This is a great house for the whole family. Everyone had private space when they wanted and we could all gather around the table for meals and in the game room for fun. The pool was also a big hit for all. The location was ideal - just a 10 minute easy walk to Poipu beach. Lots of beach chairs and other goodies were provided in the garage. Plus the view from every room was beautiful and listening to the crashing waves at night was so special. Mahalo for sharing your Koloa home with us.

Excellent location

Our multigenerational family traveled to Kauai together and found this home that fit most of our needs! Excellent location and close enough that you hear the waves crashing! Beautiful pool with a spa but during our stay the spa wasn’t heated, and jet switch didn’t work. Overall you won’t regret staying here as it is walking distance to so much on the south shore! Gabe had great communication throughout our stay as well! Hard to leave the beautiful island!

Our stay at Gabe‘s home was perfect! The views from every room were amazing. There was plenty of room for seven adults to enjoy our time together and still have space to get away. The pool and hot tub were a great way to relax in the afternoon between sightseeing trips. Easy walk to a beach where we could snorkel, view the turtles and eat shaved ice!Gabe was very quick to respond to any questions we had.Beautiful home and location. Would definitely stay there again.

Great Stay

The house is in a great location and was perfect for our group. The four bedrooms with on-suite bathrooms were perfect for our group and gave us plenty of space/privacy. We spent most of our time outside on the lanai, which has a great view of the ocean and is a perfect spot for the entire group to hang out. We have two little girls and we appreciated how well equipped the house was with beach towels, folding chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, surf boards, etc. We would certainly stay again in the future.

This home is a great size and location!! Morning walks to the ocean was so amazing! Our family of 12 and all ages enjoyed this home so much! It is large and spacious for being together or find separate areas for some quiet time. The kitchen was well supplied and spacious enough for cooking together.

Beautiful Home

This home provides lots of gathering space as well as beautiful, private bedrooms. We could have sat on the lanai all week and had a wonderful vacation! As it was, this home was a perfect home base for all of our adventures. We loved being able to walk to beaches in either direction. One of our favorite activities was walking half a block to the Poipu Light in the mornings and evenings to watch the sun rise and set, look for whales and marvel at the surf.

Such a great house!

We really loved our stay in this home. It had everything we needed and the pool table was a hit every night for the guys in our family. It had everything to accommodate our two little grandkids and one of our favorite places to hang out was on the back deck with the amazing ocean view! The two fridges were so helpful and the rooms all stayed very cool at night with the individual air conditioning units. I highly recommend this home and we would love to stay again if we are back in Kauai. Thanks for providing such a comfortable place to stay for our first time in Kauai with our whole family.

Nothing short of perfect

Booking was super easy. The host quickly and smoothly helped us add another day to our reservation when I asked. The property was extremely clean. The cleaning/check out requests were minimal, especially for how luxurious this home is. I'm not even going to attempt to describe how perfectly gorgeous yet homey and comfortable this place is. It's even more amazing than the pictures and very reasonably priced for the area. Do yourself a favor and book a week at this house with loved ones, walk to Puka Dog, and enjoy the magic of seeing monk seals sleeping on the beach at least 50 feet away.
