Hale Ohana - Beautiful 'House of the Family' - Poipu Beach - sleeps 6

Hale Ohana, meaning “family home,” is a simple, welcoming island retreat nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood just a short 10-minute walk from the crystal-blue waters and sandy shores of Poʻipū on the sunny south shore of Kauaʻi. Spend your days enjoying the island lifestyle—surfing, snorkeling, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun with your ʻohana.

This is our personal family home, and it is our kuleana (responsibility and privilege) to care for this space and to welcome guests in a way that reflects the true meaning of aloha—kindness, respect, and genuine hospitality. Our hope is to provide an affordable, comfortable place for families to experience the beauty and culture of Kauaʻi. Hale Ohana is not a luxury resort, but a clean, fully furnished home designed for those who value simplicity, connection, and a more authentic island experience.

The home comfortably sleeps 2–6 guests and features a newly remodeled kitchen with a contemporary, open-flow design—creating a warm, inviting space to prepare meals, gather, and share time together. Whether you’re cooking fresh island fish or enjoying takeout after a beach day, we hope this space adds comfort and ease to your stay.

Open the windows and let the gentle tradewinds (makani) flow through the home, bringing in the natural cooling and sounds of the island.

New Feature (Starting May 1st): For added comfort, Hale Ohana now offers full-house air conditioning throughout the home. Alongside the refreshing island breezes, this upgrade gives you the option to cool down and relax after a full day of exploring, adventuring, or enjoying the beauty of Kauaʻi.

Located in a true local neighborhood, Hale Ohana offers an authentic island living experience. You may see free-roaming chickens and encounter the occasional tropical critter—these are a natural part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi and part of the charm of staying in a residential hale rather than a resort.

Step into the backyard and enjoy a bit of island abundance, with avocado, papaya, ʻulu (breadfruit), and mango trees—available to enjoy when in season.

Within just a short 2–5 minute drive, you can experience breathtaking sunsets, seasonal whale sightings, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), blowholes, and the stunning coastline of Poʻipū.

Hale Ohana is especially welcoming for families, with sand toys, boogie boards, a portable crib, and space to relax and reconnect after a day of adventure.

If you’re looking for a comfortable home base to explore the island—a place to cook, rinse off sandy feet, and gather with your ʻohana—Hale Ohana offers a meaningful and memorable way to experience the magic of Kauaʻi.

Please note: Hale Ohana is located in a Tsunami Zone. An evacuation map is available on the refrigerator and in the Welcome Binder for your reference.

We had the best time and the Hale Ohana was the perfect location for our Kauai vacation. A well-appointed house in a quiet neighborhood, conveniently located within walking distance to Poipu beach. The disc golf course a few houses away provided hours of outdoor entertainment for the kids. We'll definitely stay again!

The hosts were great and very responsive. We really liked the location and its quiet, residential feel. The beach and nearby shops are walkable — about a 15 to 20 minute walk.There’s lots of space in the house and a beautiful backyard that’s perfect for stargazing at night. The house can get warm if there isn’t much of a breeze, but the air conditioning in two of the bedrooms worked well and kept things comfortable.

This house was pretty much the perfect size for my wife and two kids. The property was very clean and had all of the amenities listed. Although of note, the listing did state that there was no air conditioning, however there was a window A/C unit in the master bedroom, which was very nice. We stayed in Kauai during the month of August so it was a bit warm in the other parts of the house so just be aware of that.

We enjoyed our stay. This house is at an excellent location. It is very quiet with nice neighbors. You can reach each sides of the island and makes it very convenient to sight see the island. It would be nice to have air conditioning in living room.

Great visit to Kauai

We had a great trip to Kauai. You definitely want to use Makana charters for your boat ride to Na Pali.The property was in a good location and quiet (other than the roosters that are everywhere in kauai :) ). Technically you can walk to the beach --- but better to drive than carry all the beach stuff. The property provided all the beach gear you could this of.I didn't read the amenities carefully enough - there is no dishwasher and air conditioning is only in the master. The lack of A/C was only an issue when we first arrived -- once we opened the windows the kauai breezes made it cooler.

Comfortable and relaxing stay

Recently we spent a week at Hale Ohana - family and friends. It felt like home! Comfortable and cozy inside with plenty of space, beautiful and relaxing - green! - back yard! Naturally we didn’t spend much time in the house but while being there we didn’t miss anything, all amenities and necessities were present. Close to good food and beautiful beaches , great for snorkeling.

Great property

We were very pleased with our recent stay at Hale Ohana. The place is exactly as advertised, The home is stocked with everything you could need for a great stay, including beach supplies for all! We didn't cook, but if we had, the kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. There are plenty of fans and enough air flow to make up for no air conditioning. We could, and did, walk to the beach and some other nice walks from the house. Thanks for a great stay!

Superbly well appointed house

The host has obviously made every effort to equip the house with everything you need for a care-free stay. The kitchen has high quality cooking essentials. The appliances are new, including a washer and dryer. Furnishing are also high quality and tasteful. There is even a collection of beach and ocean gear. There is a wealth of local information in a three ring binder and several hiking books. The house is nicely decorated with collectibles and other items that add to a comfy feel.If I ever make another trip to Kaua'i I would definitely stay at Hale Ohana again.
