Hale Mana Kai Poipu, Kauai

An absolute gem!!! Location, view, house layout… this rental has it all!!! We’ve rented LOTS of VRBOs and this place tops all. From the huge green space and ocean views for coffee and happy hour, to the beltway paths that lead to Shipwreck beach and Poipu beach the location is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms are quiet. Be warned that there are lots of small sets of stairs throughout the house - difficult for older folks and walking through common spaces at night. (Maybe some nightlights in the common area would be helpful.) Heather is a rockstar and responded quickly to all of my questions before and during our stay!! And we had lots of questions regarding hikes, snorkeling, tennis, etc!! Recommend highly:1.reserving shuttle at Haena state park and doing some of the hike along Napali coast and definitely spending time afterwards at Ke’e Beach!2. Snorkeling at Poipu 3. Kayaking the Wailua river and hiking to the Secret Falls (we rented and went on our own)4. Body surfing at Shipwreck (even for 65 year olds!)5. Go see the turtles come to Poipu beach at night.

It was a great property and the manager, Heather, was super helpful. The A/C worked great. I'd suggest a floor lamp for the living room since I woke up in the middle to the night and wanted to read away from the bedroom. But no floor lamps so the ceiling lights were needed, which often don't provide enough light.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful house! The location is amazing and the house is spacious with everything you need. Heather is very attentive and friendly. We enjoyed sitting on the patio, listening to the waves and watching the ocean. It is right next to the Grand Hyatt and walking distance to several local restaurants. We will definitely stay here again!

This property is beautiful and thanks to the amazing property manager Heather we were able to stay there. VRBO messed up our reservation and did not communicate with the property manager that we would be staying there. Upon arrival we found that someone was there … Luckily, it was the owner and they cleaned the house quickly so we could get in. Heather was more than accommodating and absolutely mortified that this happened. Would love to stay at this house again, but will not use Vrbo ever again.
