Kauai Bay House, Ocean Front, AC

Everything was what we expected and more! The views are amazing!

Fantastic views, many amenities, loved being so close to the beach.

We couldn’t find a better place to stay! Beautiful location, great character, more amenities than we could’ve ever needed!

The home is beautiful and well stocked. Location is prrfect, close to shopping and restaurants. We snorkeled and went swimming in the bay. House was well stocked with beach chairs and boogie boards. The family had a wonderful time .

Fantastic house and location! Property manager always responded immediately! Close enough to Poipu but far enough away from the crowds! Plenty of family memories were made. We will definitely be back!

The house is positioned perfectly for our family. We fell in love the moment we entered the spacious property and bright open rooms. The convenience of Poipu and the use of the athletic club was priceless. Our adult kids went to the club to work out, we all enjoyed snorkeling at the beach house, and Koloa landing, and surfing at pekala. A perfect stay from start to finish!

Great location and management very nice to work with

Very happy. Plan to stay again.

We loved this house and we'll be back!

We love coming to Kauai and this was our first time renting a home on the island. We loved this place - right on the water with really great views of a beautiful golf course out one side and the entire back of the home facing the ocean. It was a great size home for our family of 6. We love to come back and watch movies every night after the days activities and the large family room and big TV were great. We also love to run and the road to and from the house was great for running, right on the ocean. Overall great home, easy check-in and check-out, and great communication from the host.

Great location within a very short walk to a great beach. The property manager was very responsive to our requests. House was well equipped with all the necessary beach equipment. We would definitely stay there again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The photos were accurate. The location was great - we went snorkeling a couple time in the harbor and walked down to the botanical gardens. The decor, books, games, all the little details made the house very comfortable and special-feeling. Watching the sunset from the deck was a perfect way to spend an evening!

Lovely home with beautiful view in a great location! Easily accommodated 6 people over 3 generations. *Nicely stocked with all the amenities - Kitchen: appliances, utensils, dishes, bakeware, spices; Beach: toys, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels, outdoor shower; Bathroom towels, basic sundries, hairdryer, etc. *Location is amazing. Short walk to bay/beach, spouting horn, botanical gardens. Far enough out of town you avoid a lot of people & noise but still just a short drive to great shops & restaurants.*Check in/out is a breeze. Keyless entry. PM is communicative and responds timely. Things to consider/useful to know.*Main A/C works great. BR A/C's do not blow cold (even after we cleaned the filters) which means sleeping with the windows open until replaced. Loft has several fans which helps a lot as it is significantly warmer. *Roosters are many & crow all times of the day. Oceanfront BR has the luxury of the ocean waves to drown out the noise but those in the 2nd BR & loft are subject to incessant crowing which can make sleep a challenge (despite earplugs). *The dock across the bay is a popular fishing spot which often continues well after dark - voices & music carry. Those in the oceanside BR may find this disruptive. *The dock light across the bay is bright and shines right toward the house. Generally not an issue unless you are sleeping in the loft. With no window coverings, it provides a lot of illumination & may be disruptive to some (not for us).

Every single detail of this fantastic home exceeded expectations, where to begin:Location, location, location - when have you ever stayed somewhere where a giant turtle lay in plain sight of the hammock you're lying in?Hosts could not have communicated betterFantastic parking for our giant rental SUVSuper cleanWell-stocked with cotton sheets and towelsShaded and comfortable outdoor patio with round tableEndearing chicken family who ran around the back yard, materializing around dinner timeAnd did I mention location, location, location?

Kaua’i bay house exceeded expectations in every way. The location was perfect. The house sits away from the congested resort areas, but still well within easy access to restaurants, shops, beaches, etc., which are all just down the road. There is also a quiet beach and park right next door. The house itself was perfect for our needs. The pace is very nice and well maintained, yet still cozy and comfortable - exactly what a beach house should be. The kitchen was fully equipped, there were ample linens, and even had beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, etc., -all of which were in good condition. The property is positioned directly on the waterfront, with a comfortable breeze 24/hr/day - we never once needed the air conditioner. The Koloa Kai team did an exceptional job of communicating with us and making everything as convenient as can be. We were even greeted with a welcome basket, seeing as we were there celebrating our wedding anniversary. We will definitely look to stay here again, the next time we are in Kauai.

We wished we would have known about the harbor lights and lack of window treatments in the main rooms as it would have influenced our lodging decision in the poipu area. There was a lack of privacy definitely at night time. Otherwise the house had ample space for four adults, nice views, and a good location. The local beach was great for a quick ocean dip.

The house is beautiful and the views were breath taking! The kitchen was very well stocked with spices which was very much appreciated. The ice machine did not work which would not have been an issue if the island wasn’t having an ice shortage. The location was perfect and we all had a wonderful time! We all Would highly recommend this property!

Had a great stay would highly recommend

This home is beautiful, homey, has beach vibes and sits practically on the water. Hearing the waves crash during the night, is the best for relaxing sleep. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need. The location is great. Close to so many great places to visit. We just loved it.

Our whole experience was amazing from the communication, amenities, location, and views! This was my 5th time to visit Kauai, and it's always a new adventure each time I go with so much to do, beautiful climate - you name it! This was my daughters first time to visit, and this home was perfect for my family of 5. We will be back again for sure!

We picked this place to stay at since we were getting married and having our honeymoon at the same time. The house was amazing, and when we walked in for the first time they had a bottle of champagne and chocolates with a card congratulating us. We appreciated that so much and were thankful for that gesture. We loved leaving the sliding glass door open in our room at night for the air coming in and the sounds of waves hitting the rocks. The best part of the place to us was the hammock!!! We layed on it all the time and just enjoyed the weather and ocean view from it. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the first half of our honeymoon. We will definitely be staying there again when we come back.

Great light and connection to the ocean throughout this terrific beach house.

Super nice. Beach next door was awesome. Great location to many things. Thank you. Communication was very good

We liked this house and the location is very convenient. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai watching the boats and activity in the bay. The house really had everything we needed, included a well stocked ktichen. The property management company was very responsive before and during our stay.

Snorkel in small bay in front of home. Family loved it

Our stay combined stunning views and a perfect location with several drawbacks. The property's prime location and beautiful outdoor spaces, like the lanai and hammock, were highlights. However, challenges abounded. Cramped indoor spaces made comfort difficult. Upon arrival, a disturbing late-night incident involving a local burning bushes next to the house required police intervention and set a negative tone. The nearby pier was a persistent source of nighttime noise from gatherings, loud music, and fireworks, disrupting our peace and forcing us to shut windows to block out light and sound, which detracted from the natural beauty. The open loft design and awfully creaky floors meant noise traveled easily, affecting sleep if anyone moved. In summary, while the location and scenery were positive, issues with space, noise, and privacy marred our experience, making it less peaceful and comfortable than anticipated.
