PRIVATE HOME: 5 Min Walk to Beach, Pool & Tennis Courts

NOT A CONDO! This 2000-square-foot, stand-alone house is the perfect get away for your entire family. No shared walls, railings, entryways, elevators or parking lots so you can arrive with confidence and know that you will not be sharing your rental with other strangers. This 3 bedroom/2 bath home is a welcome retreat from your busy mainland lifestyle, with its vaulted ceilings, tropical island-style furnishings, fully-equipped kitchen, large laundry room, recessed lighting and skylights throughout, front courtyard, and backyard LANAI complete with lounge chairs, gas grill, hibiscus, and swaying palm trees.

Sliding glass doors from the guest bedrooms and dining room open onto the front courtyard, while the living room and master bedroom invite you to step out into the peaceful backyard and sheltered lanai. Step down into the warm, relaxing, sunken tub in the master bedroom suite. There are extra linens and beach towels.

Located on a cul-de-sac in Poipu Kai Resort next to the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort, Shipwreck Beach is just a short, 3 MINUTE WALK to the east via greenbelt pathways. Brenneke Beach and Poipu Beach Park with its wonderful children's swimming area and playground are a 5-10 minute walk to the west, also via greenbelt pathways.

Enjoy the outdoor gas BBQ grill and patio dining. If you choose to stay in touch with your office, you will find a dedicated, high-speed, Internet access line as well as wifi. There are tropical breezes and ceiling fans throughout to keep you cool.

The master bedroom has a KING, there is a QUEEN in the second bedroom, and 2 TWINS in the third bedroom. Additional sleeping for 2 extra guests upon request.

Perfect family home in great location!

We stayed at this home for a week and had a wonderful time! We were able to walk to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu beach very easily. The house was perfect for us (traveling with an 18 month old) and was well equipped for kids. One thing we did not read was the house does not have AC. It was quite warm when we initially got there but there are fans and all the windows open. The backyard was nice and we sat outside often.

Hawaiian gem

The location of this property is amazing! Within walking distance of many beaches. The wagon was a life saver! The property fit our large family well and we weren’t on top of each other in the least. We used the grill about every night! There were plenty of things in the kitchen for us to use to make meals. LOTS of things to make a stay with a toddler very comfortable- a potty seat, toys, a booster seat, a pack and play, a “floor bed”. The host was very responsive to a few questions we had about the home and so helpful! For the price, it was perfect. Many homes in the area are quite a bit more! A true gem and a great find for a great stay.

Perfect home for an amazing week!

We had the most magical week at this lovely home in Poipu, Kauai. The area is wonderful, the home is part of a lovely community mixed with full time residents, snowbirds and vacationing families. The community is a mix of single-family homes like Sonya's condos and a larger resort. We loved walking down to the pool each day which we often had to ourselves and spent time on the beach each day as well. Our favorite beaches were Brenneke's and Poipu which were less than 10 minutes from the front door (bringing all the beach equipment that was so thoughtfully provided.The house had everything we needed- we were a group of four- my two daughters and my father in his 80s so the layout of the bedrooms were perfect. The living room area was great for taking a break in the afternoons from the sun, and we made most meals in the home eating dinners each night on the back lanai. The privacy of the home was lovely and we heard very little from neighbors and zero traffic sounds. The ventilation system in the house worked amazingly well and I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and the breeze flowing through the bedroom.This home is a wonderful base camp for time in Kauai and we look forward to returning,

Great location

Great location near multiple beaches. We did some excellent scuba diving and snorkeling just down the road at Koloa Landing, and this made for an excellent base camp. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning, but we did alright without it.

Fun Family Vacation

Great location. The kids loved the daily wagon rides to Shipwreck Beach. Was a chill few days in a nice house. The house gets a little stuffy when it’s hot during the day so the more air flow you get going the better. Not super important but I think a remote might be missing for the living room TV (couldn’t figure out how to go “back”). All in all a great trip. Would stay again.

Fantastic family stay

Great location for our young family. Walking distance to pool, beaches and the Grand Hyatt where we were attending a conference. Quiet neighborhood with little traffic. The Owner was very accommodating and helpful to us with our stay and some specific needs that came up. I would recommend this to anyone looking for space to spread out with a young family while visiting the island.

Amazing

We were a family of 4, one of whom used a wheelchair, a set of grandparents and a sister, husband and 10 year old. The house was well located and has great kitchen and bar b q for meal prep. The location is very walkable and close to great beaches as well as a great jumping off spot for visits to other parts of the island.

Great stay!

Nice place to stay! Well equipped with kitchen supplies, beach towels, boogie boards, plenty of T. Paper and paper towels! Was a little warm in the late evening but cooled off nicely from about 11PM on! Close to a couple of beaches but seemed like a little longer walk than as stated. Our family of 8 fit very comfortable here with 2 younger boys sleeping on the pullout sofa. House needs a few updates but is very adequate. We enjoyed our stay here!

Nice stay in Poipu

This was a convenient and clean rental home. The location is very good. The amenities are good. Some beach equipment is available for use. The only downside was a lack of good air flow which made it hard to cool off the house, and one of the TV or TV remotes was not working. Everything else was great.

Terrific location and responsive host

All previous reviews are accurate. The house is as pictured. It’s charming and is true to the Hawaiian style. If you need air conditioning, you may want to reconsider this home; the house becomes extremely hot in the afternoon and early evening. After a few days, however, we didn’t miss having air conditioning! Overall, I suggest this home as it is located in lovely neighborhood close to two beaches.

Great location and we’ll stocked house

The location is unbeatable. Easy walk to both poipu beach and shipwreck beach which are two of the best beaches in the area. The house was well stocked with supplies including soaps, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner etc. There was great airflow in the house with the lower shutters that opened. The house was definitely dated but that was apparent in the photos. The appliances were touchy to get working correctly and the towels could use updating but otherwise we had a great time and would stay at this house again.

vacation home in Poipu Kai

Poipu Kai is a great location when visiting Kauai. This home has three bedrooms which is great for 1-2 families. Plenty of beds, futons and porta-cribs for littles. Overhead fans but NO A/C which is a big drawback during summer months. It gets quite hot and takes a long time to cool down, especially if there's not much of an evening breeze. Would be helpful if there were black out curtains on all windows to keep the heat out and additional fans as the overhead fan in of the bedrooms was not very strong. Nice lanai, grill and coolers to use during the day and beach stuff (boogies boards), chairs (one was broken). As mentioned by others, internet does not work in bedrooms. Pool was nice and it's within walking distance to Poipu beach (which is great).

Wonderful Kauai family trip!

I definitely recommend this vacation house! Very spacious, comfortable and clean vacation rental house for my family of 3 adults. It was the perfect "home away from home" for us during our 2 weeks on Kauai! The kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed. The living room, dining room, outside patio areas were wonderful. Bedrooms and beds were quite comfortable. Ceiling and floor fans in each room of the house. Home was conveniently located to everything in Poipu and Koloa area. Sonya--thank you for sharing your Kauai vacation home! We really enjoyed our stay there and the memories made visiting with family. I appreciate your prompt communications too.

This property is in a good location with easy access to many beaches and restaurants nearby. It does however need some TLC. The master bath shower does not drain, as well as the sinks in the main bathroom. The towels definitely need an upgrade and there are not enough of them. The patio area was filthy when we arrived, we spent our first night cleaning it. Also, the backyard pictures in the listing depicts a decent grassy space, however there is very small area of grass and dirt. Overall it is very dated and needs some love.

Fantastic home base for everything Poipu

It was the perfect place for our family. The description was accurate to a point because I somehow missed that this house is in the perfect location for everything. Poipu and all the beaches around it are a short walk away with turtles and seals and waves and snorkeling and Puka dogs (go there!). The other direction is Hyatt beaches with sand and lava rocks and views and hikes and it’s all connected by a great trail system. The house was big, quiet and great for a family. No air conditioning but you only notice in the afternoon for a little bit. Just open all the windows and vents and it’s great OR be outside in the afternoon and you don’t even know. Beds were great, plenty of beach stuff to borrow and lots of lounging areas after a long day at the beach. We loved our stay and the host and house were great. Easily recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Sonya DeAngelis

Host profile image
We live in the California Bay Area. We have 3 children and visit this house every year at least 3 times. We consider it our home away from home and our kids love the island and all its activities. We always discover something new on each visit.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house after visiting Kauai numerous times. Our first visit to the island was to the north shore to backpack the NaPali coastline. Since then, we decided to buy on the south shore due to its centralized location, resort feel and drier weather. We know you will love the location in Poipu since the house is within walking distance to 3-4 different beaches, restaurants, shops, pool and tennis.

What makes this property unique

Our extended family love the privacy of the inner courtyard, the closeness to the Grand Hyatt and the beaches, and our parents love the single level and openess of the house.
When our kids were younger, the inner courtyard and backyard were a great place for the kids to play.
