    When we arrived at the home, the entire place was sparkling and there was a lovely note greeting us. The home was absolutely perfect. For our family. All of the basic supplies we needed to feel at home and for relaxing on the beach. The hosts were really accommodating and went above and beyond to accommodate our travel schedule. Amenities were close by yet far enough to feel away from any foot traffic. Would highly recommend this home to any travelers to this beautiful part of the island!

    It was an amazing location and very clean. Great communication and fast. Very gracious folks and let us add a day in! Some updates on the furniture like the lamp in the bedroom (which was broken) and some other small issues wear and tear on the house. Would have loved a small supply of kitchen basics like sugar and oil. Ran out of TP. Overall was a lovely stay!

    We try together as a family every summer on a beach somewhere. Everyone agreed that this was by far the best home ever. Never mind it was in Kauai. Minutes walk from a beautiful beach. Minutes walk to anywhere you’d want to go for food or adult time. Five minute drive to old town. The home itself was child friendly and also very very comfortable. Perfect for gathering as a group. Outside of the gated yard is a wonderful walkway and grassy area to play frisbee or tag or anything else. The kids wanted to do the walkway itself takes you to beach where you can see the turtles come up in the evening or in the morning, my daughter said she saw at least 50. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had ahead of time. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home with us.

It was a short walk in either direction to Shipwreck beach or Poipu / Brennecke's beach. The home was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Also, having AC in all of the bedrooms was a big plus. We would definitely stay here again.

    We had a fantastic stay here. The location couldn't be better within walking distance to several beaches and the Grand Hyatt and the house is beautiful and has everything you could ever want. We cooked in some nights - kitchen has every item you would need and a extra frig in the garage for drinks. The bedrooms were perfect for our group. My husband and I took the Master and my brother and his wife and their 3 and 5 yo kids took the other 2 rooms. Very comfortable and the backyard and open space beyond the gate was a lifesaver for the kids to run and play. The garage is stocked with every beach chair, toy, item you can think of and there's a ton of privacy. We flew from Colorado (over 7 hours) and only had 4 full days on the island so it was way too quick but so worth it. Walk to Kalapaki Joe's for happy hour, shipwreck beach for sunrise and Poipu Beach for sunset and turtles. The owner is VERY responsive as well. They were even out of the country and responded so quickly to my questions. I can't wait to go back some day and spend a full week here!

There were several restaurants, shops, beaches within walking distance. Owners had beach accessories to use which was great. A/C in the house was a huge plus after the hot days. Owners were very responsive when I had questions and communication was excellent. Would love to stay here again in the future and would highly recommend if you’re looking for a place in Kauai.

    We stayed here for four weeks (July into August) and found it to be everything you would want in a family vacation home. All the most important details are covered - A/C is great, privacy is lovely, and the location is exceptional. We have little kids and found the access to safe outdoor spaces to be really great, and the layout of the home to be conducive to great nights of sleep. It would almost be impossible to express how much we enjoyed the place and the clear communication from the owners. We are excited to try to come back again next summer!
