The house was lovely and very close to Brennecke and Poipu beaches. We loved walking to the beach and then sitting on the lanai in the evening to enjoy the views. Perfect for the whole family to enjoy. The athletic club access was really nice, pool was a hit with the kids. Vicki was super responsive. Mahalo!

We had an amazing stay at Kahele Kai! The house was clean and spacious as advertised. Management was very flexible and responsive in terms of check-in and check out. Location is exemplary – literally steps from a beautiful beach and/or hike. These accommodations were perfect for a stay in Kauai, providing a more intimate, authentic atmosphere suiting the island.

Fantastic home in a great location. Everything was comfortable and had all the items you need for a great beach day and to cook at home. Living room was comfortable and the views were great. We loved having the wagon, 4 beach chairs, and boogie boards to take down to Poipu Beach just a few minutes walk away. Would happily stay here again! Vicki our house was very responsive as well and super helpful.

Great location!

It was a short walk to some very nice beaches. We slept 7 people in the house very comfortably and had everything we needed at the house. We appreciated the beach chairs and the kids loved the boogie boards. The view of the water was very limited. Everyone enjoyed our stay very much.

Awesome location, great for family!

This place is worth staying at for the location alone! The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed. The house is within walking distance to a rental place for surfboards, snorkeling equipment and more which was super convenient for my young adult children. It was amazing being within walking distance to amazing body surfing, snorkeling and surfing spots. It fit our needs perfectly and we would love to come back! Thank you!
