"Been to Hawaii many times and this was a great condo to stay at. Has everything you need and more. Very clean, close to activities, yet quite so you can relax. John was very easy to work with and provided me with all the details. Plan to stay here if available next time I visit Kauai." - mikemustello, 58403, 01/14/2012 (FlipKey Review)

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Poipu Crater during Christmas 2011. It is ideally located near all the best beaches on the island -- within walking distance. Listening to the wind through the open windows at night was delightful. Playing the variety of board games with our kids in the evening was also a highlight. We would definitely stay here again." - Tina C., Sammamish, WA, 01/11/2012 (FlipKey Review)

"We stayed at Poipu Crater # 20 in Kauai for two weeks during august 2011. The unit was well furnished; the kitchen recently renovated and the location very quiet and convienent. The unit included some snorkelling gear, flippers, a boogey board, two beach chairs and a sun umbrella. This unit is located in a ten acre (approximately) property and includes a tennis court, a pool and barbecue area. The gardens are well maintained with some banana plants, lime trees and various other tropical flowers. The main beach is less than two minutes away. Overall, we found the unit to be very good value in a quiet but convienent location. We have recommended this unit to our family and friends. Aloha" - Jon&Heejeung, Vancouver, British Columbia, 09/25/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"This condo was a major find! We will be back. Everything we needed was here, very clean, well maintained and really felt like our own tropical home. Poipu Crater is an amazing discovery that we found on Trip advisor. The resort is quiet, private, and just like having your own home. Very unique and truly Hawaiian. We loved the big pool surrounded by big old Plumeria trees and the giant lanai of this unit made it easy to live outside a lot of the time. The condo is light and bright and airy with an awesome kitchen and beautiful beds that were great to sleep in. Be advised that not all units are not remodeled and outfitted the same. We had some friends staying in a couple of other units, and they did not have the high quality and were not kept up like this unit at all. Everyone wanted to be in this unit the entire time! We were surprised to find ice chests, boogie boards, games, and a big screen TV. All added to a wonderful vacation. Thanks to John , the owner, for making it all easy too." - Mary, New York, 08/16/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"This Poipu Crater townhome was immaculate and the complex was quiet. Since we stayed there in late July, it was a little warm in the afternoon, but the trade winds cooled the home by evening. The grounds were gorgeous. There is much to see/do in the Poipu area including several beautiful beaches, Spouting Horn, botanical gardens, snorkeling, boogie boarding, kayaking,and surfing. We dined only informally, but enjoyed Huka Dog, Brick Oven Pizza, Bubba's, and Lappert's Ice Cream. Without reservation, I recommend this property and hope to stay there again someday. Thanks, John for sharing your fine home in a great place to vacation!" - backhomeinauburn, Auburn, AL, US, 08/15/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"This townhome was phenomenal. Thanks John for this vacation experience! What an unexpected pleasure. The website did not do justice to the amazing grounds and quiet tropical location. Not knowing Kauai, we felt very lucky to have stumbled across such a beautiful location close to all the Poipu beaches and restaurants. At night we could hear the sound of the crashing waves from the bedroom window and every morning there is a chorus of birds singing. We are walkers and there are plenty of ocean front paths easily reached from this location and there are beaches close to walk to. We were able to park the car in our own private stall right next to the condo which made all the loading and unloading easier than trekking to a parking lot. The condo was very clean and well appointed. The furnishings were all up to date and so beautiful. Not what you typically find in a condo rental. The large lanai worked out great for the 4 of us to eat our meals and relax. I don't think we ate inside once. The mattresses (and a king bed) were wonderful and a pleasure to sleep at night with the trade winds blowing. We would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking. The owner, John was also very easy to work with and easily reached." - worldtraveler, Boulder, Colorado, 08/15/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"Our stay here was wonderful! I can't think of anything we needed while in the home - everything was provided that we required for a perfect stay - it was peaceful, relaxing, and just what we were expecting, after viewing the listing photos. I would recommend to any friend or relative, knowing this property was clean, well-maintained, and has a very responsive owner. Staying in this area, you are a very short walk to the beach, and close to many great restaurants, golfing, hiking and other outdoor activities. We had a wonderful time, and hope to return soon!" - Eileen, Chicago, 03/31/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"We have stayed at this condo a number of times and always found it in great condition. The appliances including a large screen TV are all new, The condo complex has a very nice pool,tennis and club house .The grounds are very attractive with much mature plantings . It is a very quite and restful atmosphere. We particularly like the location. Just a few minutes walk to some of the nicest beaches on the island but far enough to avoid the bustle of the beach activity. I can not think of anyting we do not like" - Larry, Santa Barbara,CA, 03/15/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"This is our 15 stay in Kauai since 1991. So far in 2011, we have spent 6 of our 12 weeks in John's condo on Kauai, enjoying every day.The new king size bed in master bedroom is definitely a plus, as is the new lanai furniture. The condo has all the ammenities one needs plus more. Great views of the beautiful property, songs of the many local birds and many nice people staying nearby. We love it here." - Gayle & Jim, Lakewood WA, 03/15/2011 (FlipKey Review)

"We stayed twice at Poipu Crater, both times in this unit, and it is definitely paradise. The complex is unique, quiet and well maintained, a few minutes from the beach, hotels and some great restaurants but a world in itself where you are surrounded by beautiful birds and flowers. Very nice pool, tennis and clubhouse. The unit itself is clean, well-appointed, decorated in the island style and offers all you need for a perfect vacation. The best part for us though is the master bathroom on the second floor (very nice to have the two bedrooms on separate floors in case there is 4 of you). Waking up to the sound of birds and looking at the amazing bougainvillea facing the large window rivals with any 5 star hotels we stayed at. The large lanaii also became our living quarter, using it from dawn til dusk. It simply feels like the home everybody would want to have on Kauii. Thanks for sharing this little piece of heaven with us...We cannot wait to be back!" - Francois Leclair, Montreal, QC, 01/26/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"My family vacations often on Kauai and have stayed at Poipu Crater Resort before because we love the incredible tropical grounds and pool which are so peaceful and quiet. The Birds are amazing. This unit in particular is high up on the crater wall facing West. It gets the later day and evening sun and we loved sitting on the Lanai every night and having wine and dinner-watching the colors of the sunset in the sky. Everything about this condo has been meticuously thought of and it was in great condition. Truly a Hawaiian vacation. Kitchen is set up great if you are preparing some meals. Owners should be commended for creating such a wonderful rental experience. We will come back here again and try and get the same unit." - Anonymous, 01/24/10( HomeAwayConnect Guestbook Entry)

"Thanks so much John for helping make our vacation so wonderful! Poipu Crater is a magical place -- having such a well established gardens, and being in the crater sheltering us from the rest of the noise. The place is very well maintained and it was such a joy to be in a condo with tasteful and interesting furnishings and artwork, a well equipped kitchen and full sized laundry. Also walking to the beach was great and having beach chairs, towels and other equipment made us very comfortable! The absolute BEST part were the two Pokemon board games that we played about a million times. Our son thanks you for that." - Tamarmot, Oakland, CA, (VRBO Reviews)

"We stayed in this lovely townhouse and it is exactly as described with beautiful furnishings and decor, clean and well maintained, and it exceeded our expectations. We wish to thank John, the owner, who was very helpful, understanding and kind. We definitely will tell our friends and relatives to stay in this unit when they to travel to Kauai. Also, we recommend a trip to Koloa, which is just a few short miles, for good restaurants and shopping. We look forward to returning and staying in this beautiful townhouse again!" - John & Loretta, Lompoc, California, (VRBO Reviews)
