We recently received this note from our guests, the Huber family:
Thank you so much for your attentive service during our family stay. The home was beautifully appointed, so clean.
The home's air temperature was perfect. We were able to set the temperature in each bedroom and in the living-kitchen-dining area to our liking.
The huge dining table was our gathering spot every night after a day of hiking or beaching etc.. The kitchen worked well for our family meals, and the cabinet of games was a nice touch.
The full size washer and dryer in the laundry room was stocked with Persil laundry soap. And the Kai diffuser was an over the top touch. Well done. We'll be back! Mahalo and Aloha, Joe ****

Property is great and in a great location. Close to beach and restaurants. Pool is great. Adjacent golf course is nice . Check-in and Check-out process was easy. House has unusual layout with kitchen and great room on second floor and bedrooms on first floor. Can be difficult for grandparents. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
Location and space are great.
BBQ needs TLC.
Jack and Jill shower needs TLC.
great open floor plan and room sizes.
Pool is awesome
Beds super comfy. Awesome deck
The house is visually stunning, Pool and backyard are great. Comfortable beds and plenty of towels. I wish there was more furniture on the lanai. Very nice stay overall.We had a few issues with random malfunctions of the kitchen appliances. Those were resolved to my satisfaction.
Everything was as advertised. Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood on the golf course with pool. Just a short drive to the beach, hiking, golf and shopping in Poipu. Could not have been better. For one week our little slice of tropical paradise!
Beautiful house and property, nice quiet location. Tonnes of space, especially with just my wife and I, but was nice to come back to the pool at the end of the day to relax. Very nice open space and kitchen with wrap around deck on the second level, perfect for cooking and relaxing. Check in and communication all a breeze. Thank you!
The neighborhood is beautiful. The house was big and comfortable. The pool was amazing! Having access to the athletic club was a nice bonus. The golf course was beautiful. The views from the deck were amazing. I do agree with one of the other reviews regarding the the bathrooms( shower valves could use some TLC) . As well as one of the BBQs needing TLC. The host was great with responding to the small issues and any questions. Overall best stay ever hands down! You do not want to pass in this place! Would love to stay here again!!
Love the great room upstairs and nice big kitchen. The pool was the star of the stay. Very large pool was great to come home to and cool off and have some fun. The house is in a great location. We had a great time!!
The only negative would be the bedrooms doors are not really doors at all. They have open slats that allows noise in as if they are not there. And the washing machine sounds like a jet is taking off in the house. But overall a wonderful home and we had a great time!!!
House was nice and in a great location. There was construction going on at two of the neighbors properties that was a bit bothersome. We did have the maintenance worker show up and enter the property un announced which was not something i was happy with or prepared for. Notice would have been nice. I believe the purpose of the visit was to confirm the number of people we had there, although he fixed two minor issues that could have waited. The pool was fun. The AC blew cold and kept the house comfortable. All in all a good time.
We loved the place! It was nice, modern, big, roomy, spotlessly clean, and well fitted with everything needed. Especially appreciated the laundry facilities which allowed us to keep our clothes clean during our stay AND return home with clean things so no need for that post-vacation duty! The pool was excellent -- perfect temperature, perfect water. We also liked how convenient it was to restaurants and shopping, and a great base for the excursions we took around the island. Beds were plus and comfortable, which was great after very busy days. Very "homey" and quiet neighborhood.
Owners/management are VERY concerned about noise so not a place for rowdy gatherings or even noisy children. We chalk that up to neighbors who likely have complained, but we were a very quiet family of calm adults so had no issues (nor did we cause any).
Clean, well stocked kitchen, lots of space and room to spread out for a big group. Super comfy beds and the split system A/Cs meant that everyone could adjust rooms for their own comfort.
Wonderful location; beautiful home. We loved having both the pool and wrap around lanai to sit and enjoy the views.Also close proximity to Poipu beach was a highlight, went almost every morning to see the turtles.
This rental property is exceptional. Location is perfect for everything, beaches and restaurants all wonderful. We were 5 adults and it was perfect for us. A few little glitches that were promptly rectified. Would highly recommend unless you have a problem with stairs as the living and dining are up a long stairway. Just paradise!
The house we stayed out was great all the way around. Good central location, plenty of space, everything worked and any minor issues were quickly resolved. Thanks for providing a great place!
Beautiful, spacious home on a lovely part of the golf course. The lanai and upstairs living space is so lovely. Pool is beautiful and well stocked with toys. It was a perfect spot for two families to share space and have some privacy- not an easy ask in a rental property. Any issues we had were promptly addressed by the management company. The location is right in the heart of Poipu, close to shops, beach, and main access roads. Cannot wait to come back!
Great house in quiet neighborhood walking distance to a lot of my favorite Kauai spots. Pool is HUGE and house is well appointed. Air conditioners in bedrooms keep it nice and cool when it’s time to sleep. Would stay there again for sure.
The home as described was clean, well equipped with a large pool and beautiful views of the golf course. The home is situated in a beautiful residential neighborhood that is quiet and less than a mile walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Dolphin House.
We loved this home. We spent the Christmas & New Years here with grandparent to grandchildren. Location was close to everything we needed, there was plenty of room to spread out if we wanted, a large living area to gather as a family and the deck & pool were welcomed after a day of activity. Would come back if we visit Kauai again.
The family and I absolutely loved this property. It was way bigger than expected, clean, had A/C, and a beautiful lanai with amazing views. The pool was the perfect temperature, the kids absolutely loved the pool. The property had easy check in and check out instructions. It was in a great location just a short drive to the beach and within walking distance to shopping and places to eat. Our experience was magical and I’m sure we’ll be back. We miss it already and we haven’t even left the island yet. Memories for a lifetime. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your amazing home.
We needed a rental big enough to accommodate 6 adults and 2 pre-teens. Our expectations were exceeded on everything. The balcony surrounding the upstairs living area and the swimming pool were far above our expectations.! All in all, this was a great vacation for all 8 of us.
Second time at this house, hopefully it will not br our last. We love it. Dolphin house is a Beautiful home, with all amenities, great beds and one amazing pool. Plenty of room for 5 people— Hard to beat for location and its top quality. Thank you again!
