Lovely home and a great fit for our 3 generation family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were all happy and comfortable with the home. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the equipment, dishes, etc, we needed for meal prep.The boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, and carrying cart were a big plus. The walk to the pool was a little longer than I would have liked, and it took us a while to find it. (It's located behind Kalapaki Joe's Restaurant) But the pool and hot tub were both clean, and the kids really enjoyed them. The house was also stocked with a great variety of books, DVDs, and games.The outside BBQ/lanai area was comfortable and a wonderful hangout spot. Would highly recommend Kauai Vacation Rentals.

Fantastic

Super comfortable for my family of 5. It’s next door to the Grand Hyatt so convenient for a conference or to enjoy the pool area there as a guest. The beach is a short walk away with great sunsets and perfect waves for boogie boarding. We had such a fantastic time!

Wonderful rental for family

The rental was a perfect fit for our family. Easy access to a pool, walking distance to perfect snorkeling beach where we saw a monk seal, turtles, a variety of fish and dolphins further out. The home was spacious, clean and well equipped for our family needs. We loved the little secluded patio and hope to return to the same house as a family tradition moving forward.

Family Paradise in Poipu

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed ten days with our two teenagers and their grandparents and found our rental home to be perfect for a group of 6! The house was bright and breezy and in an optimal location on the Poipu Kai green belt, close to the Grand Hyatt and beach trails as well as within walking distance to Brennecke’s beach for sunset and beach time. We enjoyed the Poipu Kai pool as well. The unit was well stocked with chairs, beach toys, coolers and lots of games and books too! The only disappointment for us was that one of the bedrooms stated it had a queen bed however it was only a full and was too short for my husband’s comfort. It was a small room so I doubt a queen would have fit. Still we had an overall pleasant stay and would highly recommend and consider a return to this lovely little Poipu Shells home!

Amazing home in an amazing spot

We absolutely LOVED this home. It was spotless- I think the cleanest and most welcoming rental we have stayed in ever. The energy and feeling of the house is pure aloha- so warm and happy and gorgeous. It was very well stocked with toys, puzzles, games, tons of beach toys, snorkel masks, towels, and even sunscreen and a nice straw sun hat that I borrowed. We would love to stay here again. The view was incredible, we loved watching the birds and people walking by, the view of the mountains is fabulous and it’s a short walk to poipu and shipwreck beach- all along a lovely and safe path which our 3 year old loved. Thank you so much for keeping this home so nice and awesome. We would love to stay here again in the future. Aloha

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Shells at Poipu was lovely. The house was in a nice neighborhood and it was clean and spacious. There was everything you need for your stay from kitchen appliances to loads of beach towels.We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home. The only drawback was that we couldn't find the shared pool. There was nothing in the house to tell us where to go. We took off looking for it one day and tried the key in 6 different pools before calling the office to locate the pool. We were given verbal instructions how to get there from a woman who didn't really know where the pool was located. Finally after over an hour of looking we found it. That could have easily have been avoided by having a map at the house.

Wonderful Week Stay at Shells of Poipu in July

Our family of 3 and our daughters best friend enjoyed a week long stay at Shells of Poipu. The property was roomy, clean, and having 2 bedrooms on one side of the house with the master bedroom on the other gave us all privacy. Huge windows made it lovely to look out at the green belt and all the beautiful plants and trees. We enjoyed meeting the neighbors in the evenings around sunset. My favorite part was the 1 minute walk to the Grand Hyatt where I watched every sunrise and moonrise. We were also treated on our last day to the beginning of the historic waves the island hadn"t seen since mid to late 90"s. Stunningly beautiful place to visit.

Bright, Quiet and Relaxing

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was bright with lots of windows. AC was a necessity for us and worked great. Location was awesome- we walked to Shipwreck beach for tide pools and short drive to Poipu Beach Park for swimming (walk was too far for the kids age 8 and 10- had tears the day we tried). Made use of the beach supplies in the garage (chairs, boogie boards mostly but there was a wagon, big coolers, umbrella was missing a pin). Pool and jacuzzi was down the path a ways and was good for an afternoon. The green belt path was really nice to walk in the mornings with banana trees and flowering plants. We did lots of cooking and baking- not much in terms of spices, staples, but that always varies on what people leave behind and what gets thrown away. Kitchen tools were in decent shape. Knives were sharp and pans were nice quality. Neighbors were so very sweet and let the kids feed lizards! House was super quiet!! No roosters, no loud talking, no loud parties. I wish the house was cleaner- it could definitely use a deep cleaning (wiping down drawer/sink handles/towel racks, removal of decor that catches dust) and refreshed bath towels. Bathrooms really need updating but did the job. Master bed was comfortable. Washer/dryer was put to use and worked well.

The Shells at Poipu is a nice little house just a few minutes walk from the Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach. Outside the front door, you can still hear the waves crashing on the shore a few hundred yards away. The house is certainly adequate, but nothing lush. One room w/ a queen bed is very small, but the house worked well with our five adults. The air conditioning did it's job, as did everything else in the house. It came with ample beach stuff (chairs, umbrella, towels, etc.). Didn't use the pool, which looked nice, but was a five minute walk. We were extremely impressed with the management company as they were very understanding and helpful after someone in our party was injured in a biking accident and was laid up using crutches...much appreciated!

Lovely home

The grounds are absolutely beautiful! Great location. House was clean and appealing. The only thing I would suggest is to have luggage racks so the suit cases don't have to sit on the floor. Some minor updating is needed. Overall we would definitely stay there again. Property management was wonderful!!

Great house in perfect location.

We had a great 5 night stay here. The house is very comfortable with central A/C and close to everything in Poipu. 15 minute walk to Poipu Beach and Brennache’s beach. brennache’s was great for boogie boarding g (plenty of boogie boards at this house). Poipu is great for children snd families. The house is just as advertised. The kitchen is well stocked. You will need ground coffee for the coffee maker. The only tiny thing is the hot water in the hall bathroom isn’t hot but it is fine in the master. Very quiet here and beautiful.
