• I wouldn’t go back.

  1/5

  The hosts were fine. We found out very quickly though that their office/ utility room for all their units is apart of the “floor” that is advertised of which we stayed . I know it’s called that because the host/ owner was in it when I came back to the house one morning. He had told me that’s what it was and that he used it as an office too. This room is in between our bathroom and the room with the twin beds. The walls are paper thin and we could hear them and they could hear us whether we were in the bathroom etc. if that wasn’t bad enough , they had accessed this living space from that room without our permission . This utility/ office room has an outside door and an inside door directly into our living space. It can only be locked and unlocked from the inside of that room. They had accessed our living space without our knowledge several times as we had put very strong tape on the door at the top and bottom and it had come off from where the door opens. I’m certain about this too because they also opened the door when we were there with the tape on which came off again. They had opened it quite early one morning and then later they were knocking on the door. We didn’t know where it was coming from and then we discovered trash bags hanging on the inside of the door with a roll of paper towels on the floor. That’s nice and all, but again, accessed without our permission. The male host was always around. A huge disappointment! staying there.

• Amazing place to stay in poipu

  5/5

  In a sea of bland corporately owned or managed VRBOs, this place is an oasis. It is owned by the most kind locals who took us under their wing. The space is stunning, great big kitchen, awesome deck to watch the sunset and a short beautiful walk to the beach. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Don’t miss this place.

• Epic Place with Incredible View

  5/5

  We loved it here! The view took our breath away and the place had literally everything we needed - chairs and snorkels and beach towels and a fully equipped kitchen (we cooked every day and it had everything, including a grill! And nice cooking gear/appliances too - an ode to a sharp knife!).

  It was a short walk down the hill to the beach and the sea turtles were surfing in the waves every time we walked down. My parents are a little older and less mobile so we chose this for the view vs being right on the beach and it did not disappoint! And it was a five minute walk to amazing snorkeling and body surfing.

  The main living/dining area was huge! So spacious and pleasant to relax in. We had 9 people total for a dinner several nights and there was tons of space.

  The hosts and neighbors were so kind and fun - we felt like part of the community! We had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t. Everything worked perfectly - stove, bbq, fridge, shower, etc. Real attention to detail. Would return 100%!

• Beautiful Stay

  5/5

  This was such a perfect location for our first family trip to Kauai! We had a wonderful stay, and the sunset views from the deck were to die for. It was absolutely perfect for our family of 6 to stay and the hosts were so welcoming. We are already dreaming of returning to Poipu and would love to stay in this location again. Mahalo!
