Stayed here with some of my extended family. The location is amazing- close to Baby Beach, walking distance to the shopping plaza, and a short drive to Poipu. The back yard is gorgeous and we really enjoyed spending time out there.
Check in was supposed to be at 4, but we hadn’t heard from management with the key code by 4:05, so I had to reach out to them. They were responsive and apologetic, and then upon arriving, we found the cleaning staff had inadvertently left with the keys from the lock box, so we had to wait for a key until 5 oclock.
The home itself is adorable, but is in need of some upgrades. The upholstery on the sofas is musty, slightly mildewed, and tearing from years of sun damage. Same goes for the dining chairs. The furniture is unraveling… all of which is very tempting for little toddler hands to bother, so keep that in mind if traveling with kids. We ended up not using the pack n play on premise because of the stains and smell.
They do provide beach towels, but only 1 per person, which meant we were constantly drying the towels as we were at the beach at least 2 times a day.
Just a reminder that there is no AC, but they do provide plenty of fans. Just be prepared to sleep with all the doors and windows open to stay cool.
Lastly, the kitchen was well stocked with appliances and gear, but the only spices on hand were salt and pepper, so if you are planning on cooking, you may need to stock up.

The location couldn’t be better for our young family. Around the corner from Baby Beach and quick drive to Poi’pu and fresh Poké make it so convenient. Sunsets visible out in the pacific while relaxing on the lanai. Wonderful. Gorgeous high beam ceilings. Would recommend the owners switch from carpeted to tile or laminate flooring in the living room and bedrooms to avoid the mustiness that comes with active beach life and island humidity. Only critique.
Rate this 4.5 out of 5!!!!!

Wonderful property! We enjoyed the peaceful yard with their lounge chairs and the very well equipped kitchen. The deck upstairs overlooks the garden and also you can see the ocean. We loved our stay, just be aware that it is on a road, so you will hear cars drive by. But then, it's Kauai, so it's not very, very busy!.

The perfect home away from home
We loved the home. Perfect for our stay. The area is very quiet. We had 4 adults and it was perfect. Each couple had there own master bedroom with a bathroom attached. Definitely large enough for more guests. Close enough to walking to the beach, restaurants, shopping, farmers market. We really enjoyed walking to Baby Beach for sunsets. Well stocked with everything you need from kitchen items to beach gear. Can’t say enough how much we loved this house. Thank you for letting us use your home as ours for 10 days.

Heavenly Kauai Property
This house is gorgeous - really a home more than a rental property. The house is set up well and stocked extremely well. The location is fantastic - close to everything - shops, beach, wonderful restaurants. The home is spacious and can accommodate more people than our group. There were 4 of us and we had tons of room. The property itself outside is well maintained and has lovely plants and trees. Gorgeous - I would stay again and plan to.

Leila's Birthday Party
The house was awesome! It had everything from a high chair to boogie boards to board games. It was clean and comfortable. The back yard space was really great for corn hole and yard Yahtzee. We had a wonderful time!

Good choice
This is an excellent house - unusual in that living quarters are downstairs with kitchen and living room upstairs, which makes so much sense. Plenty of room, everything works pretty well. Short walk to Baby Beach - just five or six minutes even with little kids. Short walk to the shops and restaurants. While ocean-view is a bit of a stretch (you can see it if you’’re tall enough and stand in the right place) the view is beautiful over the beautifullly-treed neighborhood. A lovely 2-mile walk to Spouting Horn. We would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great house!
We were a group of 5 friends in Kauai for a wedding. The house was a perfect home base for us for the week! Buzz and Valerie were lovely and so responsive.

Beautiful home
The location is convenient to most everything on the island. The house has everything you need for cooking, washing, beachcombing,etc. There is plenty of room and the house was very clean. You can see and hear the ocean which is only a short walk away. Baby beach was like having a private beach for snorkelling and swimming. We really enjoyed this house. There is no AC and it was unusually warm for August. There are many fans throughout and we spent many evenings on the Lanai.

Fantastic week in Poipu
We just returned from a great week in Kauai. We thoroughly enjoyed this home. As many other reviewers have said, it is well outfitted and well stocked. Location is great. We loved having the beach so close by (suggestion for those of you that want to use Baby Beach - get some aqua socks to protect your feet...there are some sharper coral rocks out there). At night, you could hear the waves crashing. So great to sleep with the windows open with the breeze and the sound of the ocean.
The walkability of this house is not just about the beach. You can walk to the Long's Drugs shopping center in about 5 - 10 minutes. There are a number of great restaurants there (we ate at Tortilla Republic on our last evening - great food). Just west of the house is The Beach House - another very nice restaurant that we visited. We also cooked in a few evenings and having the gas grill was a bonus (easier than coals). I would also recommend a place called Da Crack for some quick mexican food (no seating, it's all just takeout).
We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

Amazing property well equipped for cooking, entertaining, or hitting the beach. Excellent location!!
We had an amazing time staying a week in March at Akala Pua! The house was very clean, well organized, and provided a perfect relaxing environment. Loved the ocean view and listening to the beautiful birds filling the trees every day. The island breeze and indoor fans keep the house very comfortable and enjoyable at all times of day. The Lanai’s are perfect for reading a good book, enjoying your favorite drink, or just relaxing in the sun. The kitchen is stocked well and provided everything we needed during our stay. This house is in a perfect location and within walking distance or a short drive of everything you want to do in Poipu. We appreciated and made much use of the beach towels and were pleasantly surprised at how much beach gear was in the garage to use. The adjacent rental house shares the backyard with this property but gives you enough space and privacy that this isn’t a problem. We found ourselves enjoying coffee and good conversation with the other family during our stay. In summary, this property is worth every penny and will give you the island experience you’re looking for. I’ll be recommending this house to everyone I know and will definitely be repeating a trip here in the future.
