Hale Pohaku Kai: Poipu Seaside Stunner

Hale Pohaku Kai is a paradise of paradoxes: elegantly furnished, yet casually comfortable; spacious & airy yet cozy, too; wonderfully private, but with Poipu’s world-class sandy beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping & lively local events only a few minutes away. The property’s Hawaiian name (“Stonehouse by the Sea,” in English) reflects the dramatic location overlooking the Poipu seawall & the shimmering ocean beyond, with a nod to the stonework accents in lava rock & Pacific Rim limestone.

Inside and out, the open-plan design and tasteful tropical-themed décor create the gracious, laid-back ambience of an elevated plantation-style home by the shore—splashed with sunlight but with plenty of quiet, shady corners, and cooled by ceiling fans, trade winds & gentle sea breezes. The large, west-facing wraparound lanai is perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or marveling at the vivid sunsets, while the upstairs verandah (part of a primary suite) offers thrilling seasonal glimpses of whales & dolphins. As if to complement the attractive art that adorns the walls, every single window in the house frames a striking, painterly view of ocean or mountains.

The fully equipped kitchen is an amateur chef’s dream, with gleaming appliances and plentiful counter space for creating delicious locavore meals—or dishing up tasty takeout from one of the many restaurants nearby. Charming details & pleasant surprises abound, from handsome Hawaiian quilts to lustrous hardwood floors to the melodic birdsong that drifts in from the plush, verdant garden. Hanging out at Hale Pohaku Kai is pure delight, but the location is also an ideal base for exploring the rest of this amazingly beautiful, endlessly intriguing island, with highway access just a short jaunt away. South, north, west, east: wherever you roam during the adventure-filled days, you can always look forward to returning to this lovely, restorative house by the sea.

The Big 65th Birthday Celebration!

Amazing views!! Loved seeing turtles every day at the sea wall. We were fortunate to see whales and enjoy walks down to the beach. Beautiful sunsets. Lots of family time enjoying the gorgeous lania. The interior design of the home is spacious and very comfortable. The property management team is exceptional and quickly resolved a minor issue. We definitely recommend this property!

Hale Pohaku Kai: seaside paradise

Location is perfect, close to sea wall, beaches, shops, places to eat, and hotels where other family members stayed. House was spectacular with views off the upstairs lanai overlooking sea and another large lanai off the living room. You will not be disappointed, plenty of private places as well as places to be together as a group.

Poipu Family Vacation

Property was beautiful and clean. Fully stocked kitchen with all the items needed for cooking with the family. Plenty of space for parking and small water spout to rinse off feet prior to entering the home. Lovely property; but a whole house away from the water. Beautiful ocean views looking over another house or between two other homes. Listing described as entire house; but definitely not the case. Homeowner’s suite (inaccessible to guests) is attached with an adjoining locked door to one of the master suites. Bedrooms had plenty of space with full baths in each which was ideal for privacy. Living and community areas were very limited unless you opened up the sliding doors to the beautiful lanai. No A/C made it tough to sleep during warmer evenings. Condo parking lot located directly behind the home made for some rough nights with car alarms and people coming and going all hours of the night. In hindsight, we could have stayed in a true ocean front property with a larger yard and more community space for a comparable price.

Koloa Wedding

Stayed at this beautiful, spacious property with 4 adults 2 kids and it was perfect. The spacious front lanai with ocean views and trade wind breezes was the favorite hang out. The home's decor, finishes and condition are first rate. The home is elevated above the property in front of it, back off the ocean front road, makes it very peaceful.

Beautiful Location

Overall, we had a very relaxing and adventurous experience. The house was very clean and well supplied with all the essential provisions. The location in Poipu couldn't have be better. The house gets a little hot at times even when leaving all the windows open and good trade winds, but i pretty much think that's how Kauai is, most houses on the island do not have central air. I think it was somewhat disconcerting that the owner kept the ring video active at the front door at all hours, in fact there were cameras covering the entire perimeter of the house. It kinda felt like an invasion of our privacy as our conversations entering the house could also be heard. One of the exterior cameras also seemed to video the outside shower area. I thought that VRBO did not allow security camera footage unless the owner explicitly stated in their contract that they would be doing this which they did not. Nonetheless, our experience focused on island activities and not the house. I just thought i should be honest in writing my review so that future renters could also be aware of this. I agree with the many positives past renters had said in their reviews.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. Great location. Great view of the ocean. Lovely house. Our only struggle was that the house doesn’t have AC. There are fans but the house does get pretty warm even if you have fans running and windows open. We ended up buying another fan for the family room to help make it more comfortable. It helped a little but it wasn’t comfortable as hoped. We all agreed the house would be perfect if it had AC. The only other thing to note is the kitchen is well stocked but if you do plan to cook, then plan to buy spices etc as they do not have anything left over from prior stays. We have stayed at a number of vacation rentals and this was the first time we confronted Ted that but otherwise kitchen had great selection for cooking needs. The roosters crowing frequently cracked me up. We enjoyed seeing the turtles and seals while they rested on the nearby beaches.

Mahalo for letting us stay in your wonderful home. Everything was exactly as presented online. Great location and view of the ocean. Kitchen was well stocked and great to have access to the beach chairs and umbrella. The home has many windows that are very easy to open and close, in addition to fans in each room. There was always a breeze but we still would have preferred sleeping in A/C if it was available.

A Magical Stay

This home was perfect for our family’s week in Kauai! The view was magical, the porch was perfect for early morning coffee or wine in the evening, the kitchen was well stocked for a couple of nights of cooking our own “fresh catch,” and the location was close to beaches and shopping/eating! Having chairs, towels, and a cooler available made our beach days so easy! We loved it and will be back!

Great Family Property

This house was great! We stayed there with our two grown daughters, and our grandson. The house was well equipped with everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. We were a little concerned about how the view of the ocean would be, however when we arrived those concerns melted away. The only thing to consider is that the house does not have AC. This is normal in Hawaii and could get a little warm in the afternoon but in the evening it cooled right back down. We would definitely stay here again.
