Wonderful Hawaiian style beach home, great for families!
Aug 11, 2019
Beautiful, comfortable home with a lovely view of the ocean....lovely sunrise from lanai's! Wonderful amenities throughout the home, we were impressed with the high end kitchen pots, pans, and utensils, etc....what a breeze to buy local fresh fish to bbg and dine in! Great location to explore and access beaches....we were lucky to see magnificent sea turtles at the beach on our sunrise walks!
Our Poipu Trip
Jul 03, 2019
We really enjoyed our vacation at the Mele Kai. The home was beautiful and the views were stunning. We'll definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay!
Jun 28, 2019
It was lovely
Great Stay!
May 26, 2019
The home was beautiful,spacious with a spectacular ocean view in a quiet neighborhood. We had every-thing we needed to be comfortable away from home. We were a pretty quiet group and didn't have an issue but privacy might be a concern for the guest staying upstairs in the main bedroom next to the living room & kitchen. The wall doesn't go to the ceiling & the doors are slated. As such, light & noise could potentially be a problem. Actually all of the doors in the house are slated and takes away from privacy. Aside from the above, I would totally rent the house again with the same group. I think twice with a different group because of the potential light & noise & privacy concern.
Highly recommend!
May 16, 2019
House was in a great location with outstanding views. Poipu Beach was walkable along with easy access to the Kaloa Heritage trail along the coastline. House has plenty of room (we had 5 adults). Highly recommend.
perfect vacation home
Apr 10, 2019
Our family had an amazing time at Mele Kai. The home is spacious, spotless, and beautifully furnished and decorated. There are views of the ocean from most rooms in the home, and you are able to see amazing sunrises. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed. There is a beautiful walking path just steps from the house where you can take a walk to Shipwreck's beach, or go in the other direction for a short walk to Brenneke's beach and Poipu beach park. We truly could not have been happier with our stay, this is a lovely and well cared for home.
Wonderful Accommodation. Will Do This Again.
Mar 24, 2019
All the comforts of home in a beautiful setting. Close to beaches, shopping, activities. Would visit again without hesitation.
McInnis Family Vacation
Feb 28, 2019
AWESOME! AWESOME! We had 5 adults & two boys under 5. The place was so nice & spacious & location was perfect. It was closer to the beach than we had thought. Their were beach chairs (some were broken), coolers, sand buckets & so much more that was there for our personal use. The only negative was the lack of privacy the thin walls & open doors created. I was upstairs with my husband & we had zero privacy. This was my 40th birthday trip & I loved it. Off the deck we saw whales EVERY day, a walk away we saw Turtles & large snails the boys thought were cool. Amazing stay! Thanks 🙂
Living in Paradise
Feb 12, 2019
From our arrival until our departure everything about our stay was wonderful. The house was perfect in every way. Location, view, amenities and size.
Beautiful views and great location
Feb 10, 2019
I've stayed at a number of rentals on Kauai and this is the first time I've struggled with how to write the review. This house could be perfect for some but not for others. The location and views of this house are fantastic and hard to match. We enjoyed walking down to the point each night to watch the sunset and the sunrise was there in the master bedroom windows every morning. Absolutely beautiful! The house itself was cozy and clean. One problem we had with the home was the design of the open ceiling and the louver doors. Though I understand the purpose of the design, it offered absolutely no privacy in the bathrooms or bedrooms. We had early risers in our group and when they turned a light on in the kitchen or living room, because of the open ceiling, it was as though they turned a light on in the master bedroom. This can be a huge issue unless everyone is on the same sleep schedule. My biggest issue I had with the home though was in the smaller details where they seemed to cheap out on. For about $250 they could purchase quality beach chairs and beach towels at COSTCO yet the ones they have were of poor quality and in very poor condition. Finally, I want to say that I was pleased that Garden Island Properties was able to give us a late checkout for a fee. I was disappointed however when I asked a week early if we could drop off our refrigerator and freezer items (we were moving from another home) one hour before check in and they said no.
Relaxing stay in Kauai
Jan 14, 2019
The house was perfect. A beautiful location with great views, minutes from everything in Poipu. It made for a very relaxing vacation.
Great house in a peaceful location
Dec 01, 2018
We woke every morning to a beautiful sunrise over the ocean and then went out onto the quiet lanai, off the bedroom, to drink our coffee. This was how we started every day of our week's stay at this lovely house.The house had plenty of room for 5 adults and a baby, although we had to improvise as there are no facilities specifically made for young ones.The house is in a quite housing area but looks out over the sea. While it is not practical to walk to the beach with all the necessary beach equipment for a family of 6, it is an easy 2-3 minute drive to Poipu beach where there is ample parking.We have no hesitation in recommending this house and will certainly rent it again when we return to Kauai.Finally, the management company was the best we have ever dealt with when renting vacation properties. They kept us informed at every step in the process and sent us lots of information before our vacation even began. Well done Garden Island Properties!
Great view
Nov 28, 2018
The location was amazing and the view gorgeous. Sunrise every morning. The only issues we had were the privacy factor. The master bedroom has an open ceiling to the living room as well as opened into the living room which is only closed off by paper screens. We had three related couples and you could hear everything since all doors were large slated openings. Great for a family with children or two couples.
The best time!!
Nov 11, 2018
This house is the perfect rental spot for a group! We had three couples stay here for a week, and we had such a wonderful time cooking big breakfasts and dinners in the clean and well-stocked kitchen and dancing around the big living room to the Sonos system. All three beds look out onto the ocean and you are walking distance to the Hyatt and Turtle hike as well as to the local public beach (although if you are bringing more than just a backpack to the beach, I would recommend driving.) It would be a great house to host a family as well. It is a short drive to the local fish market (which is right next to La Spetzia - our favorite resturant!) We will absolutely look to see if it is available again next time we are in Kauai!
Wonderful stay in a grat location
Oct 17, 2018
This house ist wonderful, the location is perfect.Great organisation before the stay.
Nice home at the perfect location
Oct 15, 2018
Very nice home, close to the beaches and not too far away from the Waimea Canyon. The house is huge and well equipped (incl. BBQ).The only thing we have to complain is that the toaster did not work properly and the coffee machine was leaking. Overall we had a very nice stay in this home at Poipu.
Brothers run #46
Sep 24, 2018
We were in town for the Kauai marathon, my brothers 46th state completed We stayed here for 5 nights. We loved it. The location for our trip was great. We drove up each side of the island to the beaches and up on Na Pali coast and ridge walk. Everything was fantastic. The house is set up very nice with a great view out over the water. Great lanai
Magnificent place
Aug 14, 2018
We were more than satisfied with the house. It was much bigger than expected and had everything needed. It was very clean and well-maintained. The location by the sea was very impressive. We enjoyed the view from the house every minute. We will most certainly recommend this house to friends.
Living it up in Kauai
Aug 04, 2018
Our experience with this rental and vacation could not of been better. First, the house was amazing. Second, the Poipu Beach area was very relaxing. Third, the rental experience was first class. I was blown away of how well they were organized and communicated.
Great place to stay
Jul 22, 2018
The house is in a lovely location, close to several good beaches and to many restaurants & shops. Wonderful place.
Great Rental
Apr 12, 2018
Spacious home with beautiful views, and great location
Mele Kai dream house.
Mar 27, 2018
Our vacation on Kauai was wonderful! A lot of the reason was the wonderful town of Poipu and the glorious Mele Kai dream house we stayed at, it was perfect.
Amazing Location!
Jan 22, 2018
This house had an awesome unobstructed view of the ocean and we were able to watch a beautiful sunrise and breeching whales every morning! The upper floor was very spacious and had a very well stocked kitchen. The outdoor grill worked very well and we used it almost every evening to cook many types of the excellent fresh fish (Ono, Opah, Monchong, Uku & Mahi Mahi). There were 7 of us and the home had excellent hot water, beds, amenities and quiet. The location was perfect.The Apple TV and Sonos sound system were a bonus. The rental app was excellent for communicating with the property management people who responded immediately to our one request.
Beautiful House and Fantastic Location
Jan 07, 2018
The house is in a fantastic location within walking distance to some beautiful beaches. The views were spectacular! The house its self was immaculate and stocked with every amenity we needed. Not only would we highly recommend it, we will be back.
Beautiful location, amazing master bedroom views
Dec 10, 2017
Stayed for a week in December and fell in love with the home. 170 degree views of ocean from the master bedroom was incredible. Location is quiet, private, and peaceful. Very close to poipu beach for snorkeling and a few shops in the area. If you are interested in the south part of Kauai, this place is fantastic. Will stay north shore on next visit to be closer to some better beaches and Napali, I just wish I could bring this place with me!
The Green House @ Poipu known as Mele Kai
Sep 24, 2017
A turn key spacious house that feels just like home with a Hawaiian twist. We had a great vacation in Kauai and Mele Kai Home completed that experience for us. We had 5 people and if we come back with 5 or more I would definitely book Mele Kai again. Mehalo!
Mele Kai will enchant you
Sep 12, 2017
We loved our week at Mele Kai. Kitchen is well equipped. Beds are comfortable.The property has been well maintained and very clean. Location is great for walks to Poipu beach. Poipu is a quieter part of the island. It doesn't have the lushness of Princeville nor the traffic. There are tons or restaurants within a 5 minute drive. This house does not have the beach equipment that some houses advertise. There are beach chairs and coolers and an umbrella. There was one child size set of dive mask and flipper.
Beautiful!!!
Aug 03, 2017
Spectacular views, well appointed kitchen and beautiful home. We will definitely recommend this home to our friends and family.
Fun times in the garden island
Jul 18, 2017
This house fit the bill. It was exactly as described, it was clean and well kept, and the location was great. It was close to beaches, hotels, grocery stores, and shopping/eating. It was great for a party 6 plus 2 chidlren. The views of the sunrise from the upstairs bed were overwhelmingly amazing. One of the kid friendly beaches is within walking distance, which is a beach that is frequented by turtles and monk seals. The management for the hotel was polite and courteous. They addressed any and all questions. I would recommend this house to anyone, which I already have to several family members. Great times and great fun.
Wonderful vacation home
Jun 05, 2017
We had a fabulous time in Kauai, The rental house was in the perfect location, very clean and I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a house rental in Kauai. We will always rent the same property when we go, highly recommended. Great views all around and within walking distance to the beaches and resorts.
Beautiful ocean views!
May 28, 2017
The views and location were awesome! Convenient to two lovely beaches!Beds were all comfortable and everything working nice. Property management very responsive to couple minor issues ! Only suggestion for improvement are the bedroom and bathroom doors are louvered and not soundproof at all. Depending on who is staying this could be an issue.
Family Vacation
Apr 14, 2017
Beautiful home!
Excellent Property
Apr 07, 2017
Fit all our needs. Nicely cared for and in great condition. We appreciated the small amenities--like laundry detergent--that were included. Beautiful view and an easy walk to the beach, although you likely will want to drive if you are carrying beach gear.
Nicely Done
Mar 07, 2017
The house was fabulous. The views were great. AC was a nice perk to take the edge off after being out all day, but the open floor plan allowed the breeze to blow through so much that being hot was not an issue.Great BBQ!.Loved the electronic touch with the apple tv and the SONOS. I am a music man and was pleased with the ambience provided with the Sonos audio system (def download the app and use it).
Great Family Time at Mele Kai
Jan 13, 2017
Our family had a wonderful experience on Kauai, in part due to Mele Kai. It was a very nice, spacious house, well appointed, good linens, beach chairs, walking distance to the beach, easy to get to, and nice neighbors. The sleeping possibilities were maybe a bit overstated...our family of five filled up the sleeping quarters (with one child sleeping on a non-foldout couch). No complaints...the bedrooms were greeted with a beautiful sunrise over the Pacific each morning, and you could see the sunset from the deck. The management company was very nice, and helpful. A wonderful oasis.
