Reviewer Comments:
Everything about Hale Nalu was perfect for our three-generation family (the youngest gen comprising a preschooler and a toddler). The house is beautiful and very well equipped. The lawn is great for kids to safely play, and Baby Beach is right there. We also drove just a few minutes to the beaches at Kiahuna and Poipu, and a little farther to Lydgate. The location is quiet and private, but everything we needed was close by. Garden Island Rentals was responsive, and the house was spotless when we arrived. Gear included plenty of towels and beach chairs, a good beach umbrella, toys for the kids, and an old boogie board. We loved making friends with Kona, the homeless cat who stopped by morning and evening in hopes of a meal (the owners provide the food), and my husband and I joined Poipu Kai Tennis Club for a week to join in their drop-in doubles. Our favorite family-friendly restaurant was Kauai Island Brewing in Koloa—excellent pizzas, salads, and burgers—and we also liked Mucho Aloha, Brennecke’s, and the poke and açaí at the Kukuiula Market. Oh, and the Thai food truck is good, too. We very much hope to return!

This home is truly in a magical setting and is everything you could ask for! Grandparents, parents and grandchildren all had a joyful time and are sad to go home!! We enjoyed every day in our fully stocked home and couldn’t get enough of that gorgeous view! Mahalo!
5.0 / 5.0
Terrific location for a relaxing stay away from it all but close enough to shopping and restaurants for a balanced vacation. Wonderful home which is well stocked and maintained right next to the baby beach. Saw some amazing sea turtles and monk seals while there and our family enjoyed the hammock and hot tub frequently after hikes or a long day at the beach. Will definitely be returning in the future! Thanks for the wonderful stay!

What a wonderful stay we had at this beautiful vacation home. Perfect location. There were 6 adults, my husband and me, and our 2 daughters and their husband,/partner. The hot tub was a hit.2 things that I would recommend the third bedroom should have queen bed in it and more coffee mugs!

Pros:- fantastic views! Can't beat it. Lounge chairs and hammock in the backyard facing the ocean was a great addition.- fully stocked kitchen, good appliances, everything worked- great location- in general, mostly clean (save for a few dead cockroaches in hard to reach places)- easy to find and access the house, check in instructions were clearCons:- slow communication. Would text the rental company with issues (as instructed in their emails to me), but would take several hours to hear a reply back. I even called and left a voicemail to report an issue, but it took nearly 48 hours for them to call back. - found two dead roaches in one of the bedrooms. Found underneath the bed and back of closet. Seems like these harder to reach places were not cleaned very well.- conflicting instructions on garbage day (one document said Monday, another said Thursday).Overall, would recommend and would stay here again.

Lovely home with spectacular sunset and sunrise views. It is steps away from Baby Beach and is walking distance to shops and restaurants. Having two master suites was a bonus.

Beautiful home and great location. Breathtaking sunsets and close to restaurants, shopping and beach access. We saw dolphins and turtles from our porch, and the HOT TUB was the best! It was so fun to sit in after a day of hiking and sightseeing. Hope to stay there again. Garden Island rentals was great to
work with. A plus in my book.

This was the first vacation in 10 years with all my grown children. We all flew to Kauai from different parts of the USA. And we could not have asked for a better vacation. My family and I had a wonderful time! The house was even better than the pictures. Very well kept, and clean. The views of the ocean were awesome. Waking up to the sound of the ocean everyday was calming and refreshing. We enjoyed our meals on the outside patio every day overlooking the ocean. The hot tub was a great addition to our relaxing experience especially after a long day of sight seeing and hiking. The property manager was very attentive and helpful. Would definintely stay here again.

Words or pictures cannot convey the beauty of this house - it's location, the view, the amenities, the top of the line fixtures and furnishings. Truly unbelievable. If you are like us you will look at the view each day and wonder if it's is! GIR was easy and pleasant to deal with. Everything you need is provided including beach chairs and towels, a beach umbrella, and various snorkeling stuff. Only negative was the low key construction going on next door. A bit of power tool noise was heard but wasn't too bad. Hopefully they'll be finished next year when we come back.

This home was everything as describes plus more! It had everything you could possibly need (down to bandaids, peroxoide, and. bug spray). The location was fantastic, right on baby beach where you can snorkel and just enjoy the sunrise and sunsets. The house was immaculately clean and had plenty of room for everybody in our l family. We will definitely book this house again!

There were six adults in our group, and we could not have enjoyed the house more. It’s so comfortable and the views are so amazing that we found it hard to want to leave. Whale watching from the deck. Large, well outfitted kitchen and comfortable beds. What more could you want? We loved it and highly recommend it. Garden Island Properties were also great to work with. Very responsive and helpful.

Location and accommodations were spectacular. Couldn’t imagine a more scenic and romantic spot for an anniversary getaway. Sitting in the hot tub as the sun went down over the ocean is an experience that’s been seared into my brain. Really appreciate the amazing expereince.

The house and location were outstanding. The house met or exceeded our expectations. I would declare that Hale Nalu is the absolute best located house on baby beach! My only recommendation would be to get some kind of screen door for the front door. Would help keep the breeze coming through the house. We loved this house and would come back in a minute! Mahalo!

We’ve stayed in many homes along the South shore and this is one of our favs! We enjoyed the airy open vibe of the living space with a wonderful covered lanai for meals Al fresco, rain or shine! Loved star gazing from the hot tub. Location, access to shops, beaches a plus! Rented some bikes and the whole family enjoyed riding around the town from this great location. Kitchen well stocked for family cookups. Loved having beach chairs, umbrellas, loads of beach towels, such a plus! Will be back soon! Garden Island was very responsive and helpful. Easy in and out.

Kauai Dream-house
We loved our stay in this beautiful and clean oceanfront property. The location is truly awesome, in a nice relaxed (this is Hawaii after all) neighborhood and offers plenty of good food options within a short drive. The kitchen was fully equipped and all other amenities were available as outlined on the website. We had a great time and would love to return eventually.

Overall, the house is wonderful with all the features you want in a beachside vacation destination. The views from this property are awesome and the sounds of the surf could not be better. Every night we were treated with wonderful sunsets from the comfortable back lanai and once sunset passed, we enjoyed the relaxing spa before retreating to bed. The house is very tastefully decorated and appointed and you’ll not need much more than your food and drink to enjoy your stay. Rooms are spacious and restful and do not worry about the lack of a/c, as there are plenty of breezes flowing through the home. The neighborhood is very quiet and an extremely short distance to great eating and shopping options.

Spotless, artfully decorated space, but not filled with precious breakables you must stow away from curious hands, with entire walls of south-facing sliding door windows for natural lighting and ocean breezes. 5 minute walk to trendy shopping center with pizza, burgers and upmarket eateries, a pricey but well-supplied organic grocer and fish store, drug store. House on tiny lane with many walkers, so comfortable on foot and quiet feel. 1 minute walk to a reef-enclosed flat water beach for sand castles and kiddie snorkeling. Master bedroom upstairs is dreamy big. Plenty of beach toys, boogie boards. Hot tub on lanai well maintained.

This is a nice waterfront location. Hard to beat close to the water views. Great proximity to everything in the Poipu area. The house is well equipped with most all that you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. Beach towels and chairs are included. Because of the location, the noise from the strong surf is rather prominent and the sounds from Baby Beach can remind you of the appropriateness of it's name. We wouldn't let this minor drawback stop us from renting it again. Garden Island rentals was responsive and did a good job.

We absolutely loved our stay at this house! The location was perfect and the house was exactly as pictured. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything needed during our stay (ie, blender, coffee pot, pots/pans, etc) The views from the back yard and deck were beautiful.

Incredible oceanfront home
Let me start by saying it’s not easy to get to Kauai during covid... the 72hr quarantine bubble in a hotel makes you think twice about going. Airlines canceling your flight 5 days before isn’t helpful. This house made it worth all the hassle. Everything you could want in an oceanfront home. Steps from baby beach which is wonderful for kids. Watching the sun set and the waves crash from the deck & hot tub. House was fully stocked with everything you need. Property manger was very helpful as we had to change dates multiple times due to travel restrictions and flight issues. We will 100% be returning to this house in the future, hopefully without a 72hr quarantine!

This is a wonderful property close to a lot of things and snorkeling right in front.
Generally it was great. It was quite a hassle to understand the Hawai’ian requirements and protocols. Not the fault at all of the property management. They were very flexible and helpful in our preparing for our trip.

This is our fourth time to rent this property for a week. We hope to return again next year. Perfect spot for a relaxing getaway for our family of grandparents/parents and two young children. Open the windows, feel the breeze off the water, share a meal on the lanai. We shopped at nearby farmers markets (Saturday at the community college and Wednesday at the nearby shopping center), walked to the nearby restaurants, lolled at the beach with the kids. Very slowed down pace. Kitchen well supplied, lots of room to prepare meals. Yard is perfect for little ones. Steps from the reef-protected bay, which is safe for small children.

This was our 2nd time renting Hale Nalu, the first time was about 10 years ago and both times the property did not let us down. Though the weather was not ideal we still managed and had a great time. I found a missing rental key (someone must have lost in the past) and cleaned out the blocked gutter downspouts for you. We also named the outside cat Stitch! Only recommendation is possibly trying to get AC for the downstairs bedrooms. That would help tremendously for the humid nights. Overall, a great time!!!

Fine dining as well a Bubba's burgers as within easy walking distance. We highly recommend this house and plan to come back next year.
