Kaumakani Talk Story Bookstore Hotels

"Excellent comfortable stay overall. Spacious rooms, large resort with lots of family friendly activities. It was a very relaxing stay. I particularly appreciated the well stocked kitchen that made cooking a breeze. Being in the south side, it’s almost always sunny and calmer. The highlight of the trip was the pool- huge and with lots of water features. The nearest large beach is Poipu, a few mins of driving. There is no direct beach access from the property but there is a lightly trafficked road where you can walk along the coast."

" The house and location was perfect for our needs. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended. "

"What a beautiful little house! The two bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped and easy to use. We ate on the little lanai in the front, which was delightful. Melissa was immediately responsive to our questions. The town of Waimea is very close and charming, with plenty of food options, and Salt Pond Beach is 15 minutes away and wonderful. We loved being away from all the resorts, in a quiet neighborhood right by the ocean. I would stay here again in a minute! "

"Beautiful! Looked just as good in person as the photos. You can watch turtles all day long from the balcony. Great location!"

"Large house with plenty of room for 10 adults to enjoy time together as well as alone. Evenings spent relaxing on the lanai watching spectacular sunsets over the ocean waves offered the perfect way to end our sun-soaked days. Patrick & Jules were exceptionally responsive & helpful during our stay. Would definitely stay at Hale La again. "

"Place was awesome, in a quiet area and the place was very clean!"

"Everything was perfect! We had so much fun and will definitely be back."

"My wife and I stayed at Kai Nalu with two of our adult sons and daughter-in-laws. It was very accommodating for our ohana gathering. We had 3 rental vehicles between us. There was plenty of parking for all. The kitchen and front room were big enough and well-equipped for family style cooking and meals. The washer and dryer were great and in use every day. Each couple had their own bathroom which was a huge plus. The location is excellent. Most mornings we gathered as a family on the backyard beach to watch the Kauai sunrise. Hearing the waves crashing on the beach morning and night added a touch of perfection to our vacation. Shopping, food and shave ice were all a short walk away. The neighbors on either side were very kind and friendly. For Kauai standards, this is a very large, roomy home. We didnt even have to use the 4th bedroom and bathroom. We were very pleased with our choice. If you're staying in Waimea, this is an excellent choice for family/large group accommodations. If i had to choose between the Waimea Plantation Cottages and Kai Nalu, I'd choose Kai Nalu every time! Mahalo!!!"

"Beautiful home full of character and charm. Perfect representation for Kauai "
