All positives to our vacation rental, no negatives!!! We would easily choose this house again! Beds were great, we were able to keep upstairs bedroom sliding door open so we could listen to the waves at night.

We had a wonderful stay! The home was perfect for our family; it had all the things we needed and some fun extras too, like sand toys and beach chairs. My grandkids enjoyed the large front lawn to run around in and the location to the beach and restaurants was great! We could walk to multiple places to eat. The home was clean and well kept. We had no complaints at all!

I felt the pictures made it look small, but to my surprise it was really big!!!
The beds were the worse!!! Spend some money on new mattresses. The neighbors to the back were loud and cursing a lot and my grand babies were with us. Dislike that very much .
Also ,didn’t feel comfortable in the area after reading the warning about burglaries in our area.

A very cozy place in a nice neighborhood just around the corner from a beach walk to town. Several choices of beach along the way, our family spent a lot of time on these. The town is a little funky but nice, great shave ice and poke. House itself could use a little fixing up but we’ll laid out with big yard in front of wide porch and wide kitchen area. The fans were just barely adequate to sleep at nite, house could get a little warm. The rental agency very easy to find and deal with, no hidden fees or runaround.

We rented Hale Niu an inter generational family vacation. This rental location was a perfect match for us. We had coffee every morning at the sea wall, a 2 minute walk from our house. Watch dolphins and whales every day. Walking distance to grocery stores and other shopping as needed. The walking/bike path along the sea wall was used every day for short and long walks. The home itself, although obviously a little older was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes etc. It would have been nice to have perhaps have little things like salt and pepper. It was wonderful to have access to lawn chairs, snorkeling equipment, laundry and bbq. The large treed front yard gave us great privacy. KVR service was amazing. Prompt communication before and during our visit. The check in and check out was super easy and efficient. The bbq tank was empty but they were prompt in sending over someone to change it over. The location of Hale Niu was wonderful. Close to the water, and Kapaa is centrally located on the island. Everything on the island can be done on a short excursion.

Pros
Good location, large outdoor grassy area, well stocked kitchen, quick responses from management
Cons
Dated property (rust in some areas, stains on floor and carpets), ants on countertops (we kept everything very clean but there were many small ants) and in bathroom, termite droppings near the bathroom by the floorboards, noise from the street/cars at night, noise from construction on house next door (building noise and loud cursing), dead bugs on the bathroom ceiling that had not been cleaned, lots of wear and tear

Very comfortable house! Has one of the best equipped kitchens we've found in a vacation rental. Our group of 4 (my husband and I + our 2 twenty-something kids) found the location very convenient to explore the island or walk to town along the coast. Fabulous porch and spacious front yard provided lots of room for relaxing.

Hale Nui was everything we were hoping it would be. Amazing location, great lanai, beautiful large lawn for the kids to run around under the palm trees, short walk to the beach, the perfect base from which to explore the north and south/west of the island. Photos are a little older and don’t reflect some newer amenities, so in some ways it’s even better than advertised. Hope to bring the gang back here soon!

Great spot for extended family trip. Everything literally at your doorstep. Second time we have stayed at Hale Niu and will stay again. The exterior of the house could use some TLC but overall, a great place.,

House and location were ideal. We had 8 people including two young boys. We were 1 block to ocean and about. 5 minute walk to a beach. Centrally located between the north shore and south shore, we explored the island. Perfect.

First time staying on this side of the island. The location was great. Property description and Pictures are accurate. Although no A/C that did not bother us. Lots of breezes coming thru especially at night. We figured that it was because we were close to the ocean. Peekaboo ocean view. 1 block from local beach. Home located 1 mile from center of Kapaa Town. You can walk along bike/walking path that is parallel to the ocean to get to Kapaa Town. Beautiful and enjoyable walk. 1 mile to Coconut Marketplace in the other direction. Its walkable but along the highway. The home was perfect for our group. The porch and lawn were the favorite parts of the house. Plenty of room to spread out in the house as well. The kitchen was organized a bit odd but we worked with it. Towels galore and beach stuff too. Although the umbrella needs replacing. Everyone we spoke with at the property mgt were so friendly and helpful. It was great we did not have to have a large chore in the exit cleaning. Most places have such specific strict rules of remove bedding etc. This place was easy exit. We were amazed we did not have to run the dishwasher upon exiting or put bedding in bathtub. We would TOTALLY recommend this vacation rental! Families would love the lawn for kids to burn off energy and the beach being so close. Although there is no lifeguard, we feel it is safe enough. Our group was a Hula Halau on Retreat from Washington State and the lawn was perfect for practicing. We met a couple of the neighbors and they were welcoming and friendly and even enjoyed watching us practice. One even invited us to Kauai Beach Resort to listen to music as he is a musician there and invited us to do a impromptu dance there. Best breakfast= Kountry Kitchen. ( Go early as there is always a wait) Dinner=Lemongrass Grill.Shave Ice= Wailua Shave Ice. Safeway, Starbucks, Subway, McDonalds even Ross Dress for Less, in walking distance less than 10 minutes away. Mahalo Kauai Vacation Rentals. We loved it

This is a well used rental so don't expect resort perfection but it was clean and well stocked and we had everything we needed for a fabulous holiday. We were 5 adults and 2 children and the layout of the house was perfect for us. As the children are young, being within walking distance of a reef sheltered beach was ideal. We loved the town of Kapa'a and had a lot of fun renting bikes, shopping and exploring. We had a great time and have no regrets.

We were very pleased with this truly Hawaiian home. While not as slick and fancy as the newer condos available, it accommodated 7 family and friends very comfortably. It was also moderately priced. There was comfortable seating between the two dining areas, room to watch TV, for which we had no need, and an incredibly stocked kitchen, even for Thanksgiving cooking! We also were entertained by the various mother hens and chicks and other local birdlife. While the ocean views were very narrow, only 1/2 block away was the long walkway along the shore. Restaurants and shopping are within walking distance and everything we wanted to do was not far away.

This house has plenty of ocean breeze, A/C is not needed. We really enjoyed the lanai, kitchen, and the location. It is very close to the ocean and able to walk to it within a minute. We saw a beautiful and unforgettable sunrise one morning. The coconut trees in front of the house are also beautiful.There is a walking path for people and bicycle in front of the house. One morning we saw Santa was walking in front of the house. Apparently it is his walking route. The house is prefect for a family. Beach chairs, a cooler, beach umbrellas, and boogie boards were there for use. The kitchen is well equipped even with a high power blender, rice cooker, and crockpot.

We have stayed at Hale Niu 2 times in the past and have always been very happy with our stay. This time was a bit rough! The first few days we got several flea bites 😞 while inside the house. And some out in back yard. We NEVER let the cats inside or close to us at any time. Unfortunately we had issues with the propane going out on us and have it No stove, hot water or clothes dryer more than one time and for over 24hrs at a time!! Which was a bummer as we had meals all ready to cook both times😞 Lucy was super nice and tried her best to get things taken care of as fast as she could. Thank you 😊 things were just not as relaxing As far as house goes this time around. You guys are great and try to help as fast as possible, thank you for that. Josie Hard

I took my family on a bucket-list vacation- 2 grand daughters included. The house was an older, slightly funky, roomy home. We're the type of people who don't need luxury and refinements. Who vacations in Hawaii and spends much time inside when there's so much to do outside? Kapaa is a great area. A paved beach trail runs outside the house. The baby beach was a hit with my grand kids. The property management company was great, and stayed in constant contact about payment,check-in procedures, etc. If I owned a rental home I'd use them myself.

Great house. All amenities available, cool breezes kept the house cool. Centerally located to the north/south sides of Kaua'i. The ocean was a block away and a beach within walking distance. Great sunrises. A very comfortable house. It could use some maintenance

The location is fantastic - 20 minutes from the airport, a short stroll to restaurants or grocery stores, easy walk to a little kid-friendly beach (rocks break the waves and create a nice pool for little ones), a short drive to a life-guard beach for bigger kids and better swimmers, and about 30-45 min drive to boatings/SCUBA activities and 30 min drive to Princeville for shopping. Cute home. Well stocked kitchen - like it actually had tools for us to cook meals at home with! I would come back with the family again in a heart-beat. Great home!

We had great weather. We loved Kapaa, and that we were walking distance to so many places. The house was perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids. We loved the porch and enjoyed coffee every morning of there. A highlight was our Napali Coast snorkel cruise with Captain Andy's. We also participated in the Roots and Shoots 5K. We enjoyed an Easter egg hunt in the yard. The 6 year old loved searching for geckos! We loved our stay. Thank you!

This home for fit our family of 10 very comfortably.
We stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed every single one of them.
Just steps to the beach and close enough to hear the surf.
The front yard full of palms trees gently restless in the trade winds.
Centrally located on the island made for a fantastic base camp.
Within walking distance of an historic down down and with great local food options and vendors.
Many other services within a short distance.

My family had An amazing vacation here! It was plenty big enough for all 9 of us. The yard was amazing for the kids to burn off any energy the beach didn't get. There were a couple of small things that they fixed as soon as we called. Great promptness! We will definitely consider this again for future stays!

8 of us rented this charming home for ten days. It fit our family with 3 younger kids well. As the photos show it has a tropical feel, comfortable, clean. It is a little dated but we were not paying for glitz. The front yard is huge and great for playing ball. At first we were concerned about no AC but it was fine. There are lots of fans and the breeze is wonderful. The laundry is great. That room has lots of sand toys, boogie boards, beach chairs etc. The kitchen is well equipped.
It is just across from the ocean. The beach is not for little kids. You are half way between Poipu in the South and Princeville in the north. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. We all loved it and would go back. Great value.
