Great place and location photos and description very accurate. Was a bit warm but house had multiple fans to use. Chicken loved waking us up in time to start our day. Pretty much a private beach to ourselves. Highly recommended and will stay again.

The property was exactly as described online and the property management company was wonderful to work with. They did everything to accommodate our group and were very friendly. We absolutely loved our time at Pakala Plantation and highly recommend this property.

We were awestruck by the night sky: there were more stars visible than I ever imagined and so bright! Loved the house also. It was private with beach view and access. It was large and had great character, we would have to stay another week to really know the house as we kept discovering new things until we left. We have wonderful memories of hanging out on the late covered porch enjoying the breeze and the birds of ocean and mountains. The heat with no AC was a change for us, but there were many fans and the house is designed to use the ocean breeze for cooling.

We stayed for a week in April for a calm, quiet getaway at the estate. We were incredibly impressed by the historical significance, impeccable grounds, and quirky, spacious building. The true star of the property was the walking-distance proximity to the virtually private beach. There are amazing gardens to explore on the property, in addition to dozens of chickens. The one downside we experienced on several days was a significant bug issue. Certainly, the tropics should be expected to have mosquitoes, etc, but the volume of gnats was significant, day and night, likely due to the fruit trees. The property would benefit from a bug-zapper or having fly paper available for guests.

The most beautiful and best place to stay on the island. Many locals will let you know once they know you’re staying there that you are on a prized location. We caught fish from the bank every single day, the turtles fed in front of us every single day. You’ll sit on the porch every morning watching the surfers and you’ll find yourself taking surf lesson soon after. Such an amazing experience and opoa is the best to deal with. Can’t thank they’re family enough for everything!

We loved the space this property has, the privacy and access to the beach. It had everything we needed. It was comfortable, relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. It is exactly as described. Remember it is an old house:) It was perfect.

Without a doubt, the best vacation house we have ever rented. So spacious for 6 adults and 2 kids, room for "I" time and together time, and best of all, hours watching the surfers and sunset from the front porch. The house is completely equipped with everything needed in the kitchen and everything was comfortable and clean. The beach is private but there are always several local expert surfers to watch.

We stayed at Pakala Plantation for a week with our 4 teenage/young adult "children". This was the perfect house for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed many hours (and naps) on the porch. It's a bizarre yet wonderful house that clearly holds so many memories for generations past. I felt like I was staying in my grandmother's house...old can opener mounted to the kitchen wall and metal cabinets. Straight from a different era! The house was clean and comfortable. Could used some bathroom updates - but I expect that is difficult to accomplish on an island. There is no AC, and it did get to be a little hot - especially in the afternoons. Many fans are available and we had no trouble sleeping at night due to heat ("jungle fowl" are a different story). We loved watching the surfers and enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility. Hope to come back again - certainly a very special home!

We had an awesome time at the perfect spot to surf at Pakalas. The views, sounds and waves were all perfect. The home has a ton of space and definitely ideal for 2-3 families + a guest or two. We'll be back!

it is easy to live in Paradise on the most beautiful property in Kauai. we all had a beautiful time from age 5 to 65. The beach is close enough to be a surfers paradise the longest left in all of Hawaii, and far enough that your little ones will not venture of on their own. shopping is easy and close. the Pakala Plantation is in the heart of Kauai with locals and natives alike. Not far from any convenience either. we all had a wonderful time. The house is very well equipped, clean, and easy to maintain.

We loved our family stay at the beautiful plantation house, this was our families 3rd time staying here over several years. It could use a few upgrades as in a new grill, the caretakers of the property were very helpful if we needed anything. Great place to stay with a large family.

What a perfect spot! Best place we’ve ever rented. Loved the privacy and charm, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Great amenities, with plenty of room and options for each in our party to share time and space with options to retreat to solitude as desired. A REAL vacation! Ahhh…

This home was in such a beautiful location! We loved gathering for coffee on the front porch each morning and watching the surfers. In the evening, we enjoyed watching the geckos catching their dinner on the ceiling by the porch lights.
There was more than enough room for the 6 of us. Bring your earplugs if you don’t like hearing the roosters, but that’s not just at this beautiful home, they’re everywhere on the island!
The landscaping was beautifully done, but the home could really use a deep cleaning. There also is not air conditioning in this 100 year old home, but we didn’t miss it.
Make sure to make reservations for the 5⭐️ restaurants several weeks prior to your arrival or you’ll be eating at 10:00 at night. All in all, this was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend!

If you are looking for a place to rent you can stop searching now this is the absolute perfect vacation rental! The house and the property are absolutely perfect! There is so much space and privacy, the grounds, the beach, the house, and the porch are amazing! We had four couples staying here and we all had our own bedroom and bathroom with extra bedrooms and bathrooms. The house has everything you need to make you feel right at home. The front porch was our favorite hangout spot, we could sit there forever and just enjoy the views of the ocean and the mountains. The beach was very private and we enjoyed watching all the Surfers! The house had everything you could need on the beach also. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to stay in Kauai to stay in this rental, you will not be disappointed!

Beautiful property and amazing view of the ocean and surfers. Big private beach. Sitting on the big wrap around porch every morning and evening was priceless. House does get hot in the afternoons with no AC, so really have to open it up and turn on fans for evening. Overall great experience and lasting memory for our family.

Perfect for our family- not into 'pampered & fancy' . Truly a special place for us, plenty of space for kids to just run around, adults to kick back and relax by hanging out on the porch ( with amazing view all day/night) or just wander to the beach. None of the 'crowd'. Prepared our own meals and just loved doing nothing.
