Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: loved the location. awesome. However, the maintenance on this property is poor due to (as explained by the management co) only having 4 hours between bookings to fix. When we arrived the bathroom door to our bathroom was broken, the Washing machine did not work, the main over head light and fan in the living room did not work. Also, the door to the utility area was broken. Additionally, we discovered, the irrigation runs everyday between 6 - 8 am so you cannot get to the beach without getting soaked, the deck get's sprayed in several places during breakfast so back away from the edges and be sure the bbq is covered. There is no outdoor shower. The box of beach things contained 2 sets of broken fins, and 4 beach chairs.It appears all condiments and spices are removed between guests so buy sugar, salt and pepper and any othe spices you need to cook with. ( We usually buy in Lihue on our way from the Airport so it would have been nice to know before we got there.) It really is a nice place but also a bit disappointing.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for a week in September celebrating our 10th anniversary and had a great stay. The house was one of the cleanest vacation rentals I have ever stayed in including a spotless grill-which is a tough thing to accomplish after a busy summer. We had one minor issue we needed assistance with and Garden Island Rentals sent someone over to help us out and took care of the issue. The pictures speak for themselves as far as the location-just steps to the beach! There were sea turtles at the end of the beach most days which was a nice bonus-they're not bison in Yellowstone so we didn't try to pet or ride them! There is ample outdoor seating on the lanai that was all in like-new condition as well. This was our third time staying with Garden Island Rentals and will definitely be back again. We had rented the same condo the last two trip and this house was well worth the upgrade. We would have already rebooked for next year but we are traveling to Alaska next year, so that will have to wait for 2025.

We loved everything about this home and will definitely be back! Sunsets are a perfect 10!!!! Only thing I would suggest is the beach out front is very rocky so I’d bring water shoes. We ended up running to Walmart (20 min away) and bought some for $10! Mornings were peaceful and quiet. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

Management absolutely wonderful. Very responsive. House is close to shops, restaurants and a number of snorkel/surf spots. You can actually do a little snorkeling right on Baby Beach. Needed to take recycling items to bins at Brennake Beach… super easy.

The ocean waves and the rooster crowing were the most lovely and relaxing sounds to fall asleep and wake up to. The house was cool, clean and great amenities. I can't wait for next year!

The clean and modest home is well appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We can’t wait to come back! Mahalo.

Perfect house, location & amenities. 5th time to Kauai -,first time at this wonderful home wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else next trip. House has a warm welcoming feel, stocked with everything you need to enjoy the ocean. Unbelievable view, great sunsets, nice uncrowded beach. Management company attentive.

We enjoy the view, the turtles that come ashore to rest, and the easy walk to restaurants and markets. We will be back!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely 6 days at this simple bungalow on Baby Beach. It was comfortably appointed with a balcony from which to watch the sunsets, a large expanse of lawn and direct beach access. Turtles would rest on the beach beneath our bungalow. Quite idyllic.

The photos and description say everything you need to know about this place. It's literally just a few steps from the sand on Baby Beach, where it's not only great for little kids, but the snorkeling is deceptively really good. It's also walking distance to the shopping center with Longs Drugs and many shops and restaurants. We ate take-out or cooked on location because the views just can't be beat. Why would you want to go anywhere, when you have the best access and views just outside your lanai? There are resident chickens, geckos, egrets, and many birds that come to enjoy the lawn. Turtles regularly swam up on the beach to rest and sunbathe. The interior is decorated nicely, good furniture and two bathrooms are nice for our family of four (two teenagers). Parking and access is easy, and Garden Isle Properties is great to work with. I noticed the coffee maker carafe was cracked and they had a brand new coffee maker for us on the front porch by the next day. Just outstanding service and communication.

We loved the ocean view and beach front access in a quiet neighborhood close to shopping and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again.

The location was wonderful! You can not beat the gorgeous views & sound of the ocean from all parts of the house. The covered lanai was a favorite spot for my family. The grounds were also beautiful & provided another fun area for play when not on the beach. The provided beach gear was another major plus. Working with Garden Islands was a great experience.
We definitely look forward to returning!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is right on Baby Beach. We were able to walk out and snorkel and even saw two sea turtles resting on the beach one day. The location was perfect for our family.

The management company was amazing. We were greeted with a bouquet of local flowers and a very detailed binder full of information. We had a few issues while staying and they responded immediately and resolved things quickly and with a gracious spirit.

As any rental, there are pros and cons. Location is great and house had beach chairs, body boards, beach umbrella and a variety of snorkeling gear (though we chose to rent our own). The house does not have air conditioning which was fine in April, between the winds and ceiling fans we were comfortable in the 70-80 degree weather but if you want AC this might not be the house for you. There was a gecko that got into the house and would chirp but we were assured that it was pretty common. We appreciated a full kitchen and washer and dryer. It's not the most up to date house in terms of style but everything was in good working order.

We loved it so much we booked it again for next year! We can't wait to return.

The house is modest but has everything you could need including a large selection of beach gear which was not advertised. The property is a very short walk away from a well equipped mall with many restaurants. The beach is perfect for little kids, bring water shoes as it does get rocky pretty quick.

Reviewer Comments: We have been returning year after year for approx..the last 20 years to Hale Kai or one of the other four property's located on this waterfront property. Any time we have had a concern or minor issue the property manager has been very quick to return or call and resolve the concern quickly. Great location and anyone that decided to book their vacation there will not be disappointed. We have already booked for 2023 for our next trip!

The location of this house is superb; we spent every morning on the lanai with our coffee, enjoying the sight and sounds of the waves. Baby Beach is not a great swimming beach for adults (very shallow, mostly rocky bottom) but it's great for kids and there's a long sandy strip to set up chairs. The beach is popular with locals and tourists, so be aware that you'll frequently see folks cutting across the lawn and on the beach in front of you. The sun on the lanai gets ferocious at about 3-4 pm, but there is a sun shade to cut down on some of the heat. The house is easy walking distance to a shopping center with some great take-out spots (Savage Shrimp!) and also some great restaurants (Beach House!), and we enjoyed getting food and bringing it back to the house for a fabulous dinner on the lanai. The house is well stocked with beach supplies (chairs, towels, snorkeling gear, boogie board, and even reef shoes) and kitchen supplies (real coffee maker, ice machine, all the cooking utensils & pots you might need), the beds are comfy, and the water pressure is good. Don't hesitate to book this place. It's great.

It was clean and well supplied with the basics (much more than any other home we've rented). It's right on the beach and perfect for families or couples. Well protected from the wind and large overhang for that 3-5 sun. We had zero problems and were totally pleased with our rental. Already booked for next year.

We’re making plans to come back already! One of the best locations on the island for your Poipu pleasure! Five stars, baby!

This is far and away the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. It's not the fanciest or newest or most technologically advanced, but that's kind of the point. This is an old school, cheery, relaxing beach house set on a pristine beach within walking distance of shopping, dining and surfing. I almost regret writing this review, as I really don't want others to find out how great this place is, but the owners and property management team were both excellent and both deserve high praise. The home is exactly as pictured in the listing, and the kitchen is very well equipped and even has a coffee grinder for those of you wanting to drink a fresh cup of Kauai grown coffee while you sit on the lanai and stare out at the ocean or stroll by the turtles hanging out on baby beach. My translation of Hale Kai? Heaven on earth. Mahalo.
