Very well appointed place, which we appreciated! The breeze was lovely and we didn't miss having air conditioning. Quiet location close to Poipu beaches and within short drive to groceries. Pool was pleasant! Our family of four had plenty of space and we loved the airy upstairs bedroom. Communication with the hosts was prompt. Overall great!

Our stay at this location was greatly enjoyed and one of our favorites out of the 4 places we stayed during our vacation to several of the Hawaiian Islands. It was a beautiful space located amongst tropical plants and flowers. We woke every morning to the birds and crowing rooster (but he didn't bother us, it was just part of the ambiance.) The ceiling fans along with the trade winds kept our time in the condo cool and comfortable. There was ample space for our group and we were more than relaxed and happy to end our evenings in such a nice space. The bed and pillows were soft and cozy, typically I have a difficult time sleeping when away from home, but not here, I slept soundly. I also enjoyed being able to walk to Poipu beach every morning during my stay, definitely a highlight of the area. I would recommend anyone staying at this location to arrive during daylight hours, at least initially, as it makes it easier to locate. We had a wonderful stay at this location and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay. Mahalo!

Great place to stay in Poipu! Condo had everything we needed - except A/C. I am sure it said it somewhere in the description but I missed it. It doesn't really cool down much, especially upstairs, so keep this in mind when booking.
The crater area is beautiful and quiet! Enjoyed mornings on the porch!

We will stay here again. Loved the fact that it was not right in the tourist area. The times they stated to get to the beach were not correct if you were walking.

We loved this condo which was close to Poipu and the beach! Everything was clean, nice furniture, wonderful deck, and great kitchen and necessities! We would definitely come back again. Thanks so much!

This is a nice clean comfortable unit with a beautiful well sheltered lanai that gets the morning sun, wonderful breakfast spot. We didn’t realize when we booked it but the name does hint at the fact that you are really in a crater. The turn off the street into the complex drops probably about 30 feet to your parking spot, then there is maybe 12-15 foot climb back up the sidewalk to get to the unit. We are able bodied so it wasn’t that big of a deal but we had planned on doing a little more walking from the unit to the beaches and shops. We ended up driving most places instead. This unit is pretty good value for your dollar I think with somewhat dated fixtures and furnishings but it was comfortable and functional. There was a shortage of Kleenex, garbage bags and no sink stopper for the kitchen sink and it seems the towels had been put away while still damp by the cleaners before our stay, so those were down points but all around we were quite satisfied.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at crater 26! The house was just as listed. We arrived to a clean, bright and spacious place to call home for a week. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking as well as cleaning. There was plenty of laundry soap and towels. We appreciated the extra box fans to help circulate that warm Hawai’i air. The upstairs (master) room was very spacious with a comfortable king bed and beautiful furnishings. We didn’t use the downstairs bedroom as it was just the two of us, but that was a beautifully made room as well. The pool area was a wonderful quiet and clean space to lounge in the sun and read. The loungers were very nice and the layout provided plenty of personal space. Check in/check out was easy. Thank you Jeremy for providing a wonderful home away from home for our week long kid free vacation. Would recommend crater 26 to friends and family if planning a visit to Kaua’i!

We liked the stay here a lot. It's a nice House in a quiet area with the pool just opposite and close to The poipu beaches.
