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


Just steps from Poipu Beach Park 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.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe.

Wonderful Cottage Stay!

This is an awesome property! It was very charming and in excellent condition, with plenty of space. The beach is a very short walk away. All the living/sleeping spaces were very comfortable, and the cottage was well-outfitted with everything we needed (kitchen, bath, beach chairs & umbrella, beach towels, etc). Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our stay at this cottage in Poipu. It had everything we needed for a beach-centric vacation on Kaua’i. It is a short walk to Poipu and Brennecke’s beach, Puka Dog’s, and the Nukomoi surf shop. It’s also a 10 minute drive to Kōloa which has all the shops and restaurants you’d ever need plus a Big Save for grocery store items. You can also walk up to Kalapaki Joe’s for happy hour and not have to drive back home! There are quite a few rentals on the street but the local neighbors are also quite friendly - some shared fresh mango with us during our stay. Despite not having a beach view, we didn’t feel like we were missing out at all - the beach is so close and you can hear the waves in the morning and evenings while relaxing on the covered porch. We split our Kaua’i vacation between this property and a condo on the beach and I think we decided we’d have preferred the beach house experience in Poipu for the full stay if we could go back in time. 9.8/10. Awesome property. Would love to stay again!

Perfect stay!

Visited Kauai for the first time with my husband and two toddlers. This was the perfect place to stay! We spent a lot of time down the street at the beach, and all the amenities of this house made it so easy. We enjoyed using all the beach gear, the lovely outdoor shower, the washer and dryer. The house was very clean, and the beds were so comfortable. My kids were able to share a room, and the portable crib really helped. We loved this place so much!

We want to come back!

We loved this happy home! The moment we entered the door, we felt right at home. Check in was easy! After visiting Kauai (our favorite island), we stayed a week on Maui, and my sweatshirt had been tucked in my suitcase and I smelled it and said “Oh it smells (good) like the Kauai home, I miss it already!” The washing machine was a huge plus, and the air conditioning! They had tons of beach toys and chairs! We loved the grill! Everything was clean, the beds were comfy and they had plenty of hangers to hang our clothes so we didn’t have to live out of a suitcase while visiting! The safe gave us extra peace of mind and it was within a couple of minutes walking distance to the beach. Thank you for everything! I can’t say enough good things about this home, it will forever be a core memory for our vacation! We loved playing uno and relaxing here between our adventures! The host binder/booklet was the most well thought out and sincere binder that I’ve ever seen at a rental property. 10/10! It was wonderful.

Yellow House

The house is cute and is well set up with supplies. It is an easy walk to the beach, which was very nice. The AC is only in the bedrooms (stated in the description) and it is very loud. The rest of the house gets pretty hot. If you are sensitive to heat this would be something to consider.

Short walk from beach and very comfortable house

We loved our stay here. It's only a few hundred meters from the beach, but down a very quiet residential road so you're out of the fray. The kitchen has what you need and the screened in porch is a great place to relax with fresh air out of the sun. Highly recommend staying here and hope to be back.
