Great location and home

We were a party of 5, the house was very comfortable for our party. Beds were very comfortable and house very well maintained. The kitchen was well stocked with anything needed for easy meals. Beach towels, chairs, coolers and boogie boards also available. Very short walk to a small beach and shops/restaurants. Would stay here again!

Kauai house

It was a beautiful 3 bedroom & 3 bath home. It was great for our family of five. We called about the leaking sink & window cover that was sticky- they couldn't have been nicer. They were immediately fixed. The kitchen was well stocked & nicely appointed. It was wonderful being close to Baby Beach & Lawai Beach. We loved having the bogey boards & chairs for our use. I washed the nice thick beach towels before we left so the cleaners wouldn't have so much laundry to do. We had a great time.

Family Dream Vacation

We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation. This home provided a place for our family to make wonderful memories together. We spent the days exploring the island and then returned to the big dining room table to share a meal and details of our day. The kitchen was a dream to work in and was stocked with all the needed cooking supplies. The yard was a fun spot for our grandchildren to play and the BBQ we used for almost every dinner. The trade winds kept us cool for a good nights sleep, but it was a bit warm in the late afternoons. The garage provided beach chairs, coolers, and a few other toys we used daily. We found big beach towels in the well stocked linen closet. The laundry room was perfect for our big family. We loved Baby Beach and spent many evenings watching the sunsets. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great vacation home with a terrific location

We spent a week with our son's family in this great vacation home. We had 4 adults, and 2 boys ages 4 1/2 and almost 2. The first floor has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and great laundry area, as well as closets, and access to the very nice backyard. The 2nd floor is a great room with a fully stocked kitchen, a large dining table and a living room area with couches and chairs and a TV and DVD player. There is also a second floor veranda with a large table where we ate many meals. There are lots of towels, bedding, laundry detergent and supplies, condiments in the refrigerator, folding beach chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, and a full sized surf board, etc. This is the best stocked VRBO location I have ever been to. Beautiful Poipu Beach is about a mile away and "Baby Beach" is a 4 minute walk. The excellent Beach House Restaurant is 2 blocks away. This is a great location, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kaua'i.

The house was perfect for our family of 3 couples except there is no bathroom on the upper floor!

A perfect home for our visit. Comfortable beds, a nice yard and close enough to walk to the beach and shopping easily. Upon our arrival there was a note apologizing for the smell in the fridge which was HORRENDOUS. We could not use it and we're supplied with an ice chest while the refrigerator "aired out". The entire 2 weeks we were there it had varying degrees of smell. After bleaching it was tolerable for awhile, but the aroma always returned. We later found out that fish bait was left in there to cause the problem. Smoke detectors went off 4 nights while we were there causing some disturbed sleep. Owner said the batteries had been replaced, but definitely scary to be awakened by the alarms. We did enjoy our stay but felt that our complaints could have been handled differently.

fantastic stay!

This home was perfect for our situation, traveling with another couple. Each couple had a large comfortable bedroom plus bathroom with double sink. The two bedrooms are fully equal. We could easily have asked a couple of more friends to join us in the third bedroom. Everything was clean, well stocked and well thought through. Since we like to shop at the farmer's market and cook and we take leftovers for picnics day trips, we really appreciated that here were plenty of reusable plastic containers of various sizes, different coolers for travel, ziplock bags, etc. I left some ice packs we used during our stay that I hope the owner will leave in the freezer so future guests don't have to buy these too! I would have loved to see a few more basics for food prep like olive oil, or a few more seasonings, but otherwise the kitchen was very well stocked and organized in terms of equipment and dishes. There were even disposable hot drink cups with lids we used on a few occasions so we could get out to an early morning tour on a different part of the island and enjoy our coffee underway. Location is perfect next to many swimmable beaches, but not in the middle of the large resorts on Poipu. One very nice shopping center with many eateries and a well stocked drug store is within easy walking distance. I usually don't stay the same place twice, but if the situation called for it, I would stay here again.

Peaceful Stay

From start to finish, the owner was very communicative and easy to deal with. There were 7 of us that included, myself, husband, son, daughter in law, 5 month old grandson plus our two college age children. The home was just beautiful & super clean. The kitchen, linens, paper products and soaps were well stocked. Beds were comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was great! The layout was excellent, plenty of room for everyone. You could sleep in or go to bed early and others be upstairs and it was quiet. We rented a car but there were plenty of places to walk to from the home. You could easily walk to baby beach & Da Crack for yummy take out burritos & the Shops at Kukui'ula where there were restaurants, coffee, ice cream shop, grocery & drug store. The walk to Spouting Horn, Sheraton, Marriott & Poipo Beach wasn't too far either. The furniture & grounds of the home were really well maintained. There were plenty of beach towels and beach chairs in the garage. I was a little worried before we came about the lack of air conditioning but Buzz assured us it would be just fine and it was. We wouldn't have needed it at all! We went to the Costco & grocery across the street from Costco(can't remember the name) in Lihue when we arrived at the airport for snacks, drinks and diapers. We thought the prices weren't too bad at all. We rented a crib, baby backpack & beach tent for our grandson from Ready Rentals. They were great and had it all set up before we arrived. We would definitely rent this home again and totally recommend it!

Great Location, Could Use an Update

Stayed here with some of my extended family. The location is amazing- close to Baby Beach, walking distance to the shopping plaza, and a short drive to Poipu. The back yard is gorgeous and we really enjoyed spending time out there. Check in was supposed to be at 4, but we hadn’t heard from management with the key code by 4:05, so I had to reach out to them. They were responsive and apologetic, and then upon arriving, we found the cleaning staff had inadvertently left with the keys from the lock box, so we had to wait for a key until 5 oclock. The home itself is adorable, but is in need of some upgrades. The upholstery on the sofas is musty, slightly mildewed, and tearing from years of sun damage. Same goes for the dining chairs. The furniture is unraveling… all of which is very tempting for little toddler hands to bother, so keep that in mind if traveling with kids. We ended up not using the pack n play on premise because of the stains and smell. They do provide beach towels, but only 1 per person, which meant we were constantly drying the towels as we were at the beach at least 2 times a day. Just a reminder that there is no AC, but they do provide plenty of fans. Just be prepared to sleep with all the doors and windows open to stay cool. Lastly, the kitchen was well stocked with appliances and gear, but the only spices on hand were salt and pepper, so if you are planning on cooking, you may need to stock up.

Wonderful stay!

The location couldn’t be better for our young family. Around the corner from Baby Beach and quick drive to Poi’pu and fresh Poké make it so convenient. Sunsets visible out in the pacific while relaxing on the lanai. Wonderful. Gorgeous high beam ceilings. Would recommend the owners switch from carpeted to tile or laminate flooring in the living room and bedrooms to avoid the mustiness that comes with active beach life and island humidity. Only critique. Rate this 4.5 out of 5!!!!!

Definitely large enough for more guests. Close enough to walking to the beach, restaurants, shopping, farmers market. We really enjoyed walking to Baby Beach for sunsets. Well stocked with everything you need from kitchen items to beach gear. Can’t say enough how much we loved this house. Thank you for letting us use your home as ours for 10 days.

This house is gorgeous - really a home more than a rental property. The house is set up well and stocked extremely well. The location is fantastic - close to everything - shops, beach, wonderful restaurants. The home is spacious and can accommodate more people than our group. There were 4 of us and we had tons of room. The property itself outside is well maintained and has lovely plants and trees. Gorgeous - I would stay again and plan to.
