"I absolutely loved this home. I felt like it had everything I needed and we created so many amazing memories with our time there! I hope to make this my home away from home whenever I decide to travel to the North Shore. I’m in love with the area, such an easy and beautiful drive into Hanalei, that was so convenient. The home is so quiet and private and listening to the waves all night is something I will miss! They were prompt with any questions or concerns we had, and were accommodating, no complaints here! Thank you."

A perfect home away from home for me!
"Our family of 8 adults and 1 child had a phenomenal time at the King Hale rental property. If you're looking for a remote location, this is it. The view was incredible in both the front and back of the property and the "end of the road" nature of being so far up the north shore really gave this a secluded charm. I'd recommend it even more than being "in town" like Hanalei as long as you adequately stock up on food and drink for your stay. For that, there's a Costco and Target in Lihue that you can stop at with your rental car before the hour-long drive to Wainiha. The house was clean, the property management was courteous, and the check-in and check-out was a breeze. The one small issue, that I'm sure the managers will correct shortly, was that one of the guest bedrooms was missing two sets of blinds and lacked privacy as the lanai went right outside of the bedroom. We remedied this by hanging up blankets. As far as the beach, there are great options just a 2 minute walk up the shore in either direction. Right in front of the property is a tide-pool and pretty snorkeling reef where we saw various sea life like parrotfish, sea cucumbers, rays, and even an eel. I don't often write reviews, but we left this place KNOWING that we booked the right house.

Excellent stay for a large family
"We loved King Hale...the house, the property and the location! The main house is wonderful, each of the three bedrooms have amazing views. The bathrooms with their tubs, steam shower and views, are sweet too. The great room that is the kitchen, living room and dining area is so big & open and the huge doors that open along the back and front are incredible - they allow for views of the mountains and ocean and air to flow through the house too! The windows, screens and doors were in pristine condition which is a total benefit - we were able to have the windows and/or doors open all the time to hear the ocean waves! The balcony is AWESOME!! Front and back! The kitchen is fully stocked with items for cooking and eating in. We LOVED being here. The only downside we found is that the gym and the fourth bedroom are not accessible via the inside of the main house (you have to go outside of the main house and enter each separately) and although the 4th bedroom has its own small living space to include a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living area, it is very disappointing compared to the upper main house living space and especially bedrooms. The guests in your group/family that stay in there, do have a lower view of the ocean from the living space, but the bedroom is in the back with no view and is unfortunate. The gym is an added bonus and a nice space to workout in, again though it is only accessible from the outside. The relief map of Kauai hanging in the gym is a really nice & fun added touch, and one that we love - as we have that very same one in our home! King Hale is an amazing place, and we would be lucky to stay here again!! Oh, one more thing -- the stars at night!!! Wow!! Incredible!"

Magnificent Views of the Ocean, Mountains and the Stars!
"Beautiful house and location our family loves. The beach right in front of us is a shallow reef, and we saw monk seal resting and turtle feeding right up the shore.
The house is large enough for our family (8 adults and 2 kids). Loved the spacious Kitchen and living room. Would've liked to have a larger dining table, and the BBQ was a bit old and small for the house. They are doing renovation and couldn't accommodate some of the promised amenities, but Kevin was great at keeping us happy. We are sure to come back soon."
