Hale Mano (The House of Sharks) is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home built in 1963 from solid California redwood. Located on a cute residential street, it's the perfect getaway from the typical resorts. You will love this well curated, retro, beach house that's just a 6 minute walk to Poipu Beach, Brennecke's and more.
Updated vacation homes are hard to come by, and usually hard to get into, because they're so popular! Hale Mano (formerly Hale Poipu O'lina) is under new ownership and has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout. The large, shaded lanai is an extension of the living space and will be your favorite spot to hang out, post beach, and enjoy the trade winds. Cool house, close to beach, breezy lanai, cozy beds, what more could you ask for? Hmm.. an icy Mai-Tai, perhaps?
Make Hale Mano your home base for exploring magical Kauai!

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.

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!!

One of the most thoughtfully stocked and clean properties I’ve ever stayed in. We had an amazing time, in large part due to the beautiful home and location. Neighbors were very friendly and welcoming as well. 10/10 would book again!

Hale Mano was a perfect place for three girlfriends to reconnect. We came from Colorado, Texas and Japan to celebrate 50+ years of friendship and our 60th birthdays.
We enjoyed a short walk to Poipu Beach where we watched the resting turtles (honu) and monk seal, short drive to Pickleball courts, Lawai beach to watch the sunset and shopping.
The house was clean and well furnished with everything we could possibly need. And of course the mod vibe matched the theme for our get together.
We are looking forward to our return!

We stayed at this lovely home for 5 days. If was my husband and I and our adult son and his wife and our 2 year old granddaughter. We loved this location, it was central to everything. It was cute, well decorated, and with a great kitchen to cook. We loved the outside patio area. Thank you for letting us stay at your home!
