The property is very quiet and a good place to stay. We enjoyed the beach, the athletic club, hiking and snorkeling within walking distance of the home. Kalapaki Joe's is highly recommended for lunch and supper. The feral chickens are delightful. The common are was great for watching a movie in the evening.

Everything was top notch, clean, modern and worked well. Cute place and two large private rooms were perfect for two single people traveling together for work. The only glitch was on checkin - the code did not work and because it was so late we could not get in touch with the host. We got VRBO involved, and they had an alternate contact. The issue was relived within about 45 mins - we were sent a new code and got in to the unit. II was quite impressed with the responsiveness of VRBO!

This is a great spot. We had two couples and two toddlers and it worked well. Space isn’t super friendly for toddlers but it was ok. It’s a short walk to the beach so we rented a beach wagon and that was super helpful with the little kiddos.The house has good AC units and comfy beds and an outdoor shower around the back of the houseGPS kind of leads you to the wrong driveway so you just gotta drive up the street a little bit and enter from the little cul de sac.Definitely would stay here again!

We had a good stay. The Beach is more like a 5-7 minute walk vs. 2 minutes. The home was clean and all appliances in good working order. The noise from the main road, roosters crowing at 4:00 am and next door neighbors with their boom box music for the first few days was annoying. We were asked if we would set out the garbage can on the street the first day we checked in and on the morning of check out, asked if we would put the sheets and pillow cases in the washer before we left. These were minor requests, not mandatory and we had no problem with doing them...it's just all these items mentioned seemed like the price was too high. We were looking for something more peaceful and quiet.

We had a great stay. The house is very close to Poipu beach, and they provided all of the beach accessories we needed. The house had the basics and stayed cool in the evenings - we didn't even need to turn on the AC. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot for our last minute stay
Due to a last-minute issue we had to book another place last minute. We booked Jake's place and could not have been happier. It is about 2 blocks from the beach. All the things needed in a kitchen to make breakfast. (That is all we made). We loved the layout. Very nice washer and dryer. Private parking was a big plus. We will definitely stay here again when our travels take us back to Kauai.

When we first arrived the key pad for the front door didn’t have the correct code. The fan didn’t work in one of the bathrooms and the fan in the other bathroom had about 1/8’’ of dust on all the blades. The grounds were in dire need of a Gardner. The bbq had so much gunk on the grates that it took a half hour to burn it off along with intense scraping. One night I awoke to sounds of water coming from the A/C, as if someone pouring water from a cup. In the morning the chair underneath the A/C was sopping wet along with some clean clothes I had on the chair. This is the third time we’ve stayed at this property, the first with new management. Other than the unkempt issues, Jake is great to work with and very helpful. The distance to the beach is great. The house was accommodating.

A completely adorable house in an idyllic, setting fully stocked with everything you would need and a very responsible host. It’s about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the beach and 2-3 minutes by car and then you have to find parking. The owner Jake is awesome and will help with info if he can, I know there’s anything that the house is missing and you have all the beach toys that you ever want as well as chairs and umbrella. Make bring your own propane for the grill but they have the bbq Supplies other than that. There is one television in the house in the living room and it works with the digital YouTube TV or Amazon prime etc.. backyard is super cute. We really enjoyed our time and will consider renting this two bedroom house again.

Spacious space for a family of 4 or 2 couples. Super comfortable beds, plenty of towels, including beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards, beach chairs, everything you need for a lovely stay by the beach. Took us 5-10 minutes to walk to Poipu Beach from the house. Loved being able to use the Poipu Beach Athletic Club! Pool and waterslide were really fun for the kids and they serve food and drinks poolside. Highly recommend this great spot!

Did not use either airconditioning or laundry other than putting sheets in at stay's end as requested. Did use dishwasher which worked well. My adult son is in treatment for cancer and cleanliness is paramount. Some pots were dirty, which I cleaned. We did not use outside furniture as it was dirty and a couple of chairs were broken. No beach items used.This was not a problem for us, as cancer patients receiving treatments should not be in the sun. We loved the openness of the living area, the bedrooms and baths very clean. Access to the beach at sunset ideal - it is quiet and lovely - we'd love to come back.Dorothy Massey

Excellent place to stay!
We loved our stay at this VRBO. The house was perfectly located to enjoy the beauty of Kauai. The beds were comfortable, and the home had everything we needed. The lanai was a highlight, where we enjoyed our morning coffee. The hosts were responsive, welcoming, and had a booklet of helpful tips about nearby attractions, beaches, and restaurants. We walked each morning and evening to watch the sunrise and sunset, which were breathtaking. Poipu beach had resting turtles, monk seals to watch, and we even saw whales breaching water off in the distance. We ventured to Waimea Canyon, hiked Sleeping Giant trail, and have to recommend Lava Lava restaurant as a place to eat right on the beach in Kapa'a. Lunch and dinner menus were amazing.

Comfortable and convenient stay
We stayed at Jake's place in Poipu beach in Kawaii for the last two nights of out two week Hawaii trip this June. the house was large with open floor plan and a nice big patio. The AC units were efficient since we where during a heat wave. The kings beds and the sofa sleeper beds were conformable, we did not use the futon but it looked comfortable for a child to sleep on (wouldn't recommend for an adult). The walk to the Poipu beach and the nearby restaurants with less than 10 minutes. Poipu beach is know for the sea turtles and hangout in the beach and sleep there most nights. We seen so many sea turtles so up close and the volunteers do a great job protecting them from the excited tourists. The access to the Athletic center was a huge perk and we enjoyed the facilities.
