About this property

Beach House - Steps from Beach. 3 bedroom/3 bath. Private yard, pool, hot tub

Welcome to the Poipu Beach House. IG @poipubeachhouse. A beautiful 1920s-era plantation home steps from Poipu Beach. This home is a historical gem that takes you back to old Hawaii with original wood floors, lava rock footings, and 100+ year old dry-stacked lava rock boundary wall.

Poipu Beach House is an ideal base for your Kauai getaway. Whether you lounge on the covered porch, enjoy our tropical landscaping in the spacious yard, listen to the waves from your bed, watch the roosters from the outdoor lanai, spend the afternoon in the private pool and hot tub, enjoy a secluded backyard BBQ by the firepit, cook up dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen, or stay in for movies and games, this home will provide that and more, with the charm of a plantation-style home.

The home is situated on a quiet residential lane a half block from the nearest beach. The home has all the amenities for your stay, including complete kitchen and accessories, linens, bath and beach towels, soaps, shampoos, laundry, dishwasher, coffee maker/grinder, wifi, TV, cable, toys, games, surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas and more.

The large yard is well manicured with orchids, plumeria, palms, and other tropical flowers and plants. You'll love the greenbelt walkway from the backyard to other nearby beaches, washing the sand off the toes in the outdoor shower, the sound of ocean waves and gentle trade winds as the South Shore sunsets filter into the airy windows.

This home has 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, dining and living room (with sleeper sofa), laundry room, covered porch, A/C, cable, and wifi. This home will accommodate groups up to 8. Steps from world famous sunny Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach where you can enjoy any number of beach and ocean activities, including surfing, paddleboarding, boogie boarding, fishing and whale watching.

This place is amazing if you need a 3 bedroom house. PERFECT location, with a quick walk to the beach or a good restaurant. Hot tub was a big hit. Having surfboards available was also a big plus. Love the lanai out front. Just a beautiful place.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The house is perfect. It’s larger than it looks. The front lanai was perfect for coffee in the am and when we had a torrential downpour it was fun to watch the rain from there. Our two grandsons loved the pool and hot tub and we loved being able to walk to puka dog, Poipu beach and park and get shave ice. Also the path to Kalapaki joes was awesome. Great food, drinks and music.

This beautiful beach house is our favorite place to stay in Kauai! It was our second time staying here and we’re already looking forward to visiting again! The location is perfect, walking distance to multiple beaches and trails. After swimming with the turtles and boogie boarding at Brennecke beach, we loved coming home to the pool and hot tub. Besides the backyard, our other favorite part of the house is the cozy sun porch where we enjoyed our morning coffee listening to the birds. Thanks Karl for sharing your wonderful home!

The hot tub was clean and hot enough. Laundry was useful for towels and bathing suits, (could use some dryer sheets). All the rooms were clean, one thing though was one of the rooms just had a ceiling fan but no AC. It was hot in the evenings for them. My daughter and her husband were in that room, I thought the entire house had it. everything else was as listed. We had a great time.

We were travelling with our adult children and their partners. Everyone thought the accommodations were fabulous. The property is located a block from the beach and is in a convenient location that optimizes the drive time to Waimea Canyon and the North Shore. The weather in the Poipu area was fabulous during our May stay. Each couple had access to their own bedroom and bathrooms (2 bedrooms have en-suites, and the third bedroom is adjacent to the hall bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with enough plates, glasses, and utensils. We brought frozen food from California and our own case of alcohol (to economize), and I was not lacking for any prepatory cooking pots, pans, or cooking utensils. The home is large enough with a dining and family room, a screened-in porch, multiple outdoor seating areas, and, of course, the pool, spa, and firepit area, so that each couple was able to find "alone" time at this property.Karl made the check-in process very easy, provided quick communication, and was attentive to our needs. A perfect host. We would love to return and highly recommend this property.

Great Home Base for Family Vacation

Great place for family getaway. We loved boogie boarding and snorkeling at the Poipu beaches. Also, enjoyed the local shops and restaurants. It was easy to get to the beach from the house. The house was well-stocked with amenities and kitchen/laundry items. And the pool was a nice bonus!

Great spot

This was a great rental, it’s so nice to just walk to the beaches and not deal with parking. The pool and hot tub were huge for the kids getting as much water time as possible. The place is certainly a bit dated, (that’s why it’s not 2000/night) but is clean and nice, definitely well cared for. Karl the property manager was great to communicate with and helped us out a lot.

Carl is the perfect host and his scene to all the little details that make a vacation seamless and extraordinary. The house is charming, the landscaping is perfection. The appliances are in perfect repair. The beds are comfortable. The pool in the hot tub are stellar. The lanai is spacious and relaxing. The swing is serene. The proximity to the beach is the best of all. We loved everything about it!

Aloha! What an amazing week in Kauai. This house was perfect. We had enough room to spread out and have some quiet time when needed. It's a few steps to a wonderful beach with sunrise and sunset sea turtles, some small and big boogie board waves the kids loved diving into! Fun bar at beach as well for an evening cocktail. House had everything we needed to cook and stay comfortable. Karl was very responsive. Even during the July 29 tsunami, Karl checked on us, let us know the house was actually high enough to stay but we had evacuated anyway. We had a nice tailgate party at Safeway with locals and visitors:)You won't be disappointed at this home! Normally I would choose a newer, modern home but loved this even more! Just made me feel the Aloha in Kauai!We will return. Mahalo Karl and family for sharing your home with ours!

Lovely home with a short walk to the beach

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at this home. The inside of the house is lovely and well appointed, as another person said it's even nicer than the pictures. The beds were comfortable and the pool was a great complement to the beach for our kids. It's a 2 minute walk to Brennecke Beach, where we spent time boogie boarding with sea turtles each day (really). The surrounding homes were quiet and the adjacent villas and tennis courts were almost unnoticed. Unlike some of the other reviewers, we did use the window a/c each day - it was sufficient when augmented by a fan to move air to the back bedrooms. We had one small issue which was promptly resolved by the owner, which is all one can ask. Highly recommended.

Poipu Beach House

The house and the location are excellent. The house was clean and well stocked. The only drawback was that the pool and spa were cloudy and algae ridden when we arrived. We contacted the owner, who was on vacation in the continental US, and he had someone there to clean the pool and spa that day and follow up for two more days to make sure the cleanup and algae treatment were working. It did take two days before the pool and spa were ready. The hair dryer didn't work when we arrived. The owner had someone deliver a new one that day. The owner was very friendly and responsive when contacted. We would definitely stay there again.
