Great private location, beautiful home and property. Fruit and flowers everywhere! Was hard to peel away from the spacious Lanai where we enjoyed many home cooked meals. The house had everything we needed, from grill to rice cooker to snorkel gear. Really appreciated the kitchen knives being sharp, too! Similar to other reviews, roosters were a thing but its part of an authentic experience! Diane was a great host.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful, peaceful property. It's even better in person :) Great location! The owner was very responsive. Fresh mangos & limes awaited us upon our arrival. Wish we could have stayed a couple more nights!! We would definitely stay here again. We left some earplugs behind for those sensitive to the rooster's crow in the early morning

We loved our stay at Hale Kipa. The house is airy, breezy, plenty of room. Well-equipped kitchen to cook at home and save some money for Kauai adventures. The screened-in lanai was our favorite part. Views from the lanai are beautiful. This is what paradise looks like.The early morning rooster is a thing. He gets up around 3:30 am! Get some ear plugs, set your phone to background sounds, night setting is good. The house is in a semi-rural neighborhood yet the tourist area of Poipu is a quick 3 mile drive away and Old Koloa is right down the road. For us it was the best of both worlds.If we ever get back to Kauai we will come back here.

Wow!

All the amenities a family could need were found in this house! The house does not have A/C but with the ceiling fans and beeeze at night we stayed the perfect temperature to sleep. We loved the location (the neighbor cows were our favorite) and the roosters became our morning joke (they are quite vocal but we enjoyed these locals waking us up). The owner left us some fresh limes and they were the best I’ve had in a long time. The views from the porch where we enjoyed morning coffee were breathtaking. The old town is a must visit and it’s so close. Puka dog (yummy) and Poipu Beach (we saw turtles both times we visited) are a short drive too and so worth it! We cannot say enough wonderful things about this house!

Great location, great hosts

Situated right outside of old Koloa town and away from the hustle and bustle of all the resorts made it the perfect place to stay. The cottage was stocked with everythjng you'd need for your vacation--full kitchen, cookware, beach towels, goggles, etc. Highly recommend and would book again when I the island dueing my next visit.

Amazing tranquil cottage

We were surprised how big and awesome this home actually was; the pictures don't do it justice! Immaculately clean, a lot larger than we expected, especially going in through the double glass doors and into that high-ceiling foyer (no pics of that!). Everything that you need to enjoy the house was supplied, from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The best thing was the peacefulness and quiet. No road, people or traffic noise. The only thing you could hear were the birds and cows. If you like crowds and lots of noise, this is not the place for you. But if you revel in soft, beautiful nature sounds and soothing breezes, this is definitely the place for you. We spent many hours relaxing on the large lanai. We will be returning the next chance we get!

Great vacation home!

This was the best vacation home ever. We most of all enjoyed sitting on the lanai and enjoying the view. The house is spacious and very well equipped. It’s only a short drive to Poipu Beach and a 10-minute walk to Koloa, which offers some nice souvenir shopping, restaurants and grocery store. The roosters woke us early every day as they live right outside the master bedroom, but we didn’t mind that too much. Definitely recommend this place!

Great but noisy

The cottage was super nice. It was clean and is in an extremely convenient location. The only difficulty for us was that each night we were there we were woken up multiple times by various animals around the house. There was a rooster right outside our window that was crowing very loudly for a lot of the night. We were also awoken by what seemed to be a wild pig right outside our window. If you’re gonna stay here consider bringing ear plugs for sleeping.

Rustic cozy and wonderful

By far, one of the best places we’ve stayed because of its rustic charm, ample space, good cozy vibes. This place was a wonderful experience to disconnect from it all and have some tranquility. It is a great property for families, and fairly close to a lot of the great hotspots, but without the crowds. Would definitely recommend anyone and look forward to returning soon.

We loved the cottage, location, fact that was in a residential neighborhood was a plus. We’ve stayed in the resort areas in the past and nothing compared to the location. Extremely quiet, clean, peaceful. Will return

charming and peaceful

Wonderful place to spend a relaxing vacation! Located away from the hustle and bustle of the beaches and large resorts, yet still extremely convenient. Rooms were clean, kitchen well-stocked, even better than described. Yes - we were woken up at 5am by the neighborhood rooster the first day, but had grown kinda fond of him by the end.
