Poipu Crater 16 – Modern AC Retreat + Pool, Sauna & P.B.A.C. Access

Summary:

Beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bath designer cottage with split A/C, chef’s kitchen, private lanai, and full access to resort amenities — including pool, sauna, tennis, BBQs, and complimentary access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club (P.B.A.C.). Located within Poipu’s lush crater setting and just a short walk to Poipu Beach, Brennecke’s, dining, and scenic coastal trails. Sleeps up to 6.



The Space:

Hurricane Lowell Update (9/9/26): Our thoughts are with everyone on Kauai still recovering from Hurricane Lowell, especially those who lost their homes — parts of the island, including areas of Poipu, were hit hard. For guests with an upcoming stay: we inspected this property in person, found no storm damage, and roads and access here are normal. Recovery across the island is ongoing and will take time. Check kauai.gov for current conditions, or message us with questions about your dates. Mahalo for your patience.

The Neighborhood:

Hoone Rd, fronting Poipu Beach Park and Brenneckes Beach, turns into Pee Rd. This winding street is a popular place to watch the sunset on the wall fronting Nihi Kai or to walk one way and return to the Poipu Kai Greenbelt.



Getting Around:

When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.



Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.
