Very clean and livable space. Well stocked with everything you need. Kitchen is thoughtfully stocked as well. Property within walking distance of beach and wonderful hiking trails. Poipu is a really beautiful spot. Hosts are wonderful. Thoughtful, communicative and efficient, they made our stay even better. We loved our time in Kauai and highly recommend Poipu Crater.
This is our second time back to Kauai and we knew we had to book this property again. It is the perfect place for our family. Having beach chairs, umbrellas, and other supplies at our disposal made our stay that much better. We had a great stay and can’t wait to come back again!
Beautiful property in a great location. We loved our stay here - the condo is lovely, great arrangement for a family, terrific kitchen. The check-in process was easy and we really appreciated the late check-out since we had a late flight. The location was great. Close to Poipu beach, Shipwreck beach, and Brennecke Beach.
This property was a great stay. Clean, close to beaches, private are just a few of the comments I could give about this property. Would love to stay here again.
The place was well stocked and everything we needed in the kitchen and bedrooms were well laid out. Pool is very close by and we made use of the BBQ to make hamburgers. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
The hosts were very helpful with answering any questions we had. Quiet neighborhood in a convenient location. Very clean and comfortable for my family of 5.
My wife and I loved staying here with our 11 month old son. The jungle vibes on the lanai really make you feel like you’re secluded even though the other units are not that far away. Close enough to walk to Poipu beach which was perfect for swimming with a baby. We would definitely come back!
This was a beautiful property in an excellent location. The rooms were nice and the property was clean and new. We loved sitting on the patio looking across the lush landscape while listening to the birds sing. It was almost as if you were in a treehouse. Communication when needed was also prompt and kind.
The condo was beautifully renovated. Updated and fully equipped kitchen. The deck was very private and large. Bedrooms had nice mattresses and linens (need pillow protectors though). No tv in lower bedroom. The wall between units was a bit thin as you could hear your neighbors.The condo complex was charming, clean, quiet. Nice pool that nobody used. Conveniently located.
The architecture and design of the condo was beautiful. We loved the wood beam ceilings and the mesmerizing plantation style fans and modern light fixtures throughout the house. The kitchen and bathrooms were very modern with everything you need. I loved having the large soaking tub after a day of hiking. Only suggestion for the bathroom would be to add a few hooks for damp towels. My husband and I found the master bed to be super comfy; bedroom itself had ample storage. The only minor thing that would be helpful would be labeling the electrical switches. There were so many throughout the house that we often found ourselves flipping switches on and off multiple times to find he right one. Beyond that it was a wonderful place to stay during our time in Kauai
This place was beautiful. A close walk to a wonderful sunrise and beaches . The support from the renters is AMAZING. Any questions or suggestion you have , they got your back z highly recommend!!
This is a very nice unit. Very clean and very well stocked. All the comforts of home ! Loved that there were beach chairs, umbrella, mats, toys, etc. This is a beautiful location. We will be back 🏖️👍
We loved our stay. This worked great for our family especially with the bedrooms being separated by floors. Loved the porch for relaxing at the end of the day. Highly recommend.
