The house and location were perfect for a family vacation with multiple generations (Ages 3- 80). We were extremely happy with the place. Our stay was in May 2025.
The property was even better than we expected. It is very organized, clean and we had everything we needed for meals, beach time, etc. We would totally rent again if we get back to the island.
Perfect location, perfect house for a family or group of friends. The second downstairs living area was especially useful for us - 2 families. Great layout and combination of indoor and outdoor spaces.
Very nice home near beaches and walking paths. Nice pool for swimming but at a cold temperature.Home could use som landscape cutting back of bushes on driveway and update some kitchen appliances
Had a wonderful stay on Kauai! Property met ours needs perfectly, it was a multigenerational family vacay. Within walking distance to Poi Pu beach and Brennecke's Beach. Would highly recommend this property for larger groups. Off street parking too.
We so enjoyed our stay at Soft Landings. The house is equipped with everything you need for a great stay. Kitchen is stocked with all the necessities. Very roomy and clean shared spaces for family interactions and gathering for meals. There are short walks to amazing beaches and pools.
Our family of 8 stayed here for a week. It was very comfortable with plenty of room. Lots of lush palm trees & foliage surround the house protecting it from the other homes. It’s not the quietest neighborhood I’ve ever been in but there are lots of birds to listen to!
I would definitely recommend.
We were celebrating a recent family member’s passing and the unforgettable memories of previous Kauai vacations. We flew from San Francisco, Sacramento Seattle and Honolulu. The spaciousness of the house met all of our needs and allowed us to walk to the beach/pool and restaurants. Although the ‘Hideaway’ was located in a resort area, the private driveway, upper and lower patios, surrounding trees and hammock made it feel like our own paradise.
A great space for a large group or multigenerational family.
The house was clean and spacious, with comfortable beds, plenty of bath and beach towels, lanais all around the house, and a kitchen with everything you could possibly need. The property manager was responsive and helpful, and we had an all-around wonderful stay. Our only disappointment was that the pool heater was broken while we were there, so we weren't able to enjoy the pool and hot tub.
The home was very clean and welcoming, and the location was perfect for short walks to the Poipu Beach area. Of the five bedrooms, three could be considered "primary" or fairly equal, and two are definitely less appointed. Management was friendly and responsive to some problems we encountered, however follow up was a bit slower. Overall it was a good experience to stay there.
Property was great…very comfortable! We stayed in guest suite which was better than any apt I’ve ever owned! The refrigerator in upstairs rooms went on fritz but management was on it immediately! Very responsive rental support! I highly recommend Soft Landings to anyone venturing to the island.
Soft Landings at Poipu, Kauai was the perfect house for our family of 8; 5 adults, 2 children, and a teen. Every thing was provided for us, and we only had to shop for food for a week. Everyone had their own space and bed to sleep each night. House was situated perfectly for a quick walk to the beach, Brennecki's, Kalapaki Joes, and Puka Dog. Sunset from one of the balconies was a nightly ritual for our family. I highly recommend this property for the perfect family vacation on Kauai.
Amazing house minutes from all the beaches. Great common areas for hangout with fa ily and game night. Would come back again year over year. Do yourself and your family a favor and book this place vs. Hotel rooms. The staff are amazing too. Great communicators, easy and painless check in and check out process. Available for questions upon demand and if they miss your call, they call you back within 5 minutes. Can't say enough how easy the staff make this trip for us.

We enjoyed the house and it was great for our group of 8 people. I did mention that one of the air conditioning units was not working but we just dealt with it because there was a nice breeze. I was a little disappointed that no one came out to fix it, but otherwise the place was perfect. Close to everything.

Aloha Elizabeth, Mahalo for your review. I checked the log and it seems like we missed the ac problem. I am so sorry. It has been fixed so it shouldn't be a problem in the future. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate the five stars. Sincerely, Koloa Kai
Place was great! Great location and plenty of room for all. A few of the appliances however, do need replacement. The refrigerator & freezer was not working when we arrived and the sink/dishwasher had a slight leak underneath the cabinet. Fortunately our food was able to make it as management brought a smaller refrigerator replacement to get through the week. Otherwise, everything was great.

Aloha, Koloa Kai
this house was split so you could rent a one room, a small suite for two, two bedrooms and a large living/dining/kitchen area or all of it! The outdoor lanai's were spacious. A 10 minute walk to the beach. Close to quaint shopping and restaurants. Located on the "sunny side" of the island.
The management was amazing with continued contact before and through the whole journey of the rental.
The only things that would have been better, is if all the lights and fans switches were labeled, it would have been perfect for the average family. Note this is not handicapped/elderly friendly.

We had a wonderful time. The property provided lots of indoor and outdoor space. We enjoyed cocktails on the back deck and sunsets on the front deck. The house was well equipped and comfortably furnished. The location is perfect. We could walk to beaches, restaurants, the pool, hot tub and tennis courts. We spent days on the beach- even did some surfing.
We had a problem with the dishwasher and management responded quickly and stuck with it under the problem was fixed.
I highly recommend this property.
It could use a couple more wine glasses- hardly a complaint.
Thank you for a wonderful family holiday.
Our family of 9 including 2 kids (3 1/2 and 16 months) had a great week at the property. The 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms worked out very well for us as a multi-family unit. Enjoyed the wrap around lanai and multiple places to enjoy each other's company or be solitary. Appreciated the provision of a portable crib and high chair. Beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards were provided. Management was very responsive to questions.
The location was an easy walk to Poipu Beach with great kids beach and a quick walk to Shipwrech Beach in the other direction where we enjoyed multiple sunrises on the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. Great location for excursions to the West side, Waimea, as well as to the North side, Hanalei Bay and Princeville. Would definitely stay here again.

Good place for family. Had a failure with 55" TV but was corrected within 48 hours. Lighting in main living space made it difficult to read on rainy evenings. Beach and pool access was more than advertised - e.g., 20 minute walk. Getting rid of garbage from previous renters was an immediate challenge. Weather made for more days / evenings at house.
