About this property

Waiohai Beach House: Poipu Beachfront Estate

This oceanfront home embodies the essence of ‘Island Casual’ living, with a focus on relaxation and the breathtaking beauty of its direct ocean views; a perfect spot for those seeking an authentic and unpretentious island experience. The spacious, beautifully furnished 4BR/4BA villa (the only single-family vacation rental on Poipu Beach) flows seamlessly into a picturesque beachside garden that’s like something out of a magazine, or a movie, or a dream: lush tropical landscaping, plush lawns, sparkling turquoise pool and spa—with a white-sand beach and the glittering sea just beyond a storybook gate.

Indoors and out, there’s an abundance of inviting places to relax, play, work, socialize, or enjoy a bit of restorative solitude, with every space enhanced by the music of (surfable!) waves and the exhilarating salty-sweet scent of the ocean. Living Areas, including the spacious, Island Casual great room and chef-friendly kitchen, are crowned with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, and the “Island Style” decor that enhances the charming, elevated-plantation ambience. Upstairs, two stunning primary suites open onto private sea-view balconies, while the larger lanais below invite sunset-watching, alfresco dining, congenial gatherings, or simply enjoying the blissful moment. Every window frames a painterly vista, and the tastefully curated furnishings provide creature comforts and visual delight at every turn.

All this, and world-renowned Poipu Beach just steps away: instant access to sublime swimming, snorkeling, surfing, stand-up paddling, boogie boarding, beach combing, picnicking—and magical memories galore!

Unparalleled location; a dream vacation for my family! The home is great for anyone wanting to enjoy the beach without needing to pack the car and dealing with logistics. The house is right there! The pool is fun and we really enjoyed the grill and outside eating area. Can’t wait to come again.

The house was amazing! The location and pool adjacent to the beach just cannot be beat. House was very comfortable for a family of 9 with 3 kids. During our stay the refrigerator broke and they brought over a replacement with coolers of ice within an hour. The range didn’t work well but was functional. House really could have used AC in the bedrooms for sleep comfort in the summer but overall was an amazing property with very responsive host. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location and views

The location of this property is absolutely phenomenal. The grounds are very well maintained. Can’t beat Poipu beach in the backyard. Gina and the crew were amazing to work with. Super helpful in setting up excursions, a private chef (who was fantastic). The house was well stocked with all the necessities, including toiletries. I can’t say enough good things about the property

Trip of a lifetime!

Our family loved the home and the easy accessibility to the ocean. We had a mix of 3 generations and all considered it the trip of a lifetime. Each bedroom had a great view and cooling breezes. The kids loved boogie boarding in the surf while the adults could maintain a watchful eye from the comfy beach chairs and umbrellas. The large kitchen and outdoor grill made for easy meals at home, yet plenty of restaurant choices also. The pool was fun at night for the younger kids who still had energy to drain. Living area seating plentiful enough for all. Perhaps most magical are the sea turtles who share this slice of heavenly sand and surf. Your family would be lucky to stay here. (And if you can, take advantage of a helicopter tour!)

Great house for our family of 6 vacation. We loved the location and set up of the house. Can’t beat the view of the ocean. Even though on a public beach and next to a resort the house and back yard felt very private.

Amazing Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were thrilled with the location of the Beach House. We were steps away from the beach. The downstairs is spacious and there are several areas to have meals, which was well thought out. The house in the common area opened up completely to the ocean breezed (via sliding glass doors), which was beneficial because there was not any air conditioning and the house was kept cool. The concierges services were very good and responsive. Great house and location for families.

Excellent location, fabulous beach & pool. Plenty of yard space to enjoy sunsets/sunrises. Mgmt easy to work with, all equipment and supplies plentiful. Great breezes through house so didn’t need AC in May. Only issue was refrigerator not working well- we bought ice chests to keep food cold. Dishwasher worked well but leaked. Plan on renting again!!

Another wonderful time

This is our second time at the house. We went once before and loved it so much we brought another family during Spring Break. The location is ideal - minutes from great family activities and seconds from the beach! Everyone had such a great time nobody wanted to leave. The house has everything you could need, and the full kitchen and laundry is perfect for traveling with growing kids who need to eat every other minute. Comfortable and beautiful!

The ocean is perfect for swimming and surfing in this spot. The main floor is welcoming for large groups and good for little kids. The property is well kempt and so useable for games and sunbathing. Needs a new dryer, it's so loud. the refrigerator also needs replacing. That said, we would definitely return.

Needs an air conditioner

The view was very good but the home needs a very good cleaning, the furniture is tired and dirty, the entire inside painted, and most of all the home needs an air conditioner. They did bring a couple of small self contained ac units that vented out of the house windows for the 2 bedrooms downstairs which had 80 year old people sleeping in them. This is not a good home for elderly people because of no air conditioning.
