A perfect vacation home. Private, yet friendly, Views to die for, Cool, Classy, Comfortable. Will be back on our next visit to Kauai.

What a beautiful house! We loved the spectacular view and location that was close to everything. The house is about equal distance to two of the best beaches on the South shore and made for an enjoyable walk. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We had more than enough room for a party of seven and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We would definitely recommend and hope to return some day. Thanks!!!!

Stunning Views! Bird of Paradise Private Pool Walk to Beaches
Year Purchased: 1992
Why the Owner Chose Crestview
After looking at all the other Hawaiian islands ( excluding Molokai) it became obvious to us Kauai was by far the most beautiful and had the most friendly locals. We like water sports, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling etc. and we also liked the green lace like mountains of Kauai. Poipu had both great mountain views, some of the best beaches on the island and great snorkeling and easy access to Mahalepu our favorite beach for windsurfing. Our house has panoramic 270 degree views of the beautiful Hau'pu and Waimea mountain ranges great views of the sunrise in the morning. Our house is on the shoulder of the last active crater on Kauai and because of its high location nothing blocks this spectacular views!
The Unique Benefits at this House
This Bird of Paradise home is in a very good location. We love walking to the shipwreck beach in the morning to watch the sunrise and some days we walk to Poipu Beach (toward west) to watch the sunset. The home is in Poipu Kai resort which stretches from the shipwreck beach to the Poipu Beach Park with pleasant walking paths and scenic greenbelts. The resort also has a large pool and spa whichour son likes a lot. Most of all we love the spectacular 270 degree views. We love to be on the front lanai watching the changing shades of green on the mountains with the sun and the stars at night. We also love to eat outdoors on the covered lanai listening to the chirping birds some of whom come to ask for food.
Panoramic views! sweeping from ocean to partial golf, mountain ranges and crater.
Walk from Bird of Paradise through greenbelt of Poipu Kai resort. Poipu beach, best beach in USA - three white crescent lagoons, great for snorkeling, surfing, small lagoon for small children, play gr
PGA grand slam, Good restaurants, nice landscape. You can start walk/ jog from Bird of Paradise to the golf easily. They allow people walk in/out before 7am.
Starting point at Shipwreck beach (Kawailoa Bay), climb up the cliff and walk along the coast line and the lithified sand dune bluff of Makawehi Point. Great spot to see sunrise and whales watching
You can see this crater directly from Bird of Paradise home. Check our website at www.BirdofParadise-home.com
Owner's Map of Crestview
We are a family of four. Erdogan, Ning, Deniz and Bora Gulari. We live in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Erdogan is a professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ning is a research engineer in the Electrical Engineering department. Bora is a graduate of the Aerospace Engineering Department and is a very accomplished sailor and currently spends most of his time sailing big boats. Deniz is a 6th grader full of curiosity.
We all live by "be honest, work hard, play hard and enjoy life" Erdogan bought this Bird of Paradise Home in June 1992, a few months before the hurricane Iniki hit Kauai on September 11, 1992. At the time he was also the association president for the Makanui Condo Association and he came to the Island with the first flights from the mainland, bringing a generator along to power several of the neighboring homes. He also brought lots of tarpaulin (some of which you may still see in the garage) to distribute to neighbors and use in covering holes in the roof which we and the neighbors did get. We are planning to live in this home when we retire so we take care of it the best way we can and put all our effort and labor of love into it. We enjoy our vacations in Kauai and love to share the same experiences with you.
We started managing Bird of Paradise home and Hawaiian Hibiscus vacation rental home ourselves with the help of Kay & Bill Oldham, in May 2006. Before that the home was managed by a well-known management company with a nightly rate of $400-450* in 2005. We decided to take control after we found out that our management company actually charged 10-15% extra for our return guests who wanted to come back to Bird of Paradise home.
We value our guests very much and want to remain friends and share our love of Kauai with them. We are pleased to offer our high quality home to Kauai lovers at an affordable rental rate.
Mahalo and enjoy our Beautiful Kauai Island

Your home is just that a HOME. We felt so comfortable in it. Even with ten people we did not feel crowded at all. The view overlooking everything was great! And once we understood the beltways - you could really get around to everything we needed. Thank-you! for making our first family vacation an experience we will want to do again soon. Mahalo - Rosa Whipple P.S. Duane's burgers(Anahola) are better than Bubba's and JoJo's Shaved Ice(Waimea)is the best!

Perfect home for families wanting to relax and take in what Kauai has to offer. House had all amenities you possibly would need and more space to spread out in. Everyone could have privacy along with large open spaces for the entire group to get together and enjoy. Loved the fact you could see the ocean where the whales were playing and also look out at the mountains. Thanks for making our trip a success.

Thank you Ning for sharing your wonderful home. We had a Christmas and New years family reunion we will never forget.We were 6 adults and 2 children and there was plenty of room and privacy for all. Everything you could possibly need was provided for, from two washers and dryers to boogie boards,beach towels ,a well stocked kitchen and a beautiful view. We also loved the pool.We will definitely stay in this home again if we are ever in the area. Mahalo

The Bird of Paradise rental property was as it was described and more in person. When deciding on this rental, The owner was readily available and most friendly. It is apparent that the owner and her family take pride in their properties. Although a little dated, the property is set so that it has spectacular views from three sides of the front and sitting areas that allow you to take it all in. It's also located close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. A car is recommended though. I loved "all" of the beaches so much that we kept beach chairs and towels in the trunk of the car. The treat however was finding local "grind" at the fish market(s). Don't be afraid to ask someone where to find "real" Hawaiian experiences. I would certainly recommend this rental to anyone.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

The Bird of Paradise rental home was as it was listed and even more spectacular in person. When deciding on this rental, the owner, Ning, was very friendly and was readily available when I had questions. It was apparent that Ning and her family take pride in their properties and in making renters feel comfortable. Although a little dated, the home was clean and well equipped. It's located close to all of the activities, restaurants and shopping centers. I really liked the journals that are being kept. They give a "real" spin on what to do while on the island. We loved the close proximities of the beaches (we kept beach chairs and towels in the car) and the local food "plates" that we finally found at the fish market(s). I would certainly recommend this property to anyone. It's a home away from home!

The Bird of Paradise Home was perfect for my husband and myself plus our growing family (total of six adults and one baby There is plenty of room for individuals to maintain space and privacy as well as gather together. The location is ideal for beaches as well as other island activities. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could possibly want or need. The lanai is a heavenly setting for an outdoor massage. The wireless Internet, TV, and I-Pod docking station are all there if you need a break from nature. Ning has done a superior job of gathering useful information and making it available to her guests. She has taken exceptional care to anticipate her guests' needs and questions, and she went the extra mile to recognize and accommodate needs specific to our group. If you are looking for this type of accommodation for your Kauai vacation, we highly recommend the Bird of Paradise Home. You won't want to leave!

Aloha Ning,Our family can honestly say...we have found the Bird of Paradise home and Poipu Kauai a piece of Heaven on Earth. Every 14 days of our stay was delightful. The home was so comfortable with everything set up for us. We loved the beach things surely the boogie boards and beach chairs. We barbequed most nights and fully enjoyed the large patio which we all had our morning coffee and had most of our meals together in the evenings. This was a perfect vacation home. We will surely return. A Hui Hou, Mahalo

FABULOUS! Bird of Paradise home was just what we needed for a home away from home. Ning, you were truly wonderful with your emails to get us all set up! The gorgeous home was spacious. The wrap-around lanai was perfect. The comfy couches and beds were so inviting. Cooking dinner in this kitchen was such fun! We were close to walk to Shipwreck Beach by the Hyatt, and Poipu Beach for body surfing. The view was to die for! Seeing the palm trees waving and the Kauai mountains from our lanai was a bit of PARADISE. From the moment we walked up the stairs, the home was inviting. The extra bedroom suite off the lanai was private and fabulous. WE THANK YOU, Ning, for the great week at B.O.P. We'll be back!!

Aloha Ning,Loved the house...perfect spot for three generations of our family to hang out and enjoy Kauai. Bill was awesome...answered all my questions...very friendly and informative. We loved the big kitchen...nice to have good pots and pans! My granddaughters loved their cute room with the surfboard and Hawaiian decor. We would definitely book Bird of Paradise again. I have sent your website to several friends who are interested in staying at Bird of Paradise. Thanks for offering your home at a reasonable price. Mahalo,Kathy
