Our family loved our stay Hale Kai Kalani through Parrish Collection. The home was as described, a spacious place with a view and A/C. Our family loved the large property with fruit trees & privacy. The landscape was lush, and well maintained. The kitchen was well organized. I thought the bed was perfect, but my husband found it a little too soft for his taste. The house provided everything we needed and plenty of space. We loved sitting on the deck, looking out over the trees. The beach is only a half mile away, but it is down a pretty steep hill. We drove down it & parked bc the walk up would have been tiring. The beach was beautiful, but looked rough so we drove the 15 minutes to Hanalei Bay for swimming & to Tunnels for snorkeling. I would recommend this house to anyone who wants more room and privacy than a hotel or condo on a golf course.

Great location for privacy and quiet. Awesome views and beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the peaceful town of Kilauea close by for restaurants and groceries. Well appointed kitchen for cooking.

Mahalo, Sally, for your kind review!. Happy to hear you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and views this home offers, as well as the well-appointed kitchen. It's also great to know you had a wonderful time exploring Kilauea and all it has to offer. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

We loved the view from the back deck. The birds in Kauai are amazing! Yes, the roosters woke us up early, but we got used to it and slept through. Kihili Beach is just down the dirt road next to the house, so we walked down once and drove down when we wanted to bring more stuff. The traffic on that road can be noisy, but we got used to that too. Great location, comfortable house.

Mahalo Kate for your 5-star review and thoughtful comments. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Hale Kai Kalani. We hope to host you again soon!

A very nice house. Maybe a little smaller than it appears in the photos, but the perfect size for our family of four (plus an infant). It's well laid out and the kitchen/dining/living room makes for easy socializing when preparing food. There is a great sloping lawn leading down from the back deck, which has a lovely view down the Kahlil River Canyon.

Easy drive of just a few minutes to shopping and restaurants in Kilauea. Close to Hanalei and the Na Pali Coast, but far enough away to be quieter and more rural. The location is private and quiet although there is a little bit of road noise from cars heading down to the beach but that's over pretty much at nightfall. Very quiet during sleeping hours.

Note 2: The entire North Shore closes down by 8:00pm. Plan on early dinners if you're eating out.

We would happily stay here again if and when we return to Kauai. Recommended!

Thank you for the detailed and positive review of our vacation rental. We are pleased to hear that your family found the house to be the perfect size and that the layout worked well for your needs. The location's proximity to both Kilauea and the Hanalei area seems to have been a great fit. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are glad to know you would happily stay with us again in the future, we look forward to hosting you again, Aloha.

Beautiful home. We wanted the Kauai experience and got it here. Loved hearing the roosters. Was very pleasantly surprised by the close beach & botanical gardens across the street. Loved the back lanai for morning coffee & casual dinner. Bed was very comfy.

Mahalo for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the Kauai experience and all the wonderful features of the home. We’d love to host you again!

The perfect island vacation spot.

We stayed there for 18 days. It’s truly a wonderful location. Gorgeous view from the deck. Very peaceful and private.

However we put 3 ⭐️ because the

kitchen stove was broken, and master couldn’t fix it, same with dish washer, it was broken, and master also couldn’t fix it. And in general all the equipment in the house is old.

Also it was not pleasant to wake up in the middle of the night with a cockroach on you, it happened several times.

At the end we wanted to say if owners would change the equipment and treat the house for cockroaches, we would really recommend this place and would come again, because of its perfect location.

Aloha Evgenyi for your review. We are glad you enjoyed the location of the home and the peaceful atmosphere—apologies for the stove and dishwasher. Just like anywhere, things sometimes break. We tried to troubleshoot as best we could during your stay. I am sure you understand that sometimes appliance repairs take time, even on the mainland. On-island, these repairs usually call for specially ordered parts and other issues that may cause delays. You will be happy to know that a new stove has been ordered and is due to arrive next month. Throughout your stay, we were in frequent communication and you never once mentioned issues with any bugs in the home. The home undergoes a routine preventative pest control program. We could have set up an additional servicing if we had known you were having issues. Even so, being the tropics, sometimes they come in from outside. We are sorry that you experienced this during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and hope to host you again.

Rooms with a view

by Richard H.

This house is a great location to anchor your North island fun, many beaches "one 13 min walk", amazing food, easy shopping for food / gas / etc without dealing with the Princeville traffic The lānai is spectacular, with all day shade, fresh trade winds blow right up the hill / through the house, we turn off the ample AirCon for natural breeze. Outside table and lounges are great and comfy. The house is very comfy with great couch's / tables, and yes Rummikub..!!! Granite counter tops / full kitchen / blender, I don't think coffee grinder but didnt need it as they gave us great stuff pre ground. One great think about getting to this house is that it has it's own turn lane off the main road "very safe at night". Things to note: The beach below the house is public, so you can get a bit of low speed cars / gravel driving on the road that is below the sight line of the view, but nothing at night, very quiet. Has beach chair's / boogy boards / etc Make sure to check the guest log before leaving, very interesting reading about how people used this house durning COVID, great get away... The only non 5 star "4/5" item was cleanliness, but remember this house is almost off grid and should expect some level of dust / dirt around the place "it's in the country....

Mahalo Rich for your five-star review and comments. We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the home, its location, and the beach nearby. Apologies for any dust that might have blown in after we cleaned the home for you. We would have come back to tough up if we had known. We hope to host you again soon.

This airbnb is a great find for those who like privacy, many amenities, and walkable to isolated beach. One doesn't have to pack beach gear because almost everything is provided. Parrish responded very quickly to my requests including locking myself out of the safe! Maintenance, housekeeping and office were all friendly and quick to respond. Bring ear plugs or a sound machine due to roosters, but they are everywhere in Kauai.

by Jill

Ideal spot for those who want to get away from the resort crowds. The proximity to a great beach kept us from having to drive all the time, and the beach was never crowded. Beautiful views from the lanai, in a quiet neighborhood. Close access to town made it easy to zip in/out for groceries, restaurants, or just a little holoholo around the north shore. Mahalo!

Great house

by Tayler W.

House and location was great. Very quiet and relaxing. Was nice not having people around. Only negative was the deck was rotten and I fell through the deck. Was very lucky not to be severely injured, and even luckier that it wasn’t my pregnant wife or older parents that fell through the deck. Our hammock broke on the first night, and per the conversation with the manager I thought we would get a replacement hammock which never happened. Beyond that it was great!

Mahalo Tayler you for sharing your feedback about your recent stay with us. We sincerely apologize for the incident you experienced with the deck and the broken hammock. Safety is our top priority, and we are glad to hear that no severe injuries occurred. We want to assure you that we take your concerns seriously, and as you may remember, immediate action was taken to repair the deck on the same day as the incident. Additionally, we are currently working closely with the owner to fully replace the deck to ensure the utmost safety for our guests. We deeply regret any inconvenience caused by the lack of a replacement hammock during your stay. We made every effort to find a suitable replacement on the island, but unfortunately, we were unable to locate one in time for your stay, but it was replaced after your departure. We greatly appreciate your positive comments regarding the house and its tranquil location. It is always rewarding to know that our guests enjoyed their overall experience despite the inconveniences faced. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience you encountered and assure you that we are committed to continuously improving our services and ensuring a pleasant stay for all our guests. Should you decide to visit us again in the future, we would be delighted to provide you with an even better experience. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back soon.

Comfortable house, good location but no ocean view

by Jeffi I.

This is a midsized, updated house in very good condition inside and out, next to a 1/2-mile walk or 2 minute drive down a dirt road to a very nice white-sand beach that\'s not too busy, but popular with surfers. The property is well located within 15-20 minutes\' drive of the best beaches in Kauai, 10 minutes from grocery/bakery/restaurant/gas, but there\'s not much activity on the house\'s street itself. House has 2 good bedrooms and 2 good bathrooms, a fully-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and comfortable living/dining room. All rooms have ceiling fans and there are a couple of air conditioners which we did not use, it was never too hot or humid inside. Everything is in very good condition, all appliances work, kitchen offers everything you\'d want. The rental loses points because there is no water view as shown in the listing...those trees are taller now so zero ocean view. The back of the house lanai/deck faces that view, which is green and lovely. There\'s a teak dining table, two chaise longues, and a hammock. House is pretty private, no neighbors adjacent and you\'ll hear the ocean softly in the background all the time. There is some noise from the dirt road leading to the beach immediately adjacent to the house, so you do hear surfers\' SUVs and pickup trucks going down in the morning and returning in the late afternoon, this might bother some. But it\'s less noise than you\'d get in a denser neighborhood or a busier road. Overall this is a great place to stay on the north shore, but the listing should be updated to remove the idea of \"water view\".

Mahalo Jeff for your thoughtful and thorough review and comments. We agree this house is nicely located on the North Shore, close to beaches and shopping. Those photos were taken some time ago, and as you mentioned, the trees have grown. We will be sure to re-evaluate the details of the listing, Mahalo. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Aloha and a hui hou.

by Sarah, Portland, OR

Our stay was lovely. The house was comfortable and really well located. We enjoyed the 15 minute walk to the beach, easy mornings on the lanai watching the chickens and short drives to great hiking. The only disappointment was lack of kitchen supplies such as oils, tin foil, spices ... We had a great time.

Mahalo Sarah for your five-star review and comments.  We are so happy that you enjoyed the home.  Glad that you got to enjoy the beach and explore the island.  For the safety of our guests, we do not leave open food items like oils or spices inside the units.   We look forward to hosting you again soon.

by Carrie, Croton-on-Hudson, NY

This place is a gem. Cannot beat the location, natural beauty, privacy, convenience, and value. Close to all north shore destinations including a beautiful beach and swimming hole just down the road. It was perfect for a family of 4—clean, comfortable, and spacious with breath-taking views. Perfect spot to get away from it all, but still be so close. We can’t wait to come back!

by Cathy, Saint Paul, MN

The location of this property was perfect for us during our stay on the north part of the island. Many beautiful beaches and great hikes within easy distance. We enjoyed our meals on the deck overlooking the huge yard and beautiful foliage. Lots of entertainment watching the chickens and egrets in the yard.

Mahalo Cathy for your 5-star review and comments.  It sounds like you had some wonderfully relaxing times at Hale Kai Kailani.  We are happy you enjoyed the home and wildlife and we look forward to hosting you again soon.  Aloha.

Do NOT stay here: Dirty, dilapidated, and poorly decorated

by Noah L.

Plenty of hot water, and convenient access to Kilauea are the highlights of this place. It has been substantially changed from the photos. It looks like it was decorated 20 years ago by a couple of college students with $100 budget. The house is dirty, and desperately in need of maintenance. Doors that don't open or fall off, window frames with chipped and peeling paint and dirt, one burner on the stove is broken, the hammock from the photos is nowhere to be found, the deck chairs were so threadbare it looked like we would fall through them, the ancient CD player doesn't work, cheap, scratched up pots and pans with wobbly handles, the list goes on. The window coverings in the master bedroom are two smaller, thin, plastic, stained things sewn together that you can't open, and the mismatched curtain rods are broken and fall off. The mattress has water and mold stains, and the icing on the cake was finding the blanket full of bugs. The general location is great, but sadly it's a few feet from a busy, steep dirt road to a popular beach, so the lanai and the whole house are filled with dust and the sounds of roaring engines and spinning tires on a regular basis. Either the owners are in on the plan to ring as much profit out of this place as possible, or they're being swindled by the management company.

Aloha Noah. This home has many fantastic reviews by very happy guests. We feel yours is quite harsh and possibly in retaliation because we were unable to give you a late checkout when you asked. While we cannot do anything about the dirt road, the home is on a quarterly power washing schedule to keep it fresh. Also, many of these concerns were never even raised during your time with us. You asked us for help with the door. We came right out to assist. You mentioned the lounge chairs and we had them replaced the next day, for which you expressed your appreciation. However, you never let us know about the pots or hammock or any of your other concerns while you were here. We've addressed these items, but it is a shame we were not given the opportunity while you were here.

We loved this sweet, comfortable house where we stayed for 8 nights. It was perfect for our family of four. It was well stocked with (almost) everything we needed. We enjoyed breakfast and birdwatching on the back deck, overlooking the beautiful yard. Cooked dinner on the grill every evening. Slept soundly on the comfy beds. And really appreciated the tasteful and interesting art decorating the place. The location is terrific. Love the North Shore vibe in general, and Kahili Beach is wild and spectacular. We would definitely stay here again if/when we return to Kauai.

Mahalo Mara for your 5-star review and thoughtful comments.  We could not be happier to hear how much your ohana enjoyed their time at Hale Kai Kalani. We are happy that you loved the North Shore and we are already looking forward to hosting your next stay.  Aloha and a hui hou!

I can’t state enough about the value of this property for the price we paid. The landscaping was a dream come true, even when it showered. We could just sit on the lanai, or in the hammock, and day dream for hours. Parrish was very easy to work with and extremely responsive when needed. Which was pretty much never during the stay. Be prepared to add basic spices and condiments/oil to your grocery list on the way to the property if you plan on cooking at all. Also, the place was very clean considering how wild it’s surroundings were. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again in a heartbeat. Just wear a mask around the island and hopefully they won’t have to shut down again and keep our return from being so long next time. :). Oh, and of course being the moister side of this tropical island…bring some insect repellent.

We had wonderful time in this house! It has absolutely everything you need! Kitchen is well equipped, they provide beach towels, bathroom necessities, beach equipment for kids and we especially appreciated the beach chairs ???? The location was perfect, it is secluded, but not far from restaurants and shops, 5 min drive to Kilauea, 20 min drive to Hanalei. There is a nice isolated beach (10 min walking downhill) for those who like waves. On a clear day, the sea can be seen from the terrace, the backyard is absolutely beautiful! The instructions for check in and check out were clear ( just be sure to follow the instructions provided to find the house, don’t count on the google maps to find the exact location). We definitely recommend this place!
Mahalo Olga for your 5-star review and comments! We are thrilled that you loved the home, its location, and all the included amenities. We appreciate your recommendation and we cannot wait to host you again soon. A hui hou!

Highly recommending this house to all friends and family. Thank you

by Mark C.
Peaceful and the beach was close enough to walk or drive. Huge yard to enjoy. Hate to say it but maybe more comfortable chairs on the deck. Otherwise a perfect location and experience for me and my wife. Fruit trees are delicious. Thank you for a great vacation!!!!!
Mahalo Mark for the 5-stars, recommendation and comments. We will pass on your comments to the owner on the chairs. We are glad you had a great vacation and look forward to hosting you again soon. Aloha

Peaceful location

by Sasktraveler1
This is such a beautiful location, 10 minute walk to large quiet beach and also garden tour. The house is equipped with everything we needed and more. Picking fruit in the yard was a great bonus. We would love to stay here again. Rooster alarms were free and sometimes a little early but definitely worth it.
Mahalo Sasktraveler1 for your 5-star review and comments. We are glad to hear that you loved the home and its location. We are so happy that you got to enjoy the fresh fruit on the property. We are looking forward to hosting you again soon! A hui hou.

Peaceful hidden getaway on a beautiful property

Beautiful location, relaxing, close to plenty of things

by William S.
Great house, fruit trees on property, close to many beaches, the Lanai is epic. We cannot say enough good things about this house. Perfect location for us (we like privacy and quiet). Close to beaches. Great location on the North Shore. Property was gorgeous. Very comfortable. Kitchen had everything necessary. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It was a group consisting of myself, my wife, my in-laws and my 8 month old son. Perfect in every way.
