Description

Halekai III has 11 bedrooms and 11 full baths and a gorgeous 100' very private beach. For 2017, Halekai III has a new heated private pool and expanded outdoor living area.

This beautiful designer home will accommodate up to 36 people. Two full kitchens, including one custom designed for catering, make it ideal for entertaining a crowd. Perfect setting for beach weddings. In fact, we think it is the nicest house in the region for a Destination Beach Wedding.

With a Media Room and 3 living rooms + 2 bonus rooms, each floor has common space area so you can spread out and enjoy the luxury! The private wrap-around balconies surround the main and second floors of the house. Each bedroom enjoys spectacular views of the Gulf or Lagoon, has its own deck. Private hot tub is perfect touch on one of the many decks.

Teens can have their own private refuge on 3rd floor with bunk room, a bath and a family room with a large screen TV and kitchenette. This breathtaking home borders the National Wildlife Refuge, giving you a natural feel with all the amenities of home. Bring the entire family and then some - everyone sleeps under one roof with private dedicated baths, 2 master suites and plenty of places for the kids.

Great for Corporate Off-Sites, Family Reunions, and Beach Weddings (with additional wedding fee and refundable event deposit).

Friends and I have been staying at Halekai III every New Years since the day it was built. It is a perfect home for several couples in that all King size bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms which we all prefer. The house is well kept and has many living spaces the group utilizes for card playing for the girls and football games for the guys on the many large screen tv's. All in all, it is a perfect rental for our group.

Our family stayed the full week until the wedding on Friday, Sept 15 2017. Overall we were very satisfied with the house and would absolutely stay here again. There is a ton of seating available in the house and all kitchen finishes, furniture, and bedding were of good quality. The new addition under the house is fantastic with the pool and tiki bar which was especially nice during the reception to have the extra space and open bar! We held the wedding ceremony on the beach and the reception for ~60 people under the house. There is plenty of space under the house for 60 people and probably more! We used Nicole Miller from Southern Salt Weddings to plan our wedding and we were extremely pleased with her services. She has also planned multiple weddings under the house and is very familiar with the space and vendors which was helpful. The major benefit for this home for weddings is the fact the house is about 10 min away from all the major condos, which makes the beach private for a personal ceremony like a wedding. A few minor issues that we did have with the house was one of the showers would not get hot water, an ice maker broke, one of the fencing post fell (my dad repaired), and the hot tub jets would not work.

Wonderful. Some nails exposed in boards around hot tub and walkway to beach, pool needs to be heated. Oven in catering kitchen not working properly. Dryers took forever to work!

Don't wait for a review, we send you a message early in your stay asking if there are any issues and encouraging you to let us know what needs help. Oven was repaired as soon as it was reported! Pool is heated to normal resort temp of 83-85 degrees.

We rented Halekai III to host our beach wedding. The beach was amazing. This was our first time visiting Gulf Sores, and we have decided that this will be our new vacation spot. The house was beautiful. It was more than big enough to accommodate our family and friends. The only downfall we noticed was the cleaning crew did not do the best job possible. Some areas were very dirty. Although we were somewhat dissapointed with this, we did not let it bother us! We all had an outstanding time and would definitely recommend this home to others. We would love to come back in the future!
Manager response on 2017-12-07 - Response from Gulf Shores Vacation Rentals, Inc
Halekai III got a new cleaning team starting January 2017! Please call us if we have missed something. We are happy to come fix it.

The house fit a Christmas celebration for a family of 25 perfectly. When an a/c problem happened on Christmas day, a service man was there in a couple of hours. The driveway needs 3 inches of gravel near the slab to alleviate the bump. We plan to go again.

Everything was fantastic, except for one thing! Hardly any of the locks to the bedrooms or bathrooms worked! Not a huge deal but with a house of 30 people it is a nuisance. But overall would love to stay here again. Perfect for wedding!

This was our third year to stay in Halekai III and it was another wonderful experience. A beautifully appointed home with plenty of room for everyone. The layout is great, giving privacy to all. We are already booked for next summer and are counting down the days.

Halekai III = Absolute Awesomeness!

We absolutely adored this home! It literally made our wedding beautiful! We had plenty of guests who later inquired about the contact information of the rental company because they were interested in renting the beach house for themselves at a later date. We all loved how each bedroom opened up to a beautiful view. It was gorgeous! Three words...rent this one!

This may express our feelings of Halekai III when my first grandson said "Mamoo, this was the Best family vacation yet!" For the last 5 years our family vacation has been at Halekai III and we plan to continue this tradition!
Everything is a very satisfactory and MORE. This year we had a message of the best time to
leave Gulf Shore due to heavy traffic, Just one of many extras that we receive and the
HOUSE itself is most comfortable; well appointed; comfortable living spaces; TV'S DVD'S,ETC.; clean,always and updated even from last year. AND there is "Bob" to call who is quick to respond if anything does go wrong.
As you can see WE CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT "OUR" VACATION HOME!"
WE WOULD RECOMMEND IT ANYTIME; BUT THE WEEK WE HAVE FOR OUR FAMILY !

This is our eighth year to rent this home for our familly week long get together, Keller Beach Week! It is perfect for a large crowd like our family. We had about 42 that stayed at least one night in the house. This is the only house of this size with all of the different gathering areas which gives everyone their privacy and personal space. The Caldwells will do anything to help a family make lasting memories there. The only thing that would make this house better, would be a pool. I believe the beach mouse stopped that project. We actually spotted the mouse this year! Wish he'd find another place to set up house!!

Another great week at Halekai III

This was our second year at Halekai III and was again a wonderful experience. The home is just beautiful. There are no bad bedrooms all are great. So everyone has a good experience. The kitchen is the best for cooking, making meals for everyone, plus the catering kitchen adds to making things run smoothly. Susan and Geoff were great to work with,if we had a problem they were right on it. Final note the house is even more beautiful than the pictures. We as a family love it.

Wonderful, comfortable, and spacious house and beach location in West Beach!

Loved having our wedding here; our family and friends loved the gorgeous house and beach. Our ceremony was beautiful; we were very glad we didn't have anything other than rented benches for our family and guests to sit on (no decor, no flowers, no white chairs, etc.)--there was nothing to clutter the natural beauty of such an incredible place and our photos were stunning because of it. Perfect light at around 630p for photos in early May.

Working with the property management company was a dream; they were very communicative and helpful with our million questions leading up to the rental period starting.

I can see this being an ideal retreat location or gathering place for a large family for a week or so, and someday we would like to return with friends and family to enjoy it again. Lots of twin beds and two full beds in the top-floor loft for kids. Rented beach cruiser bikes from Beach Bike Rentals and all wedding rentals from Soho Events--extremely pleased with both.

Only a few minor issues I'd like to mention for couples considering the house for a small wedding and reception: The house is extremely close to the homes next door, and there is very little parking available if you use the level beneath as a dinner/reception area. You cannot park on the main road legally, but there is a municipal lot closer to town from which you can shuttle guests if necessary. Also, we had some music playing at our reception and the police came promptly at 10am to shut it down: There is a noise curfew we weren't aware of that makes perfect sense, but something for other couples to consider if you plan to enjoy dancing and music later than 10pm. We just moved our reception inside and made sure all the windows and doors were closed. Both master suites have a window that lacks a covering, so bring an eye mask if you're a light sleeper and want to sleep in a little in the morning!

This is the 4th or 5th year we have stayed at Halekai 111. As usual we settled in nicely with everyone returning to there own bedroom. The only thing we noticed is the light furniture in the den is beginning to show its age. A little worn and darker on the arm rest. Not dirty just worn from so much use. Also the lack of throw pillows. If you hadn't been there before you probably would not have noticed. Did notice some new mattresses. A big plus was a good working Hot Tub. A plus when the water in the Gulf is still cold. All in All a wonderful time.

This was our fourth year staying at Halekai III in Gulf Shores and we are already counting the days to next years stay. The property is well maintained and the layout is exceptional. The oven, cooktop and dryers could use some maintenance, but overall it is equipped with everything you need to cook for a large group.

We have a theme night every year and this year was the sixties. We decided to take our party of 23 to dinner in our sixties attire. The restaurant was very friendly and really got into our theme making it even more fun. Gulf Shores we love you!

Stayed at the fabulous Halekai III in Gulf Shores, Al. The home surpassed our expectations. It was spacious for our family to have their own space plus come together for breakfast and dinner.. It was clean and was stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes and utensils that we needed. The only thing we went and bought was a wire brush for the grill. We loved it so much we are going back in 2015.

The Halekai is a beautiful location for a large family gathering!The home is absolutely fabulous!We would definitely rent it again. With 30 family members it was so wonderful to be able to actually find solitude if you wanted to just relax. The set up for the kitchen and food preparation area was perfect!The numerous ice makers were so helpful! I must say though...I did not like having to wash all those towels ...especially since the dryer did not work very well.

Held my daughter's wedding on the beach outside the home and reception inside. Approximately 120-140 guests were in attendance and everything went great. House was perfect in every way, so beautiful for the wedding. Susan was a delight to work with as we had many questions.The 24 people who stayed in the home were very comfortable and enjoyed all the amenities it had to offer. We felt so fortunate to stay in Halekai III and would highly recommend to anyone.

We had a ladies church group come for a beach retreat and had a wonderful experience in the house. It is large enough for 30 women, it was clean and was well stocked with towels, dishes, etc... Our only issue was one of the ovens was broken and could not be fixed until after we left. It was difficult to feed 30 women with one small oven but we worked around it. Stuff like that happens so we understand. Thanks for a wonderful weekend away!
