About this house rental

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!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The deck makes this property! It’s so spacious with sea views and a comfortable seating area, hot tub and dining section with BBQ. The home is well set up, with everything we needed for the beach (chairs, umbrellas). Bedrooms were spacious and everything was clean and organized. Although it’s a drive to the beaches and restaurants, it wasn’t far, but a car is essential.

It was our 10th stay on the Island and this was the cleanest best managed property. Highly recommend.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This house is beautiful and comfortable. We had 3 adult couples and two kids and it was the perfect size. It is on the golf course and relatively quiet during the day and peaceful at night. Not a lot of traffic driving by since it's at the end of the road. We were worried about not having AC in the main area, but opening the windows and doors to the deck creates a cross breeze that makes it comfortable even during the day. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Lots of beach towels and chairs to take to the beach or on scuba/snorkel. Hot tub was perfect for unwinding after a day of activities. I highly recommend this house. We had no complaints.
