A nice place to stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Only suggestion I could make is that you provide a little booklet that answers frequently ask questions, such as how to operate the heating and air conditioning units, local places to find groceries, a directory of where to find churches, Suggestions on how to use the TV and streaming service, etc.

Wonderful and perfect!

The condo was a perfect home away from home! The condo is well appointed and has everything anyone would need to have an enjoyable experience. The entire process from reserving to checking out was very seamless. The condo is very clean which was greatly appreciated. Jenny is fabulous to communicate with. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to get back to Kauai soon!

A Patch of Paradise

Everything was really wonderful and had all the comforts of home. For example: to have the washer/dryer and soap provided was very helpful with all the outdoor activities we did. The condo was very clean and organized and had lovely decor that made us feel in the Aloha spirit. Loved the lanai and we used it often. We appreciated the communication with Jenny for any questions we had. It was a lovely experience and I'm glad we chose to stay at this condo!

Perfect location in Poipu

My two teenage sons and I had a wonderful trip to Kauai. The condominium was in a perfect location. Easy walk to Brennecke’s beach where we swam and body surfed with sea turtles most evening. We walked to Poipu beach where we found pretty good snorkeling, and saw more sea turtles and a monk seal. It is conveniently located to reach Nāpali coast boat tours, Waimea canyon and Kokee state park. It was very clean and had all we needed. Appreciated the air conditioning units in each bedroom, and kitchen. Loved the full sized washer and dryer. Relaxing and quiet to sit on the lanai anytime of day. Would easily recommend this place to anyone.

The place was great. We spent lots of time sitting on the lanai watching birds and drinking coffee. So much space inside! Well stocked kitchen. Easy check out. Google maps doesn't get you right to the right spot, but the directions in the info sent ahead of time were spot on. Thanks!

Comfortable condo in a quiet garden-like setting

Peaceful and quiet. Good kitchen to work in. Nice lanai off kitchen and living area to have coffee on every morning. Location in crater was fun, and kept us out of congestion even though we were close to all that is Poipu. Nicer selection of guest amenities than usual. Chenni was good to communicator.

Relaxing vacation.

The condo was very clean, and comfortable. The lush landscape was beautiful, with birds entertaining us any time we were on the lanai. The location is convenient to everything in the Poipu area, but very private - especially sitting out on the lanai!

Poipu Crater

Condo was clean and beds were comfortable. Nice place. Not far from snorkeling at poipu beach park. My only suggestion is to provide a larger trash can and more trash bags. The little one in the kitchen filled up fast for our group of four people.

Christmas stay

Homes was clean on arrival. Well stocked with everything you would ever need. Location is good. Very close to beach but you do have to walk down (and back up) a pretty decent hill. This is not usually an issue until you want to take chairs, beach toys, umbrella etc etc etc with you and then it can be just as easy to drive. Lots of room. Layout is a little quirky but fine overall. Porch was nice and we had a red crested cardinal visit us daily. Pool was fine but we didn’t spend a lot of time there. Area quiet. Our only complaint is I’m not personally a fan of the windows they use cause they don’t really close. I know this is an island thing and not really the fault of the owner but the part I don’t like is that it will sometimes make the inside feel moist and allow you to hear so much more from outside than you want to. People walking, cars, mowing etc. The downstairs bedroom and bath smelled mildewed on some days. Our daughter even noticed it. I am not sure if that was a result of the window situation. I seen NO wet or mold areas inside the home (we looked all over to make sure something wasn’t leaking etc). I would stay here again as outside the occasional mildew smell it was a lovely place.

Nice condo in great location

This was a great condo in a perfect location for our family. Condo is nice inside with modern appliances and TVs. Enjoyed sitting outside in the well sheltered lanai among the trees, birds, and rain showers. The mature landscaping and privacy in the crater were the perfect setting for relaxing. Easy walk to the beaches via roads or trails. Appreciated the beach towels. Good layout for air flow with open windows and fans. Didn't use the AC but I'm sure it would be nice during warmer times. Would definitely stay here again.

We've practically lived our whole 9 days on the beautiful lanai in this Poipu Crater home. More room than we needed this home is equipped with great appliances, plenty of towels and Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas. Beds were comfortable. Only thing lacking was a kettle (we drink a lot of tea - used a pan). Thank you. We'll be back!

Why they chose this property

I started traveling to Kauai over 10 years ago,; just about every year my husband and I returned, always to Poipu Crater. It calls to us. The south shore is a tad sunnier, a little less crowded, the beaches are beautiful with easy access, and convenient for hiking, shopping and going out. Poipu Crater in particular - the bird songs are mesmerizing, the plumeria-scented air intoxicating. Small clutch of villas, each one spaced out from the others, are enveloped in lush tropical plantings overlooking a spacious central garden. So intimate, the place makes us feel like we’re the only ones let in on this secret! I’m grateful for the opportunity to own a little piece of paradise, and excited to welcome fellow travelers to explore the beauty of the island!
