Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
From your oceanfront perch on a lava-rock cliff, a dazzling ombre of blues tantalizes the eyes and the smell of saltwater tickles your nose. Let the ocean breezes warm you as you lounge on multiple lanais, listening to the waves crash below. This roomy house enjoys an unbeatable location right on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping.
Keep your crew fed and happy thanks to a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and an island for extra prep space. Dine with the ocean as your backdrop at the six-person table surrounded by windows, or opt for the outdoor, six-person patio table.
Sweet dreams of Hawaiian sunsets await you in the upstairs bedrooms. There's a convenient half-bath on the main floor and three en suite bathrooms upstairs, offering extra privacy and space. Make yourself at home with extras that include cable TV, free high-speed internet, and a washer/dryer. A guest house with an additional king bed and AC will perfectly accommodate additional members of your party. The living areas are on the first floor, all bedrooms are on the second floor, and the studio is on the ground floor.
Why We Love This Home
Prime Location: It's a quick walk to Poipu Beach Park to swim, surf, and snorkel.
Roomy Living Area: Gather the whole ohana for some quality time in the living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows let you appreciate the view even inside. Bench seating, a couch, and a love seat provide a spot for everyone to relax.
Plenty of Space: The spacious, flexible floor plan includes large shared spaces, so your entire ohana can spend quality time together. Outside, several lanais provide a front-row seat to the incredible views.
Slather on the sunscreen and make the short walk down to Poipu Beach Park. While there, enjoy lounging in the sand, splashing in the waves, and exploring underwater life through a snorkel mask. Brennecke’s Beach Broiler across the street from the beach is the place to be for casual seafood and amazing views.
Please note that there is no air conditioning in the main house. Only the attached studio includes air conditioning.

This property has an amazing view of the ocean. We saw many sea turtles and other aquatic life. This property is close to swimming beaches, shopping, restaurants and hiking.

SHE NEEDS TLC….
The view is absolutely spectacular there is no doubt about that. The entire house needs to be updated and air-conditioning installed.
I will never stay again unless it’s fully air-conditioned. A few of the windows would not open or close. Two out of three of the televisions did not work when we arrived. After reporting one not working, it was replaced 48 hours later by a very nice lady and gentlemen. Didn’t realize the other one did not work until we were ready to leave. All day rain one day and we had a few leaks. One on the stairs and one by a doorway. Great location for eating out, golfing, swimming, surfing or walking to the beach. Great neighborhood, someone just needs to invest in this old house.
5.0
Spectacular location and easy access to a nice beach, good restaurants and shopping. The house could use some updates and the decks need a coat of paint but the location made it all worth it. We would book it again.
3.0
As most reviews have mentioned the location and views are stunning. Whales, turtles, dolphins, seals, and birds were an absolute highlight. But also as most reviews have mentioned, the maintenance is far behind. We struggled with check in door codes, finding propane for BBQ, broken/missing/inoperable windows, fans, and blinds. During a strong storm we had water coming thru many windows including one over the stairs which required lots of towels and water catching receptacles. The kitchen works well but does lack any extras to prepare meals besides salt and pepper. The patio and decks above the ocean are superb view but also feel like some boards are nearing end of use and some railing is broken. The accompanying deck/patio furniture is also suspect besides a nice couch on the corner which doesn’t contribute to seeing the ocean. The supplied beach gear is helpful but also showing the age and wear/tear. The washer dryer is nice to help keep packing needs down. There is no outdoor shower to battle the sand so we used a yard hose. The house was clean on check in. Overall, the view is incredible but the overall condition can cause some stress and inconvenience.
5.0
House is set up perfectly. Almost like everyone had their own suite. Had everything we needed to cook all of our meals…..do bring spices other than S&P if needed. The view will make for any “issues” you “think” you have with the house. Would definitely come back.
3.0
The property did not have a good first impression. The overall appearance was disappointing. The night we arrive we were not able to enter the property with the code we were given and had to contact Vasaca to get a different code. The home needs some improvements. Alot of things need replaced (cabinets and floors) but even a new coat of paint would greatly improve the appearance. Some windows didn't work, blinds were missing or broken and it was very warm inside to sleep since there is not any air conditioning. The floor fans that were there did not provide much relief at night. The positive is the incredible view! Also, the outside grounds were well taken care of and we met the people who took care of them. The house was in a nice location and had alot of room but the appearance inside and out needs to be improved.
5.0
We enjoy waking up in the morning seeing turtles and dolphins right in front of the lanai.
4.0
The central location, nice neighborhood, ocean front views and beautiful yard could not be beat. Our large family enjoyed walking to Poipu beach (if you go at sunrise, you can see the sea turtles going into the water for the day). We loved spotting dolphins and sea turtles from the yard, doing yoga on the balcony and stargazing. The location was a good homebase for the day trips that we had planned. The only negative was the house is older and we had some problems turning off the showers all the way, and turning on light switches etc.
The house could use some updating. Nonetheless, we thought this house was perfect for our needs and loved our stay.
4.0
Our entire family enjoyed the fabulous view of the coast, crashing waves and sunsets.
We had a difficult time with the access code but your local assistant helped us out.
The kitchen had good appliances and cooking tools.
A few more serrated knives would be nice.
The photo misrepresented the property which was built in 1993. It is in great need of repair and paint. Many of the electrical outlets didn’t work and the air conditioning in the studio was more of a swamp cooler. Only 1 out of 3 portable fans worked.
Cockroaches came into the master bath because the window needs repair.
We hope to return in a few years but hope you make some well needed updates.

The view is what win is over. It alone putshines any negatives about this property. Definately lacking in a few features someone from out of state can't bring with them nor would want to purchase for such a short stay, including items such as spices and other items for cooking, foil, and extra rolls of paper towels.
4.0
We watched whales and turtles from our deck everyday. The location is amazing but the house could use a little TLC. It was enough space for all of us both inside and outside.
5.0
We loved staying here! The views and sound of the ocean absolutely cannot be beat. The location is great and very close to both Poipu and Shipwreck beaches. We stayed in January and except for one particularly warm day, did not miss the A/C. While we would agree with some other reviewers that certain parts of the property could use updating, we found the place to be very clean and the furnishings comfortable. The house was VERY well equipped with anything you might need for a beach vacation, such as boogie boards, snorkeling gear, chairs, etc. We have small kids and were also impressed with the assortment of kids’ items, including a high chair, pack n’ play, even baby gates to block the stairs. Overall, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if/when we return to Kauai!
3.0
The views from this property are the best! The house needs a lot of TLC and updating and lots of creatures inside like roaches, lizards and ants as none of the doors or screens close tight so they can all just walk in whenever. Second level is extremely hot with no AC and does not cool down until around midnight. Having said all of that there was plenty of room and being on the ocean and listening to the waves was fantastic.
1.5
Rated as 3 stars, location and view are a 5, interior of the home is a 3.
We loved the view, watching the wave action hitting the cliff side, the turtles that visited every day, and proximity to the beaches, a short walk.
The downside is the home needs to address their maintenance issues. A small cost and effort would greatly improve the experience. Specifically, deep cleaning of the home, repair/replace window coverings (some are broken snd some are missing), sliding door and window tracts need cleaning for ease to operate, some furniture needs replacement/repair and some a cleaning.
Certainly the value of this home is the location, exceptional view of the sea-life, sunsets and night sky.
5.0
This house had everything we wanted for a total Kauai experience. The view is outstanding for whales, dolphins, turtles and sunset. Quick walk to the beach for great swimming, surfing and snorkeling. Comfortable beds, clean. Well stocked kitchen. Beach gear including towels all provided. Had a couple of minor issues like coffee pot that were resolved very quickly by the very friendly staff. This is an older, classic house with some wear, but perfect for what we wanted. We didn't want to leave. Mahalo!

Location is amazing, view of the ocean is outstanding, with daily spotting a of whales, turtles, even a seal swimming by! Lots of room for our family of 12 to enjoy. The electrical in the house needs work with several lamps not working, otherwise, it was absolutely perfect!

I have been returning to this house for the past six years twice a year. I love this house so much. It’s beautiful charm, location, and comfort ability has everything that you could possibly dream of. Can’t wait to come back!

Location, Location, Location - The only thing that would have made this house better in my opinion would be air conditioning. I was under the impression that several rooms had AC, but it was only the studio that had outdoor access. The home was very uncomfortable during the day in July. Luckily, we found ourselves out and about most days. The evening cooled off enough to sleep comfortably.
Enough complaining, this place is magnificent, I have been home one day and already miss the ocean waves crashing on the shore. Not sure how I will ever sleep well again without them it was hypnotic. The home has 3 bedrooms with king beds and the studio with king bed and two twin beds in a room with curtains which is perfect for 2 kids. There is also the loft which was my room this is also the hottest part of the house, but the views and the private deck made it worth it to me. if I travel with a large party to Koloa again, I will try and get this home.
Our two weeks here included a lot of short walks to Poipu beach. Early morning and sunsets walks were worth the trip all by themselves. I highly recommend Koloa zip lines, and Island Helicopters. The Jurassic Landing tour was amazing and more than I expected. Our fishing trip was on rough waters so you don't want my opinion on that (lol). Aloha and Mahalo to Vacasa for providing this home!
4.0
We really enjoyed our week here on Kauai. Having a 2-level porch/deck overlooking the cliffs and ocean just can't be beat. The beds were very comfortable and the 9 of us had what we needed. The dining table seated us all and we enjoyed several meals there.. The kitchen had what we needed, but the ice maker was very slow. There are some issues where paint and repairs are needed, two of the sliding doors are quite difficult to slide and some cooling in the main house would be nice. It gets rather warm in the afternoon, but the ceiling fans and free standing fans do help and it does cool off in the evening.
Having a home in FL we know about bugs and keeping them at bay. However we found more cockroaches in our week here than we do in a year in FL. Perhaps a new extermination service could do better.
Overall, the pros outweigh the cons by a good margin. We would consider staying here again.

What a beautiful home! I loved all the options of where to sit and relax inside and outside. The landscape was gorgeous and so nice to be near some amazing beaches too.

This is the best home we have ever stayed at in all of our travels. We had all of our adult kids with us and we didn’t want to leave. The view is unmatched and my favorite part is sitting in the porch with a morning cup of coffee. The house is well equipped and very welcoming and comfortable.

Fantastic home
Our family of 7 (all adults) throughly loved Hale Moku 🌴 Plenty big enough for every one to have their own BR with attached bath, table space for family meals and games. The view is beyond fantastic, with daily turtle sightings right off the balcony. Loved EVERY minute and truly hated leaving. Hope to be back soon

LOCATION!
This is as advertised. Plan to spend a lot of time on the balcony watching the waves. We saw dolphins, rays, and humpbacks. Even schools of fish off the side. Some of the appointments are dated, but they have done a nice job with personality pieces. Like every rental I've done in Hawaii, the light switches are impossible to find and the house needs updates, but it is a fabulous price and the advertised rates are fair. Strong recommendation.

The views are amazing all around the home. Turtles and dolphins visited the property shores everyday we stayed at the property.
Thank you for contributing to a great vacation with this home.

5 Star Location and Views
We (three adult couples) scored 5 stars above solely for the perfect location of this house and the absolutely magnificent views. We sat on the deck every morning and evening and watched whales breach and sea turtles play in the cove below and the stunning sunrises and sunsets. We easily walked to Poipu Beach or caught the trail along the ocean to Shipwreck Beach and beyond. Beach towels, umbrellas and beach chairs were available for our use. The kitchen was supplied well with dishes, glasses, pots, pans, etc. The house is very private and we could not hear anything but the crashing waves and rooster every morning. Sadly, if we score the condition of the house, it would be about 2-3 stars. The house was definitely clean but needs some serious TLC. Many of the glass shutters on the windows don't work, some are missing. Some of the furniture was in sad shape, stuffing falling out of bottom of dining chairs, had to sit on pillows on these chairs to not feel like we would fall through. The electrical throughout the house was a mystery, many switches don't work and other switches and fan remotes turned on lights and fans in other locations. Some bathrooms, kitchen cabinets and other areas had serious mildew smells. Outside the decks and railings needed TLC and one railing leading down to a patio by the cove was downright dangerous having come loose. Deck chairs were usable but not in good shape. Vacasa could have supplied more soaps and shampoos in every bathroom as there was only enough for a couple of days. We fully understand how much maintenance it takes to keep up a property sitting right on the ocean, but they have let some maintenance go for way too long. It sounds like we had a miserable time, but we had a fabulous vacation there! As I started with, the views and location made up for a lot of deficiencies, probably one of the best locations in Poipu, it just needs some TLC.

Awesome
One of the great things about this home is its fabulous location. Sitting atop the rocky coastline with the waves crashing just feet below is hard to beat. We spent hours sitting on the balcony watching for turtles below and whales further out. The night sky was beautiful. The home itself easily accommodated our family of eight and was very comfortable. One or two things could do with some TLC, but we still enjoyed our stay and would return again in the future.

Great Location, Gorgeous View, No AC
We loved this home. This home is located in the best location on the island. The only set back was the main house has no AC. At night it was very nice, the winds are sufficient to cool the home. During the day the house is way too hot. We would stay again if they get AC.

Unforgettable!
Location was fantastic and we’d stay here again for sure. The electrical seems a bit off. Turn on one fan another turns off. Lights flickered also. Electrical should be checked out. Small maintenance on screens for doors and windows could be beneficial. Otherwise excellent house, unbelievable location and view!

Our family of 6 had an amazing week making lifelong memories at this special property. The house was perfect for us. Everyone had plenty of room to spread out, but also great options for spending time together as well. My husband and I started every morning before the kids woke up sipping coffee together and appreciating the stunning views from the lower patio. Everywhere you look on this property there is beauty...from the gorgeous ocean to the plants and flowers on the grounds. We were simply blown away. Special touches from the staff made us feel more like guests than renters. Everything we needed for enjoying meals together and fun beach days was provided. Every detail was perfect!! Thank you so much! Is it too soon to plan our next visit? ;-). This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Hale Moku should be renamed to the Turtle Sanctuary! This home gave us so many special memories. Between coming out to the lanai every morning with coffee to watch the turtles, the 30 dolphins swimming by, putting on a true show for us, to the sunsets and waves crashing - it was a magical place to enjoy my birthday with family & friends. We grilled steaks & lobster one night under the stars and the house had everything we needed to have a dinner at home for all 8 of us. Beach accessories were provided, tons of local markets, shopping & beaches SO close - this was such a convenient landing spot for the week. I really don`t think it could have been better. There`s a really nice trail that goes up to shipwreck beach that we walked in the mornings along with tasty restaurants nearby with tons of variety. With only AC in the studio apartment, we utilized the bajillion windows & fans to create plenty of crosswinds for comfortable sleeping and constant sounds of the ocean. 100% recommend time and time again. There`s no replicating a home like this one - it truly has EVERYTHING! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Amazing location right on the water, one of a few private homes on Pe`e Road which has mainly condos. 5 mins walk to Brennecke`s beach and Poipu beach, as well as 10 mins walk to Shipwreck beach. Driving distance to restaurants, shops and Poipu Beach Club. The kitchen was really well supplied with cookware, plates, tupperware and has new appliances (stove/oven/micro, fridge). We used the oven and grill many times. Lots of beach gear as well, and a new washer and dryer. Lots of room for our family of 5 and another family of 3.

Last summer we traveled to Kauai for a wedding of a friend. Many of us stay at this property and it was perfect. We were close to beaches, food, and all other island amenities. The house is big, open, and easy to relax or host dinners at. It comes with many items to make your stay fun and comfortable. I highly suggest renting this property through GVR.
