Marie was an excellent host. Her place is just a few minutes walk away from both Poipu beach and the beach at the Hyatt. It may be more crowded during warmer weather, but during our March trip, it felt like we had a private stretch of beach just to ourselves. It’s also near a really nice ~4 mile RT hike past beautiful cliffs, cave, and a beach.
Marie’s thoughtfulness made our trip really special. Her place is stocked with everything you need for a perfect vacation. She has endless towels, a jacuzzi, a very comfortable bed, air conditioning, and beautiful patio with a grill where ate and relaxed almost every day. She has a microwave, coffee maker, all necessary plates/bowls/cups/utensils, and thoughtfully provides coffee, tea, cookies, chocolate, and water. No stove/burner indoors but this was not a problem for us. She even has sunscreen, a great Kauai Revealed guidebook, snorkeling gear, super comfortable Tommy Bahama beach chairs and a wheeled cooler that made for the most relaxing beach experience.
We were stunned at how clean the apartment and patio were given that it’s just a few hundred yards from the beach and Kauai’s infamous “red dirt”! This is definitely the place for a romantic getaway (but probably not for families or buddies)—no door or curtain on the shower area! We would definitely come back the next time we’re able to visit Kauai!
