You walk up the staircase and are immediately pulled by the huge ocean view onto the lanai. The jungle like foliage, the smell of plumeria, the ocean and the sky enchant you as the tradewinds of this perfect vacation cottage on stilts whispers its name, “Malanai”.
Rather than describe it to you, here's what guests have written in the guest book:
*We watched the whales swim by from the lanai.
*The sound of the crashing waves put me to sleep every night.
*The beach is so close I had my morning coffee in my PJ’s on the beach.
*Your kids will actually like each other when you stay here!
*This is my dream house.
*From the very first moment it felt like home.
*I’m starting to save all my money now so I can buy a place on this street *(Richard, 10 years old).
*The kitchen is so well stocked that we ate most meals here on the lanai.
*I’ve never stayed in a more perfect beach house.
Hale Malanai is perfectly situated a few short steps from the crescent shaped Baby Beach. We supply the beach chairs, towels and toys. You supply the memories. It’s the best spot for sunset viewing.
The advantage of being on stilts is that you not only get the “in your face” ocean view, you’ll catch the prevailing trade winds quite nicely as well. After all, Hale Malanai is named after those cooling winds!
The back lanai has been described as a tropical treehouse. Palm trees surround the space creating a private jungle oasis making this spot the coolest lanai in Poipu.
Got a rainy day? Pull the Murphy bed down from the wall in the living room and pile up for a movie on the TV. There’s a Roku streaming device to let you log into your favorite accounts.
This property includes beach chairs, beach towels, a cooler and umbrella. Please feel free to call us if any of these items are missing during your stay.
Sleeping arrangements: King in Master, Guest Room Queen Bed, Murphy Bed Full size pull down off Guest Bedroom.
*Reservation Fee of $150.00 is non-refundable upon cancellation. Please see guest rental agreement for all reservation requirements/conditions.

The house was very nice, well maintained and equipped. We liked the location and amenities. The only problem was the noise from the feral chickens and cats that were waiting to be fed.

Check in was smooth. Location was perfect for access to Baby Beach. The house was a little hot for a small child- so maybe not the best house for those with babies or very small children. The main rooms were cool, but the bedrooms were quite hot and stuffy for our 2 year old. There were some ants in the bedroom, even though we did not bring any food in there. Management very responsive to minor issues.Overall a nice stay, I would stay in the area, but probably somewhere with A/C until our kid is older.

Reviewer Comments:
Our family of 4 loved the house it was perfect size for us, the view was beautiful and so close to the beach. We walked over to shopping, the stores were close and there were so many restaurants nearby. The house was clean and the kitchen was well appointed. The dishwasher was leaking which we reported and maintenance did come, it leaked again though so hopefully that will get fixed soon. The furnishings were high quality and well taken care of. Overall, we were very satisfied!
