This was our second stay in this home and it was perfect. The owners have done an amazing job making sure the house has everything you need from towels to sand toys
even down to all the kitchen utensils. We always feel at home her due to the wonderful attention to detail. Can't wait to come back next year.

The house is fantastic, lots of comfortable spaces to lounge inside and out. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset from the sleeping porch. Would gladly stay here again.

This was the perfect home base for our Kaua’i adventures. Clean, bright, cozy and relaxing. Coffee in the morning on the back porch, ocean view sunsets upstairs, and a convenient outdoor shower. We take our time to pick winner VRBOs and this was another one. Thanks so much for an amazing stay.

This is a beautiful and very comfortable property for a party of four; probably too small for any more, however. The patio/deck is an excellent place to socialize and play cards in the evening, and it is a 10 minute walk to a fantastic beach. About our only criticism is that the garbage can was not taken out for pick up and the recyclables were not returned before our stay, so that the can was at least half full and the recycling bins were also half full. We also would have liked a little more extra toilet paper and paper towels. Otherwise, everything was great and we would definitely return again.

This house was absolutely perfect! Exactly as described and pictured, great location, and plentiful amenities. Perfect for our family of four, walked to the beach every day, the wagon and chairs along with boogie boards were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely stay here again, thank you for sharing your home with us!

This is our family’s third return to Kauai and this home. It always provides us everything we need for a comfortable stay. Our hosts are communicative and the neighborhood in excellent location for all we desired to explore. We’re looking forward to returning again soon. Mahalo!

Loved this place. The Lani makes the place huge and it comes with all the amenities/supplies you need including bikes, snorkel gear, umbrellas, lawn chairs, and even a nifty wagon to bring everything to the beach.

We stayed a week with 10-14 yr old kids and they loved this house so much! Had dual outdoor showers, outdoor beds, Sonos, TV in rooms, all amenities, washer/dryer in garage, surfbaords, wagon, snorkeling gear, balls, etc. Kitchen was stocked with much more than most VRBO's w/ shampoo/conditioner/wash/beach towels/chairs/earplugs for roosters :)
Short drives to any activity around Kauai. Walking distance to Brennecke & Poipu Beach which offered boogie boarding, snorkeling in a cove or outside of it with oodles of sea turtles, watching 20-40 sea turtles sleep every night at Poipu beach, sea lions, etc.
Walked to Puka Dog and Brenneckes for dinners/lunch and also went to upscale Keoki's which was only 2 min drive. The walks on the beach for sunrise/sunset were breathtaking as you can walk to all the beachside resorts in the area. You could catch a luau there, dine out or take surfing lessons(which we did).
It was 20 minutes to Li'hue for Costco, groceries, Kalamaku luau at the Gaylords plantation, or malasadas at the Kauai Bakery and coffee.
We shopped/dined in Koloa and loved the lobster roll at Kengi Burger-large burrito size type sushi roll..yummers.
We hit Hanapepe (Lilo and Stich city) enroute to snorkeling at Salt Pond Beach and hiking Waimea and Ko'ke state park area. We did the river tubing at Kauai Backcountry Adventures. We loved the north side of the island too-hiked Haena State Park(need reservations months in advance), snorkeled Anini and hung in Hanalei

This was our second stay at this house and everything about it was perfect - the location is close to beaches (where we saw sea turtles every day!), it is well-equipped with everything you need for the beach and we loved the decor and furnishings too. Thank you for having us and we hope to return again!

This place was phenomenal! So much room and great covered outdoor space for the storm that blew through. The kids enjoyed sleeping on the screened in lanai. We had one small issue, and the owner and property manager were very quick to respond! The location to the beach was amazing. We definitely hope to return again soon!
