Great spot in a quiet neighborhood minutes from the beach

Great house in a great location. House was very clean and well maintained. Provided beach gear was perfect to take with on the short drive or walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood that is also very close to shops and grocery store. Will for sure stay again on my next Kauai trip.

Poipu beach estate

This home has everything you need. It is small, clean and modern. The winds kept the place cool if the windows were kept open. Nice to have a garage with two bikes to cruise around with. The area is very quiet with beautiful homes.

Perfect Poipu Getaway

The place was very clean and homey. We loved the bikes and beach gear in the garage. Outdoor shower was also a huge plus. Location is perfect. Close to the beach, shopping, and closer to Waimea than Lihue.

Cutest and Cleanest Place Ever

This was hands down the cleanest place we have stayed. Some of this may come from being a newer build, but they seemed to have amazing folk doing the cleaning and maintenance. There was zero signs of previous guests. Place very cute, neighborhood is great, friendly folk.
