Updated Poipu Home: Large Deck w/ Scenic View

Beautiful home in a super accessible area. It came fully as described. We enjoyed the easy beach access… turtle count one day was up to 30!!!Eddie who owns the home and serves as property manager was very responsive. When we arrived, the 4-year old fridge would not cool. Turns out this namebrand model (which I could have easily owned in my own home), has been known to have motherboards that break between 3-5 years. As you can imagine, appliance repairmen and parts on Kauai are hard to come by. Eddie fixed the problem by buying an entire new fridge and worked with us to coordinate the delivery in a way that would not bother us. His commitment to delivering a great guest experience is appreciated. We hope we’ll be fortunate enough to return some day.

This condo is absolutely beautiful, and the hosts are so lovely and welcoming. The large living area and deck gave our group of 6 plenty of space to relax in between beach trips and adventures. Highly recommend!

We feel so grateful that we got to stay at this house in Poipu. The owners were really friendly, communicative and accommodating while still giving us space to relax in such a beautiful place. The view from the lanai is AMAZING and we had so many lovely patio dinners while we were there. With both AC and fans throughout the unit, we were super comfortable at all times. Also great to have a washer on hand! We were a short walk from multiple beaches. Will definitely stay here again !

Compfortable, well appointed place

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.

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.

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%!

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!

Outstanding location, easy walk to two beaches. House has awesome great room, kitchen and deck with view. Was perfect for our family of six.

The home was beautiful and clean. The owner was onsite but he made sure we were comfortable and we made new friends.

We stayed at Eddie and Marlene’s place the second half of January 2023. The place is clean, comfortable and had everything that we needed. It is very spacious generally, and has plenty of seating to relax. We had three adult couples. Two bedrooms each have their own air conditioner and control. The third bedroom has two twin beds, and does not have its own air conditioner but has a ceiling fan. That one is just off the kitchen and did stay cool at night from the main house AC. It has a great large deck oriented toward the water. There are other houses, but you can see and hear the ocean from the deck. We used the gas grill each day; it was great. The greatest thing for us was the location which is easy walking distance to Brennecke (0.3 mi) Poipu (0.5 mi), Kiahuna (0.8mi) and Shipwreck Beaches (0.8 mi). Makahueana Light is 0.3 mi. We could walk to several restaurants. Every morning I got up, walked over and said “good morning” to the turtles on Poipu Beach. We could see whales spouting far out in the water from the Makahuena light at sunset. We would not hesitate to stay at this location again if we end up back on Kauai.

We had an amazing stay here and would highly recommend it! The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we need to cook all our meals. It was nice to open all the windows and sliders to enjoy the nice Hawaiian breeze, but if that's not your style the AC works great too. You can't beat walking less than 5 min to the beach to hang with sea turtles. What makes the place really shine though are the huge deck with gorgeous sunset views, and the kind and welcoming hosts. Eddie, we are so glad you “attempted to engage with us”! 😉 2 star reviews are sometimes left by 2 star people if you know what I mean. We loved it and promise you won't regret booking here!
