Summary: My wife and I and our two older teen daughters have rented several other Haena properties in the past and highly recommend Hale Pulelehu’a! One of the cleanest properties we’ve ever rented, equipped with absolutely everything from kitchen equipment to beach chairs, toys, and snorkeling gear, a lovely backyard, great outdoor shower, and access to a secluded beach was just steps away. At this price you will not find a finer property on the North Shore of Kauai.

Summary: The location of this house was a dream come true. The beach path is directly across from the house. You can walk to Tunnels Beach from that beach. Neighborhood is very quiet with beautiful foliage. Plenty of space for 2 families. The beds were all very comfortable and loved how the master was separated from the other bedrooms so the kids had their own space. The upstairs outside dining area is where we spent all of our times with meals. There were plenty of chairs and boogie boards for us all. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Had a 5 star 2-week stay here!

Summary: We LOVED our stay here! We had excellent communication with the property owner every step of the way. The location is wonderful and the house is gorgeous. Tons of space, both inside and outside, nicely appointed, and stunning surrounds. We had everything we could have wanted and more, we were really impressed with all the kitchen and beach stuff available (what a nice surprise to have a salad spinner and a blender - those aren't always common in vacation house rentals! The beach chairs and umbrellas were awesome to have.) We would absolutely book this again. One item worth noting - there's a master bedroom suite that has one of the two full bathrooms. The other full bathroom and half bath are accessed through shared spaces. For our group of eight adults from four households, it made an even sharing of the two full bathrooms a bit awkward since one of the bathrooms had to be accessed through the master bedroom. It was fine and not a deal breaker at all but could make a difference depending on a group's dynamics and was a point of consternation for one of our more fussy travelers :) I can't say enough great things about this place though. We took beach walks every morning, we had incredible star gazing at night, we loved having both the upstairs and downstairs lanai to linger over coffee or cocktails. We loved that we were very close to town but far enough away to feel like kamaaina. MAHALO LUI, we hope to be back some time in the future!!

Summary: Don't hesitate to book here for your large group! We were so comfortable with all necessities and plenty of extras. Bill was very communicative, prompt and kind. An exemplary stay for our Father's 80th Birthday celebration!

Summary: This house was perfect for our week in Kauai. Spacious and everything works! As advertised, you are steps away from the beach. Good for walks and views, but too rough to swim/snorkel this time of year. We used the chairs and beach equipment A LOT. No surprises. Bill and his property manager are great communicators. I would love to come back!

Summary: Overall the property is very nice and located just 50 steps from the beach. There were plenty of birds and butterflies to add to the ambience. But with the various locations of road construction it is slow/difficult to access any other part of Kauai. The lack of internet/cell service at the property made check in very difficult and isolated us when the power went off for 5 hours (which we are told is weekly). We had a smoke detector go off in the middle of the night and had to go to extremes to get it down and shut off. Despite the second story location we had our share of roaches. Overall it is okay but we will not return.

Summary: This large 4-bedroom house is just lovely. We had our daughter’s family of 5 plus my husband and I rented the next door guesthouse for ourselves. This worked out really well. The guesthouse is somewhat minimal which was fine since we ate all our meals at the main house. The kitchen was large and very well stocked although you do need to buy all your food since it only came with salt & pepper and some other spices, as well as some oil and vinegar. The lanai was spacious and comfortable. The beach was just across the street and down a short walkway. My husband often walked with the grandkids first thing in the morning down to the Hanalei Colony Resort coffee shop for his morning latte. Ha’ena County Park was just down the road a bit which is on Tunnels Beach, another lovely spot. The owner and manager were both very responsive when we couldn’t figure out how to get into the guesthouse (our mistake) and we didn’t need to contact them after that since everything worked really well. Lovely spot and lovely house.

Summary: The stay at Hale Pulelehu’a was a special experience for our family. The property was perfect for our family of five. Rooms and outdoor areas are spacious, everything well cared for, and we immediately felt at home. Being steps away from the beach allowed everyone to conveniently swim, snorkel, and relax. The natural beauty of the surrounding area is picture perfect. Every day felt like being in paradise. Thank you Hale Pulelehu’a for the one of a kind memories.
