This lovely home is the most perfect place for our family. The home itself is very comfortable, and liveable while away from home. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything needed, including lots of cookware, spices, and storage containers for food. The upstairs Master Suite is over the top. It's private, spacious and an ocean view! One of our favorite spaces was the lanai. An afternoon nap on the lanai with an ocean breeze - can't be beat! Brent and Karen were responsive hosts and texted back to us immediately when we had questions. The garage is full of beach toys, boogie boards and even wagons for taking the children to the beach. The beach!!! Several Poipu beaches are within a short walking distance. Brennecke's restaurant is also within walking distance. The perfect place!

What a beautiful house! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect for our needs. We have stayed several times in the area but this was our favorite. The house was very clean and we hope we left it as we found it. I apologize for not communicating before but we were busy having a great time! Thank you for making your house available! Greg

Clean, very easy access to beach. Owner communicates right away and cares about your stay being perfect. Had dinner on the lanai every night which was awesome. Beds are comfortable and each bedroom has its own ac unit which is nice. There’s plenty of toys for the beach in the garage. Dishes and utensils are plentiful and don’t seem to be the typical second hand stuff you find in most rentals.

Even better than the pictures

We had an amazing week staying at Karen and Brent’s property! In addition to being beautiful and spotless, it was possibly the most well stocked rental I have ever seen. We chose to cook many meals, and every single tool I might have wanted was available. Perfect location near Poipu and Shipwreck beaches. Highly recommend - 10/10!

Just amazing!

Everything about this house is amazing - comfortable, clean - the lanai & indoor / outdoor living was my very favorite, beds were luxurious, well appointed kitchen, all the beach accessories, 2 minute walk to great beaches, 5-20 minute drive to all the food you could want. Couldn’t ask for anything else in a vacation home away from home!

Awesome Place!

This place is fantastic. We stayed here for a month and loved every minute. The location of the home is perfect; central to other places to visit on the island, close to great restaurants, and a 2 minute walk to one of the best beaches on the island. Stand out items of the home are the large and comfortable lanai, the quality of the furnishings and cookware, the layout of the home, and the decor. The owner was very responsive and great to work with. We would go back to this rental in a heartbeat, no question about it.

Classic Kauai beach vibe and neighborhood.

You really have to walk in the door, to truly experience the easy, peaceful, laid back feel of the house. It is built and designed as the perfect beach home, without all the shortcuts taken when someone is building "just a vacation rental".
