Poipu holiday house

Our family rented this house for 30 days. It is a great value for the money. The location and desciption are accurate. It is ideally located in the Poipu area. It is a clean property that is well maintained. It is an older property, but you don't really have to worry about young ones doing damage :-). The Poipu area has great beaches for little ones (Poipu Beach) and older kids, Shipwreck and Breneckee's (surfing or boggie boarding). All are within a 5-10 minute walk, which is great because parking can be an issue at the beach facilities. The home's enclosed lanai with BBQ is wonderful. We cooked many meals outside and enjoyed the lanai/patio table in the eveings. Access to a washer and dryer means light packing -- that is important especially with children. The nearby pool with hot tub is well maintained and stays open in the evenings. There is nearby shopping and some great restaurants from casual to fine dining. Eating Puka Dogs is a must at least once for everyone. The nice thing about the Poipu area is easy access to Lihue and the airport and the leeward side of the island with Wameai Canyon. When you drive north, it gets a little crazy to find parking and if you park in the no parking areas you will get ticketed. We watched the police ticket dozen's of vehicles on a regular basis on the Windward and North shores. Anyway, you cannot beat the price for this vacation rental. Other homes in the area go for much more. Remeber, the vacation rental is to enjoy each other not luxury accomodations. My only caution on this property is to remember there is no air conditioning and it takes some time to get used to the humidity. However, the evening breezes make the nights completely enjoyable for sleeping. There a cool breezes during the day also, but most of the time you should be at the beach and in the water.

WOW! What can I say. My sisters and I made the trek to Kauai for a "Sisters Vacation". I am lucky enough to have known the owners for years and managed to grab this house for a week.
We went everywhere on the island and found it beautiful, fascinating and a wonderful, relaxing vacation.
I give the house 5 stars for comfort, cleanliness and the way it is "stocked" with everything you need - in fact we left some floaty noodles for the next visitors....
Please read the book that Sonya has put in the house -- it gives lots of good information including things to see and food to try.
PUKA DOGS -- We LOVED them and went there twice... a very nice island twist on a hot dog with some interesting sauces for interest!!!
For some AWESOME Shrimp try the Shrimp Station in Waimea -- you can visit before of after you see Waimea Canyon. The shrimp at this little outdoor fast food place was to die for! It is on the main road in Waimea.... GO THERE FOR SURE....
The Sheraton Luau was very fun and had great entertainment and food.

My sisters and I will definitely go back and stay in one of Ron and Sonya's homes... I want to take my kids and grandkids there as well... The cost is worth every cent you pay!!!!

Thanks to Sonya and Ron for this AMAZING vacation!!!

With two families comprising of 4 kids-- ages 2, 4, 11, and 14-- this house was perfectly located. The kids had plenty of room to run on the greenbelt and we didn't have to worry about the little ones rushing straight into the ocean because we weren't right on the beach. still, it was just a quick 4-minute, traffic-free walk to the beach. It was much nicer and roomier than staying in a hotel. We appreciated all of the ameneties in the house, especially the washer and dryer. If I have one gripe, it's a small one, and wouldn't really apply to families with older kids. Our smallest child drags a blanket around and the floor was not as clean as we would have liked. However, we realize it is a beach house so we shouldn't hold it up to the same standards as a normal house. Also, as I mentioned, there is a washer and dryer which we sneaked the blanket into several times during our stay. Overall, we had a very nice time. The layout was great for 2 families. Both master bedrooms were fine for adults (there was no concern over who would get the "better" bedroom) and the large kitchen lends itself to everyone pitching in at dinnertime. We had a great time.
