Clean, spacious home with a well-stocked kitchen. We had everything we needed. Huge shower stalls with strong water pressure and plenty of hot water. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk to beautiful Poipu beach and nearby eateries. Easy communication with Chris, our host. Would definitely stay again.

We loved our stay in Poipu! Location, location, location. Perfect for a family stay. Great communication and real care from the host Chris. Thoughtfully set up, lots of extra amenities, and tons of clear signage to help us quickly get oriented to the house. We stayed during a Kona low and felt safe and secure in the home while still seeing waves right from the lanai!

This house was a spectacular place to stay for our vacation! The view of the ocean from the lanai was fabulous, we were able to watch whales breaching in the ocean from the comfort of this home! Proximity to the beaches and several restaurant/bars is true as stated in the listing-a short walk! Chris, our host, is one of the nicest and most accommodating we have ever had. Thank you for sharing your home!

Thank you for your kind review! We're glad to hear you found our place welcoming and a great fit for families. While we may not be the Four Seasons, our goal is to provide an affordable, comfortable and homey atmosphere where guests can relax and enjoy their time together. Thankful also that we had 5 hours to prepare for the possible tsunami which created only a minor ocean surge here. We always strive to be well prepared.

About the host

Hosted by Vrbo for owner Chris White

Host profile image
My family and I moved to Kauai when I was two and we've been part of the community ever since. I recently retired after 25 years appraising property on Kauai and currently serve on the Kauai County Board of Review and the Puhi Park BoD in Lihue. We also participate in community and volunteer programs including youth sports and parks and archaeological digs.

Theresa and I have spent many years hiking, biking and kayaking around the island. While we love to travel, we always appreciate returning to the beauty and people of Kauai.

Why they chose this property

Our home is on the sunny side of the island convenient to beaches with partial ocean views yet set back and landscaped for privacy. You'll be close to great beaches without being in a resort. Coastal walks along the nearby Mahaluepu Coastline are a family favorite.

We are truly centrally located on the island, The north shore is about an hour away and the spectacular Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park are an hour in the opposite direction. This gives you option of day trips within reasonable driving times to these not-to-be-missed areas.

Finally, our home is approved for short-term rentals and is completely unaffected by recent laws restricting accommodations on other islands.

What makes this property unique

I designed our beach house to be comfortable, casual and welcoming. My goal is to provide a clean, well equipped home that people will want to return to and recommend. Integrity and friendly professionalism are the foundation.

Booking with us gives you an instant connection with Kauai. You are also supporting small business and community members that help make this island unique. Aikane Kauai is locally owned, professionally managed on island and fully licensed with a long, successful track record of satisfied and returning guests.
