About this house rental
The Catbird Seat private paradise home is the closest location to Poipu Beach and Brennecke Beach of ANY vacation rental. 2 Bedrooms sleep 4. Your choice of twin beds or a King in the 2nd bedroom.
This ideal spot is just across from the world famous Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach Park. It is located on the corner of Hoone and Kuai Rd so just step across to the beach and beach park!
With its lovely island style furnishings, lush tropical gardens and exquisite ocean views over a small beach frontage road, this home offers a true paradise for your Kauai vacation. From your front covered lanai, watch the boogie boarders, whales, turtles, and dolphins. Then step across the road and you are there! Beach towels, umbrella, cooler, and chairs are provided.
The small tropical garden front yard gives you just enough privacy while relaxing in your private hot tub, yet preserving your ocean view while dining or relaxing on the full length lanai.
Amenities in this 1400sf home (plus 830sf of lanai) include private driveway parking, air conditioning, two spacious bedrooms with baths, a large great room, kitchen with eating bar, washer/dryer, outdoor shower, and stunning IPE wood flooring throughout.

The Poipu Beach Park lifeguard station is a three minute walk away where you can swim, watch sea turtles at the baby beach, and also experience some of the best snorkeling on the island. Brennecke's beach front restaurant is a two minute walk away -where ocean view dining and happy hour is only surpassed by The Catbird Seat!

I am so happy we went with this location. I was worried about the parking in front for the beach but they have built the garden in a way that it is not annoying and still feels very private. You can't even tell people are there most of the time! The house had everything we needed and I liked the rooms being on different sides of the house so the teens had their own space. We loved having the variety of the best beaches in walking distance and the wagon made it so easy to get the gear down to the beach. I would definitely stay here again if going to Poipu!

This property had every convenience you can need or want! We were steps away from the beach, yet far enough away for seclusion and peace. We absolutely recommend 100%!!

We really loved staying here. The house met our needs completely. The location is unbeatable. The view is incredible. The beach is mere steps away. Too often places have too few towels, too few place settings, etc. This was NOT a problem here. Everything about this house feels generous, including the access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Our kids lived in the pool when they weren’t in the ocean. We would love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

This house is the best place we have ever stayed in!!! Everything was perfect inside and out! We loved being right across from the beach and a few blocks from restaurants and turtles! The yard was amazing and kept the porch clocked from the road and passersby. We loved sitting in the porch and feeling like we were sitting on the beach but with all the conveniences of home! I would rent this home every time! I can’t say enough about the location and quality of this house! One room has a king and the other two single beds. Keep that in mind so you can ask them to put them together if needed. This house could not be better! Thanks for offering it on VRBO, it made our trip!!!!

The location of this house is great. The pictures in the listing are accurate - it is right across the road from a beach and has water views from the deck. The house has everything you need to cook but there are also a few places you can walk to for meals. We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck with the amazing view.

My husband, son, & I loved this location and the house layout. I loved having the A/C as an option for those extra hot days when unpacking or getting ready. We stayed in Oahu near Diamond Head then on the North Shore of Kauai at Hanalei Bay and this house was our fav. Just our style and vibe. Love the deck and outdoor shower area. Appreciated the beach chairs and other accessories. Owner was responsive, helpful, and made check in and out very convenient. Do recommend and would love to stay again.

We love this property and have now stayed here at least 4 times. We are thrilled everytime. My son and I are serious bodyboarders and when Brennekes has a swell, theres nothing better than to check the waves right from the porch!

This property is all about location and setting. You will love being right across from the ocean and Poipu beach. the large lanai with hot tub is where we spent most of our time. the front garden is full of flowering trees that hide the road but allow views of the ocean. the interior is pleasant and the kitchen was stocked appropriately for cooking at the house. this was our favorite property of all 5 we stayed at during our trip.
5.0
We’ve stayed in a half dozen locations around Poipu over the years, and this was our favorite. The location was ideal, facing the ocean but still protected from the afternoon sun. The floor plan worked really well for maximum privacy between the two bedrooms. We loved being about to watch the ocean, either when sitting in bed or when sitting on the amazing (covered) lanai. We also appreciated the lovely outdoor shower and the generous array of beach gear.

This home was absolutely Fabulous! The home was equipped with everything you need. It was especially nice sitting on the Lanai watching the Ocean and Boogie Boarders.
We would definitely stay here again. Great place and location.
Thanks Don for sharing your special place.

We absolutely loved our visit!!! The house had the most amazing view and even though it shows a road nearby, you would never know. All you hear is the sound of the surf and looking at the aqua colored water. It was perfect. It is very convenient to shopping and restaurants. The house is very well-equipped and VERY spacious. I think this was a big surprise as it was hard to see how large the space was on the pictures. All of us were impressed with the roominess. It was great having the two sleeping areas on opposite sides of the house. We had not one issue and the owner is so responsive. We were all sad to leave this piece of paradise and hope to return.

Favorite place on earth
Just got home a week ago from my favorite place in the world. I travel a lot and have been to many locations that are incredible, but summertime at Brennekes at the Catbird Seat is the best. Already looking forward to next year!
Great location if you love the waves. Stones throw to the beach. Great outside shower.
Awesome place for my family of 4.

We have been to Poipu many times, but this LOCATION was the most spectacular and with all amenities as advertised we used everything: hot tub, barbecue, laundry facilities, beach items and outdoor shower. This home is comfortable, private, spacious and clean. We enjoyed everything everyday for 10 days. It was particularly wonderful on the covered lanai each morning and every evening, rain or shine. Poipu at its best.

This property sits on the southern end of the Island and is steps away from the beach. Hard to overstate how incredible this is! This makes it so that you can be active but also enjoy just sitting on the porch watching and listening to the waves.
Beach right across the street has amazing waves for avid boogie boarders, beach 30 yards east has gentler water and good for snorkeling. We saw both sea lions and giant sea turtles while there. A truly spectacular shoreline hike is a five minute drive away.
The house is spotless and well maintained. Some of the appliances are a bit older (like the stove top) and some are updated (like the really good washer and dryer.) Regardless everything is in good working order.
In the outdoor shower area are beach chairs, snorkeling gear, boogie boards, etc.
Our whole family loved it there.

Fabulous stay at the Catbird Seat
Our family had the best time at the Catbird Seat! The house was perfect for us. It was beautiful, clean, comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfy, outdoor shower was very useful, and the house had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Don and Keny have thought of everything. The location can't be beat! We loved sitting on the lanai watching the dolphins and sea turtles and walking across the street to the beach. The Athletic Club was great too! The pool was never crowded and the food at the cabana grill was delicious. We can't wait to come back!
