Rates shown are for 4 guest; additional guests up to maximum of 6 are $50/night each.
This is a beautiful, very private home sitting on 3 acres on the beach. The sunsets are spectacular, and the view from the deck is the ocean and Niihau. A short walk and you're on a gorgeous beach where you can watch surfers at the popular surf spot, Infinity, also known as Pakala.
If you are looking for a place where you can just rest and relax, this is it! Besides the 2 spacious bedrooms & baths, there is a fully-equipped kitchen, living room and family room. A table that seats six is on the deck where you can enjoy meals outdoors.
There are many boat tours of the Na Pali coastline nearby and the road to Waimea Canyon and Kalalau Lookout are just minutes away as well. We are descendants of the Sinclair/Robinson family who arrived in 1864 and purchased the island of Niihau from King Kamehameha V. The land where this house sits and all the surrounding lands, the ahupua'a of Makaweli, was purchased from Victoria Kamamalu, granddaughter of King Kamehameha I, a few years later. We offer a taste of Old Hawai'i here in Makaweli.

We had an outstanding time at Hale Pakala! A private beach house on 3 acres. The description and pictures are accurate. The town of Waimea is only 3-minute drive away where you will find groceries, restaurants, and the entrance to Waimea Canyon.The house is fully supplied with a great kitchen, 2 living rooms, 2 full baths and 2 bedrooms. Linens and towels are first rate, and the beds are very comfortable. The house was very clean.It all makes for a great and private getaway.

Kauai vacation rentals is a top notch very professional rental management company. They are also very accessible and friendly and go out of their way to spread aloha to their clients. MahaloOur only issue was that the gas BBQ was very dirty, rusted out and worked poorly to the point of being unusable.

Spacious accommodation. Upgraded appliances. Older house. A/C in master bedroom did not work. Close to beach, but beach not walkable. Overall unit was enjoyable. Very close to trails and Waimea Canyon.

First the positives: it’s incredibly beautiful- the house is on a large piece of land that leads to the ocean. The sunsets are unforgettable. This is not a beach for swimming - at least while we were there in November. It’s great to walk on and watch the surfers and listen to the waves. The house itself is very large and roomy. There is a binder with clear instructions on trash, emergencies, local beaches etc. There’s enough dishes to entertain a large group - well stocked kitchen with gadgets and appliances. The beds were fairly comfortable. Can’t speak to the pullouts as we didn’t use those. This is a two story - but you’re renting the top floor. We never saw anyone on the bottom floor - not sure if there is anyone in there. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Amazingly even the roosters are quiet at night. We loved the geckos that came out at night. Beware the enormous wild pigs that occasionally show up a bit after sundown.
The cons - it was surprisingly dirty, with many cupboards dusty and covered in cobwebs. The sugar ants are everywhere and it didn’t look like anyone had changed the traps in quite some time. Also the enormous red ants that would occasionally visit the beds in the guest room were no fun. The cockroaches in the pantry were a shock as well. Mildew on shower curtains & broken fixtures & back door lock. Could use a sprucing up & a good cleaning. I’m not generally a picky person and rare to complain but this was an expensive place, so I expected better care.

Hale Pakala is a great place to stay if you don't mind HOT temp during the days & warm nights. There were 2- stand up fans & ceiling fans that helped.There was ants if you did not clean up food spills good. At night the geckos are out on the lanai for the bugs that are attracted to the lights if you leave them on.The area is DARK, great to look at stars. bring Flashlights to use out side. Kiawe trees around the yard drop thorns around the yard and beach access. You need thick slippers or shoes to walk around and to beach. Location is on the westside, far from Costco in Lihue. Traffic tricky, you need to leave Lihue to westside before 3pm to avoid traffic. Ocean is nice but sometimes brown water, little sharky, crowded when surf is up. This is a great place for our needs!!!!

As a return guest, I can highly recommend Pakala house for a peaceful beautiful ocean view home that represents the westside of Kauai. Close to Waimea shopping, restaurants and recreation . This is a diamond 💍 that will give you the true Hawaiian 🌺 experience!! Acres of lawn leading to your own 2 mile beach 🏝️ walk or ocean experience. Enjoy.
