Terrible experience. Started with the toilet being turned off and the toilet tank empty when we got…read morethere. Reached out to the property manager and they said everything was working fine before we walked in the door??? Took them 18 hours (8:51 p.m. to 3:03 p.m) to fix it so we didn't have a working toilet through the night. I had to find a bucket on my own to use to fill with water and get it to flush. We also could walk about 8-10 minutes down to the beach and use those filthy toilets or ask the local restaurants. Next issue was a concern of our privacy in the bathroom. There was a large hole in the wall (partially covered with a picture) and I mean LARGE that led to a closet/storage area. If someone was in the closet, they could see directly into the shower. The hole was big enough to where someone could tip the picture out and literally grab you. Pictures attached. When I raised this with the property manager (who you never actually see on site), they simply said that nobody was in the closet so don't worry about it. Lastly was the bathroom was disgusting. More pictures attached. I asked for a partial refund and they said they would mail us a check (even asked for the mailing address). No check ever arrived and they stopped responding to my follow-ups.

The host, "Pete", double booked our room, shut the door in our face when we arrived and refused to…read moregive a refund. We arrived the day after the start of our rental agreement. He claims we "No Showed", but we clearly showed up and stood face to face with him as he fumbled through an explanation as to why it was our fault that he rented our room to someone else. VRBO failed to honor their rental guarantee which states we 'have the right to enter the rental for the ENTIRE duration of our rental term'. Throughout the process of trying to get a refund, Pete repeatedly sent multiple inappropriate text messages to my wife telling her to "F$#% You"... "Sh@# Head". He only stopped after we filed a harassment report with Kauai Police. We are considering pressing charges. Pete is very two faced and what he says to in front of you is not how he feels or what he thinks about you when he is behind a computer screen. Don't let him SCAM or BULLY YOU. GO ELSEWHERE

Hale Kua is awesome! It's about 10 min from the beach and 20 min from the airport. You feel like…read moreyou're out in the tropics but everything you need is close by. It's very peaceful and beautiful. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Cathy but Bill was very kind. The Mango room had plenty of space. Although there is not breakfast served here, you could easily make meals in your suite. Very reasonably priced. Would come here anytime!

Great stay overall, with a few highlights slash special notations…read more 1. This is not your traditional B&B in that you are served breakfast in the morning around a huge table with a local host. Perhaps better--this place is literally a one-bedroom apartment. No formal breakfast in the morning, but... 2. With a kitchenette (i.e., no stove or oven), you can literally make whatever you want for breakfast (just not fried eggs--don't do what we did & buy a dozen eggs from the store, ya can't cook em). But wish a full size fridge, a microwave, and a toaster oven, you can get pretty creative & make one helluva meal before you head out. 3. This is on the "quiter" part of the island, the south side. That said, we did find some great nearby food options: Kalaheo Cafe & Coffee for breakfast AND lunch, then Bobbi's for bbq pulled pork platters/sandwiches. Those places will *not* let you down. 4. The place can be tricky to find, especially at night since it's tucked up away into the hills a bit, without much, if any, street lights. Do your best to try to find it the first time in the daylight. 5. Yes, the hiking trails nearby may require an SUV to drive up them, but not this place; your regular car is fine. Just make sure the headlights work. 6. I'm not sure there's any a/c here, though opening the windows at night cooled the place off just fine for us. Beware of the roosters in the morning though; those bad boys wake up around 5am, and if your windows are open, you'll be awake too. We just shut the windows at that point, no big deal. 7. Any beach gear you could need is here; umbrella, 2 beach chairs, tons of beach blankets, a cooler, and 2 boogie boards. Super, super helpful. 8. And last but *definitely* not least: A full size washer & dryer. Literally the life-saver of the trip. 9. Runner-up life-saver: the hiking book tucked away on their bookshelf. Updated in 2014, so a newer edition, and another *huge* help. We didn't leave the apartment without it.

The backyard and the pool: beautiful. Sometimes we decided to hang out at the pool the whole day. One day Dan came over and we picked fresh coconuts from the palm tree. For our stay at the beach, they handed out boogie boards and fins. Kila gave us the sports, playing in the garden. But beware, you will never catch her. ^^ Lynettes breakfast is amazing, with home roasted coffee, eggs, pancakes and her famous banana-syrup. She surprised us every morning inclusive a self made chocolate-espresso birthday cake. Wow. Poipu itself is the most beautiful spot on Kauai and Dan, Lynette & Kila gave us an unforgettable stay no hotel can do. Thanks so much guys!

The room is so comfortable and well decorated, with a spa worthy bathroom. There was a kitchenette which was perfect for packing lunch for the beach, and breakfast, provided by Colleen, your gracious host, is out of this world. We've stayed at the five star resorts on the south shore, and the Leialoha Ti stands tall next to them. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great getaway to relax and recharge the batteries.

I have a feeling we got the worst room because we only booked one night, which is understandable…read more The staff is great, but our room was truly yucky. It had the smell and grime of having had a long history as a smoking room. We weren't able to manage humidity and temp. There was significant road noise.

A tv with a choice of stations & DVDs (We chose South Pacific, filmed nearby, & My Big Fat Greek Wedding).

THE CROWNING TOUCH: the room & lanai overlook a luscious roaring waterfall flowing in the Kilauea River, ensconced in a ravine of gorgeous tropical foliage. The river serves as beautiful white noise to block any noise (like morning roosters) but this is a very quiet place anyway. You can't get that guarantee at a hotel. ~ She leaves your beautiful breakfast outside your door in the morning. You eat alone in your room or the lanai in your PJs (if you like).

Breezes & beauty-no bugs. The bathroom also has louvered Hawaiian windows which look out on a beautiful private garden. ~ She provided delicious LION Hawaiian ground coffee for your in-room coffee maker,& fridge,microwave, picnic cooler, beach towels...
