We stayed near Poipu, drove every road on the island, and fell in love with Hawaii, her people, and her culture. So much so, that we&#8217;ve come back every chance we&#8217;ve had through the years.<\/p><p>During those trips, each of our three kids grew their own relationships with Kauai. Our oldest is a surfer, our middle kid lives for sunsets, and our youngest lives in the water.<\/p><p>As fate would have it, we were all on the island in 2020 when Covid-19 hit. Lockdown, quarantine, and stress lead us to madness and it wasn&#8217;t long before we did something really irresponsible &#8211; A family of 5 from Texas bought a little 1960&#8217;s beach house in Koloa, HI.<\/p><p>We would have been nervous about the life implications of such a rash decision, but we had so much work ahead of us \u00a0that we just didn&#8217;t have time to waste the stoke. The floors needed replacing, the kitchen redone, and the walls removed and re-painted. And, of course, there was plenty of decorating and maintaining to do.<\/p><p>The idea of Hale Mano was to keep the house&#8217;s mid-century modern roots while updating it&#8217;s livability to a more modern standard. I think we&#8217;ve done that and hope you enjoy the home as much as we have.<\/p><p>See, Hale Mano is now a sacred place for our family. It&#8217;s where we go to live and where we always yearn to be.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Sincerely,<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07840f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"07840f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/halemanokoloa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/signature-pc3v6qmaut0n1ja2kinnlfbfdcu3o7y0ipujbzvzv2.png\" title=\"signature\" alt=\"signature\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d23ba53\" data-id=\"d23ba53\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b213a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9b213a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/halemanokoloa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/surfordie-pc3udxu6l4nlbx94ryjwod8pdu8k1hfrpsuyrm1qtc.png\" title=\"surfordie\" alt=\"surfordie\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>backstory A Family of 5 Almost twenty years ago, we had our honeymoon on the island of Kauai.
