Great location

I stayed here to overlap with family in the plantation cottages. We were all here for a wedding. I enjoyed the peaceful setting, and the closeness to Brenneckes Beach.

Great location, quiet, prive and we made new friends from the front cottages!

Clean, cute, easy! Hot! And I mean sauna hot from 10 am-10 pm! Yes ,there are fans but even in late October, you cannot stay in the studio to nap or eat! So plan on being gone, or in the pool. My only other recommendation is learn to not be secure! You have to have the windows open and there is NO way to secure yourself inside at night. Closing the windows is not an option as there is no a/c and the fans would be worthless if windows were closed. We stayed 3 nights…. The unit was clean, the Pool was ‘refreshing”

Private location, good value

This is a fairly private cottage at the back of an adjacent duplex property. The pool is shared with the duplex. The cottage was clean and has ample dishes and linens. No air conditioning but there are 3 ceiling fans and 2 pedestal fans so the heat was manageable at night. As other reviews mention there are roosters but those are common to the area and not unique to this property. E.J. is an excellent host. One evening during my stay I discovered a problem that needed physical repair. Even though he was out of the state on his own vacation E.J. arranged a contractor to fix the problem the next morning.

Lovely little cottage

Upon entering the cottage from the road/mauka side (back entrance) I couldn’t have been any happier. It was a very quaint and quiet area. Walking down the pathway where the perimeter of the house layered with plant life, was beautiful. The porch or lanai area was perfect for a cook out. The inside of the house was clean and comfortable. The pool area however could’ve been a bit more taken cared of, I went to take a dip on the second day and seen a toad swimming with me. That happened twice on different days. A/c would’ve been a bonus but the fans worked out great. I can’t complain, my wife and I had a wonderful time and would definitely do it again! Mahalo to cj, I think was his name.

A wonderful garden retreat

This is the perfect place for a couple; Poipu Beach less than a block away, nice pool, well appointed apartment, with a great sports bar out the back gate. We would love to stay here again some time. (Be advised: no air conditioning, be we didn't need it.)

Cottage Near Beach

Loved the decor, location and all amenities. Never did use the pool (in saltwater, instead), though it looked pristine and inviting. Bed was comfortable. The lack of air conditioning was a little unpleasant when first going to sleep (even WITH fans) - but we figured out a good pattern that kept us cool enough. It's a good value stay in Poipu and we would return.

quiet

We used it in conjunction with the property next to it. Worked great. No air conditioning, and the lounge chairs needed repairing. But we enjoyed it, enjoyed the pool and the quiet. Also was able to sit and bird watch by the pool.

Nice property

I enjoyed the pool cottage. It was well equipped and I considered it a bargain. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is no air conditioning. Lots of fans but I would not suggest it for July & August. We have stayed places with no air before but it must have been at a cooler time of year. Re Earlier reviews: We didn't deal with the parking problems because we came in a car with our family who was renting a cottage on the other side of the pool so we just used that parking space. Yes, there are bezerk roosters who don't know what time to crow but frankly that didn't bother us. If you want to avoid them you will probably need to stay at a resort and not a rental in a neighborhood.

Walk to the beach! Overall great

My husband and I stayed in this little studio cottage for the first leg of our Hawaiian vacation. The location is great- you can walk to the Poipu beach, which is a really beautiful beach. The owner even provides a cooler, beach chairs and pool towels for you. There is a grill and small kitchen to make breakfast or whatever meals you need. No A/C but the owner provides lots of fans to help cool it down and move air around. If you're gone most of the day like we were (and you should be, its Hawaii!) then it's fine at night without A/C. However, the parking situation is complicated. At night, you have to park on the side street, which is totally fine if you could walk through the side yard of the front house (which is also a vacation rental). BUT, the instructions explicitly tell you not to. Instead, at night, you are supposed to walk several blocks around the corner-in the dark-to the other entrance. The owner provides flashlights (one was working, one was not), but still. IMO, this is a HUGE liability for the owner of this property. If something happens to a visitor because they have to walk several blocks around the property, late at night, then I would think they have a very valid claim against the property owner. I also don't see why it should bother the renters of the main house if a couple is walking to the back property. Afterall, the main house guests get to use the pool, which can be a bit intrusive on the pool cottage guests, so why not allow them to walk through? Strange. Would definitely rent again, but would still ignore the instructions about walking around the block and would just cut through the side yard of the main house.

Privacy is tops

I think I'd try to give five stars, but that would be a little generous. This is not a 5-star resort. This is the pool house, studio layout, at the rear of the property, and you access through the back fence. No joke. It's the parking lot of Kalapaki Joes. Can't park there overnight, so you move the car to the front of the main house/duplex. A short-cut to the back of the property and the pool house, through or by the duplex and their yard, might be intrusive to them, so we were asked to take a trail back up to the highway and through the parking lot. So in this sense it's like a 2-star location. You are staying in the little pool house. That said. We really liked the privacy. You have a little sitting patio with room for two and BBQ, but a large pool area with lounges and table furniture. So dinner and entertaining is by the pool. Front house duplex guests can use it too, but they have so much other space they don't need to, and it's far from their yard. So they used it for an hour during the day, for kids to swim, but that's it. So it was kind of ours to ourselves. Night swimming is called a no-no supposedly but who's going to stop you? Place was clean, wifi good. Price was half the reason for taking the chance on this place. I'd like to see a weekly rate or something. It's cheap but for a pool house....less would be good too. If you feel adventurous and don't need room service, this could work. It is not luxurious at all. Simple. But quiet and private enough to make it perfect for the right folks.

The Poipu Beach Cottage

Two adults and a 2-year-old stayed in the cottage for a week in April 2019. We enjoyed the cottage and its seclusion. The swimming pool is shallow so the 2-, 5- and 8-year-old cousins enjoyed frolicking in it. The pool can be seen from the cottage, and the gate between kept the 2-year-old safe. The cottage was clean and well kept. Poipu Beach Park is an easy walk and a great place to swim where we encountered sea turtles and monk seals! Some odd things were no sheets and no hot water the first day, but the manager fixed that – not sure why they were not ready beforehand. The route to the beach is rather circuitous beginning with walking away from the beach through a restaurant parking lot before turning down a dirt path toward the beach. Also parking was a little peculiar with the car parked nearby in the daytime, but requiring to be moved farther away at night.

Comfortable, private, great beach access with a few inconveniences.

We had a recent 10-day stay at this comfortable cottage surrounded by lush greenery with our teenage son. It was clear to us by looking at the pictures, but folks should know that this is a studio with a pony wall that separates the bed from the kitchen area (not one bedroom). We loved: • The lush greenery surrounding the cottage • The privacy the location afforded • The semi-private pool (shared with the “front rental” occupants) where we usually had it to ourselves • The short walk to the beach (biggest perk to us) • It was comfortable and decently supplied We didn’t love: • The access to the cottage is off the parking lot of a busy restaurant/bar. The trail actually starts/ends in a parking space which is sometime occupied. Once there was a truck backed up so far we had to fight through (wet) bushes to get out. When we returned, the truck owner returned to his car and proceeded to relieve himself behind the truck, right on our only path, before he left. There is a small chance that would happen to anyone else, but it was unpleasant and an odd way to access the property. • Parking is available during the days only at Kalapaki Joe’s lot, so every evening we had to move the car for overnight and walk on an unlit rocky path, through wet weeds (with stuff moving around in the dark like cats, toads, chickens, and who knows?), and by stinky garbage bins to get back to the cottage. Flashlights were provided. • Though having a green space right next to the cottage was nice for traffic noise, there are numerous chickens living right outside your bedroom window. We heard roosters crowing at ALL hours of the day and night. Along with the studio layout where you could also hear the refrigerator making noise all night, I would have slept with earplugs if I could stand them. We think it was worth the money for the general comfort, privacy, and convenient walk to the beach, but it won’t be for everyone.

Comfortable, close to Poipu Beach, private pool, friendly check in/check out

Wife and I had a wonderful time during our nearly two week stay at this cottage. We felt safe, slept great, and truly felt the spirit of aloha from the manager and the cottage itself. We will absolutely, 100%, no doubt in our mind be back. Thank you for the hospitality!
