About this property

Beach House - Steps from Beach. 3 bedroom/3 bath. Private yard, pool, hot tub

Welcome to the Poipu Beach House. IG @poipubeachhouse. A beautiful 1920s-era plantation home steps from Poipu Beach. This home is a historical gem that takes you back to old Hawaii with original wood floors, lava rock footings, and 100+ year old dry-stacked lava rock boundary wall.

Poipu Beach House is an ideal base for your Kauai getaway. Whether you lounge on the covered porch, enjoy our tropical landscaping in the spacious yard, listen to the waves from your bed, watch the roosters from the outdoor lanai, spend the afternoon in the private pool and hot tub, enjoy a secluded backyard BBQ by the firepit, cook up dinner in the fully-equipped kitchen, or stay in for movies and games, this home will provide that and more, with the charm of a plantation-style home.

The home is situated on a quiet residential lane a half block from the nearest beach. The home has all the amenities for your stay, including complete kitchen and accessories, linens, bath and beach towels, soaps, shampoos, laundry, dishwasher, coffee maker/grinder, wifi, TV, cable, toys, games, surfboards, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas and more.

The large yard is well manicured with orchids, plumeria, palms, and other tropical flowers and plants. You'll love the greenbelt walkway from the backyard to other nearby beaches, washing the sand off the toes in the outdoor shower, the sound of ocean waves and gentle trade winds as the South Shore sunsets filter into the airy windows.

This home has 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, dining and living room (with sleeper sofa), laundry room, covered porch, A/C, cable, and wifi. This home will accommodate groups up to 8. Steps from world famous sunny Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach where you can enjoy any number of beach and ocean activities, including surfing, paddleboarding, boogie boarding, fishing and whale watching. This beach house will become your family tradition.

It’s better than the pictures!

This place was amazing! The pool area is an oasis! It is secluded and private yet close to the beach. The house is supplied with everything you need and then some. Plenty of tp, laundry soap, trash bags, etc. It also has an arrangement of seasonings and sunscreen, I’m assuming left from other guests. It has toys, movies, board games, beach chairs and toys, pool floaties, umbrellas, surf boards, etc. 2 of the bedrooms have their own access to the patio, which is nice because those 2 don’t have ac. The one bedroom with the ac is a smaller room but has an en suite. Then the main room has an AC that works great and cools the house down. The beach near by has turtles, great waves to boogie board in and a park to roam around. Puka dog and Brennecke’s restaurant are within walking distance. Easy to travel to many parts of the island from here. My family and I would defiantly stay here again and encourage you too as well!

Great spot

This was a great rental, it’s so nice to just walk to the beaches and not deal with parking. The pool and hot tub were huge for the kids getting as much water time as possible. The place is certainly a bit dated, (that’s why it’s not 2000/night) but is clean and nice, definitely well cared for. Karl the property manager was great to communicate with and helped us out a lot.

Poipu Beach House

The house and the location are excellent. The house was clean and well stocked. The only drawback was that the pool and spa were cloudy and algae ridden when we arrived. We contacted the owner, who was on vacation in the continental US, and he had someone there to clean the pool and spa that day and follow up for two more days to make sure the cleanup and algae treatment were working. It did take two days before the pool and spa were ready. The hair dryer didn't work when we arrived. The owner had someone deliver a new one that day. The owner was very friendly and responsive when contacted. We would definitely stay there again.

Great Home Base for Family Vacation

Great place for family getaway. We loved boogie boarding and snorkeling at the Poipu beaches. Also, enjoyed the local shops and restaurants. It was easy to get to the beach from the house. The house was well-stocked with amenities and kitchen/laundry items. And the pool was a nice bonus!

Home base for the Family

We had a crew of 21 staying in various places in Poipu. Our house became home base, with folks coming and going as they needed. The location is amazing. Everyone had their own condos, but our place was in walking distance from all of them. Our teens could boogie board as they wanted and then come back for the pool/hot tub. Our early risers often took coffee to Brennecke's Beach or walked down to Shipwreck Beach to watch the sun rise. We hosted numerous potluck dinners at our place and there was plenty of space for folks to sit and eat. The grill and picnic table out back were perfect. There have been some updates since the photos were taken- the lanai and the back deck furniture. The bedrooms are kinda small and the carpet definitely needs to go (bring indoor flip flops), but we honestly didn't spend much time in the bedrooms. Our daughters took turns on the pull out couch and the side bedroom. Neither complained about the comfort of the pull out, so that's always a plus. Beds were comfortable and the house had a ton of throw blankets around for naps or just snuggling up. The living room/dining room combo was comfortable and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the lanai and side deck. The backyard pool, fire pit and hot tub were a gathering place as well. The hot tub had a timer, which I had never experienced. We just got in the habit of sending an advanced party to push the button and within one cycle the water would be hot again. The house has 2 AC units which work fabulously for those areas, but the cool air didn't reach the back 2 bedrooms. It was warm going to bed, but usually cooled off in the middle of the night. And we preferred the open windows to AC, so we never tried running the units all day to see if that helped the back bedrooms. The host was very responsive.

Awesome Spot, Great for Families!

We loved our time at the Beach House on Pane Rd. We had stayed in the home for a few nights, years ago, so we were excited to see the updates done in the meantime. Everybody loved having the pool and hot tub, it was almost always in use by someone in our group. Beds were very comfortable. The backyard is beautful, lush and private. The house is comfortable, only one bedroom has air conditioning so just be aware. There are fans to help circulate the air from the dining room mini split a/c so it was fine. The lanai is big and comfy, the teenagers enjoyed hanging out there. We enjoyed the kitties, chickens, geckos, anoles and Bullfrogs that greeted us everyday. The home is very close to Brenneckes Beach and Poipu Beach as well as Puka Dogs.... Basically we had a week in HEAVEN! We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a place in Poipu! Thanks Karl!!

Three years in the planning…

The vacation was cancelled twice before we were able to enjoy some time in Kauai and this property made the wait worthwhile! It’s a great beach house just steps from the beach. It has a pool that always had someone in it and a hot tub that helped smooth out the muscles after a rough day snorkeling at the many beaches…great location to golf courses and restaurants too. Great family vacation!

Great house!

We were two families staying together. The house was great. There was a bathroom for each room which was awesome. We spent most our inside time on the lanai, the kids even slept there one night. Pool and hot tub were amazing. Used the fire pit one night. Everything in the house was great. Location is the best. Nice 5 min walk to the beach. Saw sea turtles. Lots of large frogs in the property, fun for the kids. Highly recommend this rental. New updates, clean. Spacious.

Wonderful stay, great location.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying at Karl’s home last week. The home was well equipped with everything you need from laundry detergent, shampoo to extra sunscreen and ziplock bags. The lanai was wonderful to relax and lounge around after a long day at the beach which is just right at the end of the street. There is plenty of beach gear to use no need to rent any. The pool and spa were nice to play in when you want to cool off but not be sandy. All and all and wonderful stay we will be back for sure! Thank you Karl for hosting us!

Could Not Have Asked For Better

We had stayed previously on the same street as this house, and we were stoked to find something on the same street but bigger for our growing family. We booked it based upon the location, but will come back again because of the house, too. It had everything you’ll need for a week-plus in Poipu: the pool and hot tub were favorites for the young ones since they had the toys, floaties, etc. and we could go in morning, noon and night, which we did since that’s all our two-year-old wanted to do. We were eating dinner outside at the picnic table most every night, and the backyard at night is perfection. Those that stayed up later sat out by the fire pit and enjoyed the warmth and atmosphere! They had the best hand towels I’ve ever used, and ended up ordering some for our own house. The decor was fantastic! The kitchen well stocked with good cooking/grilling tools and dishes. But our favorite was the lanai. Some of us even slept out there to catch the cool air after midnight. Perfect for reading, having a beer or wine and chatting. Each night we had 200 steps to the beach to watch the sunset (and whales most nights!) We will be back soon. Thank you Karl for a fantastic place!
