Huge Ocean View Home--40 Second Stroll to the Ocean--Hear the Waves at Night

I know what you mean, but we like the house the way it is and here is why. When we built the house, there was no AC like today. So we gave every room 3-sided ventilation, insulated the exterior walls, built a mountain-style "cold roof" and put ceiling fans in every room. In April this year, the high temps in Poipu were only in the upper 70's and night-time temps fell to the high 60's. We think installing AC now would add at least $100/night to the rent, would grow the musty, moldy tropical odor over time, and be environmentally energy wasteful. It would also encourage guests to spend more time indoors instead of being outdoors experiencing Hawaii.

Great! Glad you had a great vacation! We work hard to have a house that people can enjoy and afford!

Our property manager tells us we can raise the rent $100/night by adding AC, but we prefer to keep the rent low and be a little more environmentally friendly by not adding to the electrical. We are always upfront that the house does not have AC.

Thank you, Amy, for taking the time to tell everyone about what a great time you had. Please come back soon and take advantage of our returning guest discounts. Buzz Wisda

Thank you for the kind words. For the record, we don’t provide snorkel gear (sanitary reasons) or boogie boards (insurance reasons) but sometimes previous guests leave them in the garage. Buzz Wisda

Thank you, John. December in Poipu is lovely and we are glad our house helped you have a great vacation! Buzz Wisda

I am sorry you were uncomfortable, but AC adds about $100/night to the rent and the houses stay closed up and often get a mildew smell in the tropics. We prefer to keep the rent affordable and the house fresh smelling. People come to Kauai for the warm weather, but when guests come from 6000’ elevation like you did, it takes time to get used to.

Don’t forget we offer return guests a 10% discount. Just call me.

Hi Carolyn, Thank you for the great review, we are happy you enjoyed your stay. You are correct about the house, there is something magically Hawaiian about it, perhaps it was the blessings when it was built and the Ti leaves in the doorway cement. Regarding the twin XL beds, you are correct they would be better. But I have never seen twin XL sheets or mattress pads on Kauai so we have to keep the regular twin beds. Please come back often! We offer return guests a 5% discount for each return visit, up to 20% off their fifth and subsequent visits when they book directly through me. Aloha, Buzz Wisda

Hi Janice, Thank you for the kind words. Valorie and I work hard to have the house is great shape for all our guests. Please return often and take advantage of our return guest discounts. Mahalo, Buzz and Valorie Wisda
