"My husband and I spent the last four nights of our Hawaiian vacation here and it was the perfect way to end our travel adventure. The condo is conveniently located close to all that Poipu Beach and Kauai’s South Shore has to offer. The hosts were easy to communicate with and the condo was very clean and well-appointed. Pride of ownership is evident and we felt relaxed and “at home” from the moment we walked in. The complex is located on lush grounds and we spent time enjoying the lanai. We have...

"This place felt like staying in a jungle despite the fact that it is just a short walk to sprawling rental complexes. Having AC was a great option but I also loved sleeping with the screen windows open, falling asleep to sound of frogs and waking to the sound of birds. As a border, I was thrilled to be able watch so many sweet tree bird from the back deck. Community pool is very private, I often had it to myself. We’ll kept. Perfect location. I’d go back!"
