Family vacation
The house is in an excellent location. Close to the beach and restaurants. It comes well equipped with beach items such as chairs, boogie boards, coolers, umbrellas, towels, wagon, etc. The house also has all of the cooking stuff you’ll need for your stay. Great house and I’d definitely stay here again!

We will be back
What a phenomenal trip. We traveled with good friends who had never been on the island before. We had gone back and forth about rental vs hotel stay and man am I glad we did this rental. It was cozy, spacious in all the right places, stocked with everything you need to go to the beach and having the fenced backyard was a big win! We had 4 kids in total who had an absolute blast playing in the backyard. I also really appreciate a fully stocked kitchen, which this house has. Cleanliness was also a plus! Another bonus was having access to the athletic club. After a handful of days at the beach, taking the kids to the pool was fun. Overall our stay was fantastic and we would love to revisit this house again. Mahalo!

We had an amazing time with our whole family here! Everything was very close by and the house was appointed with everything we needed and more! With 4 children under 5, the backyard was what dreams are made of! We spent almost every single evening enjoying the yard, playing corn hole and yard games. Highly recommend and we will hopefully be back again soon!

Pooping retreat
We just visited with our three adult children and two infants. This is Great home for a family group with excellent amenities and everything a group needs for a day at the beach. We had a toddler and an infant which made the athletic club pool a nice option. Management was extremely responsive to any questions. There are a number of beaches and shops a short walk from the house which was handy given the crazy high car rental prices in Hawaii right now. Definitely a home our family would,love to return to.

An amazing stay in Poipu
This home is a fabulous VRBO in the Poipu area. Not only is the house beautiful, the amenities comfortable, and the location fabulous, Jon and Amy have outfitted the house with just about everything you can think of. Not only was there everything provided for a trip to the beach (snorkels, boogie boards, an abundance of beach towels, an ice chest, and a wagon too), but there were also tons of games to play while at home. We loved playing football, corn hole, ladder ball, and even hitting the whiffle ball around in the spacious back yard. There were also great games for inside play too. We also loved access to the wonderful facilities at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. We had with us family from ages 7 months to 61 years and we all had a great time. Thank you, Jon and Amy!

Wonderful place!
We really enjoyed this home! There were 9 of us, 4 parents, 3 teens & 2 kiddos and plenty of room for everyone. Two different living areas (up & down) was nice for kids and adult activities. The backyard is great, we spent a lot of time in the backyard playing catch or just hanging on the Lanai. The neighborhood is very nice & quiet but very close to everything in Poipu. It’s well equipped with cooking utensils & beach gear. Everything was nice and well taken care of. One of my favorite parts was the outdoor dining table, it’s a built in table and bench, our whole family squeezed in for most breakfasts and dinners. It was cozy & comfy. The ONLY thing I can say about personal preference is I really love staying on the beach in Hawaii (hearing the waves, seeing the water) & while this is not that, the house & grounds really made up for it. It was beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this home with us!

A true gem
Pretty much everything about this property exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, there was one problem with ongoing workers in the yard and although most of them were respectful one in particular was not and so I can’t give this property a five star for this stay. However, the construction taking place is nearing the end. I would not hesitate to recommend the property - it just narrowly missed five stars.

Fantastic VRBO
Our recent stay in Kauai was wonderful! This house is very comfortable, has all the necessities, is in a great location and at the hosts are incredibly responsive and helpful. A wonderful beach was nearby where we did a lot of boogie boarding and snorkeling - perfect spot for both, the athletic club was a great plus for our active teens and the preteens who would rather swim, some of our group played golf, while others did a horseback ride and we found a lot of great food options (smaller, off the beaten path places). The location was great, as we didn't spend much time in a car getting places -- either walked or a quick drive. We (4 adults, 5 teenagers) all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

convenient home in neighborhood close to the beaches
The home is large and close to the mall and beaches. Unfortunately, we were not told until the last minute that they were building a smaller house in the back yard. I had specifically rented that property for the fenced backyard so that three children could play. You could not use the yard or sit on the patio in the back because of the workmen. Although the house has a playroom and it advertises that 10 people could stay there, only 5 chairs were provided around the dinner table. We had to ask for extra chairs and chairs for the lanai upstairs that had broken chairs.

Amazing, beautiful, comfortable, great location!!
This house is in amazing condition because the property owner, Jon, cares about his guests having a wonderful vacation. Every bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, the beds are comfortable, updated bathrooms...can't say enough about the quality of the home. They even provided shampoo products! There are numerous places to hide if you need quiet time but my favorite was the outdoor porch in the back where there is a large wood table where 8+ people can sit to relax, eat, or play cards like we did many nights watching the stars. My entire family - us (parents) traveled with our 3 grown children, their spouses, and 3 kids under 2. There is a playroom for the kids and lots of sand toys to take to the beach or pool. Boogie boards, towels, chairs, etc. How awesome it was to not have to go without or rent these things. The Athletic club that you get to go to has a great place for the kids to swim and even has a slide. There is a great place to eat there as well. We have been coming to Kauai for 30 years and normally stay in a condo (timeshare) but we will be back if it is available. Beach is close by so it is a great location for everything we needed. Jon checked in with us numerous times and was so kind and helpful. The airlines lost one of our pack-in-play beds so my daughter had to buy one (lucky Target had one to buy!) She talked to Jon about having one at the house and he quickly said great idea and reimbursed us so we left it behind for another guest. Jon is an amazing host - one of the best I've ever worked with. Stay here...you will love it.

About the host

Hosted by Amy Vandervort

Host profile image
We have been friends for over twelve years and have owned several properties in Poipu. So, it was very fitting for us to call this home, Ka Nani Hoa, which means Beautiful Friends. Jon, on the left, and his wife, Cindy, who took the picture, live in Golden, Colorado and Jeff and Amy, Amy in the middle and Jeff on the right, live in Dallas, Texas via Fountain Hills, Arizona. Both couples have two children so we understand what its like to travel with friends and family. 😀

Why they chose this property

This home offers so much for a large family. We fell in love with it at first sight. It can accommodate all of us when we travel together. Also, Kauai is our favorite island out of all the islands in Hawaii. It offers a slower pace style which is perfect for our busy lives. We enjoy visiting Kauai and hope that you do as well.
