Sadly disappointed.

This was a huge disappointment. The carpet was filthy and the outside was a tiny table, e chares staring at the neighbors fence. It could be fairly cute but alot of updating and cleaning needs to be done.

Nice little spot, I thought it was kind of expensive but I guess for the area it's not bad. Host answered every question and were very nice. I think the cleaning lady forgot to add toilet paper roll but that's not anyone's fault

Perfect location!

Me and my boyfriend stayed here. This is a room off the main house. Some felt the listing was misleading but if you read details it’s clear. This could not be a more perfect location. We walked to Skipwreck Beach, the hike there at shipwreck, Poipu Beach, Puka Dogs, saw the turtles, used the pool, and rented bikes. This is an intimate stay with a perfect location.David was accommodating and we were able to check in early to get ready for our luau. Loved every minute of Kaui.

Comfortable, great location to beaches, etc.

All the comforts you need for people who are only spending the nights. Perfect if you plan to be sightseeing, beach combing, eating out, touring…during the day. Older home, with older carpet & furnishings, in a real nice neighborhood.

Host A Quiet and a Great Location.

If you want a simple place in Poipu this is it. Has ac and an easy walk to the pathway that leads you to the ocean. Great for both sunrise and sunsets. Excellent location. If you want real fancy, not the place. Comfortable bed. Very Quiet, loved that. Wonderful host!

Poipu Kauai stay

The location was great- we could get to so many places easily and quickly, several beaches and hiking was also close by. There were beach chairs and boards available for us to use, which was great! Although there was no air conditioning, there were fans available which kept us comfortable.

Read carefully, not an "apartment"

We found the listing misleading. The listing did not make it clear that this is a guest room off of a residential home. It's more of a neighborhood than a resort. There was only a small latch (not a keyed lock) separating the main house from the bathroom. There was mold in the bathroom and growing on the lampshades. We did not feel comfortable staying here and ended up leaving. In hindsight it should have been a red flag when there wasn't a picture of the outside of the actual bulding in the listing.

Great location!

We really enjoyed visiting with the owner-a very nice man! This is an easy walk to some beautiful beaches, a great location! This is a room attached to the main house with a private entrance. It has all the basics needed, microwave and small refrigerator . It was a perfect location for many fun excursions , walks to see the sunset or sunrise!

Not as advertised - loud and not clean

The listing should make clear that the hosts live on the property in the same home. This is a room in a house, not a private space. I could hear morning and night the people talking, cheering at the television, using the restroom through the wall. Additionally, the accommodations were were not clean, ants infesting the bathroom, mold on the lamps next to the bed, screen doors that have holes, cob webs and mold on the walls and doors. This needs a full overhaul. It was cheap, and in a very good location but hearing the owners morning and night is not worth it.

We truly enjoyed our stay at davids place. The area was better than we could have asked for with easy access to the beach and other properties. David was a knowledgeable and gracious host, we truly enjoyed visiting with him. We would love to come back and stay at his property again. Thank you, David.

Wonderful location and hospitality

Mr. David was just the best host! Property is part of his home, but with private outside entrance. Everything was very clean with everything supplied for daily use such as towels, tissue, etc. Mr. David was so gracious with offerings even to help us with laundry. There's no a/c, but not many of the VRBOs seems to have it. There's a great fan, and we slept with windows open very comfortably. The property is conveniently located near a few restaurants, Starbucks, and the absolute most beautiful place to watch the sunrise at Shipwreck beach. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location

You have your own entrance to the room. Need to drive through the coconut trees to park your car on the lawn, so be careful if your car is enormous. It's pretty dark at night, so walking from your car to your room also needs your full attention. Everything else is amazing.
