quiet little bungalow

We had a wonderful time staying at the bungalow. For the activities we had planed it was centrally located and just a fee minutes from Poi"pu beach. The birds greeting the day was a special highlight and of course the roosters. We felt like we had the house to ourselves because we didn't hear the owners at all. But they were quick to respond to texts and served our needs when they arose. I would recommend this spot for anyone. We felt like one of the locals.

Our favorite courtyard location near Poi'pu Beach!

Julie and Darryl were so welcoming, the checkin-in process was easy and we had EVERYTHING we needed for an extended stay on Kawa'i. The studio was so clean and well provisioned, a welcome bag provided local treats, and the courtyard was so lush--this area around Poi'pu is like a botanic garden. Just 10 minutes from the beach but out of the hustle and bustle of beachside traffic, this neighborhood provides a wonderful opportunity in its own right for walks and hikes. We totally recommend this accommodation--excellent!

Beautiful room in a lovely neighborhood

This is a beautiful room with lovely decor. The colors feel so Hawaiian and soothing. The space is actually larger than it appeared to be in the listing. We had plenty of room to relax and a custom designed closet for all our things. It has an amazing backyard and plantings. We really enjoyed the hosts and their friendly and welcoming assistance.

Nice quiet place in local residential neighbourhood

It was a nice, quiet residential area. I preferred to stay there than in a resort area where you are only among other tourists. Julie and Darryl welcomed me and showed me the suite and how to use the BBQ. The suite was nicely decorated and even had tourist pamphlets and travel books. I had no issue with Darryl starting up the truck in the mornings. I could hear it (b/c I'm a light sleeper) but I would continue dozing. The place was clean and comfortable and incl beach towels, chairs, umbrella, & cooler. When I stayed there in December, Kauai was chilly at night (compared to Maui) but after asking for another blanket from Julie, I was able to sleep. The only caveats I have are: 1. you're better off eating out or using the microwave, unless you have experience cooking decent meals on the BBQ at home, even when it might be raining or windy outside. 2. the location is convenient if you plan to spend lots of time in the south (e.g. beach at Poipu) or in the west (e.g. to Port Allen for a sail to the Napali Coast or to Waimea Canyon). However, it's a long drive around the coast of the island to activities on the north and east. You can't drive directly from south to north. Some roads in the north are one lane, and if there's road construction, expect delays. P.S. - if you're bringing carryon luggage only, use up the nice jam that the hosts give you. I forgot that it was too big for the carryon, and the TSA staff confiscated it at security.

Nice place

The apartment was very nice and our hosts were very friendly. I was surprised when one of our hosts said he would be leaving in diesel truck parked just outside our window at 6 am each morning. Fortunately we were able to get back to sleep each time.

Amazing stay!

I loved staying in Julie and Darryls home. From the moment I arrived they greeted me with open arms and made my experience one to remember. With little treats that they gave to the recommendations that they had already written down; everything was a blast. Thank you Julie and Darryl for allowing me to feel at home!

Lovely Place

We had a wonderful time staying with Julie. She was incredibly welcoming and gave us some great recommendations. Beach towels, umbrella, and beach chairs were all provided and the walk-in shower is beautiful. The place is in a great location, near the botanical gardens and poipu beach and although the roosters were a bit loud in the morning, we didn't mind it and actually looked forward to hearing them. We would've stayed longer if we could!

We were welcomed with many treats typical from Kauai, that was such a nice touch and much appreciated after such a long flight. The beach gear provided was also a big plus ! Highly recommend !

This was the perfect place to stay during our busy getaway in Kauai! My fiancé and I did a ton of exploring, and needed a comfortable place to come home to. It was cozy, clean and in a great, central location. We appreciated the beach gear too! Darry and Julie were great hosts and we would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Kauai!

Wonderful getaway

Situated in a quiet neighborhood just outside of Koloa, Poipu and a short drive to the airport. Great jumping off point to Waimea Canyon. The place was super clean and the owners very friendly. The bed was comfortable and the sleeps quiet, other then the momentary vehicle start in the morning (6am and disclosed by the owner). There is no sink in the bathroom (just outside of it) which might bother some people. Beautiful outside private siting area.Overall a super comfortable stay and would gladly return.

Great affordable place in Kauai

The hosts were very kind and the cottage was clean and quaint. Very quiet neighborhood. The grill has a side burner so you can do some cooking outside. It’s a small studio with a nice size private patio and backyard. The host does need to start his truck early (around 6am) but only a few days per week. However, he drives it out to the street right after starting it, so it might only wake you up for a minute if you’re a light sleeper. It didn’t bother us at all because we were up early to do fun activities on the island.
