Really enjoyed our time at this incredible property. Everything was excellent. We will absolutely be back. Mahalo 🌸🌺🤙🏽

The house was lovely and spacious. Kitchen was very well-equipped. Lanais on 3 sides of home. Pretty, garden-like yard. Short walk to beach. You could hear the palm fronds swaying in the wind at night as well as waves crashing. Our only complaint was the lack of AC, as the (downstairs) family room did get warm in the afternoon, even with the fans. Didn’t need it upstairs as the cross-breezes made it very pleasant. All in all a great stay and we would recommend this home and we would use this home again!

My mom, my husband, and our three boys (8,6,3) just got home from staying at this fabulous home for my mom’s 70th birthday. It exceeded our expectations in every way! We loved how close it was to the beach…a quick two-minute walk to boogie-boarding and turtle/seal spotting. The upstairs bedrooms also had beautiful ocean views. The home is beautifully decorated inside, and has tropical landscaping and a large grass lawn outside. Our boys were so happy to have a place right outside to play. We loved sitting on the wrap-around patio in the afternoon relaxing and enjoying the beauty around us. The lack of AC was a non-issue, and my husband is pretty heat-sensitive. We were all very comfortable with the windows open and fans blowing. Downstairs had multiple sliders and ceiling fans which provided a great cross breeze. The home would be perfect for two families or a family and grandparents. We all had more than enough space. This truly is the best VRBO we have ever stayed in, and we hope to come back again soon!

Beautifully designed house with frankly a ridiculous amount of space! It's also a 5 minute walk to the beach, which was incredibly fun. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.

This property needs AC! The disclaimers were not true. The entire house was very uncomfortably hot every day and deep into the night. All the bedrooms and especially the main room were very HOT. This house needs to have AC added! the ventilation and the multiple fans did not cool the house to a livable level.

The description of this property is perfect. We were here for a week of hot and sunny weather. During the day, the house was pretty toasty, but taking a cold shower before going to bed allowed for a restful sleep. The fans also muffled the ever-present crowing of roosters! There was beach gear in the garage that we used: beach chairs and some snorkeling equipment, among other items. Kitchen is well-equipped. Several times we walked the half block to the end of the road to see beautiful sunsets. The Poipu beach is only a five minute walk And Poipu is a perfect location for doing a variety of activities on the island. We began our vacation with a small boat excursion (6-person electrically powered catamaran) with Na’poli Experience and it was a great introduction to the island, even surpassing the helicopter ride we took the next day! We ended our trip with an excursion to Hanappepe, an historic town about 20 minutes way, where they have a Friday evening open house (5-8 pm) with stores, restaurants and galleries staying open late, feeling more authentic and local than the more touristy things we otherwise did while here.

We loved our stay here! The location couldn't have been better. If you want the real feel of living like a local this home will transport you there. Not having AC was not a problem as the winds blew every night and some nights I used blankets to cover up! The house is well ventilated and frankly so well built I could come downstairs for a late night snack and not wake a soul. THe rooms are large and the house is perfectly stocked! Make sure to buy a sugarloaf pineapple and some Koloa rum and make some Mai Tai's and walk the 30 yards to sit and enjoy the sunset on the waterfront as the waves crash. There is room to park one car in the garage and as well street parking was no problem. We had breakfast on the Lanai outside every morning as the birds and waves made for a perfect soundtrack. The garage was well stocked with beach chairs and toys, boogie boards, snorkel etc,. Some afternoons the house was a little warm as the sun reached the large windows but opening all the windows and letting the breeze flow made it comfortable. If you really want to experience Kauai as a local in luxury then this is the house for you! We will be back!

What an amazing home! It’s a very short walk to Poipu Beach (best on the south shore) and close to dining/shopping options. We were 3 adults and 2 kids (ages 6 and 2). The house was perfect- lots of space to relax both indoors and outside on the lanai/grassy area (kids especially loved it). Kitchen is well stocked and they had beach items (chairs, coolers, etc). The rooms are spacious (we actually used the walk in closet for the baby to sleep in) and it was so handy each bedroom had its own bathroom, plus an extra bathroom! Buzz was quick to reply to questions I had while booking. The property manager is now Parrish Kauai and they were fantastic during our stay! We had an issue with the key lock box upon check in (no fault of theirs, just a mechanical fluke) and they had someone out in minutes to fix it. We had a wonderful vacation and will definitely be back! Thank you Buzz & Parrish Kauai!

Perfect in every way!

We loved our stay here. You’re just a few steps from the ocean with gorgeous sunsets each night. We saw a ton of sea turtles, monk seals, and fish at Poipu Beach (10 min walk with our slow kids) and loved boogie boarding at Brennecke’s (3 min walk). The house itself is very well appointed and just like the pictures show. We cooked a lot of our own meals and the kitchen has everything we need; you’re also a 5 min drive from lots of restaurants. The house can get a little warm mid-day (hopefully you’re outside then anyway) but it fully cools off at night with all the windows and fans. Highly recommended!

We loved this place. We could walk to watch the beautiful sunset, see the sea turtles on the beach and walk to a couple beaches. The area is more like a local vib and not so much a tourist resort. We were there for a wedding so we visited family at a couple different resorts, condos and rentals but we would book this place again! Well stocked and clean. We enjoyed sitting out on the various patios and playing games at the table. We are an active family so we enjoyed hiking, snorkeling and boating. We did comment that if we had the grandparents with us they would have enjoyed hanging at the house. Nice place and I would totally recommend it. Our ages are 58,59,25,22,26,24. No kids staying with us but our grandkids stopped by and it is great for kids too.

The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults - plenty of room . The location was the best. We would absolutely stay here again ! Thank you for sharing your home with us !

This was a last minute rental for our group as the previous rented home canceled us last minute. The saying, all things happen for a reason was a blessing as we found this perfect place! The home was very clean, had plenty of room for 6 adults with each bedroom having a bathroom! There was plenty of cookware and kitchen items. We loved the outdoor seating, plenty of it and very comfortable. The location was perfect, close to the beach where we swam and also watched sea turtles in a small bay along with the occasional sea lion sleeping. There were plenty of food trucks and restaurants close. The property manager and owner was very responsive as we needed an extra fan for one of the bedrooms and they brought it the same day! We would gladly stay here again on our next trip to this beautiful Kauai island!

Great location. Very comfortable. Nice indoor and outdoor spaces. Felt like home!

I wanted a property for some relatives that had never been to Hawaii before that was near our condo in Poipu, Kauai...This home "checked all the boxes". It was beautiful, comfortable, one minute away from the best beach in Poipu (if you're a slow walker) and best of all, it was 150 feet away from our condo at Nihi Kai. Buzz was very helpful and, unlike some dating services, the reality was better than the pictures. Highly Recommended.

I rented this property for my husbands 60th. Traveling with three couples, I was hoping we would have enough space to not be on top of each other. This property hit all the marks. Beautiful, roomy, proximity to everything you want to do. Management company easy to work with and very accommodating. The owners of this property were very helpful and their home is amazing. We highly recommend this home. Outstanding!!! Mahalo, Kelly

If you’re looking for a comfortable and spacious home within a 3 minute walk of the ocean, it doesn’t get better than this! We were 3 adults and 1 child and had plenty of space. The kitchen bar was a wonderful place to cook, talk and eat together. We loved the multiple lanais and my daughter loved doing cartwheels across the lawn. We so enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for the ideal home from which to explore the many beauties of Kauai! Thank you Buzz for sharing your wonderful home with us!

We come to Poipu every year for a week or so. We love Kauai and in particular the south shore. Up until now we've generally stayed at one of the Grand Hyatt Kauai. We were so impressed with Buzz's house. It was maintained beautifully with attractive decor and furnishings. The house comes with almost everything you could need including snorkel supplies, beach chairs and boogie boards. The garden is lovely and allowed us to enjoy many of our meals on the lanai. We will definitely be back as this was a very special house and location.

The house was very spacious and bright with natural light. The rooms are separate from each other and very private. We loved how the kitchen opened up into the living room, it made every meal fun. We used the bbq and outdoor tables multiple times. Literally a block to the beach, a little further down has a surf spot and great snorkeling. about 4 blocks to a great restaurant and sandwich shop. We will definitely come back. We’ve been to Kauai 3 times now and this is our new favorite house and location.

We really enjoyed the home and the close proximity to Poipu beach. We were 3 adult couples and the house was very roomy and well appointed. Each bedroom was large and had it's own on-suite bathroom. Buzz was great to deal with and responded to questions and messages very quickly. I would highly recommend this home to others and would love to return at a future date.

Quite neighborhood within seconds to the beach. The crashing waves will put you to sleep and the roosters will greet you in the morning. So much better than a resort environment if you’re looking to detach and relax on a beautiful island.

This property was excellent! Very close to the beach. We were 4 adults and a 1 year old and had plenty of space. We would definitely stay here again!

Renting this property made our holiday! The house is lovely and has absolutely everything you need. The (very) nearby beach is one of the best on the island for snorkelling, surfing and seeing turtles. Would highly recommend this property.

My family and I loved our vacation here! It was a short walk to Brenneke’s beach, and the house was well stocked. Mahalo!

We are a family of 6, three couples, and each couple had complete privacy with their own bedroom and bathroom. Our daughter even got engaged on the beach right down the street from the house on this trip. Great property and would rent here again in our next stay on Kauai.

First, the positives: awesome location; spacious, well-laid-out house; very comfortable bedrooms; nice tradewinds upstairs. The drawbacks, in order from least important to most: - bathrooms are very dated; fixtures can be tricky - the *primary* photo of the property prominently features a hammock. I realize this probably sounds petty, but we discussed relaxing in the hammock together. Unfortunately, there is no hammock. After sending email and voicemail, the property manager finally got back to us 24 hours later to say that the hammock broke recently and the property owner won't be replacing it. Disappointing. And you need to update your listing to remove that photo, because it's basically false advertising. - The property listing states the following: "Like most people, you immediately stare at the 14' high vaulted wood ceiling. Then you open the five sliding doors into this great room and it is almost like living outdoors as the cooling trade winds that make Kauai so special waft through the room from three sides and the three ceiling fans cool the room further." Unfortunately, we found this not to be true. The 3 fans in the great room barely rotate at all, and need to be replaced. The great room was sweltering for our entire stay. In contrast, the bedrooms were all super cool and comfortable, both because the trade winds are felt more on the 2nd floor and because all the bedroom fans work great. Overall, we still give the property 4 stars. Working fans in the great room and a hammock, as promised by photos, would have resulted in 5 stars.

Property was amazing. Huge house right next to the beach. Had an amazing stay.

Pictures can not begin to do this home justice, and the location can not be beat. What an incredible home, fully stocked with anything, and everything you may need to create a perfect trip for you and your loved ones! We can not wait to come back and enjoy this home for years to come!

House was beautiful and location was outstanding. We went to the beach every day to snorkel and boogey -board. Thank you for the opportunity to purchase this at the "Fresh Start" auction. All the best Jeff Muecke

Perfect family vacation !

This was our second time staying at this house and it was wonderful. We love the house itself and the location is perfect.

We visit Kauai annually and have stayed in a number of homes in Poipu. For us, this property stands out as the best given the quality of the home and its design, how well it is maintained, and its location so close to the state park. We were fortunate to be able to book it again for next February and look forward to our return.
