Our family stayed here for seven days and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Scott and Laurie had all of the essentials covered. They responded promptly to all of our questions. It was a short walk in either direction to Shipwreck beach or Poipu / Brennecke's beach. The home was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Also, having AC in all of the bedrooms was a big plus. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

This is a fantastic family home in a perfect location. We traveled with my in-laws and kids 5 &7. You can easily walk to Poipu beach and see the sea turtles or go on a breathtakingly beautiful hike that starts from the property.
