Property was well kept and walking distance to the beach. Beds were comfortable. It was nice to have three full bathrooms. The beach towels were small and thin and the bathroom towels need to be upgraded along with the bath mats. The toilet paper in the master was cheap one-ply. The wagon to haul stuff to the beach was a nice convenience. The refrigerator didn’t seem to get or stay super cold. Overall it was a positive experience.

This place is amazing for multiple couples or families. We had 6 adults, a toddler, and baby.
This place offers plenty of privacy but also an awesome living space and main lanai. We had many dinners together. Everything you need is available in the huge kitchen!
Sunsets in the master were breath taking!
We walked to the beach every day. Saw sea turtles every day! Poipu has the perfect beach for littles! The walk is through a garden. Very safe.. lots of restaurants and neat shops nearby. Is ladies walked to nearby Hyatt to use their spa for the day. We took a drive to the North shore with lots of stops and were home by dinner time.. We cant Wait to come back!!! Thnaks for the great space!

This condo was very nice. We found that the location of this place was very good and a very short walk to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with all kinds of spices. The only improvement to this place is that all the window shades need to be replaced. They are really in bad shape and do not do justice the the quality of the condo. This is the reason I gave this condo only 3 stars and not the 5. I would stay here again and I hope I get the chance to do so soon.

Our stay could not have been better. Bryan, our property contact, was exceptionally kind, responsive, and professional. The unit was exactly as advertised, wonderfully located, clean and lovely. I would happily recommend the whole experience to anyone. Thank you!!

This was the second time that my husband & I stayed here. First was 2 years ago w/ 3 friends, & this time w/ my parents & grandmother.
We obviously enjoyed it enough to come back.
Location is perfect for quick AM walks to watch the sunrise at one beach, then quick evening walks down to another beach for the sunset.
The host provides a great wagon that you can pack up w/ chairs & towels & a cooler to spend a few hours at the beach every day, which was exactly what we had wanted to do on this trip. I will say that I wish that there were more than 4 beach chairs for a house that says it can accommodate 8 people.
The a/c seemed to be having some issues halfway through our stay (80° in the condo), but I contacted the host & they took care of it right away, which was greatly appreciated. (I think there must have been an issue w/ the a/c all over the property b/c it was a sweatbox in the fitness center that day too, but seemed to be working fine the next time we went back.)
There are some updates & improvements that could be made:
-instructions for how to use the vacuum system, which we were never able to figure out
-knobs on bathroom sink came completely off
-bathtub knobs are loose
-the couch has seen better days
-baking sheet would be nice, rather than the disposable one that I had to reuse a couple of times a day every day, as we cooked almost all of our meals
-the cords on the shades in the bedroom were broken
All in all, a great place. Just needs updates.

The condo was very nice. Great location to walk to the beach, restaurants etc. the pool was right outside the condo. Unfortunately our stay was cut short because of a medical emergency so we were only there two nights.
I would definitely come back, it was a great place.

This was truly one of the best rental experiences we've ever had, anywhere. The unit was beautiful, just as pictured, and frankly even better equipped and stocked than we imagined.
I rented this condo for a 10-day vacation for my husband me, our adult son and his wife and our 8 and 10 year old grandchildren. I picked it primarily for the location and easy access to the swimming pool and beaches. This ground floor unit, with large retractable doors allowed the kids to quickly jump in the pool - no stairs, no fuss. The unit came with four boogie boards and with only a short walk to Brennecke Beach, the kids were in the ocean in less than five minutes - often twice a day. I personally appreciated how well the kitchen was equipped. There was a crock pot, large pans, blender, and plenty of everything else we needed, which was great since we ate most of our meals in the unit. Also ,all the paper products and detergents were supplied!
I also really appreciated how responsive both the owner and the manager were to our inquiries. We had one small issue with the kitchen faucet, so I texted Lauren the property manager on a Sunday night. She was at our door in less than a hour and fixed the faucet! She was really amazing and helpful. This place was great and I hope we have the opportunity to rent it again soon!

This home is stunning and beautifully furnished. It is a quick walk to Poipu Beach (10 minutes max maybe??) where we watched the turtles come in at dawn for a rest and then back out at sunset which was phenomenal! The grounds were beautiful and the pool so refreshing. The three king bedrooms/3 baths worked perfectly for three couples to share. We highly recommend this one. The only suggestion I have is to let renters know that there is a recycling option. Unfortunately we didn’t realize it until we took out trash on day 3 and saw the recycling bins.

We loved staying at the Villas, it was a great location and worked perfect for our family of 9 (6 adults, 1 toddler, 2 babies). We loved having the full kitchen and laundry in the unit.
The beach supplies were fantastic!! My grandkids loved all the sand and pool toys. There were plenty of chairs, umbrella & a cooler.
The beds were comfortable and we really appreciated having two pack n play’s for our grandbabies.

The location of the villa was perfect. It was easy to walk to the beach and convenient to both Koala and Poipu. The house was stocked with everything you would need. The set up was ideal for our family of 6 with plenty of space for everyone. Our family really enjoyed our stay! Thank you so much.

Wonderful condo with loads of room for our family of 8 adults. When we walked in the house smelled and looked clean, the AC was blasting, the music was playing and we knew we had picked the right place to stay. Definitely set the bar high. Thank you for having everything we needed to accommodate us. Next time we stay in Poipu, we will definitely be back!

The owners were great to work with! Very accommodating and allowed us early check in after our flight. Pool was easy and wonderful as was the pretty walk to the beach. Condo was spacious and had everything we needed. We had 2 adults in the master and 2 sets of teens in each bedroom. In full disclosure - the third bedroom is quite a downgrade from the first and second bedrooms - nothing wrong with it - but if has the hallway bathroom, smaller, no walk in closet. The bigger 2 bedrooms are heavenly and the bathrooms are amazing. So again, nothing wrong with the third but just a consideration for parents. The kitchen was beautiful, the lanai is so perfect, AC worked well, door code so no worries about keys. Give it a perfect rating and highly recommend.

Pros: all of the beds are so comfortable, better than our own, all six of us said this, the sunsets from the lanai are incredible, spacious refrigerator, plenty of dishware, great knives. Wonderful assortment of ocean play things, chairs and wagon.
Cons: would have been nice to have more than one roll of toilet paper for our 13 day stay, patio chairs are rusting out and quite wobbly, maybe time to replace lanai furniture? Maybe consolidate the TV remotes down to one by programming differently? You know us 'white hairs' have trouble with technology, lol!
Please note: check in process only got 4 stars, because we did not understand the locking mechanism, however, one of the other couples just installed that same door lock on their home and showed the rest of us how to open it, lol!

Location was great! Condo was perfect with 3 bedrooms! We loved being close to the pool! Also loved being a short walk to the Hyatt and beach!! Check in /check out was easy! Only issue we had was with the TV. Difficult to turn on! But property manager came right over to help us with it!! All and all a great vacation place!

![Sandy Palms Villa in Poipu]()
Sandy Palms Villa was the perfect place for our family of five. The kids (and parents!) loved the easy walk down to Brennecke's Beach and Poipu Beach. It was so nice to have access to multiple beach chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards - as well as a wagon to haul it all down to the beach!
The whole family also took advantage of the beautiful pool and jacuzzi - with access right off our lanai it couldn't have been more convenient. Same with the BBQs - we grilled three of our six nights and each day the property staff had them cleaned and ready to go. My teens also took advantage of the fitness center, and appreciated the ability to work out in the air conditioning!
We loved being able to open up nearly the entire wall to the lanai, and enjoy the light breeze coming in. And when it got a little too hot, having the AC was marvelous.
The villa was well stocked and we appreciated having the little things - tissues, paper towels, plastic wrap, etc. And there was enough dishware and flatware for the five of us for several meals.
The villa is in a very convenient location - walk to the Grand Hyatt and Kalapaki Joe's, short drive to shopping, and easy drives for exploring the whole south side of the island. And the communication from the owner was excellent - timely and thorough. We would definitely stay here again!

Had extended family plus family friend stay at this rental. Very fully furnished and loaded. Lots of kitchen utensils, just spread out over the many drawers. Included leftover spices from previous rentals, which was a big plus. Look over what they have before heading out to the grocery store. AC was pre-programmed and kept at a icy 70-73 degrees, which made some members of the trip very happy. Contact with owner prior to arriving made the check-in very easy. Easy walk to the beaches and nearby places to eat. Would stay her again.

Beautiful area, great access to beach. Showers and duo sinks in bathrooms were nice. Minor repairs to inside villa should be updated for expensive price required for stay. Kitchen sink cracked, faucet needs repairing, some furniture worn old. Cabinets need quiet close, bang is un-intentially LOUD. Major concern is mold/mildew smell coming from the laundry room. When the vent fan is on, its worse. I tried to follow all directions from mgr to run clean cycle in washer, did this 6 times, washed empty cycle with hot water and bleech 3x. Smell continued. I worry one of my guests became ill due to the mold smell. I relocated her to a nearby property for 4 days of our 10 day stay. I read the owners manual in the villa and followed all directions for return of deposit. Mrg reported back to me, they dont do this. It would cushion the blow of paying for addtl space if mgt would work with me. That was a little disappointing.

Large 3 bedroom condo with pool, jacuzzi on sight which we used daily after our beach outings. Our grandsons loved the pool which has shallow end for 20 months old. It took us awhile to figure out that the speed control was backwards: 1 was high speed and 4 was low speed, also has central AC, walking distance to Poipu beach for easy beach access and watching sunset to end your day. Didn’t have a rice cooker which meant we had to resort to old fashioned way of cooking on the stove, overall a great Kauai experience.

We just returned from a stay at Walt and Joy's place, we were not let down at all. The condo and grounds were immaculate. The location was perfect, a 4 minute walk to two beaches (and the wagon was a lifesaver!). The bed and pillows in the master were so comfortable I slept better than I do at home. Everything was clean, comfortable and well stocked.
My favorite part was sitting out on the covered lanai and enjoying the ocean breeze and sunrise. We couldn't have picked a better location and property. I enjoyed the walking paths for early morning walks and restaurants were a short car ride away (a few walkable). I had groceries delivered the day we arrived from Safeway, it made things so easy!
Walt was extremely fast in responding to any question we had. Thanks for opening your home to us, we loved it!

The condo was exactly as pictured and perfect for our family of 8. It was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The a/c worked well, too. The elevator inside the condo came in handy especially when unloading our luggage and groceries. Mike was a great host. Always responded quickly to all my questions. Our grandsons enjoyed the pool and playing pickleball. We all enjoyed the walking paths. The location is the best. We were minutes from the beach, zip lining, ATV excursion, old town where there are numerous shops, and the fresh fruit stand (the mango smoothie was my favorite). We also enjoyed the luau show at the Sheraton which was minutes away. Our grandsons loved the adventure helicopter ride (doors off) where they said the view of the canyon was spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you Mike for sharing your great condo with us.

This property was unbelievable. So much space for 7 of us. The place was clean. Inside and out. The complex crews were very polite and busy cleaning the property and keeping up on the landscaping. The unit has everything you would need. The beach is litteraly right down the walking path. We saw sea turtles on the beach and in the water. Plus, a hawaiian monk seal on the beach. The area was in a perfect location. We would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for such an amazing stay.

The condo is large, clean and nicely decorated. The kitchen is well-equipped. We traveled with two teenagers, so 3 full bathrooms were a plus. We had one maintenance request, and the response was quick despite it being the weekend. The balcony was cool and comfortable even during the hottest part of the day.
One observation (not complaint) - there were a lot of families vacationing with grandparents and small children. Expect to hear them, including running around on the third floor.

We had a dream stay at this house. My children said "Wow! This feels like a place we could live in forever". It is really well stocked, important for people like us who are dietarily-restricted and need to cook, and has ample bath and pool towels, also important for this active family. Other things to note: It is also immaculately clean, very spacious (we are from Texas so this is no small feat!), has lots of pool/beach related items so we didn't need to bring all of our stuff with us. Of utmost importance, Stephen was highly communicative, kind and receptive; we are so grateful. We will definitely DEFINITELY 100% stay here again. Thank you!
