This lovely hilltop villa, Hale Makani Nui, or House of Strong Wind, is delightfully elevated, in every sense of the word. Its picturesque placement at the crown of a gently sloping lot gives an enchanting estate-like feel to the entire property, while also providing expansive sea-and-sunset views. The dramatic approach, flanked by plush lawns and pygmy palms, ascends to a beautiful home with graceful, soaring lines and a sage-painted façade that seems to echo the luxuriant tropical foliage all around.

Inside, the spacious, impeccably comfortable rooms, furnished in elevated-plantation style with an artful mix of luminous antiques and contemporary accessories, flow seamlessly onto inviting lanais that showcase sparkling views of blue horizon and vividly colorful sunsets. Pleasant surprises and bonus features abound: a mountain-view executive office; 2 refreshing outdoor showers; and a Jacuzzi® on the lanai near the living room, to name a few. As for location, world-famous Poipu beaches, golf courses, and hiking trails are a quick drive away, along with an appealing array of restaurants, shops, and activities. Convenience + comfort + charm: a classical equation that, in this case, equals a perfectly idyllic stay on the spectacular South Shore!

    A Perfect Kauai GetawayWhat a beautiful home! It exceeded every expectation and made our stay in Kauai truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how exceptionally clean and well-maintained everything was. The property is absolutely beautiful, with stunning tropical landscaping and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the island atmosphere.The host was outstanding, providing excellent communication before and throughout our stay. Every question was answered promptly, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.The gourmet kitchen was a dream and stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals, whether it was a quick breakfast before heading out or a relaxing dinner at home after a day of adventure. Thoughtful touches throughout the home made it feel welcoming and comfortable.One of the highlights was the Jacuzzi. After long days exploring the incredible beaches, hiking trails, and scenic beauty of Kauai, soaking in the Jacuzzi was exactly what we needed to unwind and recharge.This vacation home offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and convenience. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional place to experience the beauty of Kauai. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

    This is probably the nicest property we have ever stayed in. The back faces the Kiahuna Golf Course and the front a a beautiful view of surrounding foliage with the ocean in the background. The house has everything we needed and is fabulously furnished. Great care has gone into making this house feel like home. And then there’s the lanai with the jacuzzi!!! We sat out there most of the time. We are a family of six and it was so perfect. Close to everything in Poipu, Koloa and Lihue. Short drive to Waimea Canyon. I usually won’t go through a rental company but Wailani Kauai was great to work with. Would use them again.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The deck makes this property! It’s so spacious with sea views and a comfortable seating area, hot tub and dining section with BBQ. The home is well set up, with everything we needed for the beach (chairs, umbrellas). Bedrooms were spacious and everything was clean and organized. Although it’s a drive to the beaches and restaurants, it wasn’t far, but a car is essential.

    This house is beautiful and comfortable. We had 3 adult couples and two kids and it was the perfect size. It is on the golf course and relatively quiet during the day and peaceful at night. Not a lot of traffic driving by since it's at the end of the road. We were worried about not having AC in the main area, but opening the windows and doors to the deck creates a cross breeze that makes it comfortable even during the day. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Lots of beach towels and chairs to take to the beach or on scuba/snorkel. Hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day of activities. I highly recommend this house. We had no complaints.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There seven adults and two children staying for a week and could not have asked for a better place to stay. From the moment we arrived we were so glad we chose Wailani Kauai as our “home” for the next seven days. The kitchen was well furnished - everything we needed was top of the line. Each bedroom had a great level of comfort. Beds were comfortable- plenty of places to store clothing. The lanai was absolutely fabulous with plenty of seating and a wonderful view. Within walking distance to beaches and shopping. The neighborhood felt extremely safe. Would definitely stay here again.

    Our family of 7 stayed here for 10 days and enjoyed every moment. The view from the lanai, the comfy beds and couches and the close proximity to Poipu Beach and Koloa… The house was stocked with everything we needed. And, the communication with the management company was excellent. They’d respond immediately. Highly recommend this place for a large family or several couples.

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house is gorgeous, spacious, with a beautiful view in every direction. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and found the beds were very comfortable. Everything was luxurious. We were a short walk from the beaches, and a short drive to fun food and coffee. The management team was extremely responsive when we needed some help. We would definitely recommend this house.

    The house was large, well-supplied, and very comfortable. The great room had a breeze all day, and the connected lanai was wonderful for coffee in the quiet of the early mornings - not even too many roosters! The master suite was incredible with a firm bed that felt brand new. The little office on the main floor with computer hookups and a big leather chair to relax in just made the vacation for my husband. The rest of us enjoyed the breezy psithurism and the flower-laden scent of petrichor. I do need to mention the stairs, though. Yes, they were perfectly obvious in the photos so I can't say they were a surprise, but for several aging seniors, they really were quite a climb. Mahalo for a lovely holiday.
