If you love bumping into other tourists on the beach, eating in resort restaurants, and shopping all day, visit Princeville or Poipu. If you love falling asleep to the sound of ocean waves outside your cottage, exploring your own private beach, and taking a short drive to a cool little town with a variety of independent restaurants, then Hale Makai...

We stayed 14 days in Cottage #4. The cottage was very modern, clean and perfect for a couple who are looking for a relaxing vacation away from the crowds. If you want to be close to shopping, people watching and have a night life then this is not the place for you to stay. This is the place to read... More

We've never been much for resort hotels or condo developments, preferring instead to put ourselves close to the culture of the places we visit, while still having many of the creature comforts we older folks have become accustomed to. For us, Hale Makai Cottages proved to be the perfect blend of comfort and culture; simple, yet furnished to anticipate almost... More

My wife and I recently spent our honeymoon at Cottage #1 in early September. The weather was perfect and the location was amazing - so private that it feels remote but just a short ride from Hanalei and Princeville. While we mostly never left the property, we did take a few day trips to Tunnels Beach and the Kilauea Lighthouse.... More

We've just spent a small fortune to stay in #3 Orchid for two weeks, and I'd love to give Hale Makai 5 stars for all that's right about it. The cottage is so beautiful! Abundant screen doors and windows bring the breezes in -- it's like living in a luxurious porch right on the beach. Views everywhere are spectacular, and... More

My wife and I stayed in cottage #2 for our honeymoon. It was simply amazing. We ate our meals on the back deck which is literally 15 feet from the ocean. Our bedroom had a sliding door out to the deck and we fell asleep to the sound of the ocean every night and awoke to the sun rising over... More

Staying at this property was the best decision we made for our honeymoon! We stayed in the Plumeria cottage and it was just amazing. The kitchen and appliances were top of the line and the decor was nice as well, but it was the breathtaking view of the beaches and landscape that really made the stay so special! These cottages...

Location, location, location! The beautiful North Shore of Kauai offers it all. The beachfront cottages at Hale Makai are perfectly located. These five cottages are situated on a secluded 2 acre piece of property. Each one offers its own privacy. We were fortunate to stay in cottage 3 which is located directly in front of the ocean. Everything about the... More

Hale Makai Cottages was the perfect place to get away from the crowds and enjoy Kauai what it got famous for in the first place: its nature's beauty. The property's surroundings are magical, heaven must be like this. A world away from the tourist crowds and noise, literally just a few steps away from the private, golden sand beach, this... More

Modern, scandanavian, clean bright decor. Placed on the ocean with private access to Ha'ena shoreline. You walk from you lanai to the sand in seconds. Tight parking spots, one for each car on dirt road off the main. Owners very nice. Hale are not raised off ground on stilts like neighboring properties. Worth the prices. Cottage 3 our favorite.
