We love Hale Oli. The photos don't do it justice. At this house, you're a three minute walk to a quiet beach. It's somewhat rocky, but great for splashing and gazing. Right off the front lanai you have a beautiful view of the mountains, complete with horses grazing out on the expansive lawn. (They are tame and love mangoes.) It's all very picturesque. The layout of the house is open and breezy, tastefully decorated, and convenient. The washer and drier were a bonus. And I love the quiet. It's not the most convenient location for getting out and about on a daily basis as we wanted to, and you have to be prepared during the rainy season with a 4x4 vehicle and some extra pineapple (we were rained in on our first day when the driveway flooded). But this house and the beauty of Kauai far outweigh any difficulty we had. And if you asked my husband, he wasn't bothered by any of it. Thumbs way up for Hale Oli.
