Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
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.
The Unique Benefits at this House
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 fenced backyard were a great place for the kids to play.
This beautiful resort hotel fronts Shipwreck Beach - a great surfing or boogieboarding beach.
This beach park has restrooms, a childrens playground, picnic tables & BBQ's, gazebos with shade, and a children's wading area separated from the main ocean by a rock wall. Great for younger swimmers
The Poipu Kai pool is reserved for those guests staying in private homes. The 8 tennis courts are very well maintained. Drop-in round robins are held every Tues, Thurs and Sat.
Start the cliff-walk hike at the end of Shipwreck Beach. Hike up the cliff and then along the cliffs next to the ocean for as far as you want until you reach the golf course. Return the same way or
Owner's Map of Private Homes
We live in the California Bay Area. We have 3 school-age 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.

I just wanted to let you know we had a wonderful vacation on Kauai. I've taken my mother and sister to all four major islands where we've stayed in houses we found on vrbo. We all agreed that yours was the best. The design of the house is great and it is very comfortably and attractively furnished. The weather was perfect too.

I just wanted to report that we enjoyed our Kauai vacation very much. We just got back home to Michigan today. Your house (1725 Kelaukia) is more than perfect. We felt immediately at home there. It is a beautiful place with all of the necessities and the extras we needed to be comfortable. The house is so nice and in a great neighborhood, in a lovely location. With two "extra" bedrooms, we felt like we should be sharing the house, but we were happily selfish, and loved having it all to ourselves. We enjoyed strolling the Green Belt, to Poipu Beach on one end and the Hyatt on the other. We loved the u-shaped design of the house - the way it opens to the courtyard and patio, but offers privacy at the same time. We will certainly recommend the house as the perfect lodging space to anyone we hear of that is going to Kauai. If we have the opportunity to return to Kauai, we will not hesitate to contact you so we can enjoy the house again. Thanks!

My family and I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the house. It is so beautiful! We loved the privacy and the cool breezes that flowed throughout. Our 2 year old especially enjoyed the bath tub which she called the swimming pool. Thank you again!
