Why they chose this property
Why Kauai — and Why Sunny Poipu is the Perfect Base
Kauai is Hawaii’s lush “Garden Island,” famous for its emerald mountains, lace-like ridges, deep valleys, and endless waterfalls. The ever-changing interplay of sunlight, shadow, and greenery creates breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset. Among all the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai offers more of the things that make Hawaii special — more waterfalls, more rivers, more beaches, more snorkeling sites, more hiking trails, and more golf courses — all without the crowds. With only about 50,000 residents, Kauai feels friendly, peaceful, and unspoiled.
We chose Sunny Poipu on the South Shore as the home base for our vacation rentals for a reason:
Poipu enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year
In winter (Nov–Apr), while the North Shore gets heavy rain and large waves, Poipu stays warm, sunny, and perfect for swimming
The calm waters at Poipu Beach and other South Shore beaches make them ideal for families and snorkelers
From Poipu’s central location, you can reach anywhere on the island in under an hour — Hanalei on the North Shore, Lihue and Kapaa on the East Side, or Waimea Canyon on the West Side. And at the end of the day, you’ll drive through Kauai’s famous Tree Tunnel, past historic Koloa Town, and feel as though you’re being welcomed back to paradise.
Within just a 2-mile radius of our properties, you can enjoy:
5-6 beaches: Poipu, Brennecke, Lawai, Koloa Landing, Mahaulepu, and Kukuiula Harbor
Top attractions: Spouting Horn, McBryde & Allerton Botanical Gardens, ATV tours, ziplining, biking, CJM horseback riding
Golf: Poipu Bay Golf, Kiahuna Golf, and Kukuiolono Park & Golf Course
When you stay in Sunny Poipu, you’re not just booking a place to sleep — you’re giving yourself the best possible location for your Kauai adventure.
