Summary:

Gather your family or group at Hale Moku, a spacious oceanfront home perched above Kauai's spectacular Poipu coastline. Enjoy panoramic Pacific views from multiple lanais, four bedrooms in the main house, three en suite bathrooms, a separate attached studio, and generous indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. Watch turtles, monk seals, whales, and sunsets from home, with Poipu Beach just a short walk away.



The Space:

Hale Moku offers a rare combination of space, privacy, oceanfront scenery, and an exceptional Poipu location.



The home is dramatically positioned above the Pacific on a lava-rock cliff, giving guests expansive views of the South Shore and plenty of opportunities to enjoy Kauai's famous oceanfront sunsets.



Indoor Living



The main living area provides comfortable gathering space for families and groups, with large windows framing the Pacific. The fully equipped kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a generous island, making it easy to prepare meals together.



A dining table surrounded by windows provides a beautiful setting for meals, while additional outdoor dining areas let you enjoy the scenery from the lanai.



Bedrooms & Sleeping



The main house includes four bedrooms, with three featuring en suite bathrooms.



The attached studio provides additional flexibility with a king bed, sofa bed, private bathroom, and air conditioning. This separate space can be particularly convenient for grandparents, couples, or guests who want additional privacy.



The overall layout accommodates up to 14 guests and works especially well for extended families, multigenerational groups, reunions, and groups of friends.



Outdoor Experience



The ocean is the centerpiece of Hale Moku.



Multiple lanais provide different places to gather, relax, dine, or simply enjoy the scenery. Guests may see Hawaiian green sea turtles and monk seals in the water below, and during whale season, humpback whales can sometimes be spotted offshore.



Sunset is especially memorable from this location, and the unobstructed setting also offers excellent opportunities for stargazing after dark.



Location



Hale Moku is located in Poipu on Kauai's sunny South Shore.



Poipu Beach is within walking distance and offers opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, and relaxing on the beach. Restaurants, shopping, golf, and other South Shore attractions are also conveniently nearby.



After exploring Kauai, return to the house and enjoy the rare luxury of having a spectacular oceanfront setting all to yourselves.



Important Information



The main house does not have air conditioning. It is designed to take advantage of natural ocean breezes and has ceiling fans and portable fans. The attached studio does have air conditioning.



Hale Moku is an older Kauai home with authentic island character. Guests primarily choose this property for its exceptional oceanfront location, expansive views, generous space, multiple outdoor living areas, and proximity to Poipu Beach.



Guest Access:

This oceanfront home in Koloa offers a private entrance and patio, with ocean front and beach front views right outside. A garden backyard and private outdoor seating make it easy to relax, and the near ocean location puts the beach within easy walking distance.



The Neighborhood:

Poipu is a sunny south shore beach town with options for every kind of water day. Poipu Beach Park's calmer swimming coves are a favorite for families, while nearby Shipwreck Beach offers a wilder shoreline and dramatic cliffs. The area is also good for a morning snorkel, a sunset walk, and the chance to spot Hawaiian monk seals resting on the sand. Restaurants, shops, and resort dining are close, with Old Koloa Town a short drive inland for local history and food. This part of Kauai is warm, accessible, and easy to enjoy without a packed schedule, making it a natural fit for a large group balancing beach time with time together.



Getting Around:

Lihue Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away, a pretty drive across Kauai's south shore. A rental car is recommended to reach Poipu's beaches, Koloa town's shops, and nearby dining with ease. Old Koloa Town is walkable for boutiques and restaurants, while beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. Parking is generally available on site or in small lots around town.



Other Things to Note:

Only the attached studio includes air conditioning. This property is managed by Heavenly Vacations.



Interaction with Guests:

Our local Heavenly Vacations Kauai team is just a call or message away throughout your stay. We are always happy to share our favorite places to enjoy on the Garden Isle, and we are here to help right away should any issue arise. We respect your privacy and are here whenever you need us.

    This house was perfect for our vacation! It was big enough for our whole family, the beds were comfortable and it has amazing views of the ocean!! We saw turtles from the house every day.

    The property had the most amazing views of any property I’ve ever stayed at anywhere. It was centrally located to all the restaurants, and there were nearby beaches that were perfect for our group.

    Lovely setting. Great communications with all. Kitchen not well stock with things like can opener to open bottle/can. Spices minimal. Place could use maintenance and rehab but we understand it’s for sale for 30 million. Simple things like hooks in bathroom for wet towels. Dishwasher very touchy to operate. Washer and dryer fabulous! Please know we would come back again. We had a blast. The above is simple thing.

    The property was not as expected. The house needs to be gutted and modernized furniture is old in living room cannot sit on sofa without numerous pillows to support your back. There is no air conditioning in the main house and when we arrived the small apartment the air conditioning did not work. It had to be replaced the service that helps with the house were very responsive light switches don’t work on some areas especially over the stairs. The windows leak especially over the stairs to the point we were putting towels on the stairs and changing every hour to catch the water the house is not clean due to the fact everything is worn and can’t get any cleaner. There is paint missing on doors and windows when we arrived the refrigerator was not functioning and almost lost all of the food we had just bought if we had not had the refrigeration in the small apartment. The dryer would does not get hot to dry towels. Had to run multiple times tried hot and medium setting still did not work. In loft bathroom there is a family of bugs that hung out each day. They need to get the place sprayed and toilet sets are loose. The thing going for this property is the view which is amazing

    The view and property location was fabulous. The home was very clean. We saw whales, dolphins and lots of turtles from the deck. We also saw the green flash because the view is so expansive. The easy walk to Poipu beach was very convenient and increased our groups flexibility.

    The view alone would get this house 5 stars! Waking up every morning to look out from the patio to the waves crashing on the shore, beautiful sunrise over the water, and sea turtles galore! We even saw spinner dolphins from the house! A quick walk down to the bech to play in the water, using their provided boogie boards and snorkels was amazing! Very clean and accommodated my whole family. Having separated and defined sleeping areas as well as places we could gather as a large group was incredible. We could have just stayed there the whole time with how relaxed and welcoming it felt. Next time we go to Kauai, we will stay here again!

    We had such a great and memorable two weeks here! The house and view was amazing. Although we explored the island, we did have a couple chill days at the house, and it was amazing to be surrounded by such natural beauty. We were able to comfortably use the kitchen and enjoy both the outdoor and indoor eating areas. We used the grill a couple times as well, and it was incredible to be staring at the ocean while barbecuing. And every night we ended our day with an amazing view of the ocean and the night sky, whether from the deck or the side patio. Every room in the house was able to hear the crashing waves as we slept. We absolutely loved staying here and would totally do it again!

    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!

    I just wish we would have booked it for longer, description does not mention it but it had a lot of snorkel gears, beach chairs , umbrellas. Overall the views and location makes up for home being a bit rusty, as a family we just lived waking up to turtles swimming around while we sipped our morning coffee and enjoyed sunset from the same balcony in the evening

    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!

    Unfortunately, this was not the experience that I thought that we would have had at Hale Moku. The house is on a beautiful piece of property, but it is in need of many improvements and updates including air conditioning, window amenities, painting, and replacement of worn out items..

    We loved the home! The views were amazing. We watched turtles and whales every day from the deck!! Each of our kids had their own space. The great dining room table fit us all so we could gather in the morning and the evening!! 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!! Also umbrellas were great to bring to the beach. We would rent here again!!

    The house was more than accommodating for our needs with 6 of us and the view was breathtaking! 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.
