Only complaint is the house wasn't ready at 4:00 when promised for check in. After a long flight with kids and a three-hour time change killing time for the 4:00 check in then having to wait another two hours to get into the house wasn't a great start to our vacation. The house perfect for our large group, great location. Beautiful house, great pool. Plenty of room for everyone. Had a great time!

Highlights of the property were the pool, the privacy, the location, the open airy feeling, the air conditioned bedrooms, and the great second floor lanais. The house accommodated our party of nine with plenty of space to spare. The pool was well kept and a big hit for everyone after a day of exploring or back from the beach. Boogie boards were provided and were used daily with just a short jaunt down to the beach. Mornings and evenings started and ended with taking in the view and relaxing on the second floor lanai. Overall, everything about the house worked out perfectly for us with no complaints from anyone in our party.
Check-in was straight forward and the management service personnel were easy to get a hold of and quickly responded to my questions.

We were a party of 6 family members and friends eager to stay close to the beaches of Poipu. The house was ideal for our group. By the end of our stay, the rental was everything we hoped it would be. When we arrived, there were several issues; it was almost as if they were not prepared for our arrival. The house was very neat and clean but the back door was wide open to a torn screen door. Two bedroom AC remotes were missing. The pool was dirty but cleaned the next morning. The TV remotes were in need of batteries. Our bedroom blind was completely torn off the header. The password provided for the WiFi was wrong and only resolved after we looked on the back of the router for the correct password which we conveyed to the property management. Each issue was addressed quickly by the caretakers with the exception of the blind which was ordered. Upon our departure, the house was nearly perfect so that we would recommend this beautiful home.

We were a family of ten celebrating a 70th birthday. We chose Alohilani because of the swimming pool-- with stairs and a basketball hoop!-- and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. We were not disappointed. It rained the first two days, so we were grateful for the swimming pool where lots of fun was had. We liked the layout of the upper floor: there were two bedrooms on each wing of the house so that parents and children could have bedrooms side by side. A bathroom was accessible for each wing--one with a main bathroom and the other with 2 ensuites. A long staircase led up to these rooms. Luckily even the 3 1/2 year old was able to manage by herself. Upstairs were three lanais which were not used much due to proximity to the upstairs rooms. We 'elders' had a huge bedroom on the main floor with shower and clawfoot tub and a sliding door onto the pool area. The furniture was scaled to large; at 5'1 I saw myself only from the nose up the entire vacation. No problem! The kitchen area was amazing. Lots of room for several adults to prepare and there were oodles of glasses, small plates, bowls, large plates and serving dishes. If you couldn't find it, you just had to keep looking; it was there. Beside the kitchen was a lovely coved area with a round table which looked out at the pool. We ate occasionally at the 10 person table at the front of the house. In the bins outside were many boogie boards and lots of goodies.

This house was a perfect setting for our family to enjoy a long overdue get together. Everyone enjoyed the privacy of their own bedroom while we shared cooking in the large, well equipt kitchen or BBQing on the gas grill outside. The common rooms were spacious enough for us all to be together yet there were balconies or other spots for books to be read or games to be played.
I would recommend that anyone walk the 15 minutes ( or drive ) to Shipwreck beach, as it was the one we enjoyed the most.
All in all the house was the perfect setting for our family. Everyone loved the time we spent there.

What a fantastic place to bring my family for thanksgiving. This is a lovely house on a fantastic property!
The beds were comfy, bathrooms and kitchens updated, and great AC in the bedrooms.
The neighborhood was quiet and very safe. I didn’t even hear roosters (unlike my last stay in poipu)
The kids loved the pool but too chilly for us adults, however the house belongs to the poipu athletic club which had an awesome pool and workout areas.
Just loved this place!!! Mahalo!

We had a great stay at Alohilani - Private 5 Bedroom Villa w/ Pool & 5 AIR CONDITIONED BEDROOMS. The check in was easy, the communication with the property manager was fast and friendly, and the home was perfect.
The pool was clean and enjoyable. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes and the things you need to cook your own meals. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the beds were too. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. This was a nice, central location with the tranquility of being far off the busy roads.
The internet speed was great for those that used it. The house was big enough for our 10 guests to visit but not feel crowded at all.
This is a great choice for your stay in Kauai !!

This house was perfect for our extended family of 7 - enough lounge chairs by the pool and pool/beach towels for everyone, quiet location within a 10 minute walk to Brennecke and Poipu Beach, well equipped kitchen and bbq for cooking our own meals, and air conditioned bedrooms for all. The two big containers of beach toys/chairs/snorkel equip/etc were great too. All in all very well equipped, clean and in the perfect location - just wonderful for us!

We really enjoyed the house and pool. There was plenty of space. The pool was great. The house lacked plastic storage with lids. We purchased and left them there—so the next group can use them. We bought some nice boogie boards and a smaller cooler—which we left. We would book this property again.

This was the perfect spot for our family vacation to Kauai. The home had everything we needed(we like to cook and had plenty of options for cooking.)We had a broken beach chair and Vicki responded right away with some new beach chairs. We loved that there was no AC in main rooms with fresh breezes flowing but glad bedrooms had AC. We used the pool every afternoon. Lots of chairs but some need replacement. We loved the location and the views of the ocean and a nice walk to either Brenneckes or Shipwreck beach. We had a wonderful time!

This house is absolutely wonderful! We were here for our 20th wedding anniversary and included our family. The house served us well with plenty of space, a beautiful pool, extras like beach equipment and beach towels. The kitchen is huge and very well stocked with plenty of cookware and dishes, even nice serving dishes. Our experience with Vicki as property manager has been fabulous! When we checked in, the cleaning crew had an emergency and was running behind. Vicki was very timely in notifying us of the delay and even let my daughter and her family come in while the cleaning crew finished. We noticed a few other minor issues such as no gas in the grill, a couple lounge chairs at the pool were damaged when we arrived and there was some damage to baseboards in the toilet closet also when we arrived. Vicki responded quickly each time!
Our only complaint is the cleaning overall. We understand the delay and didn’t mind that but one bed was left without sheets, there was hair in the shower drains, uncleaned counters in the kitchen, most of the bath towels still in the washing machine, and the downstairs floor was swept but quite dirty as if it hadn’t been mopped well.
Overall, we are very happy and would love to come again! We will definitely recommend this place!

We had a ball. The space is very comfortable . The kitchen well supplied and who doesn’t love a swimming pool that’s ready for you whenever. Even the wind on Kauai last week didn’t ruin the fun because the water was always there to play. We did not access the community center and would not have chosen to at that particular fee but others seem to like it.

We had a great vacation at this huge house. There was lots of room to roam around the house so it didn't seem cramped at all. Having so many bathrooms was really nice. The master bedroom/bathroom was enormous! It was wonderful to walk to the rocky shore between the beaches to catch the sunsets - so beautiful! We loved Brenneck's beach, the waves were fun and so close to the house. You can easily walk but we drove just cuz we always had tons of beach gear to bring and kiddos. Shipwreck beach was super fun too with the cliff jumping right there, a bit rocky though. Nice beach walk from the house to shipwreck beach. Would definitely visit Kauai again; we loved all the food trucks and the pie shop! This house rental had been fully booked all of January, so some of the housekeeping was a little lacking but nothing that would deter me from renting again. To the owners: I would recommend extending the pool deck around the back side of the pool. Not having it allowed a plethora of grass to get into the pool. My daughter made us a fresh key lime pit from the limes growing in the front yard! Can't get any better than that. LOVE KAUAI

The boogie boards were so much fun on Brennecke beach. Drinking our morning coffee on the lanai and being entertained by our friend, the common mynah bird was a wonderful way to start each day. The bedding, ceiling fans and well-stocked kitchen made our stay very comfortable so we could explore the island, come back exhausted and refresh with a good meal and comfortable sleeping beds. The 80 degree weather sure felt good, especially knowing that it was negative degrees that week in Colorado. Thanks for offering such a beautiful property for our family vacation.

This house was amazing. I honestly wish we would’ve stayed here for the whole trip. I have both big and little kids and it catered to both. Enough space for everyone. Walking distance to the beach.

This was a great place that had everything we needed and things we never thought of. The kitchen was huge and well stocked of all cooking needs. The pool was so relaxing. if the grown-ups wanted to visit, you could let the kids play and still keep an eye on them.
It was so very great to have a washing machine and dryer. It allowed us to pack much lighter and send everyone home with clean and pleasant smelling laundry.
The ability to walk to the beaches was amazing. We watch the sunsets and sunrises and went down to the beach to see the turtles every morning sunrise.
And having fans that we could pull into each room provided a breeze in the evening and white noise that helped cover the early rising roosters. (I loved the roosters but it did make the "tinies" wake up earlier than the adults would have liked. I laughed every time they started crowing in the morning. I thought it was great!)
would definitely rent again.

I booked the Alohilani home for a family vacation; it did not disappoint. The home is absolutely beautiful and clean. Perfect kitchen for cooking a big breakfast or dinners. The house comes stocked with everything you need from the kitchen, to the pool and the beach! Coolers, beach chairs, a wagon to help with your beautiful 10 min walk down to the beach and so much more. All the individual bedrooms have A/C units which do a great job of keeping those rooms cool. We absolutely loved our stay here and most certainly will be returning.

Alohilani was truly a great place to call 'home'. Our crew consisted of: 6 adults and 2 kids (1.5 & 4.5yo). Our favorite beach, by far, was Salt Park Beach - it was worth the 20-ish min drive. Alohilani was the perfect retreat - 5 great sized bedrooms (3 have attached bathrooms), quiet neighborhood & yard with a peek-a-boo ocean view. The pool was a huge hit with the entire family - priceless to have it all to ourselves. There were a few annoyances, however: the tv/internet was not working properly; the pool was cleaned on Wednesday and the lawn/yard on Thursday, left behind a TON of grass/rocks/debris floating in the pool for the remainder of our stay - tried to clean it but it was nearly impossible; there are sugar ants in the kitchen and no matter how hard we tried to keep clean they still crawled around, which meant everything had to be stored in the fridge, including cereal; can opener didn't work (small annoyance, but just a pain when you go to open an ingredient to your hungry child's dinner and it won't work). For us, there was one more BIG annoyance, there is only AC in 3 of the bedrooms: master with king, 2 twins bedroom, 1 queen bedroom. That meant that 2 of the upstairs rooms (1 queen and 1 king room) were *super* hot, even with the fan going. We couldn't open the windows for more air bc my 4.5yo was staying in the queen room and the window screens fall right out without much effort - too afraid she'd fall out. Overall, our stay was really wonderful: relaxing and fun! Alohilani is an amazing house and we would stay there again if they got AC in the remaining 2 bedrooms (seems like it costs enough that they would have that luxury in all bedrooms). Beautiful home - I do recommend staying here, just know there no place is truly perfect ???

Alohilani is a great house in an ideal Poipu location. The house is within walking distance of Poipu Beach, and there is a view of the ocean from the upper front lanai. The house is large, and easily accommodated our three families, a total of 10 people. We loved the large pool, and spent quite a bit of time in it. The kitchen is very well equipped, and everything we needed was included, including beach supplies. The house was spotless, and the rental managers were very helpful. There are several grocery stores in Koloa, a short distance from the house, and the Grand Hyatt hotel is within walking distance to the east. We highly recommend Alohilani to anyone seeking a larger house for up to 10 people.

The house was ideal for extended family , plenty of space in the common areas. With the upstairs card/game area, for us that became a quiet space for reading. The lower great room became a spot to enjoy more activity. Pool was a huge plus , well maintained , the extra pool and ocean toys were awesome. We had to rent nothing to make our stay wonderful. Location was excellent. Our favorite beach was the Poipu state park beach ,very close to the house. We drove to it, because we took snorkel and body boards along. Smith family luau is one of the best on all the islands, Na Pali Experience is the top excursion on Kauai. Small boat gave us the best experience possible. Swimming with turtles is awesome. Tubing at sugar plantation ,ATV ride on Kipu ranch excellent also. Costco kept our food costs reasonable . Local shopping is convient and fun, favorite restaurant was Brenneck's beach . Only 3 bedrooms have A/C . Wish all 5 had a/c. Kitchen was well supplied for large group. Excellent property . We truly enjoyed

The property was beautiful and we had plenty of room for 10 people to include three kids. The house has everything you need from plates, to towels, beach/pool toys, kitchen equipment, etc. The primary challenges we had were with the pool and the hot water heater. When we arrived there was no hot water in the house...not what you want after a long trip to the island. A technician did come the first night to look at the unit. The hot water heater is on a timer and it was not working properly. It would turn off at the appointed times but not come back on. Normally we'd discover this when trying to wash dishes, take a shower or give the kids a bath. We had to use the manual override switch repeatedly to turn the heater back on. When you're on vacation the last thing you should worry about is hot water. I don't understand why the heater just couldn't be on the whole time while it's rented. The swimming pool heater did not work the entire time we were at the property, which was a disappointment as the pool was a feature contributing to us choosing the property. The water was very cold. There were also several window screens missing. Two of the five bedrooms have no air conditioning which we found strange. Those two bedrooms are on the second floor and after being under the sun all day get pretty warm. The first couple days there was very little wind and we couldn't get the rooms cooled...and both bedrooms had a window screen missing. I can't understand why only three bedrooms have AC especially given how big and beautifully appointed the house is with amenities. The beach is not within walking distance especially for older adults or kids. However, the closest beach is a very short drive to a state beach/park with parking. Overall, I would rent this home again if I had a big group and was assured the maintenance items mentioned above were adequately addressed.

Overall, it was excellent. The house and property are beautiful. While not on the beach, we were aware of that, and it was a short drive or walk to the beach. Arrived late at night and had trouble finding and opening the lock box for the key. Seems to need servicing as it continued to be a problem. Home is beautifully furnished. Our Family consists of 6 adults and 3 young children, so the 5 BR 4.5 bath worked well. Pool was great even if a bit too cool for the children and very difficult to warm up. Pool ought to have been cleaned the day of our arrival as it took some work to get it swimmable. Hot water tank is on a timer which we weren't aware of for 2 days when we went without. Finally the service man set it so that we had adequate warm water. He was very pleasant and helpful. We had a most enjoyable stay at this property and would be happy to return.

We gathered as a family of 10 to enjoy a vacation in Kauai, with our children and grandchildren, ages 74 to 4. The Alohilani house was a wonderful space for us; enjoyable being at home with the spacious lawn, privacy and pool, as well as close to various beaches and shopping, and a convenient location for day trips around the island. We enjoyed cooking our meals in the well-equipped kitchen, and the convenience of doing our own laundry. Beds were very comfortable, beautiful furnishings! Management professional, helpful and friendly. Thanks to all for a week of wonderful memories in paradise.

Christine and Vicki were so kind to deal with. Greeted us with a bouquet of flowers and went above and beyond helping us make our stay enjoyable. It was our 40th Anniversary trip to the Garden Isle of Kauai with the entire family and grandchildren 10 total. There was so much room no one complained. The grandchildren not only enjoyed the pool and birds but also catching big frogs at night and releasing them. The house was clean and full of brightness and love. Thanks again to the Altman family for sharing your home with us. Mahalo. Meakes & Gagnon family. Till we come again Aloha

This house was incredible. Beautiful kitchen, great pool. Bedrooms were nice but two didn't have A/C. Easy walk to Poipu Beach. Very well maintained.

Enjoyed this home! Close to all the fun spots in Poipu and easy to travel to other places on Kaua'i from this location.. Spacious, clean, quiet neighborhood; 3 of the bedrooms had AC. The private pool was a hit with the kids and adults . Management was responsive to our needs, checked in on the first day and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall experience, great!

We enjoyed the pool and kitchen a lot. There were 4 children in our group , so it was perfect for them. I wish that there was central A/C.The neighborhood was noisy due to construction.

The property was exactly as shown and described online. The directions from the airport to the house were accurate and easy to follow. Everything in the house worked well. The walk to the beach was further than we expected but still doable, but we recommend driving. Nearby resturants and shops made the stay very comfortable.

This place is amazing and the location is pretty fabulous. It is a little bit of a walk (15 min) to Breneke's beach. My only complaint is that 2 of the bedrooms are without air conditioning which makes things slightly uncomfortable, but everything else is beyond great. Fully stocked kitchen, great floorplan, awesome bathrooms and bedrooms. Awesome yard and pool. You can't go wrong unless you pull the straw for the non-air-conditioned room ;)

This is a beautiful home with 5 A/C'ed bedrooms. An elegant home, nicely furnaced.Common areas are non A/C ,but bearable with opening windows and use of portable fans. Nice size yard ( a rarity in this area)for playing games and great pool and deck area. I would rate a 9 of 10 for this home!!

What a wonderful place. Our stay at Alohilani was everything we had hoped for. There were 12 of us. 9 adults and 3 grandchildren. The house is laid out very well and there is so much room. The big open yard and the pool were great for kids young and old to run around, swim and throw the football. The kitchen was great for cooking and sharing meals. The master bedroom and bathroom were spectacular. The pictures on this site do not begin to describe it in person. the beach towels and all the toys, mats, umbrella and boogie boards were great. Everyone was sad to leave and go home. If we ever make it back to Kauai, we will definitely come back to Alohilani! Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful home for our vacation!

Just home from an amazing Stay in this wonderful house, it is even better in person than it is in pictures. The upstairs layout is a little different than I expected (The king bed bedroom upstairs does not have an en-suite or AC but the twin beds bedroom does) but it still worked well for our large group. The beds are SUPER comfortable and the pool is the perfect temperature. This was my first time visiting Kauai, and after exploring the island, I am really glad we chose to stay in Poipu. Renting a house was the perfect way to go for our large group. We cooked most of our meals and swam in our own pool everyday. It was conveniently located to all of the excursions we did (Zip-lining, helicopter rides, Catamaran tour) with a 30-minute drive at most. We were also close enough to walk to shops and restaurants. The house is fully stocked with dishes and appliances including a coffee grinder, rice cooker, and even a crock pot. There are also beach towels and pool toys for everyone. Being able to use the washer/dryer was also a plus! If I had to complain about anything it would be that not all of the bedrooms had air conditioning. However, with the windows open the rooms were a comfortable temperature at night. Also the grill is a little quirky and we had difficulty getting it hot enough to cook our food, but the property manager sent someone right away who fixed it. I would definitely recommend this house and/or renting a property from Poipu 365 to anyone. They really made us feel like royalty.

We spent 10 days in the Alohilani and it was great. House was huge and exactly like the pictures and descriptions. Close to the beach and even had plenty of extras not mentioned such as beach and pool toys, boogie boards, and a wagon, just to name a few. Kitchen was excellent with a huge gas range, and plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans. A screen was blown out on an unreachable window and someone was there the next day to replace it while we weren’t even home. The town of Poipu was family friendly and there is a beach trail just 2 minutes from the front door. We went surfing, snorkeling, body surfing, boogie boarding, zip lining, visited the canyon and attended a luau. You will want to rent a car(s) to get around, shopping and local restaurants are just a short drive away. We rented one car using turro, worked great. Vicki and the crew from Poipu 365 were easy to work with, answered all our questions and the lock box on the house made for contactless entry. Hope to do it again someday.

This house has everything for a large family: comfort … space … convenience to beaches (a short & beautiful 10 minute walk) … a large kitchen & great patio out by the pool for dinner & relaxing in the evening … a great location on a large piece of property sitting high on a hill off by itself. Wonderful place from which to explore Kauai & the surrounding area. Great coastal 5-6 mile coastal hike right down the road.

The house was just perfect. It was fantastic and we can’t wait to stay there again. We loved everything about it. Got to see the whales and dolphins and turtles and seals within a few minutes walking distance. Lovely.

We only stayed 3 nights, as we moved on to the north shore for a week, but we loved every minute at Alohilani! Appreciated not having to book a 7 night minimum. Communication was detailed and early. House is so spacious and beautiful. We didn't plan on cooking, but the amazing kitchen changed our minds. Location was ideal for us -- scenic 10 minute walk to beach perfect for our surfers and to catch sunrises. We enjoyed snorkeling at Poipu beach, renting from the surf shop, dinner at Brennecke's, lunch from Puka Dog, yoga on our balcony, seeing monk seals and turtles, and spear fishing with Kalani. Highly recommend!

Last year we decided Thanksgiving 2021 in Kauai sounded splendid! I searched for our family of seven adults and two babies and this beautiful home fit our needs perfectly!
We’re a tennis family and it even included a nearby tennis + fitness club membership for the week! The home was spotless and the photos don’t do it justice! It’s beautiful, tastefully decorated with touches of whimsy and the kitchen was very well-stocked. We spent time lounging by and splashing in the inviting pool, it was wonderful. The grounds are lush and well manicured - we even had a beautiful catered picnic! All of the rooms are air conditioned so we slept comfortably. Ceiling fans and open screened windows created a welcome breeze in other spaces.
Even with clean counters and floors we did spy a troop of tiny ants so be aware - and contact Mgmt if you have issues. Both Cher and Vicki were very welcoming.
We can’t wait to go back!

We loved this property for our family gathering of 12 people. The kids loved the pool! There are fun pool toys and there was plenty of deck seating for the adults. We also appreciated the beach toys and equipment. The kitchen is well stocked and the floor plan worked well for meals and gatherings. The large bedrooms gave everyone plenty of private space. Having both yard space and privacy is also a plus for this area.

Perfect stay for my party of 9. The house is impressive, huge and had every amenity from beach towels to office supplies. We cooked meals in the gigantic kitchen and on the bbq. Spent some time in the pool, were able to walk down to the beach and just had the best time!

Close to everything and had all we needed for our trip. The kids loved the pool and we had a fantastic time in the area. Lots of roosters and chickens in the surrounding area and reflected in the decor. Very charming!

Our family celebrated our "patriarch's" 75th birthday during our stay. We made good use of the backyard barbecue and loved having the dining table for all of us to sit down to dinner. The pool was lovely with ample seating as well. It was the first time we'd all gotten together for almost 2 years. We will certainly remember this home if we are lucky enough to return to Kauai in the future.

We rent a home every year for two weeks so the entire family can get together. This year we decided to go to Kauai and found this excellent home. The descriptions do not entirely do it justice. It is better than described, and for our family of multiple generations, perfectly located on the island. The pool is exceptional, the grass and landscaping around the home are beautiful, the kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms have AC for those humid days and nights. The various lanai's are great for relaxing and the upstairs Lanai in the front of the home has a view of the ocean . Our rental came with a two-week membership to the Poip'u Athletic Club and that place is great! The young kids could toddle around on the sandy beach area and there was a water slide for the older kids. In addition, there was pool-side service for drinks and food. Simply awesome! We found this home to be so well stocked that it saved us an initial trip to buy essentials. So many basic necessities such as garbage can liners, T.P, paper towels, laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, etc. were already stocked. There were also many other items that helped make this home so pleasant - like beach towels, boogie boards, beach and pool toys, etc. We were just wowed by the host's hospitality and efforts to make this an easy vacation for us! You cannot go wrong renting this beauty!
