Fantastic place right on the water

We love coming to Kauai and this was our first time renting a home on the island. We loved this place - right on the water with really great views of a beautiful golf course out one side and the entire back of the home facing the ocean. It was a great size home for our family of 6. We love to come back and watch movies every night after the days activities and the large family room and big TV were great. We also love to run and the road to and from the house was great for running, right on the ocean. Overall great home, easy check-in and check-out, and great communication from the host.

Wonderful Vacation on the Water

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The photos were accurate. The location was great - we went snorkeling a couple time in the harbor and walked down to the botanical gardens. The decor, books, games, all the little details made the house very comfortable and special-feeling. Watching the sunset from the deck was a perfect way to spend an evening!

Great Stay

We liked this house and the location is very convenient. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai watching the boats and activity in the bay. The house really had everything we needed, included a well stocked ktichen. The property management company was very responsive before and during our stay.

Surpassed Expectations

The house was perfect for our family size. The property management company (Koloa Kai Vacation Rentals) was excellent. We arrived later in the evening and they had the lights on for us. They were highly responsive to our needs. Linda and Nani were available via text or telephone call. I was really impressed. We have been to the island several times in the past and I really liked this location. We were roughly 150 foot walk to a great little beach. The house is located in a area that is quiet but close, not far from all the action if we want to be in it. The house had, boogie boards, sand, toys, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas. It was a really nice stay for our family.

Lovely oceanside home

We loved our time at Kauai Bay House! We traveled as a family - including my parents and two kids (7, 9). The house itself was great, well-equipped with beach gear, right on a cove with wonderful ocean sounds and views. You can walk along the road to the beach on that cove - enjoyed watching the sunset there. Excellent a/c on main level and in bedrooms; it could get a bit warm on upper level loft area but there are plenty of windows to open if needed - the ocean breeze and lots of fans available to help cool it down up there. 360 views from the loft were lovely any time of day! Clean and updated, comfortable beds and pull out couch. Location was very convenient to spouting horn, nearby shopping and dining as well as Poipu Beach. Access to Beach Club is a wonderful perk and very nice pool/club. Hosts were responsive and clearly care about their guests enjoying a relaxing vacation! We hope to return again some day!

Good, Not Great

Our stay combined stunning views and a perfect location with several drawbacks. The property's prime location and beautiful outdoor spaces, like the lanai and hammock, were highlights. However, challenges abounded. Cramped indoor spaces made comfort difficult. Upon arrival, a disturbing late-night incident involving a local burning bushes next to the house required police intervention and set a negative tone. The nearby pier was a persistent source of nighttime noise from gatherings, loud music, and fireworks, disrupting our peace and forcing us to shut windows to block out light and sound, which detracted from the natural beauty. The open loft design and awfully creaky floors meant noise traveled easily, affecting sleep if anyone moved. In summary, while the location and scenery were positive, issues with space, noise, and privacy marred our experience, making it less peaceful and comfortable than anticipated.

Oceanfront & great location...what's not to love?!

Lovely home with beautiful view in a great location! Easily accommodated 6 people over 3 generations. *Nicely stocked with all the amenities - Kitchen: appliances, utensils, dishes, bakeware, spices; Beach: toys, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels, outdoor shower; Bathroom towels, basic sundries, hairdryer, etc. *Location is amazing. Short walk to bay/beach, spouting horn, botanical gardens. Far enough out of town you avoid a lot of people & noise but still just a short drive to great shops & restaurants.*Check in/out is a breeze. Keyless entry. PM is communicative and responds timely. Things to consider/useful to know.*Main A/C works great. BR A/C's do not blow cold (even after we cleaned the filters) which means sleeping with the windows open until replaced. Loft has several fans which helps a lot as it is significantly warmer. *Roosters are many & crow all times of the day. Oceanfront BR has the luxury of the ocean waves to drown out the noise but those in the 2nd BR & loft are subject to incessant crowing which can make sleep a challenge (despite earplugs). *The dock across the bay is a popular fishing spot which often continues well after dark - voices & music carry. Those in the oceanside BR may find this disruptive. *The dock light across the bay is bright and shines right toward the house. Generally not an issue unless you are sleeping in the loft. With no window coverings, it provides a lot of illumination & may be disruptive to some (not for us).

The house is positioned perfectly for our family. We fell in love the moment we entered the spacious property and bright open rooms. The convenience of Poipu and the use of the athletic club was priceless. Our adult kids went to the club to work out, we all enjoyed snorkeling at the beach house, and Koloa landing, and surfing at pekala. A perfect stay from start to finish!

Exceeded expectations!!

Kaua’i bay house exceeded expectations in every way. The location was perfect. The house sits away from the congested resort areas, but still well within easy access to restaurants, shops, beaches, etc., which are all just down the road. There is also a quiet beach and park right next door. The house itself was perfect for our needs. The pace is very nice and well maintained, yet still cozy and comfortable - exactly what a beach house should be. The kitchen was fully equipped, there were ample linens, and even had beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, etc., -all of which were in good condition. The property is positioned directly on the waterfront, with a comfortable breeze 24/hr/day - we never once needed the air conditioner. The Koloa Kai team did an exceptional job of communicating with us and making everything as convenient as can be. We were even greeted with a welcome basket, seeing as we were there celebrating our wedding anniversary. We will definitely look to stay here again, the next time we are in Kauai.

Good Location for Poipu and Koloa

We wished we would have known about the harbor lights and lack of window treatments in the main rooms as it would have influenced our lodging decision in the poipu area. There was a lack of privacy definitely at night time. Otherwise the house had ample space for four adults, nice views, and a good location. The local beach was great for a quick ocean dip.

Little piece of paradise.

We picked this place to stay at since we were getting married and having our honeymoon at the same time. The house was amazing, and when we walked in for the first time they had a bottle of champagne and chocolates with a card congratulating us. We appreciated that so much and were thankful for that gesture. We loved leaving the sliding glass door open in our room at night for the air coming in and the sounds of waves hitting the rocks. The best part of the place to us was the hammock!!! We layed on it all the time and just enjoyed the weather and ocean view from it. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the first half of our honeymoon. We will definitely be staying there again when we come back.
