We feel lucky to have found this place on VRBO as it made our stay quite enjoyable. We were visiting for a conference at Grand Hyatt but wanted to stay at a house given we have 3 little ones. This place is walking distance to Grand Hyatt - a leisurely (slow) 10min walk with toddlers. It is in a residential area, so the closest restaurants/coffee shops are at the Hyatt. The pathway that takes us to Grand Hyatt/beach is right behind the yard (no car traffic) and we see plenty of people taking a stroll throughout the day. Neighborhood is quiet, safe and the neighbors friendly. My 2yo daughter wandered off one day and made it two houses down before she was noticed by concerned pedestrians who stayed with her and notified me. Other restaurants/shops are a short 7min drive away. Many areas of interest are also close by. We drove to the Baby Beach and spent half a day there. We also got a resort pass for the Grand Hyatt (they have amazing pools) and spent a fun day. Grocery chains (Walmart, Safeway, Costco) are about 20-25min out, close to the airport. Inside the house, the appliances are great, AC works well, showers are nice. There is a good collection of books and board games. What I appreciated the most were the booster chairs that made our lives so much easier. Inside the garage were other things you wish you had but couldn't bring with you, like folding chairs, etc. Plenty of towels/beach towels, clean sheets. Really appreciate the attention to detail and the amenities.

This was our 4th time to Kauai. When I chose a house I base it on family room space and comfort and location. This home was a home run. Had everything we needed. Neighborhood was wonderful and the walking path was huge bonus. I was their with my 3 teens and was perfect.

We choose to stay at this house every year because it has everything we want in a rental house. Privacy, proximity to beaches, green space and amenities, huge yard, clean house etc...Dollar for dollar, hands down the best place in Poipu Bay.

Great location, house met our needs. 2 couples sharing the house. The laundry is so convenient, we had mud from various trails... so easy to clean off red dirt. Learned how to make a killer Mai Tai. All the ingredients from Costco. We're already booked for return stay next year same house, same time. Excited already. Aloha 2018

I can't imagine needing or wanting anything more. It met 100% of our needs. The rental home and KVR's services exceeded our expectations. We will rent the same house when we return to Kauai!

Just wanted to say that your company has been a pleasure to work with! We so appreciated the house keys being left at our car rental office, saving us a trip to get them. The home we rented was as exactly advertised, clean and welcoming when we arrived. The checkout process was simple. But the icing on the cake was the family heirloom necklace that was inadvertently left behind. Your office contacted us to see if it was ours, then put it immediately in the mail to us. When it arrived, it was packaged with some Hawaiian treats that we will enjoy. Nothing but great service from start to finish! We will be highly recommending your company to our friends and family looking to travel to Kauai.

Our party of seven greatly enjoyed our stay at Shells at Poipu. The house was a perfect location for meals and entertainment for our group as well as family from Australia. The area was quiet and very close to cliffs and beaches. The house was clean and tastefully appointed. Beach and swim equipment was available in the garage. We will definitely be returning to Kauai and will seriously consider your agency for future trips.

We stayed ten days with our two teenagers and their grandparents and found our rental home to be perfect for a group of 6! The house was bright and breezy and in an optimal location on the Poipu Kai green belt, close to the Grand Hyatt and beach trails as well as within walking distance to Brennecke’s beach for sunset and beach time. We enjoyed the Poipu Kai pool as well. The unit was well stocked with chairs, beach toys, coolers and lots of games and books too! The only disappointment for us was that one of the bedrooms stated it had a queen bed however it was only a full and was too short for my husband’s comfort. It was a small room so I doubt a queen would have fit. Still we had an overall pleasant stay and would highly recommend and consider a return to this lovely little Poipu Shells home!

Shells at Poipu was lovely. The house was in a nice neighborhood and it was clean and spacious. There was everything you need for your stay from kitchen appliances to loads of beach towels.We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home. The only drawback was that we couldn't find the shared pool. There was nothing in the house to tell us where to go. We took off looking for it one day and tried the key in 6 different pools before calling the office to locate the pool. We were given verbal instructions how to get there from a woman who didn't really know where the pool was located. Finally after over an hour of looking we found it. That could have easily have been avoided by having a map at the house.

House was bright with lots of windows. AC was a necessity for us and worked great. Location was awesome- we walked to Shipwreck beach for tide pools and short drive to Poipu Beach Park for swimming (walk was too far for the kids age 8 and 10- had tears the day we tried). Made use of the beach supplies in the garage (chairs, boogie boards mostly but there was a wagon, big coolers, umbrella was missing a pin). Pool and jacuzzi was down the path a ways and was good for an afternoon. The green belt path was really nice to walk in the mornings with banana trees and flowering plants. We did lots of cooking and baking- not much in terms of spices, staples, but that always varies on what people leave behind and what gets thrown away. Kitchen tools were in decent shape. Knives were sharp and pans were nice quality. Neighbors were so very sweet and let the kids feed lizards! House was super quiet!! No roosters, no loud talking, no loud parties. I wish the house was cleaner- it could definitely use a deep cleaning (wiping down drawer/sink handles/towel racks, removal of decor that catches dust) and refreshed bath towels. Bathrooms really need updating but did the job. Master bed was comfortable. Washer/dryer was put to use and worked well.

The reviews with stars paint a very positive experience. The house is at an amazing location...two minutes walk to an amazing beach. House was fine, one bedroom is a little tight, but that's okay. Kauai Vacation Rentals really stood out on this trip as my wife broke her leg on a biking trip. They were very helpful and accommodating, which helped make a bad situation not nearly so bad. They really took care of us.
