About this property

Fall special for months of October & November. See calendar

Aloha! Come bring your ohana (family) and friends to sit on our beautiful wrap around patio at our beautiful Pu'uhonua (place of refuge) with breathtaking tropical views. The great room and kitchen are the heart of Pu'uhonua located on the 2nd floor featuring wrap around windows making it feel like you are experiencing the outside from within. This arrangement allows guests the option of making meals at home while still enjoying every part of Kauai's beauty. The amazingly grand lanai allows for outdoor dining under the stars providing a large gathering area, but Pu'uhonua also offers the privacy of three bedrooms (1 upstairs and 2 downstairs) each having their own complete bathroom and private tranquil lanai. Each room has its own ceiling fan for additional comfort with the cool tropical trade wind breeze. For those of you who need to stay in touch with the real world we offer free wireless internet service.

When you are on vacation it is all about location and our open air Pu'uhonua home sits in the lushly landscaped 70 acre Poipu Kai Resort conveniently located between Shipwrecks Beach and Poipu
Beach. Poipu Beach has been rated as one of the top ten beaches in North America featuring a peaceful 'baby beach' for keiki (child) to play in the sun, while still staying cool. If you are interested in snorkeling, then Poipu beach can offer you a variable paradise of beautiful and exotic tropical fish. If you are more of a boogie boarding thrill seeker then Shipwrecks Beach is the place for you with some of the best surf on the island. The best part about all of this is that these beaches are simply a 15 minute walk on the green belt of Poipu Kai and we will provide everything you will need to enjoy a day at the beach including snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrellas, coolers, beach chairs, mats, and beach towels!!!

If you need a break from the beach, this rental is also apart of the Poipu Kai Resort Complex allowing access to numerous amenities including resort pool, jacuzzi, and multiple tennis courts. If you are interested in taking a swing at Kauai's most prestigious golf courses than you need to look no further than Poipu. Our rental is down the road to the Poipu Bay Golf course, which is home to the illustrious PGA Grand Slam.

Historic Koloa Town, Poipu Shopping Center, and Kukui'ula Village Shopping Center are about 3 miles away from the rental offering a mixture of amazing restaurants (Keoki's and Roy's are amazing), unique shops, and convenient grocery stores. Poipu is ideally located on the sunny south side of the island with equal traveling distance between the lushly vibrant North Shore and the scenic 'West Side' with it's breathtaking Waimea Canyon (The Grand Canyon of the Pacific) and the spectacular shear cliffs of the Na Pali Coast all seen from Koke'e State Park.

Having all of this adds up to a restful and invigorating stay on this beautiful Garden island of Kauai! E komo mai (come and enjoy)!!

Fabulous Family stay for ages 15-80

We hope to return. It is a magical home.Perfect location, property & amenities. Excellent communication with the host. I had trouble with the key to the pool gate, so we weren’t able to see the pool/hot tub after a walk, but we preferred the beaches. I’m curious if other times of the year are hotter, because my mother-in-law took some time to get used to the fact that like most homes in Hawaii, they don’t have full house AC, but have excellent ocean breezes,

Great Home For Large Group

We were a group of scuba divers who need lots of space to rinse, hang and dry our scuba gear. The house was wonderful for this purpose. In particular, there is a large deck area for drying equipment. This is an older home, yet was very clean and well equiped for our group. We did not have any issues during our stay so interaction with the property manager was limited. We were grateful to be allowed access to the garage which is where the washer / dryer are located. Beds and bedrooms were comfortable, AC and fans were very effective. We would definately stay at this home again.

The best vacation ever!

Our time at this house was so so amazing! I have three kids ages 12,14,24 this house was so perfect for us literally could not have been better! Each of us had so much privacy we all were able to feel so at home! My oldest had the room with the queen bed and he was surprised the first use of the bathroom with a spray in the face we all died laughing there is a bidet so be warned but we all had a good laugh! We loved the location we would all walk barefoot to the beach at sunset to literally swim with the sea turtles. While we watched the sunset! Our time was so magical and I don’t think it could have been better!

Wonderful stay in Poipu

Great house just off the greenbelt that connects Poipu Kai to the Grand Hyatt. The location is excellent. The house was very comfortable for our group of 4 adults and 2 children. The house is very well stocked with beach supplies (towels, chairs, mats, boogie boards, wagon, snorkles, flippers) which allowed to enjoy days at the many nearby beaches. The rental provides access to the large swimming pool near Kalapaki Joe's. There is also a tennis centre which can be used for a modest fee and has numerous courts for tennis and pickle ball. The host was extremely accommodating and allowed us to have a late check-out which was very much appreciated as we had a late flight home. Overall a great property in an amazing location.

Absolute gem

Everything you could ever need to feel at home and HAPPY. Perfect location, wonderful spaces in and outdoors. Seriously, this place is stocked with all the things you’d want from umbrellas, chairs, snorkel gear, to high chairs, and I’d bet they’d even include a Christmas tree. Thanks again for another wonderful stay.

Beautiful beach house

This house felt like our home! A great place to start off our day with a big hearty breakfast, and be able to come home at the end of our day exploring the island and make a delicious dinner in a short amount of time. The amenities were great and we had everything we needed - well stocked kitchen tools and dishes/cookware for cooking. Comfortable living and sleeping areas. Great location with a short walk to multiple beaches in the area. Enjoyed the use of the pool and hot tub not too far walking distance away.

About the host

Hosted by Hedy Downing

Host profile image
My wife and I are both from the Mid-West who fell in love with the island while stationed as a military family. We lived on this beautiful island for over 18 years after I retired from the military and raised two of our four children here. Only the lure of our kids and grandchildren has pulled us back to the mainland

Why they chose this property

After living on this island for approximately 20 years we invite you to come and experience the gentle trade winds, the tranquil beaches and the majestic mountains of this magical island. We invite you and yours to come and fill this house with your own fond memories and incredible experiences.
