Hale Hapuna - Poipu's Best Ocean and Mountain Views

Whether you’re traveling with a large family or group of friends, Hale Hapuna is the perfect choice. It offers the ideal setting with approximately 5,000 square feet to spread out. Extra spacious living areas offer plenty of room to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Roomy, air conditioned bedroom suites offer the perfect end to a perfect island style day. The chef(s) in your group will greatly appreciate the well equipped kitchen. They may even want to venture out to one of our Farmer’s Markets for some fresh local produce to include in one of their tropical culinary creations. Enjoy the tropical breezes and fragrant scents from the multiple seating and dining areas on the expansive, wrap around lanai that offers panoramic ocean, mountain and coastline views.

Feel like you are on top of the world as this home is located at the highest point in Poipu on the top rim of an extinct crater that overlooks the Poipu Resort area. Although it may be difficult to leave this lovely home for more than hour, you are within walking distance to 3 of Kauai’s finest beaches: Shipwreck Beach to the East (best for experienced swimmers and surfers), Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach Park to the West.

The four bedroom main home bedrooms are located on the first floor of the two story home. Second floor of main home is the kitchen, dining room, living room and large wrap around lanai with spectacular mountain/ocean vistas to the north, east and west. The additional two bedrooms are located a few steps away from the main home in the fully detached 1,000 square foot guest cottage. The guest cottage is fully equipped with a kitchen/living room area offering accommodations for an additional 4 guests. Located directly adjacent to the main house, this cottage is included in the 6 bedroom rate. Please note: AC is ONLY in bedrooms in the Main House and not available upstairs in in the living room/kitchen area (plans to install AC upstairs in the main home in fall of 2024). The detached guest cottage has AC in each bedroom and in the living room area to keep you comfortable.

It is also possible to just rent the main 4 bedroom home! Please inquire for details and pricing.

Additional amenities include: 2 private outdoor showers, WiFi, Gas outdoor grill, in room safe in master bedroom, private onsite parking for multiple vehicles and Washer & Dryer for your use.

Hale Hapuna

Our family had a wonderful stay at Hale Hapuna. There were 15 of us and there was something for everyone, from the 3 year olds to the 70 year olds. It was a perfect vacation. Everyone enjoyed the walkable beaches, the beautiful views and the spacious living areas. We would definitely do it all over again!

Perfect home base for a large group in Kaua’i

My family absolutely loved staying at Hale Hapuna! It was centrally located, so that we could take a leisurely walk to Poipu Beach. The home was very spacious, and we appreciated that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Mostly, though, we loved taking in the view and island breezes from the second floor!

Great house for large families

We had a large group at the house and it was perfect for our needs. Plenty of room to mingle or spread out. The kitchen was great and two dishwashers really helped. Lots of great beach gear including towels, umbrellas, boogie board and snorkel gear came in handy. Would definitely recommend this house and hope to come back soon.

Great house for a group

The house is great for a group, with bedrooms below and a spacious common area above. We spent a lot of time on the deep covered deck which has beautiful views, plentiful seating and tables and shady spots. It is walking distance to Brennecke's beach and Poipu Beach. Our teenagers could watch TV without disturbing others on the deck or at the other couch seating area. The dining table easily held all 11 people in our group. It was a great location!

Great for large family reunions!

We had a incredible time in the full stocked home. Every last detail was accounted for and we were always able to find what we needed. This is perfect for families and large groups. The living area is all upstairs and the bedrooms are downstairs so it is perfect for people who want to entertain upstairs while the kids are asleep downstairs etc.. The views are incredible. The beach is a short walk and the home is also fully stocked with beach toys, towels, chairs, and boogie boards.

Perfect house, perfect view, perfect location!

There were 12 of us staying in this spacious house! Two bedrooms in the carriage house and four bedrooms in the main house. The best part is: every bedroom has its own attached bathroom! The top floor is an open floor plan with huge seating areas and the most beautiful lanai! There’s a nice walking path down to Poipu Beach with turtles, monk seals and the best hot dog stand ever! It’s also really close to a couple beaches that are perfect for babies and toddlers. I had excellent text communication with the property managers, who were always very timely and helpful.

The house is very well outfitted and maintained, and the property management folks checked in with us regularly to make sure we had what we needed.

It’s the perfect place for a large group and only 5-10 minutes walking to the beach and the Grant Hyatt. The house had everything we could possibly need (snorkel gear, bodyboards, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc). We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Hail to Hale Hapuna

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: From the moment I drove up to this house to the moment I drove away from this house, it was an amazing experience. The GIR team is very friendly and helpful. HH is amazing from the huge bedroom with A/C to the huge entertainment/dining/kitchen on the top floor. Every morning I have a 180 view of Poipu beach + Napali Mt + Sleeping Giant Mt from the expansive deck. Cleaniness of this place is top notch...very very well maintained. You can beat the number of bathrooms at this house. If I have to complain about something, it would be the fact that HH only has 5 wine glasses and the deck lounger's cushions are a bit old. When I return to Kauai, I would definitely stay at Hale Hapuna.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stay at the house was great. There were a couple minor issues with the kitchen sink and dryer but the management company was awesome trying to fix the issue and it was just a small inconvenience and did not impact our fun time. The home was spotless when we arrived and that is very important to me. One of the best things about the house besides the view from the balcony was the beach chairs and towels provided as we had a big party and there was plenty for everyone and great quality. The kitchen had everything we needed and was fully stocked with dishes, glasses, utensils and good quality. It was my birthday and the day we arrived the rental company left me a beautiful bouquet of island flowers and a birthday card. So sweet! Moving forward I will try to VRBO again from the rental company as they are wonderful to work with.Carolyn from Az

Even better than the photos

This is a beautiful property, with unbelievable views of the water and the lush island from each level. There's ample outdoor deck space and windows and doors to open for a cross-breeze. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed and having a bathroom for each bedroom is a huge bonus. In the main house they are all ensuite and the Ohana has one in the hallway. In April, those from our group in the Ohana said with windows and fans they slept fine without air conditioning. The main house has a mini-split ac in each bedroom. We found the kitchen well-stocked for cooking meals. The furniture and rugs are a bit worn out and all the wicker makes it hard to get comfortable, but there’s a large dining table for gathering and lots of seating on the wraparound deck. The guest closet in the garage is stocked with toys, chairs, snorkels, bikes, and boogie boards. There are beach towels by the front door and a clothesline for drying. You can walk to Poipu Beach and a shopping center with a Starbucks, restaurants, and surf/gift shops. Big Save grocery store is only about a 5-minute drive away. We parked two minivans and a car in the driveway and could have fit another. Overall the house exceeded our expectations and we had a wonderful trip!
