The owner, Steve, was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The home was perfect…well equipped and had everything you’d ever need. The location cannot be beat. The playground, the beach, the pickleball court, the turtles, restaurants within walking distance…all in all one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve ever had. We were all so happy to be there (5 adults, 1 toddler). Thank you.

The location of this ocean front house is ideal. It is steps away from two beaches that give endless fun for toddlers to seniors.
The house is spacious, comfortable, and nicely furnished. The upstairs and downstairs are essentially two separate units. The upstairs lanai and the two bedrooms have ocean view. The jalousie windows on the second floor let in ocean breeze and good circulation at night. One can have, as I did, the true Hawaiian experience of sleeping comfortably (in August with the A/C turned off ) and rock to sleep by surf sound and tree rustling.
The kitchen is well equipped. The availability of a outdoor propane grill, a large slow cooker and an rice cooker is especially great for preparing family meals. In the garage, sand toys are plentiful for the young. Surf boards, boogie boards and snorkeling gears are available for the active teens and adults. Beach chairs and umbrellas are for there for the not-so-young.
On the day of our arrival, the owner called to say he was replacing an appliance. The contractor was very nice and he gave us recommendations for places to visit. During our week long stay, the owner responded promptly to our requests and needs.
All of us had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.

We traveled with our adult kids and had a great time. The house was close to the beach and we had a great time boogie boarding, sitting on the deck watching the waves and hiking. The house had plenty of beach chairs and beach towels. Steve is great at making sure you have everything you need. Would definitely stay here again!

House was very big and well stocked with linens, towels, and kitchen supplies. The owner is super responsive and responds to messages very quickly. Downstairs is a bedroom and bathroom with another room with 2 twin beds but NO door on that room and you have to walk through it to get upstairs so kinda not a bedroom… okay for kids. Main floor is nice and consists of well stocked kitchen and living room, master bedroom and bath with jetted tub…not exactly a “hot tub”. There is also another bedroom with a bath on the main level that has a door to the lanai but this room is NOT air-conditioned. There were fans but no AC and it was rather hot & toasty in that room but the rest of the house was very comfortable.There is also a hide-a-bed on the main floor in what could be a bedroom but again no door on this room. The property had beach chairs and beach toys. The lanai overlooked poipu beach and was next door to the famous Puka Dog. I enjoyed the house very much!

We selected Kauai for our family vacation. There were nine of us including my adult children and grandchildren. This house was perfect for us. It was clean, had plenty of beds, an excellent open kitchen, dining, living area and a patio with ocean views. Steve was great with communication and the house had everything we needed. It was also just a few steps to the beach where we enjoyed snorkeling, boogie boarding, and relaxing in the sun. My favorite part was watching the turtles swim up to the beach to rest overnight or watching them swim back into the ocean each morning. Truly amazing!! A perfect family vacation for all ages.

Excellent location

This is a great property, excellent location steps from Poipu beach.
A great view from the lanai, close to shopping, A/C that works great.
We would not hesitate to rent this place again.
Thanks.

This home is perfect for any family. There were nine of us and so much room and we were able to spread out. It has all the comforts of home. The beach is right across the road which is not busy. You can see some of the most beautiful sunsets and see the green turtles in the evening. It is located in a great area. Our grandsons really enjoyed using the boogey boards.
Steve was terrific if I had any questions. He would get back to me immediately and said if we had any questions to just let him know. He is probably one of the best people we have ever had the pleasure of using their property. We had a blast and wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved this spacious beach house. The property is well taken care of. Great location and short walk to the park and beach to see the green sea turtles and Monk seals. The house had everything we needed to enjoy the beach. My wife and I especially loved leaving the louvered windows open and hearing the ocean at night. Loved our stay. We would highly recommend staying here! The host was quick to reply and was great with communications! Thanks Steve!

The location to the beach was amazing. Also loved how the adult rooms with private baths were upstairs and the kids had the downstairs all to themselves. Ideal set up for two families!

Spacious and airy. Outside merged beautifully with inside. We loved being so close to the park and beaches and water. It made it posssible for us to do our own things individually and easily reconvene all together. We all liked having a good mix of alone time and family time. It was pleasant to cook in the kitchen and there were numerous places to eat that we could walk to. We appreciated the stock of beach chairs, boogie boards, sand toys ( which we used even though our youngest is 29), and various other beach paraphernalia. My wife and I especially loved leaving the louvered windows open and hearing the ocean at night. Parking was easy. The outdoor shower made rinsing off the sand easy and pleasant. Nobody wanted to leave and we all hope to be back again.

I booked the house for myself, fiancé, our kids and a few friends. Great location a short 2 minute walk to the beach. Lots of restaurants both walking distance and a short 5 minute drive. We appreciated the house having beach towels, chairs, cooler and toys for the kids. Made the days at the beach very enjoyable. Kitchen came well supplied without silverware, glassware, dinnerware and cooking equipment. The house also had plenty of room for everyone to lounge around and a lovely patio to relax on.

This house was perfect for us, plenty of room and parking for our whole party of 6 and two cars. It has easy access to the beach with lots of swimming, snorkeling, and boogie boarding opportunities. There is a nice big lanai on the upper level that is perfect for sitting and watching the ocean. My 101 year old father was with us and he spent hours out on the lanai! There are, by my father's count (lol) 13 steps to go up to the second floor. He was able to manage that but it is something to keep in mind if steps are a challenge. There is living area downstairs as well, but the kitchen and dining area are upstairs. Steve, the owner, was very assessable and responds almost immediately to emails and text messages if you have questions during your stay. I definitely 10/10 recommend this property!

The property is well-taken care of. Great location. Right across quiet street from Brennecke beach. We could see the turtles and monk seals every day. Views from the house are beautiful.

This house is right in the best spot… a few doors down literally around the corner is a Surf shop next-door to it is puka dog, which gets a long line around it. Upstairs from that puka dog is a deli and another restaurant ,and then you’re only about 2 miles from a gazillion other restaurants, and they are fantastic.
Walk 100 steps you’re on the beach every night turtles and seals. Come up to rest on the beach to the right. There’s kind of two of them the night we left they had 19 turtles on the beach. It was awesome the left side beach is where are you going to do boogie boarding bidy surfing with the turtles even some manta Ray’s joined the fun and could be seen in the waves.
We had a few issues that we chose not to resolve with Steve because we were able to take care of it ourselves. The cable wasn’t working we ended up just using airplay or Casting to the televisions from our phones so we were able to watch TV we did call Steve he immediately responded to us, but we needed to respond back to him. We did not follow up after we’ve discovered, we could take care of the situation with our own DIRECTV.
The cleaning crew needs to pay more attention to detail in regards to cleaning the showers and taking initiative to change things themselves like the ripped and severely moldy shower curtain liner in the downstairs bathroom.
Steve is not there to be able to notice this , it’s obvious, and they ignored it.
Definitely would stay here again !

This property accommodated our two families very well. Awesome room for common living. The location was great with easy access to the beach and the turtles! Highly recommend. The manager was quick to respond. To make sure we had everything we needed. Boogie boards and chairs for the beach in the garage were a great addition. Also, really loved the outdoor shower to get all the sand off before we came into the house.

We found this house to be absolutely perfect for my husband and I, along with our grown children and their spouses. There was a lot of space for three couples and everyone had their own private bedroom and bathroom, which was ideal. The lennai (sp??) was a great gathering space with a perfect view of the ocean. It was so nice to be right across the street from the water and we could get to the ocean in a heart beat. Our landlord, Steve, was very accommodating and whenever we needed anything, it was taken care of. The one minor thing was how difficult the blinds in both upstair bedroom windows were to open and close. This was the first time I have been to Hawaii and I couldn't have dreamed of a better location or house to be in. Thanks so much for making our stay so delightful!!

This house was perfect for the 10 of us. We range in ages from 72 to 5 years old and every single one of us enjoyed the house. The house was yards away from the beach, local restaurant and surf shop. There was a small play ground for the little ones across the street and the most perfect cove for our smaller swimmers. There were plenty of beach towels for us to use and the outdoor hot shower was a great feature! We will definitely be looking for this house again if come back to Kauai!

April 2023
Property was as described. Easy access to both Brenekke's and Poipu Beaches, with views of the ocean from the porch. Kitchen was reasonably well stocked. Could have used more kitchen towels. We texted with the owner about a small issue (our group needed an additional fan) and he was responsive, and reimbursed us for the purchase. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation in paradise!
March 2023
We were a group of eight, ages 74 to 16. The home was exactly what we desired. There was room to spread out and the patio was a favorite spot for the whole family.
Walking to beach was a daily event. Beach chair and umbrellas help to make the beach a favorite spot. Seals and turtles can be seen on the beach and if you watch close you can see whales breaching offshore.
Steve was wonderful to work with and must carry his phone around with him as he was available when ever we had a question.
Wonderful beach house on a beautiful island.

Everything about this place was wonderful. Plenty of room for our party of seven. The location couldn't have been more perfect. Right across from the beach. Beautiful sunsets and so much fun watching the turtles come onto the beach every evening. The house was well stocked with everything you will need. The host was just a text away if we needed anything (which we didn't). There were plenty of beach accessories which made our beach days very enjoyable. I have stayed at a lot vrbo's, and this rental is definitely at the top of my list. Do not hesitate to book this property!

January 2023
The location of this property is unbeatable. It is right across the street from Poipu Breach Park, and in between Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach. Each morning, the sea turtles and seals would come up onto the beach at Poipu. Brennecke is an awesome bodysurfing/ bodyboard beach, while Poipu has a nice cove for snorkeling, and a great surf break right to the West of that. ALL within walking distance. Also, don't forget to grab a Puka Dog and fresh squeezed lemonade at their spot right below Brennecke Beach Broiler. Yum! Steve is a great host, and the instructions are easy to follow. The house could use some updating, but we didn't really care too much because we were out at the beach most of the days. Mahalo!

The house was perfect for our needs. Right across the street from the beach/park and just a short walk to restaurants, water sports rentals, and everything we needed. Convenient access to all of the activities (sailing, helicopter, etc) that we wanted to do. Well laid out for a family or multi-generational group.

Great home in a super great location. This home is roomy for everyone and we loved how many hang out options there are. We enjoyed the big deck that is partially covered so it makes sitting outside really nice anytime of day or night. The home is very well appointed with all the things you may need to make. your stay comfortable. We really liked that the bathrooms are all spacious and not cramped.
We also loved being able to just walk across the street and see the turtles and monk seals and walk to Kalapacki Joe's for best happy hour and football games.
Your host Steve is super fantastic!!
We hope to return in the very near future. Love this place!!
October 2022
This property had an amazing view and was in an excellent location. We loved being able to walk to the beach (Brennecke’s and Poipu), as well as dinner and drinks at Brennecke’s. House was perfect for what we needed. We travelled with 6 adults and 2 kids- plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Our family trip to Kauai was fabulous and our stay at this home was perfect. We were literally across the street from the beach. This made everything easier with the little ones. The house had ample room for everyone to gather (or nap) and Steve (the host), is a pleasure to work with. He is responsive and informative and just an all around nice guy! As a special note, I rent from VRBO often and one of my pet peeves is the lack of towels in many homes. This home not only had more then enough towels, they were also great quality. The house also had all the beach equipment needed, including snorkeling gear. Often it is the little things - along with the big things, that make the difference. I highly recommend this property! We are already talking about our next trip!!!

Although I’d been to Hawaii this was my first time on Kauai and I’m glad we experienced it in this home.
While there were some small things in need of repair this is a beautiful home in an amazing location. The beach is just across the street and you have great views from the wrap around deck.
Plenty of room for our group of 6 adults.
The homeowner is great! I had the pleasure of meeting him and when I needed something he was on it right away.
Would stay here again

The house was great everyone had there own space, the stairs were hard on my arthritis didn’t go up or down a lot but that was just me very close to the beach.

This location was perfect for our quick beach wedding. We walked across the street, got married on the little bluff between beaches, then had an incredible vacation!
I had my coffee on the beach with see the turtles nearly every morning and saw a monk seal playing in the water. It was nice to be able to walk down to Brennecke’s and Puka dog! Plus the shaved ice…yum!
Steve was easy to work with, both before and during our vacation, there were a few small hiccups but he was very responsive and resolved everything quickly. We had plenty of space for our party of 10 at this house, plus a little extra for our little reception. The decks are awesome and a great place to people watch. Not to mention the View of the ocean and park!
There were 4 kids and 6 adults in our party. The kids ages were 8, 10, 10 and 13 years old. The 3 adult couples all had private rooms and the kids spread out in down stairs.
We’d stay here again…. Maybe for an anniversary trip!

We had such a great time at the property. The location is so close to the beach you can wake up to and see the crashing waves from the master bedroom. Great deck, tons of space. Near all the beach attractions, food, drinks, surf board rentals. We were all very happy with our rental.

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It had enough space for 6 adults and a 1 year old, everyone had their own bathroom and large bedroom. The location doesn't get any better, we were across the street from the beautiful Poipu beaches and a couple steps from Brennecke's. There were a few minor upgrades to the house that we pointed out to Steve, but everything was taken care of and he was very responsive and easy to work with! We will definitely be returning!

This was a perfect house for our party of 13. We had 4 adults and 9 children. There was plenty of space for our whole crew. The location was perfect as there was a playground, great boogie boarding beach, and a calm beach for the littles within a 3 minute walk. Steve was great to work with and responded quickly to any requests. It was also around the corner from Puka Dog which is a must when in Kauai.
Liz R.
April 2022
We had a fabulous stay. The location is perfect. Walking distance to both a boogie boarding beach, snorkeling area, turtle resting place, a surf shop, and a fun place to eat. The house offers a view of the ocean and an open central floor plan. It offers different areas for a family to spread out. The owner was very communicative and accommodating for our weird timing issues.
We will be back!

This property was exactly as described. The house was clean, well maintained, and very spacious. Plenty of room for our family of adults and would be a great choice if you had children running around.
It was wonderful to be so near the ocean-the crashing waves can be heard from anywhere inside the house. A roomy deck with a large table, many chairs and a barbecue made for many enjoyable dinners and scenic morning coffees.
Steve was very helpful and responsive to questions. We hope to return someday!

The house was perfect for our family of 10. Had everything we needed, boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys. The bed were very comfortable.

It’s great to be that close to the beach.
There was only one beach chair. Had great kid sand toys. Could have used more that one house key. Needs a little TLC . Steve was great.

The best part of this house is the location. Directly across from the beach. We enjoyed the lanai a lot. It’s a great size for a large group. Steve is very responsive.
Only negative is that some of the furniture and bedding could use an upgrade, But overall, it’s a nice place.

I feel I can write a very accurate review of Steve’s house as I broke my leg the second day in Hawaii so I spent pretty much a solid week in the house. As my vacation pretty much ended with my accident, I really appreciated the open space and beautiful breezy lanai overlooking the beach. I spent every day lounging on the comfy lounge chair and enjoying the sights and sounds of the neighborhood and beach waves. Plenty of space for my 4 and 2 year olds to play and run around. We stayed in one of the upstairs rooms and kids slept on pullout bed. That was a perfect setup, even though it’s right off main living area, we spent most of our gatherings on the lanai anyway. The kitchen was very well equipped with serving ware and appliances. Plenty of bathrooms for everyone. A laundry basket full of masks and snorkels to fit everyone young and old. Plenty of beach toys and boogie boards, chairs, mats, anything you want for the beach! Really excellent property and Steve was available for any and all questions. Highly recommend this property for family gatherings! Thanks Steve!

This property could not be located in a better place. Close to beaches, restaurants and a dive shop where you can rent chairs and umbrellas. Furniture is comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped although the stove did not have all burners working. I had to deduct a star due to the air conditioning. The main room is air conditioned but not the bedrooms nor the entire ground floor. The bedrooms were so hot sleep was difficult. They did not cool off until around 2am and then the roosters crowed at 4am. Impossible to nap in afternoon. So sleep was in short supply. Perhaps in months other than August it is more comfortable.

August 2021
This house is located between one of the best boogie board beaches and one of the best snorkeling beaches on the island. These two beaches are separated by a beautiful grass park where you can sit and watch the waves come in. The upstairs patio is perfect for grillin and chillin!!! The gas grill worked out perfect for dinners. We could not have asked for a better house or a better location. Steve was a perfect host and was very responsive when we had questions. I would highly recommend this house for anyone travelling to Kauai!
Sue M.
July 2021
You can’t beat being literally across from the best beaches. We loved hearing the waves crashing all night.The house is roomy for a group. Decor is a bit tired but it was clean.The beach toys are just leftovers from previous guests and mostly broken so bring your own or rent . There is a rental place close by. Hosts were good to communicate with and we appreciated that.

What is not to love about this home? This space was perfect for our family of four plus two friends…the layout provides enough rooms for everyone to feel like they have their own space, each bedroom has a window toward the ocean (which is seriously steps away) and there are upstairs and downstairs decks.
SO GLAD we chose this house over one of the hotels. We hope to return some day! Thank you, Steve. We were so blessed by your beautiful home!

The location is PERFECT! We enjoyed the lanai each day we were there. As mentioned in prior reviews, the lower level layout is a little odd, but with an option to cut through the garage, the family members sleeping in the two twin beds weren't disrupted. The kitchen & dining setup was great for our group of 9, with indoor and outdoor seating available.
Sylvia J.
March 2020
Nice, clean and airy. Only complaint was the ice maker did not work and The outside grill did not heat very well. Maybe needed more propane. But it was close to nearby shopping and the people were fantastic. Highly recommend Brenneckes restaurant and Lava Lava.

February 2020
We had 2 families (3 young kids total), and the location is great- very close to the kid-friendly baby beach and the fun beach by the Marriott. There's a playground and a friendly surf shop very close. Also an easy walk to Kiahuna/Sheraton beach, which is arguably more fun for the grown-ups.
The layout of the house is good for 2 families to be able to split up. Whoever stays downstairs will want to spend all their free time upstairs as it's nicer and more open, but that setup worked well for us. The large deck with view of the ocean is great, and we spent a ton of time there.
I'm knocking off a star for a few small maintenance issues. The pocket door that separates one of the bedrooms from the bathroom was broken; an electrical outlet in the bedroom was missing a cover, and two of the burners on the stove didn't work. Minor things that we worked around, and with a little bit of work this could be a great property.

We visited with three generations of our family (6 adults, two toddlers). Everyone had personal space and there was wonderful and ample communal space for cooking, eating, game playing, etc. A great deck overlooking the beach and breakers but far enough from the 'highway' to be generally quiet (except for the Kauai roosters!)
The real star is the location. Short walk to the beach and restaurants, a short drive to Poipu attractions. Hard to imagine better.
brianna l.
January 2020
This location was absolutely fantastic. We got to walk to the beach to surf and boogie board, walk to get shave ice and food, it was a short drive to a shopping mall and more food. I can't complain! The ease of the location made everything amazing.. especially with kids! Steve is was always very prompt on answering any questions/concerns.
Mahalo, Steve!

We were two families with small kids staying together. The layout of house was perfect with lots of space to not be on top of each other. The location was perfect to walk to beach everyday and to run back to get things for kiddos.
And most importantly Steve was fantastic and responsive to deal with issues before arrival.
Thnaks Again Steve!!

We rented Steve's place for a family vacation, and everyone from grandparents to one-year-old loved the space. The open kitchen and living room were great for cooking and hanging out together, and it was also great to have so many rooms and bathrooms for down time. The location is perfect for walking across the street to the beach or just enjoying the views from the deck. We really appreciated the thoughtful details like the plentiful beach chairs, umbrellas, and mats. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!

A friend of ours had stayed at this house and recommended it to our family. We took our 3 kids (teens, 20s) and staying at this place really made a more relaxing and fun vacation. Steve was great - easy to reach and communicate with him. We never ate dinner in a restaurant - enjoyed grilling on the deck and watching the sunsets. The kids said they never want to stay in a hotel again - even resorts! The house was clean and well furnished. It was just a quick walk to the beach, the surf shop, and to Brennecke's restaurant where we grabbed take-out breakfasts, sandwiches, and shaved ice. Highly recommend staying at this house!

Great location close the the beach. There is a park close with a great beach for kids (shallow and protected). The house was nice with lots beach towels and swim gear. No AC, but we were fine with the sea breeze and fans. Might be on the warm side in the summer. Upstairs with 2 bedrooms and the kitchen is well laid our. Bottom floor is fine, but a terse layout. No wine glasses, which was a minor inconvenience. Roosters are stupid and start crowing at 4 am.... Keep the fans in to provide some white noise ( they are a problem everywhere in the island)
If staying on the south side, I would stay here again

My time working with Steve and the anticipation, excitement and planning for our Hawaiian vacation was very enjoyable. We had a perfect stay, loved being in a home with so many conveniences. Laundry, beaches minutes away, gorgeous views, deli next door and ease of commuting to any spot on Kauai. Beautiful comfortable environment for our family vacation. Favorite picture is our family watching the Iowa Hawkeye’s playing in the NCAA Tournament in the middle of the living room. Precious memories.
There were 9 of us and we lacked for nothing. Steve was there when we arrived and gave us a personal tour …. Showed us how to use the remote for the TV (Yea) and gave us pointers on things close by. Had boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, mats for beach, snorkeling masks sand toys and my grandchildren lacked for nothing. Even set up a ping pong tournament, using the table in the garage. The roosters were a hoot. Coming from the Midwest, didn’t seem to faze us. Made it seem that much more like being at home. Steve made it easy for us to stay a few extra hours once our flight was delayed and I had taken ill. The extra rest is what help me make it home. If you want to eliminate the stress of staying in a hotel, be sure and work with Steve and Robin. They addressed need/requests in a very timely manner. Thanking God for your hospitality.

We stayed for a week in Steve's property in Poipu Beach. It was everything we expected and more. The location was perfect. It is right across the street from a large park and beach with a gorgeous facing western view of the sunset. The house was spotless when we arrived. It is large, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a perfect week in Kauai. The deck is a wonderful place to feel the Hawaiian air at night and listen to the surf. Steve was extremely responsive and helpful from the moment we asked to reserve the property. We were able to reach him easily with a few house questions before and during our stay. He even spent some time with us on the phone suggesting things to do of which first-timers to the island like ourselves might not have been aware. We would rent again from Steve without reservation.

We came to Hawaii with our 4 kids (6 and under) and picked this location because of the reviews of Poipu Beach being such a kid friendly beach. The house was more than big enough for our family and was so close to the beach that we only were in the vehicle to run to the grocery store. The lanai gave a good view of the ocean and we were even able to spot a whale surfacing the one night. We spent a good deal of time on the lanai in the middle of the day while our two youngest napped but because of being so close to hear the waves breaking and watch the ocean we really didn’t feel like we missing out on the beach. Great house. Even better location!

Once again our time here was absolute perfection! It was our 2nd trip to the Poipu location and our memories were spot on! This oceanfront home is in the perfect location for food, drink and beach! A day in the water, swimming with the turtles was beyond amazing! Whether we cooked inside, grilled outside or ventured out, we enjoyed every single day...weather, people, beauty. Strolling across the street to the grassy area, taking in the beauty, was the end of each perfect day. I’m hoping next year’s trip is on the calendar soon!

I rented this house for a vacation with my wife, adult children and their significant others. It did not disappoint. The location is the best. It is so close to Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach, as well as Brennecke's Beach Broiler. And the house is large and comfortable. It easily accommodated our 3 couples and could have handled a few kids thrown in. I am very happy with the property.

Amazing house and location! My family, all 10 of us, enjoyed every moment. This house was the perfect place for us, everything we needed was right there. The beaches are just steps away and an amazing restaurant is right next door! Definitely will be back here soon:). Thanks Steve for all your help!:)

Steve's house was just as described. There were 7 adults in our group and there was plenty of room for us to hang out together or get away for some quiet time. We especially enjoyed meals on the lanai which were easy to prepare in the large, well-stocked kitchen. The beds were comfy as were the rest of the furnishings. Steve was easy to communicate with and available to answer any questions I had. If we return to the Poipu area, we hope to stay here again.

The house was HUGE. Loved everything about it. Beautiful inside, kitchen equipped with every appliance needed. We fell asleep to the sound of the ocean. Walk across the street and you're there. When we were there, my kids wanted to know when we could come back, and we hadn't even left yet.

We had a great family vacation celebrating my father's birthday. There was 10 in our party including grandparents, spouses and grandchildren and we all fit comfortably in the beach house. The kitchen is large which made cooking for a large group a breeze. We ate out one night at the Shops at Kukui'ula (a 3 min drive) but there are many other restaurants within a 5 min drive.
The best feature of the house is its location. It's directly across the street from Poipu Beach Park, which has great snorkeling and is perfect for the little ones as it is relatively calm. One tip, bring some bread (in a zip lock bag) and your waterproof camera when you go snorkeling. You can thank me later.
The house also has a nice outdoor shower so it's easy to rinse off the kids after a day at the beach.
Steve, the owner, was accommodating and very easy to work with.

My current and extended family had an amazing stay here over Christmas. You can see the beach from the Lanai and walk across the street at be at both the beach and PoiPu park. The house was perfect for our family of six. Spacious with lots of common area for us to hang out together. When we couldn't figure out how to use the remote for the TV, the owners were right there on the phone walking us through it (of course, it was simple!). It was so relaxing and beautiful! Would love to have the opportunity to go back again!!!
