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, tradewinds & gentle sea breezes. The large, west-facing wraparound lanai is perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or marveling at the vivid Polynesian sunsets, while the upstairs verandah (part of a master 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.

BEST House on Poipu!
Review by
We had a fabulous stay here and it's actually the 2nd time we've stayed at this house! Very clean, updated, and awesome kitchen plus a huge lanai. We spent lots of mornings and evenings out on the lanai - stellar view of the ocean and sunsets. We also saw several whales right from the owner's suite lanai - so cool! Highly recommend this house; you won't find better! 5 out of 5 stars
Best VRBO Ever!
Review by Andrea F.
We have been to Kauai/Poipu 4 times. This was by far the best place ever! Walk to the beach, luxurious accommodations, and near all! Our family of 5 fit very comfortably and we all loved our bedrooms/baths and common area. We love BBQ-ing and relaxing on the lanai. The concierge staff were amazing and we will be back! 5 out of 5 stars
AMAZING!
Review by Shelly H.
We loved this amazing rental and the location. The lanai was our favorite spot to listen to the ocean and watch the sunsets. The house had absolutely everything you will need for a great stay in paradise. The location is perfect! We saw turtles off the sea wall daily and were lucky enough to see some whales. Thanks to the owners for thinking of everything. 5 out of 5 stars

Manager Response:
Aloha Dwight,
Thank you for being our guest and for your feedback. We wish we had known the tv stopped working during your stay. Had we known about this, we definitely could have fixed the issue while you were still in house with us. The batteries died and we replaced them with new ones. The tv now works perfectly. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to have another opportunity to host you here on Kauai.
Mahalo,
Wailani Kauai
Wonderful House & Location

This beautiful home in Poipu did not disappoint. It has everything you need to enjoy the beach. The home is impeccably decorated and has a very large comfortable lanai. We did need to consult the management company and they were very responsive, polite and professiona. 5 out of 5 stars
