Sunset Makai Hale

Overall excellent stay. Thank you very much and look forward to visiting again.

Beautiful home in a spectacular oceanfront setting, great staff and support.

This property is high end but you get what you pay for. I only book with Parrish when I come to Kauai. Exquisite properties that may seem costly but deliver the quality in an efficient and friendly way. No unwanted surprises and a culture designed to enhance yours stay on this most beautiful of the Hawaiian Islands.

This is our second time renting this wonderful home! When you first arrive you are welcomed with several local favorite snacks from coffee, chocolates, chips to a freshly made pitcher of mai tais! If relaxation is your goal, don't look any farther! The view of the ocean is close and personal from all areas of the house, yard and even from the 45 foot pool! Your host provides a unique architecture that combines comfort, beauty and island tradition! It Truly blends the inside and the outside with amazing use of windows! The house has an amazing kitchen with all the bells and wistles ascwell as an outdoor grilling station! They have thought of everything from pool toys, board games, yard games and much more! The home is located near great attractions like the blow hole, fine dining and poipu beach, as well as shopping and other restarants! The 4 bedrooms all are private and have great ocean views and beautiful updated bathrooms! Book your stay today, you won’t be disappointed!

What an incredible property and home! As shared by other reviews, even these beautiful pictures do not do this home justice. The interior of the home is open and has many windows and sliding glass doors which makes it feel like there is almost no transition from inside to out. The views, most especially from the back patio/pool area can’t be beat. There is a small patio right at the water’s edge which is perfect for breakfast every morning. Unbeknownst to us there are many parakeets that stop on the palm trees on the property every evening and take off each morning making for an incredibly unique experience especially for nature and wildlife lovers. The home is conveniently located to so many of the island’s sites and great restaurants. Every day was a dream. Another great aspect of the home were the small pictures and explanatory notes about the history of the home which added such a great touch! We cannot wait to return again!

Every exquisite detail from art to landscape, this spot can not be outdone. This home is Immaculate, Accommodating and a great location with a private beach where the waves soothe you all day and into the evening. Ideal for sunsets, surfing, spotting sea turtles, along with a beautiful pool for lounging and swimming. Wonderful amenities for cooking or entertaining, with great restaurants close by as well. Golf, hiking, catamaran sight seeing trips, snorkeling, diving, all very close by. A Sound system with piped in music for indoor/outdoor enjoyment was just an added bonus to put the shave ice topping on the trip of a life time!!! This is a very highly recommended place in a very relaxing, decompressing atmosphere.

Loved this beautiful house! Pool was fantastic! Views were beyond incredible. The house is even better than the pictures. There are atriums throughout the house so you feel the outdoors is inside. I was initially worried about no air conditioning in the living areas, but the open air and breeze is better.. I think over 10 sliding glass doors. It felt like a luxurious hotel but you had it all to yourself! Perfect the bedrooms had air conditioning at night. Thoughtful touches like the pitcher of mai tai and gift basket of treats when we arrived were greatly appreciated. Wish I was back there already!

This place is just stunning -- better in person than the pictures. But it is also completely casual and easy to relax in. There was a place for everything -- the soccer fanatics (it was World Cup time) had a place to watch without disrupting the tropical ambiance and everyone loved eating out by the pool and watching the sunset. Not pictured there is also a large side yard covered in grass. We had games of lawn bowling there. It was just too short.

The Sunset Makai Hale is like a dream Hawaiian beach home situated on lush grounds on a rocky outcropping directly on the ocean. People will book a month in advance at the nearby Beach House restaurant just to have the same sunset view that you will have every night here. We had 8 adults and a two-year-old spend 13 nights here and we were all reluctant to leave. The house is as beautiful as you see in the photographs and there were no negative surprises. The kitchen is remarkably well furnished for a rental including a food processor, blender, an air fryer, hand mixer, kitchen gadgets, and multiple sets of glasses, cups, and dishes. We really appreciated the dedicated 'beer fridge', ice drawer, and the two dishwashers. Our grandson enjoyed the small and protected "keiki cove" beach located next door. Flocks of large parakeets roost on this section of shoreline every sunset. We all enjoyed watching the hundreds of bird swooping, squawking, and jockeying for position on palm trees while drinking a cocktail on the deck. The birds, however, will poop on your car overnight. Fortunately, there is garden hose in front for washing it off. One caveat: Kauai is in the tropics so you can expect some 'unwanted visitors' to sneak into the house. Ours included a spider, centipedes, geckos, large cockroaches, and a mouse. It's all part of the price of living surrounded by lush island greenery, so don't get freaked out and just deal with them. We would definitely rent from Parrish again.
