This is a beautiful property in an excellent location, and was perfect for our group of 7 friends. Two en-suites are separate from the main house up some stairs, each with a balcony. There is an excellent outdoor shower from the main en-suite bathroom. The outdoor areas are wonderful, with lots of seating configurations possible. One of our favorite attributes was the sound of the fountain and beautiful waterfalls providing a background to the singing birds. Everything is well appointed with a lovely island kitchen and plenty of seating for dining and conversation.We have rented a number of houses in the past and have never experience the fantastic responsiveness and determination to make one’s stay as perfect as possible. Kauai Exclusives made the arrival and departure processes incredibly easy. Every inquiry was responded to within 10 minutes and the team on site for any issue within 30 minutes (there were only two issues.Also, Kauai Exclusives concierge, Darshan, was fantastic in helping us to set up a number of excursions.

We stayed for 10 days with 3 adults and 2 children. The pool and backyard was our own private oasis and spent a lot of time there. The neighbourhood was beautiful and quiet. It was close to many beaches, restaurants, and other amenities on the south shore. The inside of the home was beautiful and cozy and kitchen equipped with all possible cooking needs. The 2 upstairs suites are only accessible from the backyard, which would be great for extended family who want more privacy. The property was clean and orderly. Would love to return to this home in the future.

This home is stunning and is exactly as described in the listing! Our group of 9 had plenty of room to hang out together in the kitchen and living areas and the pool/outside area was incredible! The neighborhood is quiet and it is located in a beautiful part of the island right near the popular Poipu Beach. Great shopping and food nearby as well. Please note that the AC is only in the 4 separate bedrooms (not in the common living areas) and that it only works at night after 7 pm and only if you're "in" the room (it is a smart home)

This house was EVERYTHING we needed it to be and more! Perfect layout for 8 adults. Pool, hot tub, patio were awesome. The check-in/out process was easy and well-communicated. The house was well-appointed and in a great location. All 8 of us agree, we could not have picked a better house!

My family stayed at the beautiful Poipu House at Makelea. The house was lovely, open with tasteful and comfortable furnishings and decor. Large comfortable king suites and abundant lanai furninishing made for lots of spots to relax and enjoy the soft breezes and even the occasional rain showers. Our grandkids, 2+year old and 2 5-6year olds swam for hours in the amazing pool.
We enjoying the well equiped kitchen for our meals in with lots of opportunity for take out locally.
A memorable family gathering in part due to our lovely accomodation and of course who doesn't love Kauai!!

Home is incredible for family, friends, or couples. Great location. The 2 additional suites do not have interior access from main home, access is from the lanai upstairs. The home had everything you need for beach, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, some snorkel gear. Perfect home for Kauai vacation! Mahalo!

From the minute you walk into the front gate you are blown away by the property. We were there in January and the pool was perfect. Almost made you not want to go to the beach….but when we did, there was all the amenities we needed for the day. Everything you could think of needing was at the house. Only regret is not staying longer.

It’s hard to put into words how amazing our stay was at the Kauai Exclusive Management-Poipu House at Makalea. First time using VRBO, but now it definitely won’t be the last. Believe your eyes. The pictures are 100% accurate. Quiet neighborhood. Home was incredible. Pool was outstanding. Beach is a 1 minute drive, 15 minute walk. Shopping and activities are all minutes away on the Poipu end of Kauai. It was a vacation of a lifetime and will live in our memories for the rest of time.
