Our family stayed here for seven days and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Scott and Laurie had all of the essentials covered. They responded promptly to all of our questions. It was a short walk in either direction to Shipwreck beach or Poipu / Brennecke's beach. The home was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Also, having AC in all of the bedrooms was a big plus. We would definitely stay here again.

Greatest location

This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Works great for a family of 6. Quick walk to the beaches and to the Grand Hyatt and a couple restaurants. Owner has all the beach things for your use which was a huge convenience. House is spacious with lovely outdoor area. Some things need updating but the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. And the beds are comfy.

We were blessed to spend a week in Scott & Laurie's beautiful home. The indoor space was wonderfully functional & fantastic, only matched by the beauty of the outdoor areas and ability to walk to several local beaches.
