We loved our stay here - we were a family of 5 with a teenager and grandparents included. The house is spacious and well set-up with all the amenities you need. It's very walkable, with Shipwreck beach, the pool and tennis about 5-10 mins, and Brennecke and Poipu about 10 - 15 min. The lanai was amazing and we spent a lot of time there, watching whales spout. Thanks to the owners for a great stay!

My family and I had an amazing stay at Raf's home in Poipu. He is an excellent host and the home is even better than the pictures show. The view of the ocean is amazing and the beach amenities were great. We will certainly stay here again the next time we visit Poipu!

Great house in an absolutely fabulous location. First, the house: love the set up with two bedrooms on the lower floor and the master + living space upstairs. Made traveling with kids quite easy, as I didn't have to worry about waking them if I was up making coffee qnd enjoying the view. And what a view! I could see whales spouting from the kitchen or having dinner on the deck. I read reviews about noise from the Hyatt staff parking lot, but that wasn't a problem at all. The entire area was very quiet. The master bedroom was quite nice - firm mattress but still comfortable. The pullout sofas face each other, so we only used one. What really made the house a winner was how well stocked it was - lots of necessities in the pantry (spices, oil, flour/sugar/salt -- everything) and SO many beach toys: 6+ snorkel sets, 3 boogie boards, beach chairs and umbrellas, sand toys, tennis rackets, water shoes and more. The location can't be beat: 5 min walk to Shipwreck beach for tide pools for exploring or the Hyatt for coffee; 15,-20 min walk (a bit hilly, but I like the exercise) to Brennecke's Beach for boogie boarding or Poipu Beach for snorkeling. Also to note: it was the easiest checkout instructions of any place I stayed! Will DEFINITELY be back. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We enjoyed our stay at the house so much. The house is beautiful and the view is even better. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the ocean. It was also fun to walk to Shipwreck Beach and the trail that runs beyond that. There were ample supplies - beach towels, chairs, body boards - in the closet that we could use. Would definitely stay at the house again!

We absolutely loved the views from the lanai, we were out there every morning and evening. Lovely breezes and the house was very comfortable to stay in. Kitchen had everything you needed for cooking. Close to farmers markets, food trucks and beaches. We had a really fun time at this rental unit! Thank you!

We were impressed with the unobstructed wide, sunny open-ness of green lawn framed by palms all the way to the ocean. Also, the comfortable spaciousness of the living-dining-kitchen-deck area on the upper floor. Lots of dishes, cookware, and condiments, not to mention the beach toys, 2 sizes of coolers, ample towels, and also a soft sided wagon. It's a very quiet neighborhood, even with the Grand Hyatt adjacent, which is a plus for its lush grounds.

My family had a wonderful time at this lovely house. The house was very clean when we arrived and the view from the lanai of the ocean was awesome! The surrounding property was nicely maintained as well. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals for breakfast and dinners. The master bedroom and bathroom were very spacious and we loved the walk in shower! The location was very convenient for snorkeling at Poipu beach where we saw sea turtles and a monk seal. Raff was a pleasure to talk to for any questions and made sure our stay was very enjoyable so we all thank you so much. We would love to go back already!

Excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate booking again

We had such a great stay in Jessica and Raff's house. The location is perfect with a view of the ocean. We just saw a whale spout from the deck! The beds and linens are very comfortable, always a big plus for me. The kitchen is well equipped. When we had an issue, the owners were very quick to respond and resolve. I highly recommend this house.

What a beautiful place to stay! Amazing views and all the amenities you could hope for. Our family had a wonderful time in Kauai and our stay was perfect. Could not ask for a better place!!!

This property was so amazing on so many levels. My family’s personal fav was the gorgeous view of the ocean (especially with the perfect upstairs Lanai to see it). Another amazing aspect was how centrally located the house is. You are walking distance to food places, the grand hyatt, beaches, tennis courts, and not to mention, the house had rackets and beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, bags, and even games)!! 10/10 recommend and already want to come back here :)

Pros: Home is as advertised. Close to the ocean with nice view off of second floor deck. Closest beaches are rocky, sandy beach is a little farther away but still easily walkable. Hyatt resort next door is handy for quick dining and is very nice. They have a wonderful pool area but want to much for use. Full laundry provided with needed supplies. Easy off street parking. Resort pool is available but is a ways away and isn't anything special. Lots of beach stuff available, chairs, umbrellas, toys, towels etc. Seems to be a quiet area even with the resort walkways being close by. Cons: Main level and master bedroom is on second floor so any grocery items and luggage you bring will need to be carried upstairs. The A/C is via mini splits, the one in the main area upstairs struggles a bit, the bathrooms don't have any so they may get a little stuffy (provided fans helped). There's some minor maintenance items needing attention such as cabinet doors with very loose hinges and the downstairs bathroom sink faucet spout that isn't attached to sink but just flopping loose (not expected in a rental with this cost) but these were really minor things. Overall a five star rating. One other thing to note is that you can't be afraid of small reptiles here, we chased several little Geckos out. They seemed to coming in the louver windows since they don't close that well and the screens fit so so. It didn't bother us (our 5 year old grand daughter thought they were great) but just a heads up.

We were visiting for the marathon/half marathon and the location was perfect. Beautiful views, very comfortable, and easy to get everywhere. Will stay here again.

Great location, great communication with the owners, will definitely be back.

This house had plenty of room for 5 friends to enjoy time together. It was a great location for heading out on daily adventures as well as to just hang out together. It was nice to be able to walk to places from the house and enjoy the ocean views from the upper Lanai.

Wonderful week on the island! House was great and well stocked! Easy walk to great beaches!

We spent 10 days here and it was very nice. Everything was clean and well stocked. Communication with the owners was very informative and helpful. The view of the ocean from the balcony was very soothing. Lots of wild birds keeping us company while we enjoyed morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. If we go back, this will be our first choice of locations. Very near local groceries, restaurants & food trucks. Thanks again.

My stay at Raff and Jessica’s place was very enjoyable.

House was as described, beautiful morning view of the ocean. I have stayed in Poipu several times and although this location is a little farther out, was still convenient when driving to island locations. Home was furnished as described, great upper deck to plan day with morning coffee! Beautiful!

This is great home right next to the Grand Hyatt Kauai. Great views and fairly peaceful.

The area enabled us to visit many beaches as well as adventures around the island. It’s the ideal location for family fun. We hope to return! This is our favorite vacation.

This is a lovely home with great access to the beach and walking paths Easy to access the beach and we loved seeing turtles and whales Thank you this was a wonderful place

This house and setting was absolutely perfect for us! We (the grandparents) slept upstairs and our son and his family (incl. our 6-year old granddaughter) had the bottom floor to themselves. With the bottom deck they could spread themselves out. Both floors have awesome views! Quick walk to Shipwrech Beach to play in the sand and tide pools. Not far at all to Poipu Beach which has something for everyone (swimming, snorkeling, baby beach, sand play, turtles and monk seals sleeping on shore). We had one super rainy day and so really appreciated all the games (great assortment!) and books, and the light, open setting of the house. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen is very well supplied and pleasant to work in. The owners were super responsive and helpful! Lots of good beach toys, chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling equipment too. Wish we could have stayed longer!!

A beautiful property for our family of 5. We enjoyed the spacious home, the view of the ocean, the well supplied kitchen. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We enjoyed our time there! I would suggest before buying groceries upon arrival make sure the unit will be ready by check in time.

This house was a great place for our family to come back to after each adventure. Great layout for us and teens. Loved the location with walking paths right by us and beautiful view. All needed beach amenities were included also. Would choose again in a heartbeat.

This property was nice and comfortable. The ocean view was amazing and so close to so many things! The house was well stocked and had everything you might need.

All seven of us talk about trying to return to your place in the future. There is so much to do and see on Kauai. There were 15 turtles on Poipu Beach yesterday. What a sight! Aloha

As advertised. Pretty view of ocean with a short walk in the morning to see the sunrise. Short distance to many south shore sights, beaches and restaurants. Clean. Well equipped, supplying any kitchen utensil , beach chairs, umbrellas, tennis racquets, boogie boards, towels that you may need. It is refreshing to rent a house that gives you enough supplies (to,paper towel,laundry soap) to make it thru the week. There is a walk to a beautiful pool..fortunately if your not ready for the trek there is a conveniently located parking lot near it. Great communication with the owners. They really want to ensure that your stay in their home is the best possible experience. Thank you for a great time and for sharing your home.

great ocean view and breezes on the lanai

We had a wonderful vacation on Kauai, staying at Hale Kika. The house was very spacious, with lots of room for our family of six. We really enjoyed eating out on the deck, from which we could see the ocean. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys to make trips to the beach comfortable and fun. The location cannot be beat. The green belt path is literally out your back yard. It's an easy walk to Shipwreck Beach or Poipu Beach. This was our first time coming at Christmas, and it was amazing. Fun to see the turtles rest on Poipu Beach late each day and amazing star gazing each night just down the path from the house. Would love to return someday.

A beautiful property with ocean views. Home has all amenities including a fully stocked kitchen and beach gear. Owners were fantastic with accommodating us and all communication. Hope to stay at this property again.
