Hale Makani Nui: Sea-View Hilltop Villa Near Beaches

This lovely hilltop villa, Hale Makani Nui, or House of Strong Wind, is delightfully elevated, in every sense of the word. Its picturesque placement at the crown of a gently sloping lot gives an enchanting estate-like feel to the entire property, while also providing expansive sea-and-sunset views. The dramatic approach, flanked by plush lawns and pygmy palms, ascends to a beautiful home with graceful, soaring lines and a sage-painted façade that seems to echo the luxuriant tropical foliage all around.

Inside, the spacious, impeccably comfortable rooms, furnished in elevated-plantation style with an artful mix of luminous antiques and contemporary accessories, flow seamlessly onto inviting lanais that showcase sparkling views of blue horizon and vividly colorful sunsets. Pleasant surprises and bonus features abound: a mountain-view executive office; 2 refreshing outdoor showers; and a Jacuzzi® on the lanai near the living room, to name a few. As for location, world-famous Poipu beaches, golf courses, and hiking trails are a quick drive away, along with an appealing array of restaurants, shops, and activities. Convenience + comfort + charm: a classical equation that, in this case, equals a perfectly idyllic stay on the spectacular South Shore!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house is gorgeous, spacious, with a beautiful view in every direction. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and found the beds were very comfortable. Everything was luxurious. We were a short walk from the beaches, and a short drive to fun food and coffee. The management team was extremely responsive when we needed some help. We would definitely recommend this house.

The house is beautiful and we didn’t want to leave! The living areas are airy, inviting, and comfortably accommodated our family. The bedrooms are cozy and restful, and the master bedroom in particular is wonderful. The large lanai is the star of the show and where we spent hours sipping coffee (and later, wine!), reading rooms, and playing games. The perfect vacation accommodations!

This was our third time in Hawaii, but first time on Kauai. The home is in a perfect location, close to the beach and shopping. We loved the lanai, and the spaciousness of the home. We are sad to be leaving such an incredible home!

What a spectacular home and place to stay in Kauai. We were here for my son’s wedding and a group of eight of us stayed on the property I can’t say enough about the outdoor lanai. We spent hours and hours just enjoying the view and watching the sunsets. the space is so conducive to visiting with family and friends. I highly recommend this property and would love to come stay again. Mahalo!

This house is awesome! Family of 4 with a 16 and 18 year old. They loved having their own rooms. Plenty of communal spaces for eating and relaxing. Hot tub on the Lanai in the evenings was great! Location was perfect for us. Close to beaches and restaurants and an easy day trip to the North Shore. Hosts were quick to reply to a minor issue that we had. Check in and check out was very easy.

The house was large, well-supplied, and very comfortable. The great room had a breeze all day, and the connected lanai was wonderful for coffee in the quiet of the early mornings - not even too many roosters! The master suite was incredible with a firm bed that felt brand new. The little office on the main floor with computer hookups and a big leather chair to relax in just made the vacation for my husband. The rest of us enjoyed the breezy psithurism and the flower-laden scent of petrichor. I do need to mention the stairs, though. Yes, they were perfectly obvious in the photos so I can't say they were a surprise, but for several aging seniors, they really were quite a climb. Mahalo for a lovely holiday.

Our trip to Kauai was storybook, in no small part to the home. The architecture, landscaping, and interior of the home was stunning, it was immaculately maintained, and located in a gorgeous and safe community. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything needed for cooking meals. The bedrooms had ample space and the bathrooms were perfect. The view from the balcony was the highlight of the home! This was, overall, the best VRBO home we've ever rented. I would highly recommend this home and would happily rent again!

In the a.m. and p.m. you can hear the waves. I’m highly recommend this property. Property management was also great. Thanks to the owners for sharing this beautiful place with others.

There was construction going on next door that we and the management company were not made aware of. We had a 7-month old who was unable to sleep during the day due to the work going on next door They worked with us and were very understanding of the situation.

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: Hale Makani Nui was the absolute perfect home for our Kauai stay. We are a family of 6 with 4 young adult children. The house and all of its details were great. True luxury living. For us the lanai off the living room was the feature that we most enjoyed, including the hot tub after long days away from the home. We traveled around the island quite a bit and found this location to be perfect, both for centrality to all things and proximity to great beaches and dozens of places to eat. I highly recommend this home and wouldn’t want to stay on Kauai again unless it was here.
