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.

Wow. This place was paradise!!! Truly the best Vrbo rental I have experienced. Interior was gorgeous, spacious, so comfortable. The lanai!!! Oh my goodness a wraparound lanai with a perfect view of the ocean. Hop over to the beach in 30 seconds. The little bed nook was our son’s heaven —he went there whenever he needed down time and loved it for reading and snoozing. The skylights and peaked ceilings—wow. The perfectly appointed kitchen. And the lovely personal touches, like Hawai-opoly board game that had us cracking up. We loved the kitties. Loved being able to walk to fine dining, grocery, shops—even while feeling tucked away from it all. We will be back! Thank you for an experience of a lifetime.

Great experience for our vacation at Hale Malanai. Great communication from host prior to arrival. Found the property in IMMACULATE condition when got there. Very clean and well appointed. Loved the keyless entry, one less thing to keep track of when going snorkeling. 5 minute walk to Lawai beach for snorkeling, 30 second walk (not kidding) to Baby Beach for great sunsets and lounging beach side. Really cool neighborhood feel you don't get staying at a condo complex.Can't wait to stay there again.

We had an amazing stay at the beautiful Hale Malanai! Such a beautiful home with everything needed for a relaxing and fun vacation! We enjoyed dinner on the patio, listening to the waves at night, using the chairs/boogie boards/umbrellas at the beach. It was so nice to be steps from the beach so that we could enjoy sunrises and evenings at the beach! We hope to be able to come back someday and we would love to stay here again! We highly recommend!! Thank you for making our trip so special!!

Beautiful home perfectly equipped and situated for a vacation. It was maybe the most well appointed house we’ve ever rented with an impressive kitchen, picnic backpack, etc. we would definitely return.

The property is in a perfect location, close to everything you need. Baby beach is just steps away and a great place to relax away from the crowds. If you want to visit the more popular spots like poipu, it is a minimal drive. You can even walk to restaurants if you aren’t in the mood to cook. The house itself is open and spacious, and got wonderful breezes all day leaving sliding doors open throughout. Our family isn’t the type to stay at resorts, and found this property to be everything we were looking for.

We had a stellar time at Hale Malani. Our flights were late and when we arrived at 23:30 the outside and living room lights were on for us. Our two teens loved the front "double bedroom" that they made their own space. We talked and ate for hours every day on the lanai. The kitchen and all linens were extremely well outfitted. The location was fabulous and private parking a bonus. The beach, restaurants, bakeries, fabulous coffee, and shopping are all walkable. Thank you to the owners and Garden Island Rentals for making this house feel like home.

My family just got back from the most incredible stay at Hale Malanai. This home literally blew us away and the pictures, although lovely, don't even begin to do it justice. From the moment we walked in we were in love. The home is tranquil, peaceful, and full of light. It is decorated beautifully. Although it only has one true bedroom, it is very spacious and totally comfortable for my family of 4.
No air conditioning, but it was truly not needed. It was so lovely opening all the windows and just letting the breeze float through. The views were just amazing, and we spent every morning on the balcony drinking coffee and just soaking it all up. The location by Baby Beach was just awesome and we spent lots of time there.
Absolutely can't wait to return!
