we really enjoyed our stay. The beach was approximately 1 1/2 blocks away. It's a nice walk. One night we went to beach at sunset and saw about 20 turtles come from the ocean to spend the night at the beach.

Koloa Kai - MM-G

Overall, the stay was very good. It was my first experience with a VRBO rental, so I didn’t have expectations, nor experience to relate it to. The property was clean, with views and proximity to the beach/amenities as advertised. A few minor issues (one window had minor damage to the frame and a loose nail on a piece of the door jamb, but I didn’t notice until we were cleaning to vacate so there was little opportunity for the repair while still there). I would rent again.

Located within easy walking distance of a beach plus an ocean view from the balcony. While we didn't use much of the kitchen, it looked well stocked with dishes and appliances. Location worked well to travel to all other areas of the island. Property manager communication was excellent.

Good property, populated area

This is a nice property and the beach gear is great (though note that the gear is shared with multiple properties). Was well equipped but would be nice to have a few extra bath and beach towels (only provided the exact number of towels as guests). View from the lanai was great and there was generally a good breeze in the morning and evening (full sun in the afternoon). Easy, downhill walk to the beach, but note that the walkable beaches get very crowded. There are a couple of places to eat that are within walking distance, but most places are a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay.

This is a standalone pod/ home. It has been recently renovated with nice amenities. A example- The main bed has a the ability to raise the head area. Kitchen and bathroom redone, but doors are original etc. the unit is a very nice clean space with separate ac units in bedrooms and main space! Kitchen is very well stocked! Picture of view in ad looks fake— but it is not! That is the view of the ocean. Beach is easily walkable. Surrounding is very safe. Lots of beach items you can borrow from complex. Parking is assigned and easy. shared laundry in under the unit. This is not a resort as they state in the ad, but you can’t beat the price for the location. Who needs a pool when you have a beach with turtles! Would stay here again. Please note this is on the sunny side of the island.

Perfect rental!

We loved our stay in Poipu! The unit was perfectly located. We walked down to the beach each day, usually with some beach chairs to sit and watch the sunset. We loved the availability of the chairs, boogie boards, other beach necessities. We did a few day activies- both on the north end and west side - and were thankful to be situated right in the middle of both. We loved coming back to the unit after an adventurous long day. The unit had everything you could need and want while on vacation in beautiful Kauai. Thank you so much!!!

My wife and I stayed here for 10 days! We came to Kauai to get married and to honeymoon. This place was perfect for the 2 of us! Had everything that we needed and a little more! We only had 1 issue, the air conditioner started to leak. We contacted the property manager and it was fixed first thing the next morning! Great communication! We truly had a wonderful stay!
