We were looking for an authentic Hawaii getaway and we found it at Ellie's Koloa House! The outside living room is soooooo relaxing. It is close to Poipu beach and the best snorkeling! Ellie's warmth and charm is an added bonus! We treasured all of her knowledge of the island's best attractions and we loved the personal attention. If you want to shy away from large, impersonal hotels and get a great bargain, this is your vacation house. Janice

This is our third time to Ellie’s Koloa House. There is no need to go anywhere else. The price is right and the hospitality amazing. We scuba, snorkel, swim and then come home and relax at the most comfortable and affordable slice of paradise. Thanks Ellie,

Ellie thanks for the great house. The kids felt right a home – says a lot. We followed your advice and spent tons of time at the beach. Mahalo for an excellent stay.

Ellie, we truly enjoyed our honeymoon at this wonderful house. Why does anyone stay at the Hyatt?!?? Back to the mid-west until our next vacation.

Thanks Ellie, after finding the complimentary write up in the L.A. Times and seeing your website, we thought your place might be exactly what we were looking for. Wow… not a single disappointment. You could write a book about the aloha spirit. Your place is relaxing and such a nice change from the bigger resorts we’ve come from. Please visit us in Canada. Mahalo Ellie!

Everything we could possibly need or want was here. Thanks Ellie for all your hospitality! We will definitely be back and (hopefully) we can fill the second bedroom with some little ones soon.

What a terrific accommodation in Kauai. We had a lovely family stay with our two adult sons; a very special time together. Kauai is like being in the heart of the great mother-dynamic, healing, nurturing and mysterious. We will remember this special place. Thanks Ellie for your graciousness, humor and generosity. Aloha and blessings.

Ellie we arrive from the depths of media, commercials, and political chaos, which defines California, to be greeted by your warm smile and Kauaian charm. What a relief and respite from all the left behind hustle and bustle of home. Your great directions and amps you drew us lead to so many unknown sandy beaches, waves, trails and sunsets that we would not have otherwise encountered. You are truly a blessing on this island paradise. We look forward to our next visit.

Ellie, we wish you all the best! Turning sixty ain’t so bad when you’re chilling out at Ellie’s Koloa House. We leave reenergized as we return to our silly, silly very important lives haha.

Ellie, we swam with the turtles, walked along the ocean at the breaching whales place, watched the monk seals sunbathe, snorkeled with the stunning fish, basked in your beautiful tropical gardens and experienced/loved your generous hospitality. We’ll miss you!

Dear Ellie mahalo for a wonderful stay. We felt right at home for one main reason being your warmth and kindness to our whole family. Thanks for the sweet reminders of enjoying and celebrating our children while they are young. What a great place to return to our own childhoods as we all caught toads together and shared memories at your charming tropical house near Poipu Beach.

Dear Ellie, words wont be able to describe this trip. Our spirits have begun a new journey. You are the hawaiiana that people talk about when they leave the island. Staying longer is not an option but coming back is a dream come true. Thank you for all your personal touches and concern for our well being. See you again soon.

What a wonderful time we had on Kauai. Staying here at Ellie’s Koloa House was perfect. We walked up to quaint Koloa town several times for fresh fish, Lappert’s coffee/ice cream, meals out and strolled in and out of art galleries. Great location so close to Poipu Beach yet just far enough away form the hustle and bustle of resort central. We will recommend this rental to our friends at home and hope to return next fall.
