Delightful Historic Cottage Steps from Poipu/Brennecke's Beaches A/C

If Kauai has reinstalled the 10-to14-day Quarantine requirement for your dates, we will fully refund your costs, even though our regular cancellation policy is more strict. A quarantine is not a vacation!

Just steps from Poipu Beach and Brennecke’s Beach, this is an original plantation-style cottage, lovingly renovated and beautifully appointed. It features a new fully-equipped kitchen with granite counters, new bath plus an outdoor shower, two bedrooms, screened lanai, and landscaped garden. Its high ceilings, giant airy windows, island furnishings and tropical ceiling fans in each room give you the feeling of 'paradise of old.'

The home is in a charming beachfront neighborhood on a quiet street. Stroll to Brennecke’s Beach, famous for its perfect boogie boarding waves, or Poipu Beach, which, with calmer water and beautiful snorkeling, is always rated one of the top ten Hawaii beaches. Everything Poipu has to offer is a beautiful walk away on either the Koloa Heritage Trial or the Poipu Kai Greenbelt. This is includes restaurants, shopping, adventure outfitters, tennis courts, pickle courts, playground, and, of course, those beautiful beaches. Two great golf courses are just a mile’s drive.

A PERFECT POIPU DAY

Awake to the sounds of palm fronds and waves, and enjoy coffee on the screened lanai.

Grab your snorkel and walk to Poipu Beach to enjoy the morning fish in the warm calm waters.

Play a round of golf or join in a tennis clinic at one of the beautiful facilities near the cottage. Then sit down for a patio lunch at a local cafe.

Walk to Nukomoi’s to rent stand-up paddleboards and try this new favorite sport. Or take boogie boards from the cottage to try the waves at Brennecke’s.

Crawl onto a chaise in the garden for a few pages of your book and a nap.

Prepare a tropical salad in the fully-equipped gourment kitchen, grill fish from the Koloa Fish Market under the pergola, and relax on the garden patio with wine from The Wine Shop in Koloa.

Sleep peacefully in your Tommy Bahama king bed with luxurious sheets, while dreaming of the next day's adventures.

Our new “happy place”!
The reviews and descriptions are spot on! This little cottage mage our trip to Kauai everything we hoped it would be. Perfectly located about 100 yards to the beach on a quiet residential street, it was the perfect “oasis” on the south shore. Forget the “condos” of Poipu Kai and immerse yourself in the real spirit of being a “local” by relaxing in your own private cottage. Everything was perfect!

A perfect place to stay
This home was a wonderful place to stay for our Hawaii vacation. The house was so close to Poipu Beach but when you were there, it did not feel like it. The house itself was a wonderful place to rest in between Kauai adventures. We particularly loved the screened in porch, where we could feel the ocean breezes and listened to the birds (and roosters!). The interior was lovely and well appointed. We were not in need for anything. The property owner was prompt and responsive to any inquiries 10 out of 10 from us. --P&T from California

The little yellow bungalow was the perfect accommodations for our group of 3. Its steps away from the beach, close to shopping and restaurants. Pam, the host, is attentive and welcoming. Definitely returning to this lovely home.

Beautiful cottage
Enjoyed our time here at the cottage so much! Our favorite part was listening to the ocean from the lanai. I can hear it now. Everything went well, although I will say the television needs updating in the living area and master bedroom as well as the baby pack and play chair. Overall, these elements did not ruin our stay at all and I appreciate the quick response from the property manager when addressing any issues. Hopefully they can make the updates. Will definitely be back again!

Family vacation in Poipu
I would round up my stay to 3.5 stars but I listed it as 3 stars because of cleanliness issues. The property looks so bright and cheerful in the listing but in reality it just didn't feel clean and felt a bit dingy. For example, the master bed had a huge dust coating over the bedframe which felt disconcerting as you don't want to sleep in a dusty bed. The ceiling fans and towel rack over the toilet were coated in dust...The ants were also horrible. They list this as a problem in the property instructions but we were careful with food and still found ants in the shower and our suitcases. They attacked a nightguard in its case on the bedside table--just really gross. Again, things didn't feel clean. Even some of the dishes in the cabinets were coated with sticky residue. And there weren't as many personal touches as I'm used to with VRBOs. No filtered water or soap provided. The location was stellar; five minute walk to the beach. But we were a bit let down by the property.

Unforgettable beach stay
This place is just heaven on earth. My husband and I had the most amazing vacation here and it simply couldn’t have been more perfect. The location is unbelievable - an easy walk to the beautiful beach and also to nearby restaurants and shops. This property has everything you will ever need, and we especially enjoyed breakfast on the peaceful lanai every morning, listening to the waves and the chickens. You would be hard-pressed to find a better rental anywhere on the south shore. Unbelievable and we will be back!

Awesome property and location
Property was even better than advertised. Highly recommend esp for boogie boarding, beach activities. Loved the outdoor shower! House is great. Spent one whole day just relaxing on property itself. Neighborhood was quiet and worked out well, some rentals and some local residents and a good balance of each with a pleasant vibe. Host expectations were friendly and communicated clearly. We were grateful for their logistics support for checking in and out and the rental really made our stay in Kauai special. :)

The perfect beach cottage
We adore this place! It's light and airy with plenty of room and with places to curl up and read, doze or just enjoy the island cross breezes. The location is perfect- just a couple minute walk over to several terrific beaches. If you forget something (like binoculars to watch the whales) it's a quick skip back to pick them up. The king-sized bed is very comfortable and both bedrooms have fans and air conditioners if it's too warm. The decor is simple and uncluttered yet we had everything we needed, even a teapot! Pam is a gracious host, most accommodating, and she even dropped off a couple avocados which we devoured. When we stayed last year, another couple stayed a couple days with us and the setup worked just fine for four. You can't do better than this!

We have been staying in Poipu since 1972. This cottage was by far the most charming and comfortable spot we’ve been to. It’s in the heart of poipu beach but feels very quiet and secluded. The amenities are outstanding and we can’t wait to return!

Family of 4…
This was a delightful place to stay for our family of 4. The location was great and the property was exactly (if not better) as advertised. When you walk the 2 minutes to the beach, you are at the park between 2 amazing beaches. To the left is Brenneke’s and to the right is Poipu. Each day there were turtles. We also were lucky enough to watch a seal come sunbathe on shore. There were no issues that required to connect with Pam, but instructions were easy and quick.
