Hale Makani Nui: Sea-View Hilltop Villa Near Beaches

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!

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.

Great Family Rest and Relaxation Escape!

Our family of 7 stayed here for 10 days and enjoyed every moment. The view from the lanai, the comfy beds and couches and the close proximity to Poipu Beach and Koloa… The house was stocked with everything we needed. And, the communication with the management company was excellent. They’d respond immediately. Highly recommend this place for a large family or several couples.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The house is gorgeous, spacious, with a beautiful view in every direction. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. We enjoyed the hot tub and found the beds were very comfortable. Everything was luxurious. We were a short walk from the beaches, and a short drive to fun food and coffee. The management team was extremely responsive when we needed some help. We would definitely recommend this house.

Nicest place we've stayed in Koloa

The house was large, well-supplied, and very comfortable. The great room had a breeze all day, and the connected lanai was wonderful for coffee in the quiet of the early mornings - not even too many roosters! The master suite was incredible with a firm bed that felt brand new. The little office on the main floor with computer hookups and a big leather chair to relax in just made the vacation for my husband. The rest of us enjoyed the breezy psithurism and the flower-laden scent of petrichor. I do need to mention the stairs, though. Yes, they were perfectly obvious in the photos so I can't say they were a surprise, but for several aging seniors, they really were quite a climb. Mahalo for a lovely holiday.

The house is beautiful and we didn’t want to leave! The living areas are airy, inviting, and comfortably accommodated our family. The bedrooms are cozy and restful, and the master bedroom in particular is wonderful. The large lanai is the star of the show and where we spent hours sipping coffee (and later, wine!), reading rooms, and playing games. The perfect vacation accommodations!

Amazing House!

Took the family to celebrate a 80th birthday for my father-in-law. The house was beautiful and a great location to the Poipu beaches. Only gripes were that since you are on the golf course, the lawn mowers and leaf blowers start at 7am, so bring ear plugs or play lots of white noise. The only other issue was the inside stairwell. Since the stairs and the floors are the same wood, 3 people out of our family of 6 missed the last step and fell within the first day. Ended up buying painters tape and marking the last step which ended all falling

Great home and location on south side

Overall, our stay was great. However, the most concerning issue was that there are cameras on the property, both inside and outside that were not disclosed. After our stay I reached out to the property management and they stated that the cameras are disabled. However, I wish I knew of their presence on the property before I booked. All other issues were minor and the property manager addressed them promptly. The home was beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the Sonos system that was wired throughout the house. The home was well stocked with all the items needed for us to cook meals. The home was also very clean and all linens and terry were as well. Assuming the cameras are removed, I would not hesitate to stay here again and would highly recommend it, especially as an efficient location for activities on the south, west, and east parts of the island.
