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!

Cozy cottage in the country

We’re from FL and we felt like we were at the tropical version of home. We throughly enjoyed the setting, the yard, the screened porch, all the wonder plants in the yard, the cows across the fence, and the convenience to town! It’s definitely great to have a host next door to help with anything. We’d love to come back!

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

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.

Profound Peace

Want to get away from the tourist hustle? This is the place. About a mile from Koloa town with shops and a full Save Big market, The cottage is well furnished with comfortable quality pieces. All rooms have generous windows to admit the refreshing trade winds day and night. The kitchen is well equipped, though most of the frying pans have rounded bottoms that are incompatible with the induction cook top. Lots of clean towels for use in the house plus some for the beach. The house even has a fire sprinkler system! We spent our time on the large screened porch, listening to birdsong, trade winds rustling the trees, hearing rain showers approach, an occasional neighing from a horse in the adjacent pasture. Never hear traffic or loud voices. Watching clouds scuttling by, changing the color of the forest on the mountain. We can only see a bit of two other houses so very private. The host is thoughtful-brought over battery powered lights when the power went out island-wide. What a gem! I enthusiastically recommend Hale Kipa!

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.

Cozy, beautiful home

We have a 20-month old and were looking for a place with more space and amenities than a hotel and this was perfect for our budget. Our daughter slept in the provided pack n play in the second bedroom while we occupied the primary bedroom. Each evening we enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch feeling the breeze, listening to the sounds of the night (including the wildlife), and watching the geckos climb around. In the mornings we enjoyed hearing the roosters and other songbirds. The house was extremely clean and very well stocked with all the necessities: coffee maker, cookware, Tupperware, etc., cooler, tote bags, even a plethora of toiletries and bug sprays, and many beach items. Having a washer and dryer in the house was perfect. The fans were powerful and worked very well. We were comfortable here and made ourselves at home! The location is very convenient for quickly getting to the beaches or shopping in Poipu or dinner in old town Koloa, and the house itself served as a great base for our longer days of driving to the north shore and to Waimea Canyon. We mostly kept to ourselves but when minor questions arose, the hosts were very communicative and helpful.

Great experience

Property was as described. Very charming cottage with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The enclosed patio was so awesome. Amazing view as you sip your morning coffee. Was easy to find and close drive to beach and town. Kitchen was well stocked with essential cooking and cleaning equipment. Property manager was responsive to a couple requests. Would definitely stay again.

Even better than the listing

This property is spectacular. It is nearby enough to Old Koloa Town but also feels like its secluded all by itself when you're there. The porch is amazing for reading, we loved that the wall of one of the rooms opened up to the main living space, the property immaculate. As a cherry on top, Loki, the neighbor dog is a total lover and will come right onto the porch if you want (but also will leave when you tell him to). Horses across the street and cows grazing in the field behind. 10/10 would stay again if I don't talk the owner's into selling me the place first ;)

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!

Slice of Heaven

As other's have said, the online pics don't do this property justice. Its so private, so lush and peaceful. Yet, at the same time, walking distance to Old Town Koloa. There is a huge plot of land right outsude the front door with a few horses and cows...there is the sweetest dog that lives next door, mamed "Low-key "! He comes and visits daily. There is a screened in Lanai, we ate every meal out there, its heavenly! This place is a place you can kick off your shoes and not worry about wet bathing suits ruining furniture. Willi and Tony are the kindest host's! Theres plenty of sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, etc. The grocery store is also walking distance...the only thing we could've bought was paper plates, but just used the glass dishes provided. We will definitely recommend this cottage and we will be back soon!

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!

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.
