Just amazing!

Everything about this house is amazing - comfortable, clean - the lanai & indoor / outdoor living was my very favorite, beds were luxurious, well appointed kitchen, all the beach accessories, 2 minute walk to great beaches, 5-20 minute drive to all the food you could want. Couldn’t ask for anything else in a vacation home away from home!

Beautiful house in perfect location!

We loved the house and that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Great location-we walked to the beach at the end of the street every day and our 13 year old girls had fun boogie boarding and swimming there and seeing the turtles Poipu beach. The wagons in the garage made it easy to transport our beach chairs and boogie boards.We also loved the Poipu Athletic club that we had access to with the house. We expected a pool to be located closer to the house based on the pictures but ended up enjoying going to the beach club for pool time and food and cocktails at the Cabana. Overall it was a wonderful experience and very comfortable house with everything you could want.

Top Notch!

This home and location in Koloa could not have been better! The owners thought of everything and the kitchen was well equipt. We especially enjoyed the lanai and common areas of the home and loved that each bedroom had its own private bathroom, so everybody had the privacy they needed. I can't say enough good things about this beautiful home. We will be back!!

Great house and location

This is a great house, very clean, well laid out and appointed. Just about a hundred steps to the beach. Beautiful lanai and comfortable beds. The best vacation house we have stayed in anywhere. It is one of the only VRBO properties that far exceeded expectations. 10/10. The listing pictures don’t do it justice, the owners are responsive, and put a lot of thought into their guest’s comfort In the house and by providing amenities like the athletic club access, the beach chairs, and bikes.in the garage. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely beautiful!!!

This was the most beautiful, clean and best location for a rental property we have ever stayed at! All we could talk about was how the house made the trip. The home was incredibly clean and in the perfect place next to the best sand beach and snorkeling beach. We hope to be back soon!

OMG the very best vrbo ever!

Superior property, well equipped, everything worked, and the location was fantastic. Five us of in this house, four at the Marriott. Easy walk to Brennecke’s beach and Poipu Beach. Loved having the wagons, beach chairs, and boogie boards from the garage. We didn’t use the umbrellas due to the high winds. Loved the wall of windows that opened up. Appreciated the back up propane tank for the bbq as we needed it, also appreciated the super quick response from Brent when we needed to swap the gas tanks for hot water. If we return to Kauai this is now our #1.

AMAZING!

Hard to believe that the in person experience exceeded our expectations. This house is gorgeous and the location couldn't have been more ideal. Short half block walk to Brennecke's beach but yet quiet and peaceful enclave when resting on beautiful porch. Owner was super responsive on a question we had and really cares about his property and the guest experience. We loved that the primary bedroom/bath was upstairs which gave us a retreat from our teens. Many amenities, boogie boards, chairs, bikes, beach wagon and cooler made our beach experience so much easier. We are quite particular and we would highly recommend anyone to stay here!

Great home in a great location!

We absolutely loved our stay. We were so very fortunate to stay 4 weeks - and the house quickly felt like home to us. The furnishings are beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. The large open Lanai was great. We enjoyed so many amazing sunsets from the upper level porch. It was wonderful to be able to walk to so many places. The Green Belt to Shipwreck beach to Mahaulepu was a regular morning walk with amazing views and whale sightings! We miss Kauai already. We easily recommend this beautiful home.

Picturesque Home!

What a beautiful and comfortable house with such detail. We felt like we living in a magazine with doors that open to the lanai, an ocean view and small walk to the beach. My family enjoyed the boogie boards and beach chairs provided. Poipu Beach club was a short running distance (5min drive); perfect place for a workout or swimming at a pool. We could have asked for a better experience in Poipu.

Amazing place steps from the beach in Poipu

Our family of 4 adults and 2 kids (3.5 and 1.5 yrs) had an excellent stay at Brent and Karen’s beach house. The location is nearly impossible to beat as it’s a few minute stroll to the beach, which is excellent for younger kids. House itself was well appointed, especially for a new listing and had most everything we needed (pack and play, beach gear, coolers, wagon, etc.). Beds were comfy, house was very clean, kitchen well stocked with most things you need and a good assortment of seasonings already. The hosts were exceptionally attentive and responded within minutes of sending a message. Karen’s list of recommendations was also very helpful and clearly had a lot of thought and personality put into it. Driveway is slightly tricky to navigate the first couple times but fine once you get used to it/your rental car. Absolutely loved it and will book again in a heartbeat whenever we return. We are already debating booking the place for next year before it gets too popular and availability becomes scarce. Thanks again for a great stay!

Best Vacation House Ever (seriously)

I’ve stayed in countless vacation rentals, and this house blew them all away. It was immaculate, and every single tiny detail was well considered, from the beautiful door knocker to the ample and luxurious towels. As an architect, I could tell that the owners thought of everything (the paint color, the window shades, the fans), even little things like centering the air conditioner on the mirror above the dresser - so much love in every corner. And, of course, I cannot rave enough about the location. It was literally a 3-minute walk to the best beach in all of Kauai. Poipu beach, where the turtles sunbathe daily, the kids play in the shallow protected end right under the lifeguard stand and the rest of us get to snorkel in an aquarium full of delights. We saw fish we had never seen before, and we even spotted a few eels. I seriously felt like I was in Moana. Also, the house is full of art by the owner, which in my opinion was gorgeous! Thank you so much, Karen and Brent. Our stay in your home was as close to perfection as it gets. Lifelong memories made!

Paradise FOUND

Let me tell you this, I've stayed in many beach rentals throughout my life--to include Maui and Kiawah Island--but this was by far the best. The house is an architectural gem that should be in a magazine. Beautiful throughout with thought put into every detail of the decor. Beautiful bedrooms, kitchen and living room, but the outdoor lanai is where we spent most of our time. The gardens and partial view of the ocean from the lanai were just gorgeous. As for amenities, the house had everything--a high chair for the grandkid, boogie boards, two wagons, beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, towels, games, stocked pantry with spices and such, and a great guide to the area written by Brent the owner. As for the area, it was fantastic. We hit Brennecke beach just down the path to boogie board the wave. The grandkid loved the shallow baby beach and protected lagoon, and Poipu Beach was just beautiful with the numerous turtles and seals sunning themselves on the sand next to us tourists. The house was also close to Port Allen for sailing excursions to the Napili Coast (a MUST) and hiking in Waimea Canyon. There are also great restaurants nearby and shopping as well. Finally, Brent was a great host and stopped by to give me some history of the house and see if there was anything we needed, even asking for suggestions on what he could add. Can't help on the latter--maybe a plastic cup to take to the beach, LOL. That's it. You can't go wrong with this house. It's a gem.
