Everything about this house was perfect! The pictures don't do it justice. Very clean, spacious, very well stocked with everything you could need (espresso machine, french press, lots of pots and pans, plenty of towels and beach gear). The most beautiful view in all of poipu! Could see rainbows every morning from the Lanai and the most amazing sunsets. The pool is a long salt water lap pool. Location is perfect, easy walk to brennekes or baby beach. Really amazing place, will only be staying here when we return!

We enjoyed a spring break with 2 families (4 adults, 4 teens) and absolutely loved the VRBO. Plenty of room, lots of amenities, beach gear and towels, washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen gave us flexibility. Very relaxing and so close to multiple beaches, parks, and walks.

The property was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed, and the views and breeze on the upper floor were so refreshing. The sunsets were amazing! The location was convenient to beaches, groceries, and food, and the heritage trail just down the hill was a great way to get some exercise and see turtles along the beach cliffs. The only issue was a hot tub that rarely heated up, which was a bummer. But the small pool was very refreshing in the afternoon heat.

Everything was exactly as described. We are a family with 5 children under age 13. We appreciated all the beach gear that was available to use (boogie boards, chairs, toys, a lot of snorkel gear, stroller), umbrellas, beach mats, towels etc. The kids loved coming home to the outdoor pool and hot tub The adults enjoyed the hot tub in the evenings. The views were exceptional - could see whales breaching on a daily basis. We loved the open, airy feel to the place. No issues with temperature control. Staff were responsive to any questions. Good location - felt quite central on the island so could swing west or east/north without difficulty. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful vacation home - perfect for our entire family to enjoy (three children - 4, 8, and 13 included in our group) Had an absolute breathtaking view, overlooking the beach. We couldn't have imagined anything more perfect for our vacation. We were lucky enough to have a perfect view of the fireworks on new years eve, so we didn't have to drive in the chaos, just enjoy from the home. Each morning, we would wake up and watch the whales as well from the upstairs lanai - absolutely amazing. Having the lap pool and hot tub each night was perfect since we didnt want to swim in the ocean at night! The short walk to Poipu beach was well worth it each day, at night the green hawaiian turtles would come up to the beach, so be sure to bring or purchase a red light to go check them out - such a cool experience just minutes from the house! We would all highly recommend this house for your getaway!

The views in this home were absolutely spectacular! Walking distance to the beach and panoramic views of the ocean and sunsets. There was ample place for everyone to sleep and hang out and it was a huge plus to have air conditioning. The home could use some maintenance but the views made up for it. Furniture and home are dated but the house was well appointed with shampoo, coffee filters, paper towels, etc. The membership to the athletic club was a huge added bonus. We used it everyday and it was nice to have an extra pool to visit. The pool at the house is small but perfect for late afternoon dip. unfortunately we had some issues with the hot tub, but they were able to fix it by the last day we were there.

Property was clean, and had a variety of pool and beach items for use. Views are literally amazing and it was nice to enjoy the beach while in air conditioning! Especially when it rained, we could still enjoy the ambiance. Pool was nice - kids had fun swimming and using the hot tub. Even at night the temperature was cool but pleasant. We enjoyed our stay.

Plenty of room for our family. Great room wonderful gathering place. Loved the pool and spa. Very close to beach to snorkel and sunbath (lifeguards on duty at this beach). Numerous beach items (towels, chairs, snorkel ++) in 'beach closet's for use. Beautiful sunsets off deck....I would like to recommend that some repair work happen on the launi doors off the dining room. They were hard to open.

Amazing Views Hale was such a lovely house to stay at during our vacation. It had all the extras like beach gear, towels, binoculars, condiments, even laundry soap!! It was so nice having coffee on the upper deck and watch the sunrise and catch pods of dolphins playing in the ocean!! We used the pool and hot tub everyday we were there. The panoramic windows were stunning in the upper living room and the beds were very comfortable! The athletic club was a bonus as well. My kids loved the slide in the pool and the pool side service was amazing!! We will definitely be back!!!

The description and photos don’t quite do justice to this place. Taking breakfast on the balcony with a full view of Poipu beach, the mountains, and the Pacific is worth the price alone. We stayed with close friends and all our children (ages 8 - 15) for a week. Great time for everyone. Comfortably slept the whole gang. Beaches and shops are all in walking distance or a few minutes drive. There’s snorkel and boogieboarding equipment to borrow, but I do recommend bringing your own as well. Even the lap pool and hot tub were appreciated, despite the proximity to the ocean. This really is a fantastic home for a couple families to get away!

Our family of 6 loved our stay in Amazing Views Hale. The house was spacious and very well equipped. We didn't use the pool much but the hot tub was used! Sunset could be seen from the balcony. The location/neighborhood was very nice and a short walk to the beach. Kauai is a beautiful island and we enjoyed snorkeling in Poipu, a helicopter tour of the island, some of our group went on a half day scuba dive, we drove through Waimea Canyon and spent several hours hiking there. We enjoyed dinner at Keoki's Paradise and Pizzetta, and lunch at Kalapaki Beach Hut after our helicopter ride.Poipu365 was very easy to work with, and any questions I had were answered quickly.

The pool was refreshing and the hot tub relaxing. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the beach. The house came with boogie boards, beach chairs, scuba gear and ice chests. Plenty of beach towels and they even had sunscreen and mosquito repellent. The 2 vases of real flowers were beautiful. Our vacation was the best!We would love to stay at the house again.

Everything about the property met our expectations and did justice to the complimentary reviews. The only issue was that the hot water heater was not functioning properly and we had lukewarm water (sometimes cold water) for the first 5 days of our stay. We had daily contact with the property management, but the problem was not fixed until Vicki stopped one afternoon and tested the water herself. We were given a small compensation for the inconvenience, but felt the problem should have been addressed much sooner.

Amazing Views Hale contributed to what our family of 6 said was "The BEST vacation ever!" We are a family of two grandparents, a young adult aunt, and young parents with a three-and-a-half year old daughter. The second bedroom with the sunken area was perfect for the young family to have their own space, and the rest of the house offered lots of room for all. The lap pool and hot tub were utilized almost daily, as was the grill. Walking to Brennecke's beach was easy (cutting through the condo parking lot a little way down the hill to avoid the street traffic) and very pleasant, as was the walk to the Hyatt on the beach path. We loved, loved, LOVED the views, amazing sunsets, spying Nihihau, watching the rain clouds bypass Poipu, double rainbows, whales galore, and the boat traffic - so much fun! The house is beautifully decorated and quite comfortable.

Our family had been happily vacationing annually in Poipu for many years until about 10 years past when the property we had been renting near Breneke's Beach changed hands. On our last stay there the new management neglected to flush the septic tank in a timely manner and it backed up into the house. We spent the remainder of our stay with noxious odors assailing our nostrils. We decided to try other locations in the Bahamas, Cozumel, Costa Rica, etc. After ten years we decided to return to Poipu-after all, our three oldest chidren had learned to swim and snorkel in the tide pool at Poipu Beach. We found this beautiful location through Homeaway and were plesantly suprised to find it as charming as the photos showed and Poipu as unchanged and gorgeous as ever. The staff were very professional, the location great. The only drawback came later in our stay at the Amazing Views-The first 6 days we were without neighbors and it was heavenly to go to sleep with the sound of the nearby breakers and wake to bird songs outside our window. Then some folks arrived next door to attend the Kauai Marathon. When I say next door-I mean RIGHT next door...their patio was literally a few feet from our master bedroom and they could look directly into it. Our sense of privacy was impacted; now we went to sleep with our neighbors partying almost in our rooms and woke up to the sounds of them cooking in a kitchen again just a few feet away-a thin hedge between was not an adequate sound barrier. We liked the location very much, but with caveats.

From the very beginning, Christine was amazing in helping us get the reservations done for this house. The home is beautiful. We had 7 girls and 3 adults staying there for a volleyball tournament on Kauai. This home was perfect for us. The upstairs living area was big enough for us to hold group activities with the girls. The kitchen was perfect for cooking our meals, which helped bring the cost of the trip down since we didn't have to go out to eat. There were more than enough beds for all of us. The couch was so comfortable that one of the adults decided to sleep there. Having three full bathrooms made the mornings easier to manage. And of course the view was absolutely amazing. It can get a little hot in the late afternoons but when the winds were blowing the breeze came right through. The owners provided several fans in each room which helped a lot with the heat. The only reason I give it 4 starts was the parking. The house is located on a turn and the parking for 2 minivans was very tight. I would definitely recommend this house for a big group or family traveling to Kauai.

Everything is as advertised and more!The house is perfect! Comfy, quirky, with everything you could need. We arrived a tad before check-in and were allowed to unload our bags before we headed back to Lihue for a trip to Costco. Upon return the house was ready and more than we hoped for. We all raced upstairs to see the "Amazing Views." From the upstairs deck you have a great view of Poipu Beach Park and the sandspit, but just wait until the sun sets.Every morning we took a quick 5 minute jog down to Brennecke's or Poipu and found multiple sea turtles laying on the beach.Plenty of informative notes on fridge about civil defense alarm, trash, and other instructions for house features.We made plenty use of the outdoor shower, pool and hot tub. It was so convenient when getting a little hot to just open up a downstairs door and hop in the pool. The grill was very clean and worked great once lit. Use a lighter, automatic ignition does not work.So many beach accessories! Snorkles, masks, fins, chairs, backpacks, umbrella, and kids toys. These are used by all renters, don't have the mindset of being able to use brand new equipment. My snorkel was attached with a hair tie, and worked GREAT!!!Plenty of towels and having laundry service in house was a big plus.I would definitely recommend this property to a friend and we will definitely be back. Make sure to eat at Eating House 1849 for dinner one night. Absolute best food in the nearby shopping center. Also stop at Da Crack for a fish burrito and Makai Sushi in the market next door for lunch.- Rooms are large, especially the far left bedroom near hot tub.- All appliances in great working order

We found this home to have a quirky and fun layout with amazing views, very clean. Tons of space for family of 4 plus my parents. The pool was a fun perk that was very clean. We ran into issues with a lack of updating/maintenance though, such as mattresses that were either extremely old and worn out or, in the sunken bedroom area, a mattress that was not actually a mattress at all. It was simply a thin, lumpy mat that I would never ask someone to pay to sleep on. Also, most the pots and pans are worn out nonstick that have lost their coating and started to rust. When you rent a house, it's usually for the convenience of extra space and a kitchen to cook meals in. The pans were not something I would expect people to use to cook. The house is listed as having a hot tub, except when we arrived, the cover was in extreme disrepair. The outer fabric was shredded and the styrofoam structure inside was broken into smaller pieces. The cover was no longer creating a seal. There was also a plastic clothes hanger being used to hold a handheld shower attachment in the smallest bathroom. Seemed odd and unprofessional for a vacation home.Lastly there were portions of the parquet flooring in the kitchen and living room that had become unglued and had loose pieces coming out. It exposed the sharp edges of the wood and I ended up cutting the bottom of my foot on it one on of the last days. The most disappointing thing about these issues, was Poipu365's owner's response. Her response was felt dismissive and said the flooring was not unsafe (after I cut the bottom of my foot) and she was "sorry it caused you specifically a problem". She also said the hot tub was perfectly fine to use. If I could attach an image to this review I absolutely would because anyone who saw the state of the cover would not want to get in that hot tub. A simple heads up before we arrived would have gone a long way. The hot tub shouldn't be listed as an amenity until the

We loved this house, and really don't want to leave! There's a little upkeep that's fallen behind- some loose pieces of flooring and the hot tub cover is falling apart, but overall we were very happy. The view here is just incredible! They keep binoculars by the lanai and we spotted a pod of dolphins, and many, many whales! The towels, both beach and bath, seemed almost new- very soft and fluffy. The house is very spacious, and we didn't even need all of the beds for the 7 of us. The house is just minutes away from one of our very favorite Kauai beaches, with great snorkeling and boogie boarding. Shopping and good food is just minutes away as well. The dishes and cookware could stand to be updated, but we made do. The house was well stocked with boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs, and toys. I highly recommend renting this house! I could happily buy it and live here forever.

We felt at home right away! There was everything we needed - from snorkel gear, beach toys, towels, umbrellas, boards to condiments like mustard, ketchup, coffee and every kind of kitchen utensil you could hope for - and they were good quality. We had plenty of room to spread out and still be able to stay connected as a family. We loved sitting on the lanai to debrief the day and watch the sunset. It was also easy to take a jog in the morning and get to the beach. We would definitely come back to this house!

The pictures don't do the views justice. They were amazing and provide an open feeling to the ocean and mountains. The house was very clean and we appreciated the beach items so we didn't have to rent. Property management company, specifically Vicki, were awesome to work with and she was extremely responsive throughout the entire process.

Excellent rental from beginning to end. Management team friendly and responsive when booking, and there were no major issues with anything during our stay. We were two couples and two friends, so the lockout suite on lower level was perfect with two beds. House is well laid out to ensure privacy for all of us and plenty of space upstairs to gather as a group. Well stocked kitchen with plenty of seasonings, coffee filters, etc to get started. Could use more ice cube trays. The only minor details we noted were: no chain pull on the ceiling fan in lower level, and no attachment to hang up handheld shower in LL bath. Grill area/ lower deck could use some additional lighting options and to have drip pan emptied between visitors. None of these things were very bothersome for us. I had brought a headlamp and a couple of small inflatable solar lights and these were perfect on the small outside tables. Outside shower space was excellent with plenty of hooks and shelf space. Mahalo for a wonderful stay, we hope be back to this bit of paradise again.

The view is just like the pictures. This has to be one of the best houses I have ever stayed at. I honestly cannot wait to come back. You’re in a nice quiet location, just a 7 min walk from the beach. The hot tub was super nice to hang out in. The pool was very cold but it was still fun to use. 10/10

It’s wonderful to have an independent house rather than a condo. No complaints from our neighbors . The kids lived in the hot tub and the little pool was a cool and refreshing dip. Not big enough for lap swimming.
Lots of windows and openings. The house was built in 1984. Island style, open beams, floor/ceiling is the structure so sound carries like one, open room.
Being so lovely and attractively designed made up for the lack of privacy.
We had nine people. Grand parents, 3 three grown kids and 6, 8 and 14 year old grand kids. We cooked a lot. The kitchen had everything we needed, although a squeeze with more than one cook.
Thank you for a wonderful abode.

We had a lovely stay at this place. The view was incredible and, though it's an oddly shaped lot, the house was spacious enough for our group of 9! The owner made up the single beds behind the living room area to accommodate our big group.
The pool was fairly small so we barely used it but the hot tub was perfect for the winter in Hawaii. The house was clean overall, but we did see some ants and big roaches so we had to make sure to clean up immediately and leave no food lying around. There is no garage, so it's street parking only near the house; the spots were a little awkward to but were always available, so no big deal.
The house also came with all the beach stuff you'll need, which was perfect! Umbrellas, coolers, towels, chairs, bodyboards. And the kickers - 10 min walk to the beach, and access to the club a 20 min walk away which had all the amenities you may need - Killer food, great cocktails, a nice pool/hot tub, tennis, basketball etc. We had a blast here!

This house has a beautiful view of the ocean that makes watching the sunset a joy everytime. There's plenty of room with the two floors and the outside space is nice when you take a refreshing dip in the pool. We loved the outdoor shower as well. I wouldn't hesitate to book this house again!

The above pretty much says it all. Fantastic place (in all six of our humble opinion) in a great location with all the amenities you could ask for. Management company (Poipu 365) were fantastic in all areas. The reservation itself was easy, the changes necessary over the 18 month delay of travelling due to Covid were handled efficiently, professionally and always with a smile. No problems once we got there whatsoever.....even when I called just to ask where to get more propane for the BBQ, the management company told me "Don't worry, we'll do that tomorrow" and when we got home from our day excursion the BBQ was all ready to go........those types of little things make all the difference and we will definitely be back. Absolute top class outfit.

The house is very nice with beautiful views of Poipu beach and the ocean. The kitchen was well equipped with a newer refrigerator and brand new dishwasher. The bathrooms were well equipped with nice towels for a week stay. Shampoo, conditioner and body soap were in the bathrooms. All three bathrooms had showers!

We loved the house and location. The house was equipped very well, for a baby, for cooking, and the beach. We used every bit of the beach equipment, including snorkels and boogie boards. The umbrellas were especially helpful as we had an infant with us. There were plenty of beach towels for us to use.
We found the sitting room comfortable for our family of six. The views were lovely, I would recommend this house to others.

We had a terrific stay at this property last week. So much to love! Views, decor, sleeping areas, beach gear, washer/dryer, well stocked kitchen for cooking meals, pool, hot tub, cool AC, and hot water. The views were exquisite, from the great room to the dining area to the deck, even the kitchen has great views if you're doing dishes. We used the brand new dishwasher and enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The property management team were friendly and helpful. We plan to return!

The house was in great spot with easy access to several beaches. We had two couples and an infant and there was plenty of room for all of us to have our own spaces. The only negative was the dishwasher was broken - but I have to say the property manager was super responsive when I asked about it and even offered to have someone come over and wash dishes for us (which we didn’t take them up on). Overall a wonderful family stay.

To echo what someone else said, the home looked great in photos but even BETTER when we arrived. It really exceeded our expectations and was perfect for an authentic Hawaiian stay. Our family had a lot of fun with the pool and hot tub. The best part was the view from the second floor, it truly was amazing! We appreciated how the home was equipped with everything you need -- plenty of beach towels & cookware. Little touches like the binoculars to spot whales. There are some things that could be refined or updated.. the door handle on the master bathroom kept falling off, the washer/dryer was old and made a screeching sound through the house, pots were pretty scratched up and didn't seem safe to use (cancer causing Teflon), and I knew the dishwasher would be broken based on previous reviews. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved our stay and couldn't have picked a better place. Just calling these things out as I would be willing to pay more for the stay if they were updated and of better quality.

House was great. Pool and hot tub were really nice additions. Nice beaches were within walking distance. Only complaint was related to the dishwasher. It had a sticky note on it explaining it was broken but that someone was coming to fix it. Management company called a couple days in to let me know someone was coming to fix the AC. I asked about the dishwasher and she said someone would be by that day. Nobody came. I called the management company about three times over the course of our 8 day stay to check on status. Had to leave a message each time and calls were never returned. A broken dishwasher was not a huge deal but the poor communication was disappointing.

This home is very unique, I felt like I was in a tree house. I loved the wood beam ceilings thru out the house and the beautiful views from the family room. The bedrooms are spacious with plenty of full size bathrooms. I stayed with a party of 8 and we had more than enough room. The location of the property is on top of a slight hill and you are able to see the beach and mountains from the family room and back deck. Kauai and Maui are both gorgeous islands 🏝

We have visited Kauai several times but this time without a car to get around! Turned out to be a blessing as we spent more time relaxing! The home is centered well in Poipu. The closest beach is a 5min walk, slight uphill on the way back but a pleasant walk via the green path that connects brenneckes beach and shipwreck beach at the grand Hyatt. Several restaurants within 10 min walk and the shopping center about 20min walk with a general store for a decent selection of groceries as we did not stop at the Safeway/ Costco prior. If you plan to do more gourmet cooking I would hit a grocery in Lihue. The house itself was wonderful. Amazing views and all the comforts of having a home, esp. with kids. Loved the open bungalow feel. furniture was comfortable and clean. bathrooms are a little dated but with the outdoor shower who needs an inside one! Nice to relax at the pool and hot tub after a day at the beach. Hope to return and would definitely rebook!

This property completely exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was fully stocked with the everything we needed. There was plenty of beach amenities and chairs for use. The only thing that would have made this place better would be the addition of AC in the sleeping areas. It did cool down enough at night, but the heat during the day was almost too much.
