The ability to walk steps to baby beach was perfect. When the tide is higher and there are bigger waves, it's great for some easy body boarding as well.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is clean and has everything you need for a fun stay. The bedrooms and the living room have A/C. I will stay here again. It is on the beach and the snorkeling is great. A sea turtle or two rested there every night. It was neat to see. The only change to the house I suggest is to change the windows by the door. It's a security thing. Also make it so the screens on the windows are not easily removed.

We love the location and the home had everything we needed. Sitting on the lanai and looking at the ocean was heavenly. And the 2 turtles that came up on the beach each day were the icing on the cake! We did have some problems with the keypad for entry, perhaps it needs a new battery?

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved this house. It was such a beautiful house and location. It wasn’t a beach that we wanted to stay at with with our older kids. There wasn’t any waves. But it was the perfect house/beach with younger kids. Two turtles came on the shore every night. I liked how close it was to all of poipus amenities. All the cooking things you could want. Wish the master had a king bed. The queen felt small and it was kinda hard. But it was fine. Turn on sound machine at night so rosters don’t wake you so early

It is rare to find such a comfortable house in such a perfect location. Some times friends join us, sometimes family. We like to cook, read, do puzzles and take long walks each morning. Kauai climate, even the occasional showers and winds, is wonderful change from home in cold and snowy North Idaho.

Home is great for a family of four- beds aren’t the best but hard to complain when you can watch the waves from them. New floors are a huge upgrade over the previous carpet.
