The house is fantastic, lots of comfortable spaces to lounge inside and out. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset from the sleeping porch. Would gladly stay here again.

This was the perfect home base for our Kaua’i adventures. Clean, bright, cozy and relaxing. Coffee in the morning on the back porch, ocean view sunsets upstairs, and a convenient outdoor shower. We take our time to pick winner VRBOs and this was another one. Thanks so much for an amazing stay.

This is a beautiful and very comfortable property for a party of four; probably too small for any more, however. The patio/deck is an excellent place to socialize and play cards in the evening, and it is a 10 minute walk to a fantastic beach. About our only criticism is that the garbage can was not taken out for pick up and the recyclables were not returned before our stay, so that the can was at least half full and the recycling bins were also half full. We also would have liked a little more extra toilet paper and paper towels. Otherwise, everything was great and we would definitely return again.

This house was absolutely perfect! Exactly as described and pictured, great location, and plentiful amenities. Perfect for our family of four, walked to the beach every day, the wagon and chairs along with boogie boards were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely stay here again, thank you for sharing your home with us!

This is our family’s third return to Kauai and this home. It always provides us everything we need for a comfortable stay. Our hosts are communicative and the neighborhood in excellent location for all we desired to explore. We’re looking forward to returning again soon. Mahalo!

Loved this place. The Lani makes the place huge and it comes with all the amenities/supplies you need including bikes, snorkel gear, umbrellas, lawn chairs, and even a nifty wagon to bring everything to the beach.

We stayed a week with 10-14 yr old kids and they loved this house so much! Had dual outdoor showers, outdoor beds, Sonos, TV in rooms, all amenities, washer/dryer in garage, surfbaords, wagon, snorkeling gear, balls, etc. Kitchen was stocked with much more than most VRBO's w/ shampoo/conditioner/wash/beach towels/chairs/earplugs for roosters :)
Short drives to any activity around Kauai. Walking distance to Brennecke & Poipu Beach which offered boogie boarding, snorkeling in a cove or outside of it with oodles of sea turtles, watching 20-40 sea turtles sleep every night at Poipu beach, sea lions, etc.
Walked to Puka Dog and Brenneckes for dinners/lunch and also went to upscale Keoki's which was only 2 min drive. The walks on the beach for sunrise/sunset were breathtaking as you can walk to all the beachside resorts in the area. You could catch a luau there, dine out or take surfing lessons(which we did).
It was 20 minutes to Li'hue for Costco, groceries, Kalamaku luau at the Gaylords plantation, or malasadas at the Kauai Bakery and coffee.
We shopped/dined in Koloa and loved the lobster roll at Kengi Burger-large burrito size type sushi roll..yummers.
We hit Hanapepe (Lilo and Stich city) enroute to snorkeling at Salt Pond Beach and hiking Waimea and Ko'ke state park area. We did the river tubing at Kauai Backcountry Adventures. We loved the north side of the island too-hiked Haena State Park(need reservations months in advance), snorkeled Anini and hung in Hanalei

This was our second stay at this house and everything about it was perfect - the location is close to beaches (where we saw sea turtles every day!), it is well-equipped with everything you need for the beach and we loved the decor and furnishings too. Thank you for having us and we hope to return again!

This place was phenomenal! So much room and great covered outdoor space for the storm that blew through. The kids enjoyed sleeping on the screened in lanai. We had one small issue, and the owner and property manager were very quick to respond! The location to the beach was amazing. We definitely hope to return again soon!

We loved the convenience of this beautiful home so close to the beach. We had our 19 month old Grandson & the baby items were perfect! The home is stocked with essentials and we loved the beach toys.

Our family had an amazing time at this property. We had all the essentials and appreciated how much care went into decorating and supplying the home. The open air lanai was perfect and we did not need A/C even on the hottest of days. Our kids absolutely loved the screened in crow's nest. Great place to watch the sunset. We will be back!

Beautiful, thoughtfully appointed home. They really have thought of everything to help make our stay comfortable and fun. From the beach gear in the garage to the anti chicken earplugs, from the cozy lanai to comfy bedding. Location is spectacular and convenient to beaches.

This is our second stay here at this beautiful property! Love everything about it! Pictures don’t do the house justice, stunning! This is a great location, walking distance to many restaurants and beaches. You will not regret staying here.

Really enjoyed our quiet (albeit for the Kaua’i roosters that you’ll get use to) stay here. Being able to open up the living room really made this stay - a great opportunity to host family dinners and drinks as well.
If we look to stay in the area again, we’d definitely consider this home again.

We truly enjoyed this home and all the detailed information provided by the owner. The house is really quiet even though you can walk to the beach. The house has everything you need and is quite spacious. We really appreciated the ACs in the bedrooms. Highly recommended!

Property is just as advertised. Great location and the house has all the amenities we were looking for. Definitely recommend using the air conditioners at night or the roosters will wake you up early! We really enjoyed our stay.

We will come back for sure.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. The house is even better than in pictures and had everything (and more!) that we needed. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated the new AC units in the bedrooms. We enjoyed reading and hanging out on the lounge chairs on the back porch. There were towels, snorkel gear, and beach chairs available to take right up the street to Poipu Beach (which has some good snorkeling!) We even used the tennis rackets to play tennis at the local courts. The house location was a perfect jumping off spot for all of our adventures around Kauai. It offered a peaceful, private reprieve when we got back each day. The outdoor shower, water spouts (to clean off all the sand and mud) and BBQ in the backyard were all excellent things to have. We highly recommend this stay and would love to come back in the future!

This home was great in pictures, but to our surprise, was even better in person!! It was so clean, decorated beautifully, and fully stocked with everything we needed during our stay! The outdoor showers were amazing, and having the garage stocked with everything we could need for the beach made it all so convenient! The location is close to everything, but feels so private and quiet. We would definitely stay here again- if you are looking, don't hesitate- it books fast!! We didn't want to leave!!

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation! This is a beautiful location, you are a short walk from Poipu Beach and restaurants. The house was clean and well appointed with everything we needed. Beach chairs, umbrellas, all that was needed for the beach along with a well stocked kitchen, where we enjoyed cooking dinner and eating on the lanai. The outdoor showers are a wonderful experience! We saw honu everyday, monk seals numerous days, along with an evening sighting of whales from Poipu Beach! We love this island and look forward to going back and would definitely book here again if available!

We have rented many vacation homes over the years…and this was one of the absolute best! A fairly new home (but built beautifully in traditional Hawai’i style) that is well appointed and has everything you need for the beach! Located at the end of a 4-house driveway, it was very private and quiet - if you don’t count the roosters! Located literally across the road from 2 great beaches (and the turtles!) and near Brennecke’s cafe and a walkable distance to coffee shops and Poipu shopping village. Don’t hesitate - book it if it’s available!

We have stayed at this beautiful home for at least 7 years now. The house is so beautiful and cozy and has all the amenities that makes it feel like our second home. I honestly could not think of anything that would make this home better. The beds are comfortable and the garage is organized with all the beach toys and supplies you need - including a wagon to transport everything. We love the outdoors showers and the open feel to this home. The owners are so responsive and very pleasant to work with. Mahalo for another amazing stay and vacation!

This property is just as others have described. Clean and fully stocked with anything you could need. Loved the outdoor showers and outdoor beds. A block from the beach. We are from Florida and did appreciate the recent addition of A/C in the bedrooms. There are very detailed instructions for using all the fans and TVs. We went with our teen aged sons and they had their own hang out space. The absolutely only thing I can think of that might be nice is a Brita pitcher for the fridge since the tap water is not very tasty. That is such a nit picky thing though. I highly recommend this place- I would stay here again without any hesitation. The Stanges have thought of everything! Thank you!

I hate to just echo what everyone else has said about Hale Honu, but this is such a gem and it's hard not to. My family of three (including my 15-month-old) enjoyed everything about our stay. The listing is accurate, but if anything it doesn't do this place justice. I was amazed with how well-equipped this place was including a fully-stocked kitchen and baby gear insuring we didn't need to travel with much. We were set for the beach with beach toys, umbrellas, chairs and even a wagon. With just steps away from the beach, we took advantage of our early mornings (thanks, time change) by walking to Brenneke's for sunrises and watching for turtles (and saw some seals too). We knew this trip with our little one would mean lots of hanging at the house and this was the perfect house for that reason. We loved the lanai for morning and evening relaxing. This home has such a unique ability to feel quiet and secluded while still being in the heart of Poipu beach. We were in town for the Kauai marathon and this proved to be excellent location to the start and finish lines. I hope we someday can visit again. If this is available (which it seems to not be often), do not pass on a stay here. You will not be disappointed.
10.0 / 10.0
Perfect house for a small family. We spent almost every sunrise & sunset on beach watching turtles come in & go out & swimming. We ate on lanai every night. Eould return in a heartbeat! My only rec is maybe one more big oscillating fan since there is no AC, otherwise it was simply perfect.
