Accommodations: House, Studio + No additional sleeping rooms avail, 1.5 Baths (Sleeps 1-2)
Keywords: Private Hideaway
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. Don't let the low price fool - we just haven't raised our price as much as others - its easily worth $50 to $100 more/night! We're much closer to the beach than any of the rooms at the Grand Hyatt and the beach is much better (with a lifeguard and a beach where you can actually swim!)
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, palm trees rustling in the tradewinds and the surf breaking on the shore! It is really pretty great!

I have lived on Kauai on this block for over twenty years! I firmly believe its the best location on the entire island. We get to swim with dolphins right out in front of our house!!! I love Hanalei, but are so much happier living in Poipu - its the ideal location if you are a sun lover - tropical, but with maximum sunny days. Its also central as it is about half way between the end of the road in either direction (only about an hour each way), so you can see everything or if its raining in those other places (as it often is), you can just enjoy a day on the beach here!!

Very comfortable, clean, well-maintained and cozy bungalow with pretty much everything you need right there! You can relax with your morning coffee on the lanai and fall asleep to the sound of the surf. We really enjoyed the provided breakfast treats - juice, apple bananas, and local granola. And we especially appreciated the blender for making smoothies and the outdoor shower.

Stop looking and start booking this ideal bungalow for those who want to get the most out of their stay in Kauai. This is the perfect place in the absolute perfect location in Poipu. You can't beat the convenience of a few hundred feet from the beach -- whether you're looking to boogie board, swim or just enjoy the sound of the waves to help you fall asleep at night. This is not a 5 star resort. If you're looking to be just another number at a massive resort complex with crowded swimming pools, long walks to the beach, a noisy atmosphere and overpriced resort food then this is not for you. However, if you're looking for a cost-effective getaway, privacy, the ability to make your own meals at "home", a friendly and attentive host with years of local island knowledge, ideal access to restaurants, beaches and shopping then this is definitely the place for you. The bungalow has everything you need to get the most out of your stay. Having stayed at several locations on the island previously, I can say this is by far the best value and is perfect for couples, newlyweds or others looking to get a piece of real island living. This home is in a quiet neighborhood setting and has easy walking access to 2 different beaches to swim, snorkel, boogie board, or just relax. It is also very likely you'll swim with sea turtles here and see monk seals taking a nap in the sand. Two restaurants and a deli are also within walking distance and I highly recommend walking to Casa D'Amici for dinner. Within a 5 minute drive are many dining options, local markets, shopping, golf and at least 2 other beaches. Please read the owners' guidebook for great recommendations for things to do and places to visit. I'd highly recommend staying at the Bungalow!

Looking for a quiet, close-to-everything gorgeous place to stay in Poipu? Consider this lovely home in a quiet spot just a minute from the beach and Poipu Beach Park. We rented a wing of Deb's second floor since the bungalow was already booked, and were totally pleased with the arrangement. We rode beach bikes around the neighborhood, played ukulele in Poipu Beach Park, walked the beach in the early morning, and gazed out over the ocean from the lanai.Thanks, Deb!

This is a great place to stay if you want privacy + easy, easy beach access. Just a short walk from the best swimming and snorkeling beaches on the south side of Kauai, and just a short drive to Waimea Canyon. The bungalow is the size of an efficiency apartment and has everything you need. We wondered about cooking without a stovetop, but there are so many portable cooking devices it really was no problem. We used the electric griddle, ricemaker, and extra large toaster oven extensively. Debbie is a great hostess and made sure we had everything we needed, including some great advice on local restaurants and shops. We can't wait to come back!

We love staying in B&B's and chose this one for our 10th anniversary and first Kauai visit. The place was beautiful, especially the lanai (porch) for breakfasts and dinners, and the warm outside shower when coming back from the beach with sand. There's plenty of beach gear available - snorkelling, surfing, biking, beach chairs, etc. We went boogie surfing every morning before breakfast with the supplied beach gear. The beach is a 2 min walk away. There's wifi to check email and information, and the kitchen stocked with good food - much of it local and organic. The B&B has it's own entrance with a private feel through the lovely back garden which actually faces the ocean. We highly recommend it as a base for a Kauai visit.

We celebrated our 25th anniversary on the beautiful island of Kaua'i. The bungalow provided everything we could asked for. We debated long and hard about which side of the island to chose, etc, but definately made the right decision. Very private, well maintained, beautiful grounds. Close to beach, horseback riding, the island is very easy to get around. Deb had lots of suggestions, including how to make our vow renewal special (thank you Kelvin!) and was readily available, but very unobtrusive, realizing we were not there be be "party animals" looking for a lot of social interaction but to spend as much quality time together as possible. We were able to hike Waimea and Na Pali, restrict our eating out to once a day to keep expenses down, and really appreciated all the little extras. This is the third time we have done the "wedding vow" thing (church, then captain on a cruise ship with Bora Bora in the background, and now on a secluded beach on Kaua'i). We feel we made a gread decision for possibly a once in a lifetime experience. Hopefully we will be able to go back!

We enjoyed every aspect of the bungalow! It was a perfect vacation for us. We really enjoyed watching the sunset from the porch and the beach accessories in the 'love shack' were such a nice bonus. Grilling fresh fish from the fish market in Koloa, the amazing beaches across the street, falling asleep to the sound of the ocean.....I could go on and on. :) We really hope to come back some day!

Love, love this peace of paradise! I highly recommend The Beach Bungalow, location can't be beat, right across from the beaches, many lovely walks, restaurant etc etc. Debby, the owner will certainly guide you along if you want excursions of any sort, as well as neat places to see, go to eat, find natural food products etc. Debby makes you feel so welcome, with lovely fresh local fruit and granola etc, so nice to arrive and have them waiting to be tried. Truly a vacation of a lifetime, we will be back! Thanks again Debby, Leanne and Graham

I can't add much to what the other reviewers said about how well stocked the place was and all the extra amenities Debbie supplies. The bungalow is in a great location (walking distance to beaches and restaurants). What I can say is that my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed enjoyed all 8 of our days we stayed there. We use VRBO from Mexico to Hawaii and Debbie's place is on top of our ratings list.I would give it 6 stars if I could. Tom & Lark 3/11/11-3/19/11

Charming Bungalow So Close to the Beach

Review Submitted: 03/14/11
What a wonderful spot! The bungalow is well stocked with beautiful views of the gardens and peek-a-boo beach views as well. The coffee, fruit, juice and granola were such a nice touch, and it was great having our own private lanai and use of the BBQ. The "love shack" had beach chairs, body boards and assorted snorkel gear for our use as well. This is a great value for a great stay. Our stay also including the tsunami warning and Debby was kind enough to move us uphill to her other property when the evacuation call came through. We really appreciated her help - it beat sleeping in our rental car!
