We were awestruck by the night sky: there were more stars visible than I ever imagined and so bright! Loved the house also. It was private with beach view and access. It was large and had great character, we would have to stay another week to really know the house as we kept discovering new things until we left. We have wonderful memories of hanging out on the late covered porch enjoying the breeze and the birds of ocean and mountains. The heat with no AC was a change for us, but there were many fans and the house is designed to use the ocean breeze for cooling.

We stayed for a week in April for a calm, quiet getaway at the estate. We were incredibly impressed by the historical significance, impeccable grounds, and quirky, spacious building. The true star of the property was the walking-distance proximity to the virtually private beach.
There are amazing gardens to explore on the property, in addition to dozens of chickens.
The one downside we experienced on several days was a significant bug issue. Certainly, the tropics should be expected to have mosquitoes, etc, but the volume of gnats was significant, day and night, likely due to the fruit trees. The property would benefit from a bug-zapper or having fly paper available for guests.

Without a doubt, the best vacation house we have ever rented. So spacious for 6 adults and 2 kids, room for "I" time and together time, and best of all, hours watching the surfers and sunset from the front porch. The house is completely equipped with everything needed in the kitchen and everything was comfortable and clean. The beach is private but there are always several local expert surfers to watch.

We stayed at Pakala Plantation for a week with our 4 teenage/young adult "children". This was the perfect house for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed many hours (and naps) on the porch. It's a bizarre yet wonderful house that clearly holds so many memories for generations past. I felt like I was staying in my grandmother's house...old can opener mounted to the kitchen wall and metal cabinets. Straight from a different era! The house was clean and comfortable. Could used some bathroom updates - but I expect that is difficult to accomplish on an island. There is no AC, and it did get to be a little hot - especially in the afternoons. Many fans are available and we had no trouble sleeping at night due to heat ("jungle fowl" are a different story). We loved watching the surfers and enjoyed the peacefulness and tranquility. Hope to come back again - certainly a very special home!

it is easy to live in Paradise on the most beautiful property in Kauai. we all had a beautiful time from age 5 to 65. The beach is close enough to be a surfers paradise the longest left in all of Hawaii, and far enough that your little ones will not venture of on their own. shopping is easy and close. the Pakala Plantation is in the heart of Kauai with locals and natives alike. Not far from any convenience either. we all had a wonderful time. The house is very well equipped, clean, and easy to maintain.

This magnificent, island-style estate truly exceeds all expectations. Located on secluded Pakala's Beach on Kauai's west side, this totally serene property borders an orchard and is heavily sprinkled with mature shade trees and a variety of palms. A long driveway leads guests through a breathtaking panorama to a welcoming portico. The large, southern-style veranda looks out across an expansive landscape and a low, lava rock wall to the Pacific Ocean. This is the perfect vantage point to enjoy spectacular island sunsets.
Step through French doors to a living room lavishly decorated with antique furniture. The separate dining room is a luxurious amenity perfect for big families. A large, eat-in kitchen opens onto a deck overlooking the beautifully manicured gardens.
All bedrooms are extremely spacious and comfortably furnished. Some are actually suites and several open onto the veranda and the extraordinary vista beyond.
Befitting royalty, this impressive home invites families and friends to spend time together yet has acres of space for quiet interludes. A short drive in either direction leads to area restaurants offering a tempting variety of cuisine.
Activities nearby include seasonal swimming, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, shopping, boat tours and helicopter tours. World class surfing at Infinity's.

In September the mornings were cool, the afternoons and evenings were warm. This is your typical old beautiful plantation house with no air conditioning and we did use 100% of the fans provided in the evening to try to cool down to sleep.
The kitchen is large with all you need to make family meals. We enjoyed a family meal together every evening on the beautiful dining room. Again, the room. The dining table sat all of us comfortably.
Pakala beach is just across the lawn with a popular surf break. We were able to watch surfers every day and we enjoyed the ocean as well. The house did have plenty of beach items available including chairs and umbrellas but no surf boards.
Many memories have been made in this vacation rental. I hope to come back again with my ohana.
