The house and location were perfect for a family vacation with multiple generations (Ages 3- 80). We were extremely happy with the place. Our stay was in May 2025.
Very nice home near beaches and walking paths. Nice pool for swimming but at a cold temperature.Home could use som landscape cutting back of bushes on driveway and update some kitchen appliances
It was not bad but had issue in bedroom for air conditioning leaking water and dishwasher was not working properly
We were celebrating a recent family member’s passing and the unforgettable memories of previous Kauai vacations. We flew from San Francisco, Sacramento Seattle and Honolulu. The spaciousness of the house met all of our needs and allowed us to walk to the beach/pool and restaurants. Although the ‘Hideaway’ was located in a resort area, the private driveway, upper and lower patios, surrounding trees and hammock made it feel like our own paradise.
Place was great! Great location and plenty of room for all. A few of the appliances however, do need replacement. The refrigerator & freezer was not working when we arrived and the sink/dishwasher had a slight leak underneath the cabinet. Fortunately our food was able to make it as management brought a smaller refrigerator replacement to get through the week. Otherwise, everything was great.
Our family of 8 stayed here for a week. It was very comfortable with plenty of room. Lots of lush palm trees & foliage surround the house protecting it from the other homes. It’s not the quietest neighborhood I’ve ever been in but there are lots of birds to listen to!
I would definitely recommend.
Beautiful, well maintained, natural setting, quiet, friendly service, excellent location!
Totally wowed!

Our family of nine fit very comfortably in this beautiful home. The whole area is gorgeous and it's a short walk to the beach. Loved it!
We so enjoyed our stay at Soft Landings. The house is equipped with everything you need for a great stay. Kitchen is stocked with all the necessities. Very roomy and clean shared spaces for family interactions and gathering for meals. There are short walks to amazing beaches and pools.
Easy walk to beach, nice house, great for large groups!

We found the house to be perfect for our multi-generational family. Plenty of space and the bedrooms worked out perfectly. Mostly clean but could use a deep cleaning in some areas. The kitchens were well stocked and met our needs. We did breakfast every day, packed lunches and three dinners. The ceiling fans in the upper level are a bit of a challenge but necessary to keep the space cool. With the fans and open windows the place was fine without air conditioning. Actually enjoyable. We needed four bedrooms and this house worked perfectly. The management team was exceptional. Very responsive, helpful and accommodating. They will remind you to take out the trash and bring the cans back in. It is a little bit of a hike to the beaches. I didn’t go to the pool but the kids enjoyed it. The beaches around Poipu were not as enjoyable as on the north side.

Had a wonderful stay on Kauai! Property met ours needs perfectly, it was a multigenerational family vacay. Within walking distance to Poi Pu beach and Brennecke's Beach. Would highly recommend this property for larger groups. Off street parking too.
This is a lovely, well-appointed and well-managed vacation home for a big crowd (we had 9 adults and teens). We had previously experienced a really bad condo rental situation on a different Hawaiian island, so it gave us great confidence that this would be a good experience when the management was very communicative and sent multiple messages prior to the trip. They sent us access to a digital Guestbook with all the details about the property, check-in and check-out procedures, etc all in one place for us to access before and during the trip.
To be honest, we were a little nervous that the house didn’t have air conditioning, but it wasn’t a problem at all. The sliding doors and windows were always open when we were home, and the constant ocean breeze kept the shared living areas very comfortable. The 3 bedrooms that didn’t have good air flow had a/c units, so sleeping was comfortable for everyone.
We had access to the neighborhood pool and tennis courts (5 min walk from the house) and multiple beaches (10 min walk from the house). The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking necessities and plenty of dishes/silverware for a big crowd. The photos are accurate, the furnishings are recent, and the beds were comfortable. The house has multiple lanais, and we spent most of our time at home eating or lounging outside.
Highly recommend this house for a Kauai south shore vacation with a big group.
The home was very clean and welcoming, and the location was perfect for short walks to the Poipu Beach area. Of the five bedrooms, three could be considered "primary" or fairly equal, and two are definitely less appointed. Management was friendly and responsive to some problems we encountered, however follow up was a bit slower. Overall it was a good experience to stay there.

Our family of 9 including 2 kids (3 1/2 and 16 months) had a great week at the property. The 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms worked out very well for us as a multi-family unit. Enjoyed the wrap around lanai and multiple places to enjoy each other's company or be solitary. Appreciated the provision of a portable crib and high chair. Beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards were provided. Management was very responsive to questions.
The location was an easy walk to Poipu Beach with great kids beach and a quick walk to Shipwrech Beach in the other direction where we enjoyed multiple sunrises on the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. Great location for excursions to the West side, Waimea, as well as to the North side, Hanalei Bay and Princeville. Would definitely stay here again.
this house was split so you could rent a one room, a small suite for two, two bedrooms and a large living/dining/kitchen area or all of it! The outdoor lanai's were spacious. A 10 minute walk to the beach. Close to quaint shopping and restaurants. Located on the "sunny side" of the island.
The management was amazing with continued contact before and through the whole journey of the rental.
The only things that would have been better, is if all the lights and fans switches were labeled, it would have been perfect for the average family. Note this is not handicapped/elderly friendly.
Amazing house minutes from all the beaches. Great common areas for hangout with fa ily and game night. Would come back again year over year. Do yourself and your family a favor and book this place vs. Hotel rooms. The staff are amazing too. Great communicators, easy and painless check in and check out process. Available for questions upon demand and if they miss your call, they call you back within 5 minutes. Can't say enough how easy the staff make this trip for us.
Good place for family. Had a failure with 55" TV but was corrected within 48 hours. Lighting in main living space made it difficult to read on rainy evenings. Beach and pool access was more than advertised - e.g., 20 minute walk. Getting rid of garbage from previous renters was an immediate challenge. Weather made for more days / evenings at house.

The property was even better than we expected. It is very organized, clean and we had everything we needed for meals, beach time, etc. We would totally rent again if we get back to the island.
This is a lovely property conveniently located to poipu beach. This is our second stay here and we loved it.
We enjoyed the house and it was great for our group of 8 people. I did mention that one of the air conditioning units was not working but we just dealt with it because there was a nice breeze. I was a little disappointed that no one came out to fix it, but otherwise the place was perfect. Close to everything.
Wonderful home Anna, secure, and quiet location. Spacious and clean.
When we first arrived the windows and doors were all shut and it was very hot inside. Once we opened the doors and windows the home cooled off quickly. My adult children really enjoyed the apartment and efficiency bedroom in the lower level and the master suite was very comfortable. The other two uper level bedrooms were on the small side and did not have space for hanging clothes. We were able to enjoy the lanai even when it was raining and also had plenty of sun on the front lanai. It was windy for most of our stay and with the windows and lanai doors open, we did not miss the air conditioning at all.
Over all it was a very comfortable place with plenty of room to spred out for 8 adults. Some issues we had were that the owners car showed up and took up a parking spot, athough we we able to make it work. We also had a problem with two smoke alarms going off. One was in the middle of the night. I would have likes to have swept or dust mopped the hardwood floors in the kitchen and living room but we were not able to find a broom. When I asked the management for one she said housekeeping says there is one in the garage. I told her the only broom here is a big push broom and and little hand sweeper. She said she would double check with housekeeping but I never heard back. We ended up having to use the hand held sweeper to spot sweep. Non of the issues were major and did not effect the quality of our stay.
Perfect location, perfect house for a family or group of friends. The second downstairs living area was especially useful for us - 2 families. Great layout and combination of indoor and outdoor spaces.
