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.

AC split system in the master bedroom upstairs and the living room.

This place was a great stay! 15min walk to Poipu Beach. The area of the home was very nice and private. No issues at all with any noise or loud neighbors. It was helpful to know there was air conditioning but we actually didnt need it at all with the wonderful breeze through the house at all times. Probably the best part was all the beach supplies available. 4 nice beach chairs, an umbrella, a wagon, boogie boards, and a mini cooler were all available for use which was super helpful! Highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay on the south side of the island.

Nice central location with lots of amenities! Great place to stay in the Southern part of Kauai. Loved the 10-minute walk to Poipu Beach. Property managers were super fast to respond. They also provided a ton of information about the property and local stuff to check out. It really was a streamlined process with little effort to get in. We will miss the evening walks to see the sea turtles and Brennecke's! 2/10/2023 at 4:28 PM

Poipu Beach The property is as described. Clean. 2-3 minute drive from the beach. The beach is within walking distance, but up and down steep hills. Would really not want to carry much. Owners left beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, wagon, boogie boards... which was much appreciated. The only small critique would be to fix the vertical blinds in the living room so one can open and close. Great house. Would definitely stay again. 2/7/2023 at 3:44 PM

Tropical Respite The Poipu Crater is a quiet, tropical enclave just a few minutes' walk from the beaches. The condo is sheltered within jungle greenery and those who share the complex are like-minded quiet people. The accommodations within Number 12 are as advertised. The Koloa Kai Management Company is about the best we've ever encountered for a vacation rental property. Great communication, clear messages, always available to answer inquiries. Check-in was flawless, instructions were complete and helpful. We recommend this venue. Our second stay in the Crater did not disappoint once again. 12/22/2022 at 9:44 PM

Great place to stay We stayed in #12 and were extremely happy with the location. We had a lot of peace and quiet and lush and beautiful surroundings, which is why we ate all our meals out on the lanai. It was only a 10-minute walk to Brenneke and Poipu Beach, but still away from the busy Poipu area. Great condo for the 5 of us. Lots of space, and had a well-stocked kitchen. 11/20/2022 at 6:16 PM

Really a delightful place! It was unique in that you drive into a lush crater that is hidden away. Coffee on the balcony porch started each of our relaxed days. The location was great and the pool and tennis court made it like our own little country club. We would choose to stay there again if the opportunity arises.

We enjoyed our stay at Poipu Crater. The property did not reflect the pictures online. Online it appears more open and updated. We were surprised to see the difference. Poor lighting and broken blinds. The property could use some updating. The pool area was probably our most favorite and also how quiet the place was! We will probably not stay there again. I would rate it as a 6 or 7.

The unit was spotless and ready for us early. The kitchen was the best-appointed kitchen I've ever seen at a rental property. Parking was close to the unit as were the swimming pool and barbecues. A short walk takes you to Poipu beach. Never used the air conditioning. Instead, we opened up the house and used the overhead fans. A very nice property.

Poipu Crater #12 was cozy and quiet for our family of 4. We liked the small but well-appointed kitchen with nice dishware, and pots/pans. We also liked the comfortable and tastefully decorated living room and clean furniture. The grounds were very quiet, peaceful, and convenient, easy to get to the pool, and our car parked right outside, which is a nice departure from the huge Hyatt resort and the Poipu hustle and bustle a few minutes away. The location of Poipu Crater is very convenient and close to Poipu and Brennekke's beach and Lawai beach with great snorkeling. The only minor negative points were that the dining room furniture and lanai furniture were a bit large for the cozy space, such that it was a bit difficult for us to move around in those spaces. Also, the downstairs shower was pretty small, so we just showered in the upstairs shower which was very nice. Lastly, for a shoes-off place, the off-white rug leading upstairs was a bit dirty.

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.

All reservations require a 25% payment to hold chosen dates. 
• 45 days prior to arrival, the remaining balance is due in full

CANCELLATION POLICIES: 
• 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.

30-DAY MAXIMUM RENTALS:
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.  Guest access to the property shall be restricted specifically to the date/times of the reservation documentation and may not be extended upon verbal or text message confirmation.  

Hawaii Laws require that GET (4.712%), Kauai TAT (3.0%) and TAT (10.25%) taxes apply to the cleaning fee.
