Description
POIPU CRATER 12
Poipu Crater is a truly unique setting - lush and tropical vegetation nestled in an ancient cinder cone crater, just a few hundred feet from the southernmost tip of the island of Kauai. This 2 bed 2 bathroom condo boasts vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Seclusion with expansive garden views, sharing only a single wall with another unit in a 2 unit building. No upstairs or downstairs neighbors - this is as close to a free-standing condo as you can get.
AC was recently added to aid cooling when the tradewinds die down - this property will keep you cool and comfortable year-round! Most of the rooms have dramatic vaulted ceilings lending to a Polynesian atmosphere.
Enjoy the lanai for meals, lounging, and a peaceful place to relax while the tropical trees slowly sway in the breeze.
Poipu Crater is a short walk to either Poipu Beach and Brennecke Beach in one direction and Shipwreck Beach in the other direction. World-class dining and shopping is a 2-3 minute drive either towards the shops at Kukui'ula or the Grand Hyatt.

We loved our stay at Koloa Kai. We had an easy check-in. Parking is perfect right by the unit. There was plenty of space for our family. Very close to the beach. My favorite thing about the place is it feels very homey. They have things for you to borrow for the beach which I really appreciated. They left chocolates on arrival which felt very welcoming. Things were labeled to assist with figuring out lights and fans. The area was quiet and I liked that. I feel like the host really tried to think of everything you would need while staying there. Thank you

Easy check-in and the unit was very clean. Located in a secluded community with beautiful tropical foliage views from the lanai that we enjoyed daily for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Pool area was nice and clean and had a ping pong table that the kids enjoyed. Mattresses could be a little thicker and the unit does have an older musty smell to it, but overall we had a great stay and wouldnt hesitate to stay again.

We stayed at Poipu Crater until 12 in mid-March. The place was beautiful, spacious, and equipped with everything you need including games, kitchen appliances, beach toys, and a washer/dryer. It is a short walk to a couple of different beaches, lava rock waterfront, and restaurants. We spent every morning on the rocky coast watching the whales while having our morning coffee. I would definitely stay here again.

great stay
This location was great for a short walk to beaches, hikes, and restaurants. The spacious condo offered two good-sized bedrooms and full bathrooms in addition to multiple common spaces. The upstairs room has an AC unit while the downstairs does not. Although the back porch could use more lighting it was a nice area to enjoy a meal. The kitchen was stocked with everything from kids' needs to storage containers. Although we didn't do any cooking at home, the kitchen seemed to be appropriately stocked to do so. We were happily surprised with some beach chairs, boogie boards, toys, a beach cart, and other miscellaneous beach things. The pool is visible from the porch and had grills as well as an indoor cooking/seating area available to all. Overall this condo gave us everything we needed for our stay. Our only complaint was the mattresses on the beds as you could feel the springs.

All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here. Its super close to our favorite beach (Poipu beach), shops, restaurants, and walking paths. The grounds are beautiful to walk around and you can enjoy them by playing tennis, swimming in the swimming pool, playing ping pong, having a BBQ, etc. The rental is equipped with a kitchen, a washer, and dryer, a really nice patio with awesome beach gear. The place itself is not new by any means and you have to understand that it can use a few areas of improvement, but after messaging the hosts, we had our problems fixed in a reasonable time. For example, we had a patio door that wouldnt lock, but by the next day, they fixed it. The blow dryer was old and not working, but we were provided a new one. The blinds do not close, but they are in the process of fixing those they told us. Some of the power outlets werent working, but this also got fixed. So, I would rate the hosts really high in listening to concerns and solving them. They also listened to my concern about traveling with a baby and promised us that there would be a pack n play the night we arrived. The ball was dropped on this the 1st night, but luckily we messaged them and by our 2nd night we got the pack n play which made our stay so much better! This wasnt a part of the description so I really appreciated them doing this for us. One major suggestion would be to change the bed frame in the downstairs bedroom. Its awful because the frame sticks out quite far and so your knees keep hitting it and youll be left with some bad bruises. Thank you for letting us stay! We appreciate all your help with our trip to Kauai!

Practically Perfect Poipu
Excellent location, midway between the Hyatt (where I was attending a conference) and the Poipu Kai Tennis Club (where my husband was working on his game). Ten-minute walk to each. Close to Brennecke Beach, complete with green turtles and spectacular sunsets. The property was spotlessly clean, and communication with the property management was excellent. Upon arriving we discovered the clothes dryer was missing a handle; this was remedied within a couple of hours with one phone call. Very nice swimming pool and clubhouse on the property. Very comfortable and enjoyable, a great location on the delightful southern coast.

• Reservations canceled 30 days or more prior to arrival date are 100% refundable.
PESTS:
Kauai is in a climate that is considered to be both tropical and within a rainforest category, known for its lush flora and fauna. The environmental factors create a situation where pests (insects) are nearly impossible to eradicate from every property constantly. Many bugs fly in when a door is open at night or are simply small enough to come in through screens on windows and sliding doors. For this reason, Koloa Kai engages regular quarterly pest control in every property to keep the pests at bay. Despite these efforts, it is possible to have pests in your property, and if that happens, Koloa Kai will take all measures possible as quickly as possible to mitigate any issues. Any monetary compensation, refunds or discounts will be given solely at the discretion of Koloa Kai and will only be available in situations where the company agrees that an infestation has occurred. Koloa Kai reserves the right to investigate and provide remediation of any pest issue. The mere presence of pests in the property shall not constitute grounds for monetary compensation.

Koloa Kai LLC provides only short-term rentals with a maximum reservation of 30 days. Each reservation is fully documented and provides for a fixed date and time for check-in and check-out, rental rates, associated fees, and all other requirements required by local and state law. If a guest books consecutive reservations where the check-out and check-in dates are concurrent, then a cleaning fee will be assessed, and a Koloa Kai designated cleaning professional/inspector will have unrestricted access to the property for the purposes of cleaning and inspection of the property. During the time between reservations, described by the check-out time and check-in time specifically, the guests shall vacate the property so that the designated cleaning professional/inspector can conduct a full reservation clean and inspection in accordance with Koloa Kai’s standard practice.
