Great property with everthing we would need, short walk to beach. Large enough to accommodate our family of 5 adults. Great memories.

The house was perfect. The location was amazing and centrally located for all island activities. Beach was less than 5 minute walk. The house was well maintained and full of all the essentials and more. The management staff was ready to help with any and all questions or requests. The house was perfect and made the vacation easy and comfortable.

The rental was a perfect fit for our family. Easy access to a pool, walking distance to perfect snorkeling beach where we saw a monk seal, turtles, a variety of fish and dolphins further out. The home was spacious, clean and well equipped for our family needs. We loved the little secluded patio and hope to return to the same house as a family tradition moving forward.

We stayed ten days with our two teenagers and their grandparents and found our rental home to be perfect for a group of 6! The house was bright and breezy and in an optimal location on the Poipu Kai green belt, close to the Grand Hyatt and beach trails as well as within walking distance to Brennecke’s beach for sunset and beach time. We enjoyed the Poipu Kai pool as well. The unit was well stocked with chairs, beach toys, coolers and lots of games and books too! The only disappointment for us was that one of the bedrooms stated it had a queen bed however it was only a full and was too short for my husband’s comfort. It was a small room so I doubt a queen would have fit. Still we had an overall pleasant stay and would highly recommend and consider a return to this lovely little Poipu Shells home!

Property was great but shower enclosures are pretty stained and need to be updated

We absolutely LOVED this home. It was spotless- I think the cleanest and most welcoming rental we have stayed in ever. The energy and feeling of the house is pure aloha- so warm and happy and gorgeous. It was very well stocked with toys, puzzles, games, tons of beach toys, snorkel masks, towels, and even sunscreen and a nice straw sun hat that I borrowed. We would love to stay here again. The view was incredible, we loved watching the birds and people walking by, the view of the mountains is fabulous and it’s a short walk to poipu and shipwreck beach- all along a lovely and safe path which our 3 year old loved. Thank you so much for keeping this home so nice and awesome. We would love to stay here again in the future. Aloha

Shells at Poipu was lovely. The house was in a nice neighborhood and it was clean and spacious. There was everything you need for your stay from kitchen appliances to loads of beach towels.We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home. The only drawback was that we couldn't find the shared pool. There was nothing in the house to tell us where to go. We took off looking for it one day and tried the key in 6 different pools before calling the office to locate the pool. We were given verbal instructions how to get there from a woman who didn't really know where the pool was located. Finally after over an hour of looking we found it. That could have easily have been avoided by having a map at the house.

Our family of 3 and our daughters best friend enjoyed a week long stay at Shells of Poipu. The property was roomy, clean, and having 2 bedrooms on one side of the house with the master bedroom on the other gave us all privacy. Huge windows made it lovely to look out at the green belt and all the beautiful plants and trees. We enjoyed meeting the neighbors in the evenings around sunset. My favorite part was the 1 minute walk to the Grand Hyatt where I watched every sunrise and moonrise. We were also treated on our last day to the beginning of the historic waves the island hadn"t seen since mid to late 90"s. Stunningly beautiful place to visit.

We have rented this house once before in 2016. We love the location, it was clean, we liked the neighbors. We will stay here again when we are on Kauai.

House was bright with lots of windows. AC was a necessity for us and worked great. Location was awesome- we walked to Shipwreck beach for tide pools and short drive to Poipu Beach Park for swimming (walk was too far for the kids age 8 and 10- had tears the day we tried). Made use of the beach supplies in the garage (chairs, boogie boards mostly but there was a wagon, big coolers, umbrella was missing a pin). Pool and jacuzzi was down the path a ways and was good for an afternoon. The green belt path was really nice to walk in the mornings with banana trees and flowering plants. We did lots of cooking and baking- not much in terms of spices, staples, but that always varies on what people leave behind and what gets thrown away. Kitchen tools were in decent shape. Knives were sharp and pans were nice quality. Neighbors were so very sweet and let the kids feed lizards! House was super quiet!! No roosters, no loud talking, no loud parties. I wish the house was cleaner- it could definitely use a deep cleaning (wiping down drawer/sink handles/towel racks, removal of decor that catches dust) and refreshed bath towels. Bathrooms really need updating but did the job. Master bed was comfortable. Washer/dryer was put to use and worked well.

Beautiful property. Quiet setting with 2 wonderful beaches within short walking distance. Clean, spacious, and comfortable property. Plenty of beach toys for variety of activities. Very hospitable management team.

The Shells at Poipu is a nice little house just a few minutes walk from the Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach. Outside the front door, you can still hear the waves crashing on the shore a few hundred yards away. The house is certainly adequate, but nothing lush. One room w/ a queen bed is very small, but the house worked well with our five adults. The air conditioning did it's job, as did everything else in the house. It came with ample beach stuff (chairs, umbrella, towels, etc.). Didn't use the pool, which looked nice, but was a five minute walk. We were extremely impressed with the management company as they were very understanding and helpful after someone in our party was injured in a biking accident and was laid up using crutches...much appreciated!

The grounds are absolutely beautiful! Great location. House was clean and appealing. The only thing I would suggest is to have luggage racks so the suit cases don't have to sit on the floor. Some minor updating is needed. Overall we would definitely stay there again. Property management was wonderful!!

Very good property close to all the beaches in Poipu, walkable to Hyatt and hiking trails, Brennekes and Poipu beach and restaurants. On the walking trail to the Hyatt. Wonderful neighbors too! Will definitely come back here.

We had a great 5 night stay here. The house is very comfortable with central A/C and close to everything in Poipu. 15 minute walk to Poipu Beach and Brennache’s beach. brennache’s was great for boogie boarding g (plenty of boogie boards at this house). Poipu is great for children snd families. The house is just as advertised. The kitchen is well stocked. You will need ground coffee for the coffee maker. The only tiny thing is the hot water in the hall bathroom isn’t hot but it is fine in the master. Very quiet here and beautiful.

I stayed here with my husband and 2 girls (ages 9 and 5) and my in-laws. Plenty of room for everyone. Due to Covid, we had to drive to the property management office to pick up keys.. no personal welcome- wasn’t the end of the world. Property was easy to find. When we arrived in the early afternoon all the windows were open and the house was quite warm. We closed everything and turned the air on. At first we weren’t sure if it was working and I had to walk outside to see if the unit was running-it was. It took about 20ish minutes to cool the house. In the early morning the trade winds are cooler and was lovely to have the windows open. There are absolutely no cooking staples- just salt, pepper, sugar and there was about 1/4 cup of oil. We have been to other rentals that spice cabinets and basics are more well stocked. So my husband drove back to Lihue to do a Costco run. The kitchen was decently stocked with cooking equipment. The green belt is right outside the door with walking paths. The Hyatt and beach is about a five minute walk which was nice! We had wished the Hyatt was allowing non guests to purchase day passes to use their pool, but due to Covid they were not. The pool associated with this VRBO was not close. It was a 10-15 minute walk and when we went to check it out the first day it was small and crowded so we never used it… Also it seems as though we walked by 4 other pools on the way there. Not sure why the pool associated with this property is so far. The garage was well stocked with beach equipment- sand toys, chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, coolers, etc..
We appreciated the closet FULL of toys for my girls and books galore for all ages and interests throughout the entire house! There are two full baths one in the master bedroom and one between the two bedrooms. A word of warning- both bathrooms have very deep jacuzzi tubs and could be dangerous for older and younger folks to get in and out of. We enjoyed having a private yard to sit and relax in- the neighbors were very kind and friendly! I appreciated the tub in the laundry area full of leftover sunscreen etc from previous visitors! Came in handy! All in all we enjoyed our time here and would come back! Thank you for opening your home to us for a very restful week!

We enjoyed our stay at this home in Poipu, with space for our family of 5 to spread out and relax. We enjoyed being able to take walks to restaurants/coffee/scenic beaches. The pool unfortunately was not close and was quite crowded so we didn’t make much use of it. The house was clean and well organized and equipped. It’s a slightly older property but well maintained. Picking up and dropping off keys from a rental office near the airport was not the most convenient but not a big deal.

Beautiful house and perfect location. Short walk on a green belt to good body boarding and body surfing beaches. Great jogging path in both directions from house. Boogie boards, wagon and beach chairs in garage.
