Beautiful stay in Poipu

This was our second stay at this particular property, we enjoyed our stay both times. The spot is great, in a quite neighborhood a short drive to the beach. The nearby Poipu beach is beautiful, although it was quite a bit busier then before, perhaps due to the time of year or just because everyone knows how beautiful it is. Great place to stay for 2 people!

Time of relaxation

Neighborhood was extremely quiet(something I am not used to). Poi pu beach estates. Walking distance to beach, restaurant. We rented a car and navigation of the area was simple. Close to many restaurants, store and shops. We would visit this area again.

Away from the crowds

This property is located in a residential area walking distance to multiple restaurants and shops. Quiet location with sunset views every day. Parking right below. Why would anyone want to rent a condo instead of this property. Thanks Paula!!

Peaceful retreat

This house is a gem. It's located on a quiet estate with other holiday houses close to Poipu Beach. Apart from the occasional rooster (which you can't escape anywhere on Kauai anyway), it was very silent and peaceful, which we really appreciated. It was clean, comes with a huge kitchen stocked with basically everything you may need to cook yourself should you want to. We especially appreciated the large bed and walk in closetspace

A clean, peaceful, and relaxing place to stay

The guest house was a clean, peaceful, and relaxing place to stay in a quiet neighborhood. It was well equipped with everything we needed to cook our own meals. It was also just a short distance to many nearby restaurants and convenient for being able to drive to either end of the island. Paula was easy to communicate with and had helpful recommendations. We are so glad we chose to stay here!

Great suite in Poipu

Paula’s suite is comfortable and clean. We enjoyed having our meals on the small lanai and watching the distant sunset and stars at night. The bed is very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Nice quiet neighborhood but still close to the beach and amenities. Paula was great at communicating and helpful.

Amazing stay!

This house was perfect for our honeymoon vacation. The location is literally the best on the island. The neighborhood is pleasant, clean and very well kept. There was plenty of room and has pretty much anything you need in the kitchen. Highly recommended!

As frequent visitors of Kauai, this property is a top of our lists of stays. Check in was very easy; Paula was very responsive to us with any questions.

Perfect location and accommodations

The place is well-maintained, nicely equipped, and nested in a subdivision that is close to all the activities one would want to experience while in Kauai. While we didn't spend much time in the rental home it was a great place to rest, recover and energize for the next day's adventure in Kauai. I highly recommend it for future visitors.

Fantastic stay in Poipu

Paula was helpful from the moment we booked. She provided great local recommendations, her place was stocked with all the things we needed and then some, and it was the perfect place to relax at the end of the day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience - exactly what we were looking for in a venue and a host. Highly recommend and would definitely stay with Paula again!

Poipu Beach

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was very accommodating and the host(s) are thoughtful in their selection of furnishings/kitchen set up to make your stay delightful! They provided beach chairs and umbrellas for beach days, and the outdoor shower was extra fun! Great location next to the 'circle'.
