So close to the beach, and an amazing Lanai for coffee and sunrise. Host is very attentive and responsive. There a quirks with parking and no dishwasher, but everything you need is here and we will be back!
We absolutely loved this location. The description was exactly as advertised. The home was spacious and clean. No issues with anything inside the property. The rooms were great and the AC worked fantastically. The short walk to the beach was great and gave us some great walks whenever we wanted. Hosts were awesome. They left a birthday gift basket for my son, replied promptly to messages and even allowed for us to have early check in as flight arrived earlier than expected. At the end my wife and son both said they would love to stay here again.
Good communication from host both prior to and during the stay. Nice property. Some expected "starter staples" were missing such as sugar and salt. Great location a few minutes walk from beach. We would definitely recommend this property.
The location is great. Close to the beaches and a really welcoming neighborhood. The communication was as good as it gets, and we had so many good times thanks to the preparatory information provided. And that view!
This house was comfortable and clean and ideally located near a few great beaches. The hosts were great, very responsive and provided some kind welcome gifts. The property also had some fun beach gear that can be conveniently borrowed. 10/10 would stay here again.
Everything here is excellent, except lacking of one table for lunch or dinner.

Mahalo for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you found everything excellent during your visit. We appreciate your suggestion about adding an extra table for lunch or dinner. Your comfort is important to us, and we'll certainly consider this to enhance the dining experience. We hope to welcome you back soon and provide an even better experience.
Close to Poipu beaches, 30 minutes from Lihue airport, great view of the ocean, comfortable beds, nice amenities, a lovely home away from home from which to enjoy Kauai.
Great location and very comfortable! We did have an issue with the air conditioner, but Jed was quick to respond and do everything he could to make us comfortable. It was very well stocked, incredibly clean, and very comfortable! Wonderful amenities, we had everything we needed. Would stay again, and definitely recommend!
we really enjoyed our stay. The beach was approximately 1 1/2 blocks away. It's a nice walk. One night we went to beach at sunset and saw about 20 turtles come from the ocean to spend the night at the beach.
This place is in the perfect location walking distance to the beach and came with snorkel and other gear, beach chairs and towels that made our stay absolutely seamless. The place has a view of the mountains and the water, and we felt so welcomed by everyone around us. I can't recommend this place more. No issues at all.

So happy that you enjoyed your stay at our family vacation property! Please come back to stay with us again. :)
Located within easy walking distance of a beach plus an ocean view from the balcony. While we didn't use much of the kitchen, it looked well stocked with dishes and appliances. Location worked well to travel to all other areas of the island. Property manager communication was excellent.
This is THE place to be in Kauai. Poipu has so much to offer. It’s safe, convenient, beautiful. This property checked off every mark. It was clean, welcoming, easy to get to, beautiful location with an ocean view. I can’t wait to revisit.
My family and I had a wonderful time. We loved the veiw from the back porch. It was an amazing place to be. There were so many birds that came right up to us. I say this place is a 6 out of 5 stars. And everything was Perfect!!!🙂😄
