The photos of this spacious retreat-like home do not do it justice! We had 12 adults throughout our 2 week stay and had room to be together and spaces to spread out. The home was very clean with high quality furniture and lovely art. The lush gardens and house design made it very peaceful and private. We will definitely return to this home on our next Kauai visit.

We had a wonderful time at this property with 3 generations under one roof. The location is perfect and everything you could possibly need was already there. We all highly recommend.

This house was perfect for our family of 12! We found it to be a perfect home base for our adventures. There was room for all of us to be together, but we also had space of our own and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. The icing on the cake was the pool. It was great! Just the right size for all of us to be able to enjoy. We spent many hours hanging out at the pool. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone coming to Kauai!

The pictures don't capture the full beauty of this place!
The property is simply incredible, a private oasis, so beautifully landscaped and maintained, and with plenty of space for our large group of 12 family members to share without any issue.
We were there for my daughter's wedding and were able to get some of the best photos of the wedding party right in the back yard of this property.
The check-in and check-out was very simple and the property owners are so friendly and accommodating.
This really feels like a home away from home - with all of the perks, views, and a very short walk to the beach.
This place has everything needed to enjoy a fantastic holiday for visitors of all ages.
Thanks to Dan and Lynette for sharing this amazing space, and to Dave for providing us with a wonderful check in experience.
We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Kauai!

This was a fantastic property to stay at for our family. The location and accessibility to the beaches while still enjoying a private pool made this trip great for both parents and kids.
It is worth noting that there is great air conditioning in each of the bedrooms and no air conditioning in the main gathering space (kitchen, living and dining room). This area has electric fans.
The pool and hot tub were so great! They were well maintained and offered a great space to relax and play!

INCREDIBLE! Dan is by far the best VRBO host that we have encountered! His communication is quick and reliable. Dealing with Dan felt like we were dealing with an old friend. The property, from the house to the pool and gardens, is absolutely stunning! There was plenty of room for the ten of us (8 adults and 2 children). We never felt like we were cramped or like there was a lack of privacy. The common areas are large and comfortable. Well appointed kitchen with plenty of spices available for cooking. Outdoor Weber BBQ for grilling. The pool was so awesome that we nearly forgot that the beach was only 4 minutes away! We would definitely stay here again, feels like home!

This is a beautiful private enclave in an amazing location. The home has two apartment areas, one has 3 bedrooms and then the second basement unit has a bedroom terrace that can be made into two rooms. With an additional cabana there is plenty of room for privacy and at the same time it is easy to have together time in the many areas around the property.
We loved using the second floor patio that had views of the ocean for coffee in the morning and beautiful dinners in the evening. The pool area has three different areas to relax and enjoy the lush landscape and hot tub. So nice to have one of the most beautiful homes to come back to play and relax.
The hosts are very responsive and want to provide the best experience. A short walk to shipwreck beach, and hikes along the shore make this a gem. Enjoy!

We wanted to have room for friends and family to celebrate our wedding. This house is relaxing and the landscaping was amazing. Location is great for walking and close enough to walk to shops etc. Loved it! Dan was fantastic!

The house set-up was perfect for our group (family with kids and two sets of grandparents). The backyard pool is really beautiful, and we loved the hot tub on cooler evenings. We also enjoyed many meals on the outdoor deck. The location is great too - easy walk to Poipu Beach and very convenient location for exploring nearby. Highly recommend!

Let me start with saying that the pictures do not compare to being there. If you think the pictures are great, be prepared to be stunned when you walk onto the property. Dan was great at answering questions prior to us even getting there. He met us at the house and gave us a walking tour. Sorry Dan, put it was hard to pay attention to what you were saying while being impressed by the views and the house. Every time he showed us something else it was like, "Wow". Dan checked in on us by text to make sure we did not need anything.
The separate Bungalow was perfect for our daughter and her fiancé. The master bedroom was great for us since it is the only bedroom on the top floor. Our son and his family used the pool suite and was perfect for them. We did not even use the other 2 bedrooms.
There are 3 separate showers outside to was off sand. The hot tub is nice and secluded and the kids loved the pool. One of my favorite parts of the house was the balcony in the mornings. I would stand and look at the ocean while drinking my coffee and listen to the birds. It was very relaxing and a pleasant way to take my mind off of work and life.
My recommendation, is at night, stand on the balcony, turn off the lights and look up at all of the stars.
Overall, I highly recommend this house. I ran out of space to review and had to edit this to make it fit. Dan is great at making sure your stay is what you want and took care of us!
You won't be disappointed staying here.

The house was very clean and well-organized. The floorplan and outdoor area were excellent and worked well for our family. The location was perfect. We could walk to several beaches and it was close to a grocery store and downtown shops. Communication was great. The owner was always available and responsive.
January 2024
This lovely house sits surrounded by lush vegetation that is obviously lovingly cared for. We felt like we were on a private tropical island! The house and pool are lovely. Dan is very easy to communicate with, and gave us a very thorough walk thru. We truly enjoyed our stay and this property made us very comfortable on the beautiful island of Kauai. We especially enjoyed the morning walks to the cliffs by the grand Hyatt property.

January 2024
Beautiful, well loved home and property. Great for our large group. We could even see the ocean from a spot on the balcony! We were able to make cooking our dinners work with the kitchen supplies in hand. Dan was very fast to respond and correct the (very few) issues we had.

We rented this home for our family vacation; the layout was perfect for us!! The location was ideal.
The pool was very refreshing and the tropical landscaping reminded us of Key West. The hot tub was great after a day of walking.

Excellent, great for our family ranging in age from 2-81. Property ambience...very very Hawaiian. Perfect pool. Will recommend to friends. Dan was immediately responsive to our needs. We knew it would be great when we first met Dan. He said you're here to have fun, with no worries, just enjoy the property.

I’m a retired teacher from Colorado who planned to rendezvous with a cousin and his wife from Australia
to celebrate our 80th birthdays. When other relatives heard of our party plans several were motivated to join the fun. There were 13 individuals who joined the celebration in Kauai so we needed a second home. 7 relatives stayed here at this lovely property which was a short walk to the beach. I thought this an excellent location from which to explore the island. We were constantly on the go, and the time seemed to pass much too quickly. We all had a fabulous time. The home, grounds, pool, and amenities were all first class. I really enjoyed the vegetation surrounding the home. It felt like I was living in a botanical garden.
The proprietor's were very responsive to all our questions.
I highly recommend this island home to friends and relatives.

I could not imagine a more perfect setting for our family getaway!
It was our own private resort , with plenty of room and privacy for 7 adults, plus great kitchen and gathering space for our meals and together time. Surrounded by lush gardens, pool and spa. Dan is a wonderful host, friendly, helpful and very available for help and suggestions.
We are already dreaming about a return trip.

This is the most beautiful spot we've ever had the pleasure of staying at! The home was so inviting, the pool and outside gardens were gorgeous and gave the feeling we were the only ones on the island. The layout of the house was perfect for our family group of 11. We took our children/spouses and 5 grandchildren (9-14) to our favorite island to see why we love it so. The home was spread out well and accommodated 3 families easily with the separate bungalow for us grandparents. The kitchen was well stocked, Pool and beach toys/chairs, snorkeling gear were all used and appreciated. Kids loved the 3 outdoor showers too - so convenient for getting the sand off. Dan was a terrific host right from the beginning with quick turnaround on questions and assistance. He helped us with small questions several times during our stay - like how to clean the pool filter after "the Maui firestorm" winds which deposited debris in the pool. Location was great with close proximity to Shipwreck and Poipu Beach. Kids loved seeing 7 turtles at one time sunning on Poipu Beach. Pictures and video of this property are so true - everything was beautiful and relaxing for everyone. For over 20 years we have stayed at many great VRBO properties across the US, and this by far exceeds any others. Sorry to tell you how spectacular this property is! We had to book 1-1/2 years ahead to get when we wanted-and now it will be even harder for us to get an open date to revisit! Can't wait to return!

Excellent property with beautiful grounds and outstanding amenities. Plenty of room to spread out, great pool and very close to the beach!

This wonderful rental provided more than adequate space for 3 families; a total of 9 people. The furniture was attractive and comfortable with more than enough seating for everyone in common areas. Everything was clean and in good condition. The WiFi was able to handle all guests simultaneously without any glitches. The view from the upper deck afforded a peek at the ocean. This location was a favorite group gathering place for most of our stay.
The property's location has excellent access to many restaurants and shopping.
The garden area was awesome with many small areas that provided seclusion from other areas of the garden. All areas were landscaped with beautiful flowers and foliage.
My grandchildren especially enjoyed the pool.
The air conditioning in each bedroom quickly cooled the room and maintained the selected temperature.
Dan greeted us when we arrived and provided a quick tour of the property with advise on the functionality of some of the appliances. He was genuinely friendly and interested in making our stay enjoyable.
My entire family had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this rental property.

June 2023
We had read reviews regarding this property and thought they were too good to be true, but our week here was off the charts. The top three features in my opinion: [1] the outdoor area is almost impossible to describe (the pictures on the website don't do it justice), [2] the location is superb, short walk to the beach and the Grand Hyatt, and [3] Dan and Lynette are readily available to solve any minor issues that may arise. The ocean view is minimal, but we probably spent way more time on the property than we would have imagined because the on-site scenery is hard to leave. This was truly a week that we will never forget.

We called this our Legacy Trip. Entire family of 10 covering 3 generations. We relaxed within 30 minutes and kept that vibe the entire stay. Beyond beautiful, a piece of paradise. So much fun and memories created. Each night at dinner we would share what our favorite thing of the day was and on the last day our all time favorite. Being together on this gorgeous property, talking, laughing and feeling like we were on our own private resort was everyone’s all time favorite - toddler, teens and adults. Thank you Tony for your welcome and quick response to any questions we had. A big Maholo
May 2023
This house is amazing!! It is beautiful, with incredible landscaping, pool, hottub, and lots of room for my large family. The host was more than responsive, making me feel more like a family member than a guest. Staying in this house was, in itself, a vacation.

The house was perfect. We had a 3 year old with adults ranging in age from 41 to 77. For our family it was great. Our son is a chef so we spent nights in cooking with the kitchen perfectly outfitted for cooking/barbequeing. the pool and jacuzzi were clean and functional and the yard area was a showplace! The walk to the beach was a must every morning with the little one. Hikes along the beach trail short drives to other beaches, restaurants etc. The house is great, the owner's are great - absolutely perfect.

We are 3 couples, friends for 20 years over 60. This home is spectacular! Clean, perfect location and ample beds, areas to gather and supplies like towels and kitchen stuff. But the most wonderful part of this whole experience was the owner and his godson Tony. So kind, generous and welcoming. Always checking on us offering assistance to help to make our stay better. Hope to be back again. They are fantastic, the house and property are beautiful! Recommend highly!

We took a 4 family multi-generational trip to Kauai with 8 adults and 5 children the youngest being 9 months. The house was more than perfect giving every family their own space. The pool, spa and garden felt like you were staying at a tropical lagoon. The house was well stocked with essentials. We loved it! Dan is quite the gardener; make sure you check out the banana tree. Thank you Dan and Lynette for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We booked our stay one year ahead of going. We had no idea of what the house would be like except looking at the photos online. Of course I looked multiple times, trying to get a idea of how this would work out with 12 plus one infant.
We arrived and Dan greeted us with a giant smile! Right away I knew we had booked the perfect spot. Usually pictures can deceive by people using fish eye lenses to make the spaces look bigger! This wasn't the case here. Every part of this house was perfect.
Having such a large group...this includes adult siblings, we weren't sure about how people would be able to "have their space". We spread out everywhere. The pool is big and inviting. We lounged around watching the grandkids swim while others could watch from the above deck looking down. As grandparents, we stayed in the lower bedroom. This allowed the littlest one and the parents to have the ability to wake up early and come visit us. They stayed in the pool house where it was easy to contain late night crying and nap time.
One of the best surprises was walking to the beach and having that giant expanse of green space to play frisbee, watch sunsets and basically run off energy.
Poipu is also such a wonderful location to run to Living Foods for a healthy dinner, grab a puka dog at Brenneckes, Lamberts for ice cream and safe swimming at Poipu beach.
Thank you Dan for everything!

Very spacious and clean. And then there is the pool and yard!! Wow!! Absolutely beautifully landscaped! Your very own tropical garden!
Dan was wonderful to work with! Extremely kind and easy going. We loved our stay and are hoping to return someday! Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to experience such a great home!

We had such a lovely time. The house is better than pictured! Close to wonderful beaches for swimming, snorkeling, body surfing and castle building. Great location for hikes and exploring the south end of the island. The house was well appointed with everything we needed to cook, relax and play at the beach or pool. We will definitely be coming back.

Perfect location and amazing outdoor space. Walking to Poipu beach (.8 mi) and the Hyatt (next door) was so easy. We enjoyed the upstairs deck for coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening. The beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with MANY essentials - check it out before shopping (especially for seasonings/oils). A little different/odd since 2 bedrooms you have to go outside and downstairs and all the living space/kitchen is upstairs (used to be a B&B) but it was great for our party of 4 couples. The pool area was amazing! Seriously AMAZING. Also we had a couple of hiccups that Dan handled swiftly and thoroughly. All in all SUPER communication with Dan!! We had a private chef come one night and a masseuse come one day. Great space for both those things. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Dan and Lynette's home is beautiful, plenty of room for a large family. We especially enjoyed the large deck off the living room/kithchen area.

I could go on and on, but I will keep this short! All met and exceeded our expectations! Working with the owner, Dan was such a pleasure! We had a great experience and hope to return someday to this exquisite home on this most Beautiful Island!

We were a group of 10. My wife and I had stayed in the cottage when it was a B&B and had loved the place. When it was converted to a rental for 10 we knew that we had just the group. The grounds are amazing with a resort-like garden surrounding the pool. The house is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating areas so that even with a large group, it never felt crowded. It even has two sets of laundry equipment to make washing easy for all. It couldn't have been a better getaway. We're looking forward to doing it again.

When you stay somewhere that love has been poured into, you feel it the moment you stop into the property, This is what Dan’s place is~ loaded with charm and local flavor in materials and finishes. The glass surrounding the upper floor allowed for a tropical paradise view and cross breeze. So many outdoor places to socialize or find your own corner. We loved it all…the pool was perfect ; feels like a home away from home and many can stay. Location is ideal as Shipwreck beach is our favorite and the Hyatt is wonderful for a coctail right on the ocean if desired We all Enjoyed meeting you Dan!! Thanks for sharing this wonderland of a property and we hope to be back one day!

Everything was perfect - starting from Dan welcoming us up to the time we had to leave again. We stayed with 3 generations of our family from four different countries and everyone loved it. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. We found all we needed and everything is very well maintained. Some of the lasting memories are the short evening strolls to the beach, seeing the sunset and watching the turtles coming up on the sand for a nap.

Was like staying at our own private spa. Such tranquility! Our large family had an amazing stay. Swam in the pool everyday. Used the hot tub. Cooked meals every night. Walked to Shipwreck Beach. Walked to Poipu Beach Park. Loved hiking the Manaulepo trail. Neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. But house feels incredibly private. Dan was awesome! Very responsive and always available to answer questions. It’s clear the owners have put a lot of work into this house. Would 100% recommend!!!

We had such a wonderful time staying here. Dan was very welcoming and very helpful. The house is very comfortable for a large family gathering. The gardens surrounding the house are gorgeous, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a garden oasis. We got to watch the coconut trees get trimmed up, which was pretty cool. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and lots of spices. I would check the kitchen before you go out shopping for something. We loved the fact that that the Hyatt is next door and took advantage of their restaurants and spa. The pool at the house was a great place to relax. All in all, it was an amazing vacation and this lovely home played a big part in it. Thanks so much!

Nice house, but some issues need to be addressed. 1. Bungalow had no hot water for two days, because propane tank was empty and was not checked before we got there. (Nothing in renters book about it.) Smoke detectors have been removed from house. 3. Herbie the pool vacuum didn't work very well, always something on bottom of pool .Pump/filter did not clean surface. Someone came to try to adjust it, but still had leaves/flower petals on surface. 4. A coffee maker in the pool master suite would have been nice. 5. Only one tube and a few noodles for the pool--with 8 of us, we had to go out and buy some.

This property is very beautiful! The landscaping makes you feel like you are in your own private oasis, with lush plants and trees all around. The pool and hot tub are well-kept and there is plenty of seating with comfortable lounge chairs. The house is laid out so that a group can be together for meals and socializing, while at the same time providing private spaces for downtime. We were a group of 7 people and we had a wonderful time! Dan is a great host and a very kind person. We would stay at this property again.

This home is beyond! The photos are beautiful and still somehow don't do justice to the real thing. It was like living in a paradise within paradise. Dan and Lynette provided everything we could possibly want or need to help make our stay and vacation memorable. Dan and family friend Kevin made us feel so welcome and responded to communications so quickly! They were such gracious hosts. We would absolutely love to stay here again if we're ever back in Kauai!

Heaven on Earth!!! That sums up this property and this island. Dan is one of the most generous and authentic people I have met. He absolutely emulates the Aloha Spirit. We were a family ranging from 7-68 years old. This property makes you feel like you are staying in a botanical garden. The yard is absolutely magical. It's so secluded and private and yet within walking distance to the ocean. This trip has been a long time coming filled with lots of emotions and with Dan's help and beautiful rental, we had a perfect trip. Dreaming about the day we can all return together and we will absolutely be coming to see Dan at Poipu Bay Getaway again. Mahalo Dan and Lynette. We were blessed to get to meet you.

We hated to leave. We’ve stayed in many VRBO homes but this home hit nearly all our buttons.

We hope to return soon!

I have to start with Dan. What a gem of a human! From start to finish he was a dream to work with…and our crew had postponed dates due to Covid, airline date changes and Dan was more than accommodating, he was caring, friendly, easy to reach and talk to, and sincerely generous. While on our stay we lucked out and got to meet several family members as well who no doubt got the family gene. All as friendly and warm as could be! Dan welcomed us and even allowed us to drop baggage off early. He gave us a tour to explain everything and the part that stood out most he said, “This is your vacation so I want you to relax and enjoy everything, anything else you need just call Uncle Dan.” We felt spoiled and taken care of. Now, on to the house…. It was more gorgeous than pictures represent. Lush gardens, tropical breezes, wonderful spa and pool, every amenity was thought of and provided. We stayed with 3 generations of our family (ages 4 to 71) and every single person LOVED it! Our trip was unbelievably dreamy and we came home and set a plan to eventual move there one day. Now of only we could find a house as amazing as this one… that would be heaven.

If I could give Dan and his house 10 stars I would. Dan goes above and beyond, he is delightfully welcoming to this slice of Paradise. Our group of 6 (3 pairs of mothers and daughters) had plenty of room to spread out and relax in and out of the house. The kitchen was well equipped and the living spaces were exceptionally comfortable and cozy. The pool and garden were stunningly gorgeous. In fact we spent almost our entire last day relaxing around the pool. This house was a perfect place to spend our last 2 days before departing Kauai. We would definitely stay again, but longer!

The house and yard are beautiful. Very comfortable and accommodating to groups or young families. The kids loved the pool. Ample lounge seating and outdoor space. Hot tub was also a nice addition. House is an easy walk to the beach and trail. Super close to all the great snorkeling spots, and easy location to travel west or east to explore more of the island. We will definitely come back!

Bayview is one of the most beautifully landscaped yards I have ever seen. The property is close to anything that you could possibly want to do or see yet you feel like you are on your own private island. The house itself is set up just right to vacation with family, allowing enough space for everyone to be together as a group yet has private areas for more personal time if needed. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property for your vacation in Kauai. Thanks Dan for being such a great host!

After 3 Covid-caused delays we were finally able to make it to Kauai and our stay at this property. Believe me, it was worth the wait. The house is beautiful, well-appointed and comfortable. The pool and grounds are incredible. And the location is perfect. We loved our early morning wals to the beach and being so close to Poipu - the perfect place for swimming, snorkeling for the kids and watching the turtles come in for the night. I received lots of accolades for reserving this house for our extended family vacation. Hope we have an opportunity to return!

Our extended family of 12 had a wonderful time at this tropical paradise, from the lush, beautiful gardens and crystal-clear pool to the lovely accommodations that felt like we had our own private resort! The separate living spaces included a detached ohana that was adorable and a lower level “apartment” allowing for lots of privacy for our large family. We also loved the location, as we could walk right off the property with only a short distance to a number of beautiful beaches, hiking trails, restaurants, etc. Our host, Uncle Dan, was amazing and was readily available if needed. Needless to say, we were all very sad to leave such a wonderful place and dream of coming back someday! Mahalo 😊

This was an awesome home in a great area-- Especially wonderful was the attentiveness and true caring of Dan from beginning to end. Nothing was left to chance and he personally took care of things from the initial phone calls 2 years ago to bringing paper towels over during our stay.-- Very rare to get that kind of service. It is better than what you see in the listing-- For our family-- 4 sons and their wives and kids-- we could not have had a better place to stay on a wonderful island!!!

Perfect place for walking along beaches and some nice places to eat and drink. Shopping and sight seeing all close by. Host gives you great places to check out. House has everything you need.😃

We needed a place for just one night before our flight… so thankful we found this home available! The pool and hot tub were a perfect end to the day, while listening to the luau next door. Perfect location, so close to Poipu, and a short walk to the Hyatt where we watched a gorgeous sunrise and enjoyed their buffet breakfast before our departure. Dan was so friendly, kind, and extra-accommodating. Hopeful to return and stay at his fantastic home again, for more than one day!

Excellent location and setup for a family. Very short walk to shipwreck beach (great for even the smallest of kids) and a short drive to other beaches. Many shops and restaurants close as well. The house itself is perfect for a family group. Owner was super helpful and offered to be available for anything we need but we didn’t need anything! House was literally perfect.

This amazing property was the most beautiful of any at which we have ever vacationed. The grounds are full of tropical greenery and flowers and it was so lovely to relax by the pool and enjoy the hot tub in the gardens. The house is gorgeous and looks just like a Hawaiian home should look, with natural stone and wood and views all around of the foliage. The location was perfect for us, with a short walk to a beach where we saw a monk seal and hiked on the cliffs. A 5 minute drive to Poipu Beach brought us to a perfectly calm and shallow area for the littlest kids and snorkeling for the older kids and adults. Good shopping is nearby and the road up to the canyon was very handy. Dan was there whenever we needed anything and is a fun relaxed host. We are telling all our friends about our stay and enthusiastically recommending they come here with their families. We hope we can all come again soon. Laura E.

This was a wonderful place to stay. As has been mentioned, the grounds are amazing and inspiring. Dan was very responsive/communicative ahead of and during our visit. The pool was outstanding. It was a very short drive to Poipu, with some of the best snorkeling I've experienced. Also, Shipwreck's beach was a short walk, and the swimming and underwater sea life there was fantastic too--though the ocean was a bit too rough there for the kids to play in. It was overall a refreshing and amazing vacation!

We had a great time at this property. Lots of room for our family of 11. We loved being able to walk to the beach. The kids loved being able to jump in the pool at all times of the day. So many lovely outdoor seating areas for everyone. Would highly recommend this property!

From the 3 year old to the 70 year old and all persons in between felt this property could not be improved on. The house was perfect for little ones, the pool gun for the 8 and 10 year old. Close to the beach, hiking and the Grand Hyatt if you get the urge gor Shaved Ice. We all loved it

This property was really amazing. I highly recommend it for all types of trips from business to leisure. Our trip was family and the property is spacious enough that no one felt as though there was a lack of privacy even though together for an entire week. The pool is large and refreshing with a jazucci that is quite intimate. Multiple seating areas for relaxing and dining. I echo other reviewers and would suggest not buying spices or alcohol until you've seen what is in the pantry. I slept in the pool room which is essentially a 2 bedroom casita. It is perfect for solo like me or a family with baby that want some privacy from the main house. All of the living quarters were quite lovely. There is nice original art throughout the house. The owners were extremely friendly and accessible. Their neighbor let us in as they were out of town but they were still readily available. Mother Nature awakens you in the morning. Its really hard to describe. Book the property and you will see. I plan on coming back. The street is on a private road that felt very safe. For what to do: It was hard to leave the house and we were there during early November but I do recommend reservations at Stevenson's at the hotel which is a 5 minute walk away and has lovely grounds to grab a drink or lunch if you dont want to cook. I also recommend the plantation luau and free rum tasting near there. For the rum tasting you have to show up when they open to place your name for later that day btw. We drove to Waimea Canyon and explored small towns. Most of the time we relaxed after perhaps one outing in the morning. I went zip lining. (this was just okay) but highly recommend a kayaking trip to the "secret" waterfall.

We have stayed at many rental properties over the years, but this property stands out head and shoulders above the rest. There were 12 of us staying at the property, and we had a marvelous time. The quality of the house and garden (a tropical paradise) were just outstanding, and Dan (the owner, property manager and pool maintenance technician) was just the perfect host. I could not recommend this more as a top quality vacation rental, except to say that it made our 50th wedding anniversary celebrations complete. Thank you Dan.

We had a large group 5 teenage girls 2, 9 year olds , 3 couples , a toddler and infant . Perfect and good separation of space . The teens occupied the terrace suite it was perfect for them . One downstairs room occupied by two 9 year olds was perfect and the other larger bedroom occupied by the family with toddler and infant gave them the space they needed. The bungalow gave a couple a great experience as it was their first time to the island .. actually all guests except 2 were first time visitors and this home made it so tropical! The pool is absolutely fabulous!! Large and deep which made it fun for everyone !
If you a chance to get on the calendar… don’t hesitate . With covid it took us two years to get to enjoy the home and before that I looked at renting this home but it was always booked !!
If you get lucky to book this home you will also experience very gracious hosts ! Dan and Lynette really care about your experience.
Don’t hesitate you found the perfect slice of paradise !

Absolutely loved this place. The host was very accommodating and communicative. The house was clean and well stocked and the yard/pool/hot tub is fabulous in addition to close beach access. The bedrooms and layout was perfect for five couples, especially with two having separate entrances and additional privacy. Would highly recommend this place and would return!

We had two families (12 of us)-all children in their 20’s. There were plenty of areas to hang out and not be on top of one another or feel cramped. Pool/hot tub was amazing. Close walk to beach and longer walk to Poipu beach where you can get a snack or have happy hour. Dan was an amazing host and was available for anything we needed. There were plenty of bathroom and cleaning/laundry supplies on hand which was very helpful. Two refrigerators were necessary and nice to have. The extra cabana house was great for our newlyweds.

Dan is an amazing host and the photos do not do the property justice. It is in a perfect location with amazing grounds. You could not ask for more.

Great property! The pictures do not do it justice. Great location - close to the beach. The gorgeous landscaping provided privacy with lots of seating areas both by the pool and in the shade. ..beautiful oasis with serene surroundings! You can stay here and enjoy the backyard without going anywhere else on the island. We had 7 adults and 3 kids. Each had their own private sleeping areas. The kitchen was fully stocked with all you need to do your cooking. The view from the living room is fantastic. The patio area has a view of the ocean as well as the downstairs backyard. If you are looking for a great place to stay this is it! Look no further! Dan was responsive to all our questions, was easy to reach and checked in on us several times. A great host! Were sad to leave; hope we get a chance to return one day. Highly recommend Bayview!

We were supposed to celebrate our 50th anniversary last year, but Covid postponed things. With Dan's help we were able to schedule for this year. The ten of us just returned home after a wonderful week on Dan and Lynette's property. The house is great with enough bedrooms and baths for our large group. The kitchen-great room area with an ocean view balcony was perfect for cooking, playing games and listening to our 9yr old grandson give concerts on his ukulele.
The backyard is your personal piece of paradise. Beautiful pool and enough nooks and crannies to keep sun and shade lovers happy.
Dan was great, we adopted him into our family. He took care of any questions we had and gave us helpful tips about the area. We can hardly wait to come back and see him again and meet Lynette.
Mahalo for an incredible week!
John and Vicki and our family
