Description

There are homes near the ocean, and then there are homes shaped by it. Hale Mahana Kai sits along the shoreline of Poipu’s Lawai Road, where the waves roll in close enough to feel their rhythm throughout the home. Designed by esteemed Kauai architect Ginny Latham, this property has long been a gathering place—a space where families return year after year to reconnect, celebrate, and soak in Kauai’s unmistakable beauty. Set above Kukui‘ula Bay, the home faces a constantly changing canvas: turtles...There are homes near the ocean, and then there are homes shaped by it. Hale Mahana Kai sits along the shoreline of Poipu’s Lawai Road, where the waves roll in close enough to feel their rhythm throughout the home. Designed by esteemed Kauai architect Ginny Latham, this property has long been a gathering place—a space where families return year after year to reconnect, celebrate, and soak in Kauai’s unmistakable beauty. Set above Kukui‘ula Bay, the home faces a constantly changing canvas: turtles drifting by, boats crossing the horizon, and sunsets that light up the lanai each evening. The owners and guests alike loved its casual, beach-house personality—unpretentious, comfortable, and full of natural light. It’s a place where sandy feet are welcome and mornings begin with the sound of the surf. Inside, the great-room layout is designed for togetherness. Meals are shared with an ocean backdrop, conversations stretch long into the evening, and every bedroom suite offers its own private vantage point of the coastline. The third suite, with its separate exterior entrance, became a favorite for extended family and friends to come and go easily. Lawai Road is one of Poipu’s most iconic stretches—steps from the National Tropical Botanical Garden, a short stroll to Spouting Horn, and minutes from Poipu Beach and the dining and shopping of Kukui‘ula. Life here feels connected not only to the ocean but to everything that makes the South Shore so special. Hale Mahana Kai remains a rare opportunity: a licensed vacation rental oceanfront home with a warm, welcoming character in a location that continues to be one of Kauai’s most sought-after coastal neighborhoods. For those who appreciate authenticity, views that never get old, and the ease of island living, this home is ready to write its next chapter.
