Poipu Vacation Rental house

This house was outstanding! We just got back (our stay was the end of Jan., beginning of Feb. 09). This was our 5th trip to Hawaii, and by far the best house we have rented. It is exceptionally furnished and appointed. It has "top notch" everything - pots & pans, dishes, cooking knives, spices, wine glasses & opener, an extra fridge in the garage, etc., etc., etc. It has been recently remodeled, and it is very attractive and comfortable. It was the first house we have rented on Kauai that had truly comfortable furniture and beds. The location was excellent as well. We were able to go right out the door and go on two hour walks (beautiful scenery) in the AM. Great grocery stores, gift shops, golf, beaches, and activities (zip line, horse back riding) close by. The owners were great to work with also - easy to communicate with and very responsive. I can't say enough about this house - we enjoyed it immensely!!!

Wasn't sure what to expect as there were few pics of this property and we were the 2nd family renting it after the renovation. The reservation was easy through paypal - the owners own several properties and live nearby the property and were available for questions. House was clean and in great shape. It appears to be early 80's vintage but has been updated nicely (probably the renovation). The master bed is verrrry comfortable. The teenagers with us realllllly loved this place. It is large and in an area of $1 million plus houses. The Poipu location is a great spot on the island - not as busy as Lihue but still close to all the sights and activities. Restaurants are limited in this area but Lihue is only 15 min away. This house is in between two beaches with easy access to both (about 1/2 mile from each on a paved path) and there are many others easily drivable. This house is in a resort area and the common grounds are well kept (lawn crews were out all the time keeping things clean). This house is near several scuba/snorkeling shops and bike rentals. Many other activities are nearby. All amenities are provided (cooking gear, satellite TV, DVD, BBQ, beach towels, water toys, snorkel gear, activity flyers) - all you really need is some groceries (grocery store is about 2 miles away) and your clothes to move right in. This house sleeps 7 or 8 and is big enough to accommodate a large group or a couple small families - a good value/night compared to what a couple of hotel rooms would cost for the same size group of people. The house is one level and should be fine for accessibility. My only nits were that the wireless did not work (owner was still working out some kinks after the renovation) and the water heater is too small for more than 3 or 4 people (it runs out quick when everyone comes back from the beach). Note - you WILL need a car for this area. I'd definitely rent this place again.
