KAUAI'S Plantation-style Paradise for 2! Peaceful North Shore Cottage 5-STAR!

**THIS RENTAL IS EXCLUSIVE TO VRBO - DO NOT RENT OFF CRAIG'S LIST OR ANY OTHER WEB SITE**

If you are looking for the ultimate Kauai experience, then look no further! Located on the North Shore, the most desirable area of Kauai, known for its tropical lushness, sandy beaches, snorkeling, surf and beautiful sunsets.

This 2 bedroom - 1 bath plantation-style cottage sits on one and a half acres on a quiet residential area outside Kilauea town. From our neighborhood, enjoy beautiful mountain (or 'pali') views. Stunning Hanalei Bay and Princeville are a short drive (10-15 minutes) down the highway. The secluded beach, Rock Quarry, is a quick drive down our residential road.

This bright and airy cottage has 2 bedrooms with queen sized beds for parties up to 2 persons only (i.e., a couple or 2 adult traveling companions). There is an extra outdoor shower used mostly by our guests to fully embrace their tropical experience. The fully equipped kitchen is well outfitted for those who wish to prepare meals. The cottage includes linens, Wi-Fi, TV, washer and dryer and other amenities.

This is the perfect place to get away and enjoy the beauty of Hawaii. Come experience Kauai in true Hawaiian style. Please note that the infamous "Kauai chickens" roam freely all over the island and are out of the owner's control if they pass through this lovely Kauai country setting. This is an official vacation rental licensed by the County of Kauai: TVR-4242. **THIS RENTAL IS EXCLUSIVE TO VRBO - DO NOT RENT OFF CRAIG'S LIST OR ANY OTHER WEB SITE**

Paradise!
We kept saying the whole time: this is by far the best property we've ever rented. The area is beautiful, the grounds are stunning, it's wonderfully decorated and the private outdoor shower is a real luxury. The best part of all is the host Adrienne. She's super helpful, a pleasure to talk to, and provided great tips anout Kauai. Thank you!

As Advertised + lots of rules
The owner has really thought about almost everything. Everything is labeled; there are notes, letters and binders. The owner asks for some cleaning help, but in the end all the notes and stickers make it easier to rmeber things for me. There is also a very helpful neighbor who became crucial when the bathroom door became locked the last night with no one inside. The owner said it was not the first time it had happened and it took over an hour-on our last night there- for the neighbor to crawl through a high, small window to open it. I would rather have spent the last night there spending time with my family. In all, however, a great place.

A hidden gem in the scenic backcountry
Adrienne’s place is a hidden gem very well located on the North shore. We felt right at home and enjoy the amount of space in and around the cottage, and the cozy cottage. Adrienne was very responsive. We are thankful we could use the beach chairs, towels and cooler. We hope to come back again!

Quiet and peaceful
My wife and I expected to find a nice comfortable place for our 10 day stay on the North Shore. What we found was actually much more. The house itself is very comfortable and only 10 minutes or so to groceries, fun and too many beaches to count or remember. We really enjoyed the outdoor shower and in fact never used the indoor one even once! If you enjoy living the quiet life but still being close to all of Kauai’s points of interest… you certainly won’t be disappointed! I’d rate this 6 or 7 stars but 5 is as high as it goes.

Quiet Oasis for Healing
Adrienne was pleasant and very helpful to work with. Our search for a quiet, serene “escape” more than met our expectations for our ten night stay. We had all the comforts of home for preparing meals yet didn’t have to venture far for activities and dining out if desired. The lanai was our favorite perk along with the tropical breeze throughout the cottage for the duration of our stay. Mahalo Adrienne!

Fantastic place to stay!
I can't say enough good things about this property. As soon as we stepped in the front door it was even better than expected. The neighbourhood was fantastic and we had some great conversations with the neighbours during our morning and evening walks/runs. We would start and end every day sitting on the lanai watching the birds and enjoying the view. Adrienne was such an attentive host. I really appreciated her reaching out before our arrival and providing us with great information about the area and things to do. And the place had everything we needed which made for a very enjoyable and relaxing vacation. We hope to return again, but next time we'll stay for longer because of how great our experience was.

Wonderful Oasis in Kauai
Hale Mahana was truly an oasis or maybe an ark. Our 10 days in Kauai were fabulous but more than a little wet so we truly enjoyed everything about the house. Adrienne is a dream to work with and she really has thought of everything. The house is well represented by the photos. It was perfect for us (2 women friends traveling together) as both bedrooms were roomy with great air circulation, ceiling fans and incredibly comfortable beds (a big deal because I am never comfortable on other mattresses). One BR stands alone while the second has pocket doors that open to the living room. The bathroom is a good size with great water pressure. The second outdoor shower was helpful. (We only wished there was a better path between the outdoor shower and the front door). The kitchen and living room are open plan and very well equipped with sliding glass doors out to the lanai that is perfect for a glass of wine and incredible star gazing on clear nights. The house has neighbors but they are not uncomfortably close.The roosters are real folks as are egrets and tons of other lovely birds who visit the house. If the windows are open, the house and the entire island, comes with a wildlife alarm clock. Adrienne has provided everything for the beach including chairs and beach towels. We did visit the closest beach (1 mile down the road) several times and it is a wonderful stretch of sand. We highly recommend this house for couples or friends traveling together as a base for your adventures

Fantastic vacation
We liked the house when we first looked and we weren't disappointed! We felt very comfortable and free. Everything was there in the house, everything was well organized and clean. Outside there was a beach box, a shower and the comfortable veranda. The property is large and we enjoyed going to the trees at the back of the garden. The booking process and the handover of the house were perfect. Adrienne put everything together and delivered it on time. She was always available to answer any questions. We can highly recommend renting the house. PS: We stood in the garden the first evening/night and saw more stars than ever before. That was terrific!

Peaceful retreat!
If you want hustle and bustle, and every amenity on your doorstep, then don't stay here (or even on the North Shore). BUT... if you want relaxation, tranquility, and breathtaking surroundings then Hale Mahana is definitely for you. This is just the most delightful little cottage located in an outstanding residential area, and my husband and I could not have been more content. In fact we were so chilled out, I swear time went backwards! DO visit Nenea Coffee truck for the best coffee EVER (couple of miles up the road towards Princeville), and sample the donuts at Holey Grail, a food truck in Hanalei. We also did a kayak/hike trip with Kayak Wailua, which was fabulous, and be sure to treat yourself to a copy of The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook (Andrew Doughty) before you go. Thank you Adrienne for letting us experience your wonderful property. Aloha!

Peace and relaxation
I came to get some rest and relaxation and got what I was looking for. The house is extremely comfortable, clean and well maintained. It’s in a quiet residential area with just the sound of the birds. The beach I like is just 15 minutes away, about the same as if I stayed in Princeville. The grocery, shops and some restaurants are less than 10 minutes away. Really lovely place with lots of privacy. I’ve been to Kauai many times and stayed in a variety of places and this ranks among the two best (but the other spot, which was on the beach, is no longer rented out). So this is my new favorite. I hope to visit again.

Perfect Kauai cottage getaway
The property is absolutely lovely: from its location in a quiet, well-tended neighborhood, to the well-stocked kitchen and beach equipment, to the kind and attentive host. We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this cottage. It is quintessential Kauai, including the fresh outdoor shower! Adrienne is the most communicative and welcoming host I’ve ever experienced. The cottage is conveniently located close to Kilauea and only minutes away from Princeville and Hanalei. It is, however, away from the crowds (not that there were many on the island). The house had everything we needed for a comfortable and peaceful stay.
