About this apartment rental


Welcome to your peaceful Poipu Beach retreat The Palm House — a perfectly located, ground-floor walkout condo just a short 3-minute stroll through lush, tropical gardens to the shoreline. Set in one of the most walkable and convenient areas of Poipu, this home offers a calm, breezy atmosphere with easy access to everything you need for a relaxing and memorable Kauai getaway.

Poipu Beach lies on Kauai’s sunny south shore and is one of the island’s most family-friendly beaches. The clear, gentle water and natural sandbar create a shallow, kid-friendly swimming area, while two crescent-shaped bays offer great snorkeling, boogie boarding, and surfing. It’s also one of the best places on the island to spot wildlife—monk seals and sea turtles are frequently seen right on the sand.

Your condo is one of the few in the area equipped with two air-conditioning units, a rare and welcome perk that keeps the entire space cool and comfortable. From your private patio, step straight onto beautifully manicured gardens that lead to the beach, resort amenities, and the heart of Poipu’s coastline.

Inside, the unit is designed for relaxation, featuring stainless steel appliances, a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedding, and an upgraded TV with a soundbar. The atmosphere stays quiet and peaceful, tucked away from foot traffic, with soft island breezes flowing throughout the space.

A short, scenic walk along tropical pathways brings you to one of Poipu’s most loved beaches. Snorkel right off the shore and watch sea turtles glide by, book a surf lesson at the on-site surf school, or rent surfboards, paddleboards, and boogie boards directly from the property. Snorkel sets and kayaks are available nearby, giving you access to endless ocean adventures—no car required.

The location is unbeatable. Poipu Beach and Kiahuna Beach are both just a quick five-minute walk away. The beach hut offers complimentary chairs and towels, and you can easily sign up for surf lessons if you’re in the mood for something new.

To make beach days effortless, the condo comes stocked with two Tommy Bahama chairs, an umbrella, snorkel gear, a cooler, boogie boards, a beach blanket, and water toys—everything you need for fun on the sand, whether you stay on-site or explore the island.

Guests receive free access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club, located right across the street. It offers a resort-style pool with a waterslide, a sand-bottom kids area, a hot tub, a full gym, pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, plus yoga classes, shuffleboard, water aerobics, and an on-site restaurant and bar. It’s a fantastic place to relax and play during your stay.

Dining is another highlight of this location. Many of Kauai’s top-rated restaurants are within walking distance—including The Beach House (famous for oceanfront sunsets), Red Salt, Keoki’s Paradise, Merriman’s Fish House, and Eating House 1849—along with local favorites like Little Fish Coffee, Kauai Juice Co., Starbucks, and Puka Dog. Several luau experiences are nearby as well, with Aulii Luau on the beach being the closest.

You’ll also be in a convenient hub for exploring Kauai’s most iconic spots. Poipu’s sea turtle viewing, Spouting Horn, Lawai Beach, and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens are just minutes away. Adventure seekers will enjoy quick access to the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail, Nā Pali Coast boat tours from Port Allen, scenic waterfalls such as Wailua Falls, and the stunning lookouts in Waimea Canyon. Helicopter tours are nearby in Lihue, and even the North Shore and Hanalei Bay are easily reachable via a beautiful coastal drive.

Guests consistently rave about the comfort and convenience of this condo. The ground-floor walkout makes coming and going simple—no stairs, easy unloading, and direct access to the gardens. The double A/C units provide cool relief when desired, while the walkable location near beaches, restaurants, shops, and coffee makes every day effortless. On-site management is available for check-in, check-out, cleanings, and support throughout your stay.

This unit offers the perfect combination of relaxation, convenience, natural beauty, and resort-style amenities—an ideal home base for your Kauai experience. True Resort-Level Ease

Absolute Paradise in Poipu — We Didn’t Want to Leave!If you’re debating whether to book this condo, stop looking and book it. It was everything we hoped Kauai would be.The condo was spotless, comfortable, beautifully cared for, and the AC was amazing after a day in the Kauai sun. Being ground floor was a huge bonus—we loved stepping off the patio into the tropical gardens and having our morning coffee with the birds and breeze.The location is incredible. We snorkeled every morning just down the beach with sea turtles, watched gorgeous sunsets, and even learned to surf at Kauai Surf School right on the property. Walking out of the condo and minutes later catching waves in the Pacific felt surreal.Some of the island’s best restaurants are within walking distance, making dinner and drinks incredibly easy.We also loved the Athletic Club, especially the yoga classes and amazing indoor/outdoor gym. Meditating by the beach to the sound of the waves was unforgettable. I left feeling genuinely rejuvenated, peaceful and full of joy.We spent the first half of our trip on the North Shore getting rained on nearly every day. Arriving in sunny Poipu felt like a different island. If I did it again, I’d stay here the entire trip and drive north for a day or two when the weather cooperates.This quickly felt like our little home in Kauai. If it’s available, grab it. We’re already dreaming about coming back.

We had a great stay! Great access to restaurants, the beach, and a very comfortable spot to call home for a week.

This is a lovely property. It was very roomy for just the two of us. The kitchen was very nicely equipped & had everything we needed. There is AC but we just used the ceiling fans. The lanai is REALLY beautiful. We sat out there any time we were at the condo. The birdsong is just amazing! And the huge garden is right there as well. Communication with the host is super fast and helpful. We also found a geocache in the garden!
