After exploring the island from this convenient basecamp, enjoy playing a board game, streaming your favorite show from the smart TVs, or just kicking back with a drink in the spacious lanai.

Take the 10 minute walk to several beaches, or a short 3 minute drive. Loading and unloading grocery/beach gear is super easy: assigned parking next to the private entrance. Enjoy a family meal prepared in the spacious remodeled kitchen. AC throughout keeps you cool.

Perfect peaceful paradise

10 delightfully peaceful days with my husband and two adult daughters celebrating my 80th birthday. We especially enjoyed the location and siting of the condo amongst the trees on the rim of Poipu Crater. The pool was pristine and often we were alone. We were able to visit beaches, gardens, and beauty spots easily. Good restaurants nearby.

A nice place to stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Only suggestion I could make is that you provide a little booklet that answers frequently ask questions, such as how to operate the heating and air conditioning units, local places to find groceries, a directory of where to find churches, Suggestions on how to use the TV and streaming service, etc.

The place was lovely in a quiet, stunningly beautiful location just a shirt walk to world class beaches. The listing does not do it justice. This home was perfect for our family of 4. When I return to Kauai I would hope to be able to stay there. Attentive management delivering a top notch customer service experience. Cant say enough good things about our trip. Thank you

Why they chose this property

I started traveling to Kauai over 10 years ago,; just about every year my husband and I returned, always to Poipu Crater. It calls to us. The south shore is a tad sunnier, a little less crowded, the beaches are beautiful with easy access, and convenient for hiking, shopping and going out. Poipu Crater in particular - the bird songs are mesmerizing, the plumeria-scented air intoxicating. Small clutch of villas, each one spaced out from the others, are enveloped in lush tropical plantings overlooking a spacious central garden. So intimate, the place makes us feel like we’re the only ones let in on this secret! I’m grateful for the opportunity to own a little piece of paradise, and excited to welcome fellow travelers to explore the beauty of the island!
