This house was in the perfect location to walk to beaches, restaurants and coffee. Quiet and private will all the amenities you would need. Definitely would stay here again!
The property is very nice and clean and the owner very cooperative. Great location, no air conditioning and it was extremely warm as the portable fans were not all working.
Great location. House worked well for us. Could use a little updating but fully functional and had everything we needed including beach accessories, a wagon and toys. We made most of our meals at the house and the kitchen had all the cooking utensils we needed.
Great location near multiple beaches. We did some excellent scuba diving and snorkeling just down the road at Koloa Landing, and this made for an excellent base camp. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning, but we did alright without it.

Thank you Daniel. Yes, our house is built in the traditional Hawaiian style with louvres on every window and lots of sliding doors to let the air flow through. So it is not practical to have air conditioning as it would just flow out the louvred windows. Glad you enjoyed your stay!
The house was very beautiful and in a nice neighborhood. The house was clean as well. I would definitely book this place again if I come back to Kauai.
Great location for our young family. Walking distance to pool, beaches and the Grand Hyatt where we were attending a conference. Quiet neighborhood with little traffic. The Owner was very accommodating and helpful to us with our stay and some specific needs that came up.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for space to spread out with a young family while visiting the island.

Thank you Jessica. It was a pleasure to have you as a guest. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay.
We stayed in this home the month of March 2023 and found it to have plenty of room for our family. It is equipped very well with kitchen items and beach things. The home is older, but it suited our needs perfectly and the location is ideal.
We stayed at this home for a week and had a wonderful time! We were able to walk to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu beach very easily. The house was perfect for us (traveling with an 18 month old) and was well equipped for kids. One thing we did not read was the house does not have AC. It was quite warm when we initially got there but there are fans and all the windows open. The backyard was nice and we sat outside often.

Great home for family
We were there with our 2 adult children, their spouses, and a grandchild. The house was perfect for us. It was super clean, a well equipped kitchen, and lots of gear for beach activities. Sonya responded promptly to all our inquiries and went out of her way to make sure that our stay was enjoyable.
We were a family of 4, one of whom used a wheelchair, a set of grandparents and a sister, husband and 10 year old. The house was well located and has great kitchen and bar b q for meal prep. The location is very walkable and close to great beaches as well as a great jumping off spot for visits to other parts of the island.
Nice place to stay! Well equipped with kitchen supplies, beach towels, boogie boards, plenty of T. Paper and paper towels! Was a little warm in the late evening but cooled off nicely from about 11PM on! Close to a couple of beaches but seemed like a little longer walk than as stated. Our family of 8 fit very comfortable here with 2 younger boys sleeping on the pullout sofa. House needs a few updates but is very adequate. We enjoyed our stay here!
Great location. The kids loved the daily wagon rides to Shipwreck Beach. Was a chill few days in a nice house. The house gets a little stuffy when it’s hot during the day so the more air flow you get going the better. Not super important but I think a remote might be missing for the living room TV (couldn’t figure out how to go “back”). All in all a great trip. Would stay again.
This was a convenient and clean rental home. The location is very good. The amenities are good. Some beach equipment is available for use. The only downside was a lack of good air flow which made it hard to cool off the house, and one of the TV or TV remotes was not working. Everything else was great.
The house was perfect for our two families that shared it. Had all the basics we needed for the week including beach wagon, boogie boards and snorkel gear. The plumeria tree in the backyard was an added bonus amongst the gorgeous palm trees. The lanai was the perfect place to start and end every day. The Hawaiian air conditioning (open air) design of the home made it feel like a true island retreat. The location was fantastic. We easily walked to Brennecke and Poipu beaches as well as some of the local area restaurants. Sonya is an amazing host and appreciate her willingness to help us when we had questions or needed assistance. Mahalo for a wonderful and memorable stay on the great island of Kauai!
All previous reviews are accurate. The house is as pictured. It’s charming and is true to the Hawaiian style. If you need air conditioning, you may want to reconsider this home; the house becomes extremely hot in the afternoon and early evening. After a few days, however, we didn’t miss having air conditioning! Overall, I suggest this home as it is located in lovely neighborhood close to two beaches.
The location is unbeatable. Easy walk to both poipu beach and shipwreck beach which are two of the best beaches in the area. The house was well stocked with supplies including soaps, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner etc. There was great airflow in the house with the lower shutters that opened.
The house was definitely dated but that was apparent in the photos. The appliances were touchy to get working correctly and the towels could use updating but otherwise we had a great time and would stay at this house again.

About the host
Hosted by Sonya DeAngelis
We live in the California Bay Area. We have 3 children and visit this house every year at least 3 times. We consider it our home away from home and our kids love the island and all its activities. We always discover something new on each visit.
Why they chose this property
We bought this house after visiting Kauai numerous times. Our first visit to the island was to the north shore to backpack the NaPali coastline. Since then, we decided to buy on the south shore due to its centralized location, resort feel and drier weather. We know you will love the location in Poipu since the house is within walking distance to 3-4 different beaches, restaurants, shops, pool and tennis.
What makes this property unique
Our extended family love the privacy of the inner courtyard, the closeness to the Grand Hyatt and the beaches, and our parents love the single level and openess of the house. When our kids were younger, the inner courtyard and backyard were a great place for the kids to play.
