Maikalani at Poipu Kai By Parrish Kauai - quaint cottage for 4 with AC & private

Very nice home in a great location.

Well maintained and equipped 2br Villa connected to the beautiful Poipu Beach via the "greenbelt" walkways surrounded by lush beautiful gardens throughout this 70 acre community in Poipu on Kauai's south shore that also connects you with the Grand Hyatt Kauai snd Shipwreck Beach. This modest Villa has all the comforts of home, and is perfectly located for 2 couples looking to explore beautiful Kauai! Mahalo to our wonderful hosts!

On the scale from 1 to 5 this house should have about 23. :) We are quite experienced travelers and usually we are trying to book a house, not a hotel for our vacations and conference trips , so we do have a lot to compare with. So far - this one is unquestionably the best. Location is perfect - 3 minutes walk in one direction is a Shipwreck beach for surfers and experienced swimmers and Grand Hyatt resort with the best restaurant on the island and beautiful place for morning coffee (opened from 6 AM), 12 min walk in opposite direction is a Poipu beach, safe, easy and completely protected from waves, with beautiful snorkeling and sea turtles (they are coming to the beach at every sunset and are going back to the ocean after a sunrise). One of the very nice hikes starts right in the corner of Shipwreck beach and watching sunrise from the top of the cliff there is something special. Weather is almost ideal and much better than on the North side of the island - and Kauai itself is absolutely beautiful. If you are hikers - I highly recommend Waimea Canyon and Sleeping Giant (second - if you are experienced hiker). If you are not - you can see the Canyon from the observation point accessible by a car, but you should see it. It is not called Grand Canyon of Pacific for nothing. And the last, but not least - house itself. For the family or party of 3 or 4 people it is Goldilocks perfect - not too small, not too big, just right to feel very comfortable. With a lot of air and space, but not too big and empty. And it is exceptionally well maintained and stocked with everything - from the kitchenware for quite complicated cooking if you like it, to the golf clubs and charger for Tesla... To make long story short - it was our best week of vacation for the last 25 years. And we already decided to book it for the next year for more than a week. :)

Great location, easy access to multiple beaches, home was immaculate and well-appointed with many thoughtful touches. Very responsive property manager with any questions during our stay. Would stay here again.

We loved this property! We ultimately chose it for the closeness to the Hyatt for my husbands conference but it was a great home base for our adventures all over the island! Everything you could need and more is provided with the house! Will definitely stay again!

This property was perfect for our group of 3. We were attending a conference at the Hyatt next door so location was very convenient. Lots of good places to walk nearby. Property management was very helpful with any questions. Very well stocked house, extensive kitchen supplies, beach chairs, toys, even golf clubs.

We had such a good time. The home was so comfortable, and well appointed. If we needed something, it was there. The location was perfect. I would rent this home again

I have stayed in many rental homes in many places... This home is perfect! It is so thoughtfully stocked! There is a spice rack! And kitchen basics! Not just a single soap. I mean there is oil, and sugar, and plastic wrap, and flour!! Basically everything you want but don’t want to buy for a week long vacation. There is EVERYTHING you need for the short walk to the perfect beach! Chairs umbrellas towels a cooler! Oh yeah, the home is gorgeous and clean and perfect too... Stop looking. Rent this one.

We were here for a congress at the Hyatt. We definetly liked our stay. It was few steps from the hotel. The house is confortale, clean and very well equiped with a more than complete kitchen. I would recommend this place to anybody!

We enjoyed this home very much for the week we were there. Especially appreciated the well equipped kitchen, the beach gear that was provided, and the easy greenbelt walk to Shipwreck Beach, Poipu Beach, and the Hyatt. Downsides: swimming pool is pretty far away, and the A/C in the master bedroom was weak. Nice garden view, but have to walk 50 yds to see the ocean. Unit was clean and well maintained, but mgmt was unable to resolve an issue with the entertainment system during our stay so we couldn't watch any DVD movies.
