Nice property

We will stay here again. Loved the fact that it was not right in the tourist area. The times they stated to get to the beach were not correct if you were walking.

Lovely cottage on a well designed small complex

Great position for Poipu beach and exploring the south of the island. Very well equipped kitchen. Cottage is close to the pool with views from a spacious balcony.

Spring break 2025

Great place to stay in Poipu! Condo had everything we needed - except A/C. I am sure it said it somewhere in the description but I missed it. It doesn't really cool down much, especially upstairs, so keep this in mind when booking. The crater area is beautiful and quiet! Enjoyed mornings on the porch!

Kauai Vacation

This was a great place for my family to enjoy the island. Everything was clean and fit our needs perfectly. It's conveniently located to Poipu Beach and other beautiful beaches for scuba diving and snorkeling.

Very nice place to stay!

No ac needed with the beautiful trade winds! Some hills to tackle but only .6 miles to Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach. Nice walking path around the corner connected us to these beaches or Shipwreck Beach the other direction. We had everything we needed for our stay provided at this nice condo.

Quiet, perfect location

The location is perfect! A quick run to Costco isn't too far away, and beautiful beaches are only a short walk or drive. We really enjoyed the beach chairs, boards and snorkel gear in the condo. Peaceful and quiet meals out on the lanai were a relaxing part of our trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great Location

Everything about this unit was amazing.. its perfectly located on top of the crater where you get a cool breeze in the afternoons and nights that keeps it nice and cool..a short walk to many beaches and restaurants and the pool is a perfect place to unwind and take a dip..only issue we had is with the HOA’s wife, she’s very quick to call you out and judge you, even if it was someone else that does something..she’s quick to make it awkward..other than her, it’s a great place, just don’t sneeze to loud, you’ll get in trouble

Great location for exploring Kaua'i

We loved the location of this property. It was a short walk to the beach. The rest of the island was within a reasonable car ride. Restaurants nearby were excellent. We liked that there were boogie boards, chairs, and an umbrella to use on the beach. And access to the tennis court was fun for my kids. There were a couple of minor problems with the condo that were promptly taken care of once I got in touch with the proprietor. I would definitely recommend this place for a family of four.

September Stay

Property was as described. May be the time of year but was warm even with the ceiling fans. Would not recommend for older people,we are on our 70's, as the walk leading up to the unit is steep and has several steps which make getting the luggage in the unit difficult. The pictures do not show the elevation difference between the parking area and the entrance to the unit. Great place for younger people.

Long Steep Walkway and s

Yes it's in a crater. Did not expect the long and steep walkway from parking lot to condo. I walk with a cane, was not easy. Condo itself was nice, 3 levels, more stairs, Had an issue with upstairs shower door, does not roll very well. No A/C but not needed. The outside gardens and the quiet seclusion is very relaxing.

Beautiful, clean and quiet!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at crater 26! The house was just as listed. We arrived to a clean, bright and spacious place to call home for a week. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking as well as cleaning. There was plenty of laundry soap and towels. We appreciated the extra box fans to help circulate that warm Hawai’i air. The upstairs (master) room was very spacious with a comfortable king bed and beautiful furnishings. We didn’t use the downstairs bedroom as it was just the two of us, but that was a beautifully made room as well. The pool area was a wonderful quiet and clean space to lounge in the sun and read. The loungers were very nice and the layout provided plenty of personal space. Check in/check out was easy. Thank you Jeremy for providing a wonderful home away from home for our week long kid free vacation. Would recommend crater 26 to friends and family if planning a visit to Kaua’i!

Real crater!

This is a nice clean comfortable unit with a beautiful well sheltered lanai that gets the morning sun, wonderful breakfast spot. We didn’t realize when we booked it but the name does hint at the fact that you are really in a crater. The turn off the street into the complex drops probably about 30 feet to your parking spot, then there is maybe 12-15 foot climb back up the sidewalk to get to the unit. We are able bodied so it wasn’t that big of a deal but we had planned on doing a little more walking from the unit to the beaches and shops. We ended up driving most places instead. This unit is pretty good value for your dollar I think with somewhat dated fixtures and furnishings but it was comfortable and functional. There was a shortage of Kleenex, garbage bags and no sink stopper for the kitchen sink and it seems the towels had been put away while still damp by the cleaners before our stay, so those were down points but all around we were quite satisfied.
