Koloa vacation rentals

Location: Heart of south side Kauai, 2 min from Poipu (nightly turtles) or Brennecke’s (waves!) beaches, 30 min from Costco and Safeway but local markets nearby, an hour from Waimea canyon, 90 min from Princeville and Hā’ena (Tunnels beach for snorkeling!). And more! Property: This place really has everything except a beachfront and even that is only a 2 min drive. Pictures on VRBO do not do this home justice. Landscaping creates a lush, private and delightfully tropical paradise with pathways and wildlife surprises. Kitchen has tons of space and high end appliances. Pool and hot tub are spacious and perfect lazy days at home. The kids (and adults) never wanted to leave the game room. All the pool/beach gear for use was in pretty great shape! I love that this was such a perfectly curated rental and still accommodating for families with very young kids. Host: Nicole is just exceptional. Very thorough with property information including labels, operation instructions and check in/out. She’s thought of every possible detail that renters would need, including kids dinner ware and a full Tupperware drawer for those packed beach snacks. Nicole is super easy to get in touch with - VRBO app, phone call, email, text message. I love that she has been so generous to share her beautiful home. Without a doubt, if we make a return visit to Kauai, this is where we would stay again - it’s just too good of a value for all that it has to offer and it truly felt like our home for a week.

We were very happy with this property. We had 6 adults in our party and to have 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms for each couple was amazing! The condo is spacious, very clean and well stocked. The lanais were very clean too. I was a little confused by the layout of the rooms from the website pictures, so to clarify (for others who might also be wondering), the master bedroom and the bedroom with the two beds are on the same floor that has the kitchen, dining and family room. The bedroom with the queen bed is upstairs. It is like a loft, as one of its walls is open (closed off with shutters and a half wall) but it’s great. All the rooms are very roomy and comfortable. There are around 5 beach towels, 2 boogy boards and a couple of pool noodles, in addition to chairs and sand toys. My one complaint is communication with the property management was a little slow and seemed very automated. I wasn’t sure if I was actually texting with a real person or not. Sometimes when I texted there was a response as soon as I hit send (that’s why I felt it was automated) but other times I had to wait over an hour for a response. And when I called the number (right after receiving a reply), the call would not go through.I wanted to clarify what needed to be done before we checked out. Surprisingly, nothing. But it would have been nice to know this a little sooner than very late on our last day. A great place! Would stay here again!
