About this house rental
Hawaiian ease meets Balinese charm in this uniquely elegant, custom-designed South Shore villa, with luxuries galore & views for miles. Brand-new & wonderfully spacious, Hale ‘Imi Ola offers the ultimate in stylish, relaxing indoor-outdoor living, complete with heated plunge pool/spa & an inviting lanai that’s perfect for entertaining. The expansive layout—3 BR/3.5BA in the main house, plus a 4th suite in the enchanting, detached ‘ohana cottage—is ideal for family groups of all sizes, and every space (inside & out) is replete with tastefully luxe furnishings, state-of-the-art appliances & attractive island-style amenities.
Each of the 4 full baths features the ultimate in tropical delight: an outdoor shower set in a private garden behind lava-rock walls. Beguiling Balinese touches include vast swathes of rich, luminous mahogany; gorgeously crafted furniture; and eye-pleasing wall art & textiles in botanical motifs. Color abounds, with the brilliant blues & glorious greens of the grassy pool area echoed in the idyllic vistas of golf course, palm trees, sea & sky.
Hale ‘Imi Ola’s location, in the prime Kukui‘ula community overlooking a world-class golf course, is incredibly convenient. The house is wonderfully quiet & private—tucked away behind lava-rock walls—yet it’s a short walk or drive to all the wonders of Poipu: legendary beaches, intriguing shopping, exciting restaurants & must-see landmarks. And when you’re ready to venture farther afield, there’s quick, easy access to highways that will take you to every amazing corner of this beautiful, fascinating, irresistible island.

This is a great property in a great location. It is near shopping, beaches, golf, and all the best dining locations. We will definitely be back.The only small changes they could make would be to have a second set of keys or a keypad on the main house, as well as a microwave in the Ohana/Casita.

We celebrated my mom's 70th here, and this house was perfect for our needs. We had kids, grandparents, and a single aunt in addition to my husband and me, and we were easily able to spread out and have our own space as needed. The pool and hot tub were in constant use when we were at the house. We cooked in a lot and had all the utensils we needed, although the only spices available were salt and pepper. The outside patio was perfect for dinners. I felt the house was exactly as billed. The only very minor issue was lack of spices and lack of beach toys (boogie boards, sand toys) but the chairs and umbrellas were clutch. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We loved our week in this gorgeous home. It is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Our family of seven had more than enough space for all of us, and the house layout allowed privacy and togetherness. The outdoor showers are fun. The pool and jacuzzi are perfect, and the view is a golf course and the ocean. This is truly a 5-star vacation home. We would love to return ASAP.

This was our second time renting this house and we couldn't have been happier. Perfect location, great house and pool, and very helpful staff. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay. We'll definitely be back.

We brought our family of six with 4 adult children. The house was perfect. There was plenty of space for individual time and the lanai was a great space for all of us to come together. The house itself was incredible architecturally and functionally. The location was perfect, quieter than a hotel with much more room for family fun! It was a great escape for a week!

This property is exceptional. The pictures really don't do it justice - it is just amazing in person. Our family of 6, including an infant, enjoyed our stay so much. The space was perfect for everyone to have privacy, interact, enjoy the pool, the spa, the kitchen, etc. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and the view....well the view each morning was outstanding. The management company was very responsive with any questions, and everything was super easy - check in, check out, and the upgraded provisions (beach equipment, Sonos music system, etc.) were so nice to have. The house is unbelievably beautiful inside and out - we hope to come back again soon!

Wailani is the BEST rental company on the island. Don't fall for the hype of the others. This group of people makes everything easier and friendlier than the rest. And, their houses are much newer and nicer. Mahalo for another great stay!

5.0 / 5.0
Everything was great with the property and lush grounds. We were just confused as to why the master bedroom only had an outside shower and all other bedrooms had both an inside and outside shower. There was no lock on the outside shower door. Took a bit getting used to- Otherwise we really enjoyed the outdoor living spaces.

We loved everything about this house. Beds were comfy, the layout perfect for a group of eight adults, the view was beautiful! Kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans, blender etc and even Mai tai glasses. :) Check in/check out was simple... we can’t wait to rebook ‘Ima Ola through Wailani Kauai again!

Top tier house in a top tier neighborhood. We dined out only on our first and last nights. The kitchen has all amenities to cook fantastic meals; plus you can’t beat the view!
2.5 / 5.0
A group of us (2 families made up of 4 adults and two children, 8 and 10) stayed 10 nights and couldn't have been happier. The house lives up to its billing. The location is perfect -- super convenient to great restaurants, shopping and activities. The kids lived in the pool and everyone enjoyed the house. Super-responsive property managers. We have a new go-to place on the island. Can't wait for next time.

Aloha! We spent 5 days in this beautiful home… wish it was more! The home allowed us a wonderful break from busy resorts. So peaceful and private! Location was amazing and the house manager Sean was quick to reply after we had a question. Would absolutely refer this home and will be back!

House is as advertised!
Gorgeous home and the amenities were all top notch. Sean and his crew are amazing people and we’re extremely helpful. Convenient location for beaches and activities. If you want to be in the south shore this is the spot. Bring the kids as they will be happy with the property too.

Spacious indoor/outdoor oasis in Poipu. Everyone loved their personal outdoor showers off each bedroom. Ocean views beyond the golf course were mesmerizing as we prepared meals in the well equipped chef's kitchen. Already planning our return trip to Hale 'Imi Ola.

The property was fantastic from top to bottom…great location, very well laid out, super clean and amazing views. We did have some issues with the AC in one of the rooms and fire pit, which were handled quickly by the property managers. Would definitely stay here or at another one of the Wailani-Kauai properties in the future!

Outstanding Koloa vacation rental
Hale ‘Imi Ola is a spacious, very well-equipped, modern house with views over a golf course to the ocean. We found it conveniently located close to south-shore beaches, shops, a grocery store, and a weekly farmers market. It was in immaculate condition when we arrived.
The owners and staff of Wailani Kauai, who manage the property, are extremely pleasant and responsive.
