About this property
Kahele Kai - Ocean views, steps to Poipu's best beaches, A/C throughout!
Kahele Kai, a three bedroom, three bath two story beach home close to Poipu Beach and Brennecke’s Beach. If you are looking for an outstanding vacation rental in Poipu Beach with newly installed, wall mounted Fujitsu A/C in both living areas and all bedrooms, Kahele Kai is an excellent choice.
This beautiful home boasts an expansive floor plan designed to provide you with the utmost comfort and convenience during your stay.
On the upper level, you'll discover a grand master bedroom suite complete with a king and twin bed and luxurious jacuzzi tub for your relaxation. Additionally, there's a second bedroom with a king bed and your own bathroom for added convenience. The ocean-view kitchen is fully equipped with a coffee maker, toaster, blender, and all the essentials needed to prepare delicious home-cooked meals right in the unit. The modern living and dining area provide a stylish and comfortable space to unwind, while the covered lanai offers a perfect setting for barbecuing and savoring breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.
Descending to the entry level, you'll find a cozy family room with a plush couch, ideal for enjoying your favorite shows on the generously sized TV. A mini kitchen and another bathroom are available on this level, along with a third bedroom with two queen beds. In total, our vacation rental accommodates up to nine guests, making it perfect for families or groups.
From the central, upstairs living area and the spacious covered lanai, you'll be treated to enchanting white water ocean views and the gentle sway of tropical palm trees. Kahele Kai's location affords stunning vistas of both Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach. Brennecke’s Beach is a mere 75 yards away, offering some of the best bodyboarding opportunities on the island. Poipu Beach, just a short distance away, offers a diverse range of activities, from a baby beach and snorkeling to swimming in Waiohai Bay and renowned surf spots.
This stunning two-story home boasts high ceilings, filling every room with natural light. Each window offers breathtaking views, whether it's the majestic ocean, lush groves of vibrant mangos and bananas, or the meticulously maintained hedges. There is a lava rock garden surrounding the outside shower and a garden of citrus and banana trees. Décor includes the surfboard the owner was using when he proposed to his wife at the beach over 30 years ago. Kahele Kai (translation "pathway to the ocean") is stocked with beach toys and a variety of baby gear including porta crib, baby gates and a baby seat that attaches to the dining chair.
This home is REALLY close to Poipu and Brennecke's Beach, both can be seen from the home, and both are ideal versatile beaches which include surf spots, a baby beach, snorkeling, boogie boarding, swimming at Waiohai Bay and sunning on the golden sand. There are lovely whitewater views of the ocean and tropical swaying palms visible from the central living area and large lanai and the sunsets are not to be missed.

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 look forward to welcoming you back on your next Poipu vacation!
We were so delighted! The communication, accommodations and location were perfect! It was wonderful to have everything we needed for a great time at the beach supplied, and having good linens and comfortable beds was even better. We cooked meals in the kitchen every day and had everything we needed. Definitely A

We look forward to welcoming you back to Kahele Kai on your next Poipu adventure!
My wife and I stayed here a week along with our daughter and her family, six in all, including two kids, 5 and 7. The home is just a couple blocks from Poipu Beach Park, and we'd walk down there every day with one of the wagons, part of all the beach supplies you need. It wasn't warm enough to warrant air conditioning, though that is available - ceiling fans were perfect. No bugs, quiet location, plenty of kitchen supplies, laundry was put to good use. The included pool club (just a 5 minute drive) was a great fit for the kids, they went every day after first going to a beach, and loved the slide there. Overall, a great fit for our group. Not high-end (bring your own soap and shampoo, no fancy coffee maker, towels a bit worn, etc.), but very functional overall for a beach-focused vacation. We also enjoyed walking the block down to the ocean to join the other visitors and locals for the nightly sunset and whale watch.

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.

Mahalo, and please visit on your next Poipu vacation!
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.

Mahalo, the owners and myself, the property manager, are delighted you enjoyed your stay. Please visit again, and we appreciate the review.
Great property. Super close to the beach. We got in late night and had a bit of a challenge finding the house, but other than that, it was a fantastic property.

Reviewer Comments:
The home was spacious, mostly clean, nicely decorated and in a wonderful location. We found the front window covering was missing a pull so wasn't operable. Very limited cleaning supplies.
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!

It was a delight to have you visit our beautiful home. We welcome you back!
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.
We loved our stay in this beautiful home. Perfect layout for 1-2 families. Plenty of beds and space to spread out. Perfect location, beach views, we are ready to book again.
The house was perfect for our family. Close to great beaches, stores, and dinning. The kitchen was well stocked, rooms spacious and a great porch. As a bonus they had boogies boards, beach chairs and umbrellas. Highly recommend this vacation property!
The location of the house is great for beach goers and watchers; view of Brennekes waves from the lanai and it was close to dark shoreline for night photos.
The house was awesome. Very large and clean and in a great location. Lots of things available at the house to help enjoy the stay - boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrella, etc.
We love this property! It is spacious and was perfect for the 2 families and 1 single in our group.
Property managers very easy to deal with and provided great communication and service. Membership to Poipu Beach Athletic Club is a fantastic perk.

Aloha Norma, We love the property management team at Poipu365 and are so glad you found them to be great at communication and service! The exclusive Club membership offers everyone staying at the unit access to the pool, hot tub, weight & cardio rooms, tennis courts, basketball courts, pickleball, and more! We're so happy you enjoyed these fantastic perks and hope to host you during your next Kauai vacation. Mahalo for staying with us and for sharing your experience. Much island aloha to you!!
We loved this property. It was perfect for our group of nine (a mix of adults, teens and children). The house is a 3-5 minute walk to Brennecke and Poipu beaches and a short car ride to everything in Poipu/Koloa. We had all that we needed in the kitchen to cook multiple family meals. The outside shower was a giant bonus and the air conditioning units kept the property nice and cool. We would not hesitate to return! Mahalo for a wonderful stay!
We loved this beautiful house for our big family. Roomy, clean, well equipped kitchen and lovely lanai with a view of our favorite beach. 3 minute walk to the Brenneke beach and tide pools. Perfect week.
