Guest Access:

You will receive a link to an online guest book when it gets close to your arrival date. You will receive the link by email and text. The home has an electronic lock at the bottom level where the cars are parked. A code will be generated into your guest book just before your arrival day.

The Neighborhood:

Hoone Rd, fronting Poipu Beach Park and Brenneckes Beach, turns into Pee Rd. This winding street is a popular place to watch the sunset on the wall fronting Nihi Kai or to walk one way and return to the Poipu Kai Greenbelt.

Getting Around:

When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.

Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.

Other Things to Note:

Check-In/Check-Out

Check-in: 4 pm 

Check out: 11 am

Reservations & Deposits: 

All reservations require a 25% payment to hold chosen dates. 

• 45 days prior to arrival, the remaining balance is due in full

Cancellation Policy: 

• Reservations canceled 30 days or more prior to arrival date are 100% refundable.   

Pests:

Kauai is in a climate that is considered to be both tropical and within a rainforest category, known for its lush flora and fauna.  The environmental factors create a situation where pests (insects) are nearly impossible to eradicate from every property constantly.  Many bugs fly in when a door is open at night or are simply small enough to come in through screens on windows and sliding doors.  For this reason, Koloa Kai engages regular quarterly pest control in every property to keep the pests at bay.  Despite these efforts, it is possible to have pests in your property, and if that happens, Koloa Kai will take all measures possible as quickly as possible to mitigate any issues.  Any monetary compensation, refunds or discounts will be given solely at the discretion of Koloa Kai and will only be available in situations where the company agrees that an infestation has occurred.  Koloa Kai reserves the right to investigate and provide remediation of any pest issue. The mere presence of pests in the property shall not constitute grounds for monetary compensation.

30-Day Maximum Rentals:

Koloa Kai LLC provides only short-term rentals with a maximum reservation of 30 days.  Each reservation is fully documented and provides for a fixed date and time for check-in and check-out, rental rates, associated fees, and all other requirements required by local and state law.  If a guest books consecutive reservations where the check-out and check-in dates are concurrent, then a cleaning fee will be assessed, and a Koloa Kai designated cleaning professional/inspector will have unrestricted access to the property for the purposes of cleaning and inspection of the property.  During the time between reservations, described by the check-out time and check-in time specifically, the guests shall vacate the property so that the designated cleaning professional/inspector can conduct a full reservation clean and inspection in accordance with Koloa Kai’s standard practice.  Guest access to the property shall be restricted specifically to the date/times of the reservation documentation and may not be extended upon verbal or text message confirmation.  

Hawaii Laws require that GET (4.712%), Kauai TAT (3.0%) and TAT (11%) taxes apply to the cleaning fee.

Great place to stay! Photos are accurate, with beautiful views of the ocean from living room, bedroom, and balcony. Short walk to a few great beaches with turtles and monk seals. So nice to have facilities to cook and wash clothes also. Mahalo!

Super cute and clean! We stayed for 6 nights and enjoyed every moment. The beds were comfy and large. There was a cute little welcome basket that greeted us. It was filled with coffee and hawaiian treats. Instructions from the owners were detailed and easy to follow. We appreciated being able to wash our laundry. There was air conditioners in each room. We set them to 72 when inside (as instructed) and that was plenty enough to keep comfortable. The house was prepared with all of the necessities. There were dishes, pans, silverware, towels, hand soap, dish soap, and even a blender! We used the snorkeling fins and left 4 sets of snorkeling goggles/masks behind for the next people. We recommend you use them :). The walk to the beach is short and Lava arch is nearby. Beautiful location, couldn't ask for more.

Really close to the Poipu beach so you can see the sea turtles easily. The property is very well maintained . There’s a great view of the ocean from the living room. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thanks for hosting.

Everything was as expected for a small family rental (4-5 people). The beds were very comfortable. The free laundry was a big help. We appreciated the beach equipment and the easy beach access. It was EVERYTHING we needed for fun at the beach which was a 5-10min walk. Location was also convenient for Waimea Canyon and Koala Ziplines.

My boyfriend and I had the best time in Popui! The place is just a short walk or drive to the beach and near some amazing restaurants. When we arrived to the property there were cookies & chocolates set out as I was celebrating my birthday over our stay. Owners could not have been more welcoming or accommodating! Will definitely be back.
