About this house rental
If Kauai has reinstalled the 10-to14-day Quarantine requirement for your dates, we will fully refund your costs, even though our regular cancellation policy is more strict. A quarantine is not a vacation!
Just steps from Poipu Beach and Brennecke’s Beach, this is an original plantation-style cottage, lovingly renovated and beautifully appointed. It features a new fully-equipped kitchen with granite counters, new bath plus an outdoor shower, two bedrooms, screened lanai, and landscaped garden. Its high ceilings, giant airy windows, island furnishings and tropical ceiling fans in each room give you the feeling of 'paradise of old.'
The home is in a charming beachfront neighborhood on a quiet street. Stroll to Brennecke’s Beach, famous for its perfect boogie boarding waves, or Poipu Beach, which, with calmer water and beautiful snorkeling, is always rated one of the top ten Hawaii beaches. Everything Poipu has to offer is a beautiful walk away on either the Koloa Heritage Trial or the Poipu Kai Greenbelt. This is includes restaurants, shopping, adventure outfitters, tennis courts, pickle courts, playground, and, of course, those beautiful beaches. Two great golf courses are just a mile’s drive.
A PERFECT POIPU DAY
Awake to the sounds of palm fronds and waves, and enjoy coffee on the screened lanai.
Grab your snorkel and walk to Poipu Beach to enjoy the morning fish in the warm calm waters.
Play a round of golf or join in a tennis clinic at one of the beautiful facilities near the cottage. Then sit down for a patio lunch at a local cafe.
Walk to Nukomoi’s to rent stand-up paddleboards and try this new favorite sport. Or take boogie boards from the cottage to try the waves at Brennecke’s.
Crawl onto a chaise in the garden for a few pages of your book and a nap.
Prepare a tropical salad in the fully-equipped gourment kitchen, grill fish from the Koloa Fish Market under the pergola, and relax on the garden patio with wine from The Wine Shop in Koloa.
Sleep peacefully in your Tommy Bahama king bed with luxurious sheets, while dreaming of the next day's adventures.

I would round up my stay to 3.5 stars but I listed it as 3 stars because of cleanliness issues. The property looks so bright and cheerful in the listing but in reality it just didn't feel clean and felt a bit dingy. For example, the master bed had a huge dust coating over the bedframe which felt disconcerting as you don't want to sleep in a dusty bed. The ceiling fans and towel rack over the toilet were coated in dust...The ants were also horrible. They list this as a problem in the property instructions but we were careful with food and still found ants in the shower and our suitcases. They attacked a nightguard in its case on the bedside table--just really gross. Again, things didn't feel clean. Even some of the dishes in the cabinets were coated with sticky residue. And there weren't as many personal touches as I'm used to with VRBOs. No filtered water or soap provided. The location was stellar; five minute walk to the beach. But we were a bit let down by the property.

What an amazing beach cottage! Perfect location. Easy access to 3 distinct beaches, a playground, a deli and popular hot dogs. We had a blissful 10 days at this Poipu beach cottage. Can’t wait to return!

Such a great place. Clean, cozy and steps to two great beaches. Cottage is fully equipped with everything you need including plenty of beach supplies. My family is already planning a return visit!
5.0
This place is just heaven on earth. My husband and I had the most amazing vacation here and it simply couldn’t have been more perfect. The location is unbelievable - an easy walk to the beautiful beach and also to nearby restaurants and shops. This property has everything you will ever need, and we especially enjoyed breakfast on the peaceful lanai every morning, listening to the waves and the chickens. You would be hard-pressed to find a better rental anywhere on the south shore.
Unbelievable and we will be back!

Property was even better than advertised. Highly recommend esp for boogie boarding, beach activities. Loved the outdoor shower! House is great. Spent one whole day just relaxing on property itself. Neighborhood was quiet and worked out well, some rentals and some local residents and a good balance of each with a pleasant vibe. Host expectations were friendly and communicated clearly. We were grateful for their logistics support for checking in and out and the rental really made our stay in Kauai special. :)

Perfect location to walk straight to the beach and not fight parking. Have all the beach supplies at your disposal. Clean and updated appliances.

We adore this place! It's light and airy with plenty of room and with places to curl up and read, doze or just enjoy the island cross breezes. The location is perfect- just a couple minute walk over to several terrific beaches. If you forget something (like binoculars to watch the whales) it's a quick skip back to pick them up. The king-sized bed is very comfortable and both bedrooms have fans and air conditioners if it's too warm. The decor is simple and uncluttered yet we had everything we needed, even a teapot! Pam is a gracious host, most accommodating, and she even dropped off a couple avocados which we devoured. When we stayed last year, another couple stayed a couple days with us and the setup worked just fine for four. You can't do better than this!

We have been staying in Poipu since 1972. This cottage was by far the most charming and comfortable spot we’ve been to. It’s in the heart of poipu beach but feels very quiet and secluded. The amenities are outstanding and we can’t wait to return!

We couldn’t have been happier with this cottage. Clean, comfortable, absolutely delightful. Would highly recommend!

This property easily lives up to it's billing as a 5 Star accommodation. It is clean, modern, well appointed, spacious and is close to the beach. It has everything you could need for a great holiday. Communication with the host was excellent.

This was a delightful place to stay for our family of 4. The location was great and the property was exactly (if not better) as advertised. When you walk the 2 minutes to the beach, you are at the park between 2 amazing beaches. To the left is Brenneke’s and to the right is Poipu. Each day there were turtles. We also were lucky enough to watch a seal come sunbathe on shore. There were no issues that required to connect with Pam, but instructions were easy and quick.

This is a wonderfully comfortable, cozy cottage close to the beach. The home is clean and cute. The amenities provided for the beach are on point. The owner is very kind and very responsive.

This was our 4th trip to Kauai and this one was long overdue. We fly from the east coast on the mainland and typically enjoy staying Kilauea where it's quiet and off the beaten path. We decided to start out closer this time (first 4 nights of our stay) to the airport due to the long flight. This cottage ended up being just about perfect. Love the layout, big well equipped kitchen (we like to cook), screened in lanai and excellent proximity to many things we enjoy doing on the island. All amenities very good and the bedrooms/beds comfy and cozy. We really enjoyed being able to walk to Poipu beach in 2 mins as the cottage is very close to a lot of the action there, but when spending time in the cottage was nice and quiet. Property is very beautiful. In the past we've never stayed in a place that had AC, but were thankful it had bedroom units as the cottage really warms up during the day. By mid-day it was quite warm, so turning on the unit in the bedroom a few hours before bedtime made it very comfortable to sleep. They're a bit noisy but, oh well. Overall we loved this place and when we return in the future would strongly consider renting it again.

This house was exactly what we expected. The house itself was clean and had everything we needed. We also liked the items it had such as beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was nice as it allowed us to sleep comfortably at night. The location of the house was perfect, it was a very short walk to the beach and just a short drive to Koloa which has many shops and restaurants. This house was the perfect place for our vacation and we hope to stay here again when we return to Kauai.

The VRBO description is accurate. Quiet street 100 yards from the beach. Well appointed kitchen for making meals at home. A/C in bedrooms is great as it gets hot in the afternoon. Has all the stuff you need for the beach and an outside shower. Would come back

We loved our stay at Pam’s cottage. It’s clean, near the beach and had everything we needed while we were staying in Poipu. Thank you Pam for sharing your home with us. We will not hesitate to come back again!

We had an AMAZING time staying here. We felt like we were staying in our own home and not a rental property. The house and furnishings are comfortable and clean, the kitchen is completely stocked and updated, and it's equipped with everything you could possibly need. The ceiling fans keep the house comfortable even when the temperature is high, there is air conditioning in both bedrooms and a ceiling fan in the lanai making it comfortable to use at any time of day. The location to the beach is out of this world, literally steps from Brennecke and Poipu. The four Tommy Bahama beach chairs were in great condition. There were coolers, beach bags, a sun umbrella and tons of beach towels. Full washer and dryer were nice to have and there were so many places to sit and relax from the living room, lanai, patio, back yard, and front porch. There is a private outdoor shower equipped with a foot wash spigot, shower and all with hot water so you are very comfortable as you rinse off before coming back into the house. Pam has truly done a great job of creating a warm, home-like environment that you want to come back to.

We loved this house. It was perfect for what we wanted. Short walk to the beach and all beach equipment available for use. Lovely lanai, great kitchen and equipment for cooking.

Our family loved our trip. The owner was great with communication and every detail was thought out - from the great stocked (and modern) kitchen, grill and outdoor dining, lovely lanai with fan where we spent so much time, outdoor shower and beautiful decor, we were so happy. And we loved we could walk to the beaches, Puka dog, and other restaurants. Would definitely return!

We loved this little cottage. It has the feel of a traditional, simple, yet very well appointed beach house. Our family of 3 (and a 4th for the last couple days of our trip) had plenty of room and one bathroom worked just fine. The screened in porch was great for early mornings and evenings hanging out.
Plenty of beach toys and a handy wagon to tote them the 1 1/2 blocks to two beach options. Great place to stay!

Just got home yesterday from an incredible 4 week stay at the Poipu Yellow Cottage after two years of planning! We were so very blessed to stay here! First, communication with owner Pam has been excellent! She is very helpful and gracious and gives prompt replies! The cottage itself is beautiful, very comfortable, and has everything you need. There is a grocery store, Big Save Market, just a short distance away in Koloa. But for major grocery shopping go to Safeway in Lihue. This comfortable cottage is only a few minutes walk to gorgeous Poipu Beach, as well as Brennecke Beach, and is a great location for the rest of the island. Take a couple mile walk to Shipwreck beach in the morning and enjoy magnificent sunsets at Poipu Beach in the evening! Swim and snorkel in the safe Poipu Beach bay. Very family friendly. Daily saw Green Sea Turtles and endangered Monk Seals on the beach. Saw Hump Whales breaching and spouting. Neighbors -- both vacationers but especially those who live there -- were very nice. We ate all our meals at the small table in the attached screened lanai just off the dining room. So enjoyable to sit there and is quite private. Enclosed shower in bathroom was large. Each bedroom has an air conditioner and the one we stayed in had a cozy king-sized bed and closet. Every room of the house except the bathroom has an overhead fan to keep air circulating. If we ever return to beautiful Kauai, this is where we would hope to stay! Thank you, Pam!

We loved Pam's home, outdoor shower, beach gear & proximity to Poipu beach. If you love the beach, Hawaiian sea turtles & Monk Seals, then this is the place you want to call home when you are in southern Kaua'i!
Pam was a pleasure to communicate with when we needed her.
Mahalo Pam.

Great location… beautiful walks, short stroll to a beautiful beach and quiet neighborhood.
The cottage has a lovely old Hawaii plantation style and oozes comfort and charm.

Images and description do not do this fabulous cottage justice. The kitchen is fully equipped and we 3 friends cooked almost each evening. The cottage is well sized and organized, separate washing/drying room, outdoor shower with beach gear provided. A cute patio, spacious dining & living room and well sized double bedrooms and bathroom. The house and garden were extremely clean. Located within a few minutes walk to a beach where turtles rest for the evening and seals take their naps. A restaurant/bar/deli place is also only a few minutes walk away which serves good food. We highly recommend this cottage and all 3 of us would stay there again.

Very comfortable. Charming! Close to the beach

This historic cottage is a wonderful place to stay because it is very private and quiet. The dead end street minimizes car traffic and car noise. It also provides a 2 minute walk to the beach. The cottage also provides lots of room to live. A great kitchen and a screened in porch for additional space and privacy. We will return again!

The house is quiet, located 3 houses from Poipu beach, but away from the hubbub on the main street. Check in and instructions were easy and well organized. It was sparkling clean
Everything we needed was provided. It felt like home and we loved being there. Thank you, Pam.
5.0
As described..one block off of Brennecke's beach. Quiet neighborhood even though there were more rentals on the block. AC in bedroom, completely screened lanai but you will have a few bugs at least in the lanai as the door is not a snug fit but it does keep the skeeters out. Washer/dryer bonus...the host is nice enough to provide Kirkland brand products we brought our own as we do not like the Kirkland scent. Good stay.

We just returned from our stay in Kauai and we will be dreaming of our time there for years to come! This property was the perfect place for us to stay for us and our one year old daughter. The property was beautifully decorated and had everything you needed including beach toys and a beach wagon! Plenty of items to cook with as well! Additionally both the owner and property manager were very responsive. We experienced rather warm days while there and the AC units in the bedrooms worked just fine to keep the place cool. It's truly a half block from Poipu Beach which is especially a perfect spot for small kiddos due to the protected cove that makes the water calmer and it's rather shallow. Brenecke Beach is just as close and has bigger waves and is deeper. I cannot rave about this VRBO rental enough! It will only enhance your stay in Kauai!

I stayed here with a friend for a destination wedding that was happening down the street and the location was perfect! It is less than a five minute walk to the ocean and beaches where you can watch all the sea turtles come ashore or boogie board/snorkel alongside them. The outdoor shower and screened in porch were my favorite features about the house besides the location and ease of parking two cars behind the house. Even though neighbors are nearby it was a really peaceful and private location. The bedrooms are the only part of the house that have a/c units and provided excellent conditions for sleeping with white noise to drown out the rooster calls. The rest of the house could be cooled fairly quickly, by opening the windows/ doors (screened in) and making sure the many ceiling fans were running, allowing a nice breeze to go through the house. There is only one toilet, so keep that in mind when considering your group size/needs.
The kitchen had pretty much anything you can think of needing to use to prepare a meal at the house. And there are at least two restaurants within a five to ten minute walk from the house. I also appreciated all the lighting options, with dimmer switches in most of the rooms.
The property owner/manager was really communicative, and I appreciated them having a feedback form available to continue improving the experience at their home. I also made use of the yoga mat and hair dryer that was provided. I will definitely stay here again if my travels bring me back this way! Thank you!

Everything about this rental is wonderful!
It has plenty of room where the 4 of us enjoyed the screened lanai at breakfast, the outdoor BBQ area at dinner, the front room for playing guitar & talking, the front porch for morning coffee.. The decor is beautiful & in great condition, bedrooms have air conditioners & ceiling fans if needed & the outdoor shower is fun & refreshing!
Perfect location to beautiful beaches just a few steps away, places to explore & beach restaurant was a lot of fun too.
Would absolutely return here again & again!!
