Location
•Kukui'ula Shopping Center is just around the corner. There are plentiful fine and casual breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurants, bars, and shops. On Wed there is a farmers market.
•Kiahuna Golf Club is literally Next Door.
• 3-minute drive door-to-door to Roy's Poipu Bar and Grill, The Beach House, or Starbucks.
•Walking distance to beaches (18 minutes to the closest beach) or just a 3-minute drive to Waiohai beach or 4-minute drive to Lawai Beach, both of which have ample and free parking.
•Sueoka's Grocery Store is a 6-minute drive.

Contact:

•I would prefer that my guests have complete privacy for a well-deserved rest.
•I would be more than happy to provide recommendations for Beaches, Restaurants, Local Foods, Golf, Sightseeing, and Car Rentals.

Cost-Related FYIs:
• HAWAII TAT number: TA-121-682-4320-01
•13.25% of your total bill is paid directly to the state of Hawaii and the county of Kauai as a transient accommodation tax, 4.712% is paid as a general excise tax, and an additional 3% as a county tax. So if your total bill is $1000, I will pay approximately $210 just in those taxes alone.
•For cleaning, I pay 450 not including supplies. Kauai is one of the most expensive cleaning locations and I am sure that I have the most meticulous cleaners on the island.

Covid Related FYIs:
•It is worth mentioning this is an isolated guest house. Nobody else has or needs access to the guest house or the laundry other than the cleaners. The closest building is ~50 feet away
• I have a smart lock requiring no keys. This allows you to do contactless check-in.
• My cleaning company uses updated Covid-19 cleaning procedures with disinfectants. Further, I believe I have the best cleaning company on the island.

A clean, peaceful, and relaxing place to stay
The guest house was a clean, peaceful, and relaxing place to stay in a quiet neighborhood. It was well equipped with everything we needed to cook our own meals. It was also just a short distance to many nearby restaurants and convenient for being able to drive to either end of the island. Paula was easy to communicate with and had helpful recommendations. We are so glad we chose to stay here!

Great suite in Poipu
Paula’s suite is comfortable and clean. We enjoyed having our meals on the small lanai and watching the distant sunset and stars at night. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Nice quiet neighborhood but still close to the beach and amenities. Paula was great at communicating and helpful.

Six stars 🌟
We loved the location of this cozy and spacious one bedroom with all the bells and whistles. It was 5 minutes from Poipu beach, in a quiet (except for the roosters!) residential neighborhood. Most of all we appreciated the communication with Paula, who offered much helpful information, and when the washing machine didn't work, gave us alternatives and even compensated us for the inconvenience. It was also great to have beach towels, chairs, and umbrella since we were at one beach or another often. Would give 6 stars if we could, and highly recommend. We'll be back!!

The Perfect Property for Us!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Paula, our host, communicated helpful tips with us prior to our arrival and responded quickly to all our inquires prior to and during our stay. We loved the location, the well equiped kitchen, comfy bed, and all amenities provided. Perfect for two people. We hope to return! Thank you for everything Paula!

Excellent!
Super clean. Well stocked. Close to shops and beach. I loved staying here. Owner was very communicative. The house has everything you need in a quiet neighborhood close to Poipu beach. The beach is glorious: green turtles, monk seals, great snorkeling.

About the host

Hosted by Paula

Host profile image
I enjoy organic cooking, reading, and trips to the beach. I grew up and attended college in Beijing. Before making Kauai my home, I worked and lived for over 10 years in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Australia.

Why they chose this property

The Poipu Beach Estates community believes that green open spaces is more important than development and density. As a result, you won't suffer through the typical space constraints of the hotel district in Poipu Beach. If you like your space, quite, and privacy, this is the cottage for you.

This custom built house has beautiful mountain and ocean views, and refreshing breezes day and night. It is also very close to the best beaches, restaurants grocery (Kukui'ula shopping center is just around the corner), sightseeing, with a golf course (The Kiahuna golf club) also literally next door.

The house is fully loaded with amenities and it is brand new (April 2014 construction completed), so you can be assured it is comfortable and relaxing. I have included all items necessary for cooking, washing, dining, and more importantly trips to the beach !

What makes this property unique

This is not a condo but a private cottage in an exclusive community.

It is brand new, quiet, clean, and provides Ocean views from the balcony and Mountain views from the kitchen.

It is close to the best beaches (Waiohai, Lawai beach and others), restaurants (Restaurants at Kukui'ula, The Beach House), Food (Da Crack,) Shopping (Kukui'ula next door), Golf (Kiahuna next door), Hiking (Waimea Canyon.)
