No ac needed with the beautiful trade winds! Some hills to tackle but only .6 miles to Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach. Nice walking path around the corner connected us to these beaches or Shipwreck Beach the other direction. We had everything we needed for our stay provided at this nice condo.

Quiet, perfect location

The location is perfect! A quick run to Costco isn't too far away, and beautiful beaches are only a short walk or drive. We really enjoyed the beach chairs, boards and snorkel gear in the condo. Peaceful and quiet meals out on the lanai were a relaxing part of our trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted. Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect location for exploring Kauai

One of our favorite things about this Poipu Crater cottage was the location - it was the perfect jumping point for exploring the whole island and getting to and from the airport. Enjoyed the pool and used the BBQ area for a grill out one night. Lanai was wonderful as well!

Comfortable beds, would stay again!

The location was great for our vacation, very close to multiple beaches and restaurants. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the lanai is a plus for eating outside. The pool was better than the photos provided on the listing. We spent hours swimming, and playing ping pong and tennis with the grandkids.
