Great house, very close to the beach! Stocked with beach chairs and beach toys, as well as games. Fast communication with the host. Very clean and organized. Highly recommend!
When we first arrived the key pad for the front door didnât have the correct code. The fan didnât work in one of the bathrooms and the fan in the other bathroom had about 1/8ââ of dust on all the blades. The grounds were in dire need of a Gardner. The bbq had so much gunk on the grates that it took a half hour to burn it off along with intense scraping. One night I awoke to sounds of water coming from the A/C, as if someone pouring water from a cup. In the morning the chair underneath the A/C was sopping wet along with some clean clothes I had on the chair. This is the third time weâve stayed at this property, the first with new management. Other than the unkempt issues, Jake is great to work with and very helpful. The distance to the beach is great. The house was accommodating.
This is a great spot. We had two couples and two toddlers and it worked well. Space isnât super friendly for toddlers but it was ok. Itâs a short walk to the beach so we rented a beach wagon and that was super helpful with the little kiddos.The house has good AC units and comfy beds and an outdoor shower around the back of the houseGPS kind of leads you to the wrong driveway so you just gotta drive up the street a little bit and enter from the little cul de sac.Definitely would stay here again!
Did not use either airconditioning or laundry other than putting sheets in at stay's end as requested. Did use dishwasher which worked well. My adult son is in treatment for cancer and cleanliness is paramount. Some pots were dirty, which I cleaned. We did not use outside furniture as it was dirty and a couple of chairs were broken. No beach items used.This was not a problem for us, as cancer patients receiving treatments should not be in the sun. We loved the openness of the living area, the bedrooms and baths very clean. Access to the beach at sunset ideal - it is quiet and lovely - we'd love to come back.Dorothy Massey
A completely adorable house in an idyllic, setting fully stocked with everything you would need and a very responsible host. Itâs about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach and 2-3 minutes by car and then you have to find parking. The owner Jake is awesome and will help with info if he can, I know thereâs anything that the house is missing and you have all the beach toys that you ever want as well as chairs and umbrella. Make bring your own propane for the grill but they have the bbq Supplies other than that. There is one television in the house in the living room and it works with the digital YouTube TV or Amazon prime etc.. backyard is super cute. We really enjoyed our time and will consider renting this two bedroom house again.
This house was perfect for our family of 5! So close to the beach and shopping. The house had everything we needed for our vacation. It was super clean. The air conditioning worked well. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Kauai!
We stayed at Jake's place in Poipu beach in Kawaii for the last two nights of out two week Hawaii trip this June. the house was large with open floor plan and a nice big patio. The AC units were efficient since we where during a heat wave. The kings beds and the sofa sleeper beds were conformable, we did not use the futon but it looked comfortable for a child to sleep on (wouldn't recommend for an adult). The walk to the Poipu beach and the nearby restaurants with less than 10 minutes. Poipu beach is know for the sea turtles and hangout in the beach and sleep there most nights. We seen so many sea turtles so up close and the volunteers do a great job protecting them from the excited tourists. The access to the Athletic center was a huge perk and we enjoyed the facilities.
Great location within walking distance of Piopu Beach.
Comfortable and clean house within easy walking distance to an amazing beach. The house had all the basics and extra beach supplies. Great location with loads of shopping and dining options. Quiet neighborhood and private home.
Due to a last-minute issue we had to book another place last minute. We booked Jake's place and could not have been happier. It is about 2 blocks from the beach. All the things needed in a kitchen to make breakfast. (That is all we made). We loved the layout. Very nice washer and dryer. Private parking was a big plus. We will definitely stay here again when our travels take us back to Kauai.
Very charming place for 3-4 people. Quiet, but located close to Poipu beach and many earing establishments. Rooster greets you early am, but not a big deal as the time change means we are up by 6:00 anyway.
Great location, close to beach and shops. Access to athletic club was really nice. The trees around the home make it feel secluded. It was really nice having beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, boogie boards accessible too. Host was responsive, great little place!
We had a great stay. The house is very close to Poipu beach, and they provided all of the beach accessories we needed. The house had the basics and stayed cool in the evenings - we didn't even need to turn on the AC. We would definitely stay here again.
I couldn't be happier with this place! Amazing little house, AC worked great, great access to the beach, and the host could not have been more accommodating and great to deal with. Absolutely amazing all around
We loved our stay at this VRBO. The house was perfectly located to enjoy the beauty of Kauai. The beds were comfortable, and the home had everything we needed. The lanai was a highlight, where we enjoyed our morning coffee. The hosts were responsive, welcoming, and had a booklet of helpful tips about nearby attractions, beaches, and restaurants. We walked each morning and evening to watch the sunrise and sunset, which were breathtaking. Poipu beach had resting turtles, monk seals to watch, and we even saw whales breaching water off in the distance. We ventured to Waimea Canyon, hiked Sleeping Giant trail, and have to recommend Lava Lava restaurant as a place to eat right on the beach in Kapa'a. Lunch and dinner menus were amazing.
We felt like we were staying at a friend's beach home. It was comfortable and convenient to the beach and other places we wanted to visit. I loved having my morning coffee on the lanai. We also enjoyed having access to the beach club nearby.
Just OK. Poipu beach and the club is near and that made it better.
There are some positive & negatives. Positives: beds and linens are comfortable, the house has a good roomy layout, and it is very quiet neighborhood except for the roosters at 4 am but we were aware of that quirk. It is at a convenient location as we could walk to the beaches. The snorkeling gear and boogie boards and beach chairs were available to use. Having the access to the Poipu Beach Club was great we love the food and the pool there.
Negatives: It was generally clean, but there was mold in the master bathroom shower. The tile on the patio was dingy and gross. The refrigerator smelled like BO. I realize that Kauai gets a lot of rain and properties are hard to maintain there but I think your cleaning service could do better. We cooked in the kitchen almost every day for but the selection of pots and pans were slim. We made it work but a nice set of pans/pots would greatly improve the kitchen. The beach umbrella is broken and it would of been nice to have a little cooler that we could bring to the beach. Also, not having the door code working when we arrived was very frustrating as we were tired from traveling all day and the last thing I wanted to deal with was contacting the owner to be able to get into the house. I'm glad we were able to get ahold of him and get in within a few minutes.
This is our fourth time in Poipu and we still like this area of Kauai. I've stayed at 5 star properties before, this just isn't quite there yet.
Everything from check in to check out was a breeze. The location is great for morning walks down to the beach where the sea turtles were out in large numbers. Home was comfortable, had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean. Newly remodeled. We will be back.
Spacious space for a family of 4 or 2 couples. Super comfortable beds, plenty of towels, including beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, everything you need for a lovely stay by the beach. Took us 5-10 minutes to walk to Poipu Beach from the house. Loved being able to use the Poipu Beach Athletic Club! Pool and waterslide were really fun for the kids and they serve food and drinks poolside. Highly recommend this great spot!
