Overall very good, The house fit our needs perfectly with a great separate space. One problem was no windows in the back of the house so rain came in a lot making the two back bedrooms unusable. We had to sleep on the couch several nights and dry our clothes.

We had a nice time and really appreciated working with Kauai vacation rentals. The house was well located and pretty well set up. My only comments and feedback are around some pieces of furniture - couches and dressers that seemed actually dirty and in rough shape for a nice house (orange couch in living room facing TV felt gross to sit on, dresser in two bedrooms was broken). If you were to replace a few of these dingier pieces of furniture and improve in house cleaning a bit, it would be really nice. I might also offer cleaning during the week for an additional price. We didn't have great weather but that's no one's fault.

We were disappointed in the condition of the home. The location was lovely. Everything needs help and updating. When we arrived the downstairs shower had 2 old bandaids laying on the floor. Lighting is poor throughout , especially in the bedroom on the lower level. Furniture is crummy and our mattress poor. . Dishes and glassware are total random. The kitchen garbage disposal had random items in it that we had to remove. The outdoor furniture / cushions are old and in terrible shape. All the bathrooms need refurbishment. Toilet downstairs does not flush well and There are no ceiling fans in any of the 3 bathrooms. Finally there is a roof fan on the main floor that is VERY loud and turns on when at sunrise.I am sorry but for the money we paid we expected much better.

We enjoyed the location and the accommodations were adequate. The kitchen was good for food preparation with decent appliances. On the downside, the place needs a deep cleaning, the beds and furniture need upgrades. One sofa was visibly old and soiled. No one would sit on it. Fortunately, the management team arrived the day we left with contractors and a long to-do list. Perhaps future guests will enjoy these improvements.

Steps away from beach access. Short drive/walk to tunnels and Haena beaches as well as Haena state park. Amazing patios and outdoor space. We’ll equipped kitchen. Hosts provide beach chairs and cooler. Would highly recommend.

Hale Alealea was an amazing spot. We were two families of four and had lots of space. The kitchen had everything you need with a great BBQ on the deck which also features a great dining area. Haena Beach was a very short drive, not too bad to walk if you wanted to. Likewise, a very quick jaunt to Hanalei. Very quiet neighbourhood (except for the roosters!). Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Our family of 7 had a wonderful time. The four bedrooms were perfect and having three bathrooms was a bonus. The house was well stocked with soaps and towels for the bathrooms and the kitchen had everything we needed, plus little extras like coffee, tea, basic spices. The short walk to the beach was fantastic for those evening sunsets. The yard was very private. Everyone in our party enjoyed our stay.

Our favorite place was sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves on the beach. I wish there had been six comfortable lounge chairs. There was only one. Everything else was perfect. Our rental was equipped with everything we could need including spices, sugar, flour, salt and pepper, we assume left by other renters. Bathrooms had shampoo and creme rinse too. We would go back to the same house in a New York minute. loved it.

The house is wonderful and we had everything we needed. We immediately felt at home. There is plenty of room to hang out. The grounds are lovely large and private. Loved the outdoor shower. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and if you want a massage, go see Lana down the street.

Hale Alealea is in my favorite neighborhood In all the world...In Haena, on the north shore of Kauai. This was my third visit to the house. It’s spacious, clean, and well equipped, only a block from the beach and two blocks from a good restaurant. Flowers and soft tropical air abound. A minus for some didn’t apply to me...I had no trouble sleeping through the roosters but a light sleeper might be perturbed when they go off at 4 AM.

The home was perfect for our needs during our stay. The kitchen had all the basics that you would need to cook meals. The beach was a short walk away and very convenient. The management company was very accommodating when we needed a late check out. Loved our time there.

We were: grandparents, single male adult son (43), daughter (41) with spouse and 2 year old.This house was exceptional for its space, layout, bathrooms, use of beach chairs, outdoor water spigots for washing off sand, proximity to beach, quiet neighborhood, relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. LOVED having washer/dryer, large veranda for dinners, great kitchen. We had a week's worth of meals inside (except one dinner), and had everything we needed. Local fish market provided us with great selections. We recommend this to any family group.

Very comfortable. An older house and set up well for food preparation and dining which was efficient and could easily accommodate many different interests. Small table by kitchen for breakfast and large table on lanai for lunch and dinner. Plenty of chairs and couches around for heat-of-the-day reading (ie naps). Short walk to lovely beach. Longer walk to snorkle/swim beach. Pleasant neighborhood for after dinner walk. Stroll to quite good restaurant. Ray Kroc once owned this house

We stayed at Vale Alealea over Christmas with our family. The house is comfortable and well suited for large groups. The listing is accurate except for the bed sizes - anything that says queen is actually a double. It's well stocked with everything we needed during our stay including beach chairs, umbrellas and a cooler. It could have been cleaner when we arrived. There was a lot of dust on shelves and the floor but this seems to be standard in Kauai as the previous place that we rented was like this as well. The rental company was easy to deal with however it sometimes took a day or 2 to get answers to questions we had prior to check in. All-in-all we had a lovely time and would stay here again.

Throughly enjoyed our stay at this house in a great location on Kauai’s north shore. Walked to Tunnels Beach almost every day, snorkeling and watching the sea turtles, hiked 3 times. The mudslide road closure just south of Hanalei caused a few minor issues, and staffing/supply issues at restaurants and shops were a minor issue as well, but all in all this was one of our best family vacations ever. Wi-if was sometimes spotty and the house felt quite hot in the afternoons with no A/C but again, these were minor inconveniences. Kitchen is well-stocked with cooking pans, utensils, etc. Freezer has a condensation issue
