Rental Details

Property Overview

If you are looking for a beautiful, spacious, incredibly clean, affordable condo with fantastic amenities located right in the heart of Poipu….you've come to the right place!!  Pakele Kahakai or "Beach Escape" is what our family calls our dream Kauai home.  This condo puts you in easy walking distance to world famous beaches, and a very short drive to fantastic shopping, restaurants, golfing, and many other popular attractions!  Take a quick stroll just outside the condo on the “Greenbelt Walkway” and you will arrive at Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach in about five minutes, or head the other direction and you can walk to the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Shipwreck Beach in under ten minutes.  You could not ask for a more central location in the middle of the action! Poipu Beach has been voted "Best Beach in America" by the Travel Channel and it is not hard to see why.  Poipu Beach has a section of calm waters perfect for families with young children, but is also great for snorkeling, swimming, boogie boarding, and surfing.  There is a huge lawn area with shade trees, picnic tables, kids play-area, restrooms, showers, and some food options. One of the most special parts of Poipu Beach are the sea turtles that you will see every single day. Don't miss walking to the beach at sunset to see the parade of turtles coming ashore to rest for the evening at this magical beach!
With 1329 sq/ft of space, two large bedrooms, two updated bathrooms, and three separate outdoor lanai’s, this beautiful condo not only gives you plenty of room for your group, but you truly feel like you are at home.  You will be hard-pressed to find a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo anywhere in Kauai that has this much space! There is an open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining room which is great for entertaining or relaxing.  The front lanai looks out to lush tropical green surroundings with mountain views, and each bedroom has its own private lanai with stunning garden views.  Time your stay right and you can literally pick fresh bananas from the tree off the bedroom lanai! Both bedrooms have king beds, and a queen-size very comfy Murphy bed is conveniently tucked away in the dining room area, making for very relaxing sleeping arrangements for up to six guests. Air conditioning was recently added in both of the bedrooms. Every room has ceiling fans, and there are also great natural breezes that run thru the condo.
You don't have to worry about bringing your beach gear as we supply everything you will need: snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach blanket, boogie boards, beach toys, beach wagon, and ice chests.  We also supply all linens, towels (including beach towels), paper products, soap, body wash, shampoo, laundry pods, and dishwasher pods. The large kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need to cook your meals from home including all silverware, dishes, pots/pans, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, and a blender!  Both the kitchen and bathrooms were fully remodeled complete with granite countertops, new cabinets, and seamless showers. There is very plush and comfy carpet in the living room, hallway, and bedrooms. This condo is loaded with stacked laundry, free High Speed Wireless Internet, Alexxa, and flat screen TV’s with cable in both bedrooms and the living room.
In addition to its ideal ground-level location and close walking access to some of Kauai’s best beaches, there are amazing amenities that come along with staying at the Poipu Kai Resort! Your group will have access to 3 beautiful pools and jacuzzi’s. We have a lovely pool, jacuzzi, and BBQ area conveniently right around the corner but just far enough away to avoid the noise. You have access to tennis and pickleball courts, BBQ grills, beautiful lush green surroundings with lighted walking paths, 24 hour security, a designated parking spot, and ample additional free parking.  This is a beautiful condo and is in a prime location just minutes from the best beaches, swimming, surfing, amazing golf courses, and great shopping. The Poipu Kai Resort offers the perfect vacation for every traveler, and this condo will make you feel at home right away. 
In addition to its close proximity to fabulous beaches and other great activities nearby in Poipu, this location is central to many other great locations on the island of Kauai. We are a short 25 minute drive to Lihue, and a 30 minute drive to the west side of the island (Waimea). From Waimea you can drive up the mountain and see the magestic Waimea Canyon in 20 minutes. From this condo you can also drive to Kapaa in 35 minutes or to the North Shore (Princeville/Hanalei) in just under an hour. You could not find a more central location if you plan to explore the entire island of Kauai!
We do not use a property management company to run our rental property, for the simple reason that we love personally taking care of our guests and ensuring that everyone who visits our home has the best vacation! You have our promise that if you stay in our home, we will be reponsive to any questions or concerns you may have before or during your stay. We love hearing that our guests had a wonderful stay in our home and a special vacation in Kauai. If you book this condo one time and you’ll want to come stay again and again like many of our returning guests!

Absolutely AMAZING Poipu condo!!The host was one of the best hosts we have had during our many stays on the islands. We never ran out of toliet paper or paper towels during our 12 day stay and we were a party of 5!! The beds and furniture were super comfy and the kitchen had all the tools needed to cook awesome meals. There was even a rice cooker!! The condo itself is in the best location. The bedroom lanais are super private, and there is a closet with everything you need for a beach day. Which btw, you can get to both Poipu and Shipwreck with just a short stroll down the path. Oh and the Murphy bed was insanely comfortable!! In fact all the beds were. If you see availability for your vacation dates, dont hesitate!! Mahalo from us Alaskans!!

This place is amazing! Shipwreck Beach is 5 min away, Poipu Beach is 5 min away. The condo is beautiful and they had so much stuff for us to use! Find, snorkeling gear, body boards, golf clubs, big coolers and small, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. I was blown away by how well equipped they were. The beds we comfortable and the bathrooms beautiful. I have nothing negative to say. This place was exactly what my family of 5 needed!

We were overwhelmed with the size and spaciousness of this beautiful condo. Our stay was amazing and the walk to Popui Beach was only about 7 minutes and so tranquil. We went swimming every night and watched the turtles beach themselves every night. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was the most stocked I have ever been at. The washer and dryer and normal size so huge! The decor was Kauai and beach themed and perfect. I felt so at home it was hard to leave. We will be back to this unit!

Great location. Easy access to beaches. Comfortable beds. Lots of pool toys. We appreciated the beach chairs and ice chests. Enjoyed the brewery in Port Allen. Definitely stop at Costco or Safeway for your food and drinks. Kitchen is well equipped for easy preparation of food. Local offering are sparse. Would stay here again.

We loved our stay at the apartment. It is a short walk to multiple beaches and a great jumping-off point for seeing the rest of the island. The apartment itself was spacious and clean with a great kitchen - the Murphy bed made it basically like a three bedroom apartment. It was also very well stocked with household goods and beach supplies. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful spot. Convenient location to the beach. Lots of beach toys and boogie boards. The rooms were beautiful and comfy beds. The pools and jacuzzis were lovely in the evening after beach days. We ended our 2 weeks in Poipu and didn’t really want to leave.

Our condo at Poipu Kai was perfect, and exactly as advertised. The house was stocked with everything you could need - we especially appreciated the beach gear and the cart, which made it easy to walk and take everything you need to Poipu Beach. We also appreciated and used the Kauai guidebooks, board games and poker chips, and the A/C to make it cool while we slept. The location couldn't be better - beaches, restaurants, and shops were all within walking distance. We walked to the beach every evening to see turtles and sunset. The pools on property were excellent. We are all tennis players, so we used the tennis/pickleball facilities. There are fees to use the courts, but staying at Poipu Kai we were able to get a family membership for the week for 60 that included ability to reserve courts, access to join the regular groups (tennis and pickleball open play), and unlimited court time. And the courts were about a 2 minute walk from the condo. This is about the best option you will find on any of the Hawaiian Islands, so if you're in to tennis and pickleball this is the place for you! This was just a bonus on top of everything else offered. We didn't need anything during our stay, but the owner was very responsive and allowed us early check-in since we were arriving to Kauai late morning. 100% would stay here again if we're lucky enough to return to this magical island.

After coming through the tunnel of trees, we found the condo quickly after our turn into the property. We loved the location as it was so convenient to Shipwreck Beach, the Poipu Bay Golf Course, Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach. We saw turtles and monk seals. Traveled to Hanalei Bay and to Waimea Canyon. Visited Koloa and the local shopping and restaurants.

Condo is well situated, has parking for two cars, pool is nearby and lovely walk to the beach through a grassy green belt. Hosts provide all the gear one could need for beach, snorkeling, tennis, bathroom supplies and laundry supplies. Full kitchen is well appointed. Lanais were lovely to sit for coffee and private time. Unfortunately the stand alone air conditioners in each bedroom are loud, and while they cool the bedrooms, they do not sufficiently cool or dry the entire unit as was advertised.

A wonderful spot to stay. Felt so close to everything we needed in the south and in Poipu. Loved that we could walk a lot of places. Very spacious apartment. Loved having access to AC and beach toys. We also enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay again! Only feedback would be that it would be really nice for an apartment so close to the beach to have wood/laminate floors vs carpet especially with the beach toy cupboard all the way at the back of the unit on the lanai.

We enjoyed our 3 nights at this property. Loved walking the greenbelt to see the resting sea turtles from this home. It added to our enjoyment the fully stocked beach closet. I borrowed a chair for the beach one day. It was nice to have air conditioning in the bedrooms and have access to a Murphy bed.

We loved staying at this condo this December. It was perfect for our five adults and one toddler. It’s a good size with plenty of space for everyone. The AC and fans in the bedrooms worked well to cool the bedrooms off. The rest of the condo has fans and good air flow so we were comfortable. The location was easy walk to the beach and we enjoyed the pools and hot tubs on the property. We would stay again.

Fabulous property- perfect location and short walk to the beach. Watched the turtles swim into the shore and leave again in the morning. Thank you so much- definitely will rent here again. We had to use all beds and I am impressed by how comfy that Murphy bed was too! Air conditioner units in both rooms kept the whole unit cool for sleeping.

Our stay in Poipu was very nice. The location was excellent and we loved that we had access to so many beach accessories ready for use, especially the wagon. The sliding door locks were not very functional and being on the first floor, it was somewhat concerning even using the door blocks that were provided. We loved the newly remodeled bathrooms.

My husband and I stayed here for our 9-day trip, the first vacation we’ve taken just for us in 14 years! We wanted a quiet, comfortable place to call home during our trip. It was important to us to have AC, a full kitchen, and a resort experience. The location couldn’t have been better, with the beach a 10 minute walk away and a pool basically right outside the door. We rented a car so we could easily see the whole island, but there are restaurants in walking distance. The patios were perfect for morning coffee. The AC was ice cold and the furniture was comfortable. We had an excellent stay and found the hosts to be great communicators and very gracious about our requested late checkout. When we return to Kauai, we will definitely book here again!

We loved the condo! Short walk to the beach, had tons of swimming and beach gear. The whole place was spotless! My only complaint is that we were walked in on by the person cleaning the condo at checkout time. As a family with kids we were running a few minutes late and at exactly 10 o' clock the door opened without a knock by the cleaning person. I would stay here again dispite our surprise at checkout lol.

The location is perfect, a 5 minute walk to the beach with everything you need to enjoy yourself from towels to boogie boards to snorkels, chairs, and beach toys plus a wagon to pull it all. The three lanais are wonderful for sitting out at night or anytime you're in the condo.

The condo was exactly as advertised with bone chilling air conditioners in the bedrooms and fully stocked kitchen and bathroom/showers. I've actually never stayed in of Vrbo that was as fully stocked. The owner even put frozen juice Popsicles and a bag of ice in the freezer. The parking was no issue and there was even visitor parking if the second couple had their own rental, so when assigned parking space and one visitor space. The pools were very nice and uncrowded. There were no noisy neighbors. I liked the proximity to Kalapaki Joes and the short walk to the beach and Poipu Park for sunsets..

We were having problems with the VRBO Website and couldn’t access the entry directions. We reachied out to the hosts and they were very gracious in returning our call promptly. When we come back to Kauai we will try to book this property again!

All of the positive reviews of this property were 100% correct. It was clean, comfortable, spacious, and the owners have put a lot of thought and effort into providing everything one could possibly need during a stay. It was an easy 10 minute walk down to the beach and to a couple of casual eating places. After a busy day out, it really felt like we were “coming home”, which you could never say about a hotel room. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Kauai.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! Super clean, VERY roomy and close to the beach. The best part about the beach that’s close is it’s literally the best boogie board beach on the island! Beautiful sunsets to be had right down there as well. We also have to say that the closet out the master bedroom had everything imaginable for your visit to the beach. Thank you for sharing all that with us.

Our stay at Poipu Kai was magical! We have three teenage daughters and the condo was nice and spacious. We put one daughter in the Murphy Bed and that worked well. Great to have coffee on the lanai next to the geckos. The condo was well-furnished and a great central location for an easy walk to Poipu Beach and the Hyatt Grand Regency. We had so much fun and highly recommend this place. Thanks!

We had a wonderful time. The property listing is accurate and the property owner/manager was very responsive and let us check out late for a fee which was really helpful as our flight out was not until 10pm. The beach was amazing and the condo property/landscaping was beautiful. Would recommend to anyone. There is a strange smell to the place but if you open up the doors to get the island breeze going it goes away and you don't notice it at all. The murphy bed was comfortable and the air conditioning in the other bedrooms was great. If you plan on using the murphy bed just be aware that there is only a fan in that area so it is hotter than the other rooms for sleeping. So happy we were able to visit this beautiful place.

My family and I stayed in this condo and would easily recommend it to family and friends. The condo was spacious, big comfortable beds and lots of room in the living spaces. The kitchen had all the essentials you need to get through your stay. The real shining moment for this condo is their beach supply closet. Truly you don’t need to think about bringing anything beach related. They have coolers of all types, a beach blanket, beach toys, boogie boards, fins, snorkels, swim shoes, floaties, beach chairs, umbrella, wagon, and things for nearby activities like golf and tennis. We brought a few things like floaties for the kids and beach bags to hold our things and truly we could have skipped it and used things they had. My only hesitation with the condo was the carpet, it was everywhere and very close to white. In a lot of their instructions they were very clear about keeping the carpet pristine and being charged for any spots. I understand this completely but with kids (5y, 3y, and 1y) it is a bit nerve wracking. Overall I suspect we will be staying here again on any subsequent trips to Kauai.
