"Our host, Liz M., was super responsive with clear instructions. The house was just as pictured -- okay, even cuter in person! AC in the bedrooms was super as we were here during a hot spell. Outdoor shower was great!"

"Beautiful & peaceful surroundings. Great air conditioning & comfortable beds. Do wish they had cleaning service every other day and a dishwasher. Staff was very friendly. "

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

"Had a great stay. Enough room to sleep 6 of us with plenty of room in the kitchen and living room. Outside living was great. Lots of seating and a beautiful view. Even had everyday visits from some 4 legged fur friends (cats) and some not so much friends (chickens). Saw dolphins jumping from the back yard.House had beach toys and towels which was great to not have to worry about.Only minor complaint was the window air conditioners in the main house bedrooms were loud."

"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. "

"This is a wonderful, wonderful spot! You hear the water…watch boarding from your deck. Beautiful home…vintage…I love fixed up vintage! You won’t be disappointed."

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

"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 "
