Location: Private Homes, Poipu, South Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA (property is located in Poipu which is part of Koloa)
Accommodations: Private Hideaway, Studio, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 1-2)
Our ocean view vacation home is located on the Garden Island of Kauai on the sunny south shore. The beauty of Poipu awaits you at our brand-new Hawaiian plantation-style home located right next to Brennecke's Beach (world famous for body surfing) and Poipu Beach Park. Many have said that this is the prettiest house in Poipu.
Get lulled to sleep by the peaceful sound of waves breaking on the shore at Brennecke's. Check the surf at Left-lefts and Waiohai from the lanai. We are NOT a few minutes drive to the beach we are AT THE BEACH. It is a 45-second walk from your door step until you are swimming in the ocean at Brennecke's Beach located at the east end of Poipu Beach park. Poipu Beach has the only lifeguard on the south shore. It has very protected areas for swimming, snorkeling, body surfing, and boogie boarding with great surfing on the outside reef. Even though sunny Poipu Beach is the most popular beach on island, you have it all to yourself in the mornings - everyone else has to drive here, you see!
The studio is a darling hideaway-great for everyone-but especially nice for newly-weds. Honeymoons and Hawaii are synonymous, you know! Champagne will greet all honeymooners! Any milestone 10th, 25th, 50th anniversaries will also get the royal treatment-just let us know in advance.
Our place is less than a minute's walk from your lanai until you are in the water at Brennecke's Beach. The snorkeling right out in front is fabulous-lots of turtles and even dolphin on occasion! We have had many honeymooners stay with us who return year after year. It is such a great spot-close to everything, but still private and quiet.
The Bungalow is a private studio with small kitchenette (microwave, large toaster oven and refrigerator with separate freezer that keeps ice cream at just the right temperature, sink, plus outdoor gas BBQ with side burner), small dining and living area, and private lanai and of course a private bathroom. There is an outdoor shower with hot water for after the beach rinseoffs, in addition to the private bath inside with a porcelain bathtub/shower.
The Bungalow is on the first floor of our home, below our bedroom. We wrapped it up (ceiling and walls) with soundboard so we would not hear any noise, and vice versa, and it worked great! You honestly feel like you are in your own separate place. It's very private, yet we are close if you have questions.
We sit one lot back from the ocean. There is a two-lane road which runs along the shoreline. There are no houses on the ocean side of the road. It is only a service road to the houses in this area so there is not a lot of traffic as it is not a thoroughfare. There is a pretty good ocean view directly in front of the Bungalow as there is a large opening between the two one-story homes in front of us. You see the ocean with only a few giant palm trees waving in the breeze in the distance. We are on a flag lot, so we are far enough away from the road that you get no traffic noise-nothing but the sound of birds and surf breaking on the shore! It is really pretty great!

FROM OUR PAPER GUESTBOOK: Dearest Deb & Jim, When we decided on a Hawaii Christmas this year we thought of all the places we might stay. In the past we "checked into" such well known properties and enjoyed wonderful vacations at "Mauai Lani" on the Big Island - as well as The Rock Resort "Mauna Kea". We were guests for two years at the "Lodge at Koele" and "Manalani Bay Resort". The hotels we stayed in were the "Grand Welea" on Maui and "Kapalu Resort" on the same island. Let us hasten to say that we had lovely vacations at all of those resorts. When were checking out more intimate, non "resort" types of places we came upon "Brennecke's Beach Bungalow". Frommers gave it a rave review. We called and fell in love with you on the phone. Your authenticity and class was the big seller. We decided to stay where someone with such class was in charge. Far from being disappointed, we were enchanted not only with the physical beauty of the home, the Bungalow, the views - You took care of so many minute details even down to reading material and beach gear. The stocked fridge was a delightful surprise. We enjoyed rising early (still on Dallas time): fabulous coffee out on the Lanai watching creation unfold before we set off on many adventures - or sitting ono Poipu Beach. We loved watching the surfers dance on the waves. Unless you're into snorkeling, we found the public beach in front of the Hyatt stunning and less crowded (not a swimming beach though!) You can lunch at the Hyatt (great food at great prices) We ate, drank and golfed at the Hyatt but still got to come back to our cozy, beautiful love cottage. The two best dining choices for us was Casa di Amici (right around the corner - you can walk to it from the Bungalow) and The Beach House which is right on the water - a MUST at sunset. Debby and Jim - we thank you for your kindness, your friendliness and your superb hospitality. We've stayed at many 5 star resorts all over the world. We give your property a 6! Our love and gratitude, Jane and Bob Handly

COPIED FROM OUR PAPER GUESTBOOK: Our first trip to the Islands, and you helped us achieve the Kauai State-of-mind. Your hospitality and this little slice of paradise made our anniversary unforgettably amazing. This island and its people and places far surpassed our expectations. Experience not to be missed: The trek to Polihale beach for our own private mile strech of perfect sand, snorkeling with sea turtles and dolphins off of Brennecke's Beach, exploring the wet caves near Ke'e beach, The Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour, hiking Waimea to Waipoo falls, dining at Roy's & The Beach House - but most of all, just relaxing on the lanai for candlelit dinners under The South Cross with our good frineds the toads! Thanks for thinking of everything a couple could need. We've already begun scheming to make another trip - KEEP IT UP! PS Thanks to Jim for the local fauna/flora lessons, showing us the place to surf and worldy wisdom!
