Very clean. Amazing location. The Green Sea Turtles every evening on Poipu Beach were awe-inspiring. Great communication with Garden Island Rentals. Very prompt attention to a few minor issues. Well-equipped house and kitchen (loved the coffee pot and coffee grinder). Beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and boogie boards were a plus.

This home and location is perfect! The hosts are fantastic as well responding quickly and very communicative. Pros:1. This house is huge! There is a lot of space in the house but also has a patio and a yard plus a huge public grassy area for your kids to play or use as a great photo opp.2. Well equipped! Has everything you need. Blenders, cookware, rice cooker, bbq, coffee maker, cooler, beach equipment and boogie boards, and toiletries.3. Location! Maybe 50-75 steps to the sand and maybe another 25 steps to the water! You have brenneckes 50 steps away, Poipu beach maybe 200 steps away from brenneckes. You’ll see sea turtles almost every day! Also ship wreck beach has an easy hike where you have to see the sunrise!Cons (not many but figured I would be thorough):1. Parking - yes, there is a 1 car garage and a carport for 1 car. The driveway and angle to park in these spots is a bit difficult. I rented a crossover SUV and it was fine but I can imagine a full size SUV might be a little harder to park. Not a big deal but worth mentioning.2. Towels - I think this goes for all beach house rentals due to the humidity but recommend to bring your own bath towels or just purchase some if you want fresh smelling and fluffy towels.Overall, great property and would 100% recommend renting for your next vacation!

This property is very nice and well equipped. The two master set up works great for two couples. The location is perfect and overall we really enjoyed our stay. The only issue we had was noise. Our neighbors partied every night until the wee hours. We understand people are on vacation but excessive noise, music and shouting is taking it too far. I would also suggest that the rental company consider providing a small starter pack for renters. When you arrive late and don’t even have a bottle of water or a couple coffee pods for the morning- it’s not fun. Just a few items until guests can get to a grocery would be great- at least water. Overall, great house in a great location.

Lei Hali'a was a gem! Fabulous location, view, amenities and comfort! Kitchen was very well appointed for 2 senior couples who love to cook. Views from every room. A couple items needed attention while we were there for 3 weeks and Garden Island was all over them. Thanks especially to Chela for taking such good care of us!!

A group of 9 family members stayed in Poipu for the holidays and this house (home to 4 adults) was our central hub. What a fabulous location, layout, and assistance! The house was immaculate and well suited to our intergenerational family dynamic, and the location next to the beach was so fun and handy. We could have easily had a few kids stay here if needed, but thankfully only had the crew over for dinners on the big lanai. The house was probably the best equipped kitchen of any rental we've ever had in more than 10 years of these types of gatherings, and the management group was on top of everything - from our arrival and questions, so special requests. I would HIGHLY recommend this group and this property to families looking for an amazing Poipu experience.

Amazing location with ocean views from every room (except the bathrooms). The house is beautiful and well appointed. Drinks and dinner on the lanai many evenings, great ocean swimming and boogie boarding just steps away. It doesn’t get much better than this. We will definitely stay in this house again.

This is our second stay at the Lei Hali'a rental home.We were the second guest to stay here 5 years ago after it was built. We also rented the Leipiha ke Aloha home next door for other members of our family this year. This home has been updated with new furnishings and colors and is incredibly comfortable and beautiful. There is nothing in Kauai that has all the amenities this home has.Poipu is on the sunny side of the island.This home is in front of the best beach on Kauai for body surfing and bogey boarding and daily swims with the sea turtles. Once you load up at Costco by the airport, you can find all your other needs at the close by farmers market, local grocery stores, and restaurants, all within 3-4 miles of this location. Suggestions:Recommend the BBQ be replaced.The fire only covers the back cooking surface.This is the same Weber we used 5 years ago and it is timeor a new one. There is one drawback we noticed this stay.Directly across the street is a family compound of 4 homes.We had 20+ parents and children staying there. Playtime in the afternoon was sometimes noisy,so being outside on the lanai was a hit and miss for quiet time. I am certain this will change once school is back in session.

This is a great house, one of the closest to Brenecke and Poipu beach. Great outdoor lanai and upper deck, wonderful people watching. There is a path in front of the house that goes to the beach in one direction, and to Shipwreck beach and the Grand Hyatt resort in the other direction. Two very comfortable king bedroom suites. We would definitely stay here again. Do know that the BBQ is in the garage, and not on lanai.

Our recent stay on Kauai was greatly enhanced by the beautiful new house located directly across from Brennecke's Beach in Poipu. Easy walking distance to Poipu Beach Park, restaurants, and beach gear rentals. We saw whales and spinner dolphins from our lanai and were visited by sea turtles and monk seals on the beach. The house is new and had all we needed to make it a perfect stay. We will be back.

The property at Lei Hali’a is very well maintained. It has all the amenities you want and need. It is about a minute walk to Poipu beach. We loved the open floor plan and the fact you could see the ocean from the entire back of the house. We were able to finally relax and enjoy the area. Thank you!

This house is located steps from the beach where you can snorkel, surf or boogie board. The house itself is perfect for two couples and is accurately depicted on the website. It was clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. Two minor detractions: the garage is very difficult to get in and out of and they could use some lounge chairs. Other than that, it was just perfect! Highly reccommend!

We stayed at Lei Hali'a during our visit to Kauai and could not have been more pleased. Two master suites was perfect for the 4 of us, with plenty of room to spare. The house was beautiful and stocked with everything we needed for our visit. The house is in a quiet location, just steps away from Brennecke's Beach, which is a great spot to watch the sunset. I recommend watching the sunrise on the cliffs at Shipwrecks beach, which is just a short walk away as well. Highly recommend!

This house is fantastic! Beautiful new construction home with spacious rooms and unobstructed views of the ocean from both floors. Lots of outdoor living space, a few minutes walk from numerous beaches, great restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive, and super close to awesome snorkeling. There is a washer/dryer on site, along with beach chairs, umbrella, noodle floaties, and boogie boards. The property managers are super friendly and accommodating. Our family of five had a superb vacation and we are so sad to leave! You can’t go wrong staying at this rental property.

The property was so comfortable, with fantastic views, plenty of space for two adult couples and a great kitchen for cooking as often as we wanted. The best snorkeling beach was just steps away with sightings of turtles, monk seals and so many amazing fish!
The owners provided us with beach chairs, an umbrella, noodles, boogie boards and even sand castle equipment.
After a great day in the sun snorkeling or hiking we fully enjoyed the very comfortable king-sized beds.
The location was so easy to walk to plenty of options to eat and others were within an easy drive.
We will gladly stay here again, Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Stated exactly like the listing description, this lovely home is steps away from the beach, was very comfortable, and had all amenities one could ask for. This home had an abundance of space for my husband and I. Two living room areas and two master suites.

My husband and I stayed here for a week and had more than enough space. The house was immaculate. The layout is fantastic and the views of the beach are stunning. The house is in a great location, steps from the beach and no more than 30 minutes from the airport and all of our daily adventures (zip lining, hiking, and boat tour). Kitchen is well stocked with basic spices and utensils. We also used the grill. We would definitely stay here again! Gorgeous!

Overall we would definitely stay here again. The location of the property is incredible. We were walking distance to the kid friendly beach.
Few things that we were surprised by are 1. The large grassy backyard that was shown in pictures is actually not there. That area is a construction site and is being developed by the owners into another property. We were looking forward to having a backyard the kids (1.5 and 3yo) could play in while we got meals ready etc. the good thing is that the owner stops construction when there are renters.
2. Unfortunately the rental company wasn’t familiar with the specifics of the house, when I inquired about baby/toddler things, and answered incorrectly. This resulted in me renting baby gear that wasn’t needed or didn’t work with the property (ex: baby gates, plastic plates, baby tub). So unfortunately we lost money there.
3. The property was not clean on our arrival. We noticed the day we arrived that when my daughter crawled on the floor her clothes at her knees and her hands were completely brown. Microwave was full of crumbs. Master bathroom downstairs was muddy with light brown stains all over the floor and by the toilet. I later found hair on the toilet in the upstairs masters bathroom when my 3 yo tried to use it. I did email the rental company and she was very nice, prompt with responses, and tried to get someone to come out and clean but unfortunately that wasn’t until Tues (we arrived on Sun). I didn’t expect to have to clean toilets on vacation... seems silly to pay a cleaning fee when it wasn’t clean for us.
4. The kitchen is a little under stocked in terms of items. For example: a drying rack for hand washed items would be nice.
But some of these issues only pertained to us bc we have young kids. Otherwise it really is beautiful and the location can’t be beat!

Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! The home is newly built so everything is new and clean. It was obvious that there was a tremendous amount of attention to detail in the design, quality of construction, design and selection of all the furnishings. Everything that we needed with there in the house... beach chairs, kitchen stuff, towels, visitor literature, instructions for everything. Layout and functionality were excellent. The pictures say it all about the location and condition and usability of the house... steps to the beach, unobstructed ocean views, short walk to Brennecke's and Kalapaki Joe's and shortly longer walk to shopping, Starbucks and other restaurant options. Many beaches also walking distance and hotel dining options. Poipu is our favorite part of Kauai but there is easy access to the rest of the island. All interactions with the management team and the owner/builder were fast and friendly. Highly recommended for considerate renters.
