About this cottage rental
**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.

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!

Quiet except for the roosters. Perfect size for 2 people. Central location for exploring the island. Best vacation ever.

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!

This place was perfection. Very clean and had all the amenities you could wish for. Nice quiet neighborhood.

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.
5.0
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.

We enjoyed this lovely home! Loved the outdoor shower! The lanai was perfect for morning coffee and reading. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay in Adrienne & Mike’s home could not have been better. The space is appointed with everything you could need, from Tupperware to beach supplies. The location is quiet and feels remote while being just a few minutes from highway 56. Adrienne is an attentive host, wanting to make sure our expectations for the property and our stay were clear. Everything was great! Would gladly stay again if we’re on another north shore visit.
5.0
Top notch property with all the amenities. Super clean and well furnished. Highly recommend.
5.0
Peaceful. Clean. Well located for north shore. Adrienne was very easy to communicate with. It needs a toaster. The toaster oven does not suffice as it does not heat very well. K
5.0
If you prefer a very quiet and peaceful setting this is perfect. Very clean. Everything you need to cook and great beach items. The covered lanai is amazing. This location is out of the bustle of condos and hotels. The owner is a great communicator and provided lots of great suggestions.
5.0
This was our second time staying at Adrienne's cottage. It is always so peaceful and homey and very clean and comfortable - we didn't want to leave. She supplies beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, coolers, etc and the kitchen was stocked with basics for cooking like salt/pepper, oil, etc which was really nice when we wanted to cook. Would recommend this to anyone. Note: there are a lot of roosters in the areas that like to crow during the night and early morning, but that's a lot of Kauai. Just fyi, didn't bother us at all.

We had a great time in Kauai while staying in this cottage. A very peaceful place, with only the sounds of nature to be heard. The cottage had everything we could need for an enjoyable stay. Well stocked kitchen, beach gear, and a fun outdoor shower. Adrienne was a lovely host and very organized and helpful. Would definitely rent this place again!

We had a wonderful experience working with Adrienne. I would give her 6 stars, if I could!
The cottage was cute and the perfect home base for all of our Kauai adventures. Very quiet neighborhood, except for the roosters. But there is nowhere on the island to escape those guys! Loved that none of the neighbors were super close. Made using the outdoor shower much more comfortable. Cottage is centrally located between the north and east sides of the island. If you are looking to get away from the tourist packed resort areas of the south side, this is the ticket!
5.0
We really appreciated the quiet, peaceful setting here. We like to prepare our own meals and we had access to everything we needed. The location is pretty central to North shore attractions. Adrienne was attentive to everything we needed and very communicative concerning the property and places to visit. We highly recommend a stay at this wonderful place.
5.0
This is a beautiful, breezy cottage in a great location (just outside of Kilauea). We used it as a base for remote work and island explorations for 2 weeks. The dark night sky gave us spectacular views of the Milky Way. We had a great time and will be back!

Exactly as described. Extremely clean, great location, all essentials including all necessary beach gear, property manager Adrienne was fantastic, great outdoor shower. No AC units though but the breeze was enough to make it pleasant all night. We would definitely stay here again.

AMAZING rental! Property is very well maintained, cleaned, well appointed, and owner is terrific!
We had a GREAT time at Hale Mahana! The owner takes wonderful care of her property and works hard to ensure your stay is comfortable. The place is very clean inside and outside! The home is very well stocked with quality items in the kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces, and patio. Owner has some great beach gear to borrow, also! It is so peaceful, quiet, and private! Owner is generous with her advice and thoughtfulness! She gave us details of places to shop, beaches, and places to visit on the North Shore. There is a great market and several restaurants close by. Sitting on the front patio enjoying the views and listening to the birds is so relaxing. The back of the property is just as beautiful overlooking an orchard, and there is an amazing outdoor shower! We can’t wait to come back to Kauai, and will stay here again when we do! Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Beautiful, peaceful home
We loved that Adrienne's home is away from the resorts, has a large front lawn, and is somewhat secluded. It's easy to get to Hanelei Beach, and other parts of the North Shore. We had a wonderful vacation, and would come again.

Great location and we could have stayed much longer. Charming cottage. Loved the outdoor shower, the constant gentle breeze, birdsong, greenery all around. Well equipped. Thank you!

It's always a joy to return to Hale Mahana. This was my 4th visit in the last 5 years. The cottage is lovely, clean and well-stocked with everything you need. The weather this trip was rainier than in prior years so it was especially nice to have a beautiful and cozy place to retreat when outdoor activities were impacted. I'm already looking forward to my next visit - can't imagine a better place to stay on Kauai!

The cottage is set on a beautiful property with the most relaxing lanai on which to sit and listen to the birds and the breeze. It is set up with everything you need to feel at home and enjoy the island lifestyle. The outdoor shower is dreamy and the entire property feels very private. Adrienne is a thoughtful and responsive host and takes pride in the cottage. The location is super convenient for everything on the north shore. We can’t wait to book again!

This cottage was a paradise found for us. Comfortable, quiet, cozy, secluded from the tourist chaos but still close to beaches, shopping, botanical gardens and restaurants. Perfect place for ones wanting to get away for some peace and quiet. We liked it so much were coming back for two weeks next year.
