Great place to stay on the “quiet side” of Kaua’i. Beautiful home right across the street from walkable quiet beach with the added plus of a great hot tub. Excellent proximity to Waimea Canyon and Koke’e state park for great hiking. Longer drive to north coast and Lihue/Poipu areas but for us the trade off was well worth it. Would definitely recommend.

Pictures on the Vrbo app do not do justice to how beautiful this house is! The house was super clean, lots of open space, the kitchen stocked full of utensils for cooking, and the air conditioning worked great. We enjoyed the 2 bedrooms and bathrooms being separated in the house for extra privacy, a small but great feature when you have 2 couples and people waking and sleeping at separate times. Mattress was super comfortable. Showers had plenty of hot water. The lanai was pleasant early in the cooler mornings. We didn't use the hot tub, as we visited Salt Pond Beach most days. All in all, Liz and Chad were great hosts and the experience exceeded our expectations! We would definitely love to stay here again!

We COMPLETELY enjoyed our stay at Hale Makai! The home was very comfortable - just as advertised! It was quiet with lovely decor and a beautiful yard and lanai. The hot tub under the stars and moon was delightful! We had everything we needed and loved coming back to the house after a day of exploring and watching the beautiful sunsets at Kekaha Beach. Even though it is located in the far west, we found it very convenient for all of our adventures. It was easy to get to anywhere from Kekaha. We go to meet one of the hosts, Chad and he gave us a ton of great tips for exploring and food. We highly recommend Hale Makai!

If you are looking for a place on the outskirts of the busier, more touristy part of Kauai, this is the perfect spot! A beautiful home with everything you need for a wonderful time. Included are beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, boogie boards and ice chests for some great adventures around the island. Then you come back to a wonderful house that has everything you need, including all the kitchen appliances to seasoning and oils, and a bbq to grill on. Follow that up with a nice soak in the hot tub and you couldn’t ask for anything more. Liz & Chad were easy to communicate with, as was the check-in process. I will definitely be staying here my next time on the island. Until then, aloha and mahalo!

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
