This place was stunning! It was the most unique and beautiful place all of us have ever stayed at -- pictures don’t do it justice. The house has an open vibe with Asian-inspired furniture and design. Besides the master suite in the main area, there are 3 suites outside the main living area surrounding the central garden, connected with a Japanese style roof. The entire house was also surrounded by tropical gardens, each with its own unique vegetation and Koi pond. We have never seen so many Koi fish before, and they are gorgeous!
Each suite has its own entrance with an electronic door lock. Inside a suite you will find a large bed, desk, and a full bathroom and shower all with quality furnishing. Every suite is beautiful and clean, and the bed is very comfy. The showers had multiple shower heads, and the master suite one even had 6+ shower heads -- quite the showering experience. The master suite also had a large bathtub with jets, almost like a hot tub.
The actual hot tub outside is huge. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but this hot tub can probably fit 7-8 people. The swinging bed next to it is cozy and relaxing. The hot tub and swinging bed are under a protected roof next to Koi ponds. We often spent hours chilling in that area enjoying the beautiful view while it was raining.
We also had access to a community pool about 8-10 minutes walk away. The place was next to Shipwreck beach and Grand Hilton Hotel. On Shipwreck beach you will find short trails full of lovely greenery, and the Hilton pool was quite the sight. Have you ever seen a giant pool with multiple man-made islands in the middle? If not, definitely check this out. The walk from the Airbnb to Hilton and Shipwreck beach is scenic and charming as well. There are a lot of great restaurants around the area, and Poipu beach is only a few minutes drive away. The host had nice Turkish beach towels and provided us with beach umbrella and chairs. Don’t miss the Puka dogs at Poipu beach -- we went back at least 3 times. If location is important to you, it doesn’t get much better than here.
The host, Kevin, was awesome! We had some issues with door locks and other small things, and Kevin was very communicative and responsive. We originally debated between this place and another standard upscale Airbnb and were quite torn within our group between the two places. When we arrived at this place, no one had a single doubt that this was the right decision -- it was a unique experience we would not have wanted to miss. The weather was very bad while we were in Kauai, so we spent a lot of time indoors and were really thankful and happy that we picked such an exquisite place. It was truly a tropical paradise.
