The Mango Shack - offers a "Swell Break" for Surfers & Families Love It Too!
Minutes from the gorgeous Moloaa Bay beach. The Mango Shack boasts its North Shore location, location, location! The Kilauea Lighthouse is just ten minutes north, with Princeville, the land called Hanalei and the trailhead of the Napali Coast further up the road. Drive south from the Mango Shack 15 minutes to the bustling island town of Kapaa where you will find grocery stores, restaurants, the farmer's market (Weds), bicycle, surfboard, boogie board, kayak & snorkle gear rentals, specialty shops and boutiques. Wherever the surf or island attraction takes you, access is convenient from your private, rural setting.
The Mango Shack is built to let in the tradewinds. It sits under a mamma mango tree which drops in July (warning for light sleepers). The Shack sports all the charm an Island Surf Shack is supposed to - screened for mosquitoes (without glass), and screened for privacy with heliconia and banana trees. The small bathroom leads to the outdoor heated shower - amazingly simple, yet fully equipped for your comfort - it is a Blue Lagoon-type dwelling - romantic and rustic.
The main room has a queen-size bed (studio-style) and a convenient kitchenette fully equipped with a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker & coffee bean grinder, blender, 2-burner hotplate, dishes, utensils, etc. You can eat inside or outside on the spacious deck. The bedroom just off the main room offers two full-size beds. The decor is bright and cheery in an island motif. Play with our mostly outdoor kitty Cato.
The Mango Shack is nestled in Moloaa Valley which means there is no need to go anywhere. Wake up to a chorus of jungle birds, and seasonally pick a papaya, oranges, grapefruit and avocados for breakfast! Go for a morning jog on the country road and see almost no one. Take a short hike up to the Moloaa Sunrise Fruit stand for gourmet Kauai coffees, fresh tropical smoothies, locally grown fruit and healthy sandwiches to enjoy on the lanai.
Stroll 3/4 mile down the paved road through the tropical jungle to the ocean and the scenic splendor found at Moloaa Bay, deemed "Paradise Found" by the Ultimate Kauai Guide Book where the beach is all yours. Succumb to the clear inviting waters, snorkel and float on your back until your mainland troubles drift away. Moloaa Beach faces east - welcome the sunrise with a loved one! (By car, you can do all this within 3 minutes from the Mango Shack.)
You will get-away from it all here. There is Verizon wireless reception at the Shack (AT&T wireless reception isn't as strong but works in spots.) The Shack has wireless internet access, a TV with DVD player and DVD library (no cable). Your only neighbor ... See "The Royal Mango - Family Vacation Cottage" or click on "all my rental listings" below ... is across the yard far away enough with separate parking and entrance. Consider having your friends or extended family members stay there.
THE MANGO SHACK is Great fun! Still a great price. It is the way to enjoy Kauai Hawaiian Style, be totally comfortable and still have money to spend on activities! Please send me an email if you need more info on The Ultimate Kauai Vacation Rental called The Mango Shack.

We stayed for two weeks and that was a mistake. I think you could stand this place for a few nights but the bugs both inside and out and run-down condition and lack of amenities-including those listed on the description make this a tough place for an extended stay. Outdoor shower was the best, though.
Owner response:We have multiple guest books (not online) of hundreds of happy comments and reviews... The Mango Shack is booked almost full time and an unhappy customer is rare. I am sorry you never contacted us during your stay so we could attend to your needs. Yes, the Mango Shack IS a "shack" on pretty land that is mowed and trimmed, adjacent to jungle - and it is priced as such. It is advertised as "rustic" and it is fun. Amenities refer to well stocked kitchen utensils and appliances, hot shower, privacy and fresh clean towels and linens - all there. Understandable if you need more - perhaps a "shack" is not the way to go. I love Kauai and want to share the experience - there are lots of higher end and high priced places to stay. The Mango Shack makes Kauai available to those who want to enjoy the island and need a clean place to sleep each night in a great North Shore location!

A great deal - has its drawbacks. . .

Stayed at the Mango Shack for several days at the beginning of November. Weather was wetter than usual but the Shack was a cozy place to spend our time on the north side of the island. Be prepared for mosquitoes! The best way to combat them is to enter and exit the Shack quickly and don't let them come in with you. The outdoor shower was great but had to stay under the water to keep the mosquitoes at bay. Geckos were fun to watch in the evenings and the birds of paradise (Kauai roosters) were out in fine form early in the mornings. The kitchen has everything we needed to get by for preparing our own meals and the location of the shack made us feel miles from the touristy resorts while still being realatively close to a nice beach and the highway.

This was our first time in the jungle rather than on a beach. I really enjoyed the screen windows and listening to the night sounds (we’re used to the Kauai chickens). The Shack was really clean when we arrived and well equipped. I loved the kitchen (it even had a salad spinner!) and the outdoor shower! We also enjoyed sitting on the deck playing with the “kitty”. But, you have to love bugs! They would come in every evening for a few hours and just be bothersome but don’t let them keep you away. My husband left tips for combating them in the guestbook. :)) The management is wonderful! They were really helpful prior to our stay and the one time I contacted them during our stay

Arriving at the Mango Shack we were greeted with just the island vibe that we were looking for--simple, clean and integrated accss to the outdoors. The outdoor shower was a special delight! Also, previous guests had left some wonderful treats that spoke highly of the Aloha spirit. But as delightful as the physical property was, the real treat was the management. We had a minor glitch with the Internet access. My text querry was immediately answered and the issue resolved promptly and with gracious accommodation FAR beyond my expectations. Suffice it to say I cannot find any superlatives to adequately convey my exprience of that level of service--truly astounding. A final word of caution though. Kauai is well-populated with feral chickens and the roosters begin their crowing around 2am! Bring your ear-plugs. And this is not just at the Mango Shack, this is across the whole island. I can't speak highly enough abo

We loved the shack the minute we saw it! Not fancy, but absolutely the nicest place we have stayed in our 3 trips to Kauai. Just up the road from Larsen's and Moloa'a beaches, and located close to both Hanalei and Kapaa. The kitchen was the best supplied we have come across, the hot plate and toaster oven, along with the outdoor grill were all we needed to cook fresh fish every night... and the friendly kitties got the scraps<grin>

We stayed at the Mango Shack from March 5-15th and we just wanted to let you know that we loved it! The Mango Shack truly made our holiday very fulfilling and we wanted to spend a lot of time there in the garden and on the deck even though I nearly got killed by a falling mango!! Which makes a great story by the way! The garden was amazing. We have told all our friends how wonderful your place is so hopefully they will travel to Kauai and stay at the Mango Shack. The house was also very clean and nice when we arrived!! I was sad to leave and we miss Mango! Just wanted to let you know how great it was. Thanks Melanie & Peter

LOVE this place! We like everything about it. When we arrived we were so happy at how clean and fresh everything was. We woke up on our first morning to a wonderful garden full of fruit. A true treat for us coming from Alaska. Love the outdoor shower. We would absolutely stay here again if we visit Kauai again. Thanks

What a great place! We spent 6 nights here and would have loved to have had it be at least 2 weeks. The island is wonderful and it was great to come "home" to the Mango Shack every evening. We cooked meals here and found everything we needed to prepare them. The mangoes were wonderful. What a great feast! The owners caring didn't end with booking, but they were available to help before and during the stay - and even after when I realized I had forgotten a charger there. We highly recommend a stay at the shack if open air, beautiful surroundings, a wonderful outdoor shower and a quiet place on the deck are what you are looking for. We hope to return to Kauai again someday and would definitely want to stay at the Mango Shack.

I really had a nice relaxing time while staying at the Shack. We stocked the fridge and stay put making meals on the outdoor grill. It was by far the most layed back week I can remember. The secluded Moloa'a beach close by was real treat. The outdoor shower is something to look foward to on my next visit.

We had a wonderful time at the Mango Shack. We especially enjoyed the openess of the Shack that allowed the wind and sounds to enter which made you feel truly a part of the environment. Breakfast and dinner on the deck were a real treat. The shack is rustic and secluded. If you want hotel amenities and activities, don't stay here. But if you want to feel as if you have really been a part of the island, you can't do better. Don
