If you can't relax here, you can't relax anywhere! We spent endless hours out on the lanai - you could look at the view forever! Saw plenty of whales (in February).

After a previous trip to Kauai, I wanted to come back and stay at Poipu - this house is in prime position! You'd be hard pressed to find a better place to rent on the whole island! It has everything you need and is exactly as described - spacious with both bedrooms having direct access to their own bathroom (access from the laundry can be locked).

A nice touch is that there are a bunch of movies (DVDs and Blu-rays) filmed on Kauai which are excellent to watch on the quality TV.

We went snorkeling at Poipu beach most days - only a few minutes walk through the nicely kept park. In the last trip I snorkeled at 8 or so places around the island including the north and found Poipu beach to be the best. It is also a good place to watch the sunset over the ocean.

A cocktail and meal can be enjoyed at Brennecke's restaurant only a few doors down from the house. To stock up with supplies, I suggest the Big Save on Koloa Rd about 8 minutes drive north, on the way to Lihue so can be worked into island exploring.

Wherever we went, it was always nice to get back to the house - my favorite place on the island! :-) I would definitely be back!
