| Fabulous! We had an amazing time at this upscale,well-appointed home perched on top of a cliff overlooking the breathtaking Kalapaki bay. It was perfectly fitted for our family of five, giving us plenty of space and privacy for both 3 small children and 2 adults. It's an easy walk down to the beach, which our kids loved for boogie boarding, as well as to the Mariott grounds, which provided us with a refreshing pool to cool off in after a day at the beach. Lihue offers a great central location, allowing an easy drive to both Poipu and the north side of the island. If you're thinking of staying at a hotel, especially if you are a family, think again....you can't beat this set up or the value. Can't wait to visit again. |

| We stayed at Hali Pali Kai in Oct. of 2008, with friends who had not been to Kauai before. The accomodations were incredible and the sunsets unforgetable. The beautiful home exceeded our expectations. When we gather with our friends the topic of conversation always turns to our stay at the breathtaking Hali Pali Kai. |

What a wonderful surprise awaited us as we entered Hale Pali Kai...
Truly an amazing architectural gem that makes you feel like royalty. The lay out of the home was perfect for our family. Each bedroom area was extremely well-appointed and private with luxurious bathrooms in each. The location perched on a cliff was ideal as was Hale Pali Kai proximity to restaurants, activities, etc. The owners have done a magnificent job creating one of the most beautiful vacation homes we ever rented. Thank you for making our vacation such a memorable one!

Picture yourself in the pages of Architectural Digest, seated in the great
room of this home. Now imagine the words..."Kauai's Ocean Front Home
of
the
year" as the headline. We stayed at this stunning home in February 2009,
and
felt we were privileged to do so. This is not a typical rental home. This
is
the place to rent, only if you demand the top of the line of everything.
The
owners could have scrimped on appliances, as most rentals do, but they did
not.
Bosch dishwasher, Bosch washer and dryer, refrigerator and coffee makers
are
just a few of the quality upgrades that you will find here. Designer
choices that you would have in your own custom estate home. Every
luxury was
thought of, including the pot filling faucet over the stove top.
Ocean front home? How about on top of the ocean! It's like being on a
cruise
ship...without the room moving around! Well planned, well thought out
designs of massive window- like doors to view the beauty that is Kauai,
from every
room. With these mammoth sized sliding glass door/windows open, your
olfactory senses go wild with the perfumed air of Kauai as well as the
fresh ocean
breezes. We go to Kauai about twice a year, and have stayed at the Grand
Hyatt
and other private homes in Poipu, as well as the Westin Resort and a
private home in Princeville, and must say that my husband and I greatly
prefer
staying here, including the location of this property. Lihue is such a
perfect
central spot. And after the long flight to Kauai, it's fantastic to only
have
to drive 5 minutes to get "home". The view of Nawilliwilli harbor
with the
ever changing hues of the captivating topography, and watching the cruise
ships
sail into port is what dreams are made of.
This if the rental home for you, if you deserve the very best. The thick
concrete construction between levels, provides total silence within the
walls
of the home. Yet, the crashing waves below, soothe your tired soul.,and
gently whisper you to sleep at night. The indoor paradise of Hale Pali
Kai,
mirrors the slice of heaven that is Kauai.
Have I said too much? Quite frankly, no. In summation, once you've stayed
here, you won't want to stay anywhere else on the island. Kathleen and

| What a wonderful experience from the moment we walked through the door into this AMAZING home! Our group of 7 has been on many wonderful vacations over the years... and have stayed in tremendous homes. I must say, this is one of the best! It is spacious, luxurious and offers the best amenities that I could imagine. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone interested in a luxurious stay in the southern part of Kauai. A bonus was the "pass" available to the Mariott. We were able to take full advantage of a beach hotel while staying in a totally separate location (within easy walking distance). If we ever make it back to the island, this is where we will stay! I have already passed along my recommendation to several friends! |

Beautiful, modern and the perfect way to become engulfed in the Hawaiian experience. Hale Pali Kai is much more than part of a duplex. It is a vacation retreat that sets a standard the Ritz hopes to achieve.
Our family from on and off the island loved its central location, and access to the Marriott facilities, beach and golf.
The two master suites are huge and beautifully appointed. The loft bedroom even exceeded our expectations since it was a full private suite on its own. Stay here and to love Kauai! |

| Hale Pali Kai is first rate. The house is everything advertised and more. The home is adjacent to the Marriott Resort and for a small fee you have full access to all of the amenities of the Marriott Resort. The pictures on the web page do not fully describe how dramatically beautiful the home is and how spectacular the views are. The owner makes renting the house very easy and he quickly responds to all questions. We highly recommend Hale Pali Kai, you will not regret staying at the house and will not want to leave. |

| I had the priviledge to stay at this beautiful house and for an 11 yr. old girl It felt like I was in a caslte! The view is magnificent over looking the mountains & Kalapaki Bay. I enjoyed watching sea turtles swimming down below off the lanai and watching the surfers, paddle boarders ride the waves and boats comming into the harbor. I even went out there and cought some waves myself. The beach is great and the pool at the Marriott is a lot of fun! My mom and I spent a lot of time on the lanai watching the colorful sunsets, reading and relaxing. Hale Pali Kai is beautiful, very roomy and very comfortable. I highly recommend this place. |

FAB-U-LOUS! My wife and I stayed at this beautiful Pali Kai home for a week and loved every minute of it. Views, views, and more views. The great room, master and guest room all overlook Nawiliwili bay, Kalapaki beach and the Marriott. The modern finishes are top notch and the bed was ultra comfortable. When we weren't sitting on the lanai in awe, we enjoyed stepping over to Kawai Lagoons Golf Course for a round (with a healthy green fee discount as a Pali Kai guest), working out and swimming at the Marriott (another super guest 'perk') and chilling on the beach (p.s. - it's kinda fun to be on the beach and hear people say, "I wonder who stays in those homes on the bluff, wow!"). Everything was in walking distance: Marriott dining, ABC grocery and the fun 'town' bars and restaurants just behind the Marriott, but be sure to get back to the lanai for sunset and a glass of wine.
The owner has a complete and friendly user guide and the house has all the amenities one could hope for on a vacation. I can't over emphasize how great it is to have access to the Marriott's facilities. There is also a complimentary Marriott shuttle 'to' and 'from' the airport which is great if you don't rent a car.
Going to Kauai? This is THE place. Mahalo! |

You know as soon as you walk through the front door it was going to be magnificent. Beleive me I was not let down. The appointments were exceptional, from the granite tops,applinaces, flatscreens down to the washer and dryer. The two master suites were more than spacious.. not to mention the master baths with the ceiling shower heads oversized tubs and the option, in both masters, of showering and gazing through the master out the sliding doors to the water. Watch the sun set at night and the sea turtles play in the bay below your patio.
The sound and visual systems are state of the art. You want for nothing. Bring food, drink a bathing suit---leave your flip flops at the door...
YOU ARE IN PARADISE! |

| Hale Pali Kai represents the true meaning of what Kaua’i really is. The beautiful views and amazing floor plan can be found nowhere else on the island. Hale Pali Kai is a place that Visitors and Kama’aina alike can come to appreciate the island in its entire splendor. This truly special place offers a sanctuary on the Cliffside overlooking a gorgeous sweeping bay that is only an elevator ride away. As an island native staying at the Hale Pali Kai helped me renew my sense of appreciation for this beautiful place I call home. This home is worth every penny as you enter through the front door you realize that you have been transcended from a regular island experience to one that will lead you to the create the memories that will surely last a lifetime. The experience this home lends you is the opportunity to say that you have truly vacationed in Hawai’i. |

| The entrance to this home gives no clue to what is beyond that door. This is a beautiful, impeccably designed and furnished home in one of Kauai's premier locations. Each of the three levels with lanai provides the same gorgeous view of the bay, the beach, and the nearby Marriott resort. Although our group that stayed here are experienced travelers, we all spent 20 minutes looking around and saying wow! For a small fee, you have access to the Marriott facilities nearby. The Kauai Lagoons golf course is within walking distance. This is a first class property and I highly recommend it! |

| The house is spectacular! The location, the appointments and view make this property at least a 5 1/2 star rating. If you are coming to Kauai for that special trip, this is the place to stay. You will not be disappointed. |
