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.

Perfect spot!

House was perfect for our family, and we appreciate that it came stocked with all the necessities (paper towels, laundry detergent, etc). Beaches in walking distance, pool and hot tub a short walk. Being right on the greenbelt was amazing. Highly recommend!

Poipu Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay. The house is great. The location on the Poipu Kai Greenbelt was a big bonus. Wailani (Sean) was on top of everything. Would stay here again.

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!

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!

Great property and great location right on greenbelt pathway. Two minor issues: lockbox combo was incorrect, garage is not included although listing says differently. We would all happily stay here again.

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!

Dream Home!

Everything was perfect with this home. Sean was super accommodating too! The cleanliness was the first thing we noticed, then the lanai! We were challenged by one thing… not wanting to leave! If you have a chance to stay here you will love it!

Great house in Poipu

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: We found this house worked really well for three couples. There were three separate bed/bath areas, one with the laundry machines, and comfortable living and cooking areas. the house was easy to access and being on the pathway meant that it was convenient to walk to and from both Shipwreck Beach and Poipu Beach. Easy communication with the management office.

As we figured out last minute logistics to extend our stay, the crew at Wailani Kauai were nothing but kind, professional, and extremely accommodating. All the thanks in the world for helping us through a difficult time in an amazing property.

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!

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.
