Why the Owner Chose Poipu Crater
We have been visiting Kauai since the late 70's and found ourselves especially attracted to the Poipu Beach area. Always sunny and never crowded. When we decided to purchase our own property we asked locals for the best location and we were told about this very special, private and lush tropical setting in the heart of Poipu. As soon as we entered the grounds we discovered a different and magical world with unique architecture in a quiet and spacious garden locale.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Fully equipped, meticulously maintained, two bedroom and two bathroom villa in a very private setting.
Owner's Map of Poipu Crater
We are retired, living on Vancouver Island (Canada)and own this beautiful island home - for nearly 15 years now. One of the pleasures that we enjoy with our vacation home is updating and maintaining the tropical atmosphere and providing visitors with a perfect holiday destination.

My sincere thanks for the accommodations, this is a very nice place you have there in the crater (#14). We had a great time on Kauai. This island really is paradise on earth. We visited Oahu before coming here and we are going to Mauai next. All I have to say Maui has some big shoes to fill because Kauai is the best island yet. Thanks again and we hope to be able to come back. Mahalo!

We absolutely enjoyed our first trip to Kauai and staying in your villa! It was everything we expected, and more. The suite was clean, well maintained, well equipped and just plain gorgeous! (The wine was a nice touch too.) We were pleasantly surprised by all the amenities, both quantity and quality, as far as kitchenware, TVs, radios, recreational equipment and linens. It truly felt like a home away from home. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer and see more of the beautiful island. We are already planning on returning soon, only this time without the kids. The quiet location was appreciated as it allowed us to really relax and unwind immediately after arriving. We have already recommended your villas to family and friends comtemplating a trip to Kauai. Maybe in the future we can discuss with you the logistics of Canadians owning rental properties in Hawaii, as this trip has piqued our interest. We sincerely appreciated the accurate representation of your villa on the website, especially after being greatly disappointed in our accomodations in Maui. Mahalo (many times over), Doug & Janette Appelt

We have been to the Islands 5 or 6 times, our second trip to Kauai. Your condo was the best by far! Can't think of a thing you could add. We walked in and said "Wow"! We were in #14 from June 24 to July 3. It was like walking into my own home. The extra outdoor items were well used at the beach. I felt like I could cook whatever I wanted without restriction from not having the proper kitchen appliance. The unit was extremely clean and the whole area was just wonderful!
