Everything is as advertised. Could not recommend this place enough.

This is the perfect place to stay in Poipu with young children. There was everything we needed, from crib and high chair to beach toys, and we used the provided wagon daily to go to and from the beach. The location on the greenway was ideal, and having all the rooms on the same level eliminated fear of stair accidents by our newly walking 1 year old. Fenced in yard also a plus for similar reasons. We loved everything about the place and would love to come back again someday.

This was the second time my family has stayed at this lovely property. Cannot say enough of how delightful it is… From the location, ( ease of walking to beaches) cleanliness and organization of spaces and lots of beach paraphernalia! We look forward to coming back

Thank you so much for a memorable vacation! This home was perfect for our Birthday Weekend celebration. We traveled with lifelong friends who stayed across the greenbelt. Our party consisted of folks ages 15-50+. The beach gear in the garage was a highlight and made our stay all the more wonderful. The greenbelt was so lovely and a convenient walk to the beaches. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. Take heed regarding the driveway and parking. We recommend wholeheartedly and hope to visit again!

Traveled with immediate family (my wife and 3 younger kids) plus my in-laws (in their 70s) over the week of Thanksgiving. Location of the house was amazing and it is so comfy. We had plenty room for 7 of us. We walked to Shipwreck beach to watch sunrise every AM- literally a 5 min, easy walk on the greenbelt. Also walked to Poipu beach daily as well. Quiet, relaxing and PERFECT location..... really just amazing!

It was wonderful! Definitely one of the best houses we have had traveling. We enjoyed our visit very much. Highly recommended this beautiful house. Memories of a lifetime!

What a fun house! We stayed with a bunch of our family and it was perfect. Beds are super comfy, enough room for everyone and fully stocked. We all loved the backyard and patio! So peaceful and quiet. Easy walk to beaches. Although I will say both beaches were not what we needed for a 3 year old and a special needs teen, but we made due. There’s a spot close at shipwreck beach where some neighbors made a spot for kiddos cleaning out the rocks and piling up so the waves wouldn’t hit them. Our kiddo loved it! We couldn’t get the bbq to work great, only 1 side would turn on. So we just figured out other stuff to cook.

The location was great! We were able to enjoy Poipu beach and Shipwreck beach. Makahuena light is another must go place.
There were playpen, high chair, and life jacket for my 8 month old daughter! It was nice that we didn't need to bring so much for her.

We stayed at Laurie and Scott's house during the first part of our trip to Kauai. Personally, I enjoyed staying at Laurie and Scott's house much more than I did at a luxury hotel during the second part of our trip. The house location is so quiet and still so close to all our favorite places! The property is quite spacious, comfortable and super clean. We loved the beautiful patio leading to the greenbelt behind the house. It gave us plenty of opportunities to walk to Poipu beach with easy access to several other amenities like the pool and restaurants. The house is in a resort area surrounded by lovely tropical gardens. I believe that after staying at Laurie and Scott's beautiful home, I would never want to go back to stay at a hotel in Kauai again! Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay in this perfect location. You can walk to 2 beaches, a hiking trial and restaurants from the house. The house has a great layout for a family with young adult children and is well stocked. Wish we could have stayed longer and hope to stay again in the future!

This was our first time to Kauai and we made the right choice staying in Poipu. This house was in a great location to two beaches, restaurants and shopping. It was perfect for our family of 5. One of the best things was how much information the Allisons gave us before we arrived so I could plan effectively...it was meticulously detailed which I appreciate. Thanks for a great stay!

Could not have been any nicer! All you need is clothes and food….house literally has everything else you’re gonna need, and some. Location is great and the house was plenty spacious for 4 adults and 2 kids. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Mele Hale was perfect for our needs and made our stay in Poipu so memorable! The home is located close to several beaches including a beautiful snorkeling beach (we saw tons of fish!) as well as a perfect beach for boogie boarding and jumping the waves. My 9 and 12 year old LOVED this beach! Puka Dog is located right on the beach and we enjoyed the best hot dogs picnic style while looking at the beautiful surf.
Laurie has stocked the home with all of the essential beach needs from cozy beach towels to boogies boards, beach chairs and umbrellas and even a surf board. She is also a wonderful host!
The home was spacious for my family of 4 + my parents who joined us on this trip. I would highly recommend Mele Hale to anyone who is looking for the perfect Hawaii vacation.
Mahalo Laurie!!!❤️

Our stay at the Mele Hale was fantastic and completely met our family’s needs. The owners, Laurie and Scott, were great! They were very responsive to all of our questions throughout our booking process and our stay. The binder of information provided about the house and Kauai was invaluable.
The design of this home provided ample space for our family of 6. The bedrooms are spacious and quiet and were separated from the large open concept main living area. The kitchen was well equipped, including a kid friendly cupboard of plastic tableware. A second fridge in the garage, full size washer and dryer, tons of beach chairs, beach toys and a wagon, were added bonuses. The back yard with a bbq and dining table was completely fenced off which gave the children freedom to play safely and the adults peace of mind.
The house is in walking distance to Brennecke’s Beach, Poipu Beach Park and Shipwreck Beach and a short drive to shopping.
The Mele Hale was the perfect accommodation for us and we highly recommend it.

We booked our Vrbo home more than one year in advance in order to find the perfect location. We are so happy and grateful that everything has worked out for us to be able to enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. The home was located close to beaches and had a wonderful backyard overlooking park and pathway. The owners were always available when we needed information or advice. We would gladly advise anyone who wants a great place to stay in Kauai to stay in this beautiful home. Thanks so much to Laurie and Scott for sharing their wonderful home!!

This home was comfortable and spacious. In addition, the home was located in close proximity (walkable) to Poipu area beaches, and was very well stocked with everything a family (or group of individuals) needs for an enjoyable stay. Thank you!

The description is exactly what you’ll get! A lovely, clean, large home in a great location. We absolutely loved enjoying the backyard and walking to Poipu beach to see the turtles every night. The home is well equipped throughout; kitchen utensils, plenty of towels, pillows, shampoo/conditioner/body wash. When we arrived the playpen and high chair were already out and waiting for us. You can tell that this home is set up for an easy rental process with everything well documented and labelled. It was extremely clean and the AC worked wonderfully throughout our stay. We couldn’t be happier. Scott and Laurie were excellent to communicate with and we can’t wait to book another stay with them!

This property is so well taken care of and was comfortable, clean and fun! The layout is perfect for families. The living space and kitchen has everything you need. Outdoor patios are gorgeous.

This house surpassed our expectations. I travelled with my family, 6 adults total. The house comfortably fit all of us and could have fit one more person if we needed. There was both a courtyard in the entryway and the back yard for relaxing. The best feature though was the direct access to the greenway. Every day we took a 5 minute walk to Shipwreck beach and watched the sunrise. Just a few more minutes walk to bars, restaurants, and shopping. We used a collapsable wagon in the garage to bring chairs and umbrellas to the beach a few times. The house was very clean and Laurie was always quick to answer my questions. We already cant wait to go back someday!

I would just like to say that I would stay again in this property and/or any other property these property hosts/owners own.
The property owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They gave us the popular restaurants and ideas of the things we may enjoy to do during our visit. We also appreciated that they sent the info about 2 weeks ahead of our visit so we could research and plan ahead which we loved. We also, read the guest book from previous guests which we like to do and we did several things that our hosts and guests recommended and they were on point. We had a party of 5 staying with us, we were there for my sons wedding.
We thought the house is in a great location, it was literally 5 minutes walking distance from the nearest beach which was shipwreck beach and The Grand Hyatt, we timed it and it was just as they described. It was close to shopping and several beaches for snorkeling. The layout of the house and property (which we were comparing to the other homes around us) was great, there is a courtyard and the backyard is very private so we really enjoyed it. Everyone in our party and the guests we hosted for a post wedding luncheon were just as happy with the house as much as we were!
The hosts/owners of this home were great to work with and whenever we reached out they were extremely quick to get back to us and address our needs.
So hats off to these hosts/owners!

This condo was well organized and the cleanliness was impeccable.
We traveled from Massachusetts and when we landed at this condo after a long flight we were so happy. Our large group found the home quiet, clean and spacious. My mother took a earlier morning walk to the ocean to take it the beautiful ocean waves. We loved our time here a big thank you to Laurie and Scott. Mahalo from Massachusetts 🌺

Wonderful House
We enjoyed this home in the Poipu area of Kauai so much. Perfect location for walking access to multiple beaches. Loved being backed up to a green space. The house had a wonderful dining area out back and the wide open area of the kitchen, living and dining room was the perfect place for our family to gather. Also appreciated the beach toys/supplies in the garage. Just a really lovely house in a great location. Thank you, hosts!

Family Beach Vacation
Ideal spot for families to enjoy all that Poipu and Kauai has to offer. Easy walk on the greenbelt to child-safe beach. Home is equipped with everything you need for cooking, beach days or just relaxing, playing games, reading or watching TV. Location is also great if you want to eat out. We wanted for nothing, every detail thought out. Home is roomy, comfortable and clean. hen When we needed assistance, communication was quick...both owners and property management were helpful and friendly. Our stay did not disappoint...we would definately stay again!

The house is wonderful and it’s our second stay here. Laurie and Scott were super responsive to questions and kindly let us reschedule our 2021 reservation to 2022 because of Covid concerns. We are so appreciative! Not only is the house in an ideal Poipu location, a short walk to two beaches, it is amazingly comfortable and welcoming. There was plenty of bedding and clean towels (both bath and beach) along with a well stocked supply of hand soap, dish detergents, laundry detergent, toilet paper and paper towels. The kitchen was fully equipped and the house was sparkling clean upon arrival. We hope to return again!
