My wife and I stayed at Hale Hoku for our 25th wedding anniversary. We felt like we were in our home away from home. The setting was absolutely breathtaking. The Ocean roar we heard everynight and morning was a pleaseant sound to hear rather than all the hustle and bustle from our home in New York. The whole ground floor... more

We rented this home based on the photos and description on the internet site, www.homeaway.com. (http://www.homeaway.com/vacation rental/p151278#unitAmenities) The owner, Gale K., was diligent in getting her money up front, way in advance, which was fine as the home looked wonderful The pictures were great and the description enticing…all except, the pictures did not at all represent where we'd be staying.... more

Hale Hoku was by far the best overall accomodations we've had in 4 trips to Kauai, especially for our family of 4 with 2 children for 12 days! We made our reservation 10 months in advance, and the owner, Gale Kramer, was good communicating at various stages leading up to the trip about deposit, and payments (our deposit was also... more

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Hale-Hoku.. Mrs. Gale Kramer is the ultimate hostess. She is available if needed, otherwise, you may maintain your privacy. The views are to "die for." We loved the scenery of the "spouting horn" (visible from our lanai area), and the pool was throughly enjoyed by all.. Now, granted the furniture is not brand new,... more

My family stayed at Hale Hoku over Christmas vacation '05 We were thrilled with the facilities and location..the view is to die for. Yes, there are some BEAUTIFUL harmless spiders in the garden, occasional bugs and geckos...it's the tropics! The owner was very helpful, called us to make sure we arrived OK, helped us out with the (new) washer/dryer and... more

My wife and I spent the the first 5 days of our 10-day Kauai vacation at Hale Hoku, and couldn't have picked a better location to begin our trip. Close to all south shore activities yet completely private, we feel very fortunate to have found this beautiful home. When we first arrived and walked out to the lanai and backyard... more

This was the best deal ever! Our family of four (four year old included) ENJOYED the private pool (we were the only ones in it--owners didn't even use it while we were there), from which you could closely view the tourist attraction Spouting Horn. Didn't think we would use a pool but we used it every day. Relaxed in beach... more

Scenic location, wonderful weather in May, accomodations less than expected, old furnishings, landlords live upstairs with heavy feet and pissy attitude, not private as promoted. Since staying there May 2003 we have found several other more agreeable locations in Kauai. Suggest shopping around. more

We were very pleased and not at all disappointed in our stay here. In fact, we wanted to stay longer, but alas, it was booked! EVERYTHING was perfect. Gale had such aloha spirit! We had complete privacy and felt very much like it was our own home. And oh my gosh, what a home! We fell asleep to the ocean... more
