About this property

Kahele Kai - Ocean views, steps to Poipu's best beaches, A/C throughout!

Kahele Kai, a three bedroom, three bath two story beach home close to Poipu Beach and Brennecke’s Beach. If you are looking for an outstanding vacation rental in Poipu Beach with newly installed, wall mounted Fujitsu A/C in both living areas and all bedrooms, Kahele Kai is an excellent choice.

This beautiful home boasts an expansive floor plan designed to provide you with the utmost comfort and convenience during your stay.

On the upper level, you'll discover a grand master bedroom suite complete with a king and twin bed and luxurious jacuzzi tub for your relaxation. Additionally, there's a second bedroom with a king bed and your own bathroom for added convenience. The ocean-view kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee maker, toaster, blender, and all the essentials needed to prepare delicious home-cooked meals right in the unit. The modern living and dining area provide a stylish and comfortable space to unwind, while the covered lanai offers a perfect setting for barbecuing and savoring breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.

Descending to the entry level, you'll find a cozy family room with a plush couch, ideal for enjoying your favorite shows on the generously sized TV. A mini kitchen and another bathroom are available on this level, along with a third bedroom with two queen beds. In total, our vacation rental accommodates up to nine guests, making it perfect for families or groups.

From the central, upstairs living area and the spacious covered lanai, you'll be treated to enchanting white water ocean views and the gentle sway of tropical palm trees. Kahele Kai's location affords stunning vistas of both Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach. Brennecke’s Beach is a mere 75 yards away, offering some of the best bodyboarding opportunities on the island. Poipu Beach, just a short distance away, offers a diverse range of activities, from a baby beach and snorkeling to swimming in Waiohai Bay and renowned surf spots.

After a day of beachside adventures, you can easily stroll to nearby casual and fine dining establishments in the area, ensuring that every aspect of your Kauai getaway is both memorable and convenient.

This stunning two-story home boasts high ceilings, filling every room with natural light. Each window offers breathtaking views, whether it's the majestic ocean, lush groves of vibrant mangos and bananas, or the meticulously maintained hedges. There is a lava rock garden surrounding the outside shower and a garden of citrus and banana trees. Décor includes the surfboard the owner was using when he proposed to his wife at the beach over 30 years ago. Kahele Kai (translation "pathway to the ocean") is stocked with beach toys and a variety of baby gear including porta crib, baby gates and a baby seat that attaches to the dining chair.

This home is REALLY close to Poipu and Brennecke's Beach, both can be seen from the home, and both are ideal versatile beaches which include surf spots, a baby beach, snorkeling, boogie boarding, swimming at Waiohai Bay and sunning on the golden sand. There are lovely whitewater views of the ocean and tropical swaying palms visible from the central living area and large lanai and the sunsets are not to be missed.

Great location!

It was a short walk to some very nice beaches. We slept 7 people in the house very comfortably and had everything we needed at the house. We appreciated the beach chairs and the kids loved the boogie boards. The view of the water was very limited. Everyone enjoyed our stay very much.

Amazing place to stay

This was one of our first attempts at a family vacation home instead of a hotel. This house really worked well for our family of 8. It was clean, tidy, and just perfect for our needs. It’s a block away from the beach so it was quiet. But with a short walk we were staring at the ocean and some of the best beaches on the island. Thanks for sharing the house so we could create such awesome memories! Highly recommend because we could hang out and share stories at the end of the day in the family room and eat a bowl of cereal whenever I wanted…:)

Beautiful home in the perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is exactly what we needed. Ocean view from the large patio, and close enough to hear the crashing waves. The house is spacious and clean and had everything we needed. Poipu365 was very responsive to texts. The only caution which is out of the hands of the owner are the middle of the night and early morning crows of the many roosters which are everywhere on the island.

Poipu Treasure

Our family stay was outstanding! We have been to Poipu as a couple many times renting condos. This time we brought the whole family and had a party of 10. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This house is in a great location allowing us to walk to the beach and not have to pack up vehicles for our beach days. The house was well stocked with everything a family may need for an extended stay. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Beautiful home - 9 of us comfortable for 7 nights

The house had all the amenities and proximity that you’d have a great poipu vacation. brennekke and Poipu beaches were essentially our back yards and we’re able to easily get out and enjoy the sunset while the kids played at the beach and enjoyed a shave ice. We were three families, one with two kids, one with one child and then the grandparents. The house was big enough that we were all comfortable. Thank you!
