Very tidy. Uncluttered.

Our stay has been great - our host is kind and responsive - location is great, you can easily navigate from here to all things Kauai - the accommodations are cozy and comfortable - evenings on the lanai under a sky lit up by full moon silhouetting the palm tree frond's accompanied by birds songs and a gentle breeze was lovely - beach gear is provided for spending time on the beach…So whatcha waitin for!?! The crater is calling ya!

The bedrooms were clean and good size. Kitchen had all the appliances and kitchen tools needed. Plenty of towels. Pool was a nice plus. I loved the lanai. Great for reading and sipping wine. Being close to Kalapaki Joe's made it perfect!

The VRBO was very clean and had all the supplies needed for a long weekend. Host was very attentive whenever something was needed. Would stay here again. Mahalo!

The location was very private and quiet, with easy access to the beach, local restaurants and attractions. We would have enjoyed better outdoor lighting when returning in the evening along the upper sidewalk. The home was outfitted with everything you could need during your stay. The beds were very comfortable. We appreciated the beach chairs, cooler and umbrella on our day trips. We enjoyed the lanai every morning listening to the birds and rustle of the trees in the breeze. We also found the pool refreshing and surrounding area to be very clean. Destination Kauai was very communicative and we have recommended this location to our friends. Would definitely stay again on our next trip to the beautiful island of Kauai.

Very well appointed place, which we appreciated! The breeze was lovely and we didn't miss having air conditioning. Quiet location close to Poipu beaches and within short drive to groceries. Pool was pleasant! Our family of four had plenty of space and we loved the airy upstairs bedroom. Communication with the hosts was prompt. Overall great!

Our stay at this location was greatly enjoyed and one of our favorites out of the 4 places we stayed during our vacation to several of the Hawaiian Islands. It was a beautiful space located amongst tropical plants and flowers. We woke every morning to the birds and crowing rooster (but he didn't bother us, it was just part of the ambiance.) The ceiling fans along with the trade winds kept our time in the condo cool and comfortable. There was ample space for our group and we were more than relaxed and happy to end our evenings in such a nice space. The bed and pillows were soft and cozy, typically I have a difficult time sleeping when away from home, but not here, I slept soundly. I also enjoyed being able to walk to Poipu beach every morning during my stay, definitely a highlight of the area. I would recommend anyone staying at this location to arrive during daylight hours, at least initially, as it makes it easier to locate. We had a wonderful stay at this location and would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay. Mahalo!

Great place to stay in Poipu! Condo had everything we needed - except A/C. I am sure it said it somewhere in the description but I missed it. It doesn't really cool down much, especially upstairs, so keep this in mind when booking. The crater area is beautiful and quiet! Enjoyed mornings on the porch!

We will stay here again. Loved the fact that it was not right in the tourist area. The times they stated to get to the beach were not correct if you were walking.

We loved this condo which was close to Poipu and the beach! Everything was clean, nice furniture, wonderful deck, and great kitchen and necessities! We would definitely come back again. Thanks so much!

This is a nice clean comfortable unit with a beautiful well sheltered lanai that gets the morning sun, wonderful breakfast spot. We didn’t realize when we booked it but the name does hint at the fact that you are really in a crater. The turn off the street into the complex drops probably about 30 feet to your parking spot, then there is maybe 12-15 foot climb back up the sidewalk to get to the unit. We are able bodied so it wasn’t that big of a deal but we had planned on doing a little more walking from the unit to the beaches and shops. We ended up driving most places instead. This unit is pretty good value for your dollar I think with somewhat dated fixtures and furnishings but it was comfortable and functional. There was a shortage of Kleenex, garbage bags and no sink stopper for the kitchen sink and it seems the towels had been put away while still damp by the cleaners before our stay, so those were down points but all around we were quite satisfied.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at crater 26! The house was just as listed. We arrived to a clean, bright and spacious place to call home for a week. We had everything we needed in the kitchen for cooking as well as cleaning. There was plenty of laundry soap and towels. We appreciated the extra box fans to help circulate that warm Hawai’i air. The upstairs (master) room was very spacious with a comfortable king bed and beautiful furnishings. We didn’t use the downstairs bedroom as it was just the two of us, but that was a beautifully made room as well. The pool area was a wonderful quiet and clean space to lounge in the sun and read. The loungers were very nice and the layout provided plenty of personal space. Check in/check out was easy. Thank you Jeremy for providing a wonderful home away from home for our week long kid free vacation. Would recommend crater 26 to friends and family if planning a visit to Kaua’i!

Everything about this unit was amazing.. its perfectly located on top of the crater where you get a cool breeze in the afternoons and nights that keeps it nice and cool..a short walk to many beaches and restaurants and the pool is a perfect place to unwind and take a dip..only issue we had is with the HOA’s wife, she’s very quick to call you out and judge you, even if it was someone else that does something..she’s quick to make it awkward..other than her, it’s a great place, just don’t sneeze to loud, you’ll get in trouble

No ac needed with the beautiful trade winds! Some hills to tackle but only .6 miles to Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach. Nice walking path around the corner connected us to these beaches or Shipwreck Beach the other direction. We had everything we needed for our stay provided at this nice condo.

10.0 / 10.0

The location is perfect! A quick run to Costco isn't too far away, and beautiful beaches are only a short walk or drive. We really enjoyed the beach chairs, boards and snorkel gear in the condo. Peaceful and quiet meals out on the lanai were a relaxing part of our trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted. Would absolutely stay here again!

We enjoyed our visit, thanks. Here are some suggestions: -- Include a set of instructions/helpful info about the rental, including operation of electronics, recycling, places to get groceries, restaurant recommendations, etc. -- Add a bath mat next to the upstairs tub (as-is, the one in vanity must be moved there) -- Add towel bars or hooks to wall(s) near the upstairs tub -- Include more toilet tissue in the rental -- Add soap or body wash to the upstairs tub -- Add fan above the table in the dining area -- Replace the circular table in dining area with a rectangular one (as-is, there's not enough room for someone to get around it if three people are seated in the chairs nearest the living room -- Relabel the light switches that currently say "Lamps" (they didn't seem to control anything; at least, we couldn't figure it out) -- Add a first-aid kit (maybe we missed?) Should be mentioned in the house instructions -- see first suggestion above. Thanks!

Property was as described. May be the time of year but was warm even with the ceiling fans. Would not recommend for older people,we are on our 70's, as the walk leading up to the unit is steep and has several steps which make getting the luggage in the unit difficult. The pictures do not show the elevation difference between the parking area and the entrance to the unit. Great place for younger people.

This was a great place for my family to enjoy the island. Everything was clean and fit our needs perfectly. It's conveniently located to Poipu Beach and other beautiful beaches for scuba diving and snorkeling.

8.0 / 10.0

Yes it's in a crater. Did not expect the long and steep walkway from parking lot to condo. I walk with a cane, was not easy. Condo itself was nice, 3 levels, more stairs, Had an issue with upstairs shower door, does not roll very well. No A/C but not needed. The outside gardens and the quiet seclusion is very relaxing.

10.0 / 10.0

We loved the location of this property. It was a short walk to the beach. The rest of the island was within a reasonable car ride. Restaurants nearby were excellent. We liked that there were boogie boards, chairs, and an umbrella to use on the beach. And access to the tennis court was fun for my kids. There were a couple of minor problems with the condo that were promptly taken care of once I got in touch with the proprietor. I would definitely recommend this place for a family of four.

A beautiful home in a lovely and well maintained garden complex. This property was the perfect size for two adult couples (late 30s) vacationing in Kauai for 5 days. We were worried about not having AC, but at the end of April, the unit caught nice breezes that kept the rooms perfectly comfortable. A small portable fan would be most welcome in the downstairs bathroom, as it became uncomfortably humid and warm when showers and laundry were running with no means of circulating air with the door closed. We really appreciated the large beach towels and high quality bath towels. I never travel without earplugs and an eye mask, and I recommend them to anyone coming here who prefers perfect darkness and silence for sleeping. I can't speak for the loft bedroom, but the main floor bedroom did let in some (not too much) light in the morning, and the sounds of birds, roosters, and critters of the (beautiful!) gardens. Come prepared and you'll sleep just fine. The pool area is lovely - complete with 8ft pool, lounge chairs, grill, shaded tables/chairs and more stunning tropical flora. The residents we met were friendly and welcoming. The assigned parking stall made parking hassle free, and the location of the quite community was very convenient. This was our favorite location of the places we stayed on our 3-island vacation.

10.0 / 10.0

This stay was clean, quiet, spacious, and in a great location. Walking distance to several beaches and trails. So relaxing, I cannot say enough about it. It was the perfect place for my significant other and I, but would definitely work well for a small family, especially if you want kitchen amenities for cooking. The host was responsive to questions. We will definitely stay again in the future and will recommend to friends and family!

10.0 / 10.0

It's very jungley like. You can hear tons of birds and roosters. We loved it, some might not. It's a little uphill to get to the condo but not to bad. There's a pool, ping pong table and grills right outside the building. It's a short walk to the beach about 10 to 15 min. Short drive to shops and restaurants, about 5 min. We ould definitely stay there again. Uber is hard tonget around in. Rental car is strongly suggested.
