We received this note from the family who reserved 11 days over the Christmas-New Year's holiday:
Thank you so much for your attentive service during our family stay. The home was beautifully appointed, so clean.
The home's air temperature was perfect. We were able to set the temperature in each bedroom and in the living-kitchen-dining area to our liking.
The huge dining table was our gathering spot every night after a day of hiking or beaching etc.. The kitchen worked well for our family meals, and the cabinet of games was a nice touch.
The full size washer and dryer in the laundry room was stocked with Persil laundry soap. And the Kai diffuser was an over the top touch. Well done. We'll be back! Mahalo and Aloha, Joe H ****
Relax in the sun on your private poolside chaise lounge. Stroll down to Keoki's to listen to Hawaiian music while enjoying your favorite beverage and their famous Hula Pie.

Amazing vacation!!!
The family and I absolutely loved this property. It was way bigger than expected, clean, had A/C, and a beautiful lanai with amazing views. The pool was the perfect temperature, the kids absolutely loved the pool. The property had easy check in and check out instructions. It was in a great location just a short drive to the beach and within walking distance to shopping and places to eat. Our experience was magical and I’m sure we’ll be back. We miss it already and we haven’t even left the island yet. Memories for a lifetime. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your amazing home.

Great Family and Friends Retreat
This is a beautiful home in a great location. Everything was clean and well maintained and plenty of room for two families. It was great to come back to the house after a day of adventures and just relax by the pool. Our only advice for those looking to rent to this home are, if you struggle with stairs, this may not work for you. The kitchen, dining, and living area are on the second floor so it's a lot of up and down. The other advice is make sure you have all your kitchen needs. The kitchen is well appointed with cookware and dishes, but didn't have a stock of any spices (just some pepper, no salt) or any cleaning products for wiping down counters between meals. Overall, just a wonderful experience.

Nice place to stay
House was nice and in a great location. There was construction going on at two of the neighbors properties that was a bit bothersome. We did have the maintenance worker show up and enter the property un announced which was not something i was happy with or prepared for. Notice would have been nice. I believe the purpose of the visit was to confirm the number of people we had there, although he fixed two minor issues that could have waited. The pool was fun. The AC blew cold and kept the house comfortable. All in all a good time.

Poipu home
Family stayed for a week. Had a wonderful time. House had so much space The kitchen was fully equipped. Two major downfalls would be perhaps lack of one more community TV in the living room downstairs. Only two of the four bedrooms had televisions. At the end of the day to wind down and watch a little current events or TV, that would’ve been a bonus. And the other would be the waterfall on the pool was not working the entire week we were there. description of home stated that the fountain or waterfall would be on a timer from a certain time daily. Waterfall never worked.

Great, great property!
We loved the place! It was nice, modern, big, roomy, spotlessly clean, and well fitted with everything needed. Especially appreciated the laundry facilities which allowed us to keep our clothes clean during our stay AND return home with clean things so no need for that post-vacation duty! The pool was excellent -- perfect temperature, perfect water. We also liked how convenient it was to restaurants and shopping, and a great base for the excursions we took around the island. Beds were plus and comfortable, which was great after very busy days. Very "homey" and quiet neighborhood.
Owners/management are VERY concerned about noise so not a place for rowdy gatherings or even noisy children. We chalk that up to neighbors who likely have complained, but we were a very quiet family of calm adults so had no issues (nor did we cause any).

Wonderful time
Love the great room upstairs and nice big kitchen. The pool was the star of the stay. Very large pool was great to come home to and cool off and have some fun. The house is in a great location. We had a great time!!
The only negative would be the bedrooms doors are not really doors at all. They have open slats that allows noise in as if they are not there. And the washing machine sounds like a jet is taking off in the house. But overall a wonderful home and we had a great time!!!

The neighborhood is beautiful. The house was big and comfortable. The pool was amazing! Having access to the athletic club was a nice bonus. The golf course was beautiful. The views from the deck were amazing. I do agree with one of the other reviews regarding the the bathrooms( shower valves could use some TLC) . As well as one of the BBQs needing TLC. The host was great with responding to the small issues and any questions. Overall best stay ever hands down! You do not want to pass in this place! Would love to stay here again!!

Our stay at the Dolphin House was very relaxing. The house had everything we needed (enough rooms/beds for our family, supplies, pool towels, beach items, etc.). The location is fantastic. Walking distance to the shopping center and a short drive to other shopping and Poipu Beach. We loved the pool and the fountain/waterfall that turned on each day.
Beds were comfortable and there are a lot of places to kick back and relax.
We did have a few minor issues while we were at the property and the property management company was very responsive. Nothing that impacted our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Graduation trip
This is an unbelievably spectacular property. Huge house. Wrap around deck. Massive kitchen all overlooking the golf course with partial views of the ocean. The 800 sq foot pool in the back was a big hit with my boys and may for a great way to end a beach or adventure day with a dip in the pool and a cold beer or glass of wine. Pure heaven! Grills in back were perfect for cooking steaks or fish that we caught. We felt like we never had to leave to go out to eat as the house and amenities were so fabulous! There were plenty of beach chairs and boggy boards to take down to the beach which was only a 1/2 mile away!!! Golf course was beautiful, fun to play and easy to get a tee time - vacation of a lifetime for us!!! Only thing I will mention is the waterfall and dolphin fountain in the pool are in a timer that runs from 11:00am to 4:00 pm. We missed enjoying this many days because we were at the beach on an adventure tour on the island. It would be great if it ran for a longer period of time in the morning, or from 8:00-10:00 am then maybe in the afternoon/evening from 3:00-6:00 pm so we could enjoy it more when we were at the house. But otherwise totally recommend staying here at this fabulous home!!!! Thanks for letting us be spiked and enjoy your home! Hoping to come back again someday!!!!!

Pretty Pleasant Poipu Place!
Well located for Poipu Beach, Old Koloa Town, Shopping and has a beautiful, peaceful view of the golf course and off in the distance the ocean. All four bedrooms are downstairs and the living, dining, kitchen etc.. upstairs. The pool was great too. A grill upstairs by the kitchen, would have been ideal? The doors inside the house (ALL) are louvered and allow for very little privacy. Nice laundry room, towels, beach chairs, kitchen equipment etc.. One "bedroom" didn't have a closet at all?
