Private & Serene Cottage Poipu Beach TVNC #4209

Cute stand-alone unit that is very comfortable for couple. Walking to beach(10-15min), shopping, restaurants. Excellent parking off street. Convenient laundry. Unique bathtub/shower combo. Extra amenities include beach chairs, umbrella, towels, boogie boards, etc. Price was better than resorts with much more privacy in clean neighborhood.

We had a great 10-day stay at Pua Hale in Poipu. The place is actually bigger than the pictures - especially the living/dining/kitchen area. It's in a great location - walkable to Poipu Beach (you must go at sunset to watch the turtles come sleep for the night on the shore) and close to shopping/dining, and other beaches. You are at one with nature in the cottage as you'll see and hear tons of birds and geckos. The patio was a nice private area to relax and BBQ in. Loved having a washer/dryer, beach supplies all in great condition (umbrella, towels, chairs, boogie boards) during our stay. Andrew was a great host - we enjoyed chatting with him and meeting his friendly pup!

Pua Hale is a perfect place to slow down, breathe, and get a small glimpse into life on the island and its gentle rhythm. I was drawn to this home because of the light in the photos — something about it felt peaceful, and it turned out to be true. The neighborhood was quiet, the sun was warm and bright, and the layout of the property felt open while still offering a strong sense of privacy. I felt relaxed and able to fully unwind.The location within walking distance to the beach was ideal for our plans — bodyboarding, surfing, and long walks day and night. We even saw monk seals and turtles resting on the sand, which was unforgettable. The beach towels and beach chairs provided by the host were very helpful.The house has a subtle Japanese touch, with shoji-style details and an east-facing opening in the surrounding wall shaped almost like a torii gate, perfectly framing the sunrise. Watching the sun come up from the small private garden became the highlight of my stay. Listening to birds while sipping coffee in the soft morning light reminded me of the kind of life I dream about.A sweet surprise was the house gecko. He appeared on the first night and then stayed near the bedroom, chirping softly each morning as if to say “time to wake up.” Learning later that “yamori” means “house protector” in Japanese made the memory even more special.The garden also had a beautiful rainbow eucalyptus tree and blooming plumeria that greeted us each day. We met the host only at the

Great communication. Short walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay again.

Loved our stay in this quaint Japanese-inspired house! A quick 10 minute walk to the beaches for swimming, snorkeling, boogie boarding, beautiful sunrise and sunset views, turtles, seals and tasty food. The kitchen was adequately equipped with all we needed and had an excellent blender. Having the laundry room available, beach goodies like towels, chairs and boogie boards, and also having air conditioning for some warmer evenings while we were there was so appreciated. The two cats that visit out on the patio are very sweet. Host was a good communicator and gave us plenty of privacy.

The check in instructions were easy to follow. The listing photos have to be at least 10 years old. The place does not look the same, specially the shower. The whole place had a layer of grime to the point the floor was slippery. It really felt like it had not been properly cleaned between multiple bookings. Towels not only smelled but were so old they were fraying. Window blinds had missing slats and it was specially annoying at night since the neighbors motion activated light was triggered by animals and would shine directly on my face. The sofa bed was so unacceptably uncomfortable our friend left early cause he couldn’t take anymore. The bathroom sink was so clogged we decided to just use the kitchen sink for most things. Overall we felt catfished, the place was unacceptably dirty and the host was pretty odd in the few interactions we had.In all fairness I didn’t mention any of this because we trying to relax and not deal with a stressful situation during our holiday.

Pua Hale was perfect for our travel needs! Andrew sent us very detailed and clear check in instructions and the property was accurately advertised, with all the amenities we needed, from a well-stocked kitchen, to the beach chairs/towels/boogie boards, the close proximity to the beach…and a sweet orange kitty (Bullet) who greeted us frequently as well as the geckos that hung around outside. We had a mishap were we accidentally broke a small hole in the carafe of the coffee maker while washing it, but Andrew brought us a back up carafe in a jiffy, which was very kind. I would definitely stay again at Pua Hale and would recommend to anyone! Mahalo Andrew!

All the amenities you need, easy walk to the beach.

Loved our stay. The accessory dwelling unit was just a couple blocks to the beach, bed was super comfortable, kitchen well equipped, and it was quiet, private, serene and surrounded by lovely landscaping to admire through the windows just as the listing pics show. It’s an older place, and a great value for the price. Plus the owners actually live in the neighboring house so you’re supporting local. The beach chairs, pool noodles, boogie boards and beach towels and laundry room were great to have available. I highly recommend it and would love to stay again some day.

Excellent property very private and serene! A/C if it gets too hot outside! Wonderful owners highly recommend Pua Hale!!

Very clean and functional house with master bedroom with a Japanese flair paper sliding doors for privacy. Very private house with nice garden surround, outdoor private seating and grill. Laundry and garbage disposal! Wonderfully sweet owners! Highly recommend Pua Hale!!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

It was clean, comfortable, and private. It was close to the beach, and had everything we needed to cook and hang out at the beach. Andrew was friendly and responded to our requests quickly. We'd stay there again.

All good. Thanks

Our stay was perfect from start to finish! We really enjoyed how relaxing the house was and its proximity to the beach. Everything was super clean and exactly as advertised. We also loved seeing the cute little house lizards on the fence posts. Would definitely stay again!

Very private cottage surrounded by tropical plants and six foot high fence. 9 minute easy walk to poipu beach, puki dog, brennekes restaurant bar.Very affordable. Bed was comfortable. Would totally rent again.

Very comfortable

We had a great stay. Pua Hale had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The AC was a plus especially since many properties do not have this amenity. The location is centrally located to the beach and shops around town.

Very private older property that had everything we needed. Kitchen was well equipped but needed maintence and could have been cleaner. Easy straight shot walk to the beach. Great location.

Property is ok. Some minor maintenance on the property would be great. The front gate does not open like it should and sliding glass doors and screens are hard to open. The slats the hold up the mattress have sagged so when you lay in bed your head is lower than the rest of your body, even with pillows.

We had a wonderful 10 day stay at Pua Hale. This home has everything you need to be very comfortable. The host family were amazing. Location was in excellent proximity to Poipu beach and the beautiful southside of Kauai (our favorite). We have found our home away from home!
