The homes decor was very appropriate and very eclectic . We loved it. The private studio for the family with the infant was so perfect!! The home had 2 boogie boards a surf board and chairs!!

It was close to the beach and restaurants. Negatives: the garbage disposal didn’t work, some of the windows and blinds didn’t work, the oven in the guest house didn’t work, one of the showers didn’t work (the hot water handle just spun around). These are just small things that were inconveniences, but we would definitely stay again. ##### Dennis T. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sherry D.

May 29, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Hale Moku, beautiful property that needs improvements. Unfortunately, this was not the experience that I thought that we would have at Hale Moku.The house is on a beautiful piece of property. On the outside it looks great. But on the inside, it wasn’t what we were expecting. Especially for the price. When you get to the “front” sliding door, there aren’t any lights so it was hard to get the key and open the door.On the VRBO listing, it states that the house is air conditioned. It is not an air conditioned house! There is a separate room air conditioned with a small and aged unit.Without any air conditioning in the main part of the house, you use glass louver windows. Even though the sound of the waves during the day is nice, it isn’t at night when you have all of the windows open because the house is so hot! There were at least 3 windows that didn’t have shades on them.The kitchen had very minimal supplies and the plates were mismatched sets of old plates. The sheets were not as crisp and clean as you would normally have, but the beach towels were clean. But the one of the worst discoveries was a pair of dusty shorts underneath one of the twin beds that had been there awhile.We had an encounter with a large wasp and other bugs that I am assuming might be termites? The day before we left the house next door was tented for pest control. The outside decks are needing boards to be replaced. On a lower patio section there was a broken chair.Air conditioning and some repairs would improve this property! ##### Cathleen C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward G. Jun 9, 2019 #### Super location, views, and amenities Recently stayed for several days with a party of seven and had a very nice visit. The positives: great location on the south side of the island, beautiful ocean views (sea turtles, surf), lots of room, and well-stocked (beach chairs, kitchen, gas grill, etc). On the more neutral side: no ac (except in one suite), but this was as-advertised and we knew this going in...and plentiful fans and breeze really helped, especially at night. also, on the neutral side, it's starting to get a little wear and tear, but nothing major...and we thought the positives outweighed this. thanks for a very nice stay! ##### Edward G. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Clara P. Aug 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Getaway 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. ##### Clara P.

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. ##### Daniel T. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jane Ann Minnis B. Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great location in neighborhood 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. ##### Jane Ann Minnis B.

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. ##### Karen F.

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. ##### Sandra M. Stayed 14 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kate O. Jan 17, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Check-in #### Amazing View - Funky House behind on maintenance 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. ##### Kate O. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Laura G. Apr 16, 2018 #### Beautiful views and location, but the house needs some work and pest control! We stayed at Hale Moku recently for our honeymoon and have both positive and negative reviews about the house. First the positive...the views! The house sits atop a beautiful cliff overlooking the ocean and the views don't disappoint. It was so peaceful to sit outside and watch the waves crash into the stones below, and our favorite part, spotting the abundance of giant sea turtles that like to hang out in the cove. It certainly beats any of the hotel "partial ocean views" that we kept coming across. The location was also a plus. It was conveniently located near lots of great beaches, shops and restaurants. The beds were also comfy, and as one reviewer also pointed out, you could hear the ocean from any room in the house. They also provide all the beach gear you could need like chairs, towels, coolers, umbrellas and even snorkel gear. That was a huge plus! Although the location and views were amazing, the house could use renovation work. Much of it was outdated which in turn made it feel somewhat dirty. I'm sure the cleaning crew did a good job preparing the house as best they could, but the bathrooms and kitchen especially felt unclean given how old they were. And the worst part for us...all the bugs. Immediately when we arrived we couldn't find a bed in the house that wasn't covered in dead gnats/flies with many, many more flying around the lights. I read beforehand that this was a problem on Kauai so I could overlook it. As the week went on, not only were the flies a problem every day - accumulating all over the floors and sheets - but we also ended up killing several of the biggest cockroaches I've ever seen! The house also has a big terminate problem. We spotted them all over the place but you can also tell by the rotting wood on the outside decks. I don't think anyone would tolerate terminates & ants at the hotels on the island, especially given the money you spend to stay here. I don't like to end on a negative so I will also say our communication with GVR was good. They were always very responsive and friendly and offered to have someone come out to assess the pest situation, even though we declined given we didn't want to deal with any bug bomb fumes during our stay. And because it was our honeymoon, they were kind enough to leave a bottle of champagne in the fridge for our arrival. All in all, beautiful views, location and friendly staff, but we likely would find a new location next time we visit Kauai. ##### Laura G. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsay R. Jun 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We loved our stay in Poipu! As others have said, this property’s location cannot be beat! Views were amazing, we saw turtles and more turtles! The location is fabulous and we loved walking down to the beach. The only downside was not having AC in the main house. There is a wall AC unit in the attached studio, and it worked great. Also, in response to some reviews I’d read that said it was rundown, I actually thought it was very clean and I loved some of the retro vibes/ decor throughout the house. There were some visible signs of wear and tear but those didn’t impact our stay. Check in was also super easy. With AC it would be a 5/5! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0a77d222-e375-46ec-90c4-147d691e4b49-1749598945606.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/71a2e0ce-28b3-437a-88b3-8a4da7de4d77-1749598945839.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e540d6a0-5ad8-497c-9671-a44259c01764-1749598944904.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/179d52e9-fa2d-41fc-b24a-7b671713efd4-1749598944752.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lindsay R.
