This is a beautiful unit and the view is the best I have seen in Poipu. You can tell that the owner takes a lot of pride in her condo. Things are meticulously maintained and beautifully decorated. We have stayed in many different units in the complex and this is our favorite. Everything was very clean and the owner was excellent at communicating with us. We will be back next year!
Exceptional property close to the ocean and several great restaurants. Very comfortable and the AC made the stay even more appealing. Many condos on Kauai rely on the trade winds with no AC, but not this one! Deb, our host, was a great resource to make our stay even more wonderful. We will be back and look forward to another memorable stay! Five stars!
Amazing place to stay!! The views from the lanai were the best, and the rainbows just wow! So close to poipu and Brennekes beach! The turtles and monk seals were so great to see. Also the location is so close to many restaurants that were all good! The place was immaculate and Deb was great! Her communication was great and very easy to ask questions and responded quickly ! Thank you for sharing your place with our family. Best vacation ever!
We loved staying at Deb's beautiful place. Clean and well stocked kitchen and home. I highly recommend.
This condo is in a great location with beautiful views. We were so thankful to have air conditioning during our stay as it was in the low 90’s. The beds are very comfortable and the property is well stocked for preparing meals though bring your own seasonings as there was just salt and pepper. This property is very clean which is important to me. The flights of stairs were difficult moving our luggage upon arrival and departure but manageable when not carrying heavy items. We were able to park right in front of the condo as very few cars were in the lot during our stay early September which made for a peaceful stay. The only thing I would change is using a keyless entry but that’s a pretty minor adjustment. Deb is a wonderful host who truly cares about the comfort of your stay with fantastic communication. Don’t hesitate to stay here!
We had a wonderful stay The condo was really close to Poipu Beach. We were able to walk down to the beach from the condo. It was just perfect. Everything was clean. It was very roomy and had all the amenities for playing at the beach and was conveniently located to restaurants and shops in Poipu. Our host was amazing. She communicated with us upon arrival and checked in with us to make sure everything was going good.
We had a wonderful family vacation staying at this condo. It has amazing views and is spacious and comfortable with everything we needed.
The condo was absolutely wonderful! Very clean and spacious and what an amazing view from the lanai! Our host Deborah was fabulous! She was so friendly, easy to communicate with and went above and beyond and more to make sure our stay was the best it could be! Will definitely recommend this place to family and friends and will stay here again if we ever return! Mahalo Deborah!
Amazing view & amazing host! Deb was great at communicating and has everything you’d need in the condo. It was so great to not have to worry about packing shampoo or body wash and to have plenty of toilet paper and towels. She had everything labeled and available should you need it! We are a family of 5 so our kids shared the queen and 1 had their own twin bed. The condo was spacious and it was such an amazing view and location. We even enjoyed a short dip in the condo pool after returning from the beach so we could cool off. The property grounds are lovely. I wish we could go back tomorrow!!
This condo is beautiful and walking distance to a very nice kid friendly Poipu Beach ! We enjoyed so much and we feel at home while staying there. Everything we need is provided by owner Deb. Have bath towels, boogie boards, beach umbrella, beach chairs, coffee, cooking oil, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, body soap,shampoo, and many more! The owner is very nice and have a very good communication. The condo is very clean ! I can't find a spot that i need to clean when we arrived. The beds are very comfortable and have a white clean beddings. The furnitures are also very nice. We enjoyed seating in the sofa and also the outdoor furnitures while watching sunset. We will definitely stay there again next time we visit Kauai ! Thank you Deb for letting us enjoy your condo !
This condo was perfect for our family of 4 and had a great location walking distance to Poipu beach with many restaurants and shops in the area. It is a very quite complex and was a good home base as we explored the island. Deborah communicated very well to ensure we had everything we needed.
This is the best VRBO property we have ever stayed at. I am a very picky person and I was 1000% happy with everything about the condo! Do not hesitate to book!
Highly recommend this place !! Spacious for a family of 4 adults. The place is stocked with all the living essentials. We enjoyed our breakfast and dinner on the patio with amazing ocean and Mountain Views. Prompt communication from the owner. Perfect vacation home for the family!!
For many years, my wife and I always planned on going to Kauai for our 40th wedding anniversary. We spent a lot of time researching what we thought would be the perfect place and when we saw the pictures on the VRBO site, we new this was exactly what we wanted. To our suprise, this place was even better in person. As soon as we walked in the front door we were both in awe of the view. Not only did the balcony overlook the ocean, there was also a panoramic views of the mountains. We also enjoyed many beautiful rainbows. This place had everything we needed and was beautifully furnished, well maintained and very clean. The host was also a pleasure to deal with.
Double lucky to have stayed in the perfect rental home in Kauai, the perfect vacation spot! Exactly as described, yet better. To live your dream vacay- stay here. (Referring to the condo, complex, owner/management, and location, views, access to island beauty & activities
Beautiful view in a great location!
My husband and I booked this almost a year ago and from the very start Deb was the best person to work with. You can tell she loves her condo and so did we!.From the moment we walked in the front door it was exactly as described and so clean. I can’t say enough good things we are coming back next year for another month and we can’t wait.
Always a wonderful stay - beautiful condo in a beautiful location !!
This was a beautiful property. It was sparkling clean and beautifully decorated. The balcony faced the ocean with the most amazing view and the sunsets were breathtaking. The AC units worked great and the kitchen was stocked. We were pleasantly surprised with the beach chairs, boogie boards and towels to use. Definitely recommend this place.
"WOW" was my first impression upon walking into this condo. As pictured, very well taken care of, perfect location, spotless, inviting, comfortable bed. Wonderful views from the lanai. What else can I say. I can go on and on. Deborah was amazing in getting back to me on my questions. She gave me great recommendations on where to eat and what to do while there. Highly recomend this condo. We will definitely come back.
We loved this property! Very clean, beautiful sunsets from the porch. We would love to come back again sometime!
This condo is truly paradise in Hawaii. The condo has everything you will need for a comfortable stay. The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms worked well for our family. The one thing we enjoy while on vacation is waking up and having our coffee on the lanai and this was the best we have experienced with great views of the ocean and mountains. We often ended our days eating dinner on the lanai watching amazing sunsets. It was very convenient to have beach chairs, an umbrella, and a cooler to bring to the beach. It was a very clean and updated condo. Deborah was wonderful to work with and was in touch throughout the whole process and answered all our questions. She really cares that you have a great vacation. The location was very convenient to explore the island and nice that it was a short walk to the beach. We can't wait to return!
We loved the place and hope to be back soon!
3rd story condo with a two sided balcony view. No one on the right side of you. Very quiet at night. Extremely clean and has all you need for a comfortable stay. Washer, Dryer and full kitchen. Deb even supplied the coffee! Coming back to this property every day was very relaxing and felt like home. Highly recommend this rental. Can't go wrong.
This was a fantastic property with a great ocean and sunset view and close proximity to the beach. Deb was a great and attentive host and went above and beyond for us! We would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Kauai looking for a slice of paradise!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this vacation rental. The location was awesome and we loved the views had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Definitely would consider staying here again.
Everything about our stay here was perfect: it has every amenity you could ever need (from beach gear, to comfy beds, to kitchen utensils, to AC!); it's conveniently located by all the hot spots on the south side of the island; and communication from the owner was amazing throughout. Best of all, the view from the balcony was unmatched! I wish we could sip coffee or mai tai's on it forever. We hope to return and cannot say enough good things about Deb and her home!
We arrived at sunset. Everyone’s mouth dropped at the amazing view. From the beginning Deb was very communicative. The place was updated and nicely furnished with very comfortable beds, as well as very organised. The place was a short walk to the beach where we saw monk seals, sea turtles, and dolphins. We will definitely rebook again, thank you for the amazing experience!
The villa was perfect for our stay in Kauai. The owner gave us lots of good advice and information prior to arrival. Everything was spotlessly clean and the view from the balcony was sensational. We especially enjoyed a drink in the evening watching the sunset. We hope to go back.
The Condo was perfect. It had everything that you needed and the view is amazing. The location is perfect also. Deborah checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed.I would definitely recommend staying at her condo. It was the best vacation ever.
Beautiful view of the ocean and mountains! Lovely place to visit. Just walking distance to the beach.
We had a fantastic time at the condo. Amazing views and it was very clean. We would definitely book again!
This was as our second time staying at this condo. The vicinity to the beach, restaurants and shopping makes it an ideal location. The property is quiet, the staff and other tenants are always friendly. The pool is great when you need a little time away from the sand and salt. My recommendation couldn't be any stronger! If you are looking for a great place to stay while exploring Kauai, you've found it. Being on the third level affords excellent views of the sunset, ocean and mountains. You will not be disappointed!
The owner is not lying when she says that this condo has wonderful views. Incredible, views we will never forget. From the minute we booked, the owner was communicative and so helpful. She helped make our trip what it was as she offered advice and made us feel welcome. This is a luxurious condo with everything you could need for a stay. We loved it and hope to return one day.
Beautiful, well appointed condo in Poipu, Kauai! Gorgeous view from the lanai overlooking the ocean and the mountains! We loved hearing the birdsong every morning on the lanai and the sunsets were gorgeous! The condo was lovely with everything we needed to be comfortable. Modern kitchen with beautiful counters and plenty of cookware and dishes. First class furnishings and
We had an excellent stay at Deb's home. I was a little nervous about renting a home as I've always stayed at a big resort when traveling but from the moment I booked she was wonderful with giving insight about the area and recommendations on restaurants close by for my picky kids or answering any question I may have. The place was extremely clean, welcoming and felt like home to us. And I can't get over the views, they were amazing! We had picture perfect views of the sunset every night and I loved being able to relax in the morning with my coffee while sitting on the lanai watching the ocean or looking off in the distance towards the mountains. We were in a great location with being a short walk to the beach where my daughter would help the volunteers count the sea turtles each night. During our stay Deb even checked in on us to make sure we didn't need anything and that everything was going well. She went well above and beyond and was an amazing host! I hope to return to Kauai in the future and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
Condo was immaculate with amazing views. Communication with Deb was great. Condo was well stocked - even had games and puzzles for the rainy days.
We had a wonderful stay here. The views are beautiful. Walking distance to the beach is a big plus. The property was clean, well organized and comfortable. And it was nice to be provided with beach chairs, boogie boards and beach toys.
No regrets at all about our choice of lodging. Homeowner was incredibly communicative throughout the process. Home was incredibly clean when we arrived and well stocked with needed items. Location was great - well landscaped condo complex within short walk to beach/restaurants, easy parking right outside the stairs leading to the condo. Lanai views were incredible - expansive ocean/mountain views. Would definitely consider returning on a future trip to Kauai.
This was the perfect property for our stay. The views are incredible! The home had everything we needed, including the air conditioning. It's in walking distance to Poipu Beach which we really enjoy. Excellent communications with the hostess. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay very much. We really appreciated all of the conveniences and comfort!
Our stay in this condo was great. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Great views from the lani for whale watching and the sunset. The owner was exceptional in her communication with us. Will stay here again!
You can’t beat the views! We watched whales breach in the morning and had the most amazing sunsets. The condo is a nice 5-10 min walk to a boogie board beach, playground, family friendly beach, snorkeling, turtle watching, and Brenneckes restaurant. The pool was great as well. Costco and Target are on the way from the airport so it’s easy to get necessities at the same price as the mainland. Deb is a GEM. Quick communication, great recommendations. Our Alaska flight got changed last minute and she was able to accommodate a late check out. We will be back!
Thank you so much for letting us stay at your condo! We had an amazing time and your place was beautiful and clean and greatly appreciated all the amenities! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you again!!!
The property was exactly as advertised; it was clean, situated well and had a wonderful view. I would have no reservations about booking a future stay at Deborah’s place in Koloa again.
Views were beautiful. Quiet location. Really close to the beach.
