PRIVATE HOME: 5 Min Walk to Beach, Pool & Tennis Courts

NOT A CONDO! This 2000-square-foot, stand-alone house is the perfect get away for your entire family. No shared walls, railings, entryways, elevators or parking lots so you can arrive with confidence and know that you will not be sharing your rental with other strangers. This 3 bedroom/2 bath home is a welcome retreat from your busy mainland lifestyle, with its vaulted ceilings, tropical island-style furnishings, fully-equipped kitchen, large laundry room, recessed lighting and skylights throughout, front courtyard, and backyard LANAI complete with lounge chairs, gas grill, hibiscus, and swaying palm trees.

Sliding glass doors from the guest bedrooms and dining room open onto the front courtyard, while the living room and master bedroom invite you to step out into the peaceful backyard and sheltered lanai. Step down into the warm, relaxing, sunken tub in the master bedroom suite. There are extra linens and beach towels.

Located on a cul-de-sac in Poipu Kai Resort next to the Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort, Shipwreck Beach is just a short, 3 MINUTE WALK to the east via greenbelt pathways. Brenneke Beach and Poipu Beach Park with its wonderful children's swimming area and playground are a 5-10 minute walk to the west, also via greenbelt pathways.

Enjoy the outdoor gas BBQ grill and patio dining. If you choose to stay in touch with your office, you will find a dedicated, high-speed, Internet access line as well as wifi. There are tropical breezes and ceiling fans throughout to keep you cool.

The master bedroom has a KING, there is a QUEEN in the second bedroom, and 2 TWINS in the third bedroom. Additional sleeping for 2 extra guests upon request.

The property has an excellent location, a short walk to Poipu Beach Park, or the Grand Hyatt Hotel. The biggest drawback is no air conditioning, making sleeping or staying in very uncomfortable. The home is older Hawaiian style and needs updating.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Yes this house was built in the typical Hawaiian style with no AC, however it has louvres on every window and lots of sliding doors to allow the cool breezes to flow through the house. It is priced accordingly, and I believe it is a great value for all its amenities and the excellent location so close to the beach.

Dirty linens and towels, irons stains on mattress pad, sand under beds in one of the bedrooms, Mildew on shower curtain in one of the bathrooms, mildew in both showers. Main complaint was dirty linens in all beds and towels that all smelled of mildew on arrival. I had to wash all linens and and towels. Mattress pads were visibly soiled. Also no AC in house.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Aug 2026
My housekeeping team fully inspects and documents the property before every arrival. All linens were fresh and newly washed. Unfortunately, the home was left in a condition that required extra cleaning, including excessive unwashed dishes piled high in the sink, scattered food waste all throughout the house, deeply stained bedding that had to be replaced and the shower curtain and rod removed from the bathroom and left in a bedroom (why?). We charged a total of $50 ($25 for the extra cleaning time and $25 for the ruined mattress pad) and documented with photographic proof of this damage. This guest was upset and only wrote this review after the $50 had been withheld from their deposit.

We enjoyed the neighborhood and the easy walk to 3 beaches. The pool was smaller and had less chairs than anticipated. The surrounding grounds were wonderful and it was easy to get almost anywhere on the south side of the island. The hosts were exceedingly helpful and available.

Great location

Great location near multiple beaches. We did some excellent scuba diving and snorkeling just down the road at Koloa Landing, and this made for an excellent base camp. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning, but we did alright without it.

Thank you Daniel. Yes, our house is built in the traditional Hawaiian style with louvres on every window and lots of sliding doors to let the air flow through. So it is not practical to have air conditioning as it would just flow out the louvred windows. Glad you enjoyed your stay!

Fantastic family stay

Great location for our young family. Walking distance to pool, beaches and the Grand Hyatt where we were attending a conference. Quiet neighborhood with little traffic. The Owner was very accommodating and helpful to us with our stay and some specific needs that came up. I would recommend this to anyone looking for space to spread out with a young family while visiting the island.

Amazing

We were a family of 4, one of whom used a wheelchair, a set of grandparents and a sister, husband and 10 year old. The house was well located and has great kitchen and bar b q for meal prep. The location is very walkable and close to great beaches as well as a great jumping off spot for visits to other parts of the island.

Perfect family home in great location!

We stayed at this home for a week and had a wonderful time! We were able to walk to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu beach very easily. The house was perfect for us (traveling with an 18 month old) and was well equipped for kids. One thing we did not read was the house does not have AC. It was quite warm when we initially got there but there are fans and all the windows open. The backyard was nice and we sat outside often.

About the host

Hosted by Sonya DeAngelis

Host profile image
We live in the California Bay Area. We have 3 children and visit this house every year at least 3 times. We consider it our home away from home and our kids love the island and all its activities. We always discover something new on each visit.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house after visiting Kauai numerous times. Our first visit to the island was to the north shore to backpack the NaPali coastline. Since then, we decided to buy on the south shore due to its centralized location, resort feel and drier weather. We know you will love the location in Poipu since the house is within walking distance to 3-4 different beaches, restaurants, shops, pool and tennis.

What makes this property unique

Our extended family love the privacy of the inner courtyard, the closeness to the Grand Hyatt and the beaches, and our parents love the single level and openess of the house.
When our kids were younger, the inner courtyard and backyard were a great place for the kids to play.
