Breathtaking, magnificent, superlative, sublime: there’s simply no way to overstate the extraordinary appeal of this uniquely situated, strikingly beautiful oceanfront estate. Hale O Ka Nalu Po'i (poetically named for the waves that crash dramatically against lava-rock cliffs) offers all the irresistible features you’d expect to find in a tropical paradise, and more. Every inch of the expansive acre-plus lot is idyllic, and inviting: the velvety, verdant lawns; the sparkling azureswimming pool and whirlpool spa, partially shaded by breeze-ruffled heliotrope trees; the sinuous bluffs overlooking pellucid tide pools and a beguiling little beach that’s often visited by stately sea turtles.

The custom-designed villa—a picturesque cluster of airy, peaked-roof pavilions connected by marble walkways—evokes the timeless elegance of a seaside palazzo, with every window framing a dazzling view. Each of the three charming bedrooms adjoins an en-suite bath, and opens onto its own comfortably furnished lanai. This oceanfront home embodies the essence of ‘Island Casual’ living, with a focus on relaxation and the breathtaking beauty of its direct ocean views; a perfect spot for those seeking an authentic and unpretentious island experience. Living areas, including the spacious great room and a chef-friendly kitchen, are crowned with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, and the 'Island Style' décor is enhanced throughout by engagingly eclectic works of art. And when it’s time to venture beyond the enchanting borders of Hale O (as it’s called, fondly), all the famous South Shore attractions—beaches, dining, shopping, adventures—are just a short drive away!

    We had a wonderful stay in Kauai and are so glad we chose this property. It is a very special beachfront house with a uniquely large and private yard. The views and ocean access are incredible, and we loved the convenient location.The house is well-built and thoughtfully designed, featuring numerous charming elements, including several patios, interesting artwork and gardens, and lovely lighting for the landscape and coastline. The kitchen, however, is very dated and was not pleasant to cook in – not what we would expect at this rental price point. In our opinion, it is well overdue for new cabinets, appliances, and lighting. The lack of air conditioning (other than in the primary bedroom) was also an issue during our stay, given the weather conditions with temperatures that never dropped below 72F. We utilized the fans and windows as much as possible, but the main rooms and second and third bedrooms were often uncomfortable.That said, we would be happy to stay there again – it would be hard to find another place that compares to the stunning location, unique features, and tranquility of this home. We hope that the owners will make the needed investments to maintain it as the first-class property it was designed to be.

    Property has 3 buildings connected by covered walk ways. It is a one of a kind property that is nestled on the Pacific. The master has one building. The kitchen, living room, dining and laundry are in the main building. The other two bedrooms - one king and 2 twins - are in an other building. Only the master has AC. The other bedrooms have ceiling fans and stand alone rotating fans. The house is wonderfully equipped and the VRBO management extremely responsive! The bedroom linens are very high quality and are vey laundered. Unfortunately this massive beauty is showing her age. The washer and dryer need replacing. The top closing hinge is almost rusted through and had our clothes trap then we could n’t get the washer to start. Fortunately we were able to get it into the correct position to finish the rest of the laundry. There are places in the kitchen around the pull out trash that need touch up paint. The house could use a freshen up from the aging patio furniture cushions to the stoves.

    This house is more beautiful than the photos… it is a breathtaking property and I highly recommend it. The air conditioning is in the master bedroom only. If you open all of the doors the other rooms are comfortable with fans.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an amazing property! From the moment we walked in to the day we left, we had the best experience. We were there celebrating our small family, and we did a gender reveal with 30 friends and family watching remotely. This property has everything from sea turtles, sea lions, spouting horn, and surfing right at your doorstep. It is the perfect location to get to all areas of the island.a few items to note: the AC is only in the master bedroom and during peak hours I’m sure the house will be very warm. We were there in early May and had a nice breeze through the main house and 2 other bedrooms. The house is a bit dated, but the property and views make up for it. The kitchen needs a facelift but it does have all the pots, pans, blenders, utensils, lots of good spices, 3 coffee makers including a nespresso, keurig, and regular drip.Overall I can’t say enough about this house. The property is truly exceptional and it was the best family vacation.

    A truly unique house on unmatched oceanfront land. Enjoy the sounds of the crashing waves day and night, and the bellow of the Spouting Horn blowhole right next door. Each room of this house is a separate building, with covered connecting walkways. Access from the year to a beach with sea turtles every day (as many as seven at a time) and an occasional monk seal. We've stayed here two years in a row and have already booked for next year.

    Our first visit to Hawaii. Breathtaking! The best place to be was in the backyard. This was a bucket list trip for us. We would visit again in a heartbeat (if we could afford it!).

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location of this property can not be beat. Very private with well maintained grounds and sea turtles and Spouting Horn viewing right from the lawn. Very conveniently located to see any sights on the island. A few notes about the interior: the furniture is very dated (uncomfortable) and the kitchen desperately needs an upgrade. But the beds were very comfy and the master suite was lovely. Also the kitchen and house were stocked with everything you would need. The air conditioning in the primary bedroom was much appreciated but it can get warm in the rest of the house. We weren't spending too much time indoors so this didn't limit us from having a relaxing and enjoyable time at this property. But it would be A++ with a few investments by the property owner.

    ADVANTAGES Endless private oceanfront Covered patios everywhere Seamless arrival and departure Spotless Responsive management company Wailani NEUTRAL Decor is dated but we'll maintained Kitchen and laundry well stocked - no shortage of paper towels, soaps etc DISADVANTAGES AC is ONLY in master bedroom - so master bathroom, main rooms, 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are hot at night, even with windows open and the breeze. No AC in kitchen means any produce outside fridge will spoil overnight. The property is advertised as Air conditioning but you have to read in the fine print to see it's only in the Master bedroom (not in master bathroom), and this was a very bad surprise on arrival. For the price it should include AC in the whole house.
