About this property

Fall special for months of October & November. See calendar

Aloha! Come bring your ohana (family) and friends to sit on our beautiful wrap around patio at our beautiful Pu'uhonua (place of refuge) with breathtaking tropical views. The great room and kitchen are the heart of Pu'uhonua located on the 2nd floor featuring wrap around windows making it feel like you are experiencing the outside from within. This arrangement allows guests the option of making meals at home while still enjoying every part of Kauai's beauty. The amazingly grand lanai allows for outdoor dining under the stars providing a large gathering area, but Pu'uhonua also offers the privacy of three bedrooms (1 upstairs and 2 downstairs) each having their own complete bathroom and private tranquil lanai. Each room has its own ceiling fan for additional comfort with the cool tropical trade wind breeze. For those of you who need to stay in touch with the real world we offer free wireless internet service.

When you are on vacation it is all about location and our open air Pu'uhonua home sits in the lushly landscaped 70 acre Poipu Kai Resort conveniently located between Shipwrecks Beach and Poipu
Beach. Poipu Beach has been rated as one of the top ten beaches in North America featuring a peaceful 'baby beach' for keiki (child) to play in the sun, while still staying cool. If you are interested in snorkeling, then Poipu beach can offer you a variable paradise of beautiful and exotic tropical fish. If you are more of a boogie boarding thrill seeker then Shipwrecks Beach is the place for you with some of the best surf on the island. The best part about all of this is that these beaches are simply a 15 minute walk on the green belt of Poipu Kai and we will provide everything you will need to enjoy a day at the beach including snorkel gear, boogie boards, umbrellas, coolers, beach chairs, mats, and beach towels!!!

If you need a break from the beach, this rental is also apart of the Poipu Kai Resort Complex allowing access to numerous amenities including resort pool, jacuzzi, and multiple tennis courts. If you are interested in taking a swing at Kauai's most prestigious golf courses than you need to look no further than Poipu. Our rental is down the road to the Poipu Bay Golf course, which is home to the illustrious PGA Grand Slam.

Historic Koloa Town, Poipu Shopping Center, and Kukui'ula Village Shopping Center are about 3 miles away from the rental offering a mixture of amazing restaurants (Keoki's and Roy's are amazing), unique shops, and convenient grocery stores. Poipu is ideally located on the sunny south side of the island with equal traveling distance between the lushly vibrant North Shore and the scenic 'West Side' with it's breathtaking Waimea Canyon (The Grand Canyon of the Pacific) and the spectacular shear cliffs of the Na Pali Coast all seen from Koke'e State Park.

Having all of this adds up to a restful and invigorating stay on this beautiful Garden island of Kauai! E komo mai (come and enjoy)!!

The location of the property was beautiful, situated in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The check-in process was seamless and efficient. However, we did encounter a few issues during our stay. One of the guests experienced itching after using the duvet cover, which was concerning. Additionally, small cockroaches appeared from the shower drain, which was quite unpleasant. The sound of the shower faucet was also extremely loud, making it somewhat uncomfortable to use.

Fabulous Family stay for ages 15-80

We hope to return. It is a magical home.Perfect location, property & amenities. Excellent communication with the host. I had trouble with the key to the pool gate, so we weren’t able to see the pool/hot tub after a walk, but we preferred the beaches. I’m curious if other times of the year are hotter, because my mother-in-law took some time to get used to the fact that like most homes in Hawaii, they don’t have full house AC, but have excellent ocean breezes,

The best vacation ever!

Our time at this house was so so amazing! I have three kids ages 12,14,24 this house was so perfect for us literally could not have been better! Each of us had so much privacy we all were able to feel so at home! My oldest had the room with the queen bed and he was surprised the first use of the bathroom with a spray in the face we all died laughing there is a bidet so be warned but we all had a good laugh! We loved the location we would all walk barefoot to the beach at sunset to literally swim with the sea turtles. While we watched the sunset! Our time was so magical and I don’t think it could have been better!

Beautiful beach house

This house felt like our home! A great place to start off our day with a big hearty breakfast, and be able to come home at the end of our day exploring the island and make a delicious dinner in a short amount of time. The amenities were great and we had everything we needed - well stocked kitchen tools and dishes/cookware for cooking. Comfortable living and sleeping areas. Great location with a short walk to multiple beaches in the area. Enjoyed the use of the pool and hot tub not too far walking distance away.

Home Away From Home

The check-in process was so easy!! Communication back and forth with the owner was effortless. If I had a question, Heddy responded promptly without hesitation. Once we were checked in, we enjoyed getting to know more about the home and the area and island in a collection of notes and literature kept on the coffee table. We were over 5,000 miles away from home, yet we had the comforts of home. The kitchen had quite a few staples in terms of basic oils and seasonings and any kind of cookware or dishes you may need. I loved that we could have the convenience of cooking some meals at home. One of my favorite things about the home was how each bedroom had its own little private lanai. Everyone had their own space to get away from the group if needed or to read one of the many novels and books throughout the home. Our family also appreciated the on site laundry facilities and having access to numerous snorkel gear sets and boogie boards and beach chairs. Nothing beats the Poipu beaches. We were on the island for a family wedding and the location offered activities and things to do for a variety of age groups. We loved our stay and would love to come back here in the future!

Roach Motel Stay Away!

We came to Kauai for a family wedding. Our first day and night were great. From then on it was a mess. 2nd evening here, a huge (2 inches long I have pics to prove it)cockroach runs across the center island and down the side of the cabinet. We chase accross the floor to kill it and it climbed straight up the wall. After moving furniture 3 of us were able to surround it and kill it. Later same night 3 a.m., my daughter and partner wake up TWICE to find 2 more roaches IN BED with them. Texted owner and she tried to tell me some line about that's life on the island. I have been to Kauai twice as well as 3 trips to other islands. I have never, ever shared my living space with cockroaches. She hooked me up with their pest control company and had me work with them to get the house sprayed. The pest control person told me they call these type of roaches B52 Bombers because they are so big. Found out later that my husband had killed 2 the first day but didn't tell me because he didn't want me to get upset. All totalled we killed 7. 4 before the spray and 3 after also 1 found dead after spray and 1 got away the last night there. They are in the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen which means they are crawling over dishes and utensils. We washed every plate and fork and glass before we used it. My daughter ended up sleeping on the sofa and was a jittery mess the rest of the trip. We had 40 other family members on the island this week for a destination wedding, staying in various hotels and home rentals, not one of them saw a single roach. I attempted to obtain some manner of refund or recompense from the owner and her response was that the previous renter didn't see any bugs nor did the housekeeper. She stopped just short of calling me a liar and finally texted "NO!" and that was the last communication I recived. We also noted that previous guests signed their house guest book and made mention of the big cockroaches and even drew a picture in the book. This has obviously been a problem for some time as that entry was dated 2020! Now my biggest fear is that I may have brought one home with me in my luggage. Left our bags out in the yard to unpack just to be safe. What a nightmare!!!

We have been to several islands but this house was by far the most comfortable place we’ve stayed in. Spacious and well stocked. It had most of what was needed for a perfect vacation. Hedy provided beach necessities, like toys, towels, chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, etc. What really caught my eye was how well organized and labeled everything was. My family and I all agreed that this felt like a home away from home!

Great Location

I really liked that it was quiet and right next to the grass/Path walk way down to a.good view beach. Good restaurants and snorkeling/surfing was less than 10 minutes away (I didnt surf). I did golf the corse that was 3 mintues down the road, Poipu Bay and it was great, pricy, but great views. I was there for a week long golf trip and didnt want to do the hotel/condo thing and this place was perfect.

Great Home For Large Group

We were a group of scuba divers who need lots of space to rinse, hang and dry our scuba gear. The house was wonderful for this purpose. In particular, there is a large deck area for drying equipment. This is an older home, yet was very clean and well equiped for our group. We did not have any issues during our stay so interaction with the property manager was limited. We were grateful to be allowed access to the garage which is where the washer / dryer are located. Beds and bedrooms were comfortable, AC and fans were very effective. We would definately stay at this home again.

Wonderful stay in Poipu

Great house just off the greenbelt that connects Poipu Kai to the Grand Hyatt. The location is excellent. The house was very comfortable for our group of 4 adults and 2 children. The house is very well stocked with beach supplies (towels, chairs, mats, boogie boards, wagon, snorkles, flippers) which allowed to enjoy days at the many nearby beaches. The rental provides access to the large swimming pool near Kalapaki Joe's. There is also a tennis centre which can be used for a modest fee and has numerous courts for tennis and pickle ball. The host was extremely accommodating and allowed us to have a late check-out which was very much appreciated as we had a late flight home. Overall a great property in an amazing location.

This booking was a nightmare! We arrived for checkin a little after 5 as check in is not till that time. We were on a tight schedule as we had dinner to go to for a relatives birthday. We were shocked to arrive with nothing cleaned, beds not made, dirty linens on one of the beds, dirty towels, dirty sinks, cockroaches, ants, hair, dirty floors, dirty kleenex on bathroom counters, old food all in the fridge, others belongings and so much more! I pulled the dirty linens off of the main bed upstairs and there was grass all over the bed protector and even worse all the pillows had large yellow stains on them! We messaged this host but we got no response, we called VRBO who contacted the host and said she told them she got no messages which was false. We had to leave for dinner and it wasnt till another half hour later that she responded to the messages she claimed "she never got". We were upset and asked for a refund as we did not want to stay there with as filthy as it was and with what the actual bedding looked like. The host insisted this was fixable and was sending her cleaner while we were out to dinner. We got back and it was poorly cleaned! Same linen and same nasty bedding and pillows yet host insists on only a one night refund as she claims this was fixable and "we chose to leave" How can someone justify allowing guests to sleep on nasty bedding like that under those circumstances! We were fooled by previous reviews!!!! Would never recommend this place!

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I are both from the Mid-West who fell in love with the island while stationed as a military family. We lived on this beautiful island for over 18 years after I retired from the military and raised two of our four children here. Only the lure of our kids and grandchildren has pulled us back to the mainland

Why they chose this property

After living on this island for approximately 20 years we invite you to come and experience the gentle trade winds, the tranquil beaches and the majestic mountains of this magical island. We invite you and yours to come and fill this house with your own fond memories and incredible experiences.
