| I really had a nice relaxing time while staying at the Shack. We stocked the fridge and stay put making meals on the outdoor grill. It was by far the most layed back week I can remember. The secluded Moloa'a beach close by was real treat. The outdoor shower is something to look foward to on my next visit. |

We had a wonderful time at the Mango Shack. We
especially enjoyed the openess of the Shack that
allowed the wind and sounds to enter which made
you feel truly a part of the environment. Breakfast
and dinner on the deck were a real treat.
The shack is rustic and secluded. If you want hotel
amenities and activities, don't stay here. But if you
want to feel as if you have really been a part of the
island, you can't do better.

I visited this lovely little place at the end of September on my own at the spur of the moment. My vacation was meant to be a time of true escape; to vacate, collect myself, and recreate in the true sense of those terms.
I had a wonderful time, to say the very least.
After a day of exploring the island, searching for special places, I always felt glad to come back to the peace of this place. I could prepare a simple meal and kick back on the deck with a glass of wine and still feel 'connected' to the island.
I often found myself nodding off among the aromas of the beautiful, lush plants and flowers and the strikingly exotic birds and their songs. Even the chickens and the roosters with their often inopportune calls had their comical charm.
No luaus in the distance or lights to interfere with the incredibly dark sky and equally bright stars. The nights were generally silent as can be, broken only by an occasional rain - a recipe for sweet dreams, to be sure!
In the morning, a fresh pot of coffee, then a stroll down to Moloa`a Bay and one can know the meaning of heaven on earth.
If you want room service, stay in a hotel.
If you want to be waited on, go to a restaurant.
If you want to feel the real Aloha Spirit, stay in a place like this.
And if you are in love, sensuality is all around you here - you may not want to leave!
But do try to tear yourselves away and explore this astounding island.
A hearty Mahalo nui loa to the Roger's for sharing a very special place! |

| The Mango Shack was all we wanted...Nothing less, nothing more. When selecting a place to stay on Kauai, we wanted something that was somewhat remote, private, and had everything we would need to cook up things at home when we came back from a busy day out. The Mango Shack provided much more! Fruits from the backyard, and the Best Sunrise on the Island located down the road...what more could you wish for? If you like playing in the North Shore and East Side, this is the perfect location; central to them. Close to local farmers markets, and anything else you will need. The only thing the place needed was a Propane Grill, so we went out an purchased on and gifted it to the place. If that doesn't say we liked it, what else can? |

| Mango Shack is a gem in the rough. We've stayed in other "fancier" rentals, but this is the one where you can finally let your hair down. While it has every amenity we needed, Mango Shack doesn't take itself too seriously. It was pleasantly simple and uncomplicated. What could be better for Hawaii? |

| We stayed at the Mango Shack in March and had the absolute best time. This place is definately about being on a tropical island, and not at a luxery resort. Thats exactly what we wanted. We are dreaming about our return. |

| The Mango Shack has the fancy hotels beat as far as the kind of accommodations we like (private and rustic). It was delightful to make it our home for a week while we were visiting Kauai ~ so much nicer than sharing a building with a multitude of others. It was comfortable and cozy ~ the outdoor shower was the absolute best! |

We were honored to be the first guests at the
Mango Shack! This beautiful low-key retreat
had everything we needed--seclusion,
sweetness, a beautiful deck (w/BBQ!) that
overlooks a jungly valley, thoughtful and
functional details--and nothing we didn't --
hassles, crowds, phone calls. We spent
almost a month on Kaua'i, in a variety of low-
cost rentals, and the Mango Shack was
definitely our favorite! |

The Mango Shack is a restful and happy place to be. There are no worries here. Staying in the Mango Shack allows you to fully enjoy Kauai's natural setting, birds, breezes, fragrances and sounds (yes, even the Kauai roosters!) At night you will see the stars which are brighter than anywhere else and we hear the rythym of the distant surf rising up the valley. Kauai is a place to love and the Mango Shack is in the heart of it!
