Hale Mahana was truly an oasis or maybe an ark. Our 10 days in Kauai were fabulous but more than a little wet so we truly enjoyed everything about the house. Adrienne is a dream to work with and she really has thought of everything. The house is well represented by the photos. It was perfect for us (2 women friends traveling together) as both bedrooms were roomy with great air circulation, ceiling fans and incredibly comfortable beds (a big deal because I am never comfortable on other mattresses). One BR stands alone while the second has pocket doors that open to the living room. The bathroom is a good size with great water pressure. The second outdoor shower was helpful. (We only wished there was a better path between the outdoor shower and the front door). The kitchen and living room are open plan and very well equipped with sliding glass doors out to the lanai that is perfect for a glass of wine and incredible star gazing on clear nights. The house has neighbors but they are not uncomfortably close.The roosters are real folks as are egrets and tons of other lovely birds who visit the house. If the windows are open, the house and the entire island, comes with a wildlife alarm clock. Adrienne has provided everything for the beach including chairs and beach towels. We did visit the closest beach (1 mile down the road) several times and it is a wonderful stretch of sand. We highly recommend this house for couples or friends traveling together as a base for your adventures
