Shipwreck Beach Cottage is a PREMIER condo at Poipu Sands is a STAND ALONE unit, with NO NEIGHBORS above or on any side. It just underwent a COMPLETE MAKEOVER with new furniture, floor coverings, paint, and accessories. This one will WOW anyone who chooses to spend their vacation here. This is the largest lanai in Poipu Sands, which means more space for a full seating of new lanai furniture!
It enjoys much of the PRIVACY that a HOUSE offers, but it shares in the all the amenities offered by Poipu Sands and the Poipu Kai Resort, such as pools and tennis courts. It is a very short walk (less than 5 minutes) down the path to Shipwreck Beach and the Grand Hyatt. The Heated Pool is directly in front of the unit, but far enough as to not be any distraction. The BBQ is also in this area, making pool side dinners possible. This is the best pool on the island, and is seldom crowded, as there are several pools available within the Poipu Kai Resort complex.
You can literally walk anywhere. A 5 minute walk along a shore trail takes you to a vantage point over the ocean, where you can watch numerous turtles play in the surf, and you can also be in the prime spot for sunset. Walk to the Hyatt to enjoy one of their fantastic restaurants, or a luau.
Several walking paths within the resort will take you to other pools and tennis courts, and down to Brennecke Beach. What a spot! Go a little further to one of the island's best beach destinations, Poipu Beach Park. Poipu Beach was named America's Best Beach by The Travel Channel, ranking top among the 10 'best' beaches selected nationwide. This beach is a series of golden sand crescents, strung together where beach-goers will find snorkeling, swimming, a natural ocean wading pool, boogie-boarding and surfing.
Back at the condo, you will find windows on all 4 sides, allowing the cooling trade winds to pass through. This is a PREMIER property, with NEW designer furniture and accessories. The carpets are new, the linens are NEW, and the kitchen is more than you could hope for. Here you will find plenty of cabinet space, premium appliances, granite counters, and all the kitchen tools and small appliances to enjoy meals right at home. The large covered lanai provides a great place to relax and enjoy friends, or a great book.
There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and bath, and the other has twins that can be made into a king bed as well, upon request. It has an adjacent bath, with tub and shower.
There is a laundry, so you don't need to bring all that luggage and pay extra baggage fees! Unlike some of the units at Poipu Sands, you can park right in front, making it a short walk for groceries and your luggage.
There is a large desk and area to work on a computer, if you wish to do business during your stay. If you just want to keep in touch with your friends and family back home, there is wireless high speed internet, allowing you to surf the net from the lanai or the bedroom. There is a high definition 47' flat screen TV, and a surround sound stereo, in the living room. The Romance Cottage is stocked with books, games, DVD’s, music CD’s, beach gear and lots of aloha – totally turnkey. The only thing missing is you in your island paradise home away from home!
This is the way to go, and the place to go, to maximize your vacation experience. The convenience of a RESORT, with the PRIVACY OF A HOUSE. You shouldn't have to settle for ...

We definitely had a five star experience! The condo was as advertised – everything about our stay was perfection! The hosts were responsive and kind. The condo was so comfortable and clean. We loved having the washer and dryer available as well as the fans in the rooms. We loved the second floor balcony for hanging out and the proximity to the beach and pool was unparalleled. We can’t say enough good things about this condo and we plan on returning!

This would have been a great stay but for the construction noise. Although we had been informed there would be construction, we were led to believe this would have little effect on our stay at the property we were moved to. That was untrue as there was large machinery that was very large. the noise and shrill beeping would begin at around 7:30 AM and go until around 5:00 PM. It did not make you want to stay at the property during those times. Sleeping in was an impossibility.

This property was wonderful and everything we could’ve needed for the week for our family of four. Quick access to groceries, shopping, short walk to the beach, fans in the evening when it got warm were very helpful. This is a very special unit that is set apart from the rest of the complex, and was perfect for morning coffee and late night relaxation after a long day of traveling around the island.
The condo included everything we could need for the stay, all appliances, great separation of space, very comfortable beds and couch. The pool is just beautiful, larger than most complexes and very rarely does it get busy. We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Great property all around. Didn’t have AC, but enough wind and fans to keep cool.

This is a wonderful unit at a great location. The unit is well equipped with everything you need to cook and enjoy meals. The unit is roomy and the fans and many windows keep it cool. I loved sitting on the lanai with my morning coffee and enjoying the songs of the birds and palm trees blowing in the breeze. The unit is between Shipwreck Beach and Poipu Beach Park making it an easy walk along the paths in either direction. We loved setting up beach chairs at Shipwreck in the morning and doing a late afternoon stroll to Poipu Beach before dinner. The unit came equipped with beach equipment: chairs, boogie boards, toys, and coolers. I always hit the Blue Ginger store at the The Shops at Kukui‘ula to purchase a new dress for my grand daughter every year. The two shopping areas provide restaurants and little shops to explore. Before you come make reservations at Tidepools restaurant at the Marriott. It’s a short walk and the food is wonderful. We love Poipu Sands and this unit did not disappoint! I highly recommend it! Mahalo to Scott who is very easy to work with. We enjoy our stays and look forward to returning next year.

Great location in a beautiful and well maintained property. Home was the most well furnished place we have stayed particularly all the incidental supplies and beach equipment. Morning coffee on the lanai was a great way to start the day.
Highly recommend this place!

Weather was not great so we were never able to see the canyon or the Nepali coast. All cancelled. Loved the Big Save and nearby Walmart. Loved Poipu Beach. Best snorkeling and whale shows with turtles and seals swimming in to rest on the beach. You need water shoes. Many rocks, coral and sea urchins. I learned if I walked out and rolled rocks over the fish would swarm. No find needed. Fell once and cut both hands. Gotta be careful. Enjoyed touring north coast. Had a van. It went all around the island as all roads we travelled were paved. Avoid the Whaler General Store. Prices are 2x there. Extra 5 min drive to Big Save in Koloa is worth it. Excellent pineapples for $1.39. Loved Smith Grotto tour and luau. Best we have seen by far out of 4. One warning about this property. It is NOT airconditiioned and the louvre windows open and close hard or not at all. We had several very uncomfortable nights with no breeze except the fans. Next time I will seek AC. It was always a little moist in the condo. We had a lot of rain during our stay. Glad we went. The hikes around the Hyatt and up onto the bluff were great. Shipwreck beach was nice to walk along side but a hard walk in the soft sand and windy. Poipu beach was delightful and we enjoyed the Puka dogs.

Ideal location to swim in the pool or walk to the ocean. Many restaurants and shops are within a couple of miles. Beds were extremely comfortable. Unit was spotless. We would definitely stay here again.
