We loved our stay at Hale Nalu! The location is amazing, just steps from ocean access. When the tides are low, you can simply walk along the water to Kokololio Beach Park, which has amazingly soft sands. The outdoor shower, towel hooks and code lock on the front door made it easy to come in and out from the beach.
The unit is located on a residential street, so you'll hear dogs barking, kids playing, etc. but none of the loud traffic or tourist noise that you'd hear in town. The unit also shares a wall with the main part of the house, so we could occasionally hear our host family.
The entire home was clean, and the space was very large and comfortable for the two of us. The wifi was fast and reliable, which was a must as we were working remotely and holding video calls. Plus, there was AC in every part of the home, which kept us nice and cool during the summer nights.
The home is well-sealed and the house rules ensured that we didn't see any bugs except a moth or two at night. The master bed is very firm and ideal for back/stomach sleepers more than side sleepers. The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked and had everything we needed to make meals of all types.
Kimberly goes above and beyond to ensure her guests are happy! She was quick to communicate or answer questions, but also gave us plenty of privacy. During our stay (nearly two months), Kimberly also made several upgrades and improvements to the house, and clearly cares deeply about providing a 5-star experience to her guests.
