About this property

Among the Closest Homes to Poipu Beach • 3BR/3BA with AC and Views

  • Hurricane Lowell (September 7, 2026): Kauai is quickly bouncing back and welcoming travelers! I'm thankful to report no damage to our home which is close to the ocean but beyond the hazard zone. The last hurricane prior to Lowell was Iniki 34 years ago. I was here for that one too which helped us be 100% prepared for family and guests.

    Aikane Kauai Vacation Home is among the closest to Poipu’s best swimming and snorkeling. Enjoy the convenience to beaches without having to drive. Just walk out past two homes to the ocean, then along the coast to Poipu Beach Park.

    Comfortable, Spacious & Well Equipped

    This top-rated home is an ideal place to experience the laid-back lifestyle and natural beauty of Kauai where you’ll have exclusive use of this freestanding private residence. Guests consistently choose our home for its excellent location, spacious layout, privacy, and thoughtful amenities. Designed for Kauai’s cooling trade winds, we are also equipped with high-quality split-system air conditioning. Self check-in and covered parking at your door add to the overall convenience and comfort.

    Why guests love staying here:

    • Beach living without the resort feel
    • Close to beaches, dining, and shops
    • Great for families, friends, or couples
    • Fiber-optic internet rated at ~920 Mbps.
    • Partial ocean views with privacy landscaping
    • Private outdoor space with garden and covered lanai
    • Beach chairs, towels, coolers, and other beach essentials provided
    • Family-friendly extras: pak-n-play, stair baby gate, high chair and beach wagon

    Eco touches include hot water and electricity provided by the abundant Hawaiian sunshine with instant, automatic backup if needed and on-site recycling bins.

    Flexible Sleeping Arrangements

    Our home comfortably sleeps up to six guests + 1 infant.
    • Bedroom 1: king bed
    • Bedroom 2: 2 twins, or convert to king size
    • Bedroom 3: 2 twins, or convert to king size

    House total: 3 to 5 real beds plus a pack-n-play.

    When requested, twin beds will be converted to king size before arrival by securing a heavy horizontal strap then center piece and king-size mattress topper then finished with quality bedding — a comfortable setup as confirmed by our many returning guests.

    Why Choose Poipu

    Poipu is on the sunnier, drier side of Kauai with fabulous beaches, snorkeling, amenities and coastal walks, including the Mahaluepu Heritage Trail, in the immediate area. This is an excellent base for exploring the island as we are roughly equidistant from the lush North Shore and, in the opposite direction, west side beaches, sweeping vistas and the many hikes and walks in Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park.

    Recommendations

    We recommend bringing or renting your own mask, snorkel, fins, and life jacket, if desired, to ensure a proper fit. We have plenty of beach gear but not in every size. You are welcome to see what we have before renting. Boogie boards and umbrellas are not provided as they easily break under normal use. We also recommend trip insurance to protect against the unexpected, including weather, illness, strikes, or other unforeseen circumstances. We purchase it ourselves when we travel.

    Your Local Connection

    Booking with us gives you an instant island connection — we love sharing local tips on Kauai. Our home is ethically managed and locally owned with deep island roots. 100% of the cleaning fee goes directly to our trusted housekeeper. By choosing Aikane Kauai Vacation Home, you're supporting small business and the local community that makes Kauai so special.

    We hope you'll choose our place and enjoy the trip of a lifetime!

This house was a spectacular place to stay for our vacation! The view of the ocean from the lanai was fabulous, we were able to watch whales breaching in the ocean from the comfort of this home! Proximity to the beaches and several restaurant/bars is true as stated in the listing-a short walk! Chris, our host, is one of the nicest and most accommodating we have ever had. Thank you for sharing your home!

Chris was a welcoming host, very responsive to questions, and best of all, the accommodations exceeded our expectations.We enjoyed the view of the ocean from the balcony, the well-stocked beach gear room, and the quick walk to the beach.Most of us took morning and evening walks to check out the turtles on the beach. The kids rented surfboards and even took a lesson.Having stayed at other properties in Poipu, this is now our new favorite for family trips!

Amazing Location and House

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.

A fantastic home 100 yards from the ocean!

This house was perfect for the 6 of us and the host Chris was so helpful and attentive. The house is 100 yards from the ocean and had all the amenities we needed. It is also stocked with plenty of beach chairs, boogie boards, snorkel gear, etc. Look no further for your place to stay in Poipu. I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone visiting Kauai.

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

Chris is a dream host, having reached out before our trip to provide the keyless access code and internet password, address (of course), a useful car rental and airport tip, and even asked if there were any special requests. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a personalized welcome letter, a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts (delicious BTW) and emergency phone numbers for both him and Theresa. He even checked-in (via VRBO) to make sure that our stay was going well. The house is absolutely beautiful, a stunning view of the beach and Pacific Ocean, a short walk to two beaches (including the infamous Poipu beach where sea turtles come to shore each night) and the famous Puka Dog. The home was clean and welcoming, very well stocked, and you could even say that it’s a VRBO renter’s dream.

Kauai December Vacation

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'.

From anything beach related, to a well stocked kitchen. If you think you may have forgotten something in the way of toiletries, just look in the cabinet in the upstairs bathroom. it is stocked with everything. The house was very clean and well maintained. The owner Chris is the nicest man!!! We were welcomed with a basket with coffee and fruit. I really can't say enough good things about this rental except we didn't want to leave. Thanks again Chris!!

Best Vacation Ever!

Lovely home to spend a week in Kauai. Clean and extremely well stocked with additional items typically not provided in rental properties (toiletries, paper products, number of beach chairs and umbrellas, beach towels, etc.) Chris (the owner) stopped by to bring us some fresh fruit and removed some ripe bananas from the property's tree. Along with the additional fruit we purchased, we make unbelievable smoothies during the week. The location could not be better. Two minute walks to see sunrises and sunsets at Poipu Beach. We drove over 800 miles during our 9 days visiting so many beautiful beaches, sites and hiked several half and all day trails. Also always fun to stop and shop at some great outdoor malls. We were so fortunate that the weather was perfect the week between Christmas to after New Years. Chris sent a thoughtful thank you text after our stay and we replied that we hope our future travels take us back to their home and Kauai. If you are thinking of staying at this home you don't be disappointed!

We loved our stay in Poipu! Location, location, location. Perfect for a family stay. Great communication and real care from the host Chris. Thoughtfully set up, lots of extra amenities, and tons of clear signage to help us quickly get oriented to the house. We stayed during a Kona low and felt safe and secure in the home while still seeing waves right from the lanai!
