    The location is wonderful - so close to the beach. We really enjoyed the outside living space on the lower and upper decks. The kitchen had everything we needed.

    These back decks are fabulous, with three nice sitting areas. The large family room overlooks the lower deck, with views of both the bay as well as the lagoon.

    Couldn't be happier with our amazing long mother's day weekend at Hale Kai; the amazing location, setting and proximity to the beach, trails and amenities. Walking distance to restaurants... (highly recommend Lago De Como). Hale Kai has a very special vibe to it, quite chill and very inviting, the floor plan worked beautifully for us and our Santa Cruz family who found this to be the spot to hub out of for surfing, biking and beach walks. generous living and gathering spaces both in and outside. The outside decks and viewing veranda was definitely the party favorite and we all enjoyed a few meals al fresca with the view of the bay and sound of the surf. The full moon topped it all off making the entire journey quite magical, Aloha and Mahalo to our hosts.

    We loved the house and the location. Perfect for our little family vacation. Easy walk to the beach and you could see the ocean and beach from home. Great beach chairs that worked as back pack and could hold cold items as well.

    what a lovely little place...secret hidden gem for sure...absolutely loved the layout and the decor...instantly felt at home...tip - back into the driveway and it'll be easy peasy to pull out when you leave...the deck was amazing and the fire pit a plus...even laid out on the deck to get some sun privately...you have such great views and you are concealed from outside eyes...kitchen was large and had all the tools you'd need and more...we never used the dining room but it was spacious for large family meals for sure...its was a little oasis tucked behind a wall of greenery that was just heaven...easy walk down to the beach if you so desired...loved the mudd room and the electronic keyless entry...cant say enough great things about this property...
