Hale Nalu: Tropical Cottage in Poipu-Walk to Beach

Scenically situated on the Green Belt pedestrian pathway, this enchanting island-style home combines the casually elegant charm of a country-plantation retreat with an ideally convenient location. Not only is it close to everything—an easy stroll to beaches and restaurants, and a short drive to myriad other South Shore attractions—but the bonus perks include guest privileges at Poipu Kai's nearby facilities: resort-caliber swimming pool, hot tub, and tennis courts.

Inside, every hardwood-floored room is light, bright, beautifully furnished, and filled with art, from the inviting living area to the cheerful bedrooms to the impeccably equipped kitchen. There are thoughtfully curated details everywhere: vivid Hawaiian-themed paintings; ceiling fans with leaf-shaped blades; seahorse lamps; shelves adorned with sculptures, seashells, and other decorative objects; and a master bath with a dramatic Mediterranean-style soaking tub, to name a few. The attractive, many-windowed rooms flow into a large, lovely lanai that offers ample seating on lava-gray rattan furniture with indigo upholstery and throw pillows in shades of sea and sky. All in all, it's the perfect setting for casual meals, celebrations, BBQ feasts, or leisurely relaxation.

Just a few yards beyond the main lanai and grassy backyard is Poipu's iconic Green Belt: a pedestrian pathway that leads to idyllic beaches, appealing restaurants, and the Grand Hyatt Resort. (Bonus treat: the route winds through picturesque landscapes, with the glittering ocean never far from sight.) Slightly farther down the road are even more delights—world-class beaches, irresistible restaurants, intriguing shopping centers, exciting recreations—as well as highway access to the rest of the wondrous island of Kaua'i, where thrilling sightseeing and unforgettable adventures beckon in every direction.

Nice Home

This is a nice home and well appointed. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make our meals. The dishwasher needs to be replaced as it doesn't clean the dishes or dry them.The lanai was our favorite part of the home. We ate outside for every meal.The primary bathroom shower needs some work. The body sprayers are agressive, so you need to turn the controls just right to turn them off.The location of the home is perfect. It's close to Koloa and two golf courses. It's walking distance to the Hyatt, beaches, tennis and pickleball, pools and walking/running paths.

Hawaiian Oasis

We had a lovely stay in Kauai! The house was exactly as pictured- we loved having dinner every night on the lanai overlooking the greenway and took advantage of the beautiful walking paths to nearby beaches. The house was appointed with everything we needed including beach towels and chairs, laundry and central AC. Easy communication and check in/check out processes made it a perfect escape for our family. We hope to be back soon!

Great house for family of 5

The property was located to multiple beaches where we would walk or drive to. The house is well furnished and kitchen has what we need to make coffee and breakfast. We enjoyed sitting on the patio furniture outside in the morning. The beds are very comfortable. And we also loved that the house provided beach chairs and umbrella. Great home for our Kauai stay!

Absolutely amazing!

We couldn’t have been happier with our accommodation! Even better than the photos appear on the listing. Every room was spacious and well appointed. Location was amazing. Community pool access was better than expected as well. Few times that we contacted the the host they were helpful and responsive. Would absolutely recommend. Deserves the 5 star rating.

Idyllic vacation retreat for the family

Lovely, clean space. Comfortable with an amazing location. We spent every evening (and some mornings) on the beautiful back deck, enjoying the greenway views and frequent strolls down to the beach. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Perfect Stay in Poipu

The home was spacious and beautiful with a big back patio overlooking the grassy green belt and walking path to a pretty beach. A short drive away is Poipu Beach Park which is great for snorkeling and swimming, and frequent sighting of sea turtles and seals. The house was equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and a cooler which made our beach trips much more convenient. Easy access to restaurants from here as well. Probably the best accommodation we’ve ever had on vacation.

Wonderful house in a great location

We loved our stay! The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. We had 5 adults and a toddler and had plenty of room. It was our first time staying in this area of Kauai and we loved it. Being able to walk to multiple beaches was fantastic, especially with a toddler! Highly recommend!

This house is great. The porch in particular is just a fantastic place to have meals or just hang out. Easy walking distance to both Poipu beach and Shipwreck Beach. A really lovely place to stay!

A quiet retreat yet close to everything.

This beautiful home suited us perfectly .. room for us, our daughter and her husband and toddler grandson. We loved walking to the beach at the bottom of the path in the morning and then coming home to the shade of the lanai in the afternoon. The green belt provided a green vista and space to play. A very quiet neighbourhood along with comfortable beds meant we slept well. Shops and restaurants a short drive away were very convenient as were dining options at the nearby Hyatt. Hoping to return one day.

This home is very nice in a great location. With the Hyatt hotel nearby it gave us many options for dining and shopping. It feels centrally located to a lot of small towns. I will surely try to stay here again.

Absolutely gorgeous home!

This home was everything it advertised to be. Super spacious, comfortable, clean and the BEST patio area by far! Definitely 5 stars from our group!! Only suggestion would be to have a variety of spices, potato masher and a kettle. Otherwise, the shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion supplied was an amazing touch. Ample paper towels, TP, laundry detergent, amazing clean and comfy bedding!
