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

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.

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 favourite spot to hang out, post beach, and enjoy the trade winds. Cool house, close to beach, breezy lanai, cosy beds, what more could you ask for? Hmm.. an icy Mai-Tai, perhaps?

Comfortable and charming

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!

Great spot!

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.

Excellent Kauai rental

We love, love, loved staying here! It’s a beautiful home, very clean and private, and perfectly sized for our family of 5. Just a short walk to the beach through a quiet neighborhood, or a short drive into town for coffee or groceries or for a meal. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our first visit to Kauai!

Perfect house on the dry side of the island.

My family and I really enjoyed this house. It came with everything we needed and our 2 yr old enjoyed chasing chickens in the front yard. Very family friendly And a totally different experience from a condo or hotel in the best possible way.

Family-friendly stay on south shore

This rental was perfect for our family, including our toddler and infant. We loved the patio and bunk rooms, and the bathrooms are nicer than the listing pics suggest! Walkable to Poipu Beach Park, which is beautiful and great for little ones. We also rented a golf cart from Kauai Carts, which was fun and recommended for tooling around.

Such a great experience

We spent a wonderful four weeks here over October, and can’t say enough good things about the property. It’s beautifully designed, light and airy and very thoughtfully decorated. We had two babies with us, and had to do some light childproofing, but was perfect with little ones. We walked to the beach a few times most days. The sunset over Poipu beach is unbeatable. Highly recommend this spot!!

Perfectly close to poipu

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!!

Absolutely Perfect!

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

Great Vibe and Location

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!

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!

Halano!

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.

Wonderful time in super equipped home

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.

Beautiful fun island home close to the best South Shore sites!

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).

This is the place if you can't stand the mega Hotels

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 👌.
