Crater 26 by Destination Kauai - Close to Poipu Beach

E komo mai, welcome to Crater 26!

Garden views, open living, private covered lanai... the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, meals, and an evening sip. Fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops and modern appliances. Guest bedroom with queen size bed and common full bathroom on the main floor. Primary bedroom with king size bed and ensuite bathroom upstairs. Indoor washer/dryer for your convenience.
Puhi Nani Pools will begin replastering and retiling the resort pool on April 15, 2024. The work will take approximately 4 weeks and the pool will be closed throughout that time.

CHECK-IN: 4:00pm / CHECK-OUT: 10:00am
PLAN ACCORDINGLY: We are not able to grant early check-ins and/or later check-outs in advance. Should you need to guarantee additional time in the unit, we do suggest booking the additional night to accommodate this.

Destination Kauai is a locally owned and family operated company. We offer contactless check-in for a seamless arrival. A 15% deposit is due at the time of booking. Refundable security deposit applies. We are committed to clean - this unit is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized for every guest arrival.

Additional guests and gatherings are not allowed.

We recommend soaking in the sun and enjoying the beautiful outdoors that Kaua'i has to offer. But if you need to stay connected, free wireless internet is provided.

For your convenience, we provide some beach gear for your use: beach chairs, umbrella, small cooler, and beach towels.
We also provide a starter supply of amenities and toiletries (soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, detergents).

Poipu Crater Resort: Located in the heart of Poipu, walking distance to some of the island's best shopping, dining, and beaches great for snorkeling, swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, and sunset watching. Being one of only 15 duplexes in the crater, you often enjoy the following amenities to yourself: large swimming pool, sauna, tennis court, ping-pong tables, barbecues, dining tables, and lounge chairs. Only a 5 minute drive to the best golf course on Kauai. Private parking space also included.

Book this beautiful Hawaiian Cottage and experience authentic island-style living. Perched on top of an extinct volcano, leaving behind a unique 7 acre crater which surrounds the cottage with lush, tropical vegetation, including flowers, trees, and palms. Feel the warm island breeze, smell the nearby plumerias, hear the songs of the beautiful tropical birds, and explore the nearby beaches (5 min walk), shops, and restaurants all within a distance of 1.5 miles. The cottage perfectly captures the ambience of the surrounding “Garden Island,” feeling more like a private home within a botanical garden rather than your typical condo. Perfect place for couples wanting a romantic getaway or a place for vacationing families.

Nice but lacking a few things
We enjoyed our visit, thanks. Here are some suggestions: -- Include a set of instructions/helpful info about the rental, including operation of electronics, recycling, places to get groceries, restaurant recommendations, etc. -- Add a bath mat next to the upstairs tub (as-is, the one in vanity must be moved there) -- Add towel bars or hooks to wall(s) near the upstairs tub -- Include more toilet tissue in the rental -- Add soap or body wash to the upstairs tub -- Add fan above the table in the dining area -- Replace the circular table in dining area with a rectangular one (as-is, there's not enough room for someone to get around it if three people are seated in the chairs nearest the living room -- Relabel the light switches that currently say "Lamps" (they didn't seem to control anything; at least, we couldn't figure it out) -- Add a first-aid kit (maybe we missed?) Should be mentioned in the house instructions -- see first suggestion above. Thanks!

September Stay
Property was as described. May be the time of year but was warm even with the ceiling fans. Would not recommend for older people,we are on our 70's, as the walk leading up to the unit is steep and has several steps which make getting the luggage in the unit difficult. The pictures do not show the elevation difference between the parking area and the entrance to the unit. Great place for younger people.
