About Julia Allen
Aloha! I'm Julia, a Kauai native, nature-lover and rainbow seeker. This magical place brings me so much joy - waterfalls, moonrises, flowers, sunrises, sunsets, and the ocean. All we need to do is show up and soak it up! Mahalo for taking a look at my van, honored to be a little part of your stay here <3.

Julia A canceled the booking 3 days before departure. This is an automated posting.

Pick up was not smooth. Julia was not there to help or explain. The address received by text did not correspond to the car lot. Pic #12 does explain it better. The lot is also on google maps. Tip - go get the van on foot, pick up the luggage after, if possible. Workings of the van were not clear - the sliding door has a release when fully open. The parking brake has a manual lever to release. Julia did help on this by phone. We never received any paperwork for the rental. The van had some issues - no windshield washer fluid/water - rear indicator light not working, we discovered near the end - this was not new, however, as the indicator noise was always different left/right Nb. We did not ask Julia to fix these - so no idea if this would have been fixed - she was helpful on the phone previously however. On the last day - 1 we had to call the breakdown number (outdoorsy) as the van refused to start. With a jump lead this was resolved. This made us a little worried to fully use the van on the last day. Otherwise we were pleased with our experience with Manny Vanny. We decided to spend 5 nights at Kumu camp (in the van) which we would recommend. The experience would have been 5 stars with a properly maintained van and better pick up routine.

Manny Vanny is terrific for camping. With a bed, yeti cooler, and little extras ( mini clothes line, solar lamp, paper plates and plastic forks& knives), we had what we needed for a great Kaua'i trip!!

Great experience in this van! Julia was great at communication and we felt that we had everything we needed. We were able to park easily in all parking spaces and felt that the car was safe and durable

We wouldn’t recommend anyone renting from this owner, period. The owner really messed up our 3-day trip. She made us miss almost a worth of one full day in two days. When we landed in Kauai, we were told to pick up the van at Walmart parking lot. We went to Walmart via Lyft ride and we couldn’t find the van. She kept saying the van was there so we looked again around for a long while and still couldn’t find the van. She called the police then immediately said it was towed. She said the towing place was closed for the day and will not be open until 9AM the next day. On the next day, we waited and waited for her response till 11AM and told us that the towing place wouldn’t release the van because it had to be her that picked up the van, not someone else. She said she’s out of town for 1.5 months and she needed to cancel our booking! We decided to call the police to confirm if the van was, in fact, towed. Police said they confirmed they did not any records of the van being towed. She also had two different phone numbers - one area code located in Kauai and another one in Seattle, Washington. This really raised so many red flags. The owner really didn’t care about us but herself. You would be grateful listening to this honest review and stay away from the heartless owner, who didn’t care about the fact that we wasted a day worth because of her stupid mistake!

Julia & her van were great! Julia was very easy to communicate with, very kind and the van was just as described. Having the van pick-up/drop-off near the airport was very convenient. The whole thing was seamless! The van was quite spacious, and very clean. It was the perfect home for my short trip to Kauai :)

Julia was awesome, fast reply and super accommodating. The van is fantastic, it drives really well and doesn't take long to feel comfortable cruising the Kauai roads.
