Oceanfront view of Poipu, the closest & largest house, 100 feet away

I rented this beach house for a girls' trip. There were 10 of us ranging from teenagers to mid 50's. We had plenty of room and enough bathrooms for us all to get ready. We loved walking right across the street to the beach. We also enjoyed many hours out on the partially covered deck. 10 beach towels and 10 bath towels were provided. There was some snorkel equipment and a few old beach chairs in the garage. There is a deli right next door with great sandwiches, chips, soda, shave ice, candy, etc. Upstairs from the deli is a full service restaurant. Also right next door is a nice shop with items for purchase or rentals. We rented 10 chairs and 4 umbrellas there at a reasonable price. It was fun snorkeling in the protected area. The fish were colorful and plentiful. We enjoyed the huge kitchen and open areas of the house.. We felt safe. It was quiet except for the chickens crowed constantly. We didn't let that bother us. The house is a bit warm as there isn't air conditioning. There are ceiling fans and screened windows which help create a breeze. I'm really glad we rented a car. It was easy getting around the island. I would definitely stay here again.

The location of this property is outstanding. You are across the street from a gorgeous beach and near several others to choose from. The home can accommodate large families with many bedrooms and bathrooms. The downside to the house is no A/C which we understand is common in homes in Kauai. Roosters, which are also common on the island, can be an early wakeup call i.e. 4 or 5 am in the morning, which can take some getting used to. Ear plugs were definitely a help! The property does need some minor repairs that we reported to the owner. (Ceiling fan not working and a door screen was torn.) Other than this, the house was fairly comfortable with large rooms and fans to help cool you off. The porch located off the second level kitchen/family room was also a place to cool off in the evening. While some amenities were lacking such as beach chairs and umbrellas, it did have an outdoor shower, beach towels provided and a ping pong table. Beach equipment rentals were also close by if you need them. A Costco on the island was half hour away and was definitely the place to purchase basic necessities at very reasonable prices. The house was also near several restaurants, bars and shopping centers. The Poipu area is a great area with a family atmosphere. We also participated in several excursions that were about a half hour away, which compared Maui, is close by. We also found that traffic in this area was particularly light when compared to the North side of the island.

Steve's house was just as described. There were 7 adults in our group and there was plenty of room for us to hang out together or get away for some quiet time. We especially enjoyed meals on the lanai which were easy to prepare in the large, well-stocked kitchen. The beds were comfy as were the rest of the furnishings. Steve was easy to communicate with and available to answer any questions I had. If we return to the Poipu area, we hope to stay here again.

This is a wonderful home to stay at during your vacation at Poipu. The location couldn't be more perfect! You are directly across from Poipu Beach Park. We would sit on the lanai every morning and enjoy the views. Surf Shop, Deli, and Restaurant are right there. Not a big deal to go back to the house for food or whatever you forgot! You can be at shopping areas in 5 minutes or less. There was plenty of room and bathrooms for 8 of us to be comfortable. Many homes are across the street from rocky areas of the beach where you can't swim but being across from Poipu Beach was so awesome! We would definitely stay here again. The owner was very helpful and happy to answer questions. We truly enjoyed our stay in Kauai!

Great location. Obviously enjoyed by many. A deep cleaning would really make it special. A functional bbq would have been nice to have.
