A Kauai gem!!

If this place is available, grab it! Super chill!! Great location. This charming cottage is located in a peaceful neighborhood on a huge piece of land. The veranda looks out over an expansive lawn with Chinaberry tree where a wide variety of birds roost. Beds and furniture are comfy and tasteful; the kitchen has everything you need. There are nice markets in Princeville and Kilauea. If you’re up for a splurge (and like whiskey) eat at Avalon Gastropub - delicious, beautifully prepared dishes and cocktails!

Perfect north shore stay

This was our third time staying at Hale Mahana on the north shore of Kauaii and we enjoyed it this time just as much as the previous visits. We especially appreciated how organized the owner is especially in the rental agreement and in giving directions and suggestions. The house is well-equipped with everything you might need--a well-furnished kitchen, laundry facilities, comfortable furniture, and even an outdoor shower which we used nearly every day. Also, the cottage comes with necessary beach equipment--beach chair, towels, mats etc. Suggestions for restaurants and places to visit were very helpful. My husband and I are in our 70's and enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and relaxed feel to the cottage. Definitely we would recommend Hale Mahana for a couple looking to have a relaxing Hawaiian experience.

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!
