Our favorite part of our vacation was being able to spend time with our friends and family at this condo! It is so beautiful and close to restaurants, shops, the best beaches, etc. We woke up in the morning to the sounds of the ocean which totally made our vacation. We will definitely try to return here when we come next time!

We rented 3 condos in this resort for a family gathering. This particular condo became the favorite place to hang out because the upstairs living room/dining room area is so comfortable and spacious and it was the only one unit with air conditioning.

Kauai family adventure
We absolutely loved our stay here. The unit "Ocean Blue" is so clean and comfortable. Our family of 5 had plenty of space and the unit had everything we needed in it. We enjoyed touring the island and had many activities planned but on afternoons and evenings when we wanted to recharge at home, we found the unit to be the perfect place to be. Just a short walk to the beautiful beach (we took surf lessons there) and great for cooking family dinners and playing games. The unit is quiet and the breeze was perfect. We loved everything about this home and hope to be back soon!

Wonderful property, super close to beach and restaurants.
This is a great property that is just a short walk from the Poi Pu beach. The property is large, with lots of room the stretch out. Across the street are great restaurants, and the property is a short drive from both Safeway and Costco in Lihue. Laura is a great host, and is very responsive to guest's needs. The property comes stocked with all the things you need for a great day at the beach, including boogie boards and snorkel gear. The property also has all the basics you need (spices, rice, etc.) to cook a wonderful dinner at home after a long day at the beach. I highly recommend Laura and her property!

Poipu Paradise
We loved our week in Laura's condo! She was lightning fast responsive, extremely helpful in her replies, and very accurate in her descriptions. The condo was clean, updated, and had all the amenities we needed for a week in Paradise. The location within walking distance to the beach was ideal, and the resort grounds were meticulously maintained with plumeria and mango trees among orchids and palms. Thank you for for sharing your little piece of Paradise with us. We hope to return again, not so far in the future. Mahalo and e malama!

Great location to walk to beach, shops, and food.
This VRBO has everything needed to comfortably relax and enjoy some downtime. Our family appreciated that the shared space (lanai, kitchen, dining, and living room) was on a different level than the bedrooms and bathrooms. We had 2 adults and 2 teenagers in the VRBO and had plenty of space to sit together as well as separately when we wanted some privacy. We also appreciated the quality of the furniture, especially the mattresses and bedding. I've stayed in enough VRBOs to know this is not always a given. One thing to be aware of in these units (not just this VRBO) is that there are shudders vs glass windows in the kitchen and bedrooms. This allows noise to easily travel in (and out) at all times of the day which is most problematic in the guest bedroom if you are a light sleeper due to other nearby guests and roosters. From the VRBO, it's a short walk to anything you need - grocery, coffee, fitness, pool, beach, etc. Overall, this is a great property and I would definitely stay here again.

3yo First Travel
This was our first real travel with our daughter and it was perfect for her. We had an amazing time here. The location was so much better than we anticipated, you're so close you can hear the waves. Just a 4min walk to the actual beach which, at least for the duration of our stay, wasn't crowded at all. Our daughter spread out all the sand castles. The accommodation itself was very clean, nice relaxing decor (even better than the pictures at the moment) and well stocked with kitchen cooking needs so we could prepare a few of our own meals. Our daughter could spread out and be a rambunctious 3yo without disturbing anyone. And the AC! AC is a must for a bunch of northerners who aren't used to humidity! Overall we loved our stay so much we've already made it a goal to visit in two years, this time with both kids.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Brown

Host profile image
I grew up in California and have fond memories of playing at the beach with my family. While attending the university, I met and married my wonderful husband. We honeymooned in Maui and Oahu where we experienced the incredible Hawaiian islands for the first time. We graduated from college and he whisked me off to his home in Wyoming. We have lived there for 21 years now. It is a great place to raise our 5 children. Now we have 3 grandchildren who live there as well! (My husband and I are pictured with our oldest granddaughter on Poipu Beach.) We have horses and enjoy taking them into the Rocky Mountains for week long "high adventures" in the summer time. In the winter we like to ski/snowboard as a family.
You can guess that raising 5 children comes with great blessings, but also expense. We always wanted to return to the Hawaiian islands, but it wasn't until our 25th anniversary that we returned. We wanted to share this beautiful place with our children so we took them all with us. They too fell in love with the incredible beaches with crystal clear water and the beautiful trees that produce flowers. That trip was over an Easter Sunday so we met as a family on the beach for our own "sunrise service" on the sand and expressed our love for each other. It was a special bonding time and a memory to be treasured.
On our first trip to Kauai, we knew we had found our "place in the world". Kauai was clean with lots of open land which is what we liked about Wyoming. It did not have the high rises and bustle of the other Hawaiian islands. When we visited the sunny south shore and the tropical open spaces of the Kiahuna Resort, we knew we had found our new home. We came for a two week stay and then turned around and went back again the next month! When the opportunity came to purchase a condo at Kiahuna, we took it! We have renovated and redecorating it with all of the things that we love. It is our beach home for half of the year.
