Perfect Holiday Getaway

Hale Makai is a gorgeous home(cottage) on the west side of Kauai. The tranquil space was the perfect home away from home as we adventured around the island. The hosts did an amazing job communicating with us both before and during our stay, promptly answering and mitigating any issues we may have had. The home is beautiful, the hot tub the patio, the lanai, the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were absolutely perfect. The location of the cottage is perfect for a more quiet home space. It's across the street from a beautiful black sand beach, a short drive to many white sand beaches with many other adventures within a maximum 1.5 hour drive. If you like to cook, and even if you don't, you will find everything you need at Hale Makai. The kitchen is so well equipped it was a pleasure to stay home and cook our meals. Locally sourced beef, fish and coffee were our favourites. The sunsets on the west side just down the road we were told are the best on the island. Take a walk or quick drive to Kekaha Beach Park for the sunsets and views of the Ni'Ihua (the forbidden island). We hope to return to the island and to Hale Makai someday. Mahalo

The location is great if you want nice quiet area with beaches and small towns close. If you are looking for touristy things to do, this is not your vibe.

Perfect beach house!

My husband and I stayed here for our ten year anniversary and spent a week relaxing on the couch or jacuzzi between our daily excursions! The kitchen was one of the best stocked rentals I’ve ever used! This helped keep meals on the cheaper side since we mostly only had to pay for lunches while we were out. We cooked everything else in the home. The fridge provided fresh filtered water and ice too! I am in love with the showers, from the stone tile to the water pressure! Traffic noise wasn’t a problem at all and the longer driveway makes it very private! The black sand beach is literally across the street and gorgeous for wave watching! We would absolutely stay again!

Wonderful house for a quiet, relaxing stay!!

This house was a wonderful stay, a perfect end to our vacation in Kauai. We wish we would have stayed here the entire week vs the few days we spent on the north shore. The local food, beer, and comforts of this home were perfect. We didn't use the hot tub but we would have if we stayed longer. The beds were super comfortable, the sofa was lovely, and the fans and AC were a welcome treat after a long hike. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the spices and oils you need for cooking.
