Poipu Villa Vista is a "Multi-Million Dollar" custom designed asian inspired five bedroom, three bathroom home that is set on the rim of a dormant crater. Upon your arrival you will know that you are "Somewhere Special". The lushly landscaped grounds include orchids, tropical plants, banana and palm trees which greet you swaying in the gentle breezes.
Travel+Leisure Magazine 2008 rates Island of Kauai #3 of top 10 overall islands in the world.
Step inside this tropically appointed home and fresh orchid plants catch your eye and draw your gaze to a 40 foot wall of glass paneled mahogany doors which lead out into your very own private tropical garden with a lava rock sunken spa and pond with a walkway that winds you through a rainbow of colored tropical flowers and palms.
Drift off to the sound of cascading waters that splash into the lava rock pond with water lilies floating atop while you observe the array of tropical birds that fly and perch in and out of the private garden. Or you may enjoy the spa after a round of golf or tennis or in the evening while you gaze up at the stars and planets. Your very own private retreat!
The front of the home boasts panoramic views ranging from ocean, mountain, crater, and golf course (17th hole PGA course) which are fully enjoyed out the huge view windows or step out onto the immense wrap around and fully tiled lanai where a spectacular daily sunrise may be enjoyed. Views of Shipwreck Beach and Whale watching during season!
Large glass paneled mahogany doors fold up allowing the outdoors in. Cushioned teak furniture invites you to sun on the deck or the covered area of the lanai provides a protected sitting and eating area or just snuggle up to your favorite book with a place to set your tropical drink or glass of wine.
When you finally make your way back indoors you will find it tastefully appointed in an Asian/Bali design reflecting style and grace w/natural bamboo and quartzite flooring and a Hawaiian open and spacious floor plan. A custom gourmet kitchen with an island and granite counter tops over red oak cabinets and breakfast bar seating for four persons. The dining area has seating for up to 10 persons at a formal but relaxed setting. Special sconces and lighting can be dimmed and adjusted to set the mood.
Enjoy the garden from inside the home lounging on hand carved teak seating areas accented with pillows and cushions with your comfort in mind. The incredible design literally brings the outdoors inside. Kauai’s peaceful atmosphere is experienced throughout the home.
The large living room has natural bamboo floors and is situated on the other end of the home with two exits to the spacious wrap around lanai where the panoramic views are ever changing and enjoyed - you may listen to CDs/your IPOD or watch a movie or sporting event on 42" PLASMA HDTV Home Theater system w/surround sound stereo speakers.
Comfortable seating with a large well cushioned couch, love seat, upholstered chairs and ottoman and auxiliary chair with plenty of cushy pillows. There is a custom "Tommy Bahama" rug with a Hawaiian print that adds warmth to the seating area.
Poipu Villa Vista is set up on two levels which offers privacy to families traveling together and is ideal for family reunions. The first level is entered through large double French doors. This unit is ideal for persons having trouble climbing steps since it is on the grade level. There is a full second kitchen with granite counter tops and all new appliances including a large side by side refrigerator freezer with water and ice in the door, microwave and full oven and stove.

This room has mahogany doors that fold back and fully open into a "private" area of the tropical garden.
The master suite is appointed with double sink granite vanity, private toilet closet. You step down into a custom lava rock and tiled shower, large enough for two, and imagine yourself in a cascading waterfall in a tropical rain forest as you gaze out in privacy and enjoy tropical plants, palms and distant mountain vistas in total relaxation.

I am the owner of a Commercial Real Estate Company in New Jersey and have over 25 years of Commercial Real Estate experience and over 200 million dollars in personal sales in my career. My expertise is in listing, contract negotiations, marketing and property development. I was all about business. I wanted to do something more creative and fun.
Back in 1998 I had a conversation with a woman while traveling from Kauai who was in the high end home vacation rental business. She had homes all over the world and this intrigued me. I started to research information and bought my first property in Goodyear Az., Estrella Mountain Ranch a custom home with a pool and spa and great views! I went on and purchased Poipu Villa Vista in Kauai, Hawaii with ocean, golf course, mountain and crater views and an international vacation home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico with a rooftop deck and views of the entire city. Our latest purchase was in Lake Como, New Jersey USA a seaside community a half block from the lake and eight blocks from the ocean.
Owning vacation properties gives me a chance to be creative in renovating and decorating these custom homes to correspond to thier locations. Our goal is to have the stay for our guests become a special and unique experience. We live in a stressful world and each property has a calming effect that our guests love. They let us know we have achieved this by thier comments!

We had a great time at your home celebrating a 79th birthday for "Grandpa" and a 20th birthday for Sarah. The beach at Poipu was great for our kids who were 11 and 13. The smallest (2) enjoyed Salt pond as well. We enjoyed the Saferi helicoptor tour of the island and the zip-line Kayak adventures. The house wa great with plenty of space for all and a kitchen which allowed us to make fantastic food for our group of 11. Perfect! Mahalo!!

We enjoyed your fabulous home. Poipu is one of our favorite spots. The weather was gorgeous and the breezes wonderful. We saw many turtles and even seals at Brenneke's and Poipu beaches. Went on a fantastic catamaran trip up the Napali Coast where we saw spinner dolphins, colorful fish and eel. The older "kids" has blast at Kipu Falls and the younger kids loved Saltpond Beach for swimming and bodysurfing. We has a special 50th Wedding Anniversary for our parnets at the Smith's Luau. The entire family enjoyed the gounds, food, and show. Coming back to your beautiful home each day made our vacation even better. Mahalo The Menice family

The Big Hawaii- 5-0! Not just for the islands! Me too! My brothers and cousin came-each with our spouses plus my nephew and his bride. The upstairs master suite was the "Bridal Suite"! We enjoyed our stay-although we do need to come back one day! Amenities are great- we added to the beach accessories. Enjoyed the turtles right out in front of the Marriott. Weather was good too. Thanks for keeping such a wonderful home open to "visitors"! We loved being able to share our dinners all together at one table. God bless you and your family Mahalo The Risk, Becksler and Phipp "Ohanas"

Aloha, Thank you so much for allowing us to stay. This house made us feel like we were on MTV real world. We are going to miss the beautiful view that we woke up to every morning and the 5 minute drive to the beach. It's hilarious how none of us figured how to get the fans to run faster until 2 days before our departure (hee-hee) For our last dinner together we are at Yum-Cha and our first Pouka dogs. We all are going to miss this place and the beautiful island. If another oppourtuniy comes up for to do it again, we'd love to stay here. Every thing we needed was pretty much available to us, even alarm clocks. We liked the roosters rooting in the morning, the monk seals are adorable too. So again, thank you so much for every thing Elizabeth, James, Todd, Tommy, Sharon, Stacey, Chrissy, Debbie and Jim.

Mahalo for the most beautiful home we shared with our family and friends. We came together for our daughter wedding on May 11. We couldn't have found a loveier location for our joyous gathering.

Thanks so much for the beautiful house! We had 4 couples and had plenty of room. We really appreciated the wonderful lanai and the well stocked kitchen. We also made use of the beach chairs and boogie boards. The beaches were the main event for our stay and we'd love to come back and stay another week. Hopefully we'll be back again. Mahalo
