The home was amazing and absolutely beautiful.

I am terrified of snakes and lizards, home has lizards inside and outside, I was not aware that this is a normal thing.

Our group of 4 had a wonderful time at this home and could have easily fit more people. The location felt secluded but still close to nearby grocery stores and restaurants. The property is GORGEOUS and the views from the public spaces and outdoor kitchen/gazebo are stunning. We had trouble with the water heater working on one side of the house, but the maintenance crew went above and beyond to fix it. The beach access is more difficult than described, but it was worth the trek for these 4 adults (I wouldn't call it kid-friendly). Overall had a fantastic time and would definitely rent again.

As many have described, the property is beautiful and private. The views from the house are breathtaking. Especially the sunrises each morning! We loved walking to the beach and walking the grounds. The orchard was peaceful & lime trees were my favorite.
The house was so comfortable and has everything you need, especially in the kitchen and bbq building.

The most incredible immaculate grounds and location . We felt as if we were on our own resort . The private beach was only a 10 minute fun walk through the lush terrain . The views and sunrise were breathtaking and our three girls are already wanting to return .

The house was beautiful and had almost everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. We were bummed the hot tub was not in working order since we were looking forward to that, but either way, we still had a lovely stay. The house and location were idyllic and there was plenty of space for us to spread out.

The pictures don’t do the property justice. The grass around the main house was golfing quality. Walking around barefoot was pleasing to the feet. The house inside and out was outstanding. The views was amazing. We left the property everyday to go on adventures. The island is beautiful and if you want to stay in a beautiful place while your there, I would recommend this place.

This is a fantastic property, impressively sited with sweeping ocean views. Only considerations are a) poor beach location (15-20' walk, not a great swimming beach) and b) no air conditioning (hot already in May).

Great east-facing modern house in wonderful clifftop location overlooking Pilaa beach (not a swimming beach). Excellent outlook for whale and bird watching. Very private large garden property well maintained. Good child-friendly beaches near, by car. House well equipped and spacious with the two bedroom suites privately located at either end of the living areas. Outdoor decks and a hot tub have garden and ocean views. Separate Pavilion well away from the main house provides extra sleeping accommodation and table tennis. It also has a wonderful outdoor shower. A gazebo located down from the house towards the ocean offers extensive garden and sea views, an indoor barbecue and a large circular dining table seating eight. Good shops for general supplies are located relatively nearby in Princeville. A surprise and pleasant aspect of our stay was a roadside stall, on the approach to the house, where local produce such as papaya and coconuts could be bought and paid for in an “honesty box”. Wonderful!

We would stay here again.
A few items which would improve a future visit are: Outdoor drying line for beach towels, a laundry tub, blinds or curtains to reduce early morning sun and glare in the dining area and bedside reading lights in the Pavilion.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kai Halulu. The house is architecturally interesting and the grounds were beautiful. With the sliding doors open at night we got some nice breezes through the house. We loved what we called the grilling hut and used it almost every night. We had no issues and really felt at home there. Would love to go back some day.

The property is truly phenomenal. Gorgeous landscaping, access to a private beach. The home layout on the website is very misleading, and negatively affected our visit. There are in fact not 3 separate masters. There is one primary master, that has an attached room with a queen size bed. This master is worthy of their description. There is a second master on the other end of the main house that is also very nicely appointed. The other bedroom is essentially a maid quarters attached to the garage.

There were features in the house that did not function well or at all, and are not worthy of such an exceptional residence or the price that was charged. For example, the music system in the house does not function at all. We were told to use a cheesy boombox instead. Very disappointing! The grill in the gazebo needs some maintenance as the burners did not work properly. Some of the lighting does not work properly. Overall, the home needs an update as it has a major 90s feel to it.

Also, when we arrived, the property was not exactly spotless. We had to call the management company to provide extra cleaning, which was provided.

The property management representative seemed marginally useful and marginally professional. When he answered the call with our initial concerns, I could hear a television set running in the background, and he seemed indifferent to the concerns. The concierge service representative on the other hand was very responsive, professional, and pleasant, and helped one member of our party out greatly in arranging a massage and giving tips on some local dining spots.

2nd time to stay here. Stunning views; beautiful home. House hot in day but cool at night. Great BBQ gazebo. Could use some comfortable outdoor seating & an umbrella would be nice. Beautiful indoor dining table & benches..but not comfortable. Chairs with backs needed. We loved whale watching all day from the patio. Spectacular landscaped property. Peaceful & private.

We were looking for a quiet retreat and found this beautiful property. It is exceptionally quiet (except for the roosters!) and well decorated.

My biggest cons are that I wish there was some comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy the surroundings. Inside the house It would have been nice to have some comfortable chairs by the windows. The air flow in the house is definitely an issue on hot days. We used the 2 floor fans in the house to assist but I think in the summer this would be more difficult to manage.

The property person was not responding which made me nervous but as soon as I sent an email, I got a call.

We rented this home for a wedding in Hawaii. The property is lovely and large. The design of the house is very modern and it was clean and well cared for. The layout it a little strange with some connected rooms and bathrooms, but we made it work. The sound system didn't work during our stay which is a bummer.

Could not have been better. When you park at the garage and walk down to the main house we were amazed. The pictures do no justice as the ocean views from the property are awe inspiring. We loved the seperate gazebo and spent many of hours in there enjoying the company and warmth of the room. Home was so clean and has everything you would expect from a luxury rental. We will be back next year

Views were breath taking from every room and square inch of this over the top
Maticulously maintained house and manicured 10
Acres ESTATE. The commanding views of the ocean unsurpassed. The location on the island PERFECT. The octagonal eating gazebo amazing and so well appointed with refrigerator, ice maker and Wolfe appliances. The only thing that was missing was a Hawaii life representative to go through the house with us to explain the intricate stereo system, the outside gas torches, and ins and outs of the house. A ++ on the property.

It is exceptionally quiet (except for the roosters!) and well decorated. <br/><br/>My biggest cons are that I wish there was some comfortable outdoor furniture to enjoy the surroundings. Inside the house It would have been nice to have some comfortable chairs by the windows. The air flow in the house is definitely an issue on hot days. We used the 2 floor fans in the house to assist but I think in the summer this would be more difficult to manage.<br/><br/>The property person was not responding which made me nervous but as soon as I sent an email, I got a call.<br/><br/>We did enjoy the property very much.

Manager's Response

Aloha,
Glad to hear you enjoyed the quiet tranquility of this property! Mahalo for your review and suggestions about some possible improvements. We look forward to hosting you again in the near future!

We stayed in this beautiful house on Kauai for 3 nights, still regreted not to extend for more nights:( Me and my boyfriend had a family trip with his parents during this winter vacation, we spent some nights on other two islands and the last 3 nights here. When I first planned to book the whole trip, I picked Oahu, Big Island and Maui as most of other tourists would do. However, while I was browsing online and trying to find some good places to stay, I first found this house on airbnb (it was a lot more expensive there, at least 350 dollars more per night, and luckyly I found hawaii life later) The photos of the house took my heart at first sight and I threw away the original plan and changed it to Kauai instead of Maui. It proved that we definitely made the right choice.
The house was wonderful! Perfect location, can wake up every morning and watch the ocean directly from your bed. Also the house is huge! Too big for four of us. Even have a room in the parking garage. The point I like most about the house is the big windows and interesting structure, you will never see at somewhere else. And when I checked the photos, I thought the other photos are showing some sharing public areas with the huge field, turned out that everything belonged us! Moreover, the owner had so many stuffs at home and nicely shared with us, we didn't need to buy anything or ask for helping. And Eric, our agent, wrote me a welcoming letter, it was short but cute.
Don't hesitate! This house definitely worths more than the price. My boyfriend's parents were even thinking about buying the house for our next vacation, but unfortunately it's only for rental. Anyways, perfect staying, didn't want to leave at all. I probably didn't write many things important, but no need to say, the house had no weakness. Thanks for the owner to share this house with us.

The privacy of the house without any other houses in view made this place very special, and the ocean view made us want to spend most of our time on the property instead of going out to dinner. The grounds are immaculate
and all the rooms in the house face out to the ocean.

All aspects of the house were build with high quanity standards. Hawaii Life
agency was efficient and had the house ready for occupancy prior to scheduled check in date.

We arrived for our wedding week to stay at this stunning property.. We were blown away at the beauty of the location. Wild windswept and private. It was perfect. The architecture of the home was amazing ( at night from the garden it looked like the bow of a ship) and their detail to attention within the home was stunning and elegant but cool at the same time.. Beautiful stonework throughout the house and lots of additions from South East Asia I think which I love. We are already talking about coming back and staying. In hindsight, we wish we had come directly to Kauai and stayed for our whole holiday here at the Kai Halulu.

My family had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house. The house layout is open and comfortable with amazing ocean views. There was quite a bit of Whale activity off the shore while we were there (mid March). The gardens are immaculate and beautiful. The pictures on the Hawaii Life website show exactly what you are getting.

The house is well ventilated with a cross breeze if you open the vents along the bottom of the windows. The neighborhood is quiet and the sound of the waves crashing to the shore is wonderful.

the house is perfectly situated above the the constant rolling waves. The garden is immaculate and beautiful with many details. Inside was spacious , tastefully adorned without being cluttered. simple and elegant. I disagree with other review about ventilation, there are vents all along the floor of the entire house, with those open and screen doors , there was anise breeze.

We had a fantastic time on the beach at Kai Halulu. the landscape of the private grounds was unbeatable. the privacy and relaxed vibe were unreal and just wonderful. The only complaint we all had was the design of the beautiful looking house was just weird in terms of air flow. Stagnant would be an understatement. All those amazing windows just turned the place into a hot house (green house). I've always visited Kauai and Kilauea in winters past and stayed at some of your cottages in Kilauea. The air was of course cooler then and the wind moved things. the smaller dwelling made it easy to get air through. This time and with no real ability to open the windows was almost a downer of the highest degree at first...... we arrived on one of the hottest and rainiest days of the summer apparently. so muggy and hot and, with the price tag, having no AC and no natural air flow was kind of a deal breaker at first. the location won us over after all was said and done and the weather did ease. BUt I would not choose to stay at this property again during the summer-like months most certainly. The place was very clean and the grounds are once again exquisite (to put it mildly). after getting "acclimated" we had a very wonderful experience. The Mosquitos were pretty serious there too this time..... so Definitely, upgrading the house with a good AC unit and more natural air flow would be a wise investment I would think for Kai Halulu. With much gratitiude, Chris

Manager's Response

Aloha so much for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that other than the heat, you enjoyed your stay at Kai Halulu. We would like to mention that due to Kauai's constant blowing trade winds, only 5% of the homes on Kauai have A/C. The weather you experienced during your stay was not typical as the air was uncommonly humid and HOT and there were no winds to cool things down. Please reach out to us next time and let us know that you are uncomfortable so that we may provide you with some floor fans. Kindly, The Hawaii Life Team

We rented this home for a wedding in Hawaii. The property is lovely and large. The design of the house is very modern and it was clean and well cared for. The layout it a little strange with some connected rooms and bathrooms, but we made it work. The sound system didn't work during our stay which is a bummer.

Could not have been better. When you park at the garage and walk down to the main house we were amazed. The pictures do no justice as the ocean views from the property are awe inspiring. We loved the seperate gazebo and spent many of hours in there enjoying the company and warmth of the room. Home was so clean and has everything you would expect from a luxury rental. We will be back next year

Could not have been better. When you park at the garage and walk down to the main house we were amazed. The pictures do no justice as the ocean views from the property are awe inspiring. We loved the seperate gazebo and spent many of hours in there enjoying the company and warmth of the room. Home was so clean and has everything you would expect from a luxury rental.

This private and elegant 3BR/3BA house is a masterfully crafted one-of-a-kind home that boasts exquisite custom design and detail throughout both the exterior and the interior.
Perched cliffside on 10 acres above Pila'a Beach on Kauai's North Shore, this property offers numerous spots to take in the sprawling views of the crystal blue Pacific to the east and verdant mountains to the west. As well, a ten minute nature walk with incline on the way back leads to a remote and idyllic beach below.

While all three bedrooms have king size beds and ocean views, the rest of the interior was planned with luxurious precision, with rich hardwood floors, abundant deck space, a grand entertainment room with home theater, unique features such as a dining gazebo. One of the master suites is a separate unit with king bed, 1/2 bath and outdoor private hot/cold shower, not connected to the main house but accessed via a walkway several steps away. The master suite in the main house has an attached den with a queen bed.

Bedroom 1: King bed with en suite, attached den with queen bed

Bedroom 3: King bed with 1/2 bath and outdoor (only) shower, separate from main house
