Tropical breezes, ocean view and sunny white sand beaches.

Tropical breezes, ocean view and sunny white sand beaches make this an ideal vacation rental house. It is furnished in a traditional island style with a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs is a large ocean-facing master suite with a California King, an adjoining sun-room with two twin beds and a deck with a 180-degree view towards the ocean. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms each with a queen bed and its own bathroom. The kitchen, dining room and central family room offer plenty of space, sunlight and comfort for all.

Centrally located in the quaint 19th century plantation town of Kapaa on the east shore of Kauai, you will find a variety of activities. A beach protected by a barrier reef is within walking distance. This uncrowded beach is called Baby Beach by the locals because of the gentle surf and safety afforded to smaller children. Other beaches of Kapaa offer windsurfing and kite surfing or enjoy the many surfing spots on the east shore of Kauai.

Also, explore Hawaii's amazing sea life by snorkeling and scuba diving or enjoy fishing. Hike the trails of Nounou (the Sleeping Giant), a Forest Reserve that rewards your effort with views of the entire island. Paddle a kayak up Kauai's Wailua River, one of Hawaii's few navigable rivers and explore the famous Fern Grotto, Secret Falls and the canyons of the Wailua River interior. Golfers appreciate being so close to top-ranked Wailua Golf Course. In the evenings, walk to historic Kapaa Town and enjoy local Hawaiian food and a variety of fine restaurants.

The convenient location of Hale Niu allows easy access to the Na Pali Coast, Princeville and charming Hanalei to the North, Poipu Beach to the South and famous Waimea Canyon to the West.

After a busy day, unwind and relax in the private and peaceful setting of Hale Niu. Sit on the spacious veranda of this traditional Hawaiian-style Kauai vacation rental home and watch the coconut trees sway in a soft tropical breeze.

Best location
Staying at Hale Niu was a great choice for its central location. The 3+ bedroom with 3 baths home was spotless and its size allowed all 5 of us adults to relax and stretch both in and outdoors. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with dishes, pots and pans and dishwasher and the dining area was delightful. The huge lanai with table and reclining lounges was a favorite! We had a small view of the ocean but ocean access right across the street and beautiful sun rises. Even had a washer and dryer which was very helpful! We loved this home!

The place my Ohana stayed in was lovely, well furnished, ideal location and exactly as described. This was a special experience for my people. Some here for the first time, others as retuning to The Island. For a larger group like ours (10) it was simply excellent.

Great location with room to spread out!
Very comfortable house! Has one of the best equipped kitchens we've found in a vacation rental. Our group of 4 (my husband and I + our 2 twenty-something kids) found the location very convenient to explore the island or walk to town along the coast. Fabulous porch and spacious front yard provided lots of room for relaxing.

This house is also right next to the beach walk and every morning a good walk was a most delightful way to start the day. I had a couple questions before we arrived and the folks at Kauai Vacation Rentals were friendly, helpful and responsive.

Great Place for Adult Families
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed this property, not only is Kapa'a a great central location to the island making it easy to go north, south or west but it is small and pleasant. This house is spacious, clean and uncluttered. It may be dated a bit but it is clean and that is what matters. Most places are dated as it is hard and expensive to get materials to the islands. There are a couple of items needing to be fixed, like the sliding door and a couple of windows but these would not keep from renting again. Having 3 bedrooms w/ 3 bathrooms was key to having 6 adults in the house. The house stays very cool with the fans and louvered windows, being close to the shore allows a lot of cool ocean air to flow in. Having parking was a huge plus too. The home is up for sale, if it were to still be a rental we would look to use it again in the future.

Perfect for our large family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is in a great central location so one head to Hanalei (north shore) or out west to Waimea Canyon with ease. Close to lots of restaurants, food trucks, beaches and shopping. I loved that there was plenty of parking and no need to worry about finding a spot. Lovely neighborhood and friendly neighbors. The house was fully stocked with plenty kitchen equipment, towels and blankets. BBQ grill was very handy. We stayed with our adult children (& spouses) and having three bathrooms was wonderful. So close to the beach, we got up every morning and walked down to watch the sun rise. The rental company also left us some complimentary tote bags, cooler bags and welcome treats. Overall, we were very pleased and we rent this property again.

Everything was perfect for our 3 generation trip to Kauai!
We can't stop talking about how perfectly the house was laid out for our extended family. The weather was perfect and in January no less. We loved Kapaa and the whole central location. It was just sad when we had to leave. We ate every meal at the house. Costco and Safeway are near and we had fabulous food. The kitchen (galley) is so conventient. We used the grill 3 times. Grilled pineapple is the best! The kids loved all the toys and games from the laundry room. Our trip was a little slice of heaven. Thanks so much.

I felt the pictures made it look small, but to my surprise it was really big!!! The beds were the worse!!! Spend some money on new mattresses. The neighbors to the back were loud and cursing a lot and my grand babies were with us. Dislike that very much . Also ,didn’t feel comfortable in the area after reading the warning about burglaries in our area.

Pros Good location, large outdoor grassy area, well stocked kitchen, quick responses from management Cons Dated property (rust in some areas, stains on floor and carpets), ants on countertops (we kept everything very clean but there were many small ants) and in bathroom, termite droppings near the bathroom by the floorboards, noise from the street/cars at night, noise from construction on house next door (building noise and loud cursing), dead bugs on the bathroom ceiling that had not been cleaned, lots of wear and tear

Good for groups and Centrally Located
We recently stayed with a group of friends and a toddler at Hale Niu for 1 week. The house was a good layout for our group, with the kitchen serving as the gathering point. The house is in okay shape, but you can tell it hasn't been updated in a while and shows signs of the constant sea wind on the outside. The property description should be updated to reflect that there used to be an empty lot across the street, offering direct sea view and access, but now there is a house under construction there, blocking the view. 100ft to the ocean is not really accurate -- it's a 5-10 minute walk down the street to beach access. You can also walk from the house into town along a paved seashore path, which is nice. Kapa'a has some nice restaurants and shops for browsing.

Location Location Location Hale Niu-Kapaa
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time staying on this side of the island. The location was great. Property description and Pictures are accurate. Although no A/C that did not bother us. Lots of breezes coming thru especially at night. We figured that it was because we were close to the ocean. Peekaboo ocean view. 1 block from local beach. Home located 1 mile from center of Kapaa Town. You can walk along bike/walking path that is parallel to the ocean to get to Kapaa Town. Beautiful and enjoyable walk. 1 mile to Coconut Marketplace in the other direction. Its walkable but along the highway. The home was perfect for our group. The porch and lawn were the favorite parts of the house. Plenty of room to spread out in the house as well. The kitchen was organized a bit odd but we worked with it. Towels galore and beach stuff too. Although the umbrella needs replacing. Everyone we spoke with at the property mgt were so friendly and helpful. It was great we did not have to have a large chore in the exit cleaning. Most places have such specific strict rules of remove bedding etc. This place was easy exit. We were amazed we did not have to run the dishwasher upon exiting or put bedding in bathtub. We would TOTALLY recommend this vacation rental! Families would love the lawn for kids to burn off energy and the beach being so close. Although there is no lifeguard, we feel it is safe enough. Our group was a Hula Halau on Retreat from Washington State and the lawn was perfect for practicing. We met a couple of the neighbors and they were welcoming and friendly and even enjoyed watching us practice. One even invited us to Kauai Beach Resort to listen to music as he is a musician there and invited us to do a impromptu dance there. Best breakfast= Kountry Kitchen. ( Go early as there is always a wait) Dinner=Lemongrass Grill.Shave Ice= Wailua Shave Ice. Safeway, Starbucks, Subway, McDonalds even Ross Dress for Less, in walking distance less than 10 minutes away. Mahalo Kauai Vacation Rentals. We loved it

Perfect beach house for family
We spent Thanksgiving at Hale Niu with our children and their spouses. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and could use a few courtesy items like coffee filters, foil or spices. We played croquet on the front yard and did yoga. Danced under the moon and stars. Thanks for sharing this little Kapa’a gem!

Several choices of beach along the way, our family spent a lot of time on these. The town is a little funky but nice, great shave ice and poke. House itself could use a little fixing up but we’ll laid out with big yard in front of wide porch and wide kitchen area. The fans were just barely adequate to sleep at nite, house could get a little warm. The rental agency very easy to find and deal with, no hidden fees or runaround.

Great Family Vacation Home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented Hale Niu an inter generational family vacation. This rental location was a perfect match for us. We had coffee every morning at the sea wall, a 2 minute walk from our house. Watch dolphins and whales every day. Walking distance to grocery stores and other shopping as needed. The walking/bike path along the sea wall was used every day for short and long walks. The home itself, although obviously a little older was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes etc. It would have been nice to have perhaps have little things like salt and pepper. It was wonderful to have access to lawn chairs, snorkeling equipment, laundry and bbq. The large treed front yard gave us great privacy. KVR service was amazing. Prompt communication before and during our visit. The check in and check out was super easy and efficient. The bbq tank was empty but they were prompt in sending over someone to change it over. The location of Hale Niu was wonderful. Close to the water, and Kapaa is centrally located on the island. Everything on the island can be done on a short excursion.
