About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Among the closest homes to Poipu Beach. Partial Ocean View, A/C, Locally owned.

Aikane is Hawaiian for 'friendly' which best describes our delightful beach house. Ocean proximity gives you the convenience of a short walk to a variety of beaches. Walk past 2 homes to the ocean then along the coast past 3 more to reach the first of several beaches, body surfing, snorkeling lagoon and grassy play areas.

Cool and comfortable, I designed our home to harness cross ventilation from the cooling trade winds. Ceiling fans, quiet split-system ductless A/C and covered parking at your front door are especially nice on the warmest Hawaiian days.

Our home was extensively renovated including new windows, quiet split-system A/C units, thermal reflective roof, solar and more. This really is a cool place to stay.

Travel Light. Aikane is equipped with lots of beach stuff (beach chairs, coolers, sand toys, etc.). We recommend guests bring their own masks, snorkels, fins and life jackets, if desired, to ensure proper fit. Additional items like beach umbrellas and boogies boards may be found at the house but are not part of our inventory so are not stocked or replaced.

We also provide cable WiFi, drip coffee maker, full separate sets of bath and beach towels, washer/dryer and lots more.

Bedroom 1: king size bed with ensuite full bath and walk-in double shower.

Bedroom 2: 1 king bed OR convert to 2 twins upon request.

Bedroom 3: 1 king bed OR convert to 2 twins upon request.

For king beds, the twins are secured together with a special horizontal strap and center piece covered with a king size topper and quality bedding. They are very comfortable as confirmed by our many returning guests. We'll have everything set to your preference before arrival.

The 6 person maximum counts the youngest to oldest. We have bedding for 6 guests. No sofa sleepers or futons. Please read through the policies to be sure this is a good fit before booking.

Aikane Kauai Vacation Home is locally owned and managed by Chris White, a life-long Kauai resident. Book directly with Chris through Vrbo with confidence.

This place was amazing! Steps from incredible snorkeling and boogie boarding with three kids ages 10-15. House was pristine and comfortable. We can’t wait to go back another time!

This great property is located one block off the beach with many outstanding amenities. The two separate floors made it easy for our young granddaughter to sleep with a monitor while we viewed the ocean and whales from the patio. Chris is an excellent host that responds to any questions or needs you may have. Highly recommend

Overall, the property had everything we wanted during our stay in Poipu. The house was spacious, clean and stocked with all the right amenities. It was walking distance to beaches and came stocked with everything you would need at the beach. The owner was very communicative and the checkin/checkout process was very easy. Would stay here again without a doubt.

Chris was a great communicator and the property was exactly as described. It ended up being perfect for a family trip. It was a short walk away from Poipu beach & a short drive to Shipwreck Beach.

Location was great. House was very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen lacked a lot of basic things needed for cooking (oil, etc.). Overall a comfortable stay and 2 minute walk from an amazing beach.

Thank you Chis and Teresa for a fantastic family vacation in your Poipu Beach home. Our 3 generations of family members had a terrific time with the beach, sightseeing and shopping! Wish we could stay longer to eat at all the great local restaurants/cafes nearby. Thanks for your excellent communication and Kauai tips. Aloha and Mahalo Nicole and family from Australia 🇦🇺

Home is exactly as described with multiple comfortable spaces to relax & lounge, both inside & out. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen as well as the ample beach gear. Proximity to beaches & the view of the ocean are hard to beat. Easy communication, seamless check in, & attention to detail from Chris was superb! We hope to return!

Great beach house close to the ocean (15 second walk). Chris (the owner) was great and brought us fresh bananas, lemons, avocados and lychees! The house was well stocked for cooking and had all the beach gear you would need (boogie boards, snorkel, fins, mask, coolers , chairs, umbrellas , etc...) Awesome house!

We booked this rental 8 months ago based on excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. Location, amenities, and communication from Chris all deserved 5 stars. We have been to Kauai three times and think that the Poipu Beach area is the best area to stay based on weather, beaches, and restaurants / shops. Thanks to Chris for providing extra care to make us feel welcome and well informed.

The house was beautiful -- clean, all the appliances worked and close to the beach. The host was truly outstanding. I had one minor problem, texted him, and he replied immediately and fixed it on our schedule. He also told us some history of Kauai only a local would know!

Place is all anyone would want. View of ocean, close to beach like 3 houses. Boogie boards, fins, masks, flip flops, suntan lotion of all types, mustard, mayo, ketchup and most spices, puzzles for down time, lounge chairs for beach, umbrellas and cart to take all the stuff and much more. Air in all bedrooms and in living rm upstairs along with ceiling fans. Side patio downstairs with great breeze with table & chairs & upstairs sitting for 8 with 2 tables. Mahalo Chris. Everyone loved the place.

This place has been perfect for us for a gathering of the clan to celebrate my wife's significant birthday. Plenty of room for the six of us. The location was spot on, with an easy walk to the beach, and not too far from some very good restaurants. If you're looking for the six burner gas stovetop, etc., maybe not, but it's clean and comfortable. Chris, the owner, was easy to work with and very responsive. I'm happy to recommend this home!

All you could ask for! Two houses from the ocean (with turtles). Spectacular view from lanai. Two of the best beaches within walking. Piopu beach has it all! Chris & Theresa provided everything . They were wonderful. The restaurants were close and fabulous! We had a family of six and there was plenty of room and so much to do. We definitely will come again. Mahalo!

We chose this location because we read that good weather in the winter is on the South Shore and we were not disappointed. Brennecke's Beach for riding the waves was just a short walk and with a beach cart available it made carrying chairs, boogie boards, snorkling gear, etc (all of which Chris has available!) an easy trek. Poipu Beach located adjacent to Brennecke's is great for snorkeling. And the location is an easy drive from the airport as well as convenient to Costco and Walmart for grocery runs. Chris was a wonderful host and his place provided an inviting and comfortable place to stay during our visit. Should we find an opportunity to return to this beautiful island, we most certainly would choose to stay at Chris'.

There were five of us staying in this wonderful home. the home was well-equipped with everything to prepare meals. There were plenty of beach toys. Nice having the line outside to hang our wet clothing. The outdoor tap/shower to rinse the sand off our feet. We loved the location near Brennecke Beach for boogie boarding, close to restaurants, the Heritage trail, and Poipu Beach. Watching the turtles come to shore at night. Chris was an excellent host.

This was the most amazing place. It fit all 6 of us perfectly! The view was fantastic! The amenities are too many to list... Kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots/pans, cutting boards, blenders etc. The View was amazing. The owners are great! We were in communication with them the entire time we were there. From my mom (71) to my daughters (21) we all loved this house! We all had our personal space and there are way too many extras to count! Thank you Chris and Theresa for the beautiful property and AMAZING stay!

Wow! We can't say enough good things about this property. From the beautiful ocean views, short walking distance to popular beaches, wonderful home with everything you would need (including beach toys, beach wagon, snorkel gear, boogie boards, high chairs.... the list goes on and on) and one of the best parts - Chris (the owner) came to the house to harvest the ripe bananas, mangos and papaya that were surrounding the house for us to enjoy! Chris is a very personable and accommodating owner who was available for all our needs. We couldn't give this house enough recommendation. We won't be staying anywhere else when we come back to Kauai.
