Backyard of Sansei Hale is private Waikomo Steam flowing into Turtle Cove
Location: Private Homes, Poipu, South Kauai, Kauai, Hawaii, USA
Accommodations: Vacation Home, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
"Sansei Hale" (Third Generation House) was built in 2005. It is a luxury vacation rental home overlooking the beautiful private Waikomo Stream as it meets the ocean in Turtle Cove, Poipu. It has three bedrooms (2 kings and 1 twin set) and three full bathrooms in a stunning, private setting. Both king beds are "Select-Comfort Dual Control." All bedrooms, living and dining have remote controlled AC units and ceiling fans throughout. The home has easy ground access to the large downstairs area that encompasses one bedroom/bath, living room, kitchen, dining area, and a spacious covered lanai with ocean and river views. Barbecue on the lanai, watch the stream roll into the Pacific Ocean, and enjoy the starry nights while falling asleep to the wonderful sounds of the stream and ocean.
The fully-equipped kitchen features granite countertops, with a center island and bar stools. The dining area, which seats six, is open to a living room featuring an entertainment center, 42" flat screen TV with TIVO, DVD player, and CD sound system. Slate floors and island-style furnishings complement the setting. The grounds are lush with tropical flowers and trees and cooled by the ocean trade winds. Steps take you to the stream below and to Turtle Cove, true to its name each evening.
The second floor has an ocean viewing deck, 2 bedrooms/2 baths and a bonus room with a queen sofa bed. The cathedral-ceiling bonus room also has a wet bar with mini-refrigerator and microwave. The entire home can accommodate eight people, with two king-size beds, two twins, and a queen sofa. The sleeping areas allow for space, comfort, and privacy for a wonderful island experience for couples and/or the entire family.
World famous Poipu Beach Park and Spouting Horn are a about a mile down the coast. Baby Beach is one block away and the National Botanical Gardens are walking distance from the home. Koloa Landing, an excellent snorkeling and shore scuba diving spot, is just off the shore of the river mouth which is adjacent to the house. It is also known as Turtle Cove as turtles gather there throughout the year as their sleeping spot. Tennis, Golf (including Poipu Bay, home of the PGA Grand Slam), and excellent surfing are within minutes, yet the setting is very private. Fine dining abounds, ranging from elegant to casual, garden settings to oceanfront.
We hope you come to visit our Sansei Hale and experience the local Hawaiian island escape.

7/22/09-What a fabulous home to stay in. We had a wonderful time on the island. We snorkled on Poipu Beach, drove to the Kilauea Lighthouse, visited Hanalei Beach, waterfalls and the Smith's Luau were all fabulous. Most exciting was our marriage on Shipwreck Beach and our beautiful reception at the Beach House. What an amazing trip!--the Suleiman Family

We had a wonderful 9 days at your beautiful house in Koloa. THe location is the best--just a short walk to Turtle Cove where we watched dozens of turtles feeding. We loved to hear the stream babbling as we relaxed on the porch. Your view from the upstairs bedroom is so nice to wake up to. Your place is so well equiped - we made good use of the BBQ! Our honeymoon was all we hoped for--thanks for the tasty bottle of Merlot! Best regards, Natasha & Eric
