Great place to stay on Kauai.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in this VRBO studio. It was a nice relaxing place to come back to every day after our adventures. The hosts gave us a very nice welcome gift and tour of the space on arrival. The studio had beach chairs, towels, and an umbrella we could use. Coffee maker and water kettle for making coffee and tea in the morning. Very well put together place! We were very happy with our stay.

Nice landing pad

On the tail end of my trip, with a few days left to enjoy. This was a great place to call 'home' at the end of the busy day - with a quiet back yard where I could work on my emails. Or have coffee with breakfast. Julie and Daryl were great hosts. Close to Old Koloa town and Poipu beaches.

Perfect Kauai home base

This property is simply charming. It is located on a quiet street and has a beautiful backyard. It was spotless and had absolutely everything we needed.

Our favorite courtyard location near Poi'pu Beach!

Julie and Darryl were so welcoming, the checkin-in process was easy and we had EVERYTHING we needed for an extended stay on Kawa'i. The studio was so clean and well provisioned, a welcome bag provided local treats, and the courtyard was so lush--this area around Poi'pu is like a botanic garden. Just 10 minutes from the beach but out of the hustle and bustle of beachside traffic, this neighborhood provides a wonderful opportunity in its own right for walks and hikes. We totally recommend this accommodation--excellent!

Amazing stay!

I loved staying in Julie and Darryls home. From the moment I arrived they greeted me with open arms and made my experience one to remember. With little treats that they gave to the recommendations that they had already written down; everything was a blast. Thank you Julie and Darryl for allowing me to feel at home!

Beautiful room in a lovely neighborhood

This is a beautiful room with lovely decor. The colors feel so Hawaiian and soothing. The space is actually larger than it appeared to be in the listing. We had plenty of room to relax and a custom designed closet for all our things. It has an amazing backyard and plantings. We really enjoyed the hosts and their friendly and welcoming assistance.

Perfect home base

This was the perfect place to stay during our busy getaway in Kauai! My fiancé and I did a ton of exploring, and needed a comfortable place to come home to. It was cozy, clean and in a great, central location. We appreciated the beach gear too! Darry and Julie were great hosts and we would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Kauai!

quiet little bungalow

We had a wonderful time staying at the bungalow. For the activities we had planed it was centrally located and just a fee minutes from Poi"pu beach. The birds greeting the day was a special highlight and of course the roosters. We felt like we had the house to ourselves because we didn't hear the owners at all. But they were quick to respond to texts and served our needs when they arose. I would recommend this spot for anyone. We felt like one of the locals.

Lovely Place

We had a wonderful time staying with Julie. She was incredibly welcoming and gave us some great recommendations. Beach towels, umbrella, and beach chairs were all provided and the walk-in shower is beautiful. The place is in a great location, near the botanical gardens and poipu beach and although the roosters were a bit loud in the morning, we didn't mind it and actually looked forward to hearing them. We would've stayed longer if we could!

Garden hideaway

Beautiful property, well-maintained. Julie has incredible attention to detail, and left us some lovely gifts, including coffee to start our day. Owners are available whenever you need them, and very helpful with suggestions and things to do. Had everything we needed for a week, and that backyard just makes the whole experience. Definitely recommend.

Excellent Place for a stay on Kaua'i

Kaua'i was our last stop on our vacation and the cozy little studio was just the right choice. After a day full of activities, we were always happy to come back to enjoy the beautiful private garden and cook a meal in the sweet garden kitchen. The location is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood, only 10 min away from beautiful Poipu beach and 30 mins from Lihue Airport. The interior is done really affectionate, with fresh-cut flowers. I would definitely recommend to others, not to book some random hotel but stay here. Thanks Julie and Darryl
