We were thrilled pulling up to this beautiful home! Our stay was exceptional as we started mornings with coffee and family time on the lanai’s and had a wonderful time enjoying the peace and quiet of the west side of the island.
There was an issue with the AC upstairs but I commend Chad and his on-island team Keenan for being creative with solutions to immediately get portable units to make our evenings more comfortable. The layout of the home is perfect offering all places to congregate and also privacy in evenings.
Wimea canyon is only a 15 minute drive with lots of private/quiet beaches away from the typical touristy areas of hanalei, Lihue, and poipu. We had a car and were able to drive and explore the entire island with ease.
Thank you Shaka Hala for helping us celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday with joy, relaxation, and beauty!! Highly recommend staying here!

we booked this dreamy house for my 50th birthday celebration, we had friends renting another Shaka property down the street and more friends in Poipu. This was a great home to host everyone for a BBQ. There was plenty of seating and dining ware. We made use of the many available games. We enjoyed yoga on the walkable beach across the street. The house fit all of us so comfortably. We were even able to accommodate a surprise visit from my nephew. There was plenty of towels, both bath and beach. Tons of beach chairs and umbrellas that came in handy. We were a bit away from the action which was a blessing and a hassle from time to time but I still chose the best house for an amazing week!
The only things I can recommend would be new seating cushions for the lanai. And perhaps just a tad more attention to the detailed cleaning. The house in general was immaculate, it was just the little things that i noticed such as dirty hand railings - but it was no big deal.
Overall - a WONDERFUL PROPERTY! I would highly recommend.
5.0 / 5.0
I chose this home due to its ability to house the 9 of us. We consisted of 3 couples and 3 small children. The lay out was perfect for our family and we had plenty of space. The lanai was large and the perfect place to have meals together. This home is on the west side of the island (dryer side). The beach was amazing and had great boogie boarding for experienced swimmers. The excursions were about 15-45 min away from the house, but not a problem for us. This is a more local side of the island and not full of many tourists. The overall experience was 5 stars for us and we plan on returning in 2025.

This is a beautiful home on the quiet, warm side of the island. Very close Waimea Canyon and Kekeha beach. Easily accommodated, 3 generations of our family.

We loved our stay in Kekaha at Shaka Hale. It's a wonderful, quiet neighborhood near great beaches and the lovely town of Waimea. The house is beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed, with dreamy ocean views, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the West and South sides of the island and being away from the primary tourist areas.
Be aware that there is road noise from the highway at all hours, so the primary suite can be a bit noisy at night.
Regardless, we loved our time here and highly recommend it. We would absolutely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
From the moment we walked into Shaka Hale, we knew it was worth the price of admission. The house is stunning, incredibly spacious and definitely elegant. The furniture is beautiful and the decorations are simply perfect. With stunning breathtaking views we miss already.
The master suite is outstanding, great space, amazing views and we had coffee on the lanai every morning, watched the sunset over Ni’ihau and just relaxed out there at the end of the day. A TV in the room would have made it 110% perfect, but there is one in the spacious area just outside of the master. The downstairs master leads to the screened in porch, which was fantastic and the other 2 bedrooms had plenty of space and storage.
The incredible kitchen includes a countertop that goes on forever. Everything you could think needing of in a kitchen was there including a spacious pantry.
The location is incredible, away from the hotels and tourists. The beach just up the road is incredible; not crowded, large beach and those amazing sunsets. Just 2 miles away is a well stocked Big Save, restaurants and our favorite, JoJo’s shaved ice.
There are tons of games & puzzles and the wifi was excellent. Plenty of towels, chairs & beach gear.
This house was perfect for our vacation, definitely made everything feel elegant on the next level. Chad was incredibly informative and an absolutely outstanding host. We would definitely highly recommend this property and hope to be back ourselves.

4.0 / 5.0
The house itself is beautiful and has wonderful outdoor space as well. It wasn't spotless, but was clean enough. The disappointment was location. We realized we were going to be in an out of the way place and this is what we wanted. We hiked in the canyon and enjoyed eating in Waimea. The photos make it seem like there is some sand in front; that is not the case. One review said in the winter there is sand, but there was not in December. There was a bit of a beach to the left and a larger beach to the right. Both were not clean and had people living in tents on or near them. There were lots of cigarette butts on the sand in both locations. I didn't' want to get in the water but was hoping to walk along the beach. The only option was along a very busy road. We knew there was a road but didn't anticipate it being this busy so far out of the way. Lots of traffic at all hours, which was quite loud in the house, especially the front side. The master upstairs had headlights shining in all night, even with the shades pulled.
Again, the house itself is nice but it wasn't the quiet, relaxed vacation we were looking for with all the traffic and the dirty beach areas.
4.0 / 5.0
We were so excited to stay right next to the beach, except when we went the Kekaha beach was not allowing people to enter the water so you were stuck on land. A little ways up by Waimea there was a great beach especially for little kids called the salt Ponds and then we spent a lot of time in Poipu because we wanted to be in the water not just on the beach.
The house was great though! It had everything we needed and was so peaceful at night! We would definitely go back at a different time of year!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay - we had seven people in our party (couple, single and party of four with two 7yr olds). We had plenty of room inside as well as two lanais set up to relax and an outside living area. You could watch the sunset each evening, walk across the street and sit on the rocks next to the ocean with your coffee and gaze up at the stars at night. The house was beautifully decorated and provided plenty of space for family gatherings.

This house was perfect for our group. Beautiful home, great setup for our family plus a family friend (master upstairs and another large bedroom with en suite on the first floor). Lots of areas to sit and recharge (multiple lanais). The beach view was amazing. Lots of amenities in the home to use (condiments, spices, beach toys, snorkels, other beach accessories). This side of the island is much less touristy but that is what we were looking for. Close to lots of Waimea Canyon hiking and several really great restaurants in the town of Waimea. The beach was beautiful but not a swimming beach for kids but our kids really enjoyed playing in the sand and watching the waves. Overall, great place and would choose to stay again.

This was a perfect getaway home for a week with our family and close friends. Home was well stocked with plenty of amenities. Beautiful sunsets every night! (We just walked across the street and enjoyed sunset every night from the small beach). Chad was very helpful in giving us island recommendations.

Views were outstanding on top lanai, but only accommodated 4 persons. We had 7 in our party, so we could not all sit together on the upper lanai. Screened in porch on lower lanai had a good view of the ocean even if it was situated on the side of the house. Disappointed in the traffic noise. At times you could not hear each oth
4.0 / 5.0
We had a great stay in this spacious home with plenty of room for 6 of us. The outdoor spaces were great with ocean views, you could hear the waves from your bedroom. Some of the outdoor furniture was a bit tired due to the weather and proximity to the ocean but we sat out most days. Appliances were great, kitchen is large and had most of what we needed. Location is about 10- 15 min walk to a great beach, the nearest town is Wimea which is about 5 min by car. We sadly hit a patch of bad weather so spent a lot of time indoors. Luckily the house was very comfortable for 6 of us.

The property was perfect for us. We each had our own Bed and Bath. The property Manager was easy to reach when we had a water leak in the upstairs bath. (Lived right behind the home). We did have to travel some to other locations to visit but hey we got to see the sights along the way! Mahalo!

This is really a lovely home but we didn’t get much chance to enjoy it. We spent all of our time driving to Lahui and the east shore North Shore because that’s where all the activities are. The house is showing its age but it is a lovely home. I will probably not stay here again just because of the location and the fact that we didn’t get to enjoy it…it was still dark when we left and it was dark when we got back…

Such an amazing property and location. Chad was absolutely amazing to communicate with. I needed a lot of different information for us and for our family as far as places to go and things to do and Chad was our man!! He helped us every step of the way. You can hear and see the ocean from the upstairs master Lanai. The kitchen was fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, toaster oven, small toaster, glass pitcher etc. The only thing I wish it had was a slow cooker so that I could set it and forget it while we play at the beach. I was grateful they supplied body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. In the pantry there are a few spices such as salt, pepper, cumin, chili pepper which was nice so that we could cook without having to rush to the store for spices. Grocery store within an 8 to 10 minute drive and this side of the island is quiet and not as busy or crowded. Can't say enough good things about this property, location and manager. We will definitely be back!!!

Incredible home with stunning views of the ocean. Plenty of room to gather as a group and also space to spread out when needed. The multiple lanais are heavenly and the home is tastefully decorated. Well appointed kitchen. This is a great place if you want to be away from the busyness of the cities and fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Kauai!

Beautiful home and location
Wonderful home that was surprisingly equipped. We appreciated that toilet paper, soap, shampoo, beach towels, chairs and beach toys were provided. The house is well maintained and clean in a nice neighborhood. There is a short walk to the beach. Traffic noise and a very uncomfortable bed are our only complaints. We did have s surprise visit from the owner which was not appreciated, otherwise it was a wonderful house.

Shaka Hale is everything the pictures represent plus more. Chad even has enough beach chairs and umbrellas for our group of 7. Every small detail has also been though of. If you are considering Shake Hale, don't hesitate. Well done Chad.

Amazing Trip!!!
Booked a celebration vacation with family. Our daughter’s only request was to have an ocean view. We found this beautiful house with all the room we needed right on the ocean. Wow!! The very first day we were watching whales from the Lanai! The location was perfect for us. Away from the resorts and crowds. A short drive to the port for a cruise, the southern beaches for snorkeling and finding turtles but still had quiet nights for family games and falling asleep listening to the waves. Having A/C was a plus. The days were warm and cooling the rooms before bedtime made sleeping very comfortable. Gorgeous kitchen, bathrooms, furnishings….much better than staying in a hotel. Chad was extremely responsive and helpful every step of the way. Would highly recommend staying here!!

Beautiful House
Absolutely loved the home. No problems with the house - however road noise was a tad loud. The master bedroom is gorgeous- master bed is worn and old and mattress could be replaced. No complaints though and would stay there again anytime. Loved it and was so so so sad to go. The best part about the house is that it comes with all necessities for lovely days at beaches. Sand chairs - snorkels masks and baby toys were such a wonderful surprise.

Stunning house and Views
From start to finish we loved our time on Kauai! The house was amazing, and so spacious. So many areas to spread out. The ocean views were spectacular, and the sunsets were breathtaking.
The house had one of the best stocked kitchens we have ever seen, and we loved that there were two fridges.
The amount of beach accessories to use ( chairs, snorkels, and boogie boards) made our beach days fabulous.
While Kekaha is about a 45 minute to an hour drive from Lihue, we loved the beaches and other activities we were able to do on the west side of the island.
All eight adults would highly recommend this beach house rental. It was worth the drive and location.

Great house for a family gathering
We looked at many houses on different islands, decided on this remote, rural part of beautiful Kauai. We were glad because the pandemic was still ongoing and we could be away from hotels and crowds. It was perfect for our family of 6 adults, a toddler and a baby.
The house has everything you could want for cooking and BBQ and that’s what we did most nights, after a mega shopping trip to Costco in Lihue. We got yummy takeout from Island Tacos in Waimea, and loved Grandma’s Japanese in Hanapepe, fabulous sushi in a large outdoor garden.
The house faces the ocean right across the road, with beautiful lanais downstairs and upstairs, but there is quite a lot of traffic. The best beach is Kekaha Beach Park, a very short drive (2-3 min) with wide sand and a lifeguard. The house has great sand toys, beach towels, chairs, and more.
The closest hotel, shopping center with stores and restaurants, and golf courses are in the Poipu area, about 30 min. drive. We bought fresh fish to BBQ at Koloa Fish Market in nearby Koloa town.
All in all, a wonderful 10-day family vacation!
