We loved staying here. This was our first trip in Hawaii with our newborn son and it was a great home to relax in. House is in excellent condition, well kept and everything is high quality. Tons of space, no issues, hot tub is incredible at night. Backyard is so beautiful. Host was incredibly friendly and responsive.

We enjoyed our stay. We didn’t have the best weather while we were there so it was nice to have the hot tub and backyard. It is clean and very comfortable. Unfortunately during our stay there was construction happening and the workers had loud music playing during the day. Other feedback would be to get a grill pan since there is no BBQ.

We love everything about the house! The amenities are appreciated - a great kitchen, a comfy bed, plush towels, a washer/dryer, and, best of all, a hot tub! The location is also fabulous! It is walking distance close to beaches for sunrises and sunsets, sunbathing, spying the seals and the turtles and is short driving distances to other scenic locations! Jeremy was responsive to my questions. We had a perfect vacation and leave with Alotha spirit. Mahalo!

Great House In Great Location

We enjoyed our stay in this house. Great location in Poipu near restaurants, beaches, and shopping. Very comfortable and spacious house with everything you need for a Kauai vacation. We especially enjoyed having access to fast Wi-Fi, AC, and the hot tub since we stayed during a very rainy period on the island.

Beautiful house for a Kauai getaway!

Had an awesome stay at this beautiful house located walking distance to the beach in Kauai. It's a great escape from the resort crowd in a super quiet, beautiful neighborhood. The house feels brand new, with air conditioning, hot tub, and a beautiful backyard. Would definitely recommend to any couple visiting Kauai!

Fantastic home and setting

One of the best vacation experiences we've enjoyed together as a couple! Fantastic home, well appointed, comfortable, and beautiful yard and landscaping. We enjoyed the home both indoors and outdoors - in fact we ate all but one meal on the back porch. The location is wonderful too, just minutes to the beach, restaurants, and shopping. Thank you for providing such a memorable place for our getaway this winter.

Perfect location

Poipu Estates was the perfect location for our stay. Hale Minoaka Main was spotless on our arrival and all the essentials were there. Check in was seamless. Our favorite place in the home was the back yard as it was lovely and private! I loved listening to the early am birds.

Nice 1BR in Poipu

The property is nice for a 1BR place. Clearly it is occupied by the owners parts of the year based upon pictures on the wall and the locked bedrooms and guest bath but that wasn’t an issue for us. We really liked the lanai one the back and enjoyed sitting and listening to birds and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Great house!

Our stay at the Hale Minoaka Main House was amazing. It was a great home base to explore the southern and western parts of Kauai. The house was the perfect size for 2 people. The neighborhood was quiet and away from some of the more popular touristy areas. Great food and great beaches were all within a 5 minute drive. The house was new and featured some great amenities. Can't recommend this place enough.
