About this property

POIPU Beach Plantation Cottages , Total 4br with POOL on 1/2 acre,

Reminiscent of the elegance of a Hawaiian era gone by, this chic and comfortable duplex just had a complete transformation. The two plantation cottages have separate living areas and separate kitchens , each with 2 bedrooms & 1 bath, totaling 4 bedrooms ( 3 king beds, 1 queen) and 2 oversized bathrooms.
Cottage # 1 has a Tommy Bahama King bed in the master suite and a woven Malabar queen bed in the second bedroom along with a queen sleeper sofa in the living room.
Cottage # 2 has king beds in each bedroom along with an oversized completely remodeled bathroom with double lavs.
The two cottages do not share living spaces but there is a huge lanai that connects the cottages so guests can mingle, eat meals & enjoy time after the beach. The separate cottages allow guests to escape when they want quiet time & provide privacy for different families....the best of all worlds !

Located only 4 homes from the most beautiful beach in the world, it is a mere 1 minute walk. The lushly landscaped yard is a tropical paradise with expansive grass area surrounded by banana, papaya, & mango trees. The massive plumeria tree adjacent the huge lanai is the most tranquil setting to lounge.
Our home can easily accommodate 10 people and is beautifully furnished Hawaiian style. There are a total of 3 king beds, 1 queen and a queen sleeper sofa and futons for children as well as a pack n play for infants make this an ideal setting for extended families and large groups
The previous owners of the property called it the ' Beach Huts in the VRBO listing & we realized that this understated the home so we changed the description to the Plantation Cottages which is much more appropriate. All the previous reviews reference the Beach Huts so don't be confused, same property, different name.

We repaired & re-built the secluded swimming pool which was damaged in the last hurricane. This is the only property along the Poipu beach coast with a swimming pool. The previous owners could not afford to make the repairs & it took over a year to complete. The massive lava wall, lush landscaping , gated entry offer a one a kind experience.
We just completed re-building the studio pool house ( June 2018) directly adjacent the pool but separated by a 6' high lava wall. This studio is currently managed by a local friend as a separate vacation rental & listed as VRBO # 1382042. It is available as an extra accommodation for our property at an additional cost of approximately $300 /night plus taxes, fees & has a queen bed, kitchen, full bath & sleeper sofa to accommodate 4 people. Please contact Ej Olsson who manages the pool house & calendar @ info@kauaicove.com & tell him you are renting the Kuai cottages from me to get a better deal.

When we renovated the swimming pool we installed a solar powered energy saving circulating pump which functioned extreme well for 5 years. However the 70' towering monkey pod trees on the adjacent property created too much shade & the pump could not keep the pool clean. After receiving numerous complaints, we abandoned the solar system & installed a conventional electric circulating pump. It was installed in June 2023 & the pool now works perfectly and after a day at the beach it is welcome retreat, especially for children

Please check the separate listing for the pool house for availability & accurate seasonal rate of the studio pool house..

Guests must acknowledge the swimming pool waiver & release of liability along with the pool rules which are in the attachments.The code for the pool lock will be provided once the guests acknowledge the waiver & rules.
Please be aware that our property is "L" shaped and the pool is not visible from our two cottages. We ask that you make sure the gate is closed at all times it is not being used.




Many personal Hawaiian touches showcasing the beauty and grace of old Hawaii in a fresh and clean island atmosphere with an open spacious floor plan.

Operated by a long-time local island family in their remodeled family home. Newly available for rental as a 4 br family compound set on 1/2 acre perfect for extended families wanting to stay together and yet have privacy.
The lush landscaped yard is completely private,

Only 4 homes from the sand .A short 1 minute stroll to the center of sandy Poipu beach and Brennecke’s beach, renown for body surfing and boogie boarding, or enjoy a 5 minute walk on the beach to the Marriott. Ocean so close that the sound of waves will sing you to sleep.

Watch the whales from shore and observe the monk seals resting on our beach during the day.

In the evening, take a stroll under the moonlight to dine in any of the three restaurants that are just a walking distance away.

We have initiated extensive covid cleaning & disinfecting procedures. All sheets, blankets & towels will be sent to the local Koloa laundry company for professional cleaning. There will be an extra set of linens in each cottage, stored in bins. Please do not open or use these linens as they are intended for the next arriving guests.

The perfect place!
We absolutely loved our stay at these sweet cottages! Our family group of ten enjoyed the pool, short walk to the best beach, and being able to walk to the cafe and markets. We all grilled Hawaiian fish together, and designate cottage one for quiet preschooler naps and early bedtimes, and cottage two for noisy evening games and sleeping late. Watching the turtles at sunset is magical! The kitchens are well equipped and had everything we needed. Tip - bring coffee or pick some up at Safeway on the way!

WONDERFUL place to stay in Poipu
The cottages were absolutely fantastic and Lance was a wonderful host - he was very responsive and helpful from the moment we booked until we left. The fact that these are two units directly next to each other was amazing for our families (joint family trip with both sets of grandparents and our kiddo) AND it was incredibly nice that the walk to Poipu beach was about 5 minutes. There were also plenty of beach towels, 3 new beach chairs (I think about 7 chairs overall), 2 functional umbrellas (the two Tommy Bahamas umbrellas in the red/blue/orange striped bags were broken upon arrival), plenty of regular towels, plates, bowls, cutlery, a blender and plastic reusable cups. Another bonus is there were two travel cribs but the mattress for the Cosco one was very thin and didn’t cover the mechanism in the base of the travel crib, the Pack and Play worked well though! One word of advice, don’t be like us and don’t arrive right before anyone in your group might need to go to sleep. The units will be fully closed with no AC on so it will be about 90 deg F in there when you get there so I’d recommended getting there at check in time, turn the fans and AC on and then go do something while the units cool. There are also only 2 stand up fans and the front bedroom in the second cottage stays about 87 deg F even with 2 fans and the ceiling fan going and the AC on (so again, don’t be like us and sleep with your baby in that room, the back room in the second unit is much cooler).

Family vacation
The location was excellent! Only one block to the beach. The 2 cottages were perfect for 2 families staying next door to one another, well supplied with beach towels, beach chairs umbrellas, cooler and the pool was great. The yard and the deck furniture could use some cleaning and updating. Cushions ripped, table missing a large tile. Not quite like the photos but otherwise all was good.

Great place to stay and AMAZING location
The cottages had it all! Amazing location, everything you need to spend the day at the beach, or just lounge around at the house. Two families totaling 9 people, ages 13-57. The cottages were big enough for all of us. The kids spent lots of time enjoying the pool in the evenings. Did I mention the location? Within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Communication with Lance was easy, and a BIG shoutout to Dorthy! She responded promptly with any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend to family and friends. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! You will love it as well.

Such a Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful family experience at this location! They supply everything you need to enjoy your day on the beach, and the location of the property is perfect! Close enough to get what you need, yet tucked away on a quiet little street. There were 8 of us ranging in age from 5 to 84 and we all loved our stay! We hope to be able to enjoy this lovely property again in the future!

65th Birthday celebration
This was our first visit to Kauai to celebrate a milestone birthday. This property is in a wonderful location, walking to the beach was very quick. The property is gorgeous, beautiful trees and flowers, and the pool was terrific. The house is well appointed with just about everything you could want in the kitchen, lots of towels, beach chairs, and mats. Lots of restaurants within easy driving distance and location on the island is central for exploring other beaches and island treasures such as the Waimea Canyon and hiking trails. I would highly recommend.

Perfection
This was definitely home away from home. You cannot beat the location. We did not want to leave. The house had everything you needed and was so comfortable and clean. We toured the entire island and all were in agreement that we could not have found a better location. The beaches were breathtaking. One evening we got to see 100 sea turtles. We have traveled around the world and this was the place that we said we have to return to. If you can rent this piece of paradise for your family you will absolutely not regret it. We will be back!

Great location and amazing for multiple families
The location was amazing. We were only a few houses from the beach and I walked every morning on a near by path watching the turtles and some dolphin sightings. My parents came with me and the setup of the home was perfect for that. I stayed on one side with my husband and kids and my parents stayed on the other side. It allowed time for us all to get a break and have some quiet time away from everyone. The house had all the essentials including snorkel and beach equipment. We thought we’d use the pool more, but we didn’t because the kids loved the ocean. The pool was clean and really nice though. If we needed anything we got a response quickly. We look forward to coming back again and really built some great memories. I’d highly recommend the home and location.

Great location for family with kids
We had a great time staying in the cottages. The beach was just a short walk and the family enjoyed ending each day with a walk down to see the turtles. Having the semi-private pool for the kids when they were not feeling up to a crowded beach was a life saver too. The place is well-stocked for a family and we had a blast.

Poipu Cottage Vacation
This property is the best place we have stayed, ever. This is the 2nd time we stayed here. Walking distance (down the cul de sac) to the park and beach. Boogie board to the left with waves, baby beach in the center (protected, shallow, no waves), snorkel area to the right with fish and turtles swimming, and surfing waves to the right further. The pool is perfect, cannot even see it from the small road in front. Heaven on earth, for a large group (10-15), like ours.

Hawaii 2023
I have a major issue with this property and the owner! On our second day at the property my young children were leaning on the deck railing looking at a gecko. The railing collapsed and they fell to the ground with the railing. It was a 4ft. drop. Both posts were rotted out! It was extremely dangerous. The owner did send his handyman to fix the railing over the next couple of days. Besides my children falling off his deck, which he offered no compensation for our very expensive stay, he made a property damage claim to ensure he would not have to pay for the deck repair on the insurance that we purchased to protect our trip! Pretty shady if you ask me. He has not reached out to rectify this so I have made a claim to VRBO and will be following up in hopes of some compensation. The deck NEEDS to be replaced! There were also several board that were up with nails sticking out and other rotting rails. Beware of your safety if you rent here.

About the host

Hosted by Lance Peto

Host profile image
Although born & raised in Canada, I discovered Kauai in 1969 & fell in love with this tropical paradise. We had a home in Kalaheo, 15 minutes to the beach & when this property became available I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it. The previous owners were born & raised here & transformed the home & gardens into 'Eden'. The family spent every day at the beach, returning home to relax in this serene, peaceful beautiful setting

Why they chose this property

This home was passed down from Hawaiian family to Hawaiian family. Its so close to the beach,you can see it standing from the street front. Yet, located quietly on a dead end street. Now we want other families to enjoy the relaxing and carefree beach home and get a glimpse of what its like to get back to the basics....time with family & enjoy the Hawaiian era of days gone by. This is truly a one of a kind property !
We remodeled the cottages, brought in custom Tommy Bahama furnishings, rugs & artwork and connected the lanais & removed a barrier fence separating the cottages. It is now easy to mingle & stay connected with the entire family and yet you can escape to your own cottage for quiet time or to get away.
We added air conditioning & there are ceiling fans in every room to enhance the tropical feel. We recently repaired the swimming pool which is a tremendous asset for the property. It is fenced & gated , out of sight & yet set in a secluded tropical setting. The pool is a great place for unwinding after a day at the beach & perfect for children

What makes this property unique

Experience spectacular sunsets, minute walk to Poipu/Brenneke Beach, Access to local Fruit trees (Papaya, Banana, citrus, Coconut when in season), located in a quiet dead end street, Beautiful Orchid beds, Native flower trees, Walking distance to three bar/restaurants and Marriott, Koa-Kea Poipu Beach Hotel, early morning dolphin and turtle watching and more!!!
