LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!!!! You cannot beat the location and access to an amazing beach. However, the house itself leaves a lot to be desired. It has high-end appliances, but the bathrooms are so old. The deck is amazing but the kitchen cabinets and drawers barely open. The bedrooms have airconditioners but the furniture arrangement means that you are not looking at the view.
Manager's Response
Mahalo for sharing your honest feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the home’s unbeatable location. We appreciate your comments about the home, and we will keep them in mind for future improvements. We hope you made wonderful island memories and would love the chance to welcome you back again. Aloha!

Our first time to Kauai! The location was great in reference to the activities we wanted to do on south and west shore. Best feature was the beach access.

This is the third time we rented the house, a few things could be improved. The house flatware is lacking small spoons, there are mostly soup spoons. The kitchen window over the sink needed cleaning. We like the new furniture and the barbeque. It would be great to hve a garbage disposal. Other than that we look forward to next year. There are three yellow jacket nests on the front railing on the righthand side at the top between the railng and the house. Also on the other starcase to the trash midway under the handrail next to the house. We saw them just as we were leaving. I recommnd the black cap with a white can wasp killer at Home Depot, not the green can you have there. Chris is a beekeeper.

The house has a fantastic location. There is easy beach access right behind the house, and it’s located in a quiet area. The beach is public, so there is a lot of foot traffic. The house is comfortable, with all the basic amenities. The bbq needs work, and the kitchen doesn’t have basic stocked items. You’ll need to bring salt, cooking oil, coffee filters, etc to make cooking easier.
Manager's Response
Mahalo nui loa for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the fantastic location and easy beach access. We apologize for the inconvenience and we have replaced the barbecue. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway soon! Aloha!

Hale Pakala is a very comfortable, well equipped home far removed from the resorts of Poipu and Kapaa. The property is lovely with the sounds of the ocean, lots of bird life, ever present chickens and quite a few pigs. The chickens go to bed and the pigs come out. On a clear night the skies are spectacular, and at the end of a clear day you can watch the sun descend to the ocean from your own strip of beach.
Just five minutes from Waimea and less than ten from Salt Pond Park and Hanapepe, all the unique attractions of the west side are within easy reach.
It is ideally suited for those on return visits to Kauai perhaps, as those who are coming to explore for the first time may wish to be more centrally located. However, if you love the drier more settled climate of the west island then Hale Pakala is an ideal choice.

Everything was great except for the Keawe thorns that are in the yard when it gets mowed.

We had an outstanding time at Hale Pakala! A private beach house on 3 acres. The description and pictures are accurate. The town of Waimea is only 3-minute drive away where you will find groceries, restaurants, and the entrance to Waimea Canyon.
The house is fully supplied with a great kitchen, 2 living rooms, 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms. Linens and towels are first rate, and the beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean.
It all makes for a great and private getaway.

Our only issue was that the gas BBQ was very dirty, rusted out and worked poorly to the point of being unusable.

Hale Pakala is a great place to stay if you don't mind HOT temp during the days & warm nights. There were 2- stand up fans & ceiling fans that helped.There was ants if you did not clean up food spills good. At night the geckos are out on the lanai for the bugs that are attracted to the lights if you leave them on.The area is DARK, great to look at stars. bring Flashlights to use out side. Kiawe trees around the yard drop thorns around the yard and beach access. You need thick slippers or shoes to walk around and to beach. Location is on the westside, far from Costco in Lihue. Traffic tricky, you need to leave Lihue to westside before 3pm to avoid traffic. Ocean is nice but sometimes brown water, little sharky, crowded when surf is up. This is a great place for our needs!!!!

This is a beautiful, very private home sitting on 3 acres on the beach. The sunsets are spectacular, and the view from the deck is the ocean and Niihau. A short walk and you're on a gorgeous beach where you can watch surfers at the popular surf spot, Infinity, also known as Pakala.
If you are looking for a place where you can just rest and relax, this is it! Besides the 2 spacious bedrooms & baths, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, living room and family room. A table that seats six is on the deck where you can enjoy meals outdoors.
There are many boat tours of the Na Pali coastline nearby and the road to Waimea Canyon and Kalalau Lookout are just minutes away as well. We are descendants of the Sinclair/Robinson family who arrived in 1864 and purchased the island of Niihau from King Kamehameha V. The land where this house sits and all the surrounding lands, the ahupua'a of Makaweli, was purchased from Victoria Kamamalu, granddaughter of King Kamehameha I, a few years later. We offer a taste of Old Hawai'i here in Makaweli.
