Very well appointed place, which we appreciated! The breeze was lovely and we didn't miss having air conditioning. Quiet location close to Poipu beaches and within short drive to groceries. Pool was pleasant! Our family of four had plenty of space and we loved the airy upstairs bedroom. Communication with the hosts was prompt. Overall great!

The place was lovely in a quiet, stunningly beautiful location just a shirt walk to world class beaches. The listing does not do it justice. This home was perfect for our family of 4. When I return to Kauai I would hope to be able to stay there. Attentive management delivering a top notch customer service experience. Cant say enough good things about our trip. Thank you

This is our second time back to Kauai and we knew we had to book this property again. It is the perfect place for our family. Having beach chairs, umbrellas, and other supplies at our disposal made our stay that much better. We had a great stay and can’t wait to come back again!

Our stay at this location was greatly enjoyed and one of our favorites out of the 4 places we stayed during our vacation to several of the Hawaiian Islands. It was a beautiful space located amongst tropical plants and flowers. We woke every morning to the birds and crowing rooster (but he didn't bother us, it was just part of the ambiance.) The ceiling fans along with the trade winds kept our time in the condo cool and comfortable. There was ample space for our group and we were more than relaxed and happy to end our evenings in such a nice space. The bed and pillows were soft and cozy, typically I have a difficult time sleeping when away from home, but not here, I slept soundly. I also enjoyed being able to walk to Poipu beach every morning during my stay, definitely a highlight of the area. I would recommend anyone staying at this location to arrive during daylight hours, at least initially, as it makes it easier to locate. We had a wonderful stay at this location and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay. Mahalo!

10 delightfully peaceful days with my husband and two adult daughters celebrating my 80th birthday. We especially enjoyed the location and siting of the condo amongst the trees on the rim of Poipu Crater. The pool was pristine and often we were alone. We were able to visit beaches, gardens, and beauty spots easily. Good restaurants nearby.

The crater was quiet and perfectly located for us. The pool was a good size and we used it often. Designated parking stall in front of unit was convenient. The unit was challenging to find upon arrival in the dark. Overall an excellent location and accommodation.

Great place to stay in Poipu! Condo had everything we needed - except A/C. I am sure it said it somewhere in the description but I missed it. It doesn't really cool down much, especially upstairs, so keep this in mind when booking.
The crater area is beautiful and quiet! Enjoyed mornings on the porch!

Reviewer Comments:
We rented this unit for visiting family. The unit was spotless and well equipped, management company was easy to deal with, friendly, professional. A few repairs could be made but in general very good for the price. Decor is basic but the linens are very nice, fridge spotless, felt good. One issue was the key locker for opening the front door - I found it really tricky and difficult. Fortunately it was daylight when I first tried to open it - would have been very difficult at night because it's very dark at the Crater.

We will stay here again. Loved the fact that it was not right in the tourist area. The times they stated to get to the beach were not correct if you were walking.

Great spot close to Poipu Beach/Brenecke’s Beach. Easy to access, great communication with owners. The porch hammocks were great, the kids loved reading in them. Not having A/C took some getting used to, but the fans and the atmosphere was easy to acclimate to.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Only suggestion I could make is that you provide a little booklet that answers frequently ask questions, such as how to operate the heating and air conditioning units, local places to find groceries, a directory of where to find churches, Suggestions on how to use the TV and streaming service, etc.

Quiet hideaway in a growing resort area. Although older, the unit is well maintained, is superbly equipped with amenities for a comfortable life over the 7 weeks we spent there.

Had a wonderful time at the property. The unit is perfect for two couples and is well stocked with everything you will need. The location is great, a short walk in a few directions to a couple of very nice beaches. The Lanai provides a great outdoor dining location while being very private. It is only a few steps to the clubhouse which has a beautiful pool and a large area where you can barbecue and relax. If you like tennis there are a couple of beautiful tennis courts outside your front door

The condo was beautifully renovated. Updated and fully equipped kitchen. The deck was very private and large. Bedrooms had nice mattresses and linens (need pillow protectors though). No tv in lower bedroom. The wall between units was a bit thin as you could hear your neighbors.The condo complex was charming, clean, quiet. Nice pool that nobody used. Conveniently located.

This is a nice clean comfortable unit with a beautiful well sheltered lanai that gets the morning sun, wonderful breakfast spot. We didn’t realize when we booked it but the name does hint at the fact that you are really in a crater. The turn off the street into the complex drops probably about 30 feet to your parking spot, then there is maybe 12-15 foot climb back up the sidewalk to get to the unit. We are able bodied so it wasn’t that big of a deal but we had planned on doing a little more walking from the unit to the beaches and shops. We ended up driving most places instead. This unit is pretty good value for your dollar I think with somewhat dated fixtures and furnishings but it was comfortable and functional. There was a shortage of Kleenex, garbage bags and no sink stopper for the kitchen sink and it seems the towels had been put away while still damp by the cleaners before our stay, so those were down points but all around we were quite satisfied.

We were a family of five adults and loved this condo. It was in a beautiful crater surrounded by trees and plants. It was well stocked with everything you need including toiletries and snorkeling gear, beach chairs and an umbrella. Loads of towels for the bathroom and beach. The kitchen had all the utensils one needs in a kitchen including plenty coffee. If we return to this beautiful island we would certainly try to stay here again. It was also in walking distance of Brenneke Beach. The walk does include a steep hill and as we had surf boards we drove to the local beach where there is plenty public parking spots. I only wish we’d booked more nights!

Hosts were helpful and pleasant - absolutely no issues with any of their communication, etc. Checkin was easy and they provided all info we needed. We were a little disappointed that the property was only partially updated and the portion that isn’t definitely shows its age. The downstairs bedroom was nice and enjoyed by our son. The common living/dining/kitchen areas have been updated. We, however, were frustrated that the upstairs bedroom had a bit of a funky smell that we could not get to clear. I think knowing the area a bit better now, we would choose to stay in an adjacent neighborhood but this was a very quiet little subdivision in Poipu..

We have stayed multiple times in this resort and we enjoy it. We particularly appreciated that this condo was not in direct sunlight. This kept the daytime temperatures very reasonable.
Jean's communication ahead of time was excellent and the listing and the photos gave us accurate information as to what to expect.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at crater 26! The house was just as listed. We arrived to a clean, bright and spacious place to call home for a week. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking as well as cleaning. There was plenty of laundry soap and towels. We appreciated the extra box fans to help circulate that warm Hawai’i air. The upstairs (master) room was very spacious with a comfortable king bed and beautiful furnishings. We didn’t use the downstairs bedroom as it was just the two of us, but that was a beautifully made room as well. The pool area was a wonderful quiet and clean space to lounge in the sun and read. The loungers were very nice and the layout provided plenty of personal space. Check in/check out was easy. Thank you Jeremy for providing a wonderful home away from home for our week long kid free vacation. Would recommend crater 26 to friends and family if planning a visit to Kaua’i!
