Map & Owner's Profile
Charming 2 Bedroom Home--100 Yards from Poipu's Baby Beach
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We bought the lot a few years after hurricane Iniki while the cost of lots was still low because it offered us the opportunity to help vacationers experience a really wonderful house in a good location at an affordable rent. This house is a couple of houses removed from the water, and the rent is less than half of those houses less than 100 yards away! This is really one of the best values in Poipu. It is not the best house in the best location, but it is a great house in a very good location at a fair and affordable rent.
The Unique Benefits at this Poipu Luxury Vacation Home
Lushly landscaped yard. Privacy.
Best of all, the open living area promotes family gatherings with places to sit and "talk story", but with plenty of room for everyone to have adequate space.
One of the finest restaurants on Kauai. Make your reservations prior to sunset.
Not too much sand but good snorkeling. People mostly lay on the lawn in front of the Beach House Restaurant.
People ask about the construction in Poipu. Currently this 300 unit, four story condominium is under construction. It is 1/2 mile away and is not causing us any noise or dirt problems.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
Aloha from Jim and Valorie Wisda. We live most of the time in Palos Verdes Estates, California where we raised a wonderful son and daughter. We have been coming to Poipu since 1970 and no matter how often we travel to other places or countries we visit, like this picture in Thailand, we always look forward to coming back to Poipu several times a year.

What a treat! Better than the best hotel! I would never have slept so well. These beds were so comfortable and the towels so fluffy. I love your taste in decorating too!! Well done. We stayed with our 18-month old and he loved Baby Beach and so many of the hikes close by. Thank you!

Dear Wisdas, We enjoyed Kauai so much. One big reason was your cute vacation home here. What a delight! Your beautiful home made us feel at home and like family, too. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Another amazing week in paradise staying in this great little house. The perfect accommodations on the perfect island. Our only wish is that we are somehow adopted by the Wisdas and then allowed to use this place for the rest of our lives. :-) Please treat this space as if it is yours and keep it perfect, folks. We intend to be privileged enough to be allowed to use it for many years to come. A big Mahalo to Jim & Valorie and Aloha to all! See you again soon, Ahe Lani.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here on the island a here in Poipu (especially this cottage!!). Ahe Lani is just like home and so perfectly designed to catch all the tropical breezes! Love the morning "tropical" bird wake up call (ok--and the roosters, too!). Favorite beach was Anini Beach on north shore & Lydgate Park Beach for the kids! Loved Joe's on the Green (Poipu) for breakfast & also Eggberts in Coconut Marketplace near Kapa'a town. Also in Kapa'a MUST try Popo's cookies--Yum!! Also loved Plantation Gardens (Poipu) for dinner. Thanks for everything! We truly felt like "your children" here at Ahe Lani--and you built this place just for us!! We'll be back next year! :-)

We enjoyed our vacation at Ahe Lani a lot--it's like being at home, but at this beautiful island. The house is very well equipped, comfortable, we found everything we've needed. We;ll recommend this place to our friends and come again. Thanks a lot. OWNER'S NOTE: This family reserved the house again for Thanksgiving, 2009.

Thank you very much for this cozy and pleasant time. Every morning waked up by hearing the singing of many birds. Breakfast we took at lanai, this is wonderful time as a beginning of the day. Lanai spreads and expands widely to the far. We became more comfortable day by day. This hideaway house is a very important place. I would like to tell about this house to my friends. We have come to Hawaii about 30 times.
