gave you access to an outstanding swimming pool (plus tennis, BBQs...), and was close to all the amenities of the North side of Kauai.

The unit could probably use a new coat of paint and some carpentry work, but if the owners did that then they would no longer be charging only $100 bucks a night right?

Terrific property in a private feeling area but close enough to stores and beaches. Clean condos with everything you need to feel at home so you can stay in for dinner or have a relaxing rainy day on. Friendly staff and no longer list of things you have to do before checking out like other condo rentals, helps prolong the vacation.

This is a beautiful home, very spacious (large bedroom, spacious living room/dining area, 2 bathrooms, good sized kitchen, 2 lanais) with all the amenities we wanted. We could easily have shared this space with another couple, or a family could stay there easily as well. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was very handy... especially the dryer for when towels didn't air dry by the time we wanted to use them again. The kitchen had extras that we needed... (salt/pepper, cooking oil... it's those little things that are so helpful to travelers). The views from either lanai aren't that thrilling but not necessarily bad either. We enjoyed eating out on the lanai with the table and watching the beautiful cardinals and other birds visit. The pool was much closer than it looked on the map... very convenient... and one evening a farmer was there selling a few items, another evening a food truck was there. Everyone was pleasant. Our time in your spacious home was very relaxing, and our time in Princeville and surrounding areas made for a great vacation.

All and all an ok experience. Condo was clean and roomy. Have some criticism. The screen doors don’t lock, and there were no coffee filters.
The worst was the people who run the place. The people look like a club that no one supervises nor do they care about the guests staying there. On 9/29/21 we had a bunch of kids screaming on the lawn at building 3, called the front desk who said the’d send someone over.... and never did. The worst was on 9/30/21 we were at the pool and someone who worked there allowed a dark gray Ford F150 with 5 screaming kids to abuse the pool and playground for hours. The kids were to pull up with screaming abusing the pool, climbing all over the rocks etc and then continued the same behavior at the playground. Then they packed up in the Ford truck and drove away. Every guest at the pool were angry at the because all of us knew they were not guest staying at this facility. Whoever was in charge that day at the desk needs to be fired.

It's a great place to stay!

Our 11 day stay in July in Princeville was great. The condo was clean and fresh and had everything we possibly could have needed. I loved that, because it was a second floor end unit, the lanai outside the kitchen/living room was so open and we got a nice breeze all the time and also a bit of morning sun and a bit of sunset also! We spent most of our time out there when we were home. The pool & hot tub options were nice and there were lots of other things that we didn't take advantage of because we were busy visiting family. I'd love to stay there again!!!

I liked our stay for the most part. The people working there were helpful and friendly all the time! For future stays on Kauai, however, I'll be staying somewhere else. The reasons are, that there's no restaurants, stores or beaches within walking distance. I love to just park the car and walk on vacations. We had to drive EVERYWHERE! The beaches were in Hanalei. Or park on a cliff and walk down trails, if you can find parking. There was also a lack of restaurants in the area. EVERYTHING nearby had long wait times for a table, breakfast, lunch and dinner. That got old quick. There was a food truck that comes to the property making pizza. They were mobbed by hungry Cliffs guests! This property would be perfect if it had a restaurant and/ or a store. It's just too far away from food necessities.

Whole family of 3 was pleased with this accommodation. Having a kitchen was totally worth it, even though we hardly did any proper cooking; fresh fruit and raw tuna proved a perfectly adequate diet. The place is equipped better than advertised, e.g. you get an email reminder to bring your own shampoo, but it is actually provided. Take a look in the living room drawers; you will find plenty of useful objects. The space is generous and well laid out. If you feel spatially restricted in your own home, then it is important that your vacation provide a break from that, and this place certainly does. If there is one thing the landlord could improve, it is the sleeping arrangement. The king mattress was mediocre in terms of comfort, and the sofa bed in the living room, while usable, does not come with sheets (though you can get them from housekeeping) and I found it not as good as sleeping on the floor. Drafts are rather strong on the windward side of the island, and the sliding balcony doors don't form a perfect seal, resulting in a bit of nighttime noise, but we did not find it a problem.

We love it at the cliffs, they have a great pool, the units are well laid out and the community is quiet. Just what you need after a long day of exploring! The unit is spacious and comfortable with every amenity we needed for cooking meals. We would definitely stay here again, the beach equipment was a nice plus as well!

The office conierge were very welcoming and available every time we stopped in the office which was in the building next to our condo. The rec center, pickleball courts and swimming pool were directly across the street, but we could never hear the noise from either place.
We had a very quiet condo with everything we needed in the kitchen, bedroom, and bathrooms. There were 2 huge TVs's that were easy to navigate. There were several cooling fans that we used in the evenings for sleeping.

We loved staying at this unit!

We loved staying at this unit at the Cliffs. The unit was bright, peaceful, had nice trade winds and a beautiful garden view. Plus we love The Cliffs for all its amenities (pool, gym, courts, filtered water dispenser, and reception team). Cliffs also has fun daily programming like pizza truck, free mai tai night, Taco Tuesday’s etc. Unit is on second floor and gets very nice light. There are black out and sheer drapes in bedroom as well. Garden Island Properties is top notch and we love them. Kind, responsive & knowledgeable about all Kauai has to offer. Great team. We highly recommend this unit and the Cliffs.

This place was cute and in a great location. The photos on the listing are so much brighter than in person so it had a different feel and it’s definitely outdated but overall in good shape. There is no AC which we were aware of but we couldn’t have the shades and windows open fully because you can see inside the unity from the parking lot. Basically if you want privacy in the bedroom you need to have the shades closed and therefore limiting the airflow from the window to keep cool. Other than that the amenities and views on the property were great and loved the Princeville area!

The gym is not a gym but just a little fitness room with two treadmills, one elliptical and a sit bike and some dumbbells. If you need good gym with pull up bar and a bit more area you may go 10-15 min to the outdoor fitness area free to use on pipelani loop close to Princeville center.

We were greeted with a pleasant staff on our check-in. We checked in at night, around 6:30PM I believe. The place was tidy when we got there, but I instantly noticed an odor; kind of a body odor smell as I opened the door, but it went away on day 2. I appreciate how they had ice trays, beach chairs, and a cooler available for use. They have coffee, toiletries, and a washer/dryer unit with some laundry detergent and dryer sheets. The vibe is very Hawaii too, which my fiancé and I loved. The area is so peaceful and quiet.

By day 3, we noticed a lot of flies coming from the bathroom. We did not use the bathroom trash bin as it was underneat the sink the whole time. We also did not keep anything perishable in the rental. From night 3 to night 5 and the morning we left, we were trying to kill flies because there were a lot of them. We noticed they came from the tiny holes of the bathroom light. We reported it to the receptionist. She said the maggots might have already been there before we came. I wouldve given 5 stars for everything if not for those flies. A few is okay, but it was around 30-40 flies that we killed.

Manager's Response

Mahalo for your review. We are glad to hear you overall enjoyed your stay at the Cliffs Resort #3201. We are sorry to hear of the fly situation during your stay. Thank you again for staying with us and happy to hear you would recommend us to others! Aloha, Garden Island Properties

I liked our stay for the most part. The people working there were helpful and friendly all the time! For future stays on Kauai, however, I'll be staying somewhere else. The reasons are, that there's no restaurants, stores or beaches within walking distance. I love to just park the car and walk on vacations. We had to drive EVERYWHERE! The beaches were in Hanalei. Or park on a cliff and walk down trails, if you can find parking. There was also a lack of restaurants in the area. EVERYTHING nearby had long wait times for a table, breakfast, lunch and dinner. That got old quick. There was a food truck that comes to the property making pizza. They were mobbed by hungry Cliffs guests! This property would be perfect if it had a restaurant and/ or a store. It's just too far away from food necessities.

Manager's Response

Aloha Marla Elizabeth, Thank you for your stay with us. The Princeville area is located on a bluff.

Our 11 day stay in July in Princeville was great. The condo was clean and fresh and had everything we possibly could have needed. I loved that, because it was a second floor end unit, the lanai outside the kitchen/living room was so open and we got a nice breeze all the time and also a bit of morning sun and a bit of sunset also! We spent most of our time out there when we were home. The pool & hot tub options were nice and there were lots of other things that we didn't take advantage of because we were busy visiting family. I'd love to stay there again!!!

The Cliffs was a beautiful and well maintained property. We felt extremely safe and the location was close to everything we needed! The condo was comfortable but a little bit dated. The bed was so comfortable and I slept so good every night! I was a little disappointed with the desk staff of the Cliffs, I needed another Tide laundry soap and the lady gave me a hard time about getting it that’s my only complaint!

All and all an ok experience. Condo was clean and roomy. Have some criticism. The screen doors don’t lock, and there were no coffee filters.
The worst was the people who run the place. The people look like a club that no one supervises nor do they care about the guests staying there. On 9/29/21 we had a bunch of kids screaming on the lawn at building 3, called the front desk who said the’d send someone over.... and never did. The worst was on 9/30/21 we were at the pool and someone who worked there allowed a dark gray Ford F150 with 5 screaming kids to abuse the pool and playground for hours. The kids were to pull up with screaming abusing the pool, climbing all over the rocks etc and then continued the same behavior at the playground. Then they packed up in the Ford truck and drove away. Every guest at the pool were angry at the because all of us knew they were not guest staying at this facility. Whoever was in charge that day at the desk needs to be fired.

The Cliffs was the first location for our stay in Kauai and we absolutely loved it! Everything from booking the unit to check out was seamless. The front desk were so kind and welcoming, and the amenities were our favorite part (especially the gym). The room itself was so spacious for me and my husband and it was very clean with everything we needed for our stay. We were a 2 minute walk away from the view of the ocean and it was so nice to be able to bring our coffee, walk during sunrise and just sit on the lawn chairs to look out at the sea. What won me over was the excellent communication with the property managers. They were all so kind and always responded to our emails so quickly if we had any questions or concerns. We will definitely be keeping this place on our list of places to stay when we come back to Kauai!

Whole family of 3 was pleased with this accommodation. Having a kitchen was totally worth it, even though we hardly did any proper cooking; fresh fruit and raw tuna proved a perfectly adequate diet. The place is equipped better than advertised, e.g. you get an email reminder to bring your own shampoo, but it is actually provided. Take a look in the living room drawers; you will find plenty of useful objects. The space is generous and well laid out. If you feel spatially restricted in your own home, then it is important that your vacation provide a break from that, and this place certainly does. If there is one thing the landlord could improve, it is the sleeping arrangement. The king mattress was mediocre in terms of comfort, and the sofa bed in the living room, while usable, does not come with sheets (though you can get them from housekeeping) and I found it not as good as sleeping on the floor. Drafts are rather strong on the windward side of the island, and the sliding balcony doors don't form a perfect seal, resulting in a bit of nighttime noise, but we did not find it a problem.

Manager's Response

Aloha Peter and mahalo for your review. We are glad that you were pleased with the accommodation and space of the condo. The resort does provide a starter set of bath amenities upon arrival. The standard set up for the sofa bed would include sheets already made up and the pillows and blanket stores in the bedroom closet. We apologize for the oversight, however we are glad that housekeeping was able to provide them when reporting it. We appreciate your feedback as all housekeeping and maintenance issues are addressed at the time they are reported. We do hope that you will be back to visit again.

We would stay here again. We gave a 4 for location just because it was hard to find spots to see the ocean but we didn't try very hard.

This is a beautiful home, very spacious (large bedroom, spacious living room/dining area, 2 bathrooms, good sized kitchen, 2 lanais) with all the amenities we wanted. We could easily have shared this space with another couple, or a family could stay there easily as well. Having a washer/dryer in the unit was very handy... especially the dryer for when towels didn't air dry by the time we wanted to use them again. The kitchen had extras that we needed... (salt/pepper, cooking oil... it's those little things that are so helpful to travelers). The views from either lanai aren't that thrilling but not necessarily bad either. We enjoyed eating out on the lanai with the table and watching the beautiful cardinals and other birds visit. The pool was much closer than it looked on the map... very convenient... and one evening a farmer was there selling a few items, another evening a food truck was there. Everyone was pleasant. Our time in your spacious home was very relaxing, and our time in Princeville and surrounding areas made for a great vacation.

The price was so good on this unit, I had to phone the property agency prior to booking just to make sure it wasn't a scam.

When we checked in there I was still half expecting that the unit would be a disappointment or we wouldn't have access to all the resort's amenities or that there would be some other "catch."

But let me tell you, if you too are wondering all these things rest assured: you are getting the best value on Kauai in this condo. The unit was clean, HUGE (as big as our 3 bedroom house back home), gave you access to an outstanding swimming pool (plus tennis, BBQs...), and was close to all the amenities of the North side of Kauai.

The unit could probably use a new coat of paint and some carpentry work, but if the owners did that then they would no longer be charging only $100 bucks a night right?

The unit was in decent shape, but we discovered several things that were dirty - such as dirty dishes that were placed in the cupboards. There were visible dust bunnies on the floor in the living room when we arrived, and there was a reddish brown substance that looked like dried blood on the living room curtains as well as the guest bathroom door and wall.
The tall cylinder tower fan was filthy and left dust bunnies everywhere when used or moved.
The cross winds do not push through the unit as was advertised, so the entire stay was uncomfortably warm, with the provided fans not able to move enough air.
Overall the unit was fine but could benefit from better attention to detail on cleaning as well as improved fans to keep guests comfortable. We will not return to this unit.

It was so comfortable and relaxing for our mornings and for our post-adventure recovery time. And we all slept so well. The backyard was a perfect place to have a few moments of additional serenity. The kitchen suited our needs. The air mattress, coolers, and beach chairs were so helpful to have as well. Our kids loved the experience of staying in this peaceful condo just as much as the adults. The location, amenities, and environment were perfect for us.

This unit (Ali'i Kai II, 12D) is in a quiet, end of the road location in Princeville. It is a very short drive to Hanalei, Anini Beach, and Kilauea. The condo itself is situated in such a way that you have a perfectly stunning view of the sunset from your lanai every evening. It had a well stocked kitchen with plenty of place settings, silverware, and cooking utensils, including a spice rack. Also appreciated the large Tommy Bahama umbrella, beach chairs, and a family-sized cooler to take our lunches to the beach. The kids loved being located close to the pool for late night swims after being at the beach all day.

There is even a filtered water dispenser in the swimming pool area with really nice water. Location was great, short walk to the cliffs overlooking the ocean, and the view from the patio of the mountains were so nice to wake up to and enjoy at sunset. Very quiet inside the condo.

Very nice grounds, excellent common pool/spa/ (2) BBQ's area. Easy to find unit. It was a downstairs end unit, easy to get in & out, but could hear neighbor above us walk around, and roosters crow under your window waking you up early, anytime between 3 am-5am and all day. Bring earplugs, they really help! Unit itself nice, but bathrooms very small. Great water pressure on showers, and showered was tall enough for me (5'10" tall). Ceiling fan in the bedroom (closest to parking lot side) needs to be reinstalled with a heavy duty reinforcement. Sons said it was wobbling so bad when they tried using it it might fall down, plus they were all hung low throughout unit, obviously because ceilings are low in unit.
The window screens are gappy on edges, contributing to our mosquito bites. Many small and a couple of medium size roaches scurrying in kitchen. Quite a few live in dishwasher during our stay. Spotted two very cute gecko or anole lizards in kitchen and bedroom, which are probably eating some of the roach babies. Couple of large spiders got in through window too. Overall liked the unit, but please re-screen your windows. The sliding screen doors in living room also let in mosquitos, poor seal on outer sides. If I stayed at this property again, I would insist on a 2nd floor unit to get better views of ocean off to right. The view downstairs of mountains off to far left was good. All the tropical birds friendly. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

The area itself is very beautiful--the grounds are well-kept and nice; you can see the ocean and the mountains from the back yard and hear the waves crashing against the cliffs just below where the condo is located; there is a path nearby leading down to Queen's bath; close proximity to dining, quaint shops, the grocery store and, of course, the beach and hiking. Great location! We try to stay in Princeville when we come to Kauai.
The condo was fairly nice. It needs some upgrades for sure in the bathrooms and kitchen area (although it had newer appliances in the kitchen)--cabinets and flooring were old. The kitchen lacked a lot in terms of baking supplies and equipment (No flour, sugar, oil, plastic storage bags, alum foil, baking pans, pizza pan, etc... It does have salt, pepper, and some spices and some old, warped pots and pans). The placed smelled old and a little musty, but it was clean when we arrived. The beds were pretty comfy (my husband likes a firmer bed, so he didn't sleep as well because the softness hurt his back).
We did have a few encounters with large centipedes and killed a couple of them. One crawled over my son's face while he slept in the living room. Nothing you can really do about critters, but just keep a look out!
Overall, the place itself wasn't anything fancy, but the price was decent and the location was great. If you just plan on eating and sleeping here, it's good enough.

My favorite stay.

Our rental was located in Princeville. If you're going to spend a lot of time on the north part of the island, this is perfect. If you're wanting to drive down to the south side of the island a lot of the time, this is a longer drive and kinda out of the way. It's pretty common to not have an air-conditioner here in Hawaii. The breeze is very cool and nice in the fall, winter, and spring months. However, in the summer it gets a little warm indoors. That is my only complaint. I think the ceiling fans need to be a little more powerful to move the air around. We had all the windows open/fans going...but the fans didn't help push around the air much. We were gone most of the day but it got pretty hot trying to get ready to go out for dinner. Overall, the stay here was great. The kitchen had everything we needed, the washer/dryer worked well, and the beds were comfortable. The view was also fantastic! We didn't spend much time hanging out at the rental but the view was amazing in the mornings and evenings. Also, if you have a child that needs a little entertainment for the mornings/nights, they have several kid movies, a dvd player, and a tv. It was a pretty quiet stay too. I didn't hear any loud noises or music from the neighbors. We do plan on coming back to Kauai and I would rent from them again! It met our needs and it was a reasonable price.

I especially loved the beautiful and lively bird songs at 5:30 every morning. I loved to sit on the back patio and listen to them.
The location was great to explore the north side of the island. We had to plan our travels around road closures, as the highway was closed from 7:45 to 2:30pm every day to repair damage from a mud slide.
We used the beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided at the condo.

The apartment managers were very helpful and helped us understand Hawaii covid management rules and told us how to prepare for the screening at the airport. They were also very responsive when I ask them ( Sarah) a question.
The parking lot is large and parking was very easy and safe.

The condo was clean. The beds were comfortable. The mattress has a neutral firmness. Not too hard or soft. Great choice for a vacation rental. The second bed and bath can be closed off with the pocket door, creating a second master suite. My son enjoyed having his own area.
The kitchen had all the essentials. Plenty of utensils, dishes, pots and pans for even a lengthy stay.

The only thing I will say, is that if it is your first time to Kauai, Princeville itself is quite far from all the main attractions. It took us 45mins at least every day to drive out to where we needed to go.

The location and facilities were great. We were rather disappointed when we entered the unit and found one king bed, one queen, a couch (NOT A SOFA SLEEPER), and an air mattress. Since it is advertised as “sleeps 4-6 persons” I was expecting at least 3 actual beds and possibly a sofa sleeper. The unit itself was fair, needs to be remodeled/updated. It was clean and served its purpose. If I see this unit while looking for a rental on my next visit to Kauai, I won’t rent it again.
Manager response on 2019-08-08 - Response from Garden Island Properties LLC
Thank you for your review. On our advertisements for this unit, we do specify it being only a 2 bedroom AND as having a queen bed with a twin or king conversion and an air bed. We do not advertise this unit as having a sofa/sleeper. We are sorry if you misread what this unit is supplied with but in no way are we trying to mislead anyone. We are glad you found the unit clean and liked the location. Mahalo from Garden Island Properties.

We loved staying in Kanani’s place! So beautiful. The moment you walk in you’ll feel right at home. We loved the amenities beach chairs, towels, coolers, umbrella, utensils, plates, cooking ware, even containers to put our fresh sliced fruits in! There’s no AC and I thought that it would be a problem but just open up a window and turn the fans on and you’ll be alright. The lanai is especially beautiful and peaceful place to be in the morning. We drink and eat our breakfast in the lanai while listening roosters, nene’s and the beautiful surrounding. I loved seeing the mother chicken with her chicks walking along side the grass and trees. This is located on the north shore and very close to foodland and the shops there and close to northside beaches. Kauai is beautiful but the northside is just out of this world-only 15 mins to our favorite town-hanalei. I can’t stop thinking about our time in Kauai. You will love staying here.snorkeling gear are not included but you can rent in hanalei.

We really enjoyed our stay at the property, especially the grass area in front of the patio. My kid was able to run around there safely. We also enjoyed the kitchen with fully stocked kitchenware. We felt we were at home. We used the pool in the community almost everyday. There are a few calm beaches nearby that we really enjoyed. The local grocery store is nearby, there are restaurants and cute shops. Overall this is a very nice location and well maintained community and property. There’s no A/C, so it does get hot, but there are ceiling fans, and portable fans. We also used the curtain to block the sunlight to keep the room cool. When we could not stand the heat, we’d go to the pool. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you.

The unit was in decent shape, but we discovered several things that were dirty - such as dirty dishes that were placed in the cupboards. There were visible dust bunnies on the floor in the living room when we arrived, and there was a reddish brown substance that looked like dried blood on the living room curtains as well as the guest bathroom door and wall.
The tall cylinder tower fan was filthy and left dust bunnies everywhere when used or moved.
The cross winds do not push through the unit as was advertised, so the entire stay was uncomfortably warm, with the provided fans not able to move enough air.
Overall the unit was fine but could benefit from better attention to detail on cleaning as well as improved fans to keep guests comfortable. We will not return to this unit.

Manager's Response

Aloha Bryant, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the cleanliness was not up to your standards. We have shared your comments with our housekeeping team to address accordingly The design of the property allows for a pleasant cross-breeze when the doors and windows are opened. For guests coming from drier climates, it can take a bit of time to adjust to the tropical climate and humidity. We provide both ceiling fans and portable fans for added comfort.

There is even a filtered water dispenser in the swimming pool area with really nice water. Location was great, short walk to the cliffs overlooking the ocean, and the view from the patio of the mountains were so nice to wake up to and enjoy at sunset. Very quiet inside the condo. There were people above us but we never heard them walking around. Just a lovely experience. Thank you so much!

We loved our stay here, and would definitely stay again. The kitchen was fully stocked with lots of pots/pans, utensils, dinnerware, and spices. The lanai is peaceful to sit at all hours of the day with the view overlooking the ocean, gardens, valley, and sunset. The chickens, roosters, and nene's keep you company when you are on the lanai but appear to have been fed in the past. I would recommend not eating on the lanai if the animals are neaby, the nene bit me as he wanted my food and I would not give him any. We used the beach towels and chairs. There are also coolers and umbrellas available to use. Kanani and Sarah, co-host, are very responsive. The neighborhood is quiet and safe with walking trails nearby. Grocery store and food options nearby. Washing machine in unit. No air conditioner but the place had ceiling fans and portable fans which worked well. There is a nearby pool with hot tub. We would definitely look at renting this spot again!

This unit (Ali'i Kai II, 12D) is in a quiet, end of the road location in Princeville. It is a very short drive to Hanalei, Anini Beach, and Kilauea. The condo itself is situated in such a way that you have a perfectly stunning view of the sunset from your lanai every evening. It had a well stocked kitchen with plenty of place settings, silverware, and cooking utensils, including a spice rack. Also appreciated the large Tommy Bahama umbrella, beach chairs, and a family-sized cooler to take our lunches to the beach. The kids loved being located close to the pool for late night swims after being at the beach all day.

Best feature is the large glass patio doors that open to a large field with views of mountain and even partial views of ocean afar. My son enjoyed the nene family that would visit our door throughout the day.
The pool and jacuzzi are a good size and well maintained. I also appreciate the free filtered watered and ice available at poolside. The condo itself is a little dated in decor but still lovely. Also, in Kauai it is a must to have indoor washer/dryer.

The only thing I will say, is that if it is your first time to Kauai, Princeville itself is quite far from all the main attractions. It took us 45mins at least every day to drive out to where we needed to go.

We stayed at Ali'i Kai for 9 days. Our stay was relaxing. The view was amazing! The area was quiet (except for the morning wakeup calls from the roosters) and peaceful. There was a nene (ancestor of the Canadian goose) that came up to the porch every morning to say hello.
The condo was clean. The beds were comfortable. The mattress has a neutral firmness. Not too hard or soft. Great choice for a vacation rental. The second bed and bath can be closed off with the pocket door, creating a second master suite. My son enjoyed having his own area.
The kitchen had all the essentials. Plenty of utensils, dishes, pots and pans for even a lengthy stay.
The dishwasher and washer/dryer were welcome luxuries. The beach umbrella, chairs, towels, and coolers made beach days even better and more relaxing.

Our stay at Alii Kai condominium was were comfortable. The condo was equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and living and bedroom were comfortable and clean. I especially loved the beautiful and lively bird songs at 5:30 every morning. I loved to sit on the back patio and listen to them.
The location was great to explore the north side of the island. We had to plan our travels around road closures, as the highway was closed from 7:45 to 2:30pm every day to repair damage from a mud slide.
We used the beach chairs, towels and umbrella provided at the condo.

The apartment managers were very helpful and helped us understand Hawaii covid management rules and told us how to prepare for the screening at the airport. They were also very responsive when I ask them ( Sarah) a question.
The parking lot is large and parking was very easy and safe.
I would definitely stay here again!

This is a new condo for us in the Ali’i Kai 11 complex. It is on the ground floor so easy to access but lost a bit in the view. However the view is lovely as are the grounds, pool, hot tub and easy parking. The inerior was spotless, nicely furnished except for needing new mattresses in both rooms. The kitchen was will stocked including matching dish ware, not always the case in rentals. Lots of nice beach towels and some beach equipment.. I would love to stay here again.

Rented this condo for 4 adults and 2 kids (6-7 years old). Enough space for all of us. Air matress confortable for kids. Staff of Garden Island very helpful. Condo well equiped.
Great condo, great view.
Location: Took us 25-30 by walk to the beach (Hideaway Beach, Queen's Bath) to Princeville shopping center and nearest bus stop.
Pool is clean and beautiful. BBQ well maintened.
As we are in nature, some insects in the kitchen (gecko and small cockroaches).
The kitchen would need a little refreshement.

Our rental was located in Princeville. If you're going to spend a lot of time on the north part of the island, this is perfect. If you're wanting to drive down to the south side of the island a lot of the time, this is a longer drive and kinda out of the way. It's pretty common to not have an air-conditioner here in Hawaii. The breeze is very cool and nice in the fall, winter, and spring months. However, in the summer it gets a little warm indoors. That is my only complaint. I think the ceiling fans need to be a little more powerful to move the air around. We had all the windows open/fans going...but the fans didn't help push around the air much. We were gone most of the day but it got pretty hot trying to get ready to go out for dinner. Overall, the stay here was great. The kitchen had everything we needed, the washer/dryer worked well, and the beds were comfortable. The view was also fantastic! We didn't spend much time hanging out at the rental but the view was amazing in the mornings and evenings. Also, if you have a child that needs a little entertainment for the mornings/nights, they have several kid movies, a dvd player, and a tv. It was a pretty quiet stay too. I didn't hear any loud noises or music from the neighbors. We do plan on coming back to Kauai and I would rent from them again! It met our needs and it was a reasonable price.

The area itself is very beautiful--the grounds are well-kept and nice; you can see the ocean and the mountains from the back yard and hear the waves crashing against the cliffs just below where the condo is located; there is a path nearby leading down to Queen's bath; close proximity to dining, quaint shops, the grocery store and, of course, the beach and hiking. Great location! We try to stay in Princeville when we come to Kauai.
The condo was fairly nice. It needs some upgrades for sure in the bathrooms and kitchen area (although it had newer appliances in the kitchen)--cabinets and flooring were old. The kitchen lacked a lot in terms of baking supplies and equipment (No flour, sugar, oil, plastic storage bags, alum foil, baking pans, pizza pan, etc... It does have salt, pepper, and some spices and some old, warped pots and pans). The placed smelled old and a little musty, but it was clean when we arrived. The beds were pretty comfy (my husband likes a firmer bed, so he didn't sleep as well because the softness hurt his back).
We did have a few encounters with large centipedes and killed a couple of them. One crawled over my son's face while he slept in the living room. Nothing you can really do about critters, but just keep a look out!
Overall, the place itself wasn't anything fancy, but the price was decent and the location was great. If you just plan on eating and sleeping here, it's good enough.

Very nice grounds, excellent common pool/spa/ (2) BBQ's area. Easy to find unit. It was a downstairs end unit, easy to get in & out, but could hear neighbor above us walk around, and roosters crow under your window waking you up early, anytime between 3 am-5am and all day. Bring earplugs, they really help! Unit itself nice, but bathrooms very small. Great water pressure on showers, and showered was tall enough for me (5'10" tall). Ceiling fan in the bedroom (closest to parking lot side) needs to be reinstalled with a heavy duty reinforcement. Sons said it was wobbling so bad when they tried using it it might fall down, plus they were all hung low throughout unit, obviously because ceilings are low in unit.
The window screens are gappy on edges, contributing to our mosquito bites. Many small and a couple of medium size roaches scurrying in kitchen. Quite a few live in dishwasher during our stay. Spotted two very cute gecko or anole lizards in kitchen and bedroom, which are probably eating some of the roach babies. Couple of large spiders got in through window too. Overall liked the unit, but please re-screen your windows. The sliding screen doors in living room also let in mosquitos, poor seal on outer sides. If I stayed at this property again, I would insist on a 2nd floor unit to get better views of ocean off to right. The view downstairs of mountains off to far left was good. All the tropical birds friendly. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

This small vintage home offers a bunch of welcoming island charm. It is in the perfect location on the island for daily adventures in both directions on the island. Easy access to the beach just a short walk down the road. Anahola Bay is beautiful and peaceful. We did wish the brush across the road was not there and we could have seen the beautiful ocean along with hearing it. The owner lives next door and was very kind and helpful regarding the construction that is happening in 2019, which was nothing of concern during our stay. We loved the old vintage charm of the home and would share only one piece of advice...the mattresses are VERY firm so be aware! This was a GREAT rental and the customer service was top notch, I highly recommend Garden Island Properties! Also, if you want a fun adventure during your stay, go to Koloa Ziplining, it was AWESOME! We have visited Kauai several times and this was one of our favorite things we have done.

We were able to make a fabulous smoothie in the morning and travel the island or stay at the beach and hang out with the waves. A fabulous place!

Enjoyed a wonderful 4 nights at this cottage, with it's fantastic quiet location on the beach! The cottage is very cute and was loaded with everything you need for your stay, including books, games, tons of beach gear. The front porch is a great place to relax, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the wall AC was appreciated! Communication with the Owner was great. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family!

We arrived slightly early without a hitch (besides the car rental) or a problem with owners, maybe an hour. The place was everything we wanted. Old, simplistic and well thought out. We appreciated the cleanliness and the hospitality from Greg and Sue. They really hosted a wonderful stay when the power went out the first night as well as the neighbors. They take care of the property meticulously and are friendly. I recommend and plan on going back if allowed by Greg and Sue. Through strugggles at the park, they continue to guide the brilliance they brought and are bringing to the neighborhood. FYI- It's literally a 20 second walk to the beach! WONDERFUL!
Thanks Again,

Our 25th anniversary getaway to this enchanting 2-bedroom Kauai retreat was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the charm and comfort of this cozy hideaway. The plush beds cradled us in luxurious sleep each night, and waking up to the gentle sounds of the ocean felt like a dream come true.
Cooking together in the well-stocked kitchen became a cherished part of our days, creating meals to savor at the dining table or under the stars on the front porch - each moment filled with love and laughter. The convenience of this home as a perfect midway point for exploring Kauai's diverse regions made our adventures effortless and unforgettable.
But what truly touched our hearts were the hosts, whose warmth and genuine care made us feel like family. Their local insights and hospitality added an extra layer of joy to our stay, creating memories we'll treasure forever. Stepping outside to the beach and fishing spots, feeling the sea air on our skin, and listening to the ocean waves lull us into relaxation - it was pure bliss.
Away from the tourist crowds, this hidden gem provided us with the peaceful sanctuary we needed to reconnect and celebrate our love. The authentic beauty of Kauai surrounded us, leaving us refreshed and renewed. We left a piece of our hearts in that little home and are already counting the days until we return to create more unforgettable moments in paradise. This place truly holds a special spot in our hearts, and we cannot recommend it enough for anyone seeking a soulful escape to the beauty of Kauai.

We loved our stay at the Hibiscus Hula Beach Cottage. After a couple of days in Waikiki, Anahola Beach was wonderfully uncrowded as well as beautiful. Because of the river, there was a calm area for the kids to swim in, and I liked playing and boogie boarding in the surf (be careful if you're not an experienced swimmer). We loved listening to the ocean waves at night.

From Anahola, we went to Hanalei a couple of days for the beach and kayaking, and we went to the south for water skiing, zip lining, a luau, and a Na Pali coast tour.

When we travel, we like to stay in apartments and houses so we have more space, we have a kitchen, and we don't have to eat every meal in a restaurant - especially breakfasts. It makes vacation much more relaxing. This house was a perfect example of how it should work.

If you have not been to Kauai before, be advised that the island is overrun with free roaming chickens. The roosters like to crow in the morning, so you might need earplugs if you're a light sleeper or like to sleep in.

The house is fully equipped and lovely. Very nice set up, kitchen, etc. The backyard is ideal for families and being able to walk across the beach so easily makes a world of ease for those early risers. We have stayed on the island many times before and this is the first time we experienced the annoying noises of the mud/dirt bikes that have loud engines. People ride them on the beach. And so there were many afternoons into the evening where we heard them non-stop. That was disappointing as it disrupted the peace and quiet. My sister stayed here before and it never happened so perhaps it was a fluke. Aside from the dirt bikes, everything was wonderful. Our son loved the gecko's and frogs. The yard is wonderful and so large with a wonderful view.

If you want a ncie simple beach cottage far from the madding condo crowd of overweight, lost midwesterners this is for you. Excellently furnished and run by the family operation of Aussie Greg and his charming Japanese Hawaiian wife Sue.

A beautiful, uncrowded beach is directly across from the cottage. The view is partially screened by vegetation but that is a plus in my view as it provides privacy. The only mnor cavil is that the locals use the beach for weekend cookouts and gatherings. It was not a big deal for us as it gave a feeling of authenticity. Those looking for a more airbrushed experience can join the lilywhites in condoville.

I also loved the wonderfully dark night skies we enjoyed just outside the cottage. The location is perfect. Quiet, close to a beautiful beach, and still not too far from any where else on the island. We would recommend this cottage with out hesitation to anyone heading to Kauai, as long as they are fine with stairs.

These were the best accommodations we have ever had in the last 50 years of visiting Kauai.
Absolutely nothing was lacking during our stay.
The setting was beautiful. The house was immaculate, inside and out. One of the best experiences we have had.
Along with all that, the constant communications with the management was suburb.
Couldn't have asked for anything more.

We loved our week ar Hibiscus Hula! The house is comfortable and has pretty much everything we needed. The location is great if you like to be away from the crowds and noise at a resort. The beach is right across the street (
If you swim there wear swim shoes because the rocky reef is close in to shore; I saw some snorkels there but I didn’t use The snorkel gear provided so I’m not sure if it’s good snorkeling). The only issue I had were the crowing roosters, they are all over, earplugs helped me sleep through it.
I really loved the location -the view of mountains from the back is gorgeous, and the peek of ocean from the front lovely. Not far up the road is Kilauea Point with gorgeous views, lighthouse, and bird nesting grounds (even Albatross!) and then further along is the north shore, stunning.
I would definitely come back and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

We loved staying at the Hibiscus Beach cottage. The location was perfect for exploring all parts of the island. The cottage is great for hanging out with the beach right there. Listening to the surf at night and the birds singing in the morning made for a very relaxing experience. The owner next door helped whenever we had some little detail needing taken care of and supplied us with a nice gift of limes from his place. The kitchen is very well equipped and we did a lot of eating right there. I highly recommend this place and hope to return sometime in the future.

We specifically picked this place because it was out of the way hoping it would allow us to immerse ourselves into Kauai life and we really enjoyed our 9 day stay at this little old place (we moved to the Waipouli Hotel in Kapa’a for the remainder of our trip to give the kids the pool experience). It’s a 50’s house on Kauai so, it’s quirky, but our kids 8 & 5 had a great time looking for lizards, geckos and toads (and chasing an occasional chicken in the spacious back yard). We were out most of the time and thus avoided being inside during warmer part of day, using AC for nights (but, we are from San Diego, so we are somewhat used to the heat anyway). We met our host Greg on the day of our arrival and he walked us through the basics which we appreciated. We found the outdoor shower and the inside shower “bay” VERY useful for handling two kids who would invariably get covered in sand/dirt from head to toe. The beach is across the street and behind a hedge, which we actually found helpful in keeping the 5 yo confined to the property, because the surf is pounding hard there and we wanted to avoid his unplanned beach excursions. The beach itself is ok for adults but, not good for very little kids who may get intimidated by the “big water”, if you drive to the other side (south) of the Anahola beach (closer to guard tower) you’ll be able to swim/snorkel, water is much calmer there (still, watch out for the Portuguese man-a-wars). We usually had breakfast at the house and cooked a few dinners, otherwise it was to-go snacks and lunches on the road, and there are plenty of places to eat in the nearby Kapa’a.

This cottage is the perfect place to explore Kauai from. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was picture perfect with the bay across the street and the mountains in the back. Kapaa, which is just down the road, had everything we needed as far as stores and restaurants. We loved Java Kai and Kountry Kitchen for breakfast! Should we be fortunate enough to visit Kauai in the future, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

It was that time of year again when my best friend and I were ready to check out of the world and get in some good chill Kauai time! We love staying where the locals live and were fortunate enough to discover this hidden gem in Anahola Bay! This beach house is cute and comfortable with all the amenities you will need to enjoy your time on the island. The kitchen is nice and large, greatly stocked with pots and other cooking gear and ready for cooking some fresh local Kauai fish, fruits & vegetables. The bedrooms are small, but cozy. The bathroom is also small, but if you’ve got 2-3 people max, it’s ok. We thought the indoor shower would be strange since it’s downstairs in the basement on its own, but actually we found it to be great with awesome water pressure! And then there’s the beach. It’s literally a 30 second walk to the beach – and a private one at that! We spent every single day in the water since it literally couldn’t have been easier, plus the outdoor shower at the cottage is perfect to rinse the sand out of all those hidden places after you get back. The view of the magical mountains from the backyard is enough to keep anyone interested and off their phones, TVs and other screens, and the 24 hr. roar of the ocean will leave you wanting to buy one of those sound machines for your bedroom since you won’t be able to imagine going back home and not having that amazing sound every day and night. For your groceries, 10 min up to Kilauea there is a health food market (overpriced, but quality) and 10 min down to Kapaa is a variety of restaurants and shopping. Our hosts Greg & Sue were lovely to deal with and all I can say is that we will definitely be back to the Hibiscus Hula Cottage as soon as possible!

The beach chairs, coolers and umbrellas were useful during our beach trips. We enjoyed cooking in the

Our 25th anniversary getaway to this enchanting 2-bedroom Kauai retreat was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by the charm and comfort of this cozy hideaway. The plush beds cradled us in luxurious sleep each night, and waking up to the gentle sounds of the ocean felt like a dream come true.
Cooking together in the well-stocked kitchen became a cherished part of our days, creating meals to savor at the dining table or under the stars on the front porch - each moment filled with love and laughter. The convenience of this home as a perfect midway point for exploring Kauai's diverse regions made our adventures effortless and unforgettable.
But what truly touched our hearts were the hosts, whose warmth and genuine care made us feel like family. Their local insights and hospitality added an extra layer of joy to our stay, creating memories we'll treasure forever. Stepping outside to the beach and fishing spots, feeling the sea air on our skin, and listening to the ocean waves lull us into relaxation - it was pure bliss.
Away from the tourist crowds, this hidden gem provided us with the peaceful sanctuary we needed to reconnect and celebrate our love. The authentic beauty of Kauai surrounded us, leaving us refreshed and renewed. We left a piece of our hearts in that little home and are already counting the days until we return to create more unforgettable moments in paradise. This place truly holds a special spot in our hearts, and we cannot recommend it enough for anyone seeking a soulful escape to the beauty of Kauai.

We had a great stay at this little cottage! It was a short walk to the beach and the neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. The location is ideal if you're interested in exploring different parts of the island on the same trip, as it's fairly centrally located between North Shore and South Shore. We enjoyed being able to drive to the busier parts of Kauai, while having a quiet spot to return to in the evenings. As a few other reviews mentioned, the bed and shower are both on the shorter side, I'm 6'1 and the shower head basically started at my chin. But it kind of added to the charm of the bungalow, and having such easy access to the beach certainly made up for any downsides.

This is the second time we’ve stayed here as a family, and it is such a special place for us. We woke up every morning and walked to the beach for sunrise and then were able to go to and from the house as our home base. I love how close it is to everything on the north side and the east/south side of the island. We’ll be back as long as they’ll have us.

This cottage is well equipped and beautifully decorated with Hawaiian quilt blocks and hibiscus artwork. The kitchen had all the pots and pans we needed to cook our meals. The downstairs shower is fun and we loved the artwork there as well It is great to be able to walk across the street to the beach. The only downside is that some nights there is noise from the beach campground. Overall this house was wonderful. A great place to get away. The owners were responsive and friendly and ready to help with suggestions of where to shop and what to visit.

If you're looking for a place to Kauai, stop your search, and book the Hibiscus Hula Cottage now. It is absolutely adorable, across from the beach, and has everything you need for your stay. The team was extremely communicative and kind. It was nice to be away from the touristy condos, yet it's located so close to all the best places to visit. It's a perfect home base to visit the North Shore, Western & Southern coasts, as well as Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Parks.

Very comfortable house just across the street the street and down the street from beach. Great swimming beach. House is on deadend street so little trafic. Note there are stairs to access the house and stairs to get to the shower in the basement. Half bath on main floor. Very livable setup for the price point. Owners live in the backyard, very friendly and helpful. Great view of mtns out back windows. Has AC in main room, but not in bedrooms. But, most nights we left the windows open and let the island breeze do its thing, very comfortable and great listening to the ocean accross the street. Has cookout area rt off garage behind house, we did not use, but nice area. Has beach towels, boogie board (we bought), couple umbrellas, beach mats, coolers in basement to use while there. Short walk to beach from house. Lots of closet space in house, kitchen well stocked. Mgt very accommodating for both check in and out.

We arrived slightly early without a hitch (besides the car rental) or a problem with owners, maybe an hour. The place was everything we wanted. Old, simplistic and well thought out. We appreciated the cleanliness and the hospitality from Greg and Sue. They really hosted a wonderful stay when the power went out the first night as well as the neighbors. They take care of the property meticulously and are friendly. I recommend and plan on going back if allowed by Greg and Sue. Through strugggles at the park, they continue to guide the brilliance they brought and are bringing to the neighborhood. FYI- It's literally a 20 second walk to the beach! WONDERFUL!

Felt like a local in this residential neighborhood, not touristy at all. The house was very clean and comfortable, excellent bedding and everything you would need in the kitchen. Towels, beach chairs and plenty of soap for your convenience. The owners live close by and are very nice and respectful. Great central location to a lot of other great beaches and shopping. Would definitely rent this place again.

Our second enjoyable stay at Hibiscus Hula. The location is convenient, and good except there was some night partying across the street at the beach park, including a shouting altercation which ended before the police arrived. Everything was spotless except for the gas grill. The cooking grate obviously had not been cleaned for a while and was covered with moldy, crusty grease which took some effort to clean and burn off. The kitchen is well equipped except it needs a knife sharpener. Lots of knives but all dull!

Manager's Response

Thank you so much for returning to Hibiscus Hula Beach Cottage! We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and do apologize for the gas grill which is normally checked before each arrival! This was our oversight. We would have been more than happy to assist you had we known. As for knife sharpeners, we do have at least one that may have perhaps been in a separate drawer. We are happy to report that we are awaiting the arrival of a new knife block set which was ordered before your review! We "mahalo" you again for returning to stay with us and we look forward to having you back! Aloha from Kaua'i, Garden Island Properties

We loved watching the sunrise every morning and spending the afternoon and evenings sitting on the front porch. The location is perfect, with Kapa'a nearby and Princeville/Hanalei not far away. The cottage is on a quiet dead end street just across from a wonderful beach. The owners are friendly and helpful and live just next door. We felt at home and look forward to spending another 3-4 weeks here next year.

Our stay at the Hibiscus Hula was so nice!! We stayed here for our last week on our honeymoon and it was the perfect opportunity to relax and spend quality time together. The view of the mountains behind the cottage was so nice! We felt like we were in a good location to explore the whole island. Our only issue was the first two nights, people camping on the beach played really loud music and set off fireworks really late at night and into the early morning. Other than that, we had a great stay!!!

Had a great trip to Kauai for our toddler's second birthday. We loved our stay here - he still asks me to "talk about the Hawaii house" :) The owners next door were very friendly, chatted with them daily and got some great local suggestions for food and beaches. Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood away from touristy areas, short walks across the street to the beach, view of the mountains from the kitchen, and relaxing on the porch. A/C was helpful on the hotter days. Would definitely stay here again.

The house had everything we needed to make homemade meals and the kitchen was spacious. The home is very safe and the yard is beautiful and well maintained. It was quite at night with just the sound of the ocean. The location was in the countryside yet you can drive to town in 20 minutes or less. Beach toys, coolers, plenty of towels, lounge chairs and a shade umbrella were also provided to make beach trips complete. We had so much fun and the beach is a hidden gem everyone loved.

Right across from the beach and you can hear the ocean all night. This year there were kids parking at the beach playing rap music with BIG, LOW bass lines, which probably carried for half a mile. On Saturday night at 12:15 I called the cops, and it stopped shortly thereafter. Don't understand why they're not all stone deaf. Hope this fad stops soon....

This small vintage home offers a bunch of welcoming island charm. It is in the perfect location on the island for daily adventures in both directions on the island. Easy access to the beach just a short walk down the road. Anahola Bay is beautiful and peaceful. We did wish the brush across the road was not there and we could have seen the beautiful ocean along with hearing it. The owner lives next door and was very kind and helpful regarding the construction that is happening in 2019, which was nothing of concern during our stay. We loved the old vintage charm of the home and would share only one piece of advice...the mattresses are VERY firm so be aware! This was a GREAT rental and the customer service was top notch, I highly recommend Garden Island Properties! Also, if you want a fun adventure during your stay, go to Koloa Ziplining, it was AWESOME!

Beautiful beach cottage steps from the beach. Gorgeous property with views of the sleeping giant from the huge back yard. Located off the beaten path perfect for a relaxing get away far from the hustle and bustle. You can walk to the beach and sit all day without seeing another person. Went with our family of four and it was perfect. Kids had an amazing time.

Aloha and thank you for choosing to stay at our Beach Cottage. We are happy to hear it was the perfect get away for you and your family. Please return again sometime soon! Mahalo, Garden Island Properties

We specifically picked this place because it was out of the way hoping it would allow us to immerse ourselves into Kauai life and we really enjoyed our 9 day stay at this little old place (we moved to the Waipouli Hotel in Kapa’a for the remainder of our trip to give the kids the pool experience). It’s a 50’s house on Kauai so, it’s quirky, but our kids 8 & 5 had a great time looking for lizards, geckos and toads (and chasing an occasional chicken in the spacious back yard). We were out most of the time and thus avoided being inside during warmer part of day, using AC for nights (but, we are from San Diego, so we are somewhat used to the heat anyway). We met our host Greg on the day of our arrival and he walked us through the basics which we appreciated. We found the outdoor shower and the inside shower “bay” VERY useful for handling two kids who would invariably get covered in sand/dirt from head to toe. The beach is across the street and behind a hedge, which we actually found helpful in keeping the 5 yo confined to the property, because the surf is pounding hard there and we wanted to avoid his unplanned beach excursions. The beach itself is ok for adults but, not good for very little kids who may get intimidated by the “big water”, if you drive to the other side (south) of the Anahola beach (closer to guard tower) you’ll be able to swim/snorkel, water is much calmer there (still, watch out for the Portuguese man-a-wars). We usually had breakfast at the house and cooked a few dinners, otherwise it was to-go snacks and lunches on the road, and there are plenty of places to eat in the nearby Kapa’a.

Manager's Response

Mahalo for your review. We are so glad to hear you and your "ohana" (family) enjoyed staying at the Hibiscus Hula Beach Cottage. The Anahola River just a few steps away from the beach is also very calm for the toddlers and children. Aloha from Garden Island Properties

It was that time of year again when my best friend and I were ready to check out of the world and get in some good chill Kauai time! We love staying where the locals live and were fortunate enough to discover this hidden gem in Anahola Bay! This beach house is cute and comfortable with all the amenities you will need to enjoy your time on the island. The kitchen is nice and large, greatly stocked with pots and other cooking gear and ready for cooking some fresh local Kauai fish, fruits & vegetables. The bedrooms are small, but cozy. The bathroom is also small, but if you’ve got 2-3 people max, it’s ok. We thought the indoor shower would be strange since it’s downstairs in the basement on its own, but actually we found it to be great with awesome water pressure! And then there’s the beach. It’s literally a 30 second walk to the beach – and a private one at that! We spent every single day in the water since it literally couldn’t have been easier, plus the outdoor shower at the cottage is perfect to rinse the sand out of all those hidden places after you get back. The view of the magical mountains from the backyard is enough to keep anyone interested and off their phones, TVs and other screens, and the 24 hr. roar of the ocean will leave you wanting to buy one of those sound machines for your bedroom since you won’t be able to imagine going back home and not having that amazing sound every day and night. For your groceries, 10 min up to Kilauea there is a health food market (overpriced, but quality) and 10 min down to Kapaa is a variety of restaurants and shopping. Our hosts Greg & Sue were lovely to deal with and all I can say is that we will definitely be back to the Hibiscus Hula Cottage as soon as possible!

This cottage is the perfect place to explore Kauai from. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was picture perfect with the bay across the street and the mountains in the back. Kapaa, which is just down the road, had everything we needed as far as stores and restaurants. We loved Java Kai and Kountry Kitchen for breakfast! Should we be fortunate enough to visit Kauai in the future, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

These were the best accommodations we have ever had in the last 50 years of visiting Kauai.
Absolutely nothing was lacking during our stay.
The setting was beautiful. The house was immaculate, inside and out. One of the best experiences we have had.
Along with all that, the constant communications with the management was suburb.
Couldn't have asked for anything more.

We loved staying at the Hibiscus Beach cottage. The location was perfect for exploring all parts of the island. The cottage is great for hanging out with the beach right there. Listening to the surf at night and the birds singing in the morning made for a very relaxing experience. The owner next door helped whenever we had some little detail needing taken care of and supplied us with a nice gift of limes from his place. The kitchen is very well equipped and we did a lot of eating right there. I highly recommend this place and hope to return sometime in the future.

We loved our week ar Hibiscus Hula! The house is comfortable and has pretty much everything we needed. The location is great if you like to be away from the crowds and noise at a resort. The beach is right across the street (
If you swim there wear swim shoes because the rocky reef is close in to shore; I saw some snorkels there but I didnt use The snorkel gear provided so Im not sure if its good snorkeling). The only issue I had were the crowing roosters, they are all over, earplugs helped me sleep through it.
I really loved the location -the view of mountains from the back is gorgeous, and the peek of ocean from the front lovely. Not far up the road is Kilauea Point with gorgeous views, lighthouse, and bird nesting grounds (even Albatross!) and then further along is the north shore, stunning.
I would definitely come back and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

The cottage was one of the cleanest properties that we have ever stayed in. The pictures do not do it justice. It was very comfortable and the location was perfect The only negative comment would be that the bed in one of the rooms is a bit saggy in the middle

We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Hibiscus Hula Beach Cottage! We will look into the beds and take care of any issues. We too love it's location on Kaua'is north east side down a dead end road and across from a beautiful beach. We look forward to having you back!

If you want a ncie simple beach cottage far from the madding condo crowd of overweight, lost midwesterners this is for you. Excellently furnished and run by the family operation of Aussie Greg and his charming Japanese Hawaiian wife Sue.

A beautiful, uncrowded beach is directly across from the cottage. The view is partially screened by vegetation but that is a plus in my view as it provides privacy. The only mnor cavil is that the locals use the beach for weekend cookouts and gatherings. It was not a big deal for us as it gave a feeling of authenticity. Those looking for a more airbrushed experience can join the lilywhites in condoville.

hibiscus hula was an absolutely lovely and perfect place to stay on kuaui. we walked to the beach across the street in one minute, for sunrise and swimming and walking. the house was convenient and clean and well equipped, with a gorgeous big back yard with all kinds of bird visitors. we could hear the sea all night. i couldn't recommend it more highly.

The house is fully equipped and lovely. Very nice set up, kitchen, etc. The backyard is ideal for families and being able to walk across the beach so easily makes a world of ease for those early risers. We have stayed on the island many times before and this is the first time we experienced the annoying noises of the mud/dirt bikes that have loud engines. People ride them on the beach. And so there were many afternoons into the evening where we heard them non-stop. That was disappointing as it disrupted the peace and quiet. My sister stayed here before and it never happened so perhaps it was a fluke. Aside from the dirt bikes, everything was wonderful. Our son loved the gecko's and frogs. The yard is wonderful and so large with a wonderful view.

We loved our stay at the Hibiscus Hula Beach Cottage. After a couple of days in Waikiki, Anahola Beach was wonderfully uncrowded as well as beautiful. Because of the river, there was a calm area for the kids to swim in, and I liked playing and boogie boarding in the surf (be careful if you're not an experienced swimmer). We loved listening to the ocean waves at night.

From Anahola, we went to Hanalei a couple of days for the beach and kayaking, and we went to the south for water skiing, zip lining, a luau, and a Na Pali coast tour.

When we travel, we like to stay in apartments and houses so we have more space, we have a kitchen, and we don't have to eat every meal in a restaurant - especially breakfasts. It makes vacation much more relaxing. This house was a perfect example of how it should work.

If you have not been to Kauai before, be advised that the island is overrun with free roaming chickens. The roosters like to crow in the morning, so you might need earplugs if you're a light sleeper or like to sleep in.
