great summer girl’s trip!
We had a wonderful stay and would gladly return. The location was excellent—close enough to enjoy everything the area has to offer while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.
The living area was comfortable and inviting, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. One of our favorite features was the beautiful patio, where we enjoyed morning coffee and evening dinners in a lovely outdoor setting.
The easy walk to the beach was a huge plus, and we especially loved having a charming coffee shop just a five-minute stroll away. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the conveniences we needed, making meal preparation simple and enjoyable. The laundry room entrance was also very convenient and made it easy to keep up with towels and beach clothes during our stay.
Another favorite amenity was the outdoor shower. We found ourselves using it multiple times a day to rinse off after beach walks and outdoor adventures. It was both convenient and enjoyable and really added to the relaxed island experience.
Overall, this property offered comfort, convenience, and a fantastic location. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

great stay in haena
We had a wonderful time at this home. It's a short walk to the beach, and the scenery and relaxed feel of the area are both very special. The house itself is comfortable, clean, and spacious. Highly recommended.

our beautiful hale alealea family experience
From grandparents to grandkids, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at beautiful Hale Alealea. The house was very comfortable for the 8 of us, spotless and attractive, the kitchen fully supplied with everything, and the TV had all the streaming services for movie nights. The laundry room was a godsend. The landscaping of the property was exceptional, surrounded with many of the tropical trees and plants of the island including lots of room for the kids to play. There was a complete selection of beach equipment available. At first we felt the house was remotely positioned from the places we wanted to visit but we quickly adapted and didn’t mind traveling an hour or so to get to other parts of the island. Just wish they could fill those nasty potholes in the neighborhood! But the location is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The aloha spirit is definitely there.

The county does work on repairing the potholes, though it can be challenging to keep up with the wear and tear caused by the natural elements. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in the future! Aloha!

a beautiful and relaxing stay in the best place on earth
I booked this house for my family and friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. The house was perfect to accommodate our size and needs. We had an infant and toddler and it was great! Plenty of space to run around and not too many things I was concerned with for baby proofing. We all had our own bathrooms and space which was nice. The house came equipped with beach towels, chairs, an umbrella and coolers. The washer and dryer were great and we used them daily. The location is of course perfect. Just steps from some of the best snorkeling on Kauai. Evenings were spent on the lanai and late at night the star gazing was out of this world. It’s such a magical place. I hope to have another chance to come back again.

wonderful home in heavenly location
We absolutely loved staying at Hale Alealea! The home was clean, welcoming and very comfortable. The grounds were lush and well cared for. We felt tucked away into our own private paradise. Check in/check out was super easy and we were well taken care of.
Highlights: The wrap-around porch was perfect for meals and relaxing. The home is charmingly decorated and has an authentic Hawaiian feel. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes/tools. We loved the outside shower and bbq. The home provided plenty of linens, bathroom supplies and beach towels. Proximity to Tunnels Beach was so special and we also loved walking across the street to the local shoreline, even though it wasn't suitable for swimming. The location is remote but that provides a lot of privacy and we enjoyed exploring the immediate area. The Waipa farmers market was really special!
Lowlights: A few things are a little rundown - the knob on the oven didn't work properly (you could tell it had been recently glued on) so we couldn't use the oven. But we were able to use the toaster oven so it wasn't a big enough deal to complain. One couch is very dirty and soiled so they have spread an old bed sheet over it. Seems like they should invest in a couch cover or some clean furniture. The listing didn't tell us that beach chairs, umbrellas and a cooler were provided, so we wasted money renting them from our car provider. This location is pretty remote so be prepared for lots of driving if you plan to explore the island.
All that said, we truly did have a lovely time at Hale Alealea and would stay there again in a hearbeat! Mahalo for sharing this charming home with my family. Aloha!

great location
Overall very good, The house fit our needs perfectly with a great separate space. One problem was no windows in the back of the house so rain came in a lot making the two back bedrooms unusable. We had to sleep on the couch several nights and dry our clothes.

nice stay at hale a.
We had a nice time and really appreciated working with Kauai vacation rentals. The house was well located and pretty well set up. My only comments and feedback are around some pieces of furniture - couches and dressers that seemed actually dirty and in rough shape for a nice house (orange couch in living room facing TV felt gross to sit on, dresser in two bedrooms was broken). If you were to replace a few of these dingier pieces of furniture and improve in house cleaning a bit, it would be really nice. I might also offer cleaning during the week for an additional price. We didn't have great weather but that's no one's fault.

hale alealea - fantastic spot
Hale Alealea was an amazing spot. We were two families of four and had lots of space. The kitchen had everything you need with a great BBQ on the deck which also features a great dining area. Haena Beach was a very short drive, not too bad to walk if you wanted to. Likewise, a very quick jaunt to Hanalei. Very quiet neighbourhood (except for the roosters!). Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

hale alealea house
We were: grandparents, single male adult son (43), daughter (41) with spouse and 2 year old.
This house was exceptional for its space, layout, bathrooms, use of beach chairs, outdoor water spigots for washing off sand, proximity to beach, quiet neighborhood, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. LOVED having washer/dryer, large veranda for dinners, great kitchen. We had a week's worth of meals inside (except one dinner), and had everything we needed. Local fish market provided us with great selections. We recommend this to any family group.

The home was perfect for our needs during our stay. The kitchen had all the basics that you would need to cook meals. The beach was a short walk away and very convenient. The management company was very accommodating when we needed a late check out. Loved our time there.

fine home in an awesome neighborhood
Hale Alealea is in my favorite neighborhood In all the world...In Haena, on the north shore of Kauai. This was my third visit to the house. It’s spacious, clean, and well equipped, only a block from the beach and two blocks from a good restaurant. Flowers and soft tropical air abound. A minus for some didn’t apply to me...I had no trouble sleeping through the roosters but a light sleeper might be perturbed when they go off at 4 AM.

The house is wonderful and we had everything we needed. We immediately felt at home. There is plenty of room to hang out. The grounds are lovely large and private. Loved the outdoor shower. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and if you want a massage, go see Lana down the street.
