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!

Nicest place we've stayed in Koloa
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.

Impecable stay!
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!

Amazing House!
Took the family to celebrate a 80th birthday for my father-in-law. The house was beautiful and a great location to the Poipu beaches. Only gripes were that since you are on the golf course, the lawn mowers and leaf blowers start at 7am, so bring ear plugs or play lots of white noise. The only other issue was the inside stairwell. Since the stairs and the floors are the same wood, 3 people out of our family of 6 missed the last step and fell within the first day. Ended up buying painters tape and marking the last step which ended all falling

Great home and location on south side
Overall, our stay was great. However, the most concerning issue was that there are cameras on the property, both inside and outside that were not disclosed. After our stay I reached out to the property management and they stated that the cameras are disabled. However, I wish I knew of their presence on the property before I booked. All other issues were minor and the property manager addressed them promptly. The home was beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the Sonos system that was wired throughout the house. The home was well stocked with all the items needed for us to cook meals. The home was also very clean and all linens and terry were as well. Assuming the cameras are removed, I would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it, especially as an efficient location for activities on the south, west, and east parts of the island.

Family Trip to Kauai
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.

Best VRBO experience
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!

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 was an absolute dream! We were a group of 5 adults and 2 little kids and this place was perfect for us. Very spacious so we never felt crowded, lots of amenities, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and couches. The Oceanview lanai was definitely our favorite part. We spent a lot of time relaxing out there, enjoying the sunset from the hottub was a real treat. The Parrish group made everything easy! We couldn't be happier! Thanks for a great trip!

Home in Paradise
My family (spouse, parents, and my sister’s family with 2 small children) truly felt at home in this beautiful property. The house itself has high end and comfortable furniture and is a short drive or a moderate to long walk to several beaches and restaurants. We greatly enjoyed the large lanai for breakfasts each morning (usually greeted with a rainbow) and for dinners around sunset. Beds managed to satisfy both firm and soft mattress lovers with nice linens. The house was immaculately cleaned and wifi strong enough for two pre-teens either gaming or streaming videos constantly during their designated “screen time”. The house is nestled in an upscale neighborhood that surrounds one of the golf courses. We took walks each day around the area and the adjoining neighborhood just across the pedestrian access through the golf course. I don’t really have complaints but a few tips: 1. Buy & bring ice. There is filtered water at the sink and in the refrigerator as well as an ice machine. But there never seemed to be enough ice to match the tropical cocktails we were enjoying on the lanai. 2. Plan to bring your own seasonings and cooking oil. I’ve found rentals to vary widely on what is provided in the kitchen. This one had a good coffee machine, toaster blender, microwave, range, oven and frig (no rice cooker). The kitchen was also well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, serving and storage containers and utensils but no cooking oil or spices. 3. If you really want a big resort experience, consider staying here and getting a resort day pass. We spent 5 days in this home and 4 days in the big resort. The pools and beach front access of the hotel were great for a day or two but this home was not only more economical for our group but provided a better overall experience for our family trip.
