Incredible property within a 1-2 minute walk of Poipu Beach. The house itself is beautiful, well stocked with beach equipment (chairs, snorkling gear, etc.) and very comfortable. Would 100% book again. Thank you to our hosts!

The house is absolutely beautiful and the host was wonderful. The attention to detail in both the decor and furnishings are amazing. They've thought of everything you might possibly need and then some! We were there during the hurricane (it struck our first night) and the subsequent 3 day power outage. We had flashlights and fortunately, freezer packs, which kept our food cold during the power outage. Kevin (our host) was wonderful, calling and texting frequently to check on us, and even offered us to stay as long as needed if we couldn't get off the island (which we had to do for one extra night). Thank goodness we stayed where we did and had Kevin and Cathy for our hosts! We cannot express how much we appreciate them. And on top of that they refunded us for our entire stay! Wonderful people, wonderful home. We will definitely stay there again.

We loved our stay at the cottage. Very clean. Nicely decorated with very comfortable furniture. It was perfect for the 4 of us. Great having AC in both bedrooms it made sleeping very comfortable as it was warm and humid. Location was great with a short walk to the beach. Great having beach chairs and snorkeling gear. We very much enjoyed our stay here and would definitely come back.The only confusing thing was on the VRBO website it said check in was at 4:00 so we waited until 4 and when we went in the house the signs said check in was at 3:00.It would be helpful to know which one was correct as we would have loved to check in sooner. Thank you

We had two couples and enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The cottage was clean upon arrival and ready to enjoy. The outside lanais and upstairs screen porch are the best we experienced over previous Kauai visits in various condos and cottages. Location is excellent with easy access to all Poipu has to offer on the south shore. Plenty of chickens & charm. Thanks to the hosts for a memorable stay.

This place is a gem. We loved that it was well stocked with everything you need to go to the beach (wagon, toys, towels, chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella), and is a short 3-5 min walk from Poipu beach. We also enjoyed sitting on the lanai every night and our children loved to watch the roosters. The kitchen is also very well stocked with everything you need. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Cathy Stange

Host profile image

We live in Alaska and have been vacationing in Hawaii for 30 years. We realized early on that Kauai was the ideal place for us to come and enjoy the sun and ocean… and Poipu quickly became our family's favorite spot. After owning a condo here for many years we finally were able to find a piece of property close to the beach to build our dream family getaway-retirement home.

Why they chose this property

This location is steps away from Poipu Beach .where our kids and grand children can have a great time together.

What makes this property unique

We were fortunate to find a builder that could build in details that give the feel of an old Hawaiian Plantation Cottage> our lot is on a quiet dead end street and set back form the road. The property overlooks a Sacred Hawaiian Village and is very secluded feeling but still with views of the sunset.
