Nice stay close to beach

Nice little place, you basically get a small apartment all to yourself. The cooking area has the basics if you want to cook at home. A lot of great beach gear was provided which was super nice. A small beach 10 min walk from the house was great.

Quiet stay close to beach

We enjoyed our stay in Poipu. A quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach. Many amenities were provided for inside and outside. This included a cooler, beach chairs and other beach equipment. Cam gave us a gift of chocolate covered macadamia nuts and left us some bananas from his property.

Aloha

Casual with a great location on Kawai. We had a Pleasant short walk to the shore. The first day, my wife and I walked down to the beach for sunset. As we approached the beach, saw a whale breaching just offshore. I saw only the big splash. She was a lucky lady!

Cute and charming

I had stayed here solo, just for one night before heading to the other side of the island. It was everything I needed for my short stay. The location was great. The space was clean. I didn’t use the kitchen but it seemed to have enough to work with for a party of 2- if needed. The full size refrigerator was a plus. The bed was comfy enough. The futon will need the extra padding provided. I didn’t check out the pool because I came for the beaches. I read some reviews that said it was out dated. I found the space to be endearing and safe. If you want luxurious, there are many expensive alternatives to go for. Everything listed is accurate. Cam the host was quick to respond and gave very good instructions upon arrival. I would stay here again. Mahalo!

Two night stay for a wedding

I was extremely happy with the property not only because it was close to the event I was attending, they also have all the little amenities you might need. I needed an iron and board for my shirt and pants and they had it which made it great. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to experience the tennis court or pool because of how short my trip was, but everything was amazing during my stay. Although the location does not have a/c, it was not needed because the weather was great and during the night it gets very windy.

Walkable to Shipwreck beach & Hilton amenities. Pool a short walk or drive - to nearby restaurant that is closer to pool. Property had lots of beach supplies to borrow as well as beach towels. Everything we needed for our short visit. Will come again with family.

GOOD FOR A QUICK STAY & CLOSE TO GOLF COURSE

The place was not what I expected at first but it was clean and close to Poipu Golf course which was the reason for our trip. It was a bit confusing upon check in and I couldn't get in touch with the property manager. I did not expect for it to be in a room with other rooms in the house. I assumed it was a separate space but that may be my misunderstanding. Also, it would be A LOT better if there was A/C because I was dying in there. Other than that, the stay was fine and the property managers were nice & helpful.

Short Stay in Poipu

The apartment was small, but room enough for a couple of nights. There is really no kitchen to speak of, just a warming plate and some other efficiency items. It would be very hard to cook in the little space. However, the little kitchen was well appointed. The rest of the apartment had everything we needed. I would suggest barbeque if you want to cook at the apartment. Also note, there were several apartments here and I think we had the smallest. We peeked into one other when the door was open and it was quite large.There was a small miscommunication with the owner, but nothing earth shattering and all was well in the end. The owner is really nice and the property is beautiful with nice outdoor space. The unit is close to the beach, shopping and restaurants. We walked around a bit and went to the pool. It was a nice way to spend a couple of hours.I would definitely recommend this unit for a couple of nights, no more than 2 people. I would stay here again.

vacation at Lanai Villas

My daughter and I stayed in the Queen Suite at Lanai Villas. It was small but comfortable and we enjoyed the deck outside the living room/bedroom. The queen size bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The futon in the small living room was comfortable with the extra foam mattress that was available.The landlord, Cam was responsive to any questions, and very pleasant. We arrived after dark, but as was explained (prior to arrival) by email, the front door was unlocked and instructions and welcome letter was posted inside with directions to our suite, where keys, beach towels, and a box of chocolates awaited us! The overhead fan and screened windows made sleeping comfortable (we were there in February).We used the beach chairs that were available to us, and we chose to drive to the beach - Poipu.I would definitely stay there again.

Tiny apartment in an older house. Lack of AC was manageable but needed to pay attention to closing and opening windows and using fans, very convenient for us as was about 5 min walk from the house other family members rented. Lovely network of walking paths in area

Quick trip to Kauai in between Big Island vacation.

Everything was set up well for what we needed. Communication was great. Slept great both nights. Close to beach and restaurants. Owner had alot of things we could borrow, such as body boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, small coolers, and many other things. For the price it's pretty hard to complain about anything unless your just a miserable unhappy person. Thanks Cam for an easy and pleasant stay.

On a adoré la terrasse pour prendre les repas et se reposer et d'avoir accès à des chaises de plage, parasol et autres. La cuisine était bien équipée. Beaucoup de recommandations locales. Par contre, l'absence de climatisation nous a surpris, c'est surtout qu'après une journée de randonnée au soleil on aurait préféré pouvoir avoir un appartement frais. Par contre, avec les ventilateurs, la nuit c'était confortable.

Great location

We selected the property as an affordable option for a friends wedding at the Hyatt next door. It was a great spot and only a 5 min walk to the Hyatt to be able to join all the wedding events and shuttles easily. It is also a 5 min walk to the beach. The property is quaint and cozy. Easy checkin and communication. One thing worth noting is the unit does not have air conditioning. I’m sure this is fine most times of the year but was warm when we visited in August. The owner lives upstairs and brought us extra fans
