We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. The house is walking distance to some of the best beaches in the world. I would absolutely stay here again. One thing we didn’t realize is that even when booking with VRBO, we still worked with a third party management company. It didn’t hinder our stay at all but I wasn’t expecting another company to reach out to me asking for my payment information, etc. I like the ease of booking through the app and communicating through the app. ##### Betsy M.

When we got in, and it was 4:30 our time, we felt so grateful to be able to go to sleep, and wake up in a familiar place to the swaying palms and roosters. Heaven. Our little beach is just a short walk, and i dream of coming back. House is so well equipped and we had dinner each night on the porch. Absolutely amazing stay!!! ##### Carla H.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Deep in the jungle, far away from the world, Hale Pua Kai is the perfect retreat from the world for 2 guests. We have visited many times and will continue to. Its a 10 minute drive to Hanalei for shops, breakfast lunch or dinner but if you’re not inclined, you never have to leave. The beach is right across the road and from there you can hike in either direction for your perfect spot. End of the road is nearby too. But you need a reservation to visit Ke’e beach during the day or go on the trail. Plan ahead...Hale pua kai has everything you need for a real vacation- natural beauty everywhere, the best napping soundscape in planet eartg, gentle trade winds, sunny days, starry nights. This is pure soul rejuvenation. ##### Joel S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### William S. Nov 27, 2023 #### Nice, but... Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was pretty much as described...a cottage in the rain forest. North Kauai is beautiful, but be prepared for rain. On a rainy day the cottage is especially dark. It can be quite cool inside on those days, too. Previous guests mentioned the mgmt. company as being unresponsive. We found this to be true, too, after the booking was completed. TV remotes still needed batteries, all the outdoor candles lacked wicks, and our texts went unanswered. Also, as previously mentioned furniture looked tired. Bed, however, was comfortable. ##### William S. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Sep 26, 2023 #### Almost Perfect Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This sweet little house is a gem. Old school, Hawaiian charm. We loved the privacy and the casual setting, the outdoor shower, the beach umbrella and chairs, the covered porch in the rain, and most of all the LOCATION. We walked to the beach every day, and even walked to Haena State Park to hike to Hanakapiai. It was awesome. That said, there are some big things to note. The place does not have a hotel room safe, which it needs and we requested to no avail. The old louvered windows (very necessary for ventilation) just don’t lock securely. We took our valuables (iPhones, wallets, iPad etc) to the beach every day, which meant we could not snorkel together. It was a major bummer. From personal experience (at a different rental on the same street) we no longer leave valuables unlocked or unattended. The tv remote failed a few days in to the trip, and it was never really addressed. We only missed tv a little for news. But it might have mattered to someone else a bit more. The house also needs just a deep cleaning/detailing. The bedroom drapes need cleaning, or better yet replacing. The bed and pillows need a refresh too. And it does not have a comfortable living room. There are only chairs with an ottoman and a chaise. Neither are comfortable, and you can’t cuddle up with your companion. And the upholstery is very tired. We covered it with the extra cotton blankets in the armoire, after we first washed them. It wouldn’t take much to upgrade the house just a little bit. It needs it. It deserves it. It’s a special, special place. We had fun imagining how great the simple improvements would make it.. My husband and I have rented many, many homes in Haena over the last 15 years. I started out as a backpacker to Kalalau and camper at Haena Beach Park in 1985\. It’s the most magical place on earth, and we leave our hearts there every time we have to depart. Mahalo to the owner of this home for letting us enjoy Haena. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Kauai Coast at the Beachboy](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Kauai-Coast-At-The-Beachboy.h19414.Hotel-Information) > > [Kauai Shores Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Kauai-Shores-Hotel.h9733.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels.d178315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Beach Villas at Ko Olina by Real Select Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-The-Beach-Villas-At-Ko-Olina-By-Real-Select-Vacations.h27094352.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Cuba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Cuba-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d44-tGolfHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Oahu-At-Ko-Olina.h6910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Montreal-Montreal-Hotels.0-n6058201-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hyatt Place Kelowna](https://www.expedia.ca/Kelowna-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Kelowna.h45846720.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton O‘ahu, Turtle Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Kahuku-Hotels-Turtle-Bay-Resort.h470837.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Guilford Town Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Guilford-Town-Centre-Hotels.0-l6134369-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Disney Aulani One Bedroom Poolside Villa!](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Disney-Aulani-One-Bedroom-Poolside-Villa.h63165700.Hotel-Information) > > [Lae Nani Kauai](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Lae-Nani-Resort-Kauai-By-Outrigger.h40406.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Kauai Coconut Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Sheraton-Kauai-Coconut-Beach-Resort.h25681.Hotel-Information) > > [Waipouli Beach Resorts & Spa Kauai by OUTRIGGER](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Waipouli-Beach-Resorts-Spa-Kauai-By-Outrigger.h1541115.Hotel-Information) > > [Plantation Hale Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapaa-Hotels-Plantation-Hale-Suites.h6655.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Ko'Olina Coconut Plantation Oahu, 2-Story, 5 min to beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Luxury-Koolina-Coconut-Plantation-Oahu.h22395259.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bangkok](https://www.expedia.ca/Suvarnabhumi-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aBKK-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Marriott's Ko'Olina Beach Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Kapolei-Hotels-Marriotts-KoOlina-Beach-Club.h910988.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/phx/calgary-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from South Burlington (BTV) to Orlando (MCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/btv/mco/burlington-to-orlando) > > [Flights from Regina (YQR) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqr/ywg/regina-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cdg/calgary-to-paris) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyj/toronto-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/cpt/halifax-to-cape-town) > > [Flights from Bellingham (BLI) to San Diego (SAN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bli/san/bellingham-to-san-diego) ### General
