Liz and Chad were amazing hosts! The place was beautiful and accommodating. I could have stayed for two months instead of two weeks. We loved Kekaha and didn’t mind driving to other destinations over the island. We will be staying again!

This house was a wonderful stay, a perfect end to our vacation in Kauai. We wish we would have stayed here the entire week vs the few days we spent on the north shore. The local food, beer, and comforts of this home were perfect. We didn't use the hot tub but we would have if we stayed longer. The beds were super comfortable, the sofa was lovely, and the fans and AC were a welcome treat after a long hike. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the spices and oils you need for cooking.

Loved the stay - great house - super comfortable! Only down side is the distance from everything (grocery stores/reataurants) but it certainly isn’t the owners fault. Very quiet stay!!!

The accommodation was even better in person. A great cottage to share for traveling couples. The screened in lanai, your own backyard & hot tub were awesome. Having the beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler was so useful. The check in process was very easy and Chad & Liz were very helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

This sweet home was one of the best VRBO experiences we have ever had. The laid back vibe set the most relaxing tone for our stay. The house was very comfortable, spacious, and immaculate. Liz and Chad are wonderful and available to answer every question. We loved how well stocked everything was and the details of this home were exceptional. We will definitely stay here in the future. Thank you Liz and Chad!!

The property was fantastic. My wife and I stayed for a month and had a great time. Liz and Chad were the perfect hosts. The cottage has everything you need. Perfect location if you plan on doing a lot of hiking in Waimea Canyon and Koke'e State Park. Make sure to check out Kalaheo Cafe and JP's Pizza. Go Niners!!!

House was a perfect fit for our plans to hike Waimea Canyon. House was well equipped with comfortable beds and plenty of hot water for 4 adults to shower with. Only issue we had was getting into the house because the battery on the door key pad was low and it took many tries to get door to open. Called property manager who did not answer had to call VRBO who got the property manager to call us back. This took about 20 minutes before we could get into the house. I'm sure the batteries have been replaced and this is no longer an issue. I would stay here again and hope to in the future.

We loved our stay at Hale Makai! The house was impeccably clean and exactly as pictured in the listing. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, and the owner even provided towels and other supplies to take the the beach. We loved having a private hot tub and screened-in lanai. The location was ideal for our trip - it is in a residential area conveniently located near Waimea Canyon and great hiking. Would definitely recommend this home!

We have stayed at many vacation rentals (including at least six on Kauai), and this property is very nice. It was well outfitted--the kitchen had a wide array of tools and some staples (like coffee and mustard) that are not often included. And it was immaculate. I don't recall staying at any rental that seemed as clean. For four people, it is quite comfortable (we had only two and it felt big). You can walk to the beach in five minutes. The owners were very nice to deal with. It does not have an ocean view (not that anyone said it would), but that is really the only downside we saw.

This beautifully appointed home made the perfect gateway to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State Park. The home was spacious, comfortable and had nice options for dining indoors, on the lanai or in the pretty backyard. Chad came by to see that we had everything we needed. Mahalo.

Very nice house with great kitchen. We enjoyed our time on the island. We weren't sure which area on the island we should stay, after exploring the island, we were pleased to have chosen this part of the island.

The cottage was welcoming and comfortable. Great Lanai to wake up to with a cup of coffee and end a day with a book on. Great kitchen (sharp knives), and beds! Liz and Chad were very warm and welcoming. They have everything you need for a memorable vacation on Kauai.

My husband, 17year-old son and I had great stay at this very well appointed, nicely furnished and spacious bungalow. You see the owners put a lot of love and attention to detail into it to make it pretty- it even has two nice murals in the living room. The lanai and screened porch were delightful (and great against the occasional mosquito). Air conditioning and numerous fans throughout the house were very welcome but AC not really needed at night. The kitchen is very well equipped and we enjoyed cooking a meal or two and using the BBQ outside. So convenient to use the washer and dryer if you’re on a longer stay! Everything was provided - even toiletries, hair driers, sun screen etc!
Minor drawbacks was that the master bed is comfortable a bit squeaky and the roosters in the neighborhood starting at 3:30 am each morning- but hey it’s Kauai and we got used to them. The location is great for exploring the south west shore of Kauai, like Polihale beach, Saltpond beach park or going up to Weimea canyon. no ago early to beat the crowds and clouds. Great hikes up there!! It’s about a 35-40 min drive to Po’ipu beaches on the South shore. Shopping opportunities at nearby Waimea. Definitely recommend this property!

This VRBO home is beautiful!! Perfect for a relaxing stay in paradise! House was spotless, beautifully decorated, and has all the appliances and cookware you will need. Location was perfect, with shopping a few miles away. The beach right across the street was great to walk too and watch the gorgeous sunsets! The yard was private and cozy, and the hot tub was an added plus! Liz and Chad were great hosts and attentive to any questions we had.

Greetings! Aloha! Our stay in the Hale Makai happened Feb 4-9 2023. Much to our delighted surprise, the neighborhood, ambiance and location were very secluded, clandestine and BEAUTIFUL. The home has all of the amenities needed for an extended stay. Small lizards, very harmless do get in the laundry room, be aware. We were not afraid of it however. The kitchen had everything needed, included extra tasty spices. Thank you. The floors by and under both beds and back bedroom countertops were rather dusty, my only "sneezing" quip for the cleaning person. We didn't get to use the hot tub sadly. Time. But if we ever come back and we would love to, we will definitely use it. The covered porch was wonderful, great for meditating and relaxing. The bedding was PLUSH and the mattresses felt amazing. I can tell that great attention was put into making this experience like HOME but better. I loved the wool laundry balls as well. I will always cherish my memories in Kekaha Kauai Island of Hawaii. If you are staying in Kekaha make sure you know your way around town, there is no store just around the corner but 2-3 miles away. If you are NOT renting a car, UBER and LYFT rarely come on that side of the island. You will wait for hours or they will cancel the ride. Please rent a car or learn to take the bus. Waimea is a walking town and it's great for exercising and moving about the small city. Go on and explore. We loved being in the Hale Makai home and are grateful for the forever memories.

The cottage was so cute and quaint. Just the right size for 2 people. Loved that it was right on Lake Champlain. We will definitely book this property again.

Chad and Liz have built a gorgeous cottage by the sea. It is exceptionally clean and new, and exceptionally well equipped. It is very private but has a five minute walk to the beach or a five minute drive to Waimea, which is very laid back and funky. We just don’t like the resort vibe in this or any other island, so the house was a perfect fit. Pity about the roosters, but that is Kaua’i. You get used to them. Thanks Chad and Liz. Your place is great.

Liz and Chad have a wonderful place! Clean, modern, and a fully equipped kitchen made this a great place to spend our vacation. Easy beach access, beach chairs and a cooler made for enjoyable sunsets looking over the water. The location is great, away from the more populated tourist areas. Waimea Canyon is just a short drive away, as well as some great hikes. For a more swimmable area, Salt Pond Park is just 10 minutes up the road.

Everything was as described. Easy access to beaches, Wiamea Canyon, lovely towns with wonderful food. House was well supplied with beach chairs, towels, cooler, etc. Quiet and private, peaceful. It was a treat to meet the owners.

This little house is superb! It has a fabulous kitchen and lanai. I highly recommend it. The West side of Kauai is quiet and low key. We were close to Waimea Canyon and great hiking as well as a wonderful swimming beach in Salt Pond Park.

This is the best VRBO we ever stayed at hands down! Chad and Liz were awesome ( the hosts) and the house and property were incredible! Everything worked properly, we had everything we needed and we truly felt relaxed and comfortable! We were out having adventures everyday and to come home to luxury was exactly what we needed! The place was so clean, amenities were amazing, and we loved the fact there was cleaning supplies to spruce up when needed. The bedding was great, towels nice and fresh, no dust. The AC was a lifesaver when we were home. The house is well insulated so we didn’t need it on all the time while home. The showers are huge, toilets flush good and theirs ceiling fans in each one! Washer/dryer were great! I loved the little stool provided to help me reach into the bottom of the washer, good thinking. EVERYTHING about this place was a winner! Highly recommended and worth every penny♥️ Unforgettable trip with an unforgettable VRBO experience! Thanks again Chad and Liz🤙🏽♥️😎🎣🏄🏼♀️🏄🏾🏖

Hale Makai, Kekaha is No Ka Oi!!!
Fantastic, clean, spacious property. We have stayed at many VRBO's on Kaua'i over the years, this is by far the best. House is stocked with everything: coffee, laundry, seasonings, cooking utensils, you name it. Hosts are beyond gracious and go the extra mile for a memorable guest experience. Privacy and not cramped like a condo in Poipu. White sand beaches for days :)

Heaven in West Kauai
The house was beautiful, from the bedrooms to the bathrooms, shower, and excellently equipped kitchen. Spent a couple of evenings looking at stars from the hot tub. Kekaha is rustic and beautiful, off the beaten path and lovely. We had a great time. Love to come back!

West Kauai stay
Lovely home. Well appointed with full kitchen and accessories. Hot tub. Carport was nice for occasional rains. Isolated quiet beaches are close and easy to walk to. We enjoyed the screened in porch. Very close to Waimea Canyon if you're into hiking. It's a 30 minute drive to Poipu or Lihue, so keep that in mind. This was THE BEST VRBO we have ever stayed at. Beds were comfortable and nicely appointed furniture.
