Liz & Chad were great with communication and had wonderful recommendations for places to see and places to eat! The property was very clean and very close to the ocean, where we found ourselves every day of our stay! If you’re looking for more authentic Kauai this is the place for you!We look forward to our next trip out!

Hale Makai was a wonderful place for us to stay. We stayed 4 days and it was very convenient and close to our family who live in Kekaha. The house was immaculate and decorated so nicely. Everything we needed was provided and the beds were very comfortable. We would highly recommend Hale Makai.

Hale Make exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts had put immense thought and care into making this a truly exceptional experience.The home was super clean and incredibly well-stocked. Whether it was the kitchen essentials, beach gear, or cozy touches like extra blankets and toiletries, everything we could have possibly needed was thoughtfully provided.Overall, our stay was nothing short of perfect. This property is great for anyone looking for a peaceful, well-equipped, and impeccably maintained place to stay on Kauai. We can't wait to return.

Was really stocked with everything we needed including beach chairs, snorkel equipment, beach towels and coolers. AC and fans super helpful and the movies and hot tub were an excellent plus! The location is great if you want nice quiet area with beaches and small towns close. If you are looking for touristy things to do, this is not your vibe. Hosts were great, attentive to our needs and we had an amazing week!

Loved the stay - great house - super comfortable! Only down side is the distance from everything (grocery stores/reataurants) but it certainly isn’t the owners fault. Very quiet stay!!!

Liz and Chad were amazing hosts! The place was beautiful and accommodating. I could have stayed for two months instead of two weeks. We loved Kekaha and didn’t mind driving to other destinations over the island. We will be staying again!

Hale Makai is a gorgeous home(cottage) on the west side of Kauai. The tranquil space was the perfect home away from home as we adventured around the island. The hosts did an amazing job communicating with us both before and during our stay, promptly answering and mitigating any issues we may have had. The home is beautiful, the hot tub the patio, the lanai, the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were absolutely perfect. The location of the cottage is perfect for a more quiet home space. It's across the street from a beautiful black sand beach, a short drive to many white sand beaches with many other adventures within a maximum 1.5 hour drive. If you like to cook, and even if you don't, you will find everything you need at Hale Makai. The kitchen is so well equipped it was a pleasure to stay home and cook our meals. Locally sourced beef, fish and coffee were our favourites. The sunsets on the west side just down the road we were told are the best on the island. Take a walk or quick drive to Kekaha Beach Park for the sunsets and views of the Ni'Ihua (the forbidden island). We hope to return to the island and to Hale Makai someday. Mahalo

My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The house was exceptionally clean upon arrival and check in was smooth. The hot tub was a great bonus and the house was stocked perfectly with all the essentials- including plenty of beach gear! Would definitely stay again!

This house was a wonderful stay, a perfect end to our vacation in Kauai. We wish we would have stayed here the entire week vs the few days we spent on the north shore. The local food, beer, and comforts of this home were perfect. We didn't use the hot tub but we would have if we stayed longer. The beds were super comfortable, the sofa was lovely, and the fans and AC were a welcome treat after a long hike. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the spices and oils you need for cooking.
