About this property

Hale Mano Kia - Classic 3BR West Side Bungalow . Steps from the beach! TVNC 5001

This will truly be your home away from home vacation! Nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood, you'll be immersed in Kaua'i's ~island time~. Enjoy the less than two minute walk to the beach for the unobstructed view of Ni'ihau and the beautiful white sands of Kekaha Beach. Imagine being lulled to sleep by the sound of breaking waves, it's amazing!
If you want to experience true Hawaiian living, this is it! Clean, 50's style beach bungalow with three bedrooms, large indoor bathroom with a tub/shower combo, and a second bathroom with an outdoor shower to enjoy after a day at the beach or hiking. There is utmost privacy in the hedge bordered yard, all to yourselves. The barbecue area is shaded and perfect to enjoy meals outdoors.
We provide beach chairs, towels, surfboard and boogie boards for your enjoyment of the island. Take a walk along the beach and catch one of our amazing sunsets!
Nearby are two parks with expansive lawns, basketball/tennis/pickleball courts, play structure, swing set, and views of the ocean within two blocks. They're great places to play for kids when they want to get out and run!

*Charging an electric vehicle at the Premises incurs a $50 fee. *

Great stay, less traffic, beach less than 5 min walk

Our family of 4 chose to stay here, close to a beach. We knew that Kekaha Beach may not be swimming safe for our 6 and 8 year old, but the beach was stunning as well as the canyon range within view. Our kids did swim on the calmest of days during spring brealm Salt pond beach 20 minutes away and worked out well for the kids and adults. There were beach towels, chairs, coolers, snorkeling gear, beach toys, boogie boards. The home was cozy, stocked with everything needed even some previously left sunscreen and spices/oil in the pantry. The home did get warm midday, but there are fans throughout the home and most of the time was spent out of the house during the day. Sunsets are beautiful at Kekaha. The outside shower is amazing. The laundry facilities was also a real nice amenity. Great stay for a family. Perfect for a less busy area but every where is a drive from here. Waimea is close and a great place to stop for shopping, dining, shave ice at Jojos. The hosts were very receptive to inquiries/texts. Thank you, Liz and Chad!

Excellent Location!!

We had a terrific stay at this home. Chad and Liz were excellent hosts and were right there with everything we needed. Very short walk to beach to watch the sunrise every morning and the sunset in the evenings. This home is very well stocked for all your needs inside and out. I rated it 4 stars for listing accuracy only because of the 2nd bathroom. I did not realize there was one bathroom in the house and the other bathroom was a toilet and utility sink in the laundry room outside. This made it a little difficult getting everyone ready for a wedding but we made it work. The outdoor shower was great and we used daily after coming home from the beach. We would definitely come back to this home for another stay.

Living as local in Kauai

We loved the beach cottage location, appointments, the owners quick response to questions, and the private indoor-outdoor feel of the yard and house. We prefer cooking our own meals and staying away from tourist areas - this was just right.

Awesome house & hosts!

We came for a baseball tournament in nearby Waimea. The house was perfect for the 4 of us! Plenty of room, beds were SOOOO comfy, and the outdoor shower was awesome. We used that more than the indoor one! The layout of the house is great and the yard is spacious. It’s on the quieter side of the island, which is perfect for relaxation; but still close to everything great. It also has lots of goodies to use at the beach. I can’t say enough how much we loved this place; and to top it off Chad & Liz are amazingly attentive hosts. Mahalo for letting us stay in your home.

Enjoying Kekaha

Family loved the convenience of walking to grandparents’ home that was just a few houses away and the beach. Neighborhood was safe and friendly. Enjoyed the outdoor shower after a day at the beach. Rental was stocked with equipment for outdoor activities including snorkeling. Would definitely want to stay there again. Winters would be best since weather is cool and no AC is needed.

Best West Side VRBO

Great accommodations. Very clean and all the conveniences. This was our 4th trip to the island, and our most comfortable stay. Beds were clean and comfy, bathrooms clean and nicely decorated, and kitchen has everything you'd need to make meals. The neighborhood was a bit noisy at night (I don't mean the roosters) but location was between our 2 favorite beaches (PMRF and Salt Pond). 5 miles away from Big Save (grocery), and several restaurants (steak house, bbq, pizza, Tiki Tacos). The "beach shack" was also convenient (bikes, boogi/body boards and other beach gear). This was the first time I didn't need to buy and leave boogi boards on the island. Overall, great VRBO.

Good price, but hot!!

Had high expectations, cute place, loved the outdoors space and shower! Beach was very close!! However there was no pool as was described and the inside was very hot!! We were only provided one fan that barely worked and exhaust fan that did not help much and was extremely loud. We had to go and buy a few more fans just to be able to go inside the bedrooms. Very cute and good value but an AC or more fans would be helpful! We ended up sleeping outside some nights as it was cooler outside!

Most Relaxing Vacation

This was our first time in Kauai - you would need to rent a car for sure. The drive was not too long to get to this location. You never know what to expect but as you pull to the driveway to feel a sense of coming home. The gardens are very well kept - the signs in the driveway are a cute touch. The best part is when you get inside - the coziness of this place is incredible. The quality of furniture / decor/ art - is well placed. The ocean is few mins away - best way to spend your first day relaxing on this ocean as it's not busy - feels very private. The sunsets are magical since you're on the west side. The hikes to Napali / Waimea Canyon are easy to reach since you're on the west side. We did a luau at the Hyatt which was quite nice. Book early if you want to get one in while you stay as it sells out fast! The east coast is definitely more tourist but worth the drive up north and east and visiting falls and small towns. Overall we loved everything about this home and would definitely come back again. If I can mention one or two things to improve would be better shampoo/conditioner and missing body wash as well - the iron needs a update. But again these are small things that didn't set us back in anyway. I forgot to mention the outdoor shower we used daily as well the bbq was nice change to eat outside. The beach gear definitely came in handy for all the beach stays - all in all for a family of 4 with teenagers - we all left feeling relaxed and raved about your lovely home.

Fabulous property

We had a wonderful time staying at the Kekaha bungalow. The house had everything we needed, and was close to south side activities, such as NaPali tours and Waimea canyon . The house also felt home, with room for our family to spread out and relax, after our long days out adventuring. Thanks again for letting us stay!

Beautiful and comfortable

This home was perfect for our family vacation. They supplied us with everything we needed. All we had to do was bring our own food. The location was great, very close to the beach. The home was better than I expected it would be. The pictures on the website, do it no justice. It is so much nicer than expected. The owners were very responsive when we called with questions. My son and his wife accidentally left behind their wedding rings and the housekeeper immediately notified the owners to call us. It was great to know that we have business to honest people. We would love to return and stay here again in the future.

Spring Break ‘23

Our time here was exceptional. The beach bungalow was *as advertised. We enjoyed the patio area during the evenings and our boys enjoyed playing catch with the football in the yard. The outdoor shower was awesome, in fact our boys actually showered outside one night because they could and loved it so much. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and dishes. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. Thank you.

Cute, Clean House in a Great Location

My family of four loved staying at this property. It was clean, well maintained and had all the amenities we needed. It's location in a quiet (except for the roosters!) neighborhood a couple of blocks from the ocean is also an excellent place to explore the South and West Shore of the island, although the North Shore is a bit of a drive.
