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 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.

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!

Excellent stay

Located near a superb typical village, this villa is very well equipped, quiet (except the alarm clock in the rooster song) and allows you to quickly access the many wonderful places of the island. Essential car.

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.

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.

Residential property, just what we were looking for in Koloa

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.

Perfect Location

We had an amazing time staying at the cottage in Koloa. Willi is an wonderful host and the check-in/check-out procedures were easy. Our daughters loved that they had their own bathroom adjacent to their room. The whole house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The location was close enough to get to places, but far enough to get away from the noisy street. We can't wait to return next year!

An Oasis of Tranquility

This is a totally esthetically pleasing cottage in simple yet ample furnishings and decor. The lanai is especially wonderful with its views of the hills and inviting seating. We also appreciated the location of this property. It felt secluded, but was only a couple minutes away from the town of Koloa and just a few minutes more to Poipu Beach and all the other spots we wanted to see while on this part of the island. We would return here in a heartbeat!

The pictures really don't do this place justice.. The open space, natural lighting, and overall decorative ambience made this little cottage the perfect home away from home! Willi and Tony were sweet and very responsive to any questions we had. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Kauai! Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Peace and Roosters

Our stay at the cottage was absolutely wonderful. It was away from the hustle of town, but an easy drive to get places. The open air concept was wonderful and we enjoyed the horses/cows behind us as well as puppy love from Loki. Even the 'local' rooster we got used to - we just crowed back and he got quiet. We will definitely recommend this rental to anyone wanting to visit and stay in a great place away from the madness of the resorts.

Clean, quiet and so comfortable

We loved the Hale Kipa, it was a wonderful place to stay. Close to town yet tucked back in a beautiful lush garden setting with amazing mountain views. The owners live next door- Willi is very sweet and happy to help if needed otherwise they let you have your privacy. It was just perfect for the two of us, but with 2 bathrooms (and really 2 bedrooms) it's perfect for another couple or 2 kids. You have everything you need here to make one feel at home. We hope to come back Mahalo

Charming cottage

Our family of 5 really enjoyed the charming cottage. It was tucked back into a quiet driveway. Very charming. The screened patio was the family favorite spot for morning breakfast. There is a wonderful view of the garden and mountains in the distance. Small town of Koala is only minutes away. There was plenty of snorkeling masks and gogles. Couldn't have asked for a better place in Kauai.

Beautiful views and fun location!

This vintage cottage has gorgeous views of the mountains with a rural feel and 10 minutes from Poipu. The screened porch in the mornings was lovely and very relaxing. We had a few hiccups during our stay with plumbing and a broken ceiling fan during very hot weather. The cottage doesn't have A.C. so be prepared for warm afternoons during summer. The owner fixed the problems over a few days so we appreciate her quick attention.

Absolutely perfect.

This property captures the quiet and peaceful charm of the Kauai I recall from my childhood. The owners were wonderful and this property was very private and peaceful. In fact 23 other members of my family stayed in the Poipu area at various resort hotels, and everyone of them who visited us wanted to stay at Hale Kipa. It was very clean, had all the conveniences of home, and the lanai can only be described as heavenly. Close enough that all the Poipu area beaches and restaurants were only a couple of minutes away by car, yet in the mornings and evenings we could relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of the island without feeling like tourists. Thanks Diane (Willi) for sharing Hale Kipa with us, we hope to return soon.
