Was really stocked with everything we needed including beach chairs, snorkel equipment, beach towels and coolers. AC and fans super helpful and the movies and hot tub were an excellent plus! The location is great if you want nice quiet area with beaches and small towns close. If you are looking for touristy things to do, this is not your vibe. Hosts were great, attentive to our needs and we had an amazing week!

First Time to Kauai

The accommodation was even better in person. A great cottage to share for traveling couples. The screened in lanai, your own backyard & hot tub were awesome. Having the beach towels, chairs, umbrella and cooler was so useful. The check in process was very easy and Chad & Liz were very helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

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!

Wonderful house for a quiet, relaxing stay!!

This house was a wonderful stay, a perfect end to our vacation in Kauai. We wish we would have stayed here the entire week vs the few days we spent on the north shore. The local food, beer, and comforts of this home were perfect. We didn't use the hot tub but we would have if we stayed longer. The beds were super comfortable, the sofa was lovely, and the fans and AC were a welcome treat after a long hike. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the spices and oils you need for cooking.

We loved our stay at Hale Makai! The house was impeccably clean and exactly as pictured in the listing. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, and the owner even provided towels and other supplies to take the the beach. We loved having a private hot tub and screened-in lanai. The location was ideal for our trip - it is in a residential area conveniently located near Waimea Canyon and great hiking. Would definitely recommend this home!
