This home was perfect for our group of eight - two families with a total of 5 adults and 3 teens. The beach is only a 10-12 minute walk from the house. Both sets of parents enjoyed a master bedroom/bath, and there was plenty of room for all eight of us. The kitchen was well-appointed, and we appreciated the ice maker plus 6+ ice cube trays ready to go for filling our water bottles for the day's adventures. We also enjoyed the stash of beach towels and boogie boards in the garage.
The complimentary membership to the Poipu Athletic Club was a huge amenity - it's a 20-minute walk / 5-minute drive from the house. The club has a swimming pool with water slide, open-air weight room and cardio workout rooms, tennis/pickleball/basketball courts, modern shower/bathroom building and bar/grill on the premises. The bar and grill was a bit pricey, so we had most of our dinners at the house. If your departure flight is later in the day, the Poipu Athletic Club offers a Departure Pass that is a real lifesaver! For $40 a family, they will securely store all your luggage for the day (pick-up before they close at 8 p.m.), and you will have access to everything at the Club (you can take that post-beach shower before your flight!) for that day.
Jim and Juliana were very responsive to any questions we had both before and during our stay. They kept us appraised of the COVID requirements and emailed us detailed information on everything from grocery shopping to recommendations on places to visit / things to do during our time in Kauai. We would definitely stay here again!
