Wonderful Stay
This is a fantastic family home in a perfect location. We traveled with my in-laws and kids 5 &7. You can easily walk to Poipu beach and see the sea turtles or go on a breathtakingly beautiful hike that starts from the property. The home itself is well stocked with beach items and kitchen necessities. Would love to return!

Perfect family home base
This home was beautiful, comfortable and in a great location to make for a perfect home base while on vacation. There were 7 of us so everyone had a comfortable bed. We really enjoyed morning and evening walks to Shipwreck and Poipu beaches. It was also really nice to be able to walk home from our luau.

Greatest location
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. Works great for a family of 6. Quick walk to the beaches and to the Grand Hyatt and a couple restaurants. Owner has all the beach things for your use which was a huge convenience. House is spacious with lovely outdoor area. Some things need updating but the kitchen is well stocked for cooking. And the beds are comfy.

We loved our time here. The location was perfect walking distance to several beaches, trails, and places to eat. Also a great starting point for adventures to the west, north, and east.

Absolutely Perfect
My family and I stayed here for 10 days and I couldn’t have asked for a better place. The house is tucked away in a nice neighborhood. There were several restaurants, shops, beaches within walking distance. Owners had beach accessories to use which was great. A/C in the house was a huge plus after the hot days. Owners were very responsive when I had questions and communication was excellent. Would love to stay here again in the future and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a place in Kauai.

A perfect family home in Kauai
We stayed here for four weeks (July into August) and found it to be everything you would want in a family vacation home. All the most important details are covered - A/C is great, privacy is lovely, and the location is exceptional. We have little kids and found the access to safe outdoor spaces to be really great, and the layout of the home to be conducive to great nights of sleep. It would almost be impossible to express how much we enjoyed the place and the clear communication from the owners. We are excited to try to come back again next summer!
