Hale Mano - TVNC 5047 - A mod beach cottage on the sunny, south side.

House is as described in photos & super cute. Extremely clean. We loved the outdoor living space and spent most of our time while at the house there. The neighborhood felt safe. I had read other reviews mentioning the noise and thought they were just being picky but this is indeed a VERY NOISY neighborhood. Between the traffic at 5am, the roosters crowing starting at 1am every day, and you can hear every neighbor because everyone keep their windows open. The house itself was great, just make sure to bring earplugs if you have a hard time sleeping through neighborhood noises. I never could get the property manager's app to work (and I'm pretty savvy) but she was very responsive when I called with a question!

I recently stayed at this fantastic rental property near Poipu Beach, and it was an experience to remember! The atmosphere was incredibly fun and vibrant, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the lively energy that made the stay so enjoyable.The cleanliness of the rental was top-notch. Every room was spotless, and it was clear that the property was well-maintained. The fresh and inviting environment made it easy to settle in and feel at home right away.One of the best aspects of this rental was its proximity to all the great attractions in Poipu Beach. Whether it was a short walk to the beautiful beach, exploring the local shops, or dining at some of the best restaurants in the area, everything was conveniently close by. This made it easy to enjoy all that Poipu Beach has to offer without any hassle.Overall, this rental property offers a fun atmosphere, impeccable cleanliness, and an unbeatable location near Poipu Beach. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay!

We loved this house! It was comfortable, clean, and organized, and the modern beachy decor was perfect. We loved having dinner on the lanai and hanging out there in the morning as well. I would love to stay there again the next time we’re on Kauai!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were three couples in the home and had a lovely time. We were able to cook meals, hang out and plan our days without stepping on each other. And the home is truly eight minutes walk from Poipu Beach. The outside furniture is very inviting, increasing the lounging space. The bathrooms are very updated and modern with all amenities. The only negative is the middle room is a pass through room on the way to the bathroom, decreasing those guests privacy a bit. Overall, a wonderful vacation home and the hosts are super communicative and friendly.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was exactly as pictured in the listing. Very cute and very well equipped for relaxing meals on the lanai. Appliances worked well. Super well located near the beach and all things South Island. Unfortunately there were some problems that seriously impeded our ability to fully enjoy our experience in this home. In spite of open windows and fans, the center room (with the bunk beds) was very hot all night. In all the bedrooms, ceiling fans and open windows were helpful. What wasn’t great were the roosters crowing starting at about 4:30am until mid morning and the automatic sprinklers that went off around 6:00am. These were not distant sounds but rather they felt like they were inside the home - especially in the front main bedroom. We’ve travelled abroad a lot and experienced lots of animal sounds including braying donkeys, crickets, etc...but this was pretty extreme. There was also quite a bit of early morning car/truck noise from the neighborhood (understandable as people were going to work). Please consider informing guests so they know what they are getting into. Also, please take a look at the pillow situation on the beds (not super comfortable), and the insect situation. Kauai is a tropical island and few ants and flying insects were no problem but other critters - cockroaches - were making your place their home. Yes, We had a great time in Kauai and during our stay in other homes on the island, we were very satisfied. We are not “resort” lovers and prefer to stay in local communities. We liked much about your house but came home needing some quiet sleep!

We loved staying in this home! Super clean, convenient, and had the perfect layout for our family of five. Definitely had that island feel, and the outdoor spaces were great to have. We look forward to our future stay here!

Lovely area, all the amenities needed, we really enjoyed staying here

We had a fabulous stay at this cottage! It had everything we needed, very comfortable beds, and the renovations were very modern and adorable (I want whoever renovated this to come do my house in Boston next!). We really appreciated the quiet, digital ceiling fans, the lovely lanai, and all the beach supplies provided. Our family of five really didn't need anything else. Very convenient location in Koloa, and a 3-minute drive to Poipu Beach, which has something for everyone and ended up being our favorite beach of the trip. Highly recommend this rental

We really enjoyed our stay at this house! It looked exactly as pictured and had some fun authentic touches. Great location, short walk or 2 min drive from the beach and close to some great restaurants. Came equipped with beach equipment- chairs, towels, umbrellas and coolers. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Simply perfect place for a retro Hawaiian experience! Clean and comfortable. Everything we needed. 10 minute walk to beach perfect! Highly recommend!

The house is clean and has everything you could possibly need for indoor or outdoor use.

Hale Mano was the perfect house for our family of six. Very clean, comfortable beds, great areas for relaxation. Kitchen is well accommodated for meal prep! Beach supplies were much appreciated as were the clean and functional washer/dryer when needed. I never felt like anything was missing or lacking. The location, while not beachfront, was super close to Poipu and Brenneke beaches..easily walkable but a 2 min drive if we had too much stuff to carry. Quick note; don't let the previous note about ants deter you. Yes, there were a few ants in the kitchen but those virtually disappeared as we only stored food in the pantry and fridge as recommended (and there were a few ant traps in place as well).

Nice location. Easy to get to, and away from. Close to the beach with plenty to do near by. The renovation done on the property really turned it into a beautiful little surf shack and we didn't have any issues with the property aside from the kitchen ants getting into the pizza we left out (very normal on Kauai). Plenty of gear for the gearless. This is a local residential area, so treat it as such. Don't be a nuisance. Recycling has to be taken down to Poipu Beach recycle center FYI. Not far, easy to do. All in all, it was worth the price paid and we enjoyed our time 👌.

The house was in a regular neighborhood. This meant people leaving for work Early in the mornings. Cars on the side drive and street were quite loud. The unit was nice and convenient to the beach. The only two real issues were lots of ants in the kitchen no matter how clean you kept it and a shortage of hot water for showers.

The house was absolutely perfect for our needs. The place was super clean and well stocked all around. The toiletries were nice and smell great! Good kitchen and the patio was amazing for breakfast or a mid day nap. There is a good selection of beach gear in the outdoor closet including a small drink cooler we used every day. Communication with the host was easy and they were very responsive for the few questions we had while there. Would highly recommend this place if it fits your space needs!!
