kauai trip 2026
My family has stayed in the Pane Road Hale a few years ago and this stay was just as nice as before. The space allowed for all of us to gather together and also spend quiet moments on our own. The location is perfect for walking to the beach or up to Kalapaki Joe's for dinner.

lovely lovely lovely!!
This was a fantastic place to stay in Poipu! Literally a 2 minute walk to the beach but yet quiet and off the main road. This is a beautiful home that has been lovingly maintained and was extremely clean. Very well appointed kitchen as well as a grill, more than we needed! It has a lovely backyard that is great place to relax. We loved getting up in the morning and walking down to the beach and the many places there were to walk from this home, and at night we could hear the waves from the open windows. This home was advertised as having 3 bedrooms but actually has 4 plus an additional daybed in the family room if needed. I would highly recommend this home as the perfect place to stay!!!

excellent family vacation destination
This house is very similar to the one my husband had growing in Kailua (Oahu) and where my children would visit their grandparents--so it has a very comfortable, roomy, child friendly getaway for us to take our son's family. We liked that we could walk to the beach, walk to places to get food and have a short drive to get groceries or go to a shopping center. It has a great layout, wonderful yard and everything we needed. We plan to come back again!

serene and gracious hawaiian retreat
If you are looking for a peaceful and authentic Hawaiian home experience, this is it! Beautiful gardens, sea breezes and plenty of fans. The house accommodated 6 adults amply, and the location is amazing, within walking distance to Brenneke and Poipu Beaches, with all the amenities needed without unnecessary frills. I felt the spirit of the place fill me with calm, and enjoyed making a lei from the the plumeria trees on the property. Please don't 'upgrade' it! There are enough McMansions and Resorts with AC; if that's what you crave look elsewhere.

Tha rental was in an excellent location. In a quiet neighborhood with very little traffic. A short walk to the beach was great.We missed having the ocean breeze at night.The home could use more ceiling fans or air conditioning. Over all a very nice property to stay at!

excellent value option
We were very pleased with the laid-back design of this breezy older house. Between its great location and great airflow, you will enjoy your stay.
While the positives greatly outweigh the negatives it's important to disclose the issues that we encountered. The kitchen is way outdated. It's dark and the cabinets stick and are difficult to open. If you're planning on cooking a lot during your stay you might want to go to a place with a remodeled kitchen. The kitchen was fine for us, but highly annoying.

2025 kauai cottage
What a quaint and comfortable Kauai cottage! My son, his good friend and I loved the location and proximity to Poipu Beach . The cottage felt like an original on the street and authentically a beach rental. We loved the presence of the roosters each morning to wake us up and get an early start to the day. I do wish that the kitchen had a dishwasher , however, it suited us well and we very much enjoyed the lovely simplicity of the yard and location. All the beach chairs and umbrellas made it an easy walk to the beach ready to enjoy the ocean . We would happily return for another wonderful stay !

quick walk to the beach, no car needed
The location is perfect for a quick morning swim before heading out for the day. The 4 bedrooms worked well for our group, bathrooms were nicely updated, plenty of hot water and great towels. The house is a wonderful older simple island style home with a great back yard. Yes the kitchen could use an update, but all appliances worked and plenty of kitchen tools for cooking. The house is exactly as pictured. Many of the wooden doors and drawers would benefit from being planed so they don’t stick as much.

We had a dreamy five days in this well appointed property with a great location. The home and property were as described. It was a comfortable, serene step back into time to a simpler life.

great family home
Our family loved this home! It was so comfortable for all of us, including my 6 and 15 year old granddaughters. The large yard was a wonderful hangout place. There was plenty of towels, beach chairs and toys to keep us playing at the beach and house. We loved the large gatherings spaces as well as the private, quiet areas. Will rent again if we have a large group. Can’t beat the short walk to two great beaches!

Our stay was incredibly comfortable! This place has everything you need. I am a plant based chef and found the kitchen to have a robust selection of pots, pans, utensils, and even some seasonings! The walk to the beach was perfect. Not far at all and by the time we got to the house we were all dry. The temperature of the house remained comfortable and we loved having the windows open with the fans circulating the fresh Hawai’i air!

great home for a family get together
The house is a short walk from some great beaches, a choice of surfing, snorkeling, swimming with turtles and monk seals, and a safe kids beach. The house was spacious with room to spread out indoors and out, with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is an older place which we quite like, but that does mean the kitchen is a bit dated and doors stick. But it had everything we needed. We stayed in December and with the louvres open and fans the house was always a comfortable temperature by day and night. We would be happy to stay here again. We really enjoyed the Napali Coast tour we did, as well as several restaurants nearby.

poipu beach/pane road house
We were very happy with the house on Pane Road. The walk to the beach was short and pleasant. The road is quiet. The nearby beaches worked for experienced boogie boarders and our young grandchildren. We loved seeing the sea turtles and seals. The house was roomy and comfortable. While I wouldn't call it a luxurious home, it was clean, well-equipped and offered privacy. It was perfect for us. If asked what could make the house better, I'd say an outdoor shower and boogie boards to go with the beach chairs and great linens.

pane rd hale
This was our second stay here - its a home away from home for our 2 families. Beds are comfortable, layout of home roomy. Kitchen small but sufficient. Backyard has BBQ, table w/umbrella & chairs. Lots of room for kids to play. Beach chairs provided in garage for carrying on the short walk to the beach. Also provide beach towels and lots of bath towels. Great communication with staff if you need anything. Both families love it here.
Kalapaki Joe's Restaurant just a short walk behind house. Very good food! Traveled to Hanalei for kayaking and watched grandson & Dad surf. Daddy O's Restaurant in Lihue does excellent breakfast (only). Have to visit Kauai Coffee and there are various Art nights on Kauai. Koloa town is must visit. We recommend this home for a great time on Kauai. Mahalo to rental ladies. A lot of Aloha.

our stay at pane road hale
Nice location. KVR staff were very helpful, provided us with a new kettle and sorted out the issues with the phone and television. Garage was very useful. General condition of property was good. However, the wooden floors could have been cleaner. We also reported a hole in the side of the property that allowed partial access for birds.

The little house was in the perfect spot for beach time and access to shopping/dining. Plenty big for the family and has a great yard to chill out in. My only negative comment would be regarding kitchen items. It stinks to have to buy all condiments including salt and pepper when you arrive. So buy EVERYTHING you think you will need at the store. Communication was professional but not personal(a packet in a mailbox and emails). Someone else commented about the house having it's quirks, it does and it was still really great! It is dated. Beds were ok but old. It is clean and spacious. I would stay here again!

Sunrises and sunsets were amazing from the beaches just a block or two from this location. Poipu area is a great home base for Kauai. This house had 2 king beds, a full, and 3 twins. One twin was out in the living and dining area, tucked away. 2 full bathrooms plus another toilet. Washer and dryer worked ok as well. Tight squeeze for two full size cars in the driveway, but works best when the first car in parks to the right.

pane road hale
We stayed in an older beach cottage in Pane Road. It is a good neighborhood just one block from Brennecke Beach. The back yard is private and has a mature mango tree with fruit, which we enjoyed picking from each day. The kitchen and bathroom off of the laundry room are very old and could use updating, but the other two bathrooms are nice. The kitchen appliances were newer and very nice. We liked having a washer and dryer to use. We couldn’t get the 2 tv’s to work, even with the cable instructions (they turned on, but couldn’t figure out how to turn on a program). Overall we liked the cottage, especially the back yard, location to the beach, and the spaciousness of the home.
