Wonderful stay with family
Our family had three generations staying in this lovely, spacious house. Great for sunrises and sunsets on the balconies, cooking meals together in the well-equipped kitchen, dinner on the deck, and games inside. Short walks along the green belt to Brennecke’s and Poipu as well as Shipwreck Beach, with a nice assortment of beach gear available to borrow. Management was very helpful and responsive. It was a wonderful stay!

Newly redecorated-need to update photos/bed info
The house included everything needed for three generations to have a great day at the beach! Wagon, beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards and beach chairs! Cooking in the kitchen was a pleasure as most things needed to do so we’re included ( knives were dull though …) I would suggest that the photos be updated on the website as the furniture has been changed and the bed configurations in each room didn’t necessarily match up with the descriptions. The grounds of the resort are lovely and it’s a fairly reasonable 10 minute walk to either the pool or the beach.

Gorgeous and Very Functional House for Family Reunion
This gorgeous house worked so well for 2 families of our family reunion group (and could work for 3 families just as well). The house was represented very well by the online photos and did not disappoint in any way. The three master bedroom suites with lanai's were separated nicely to allow for quiet and privacy from each other when needed; and the suite which had the lanai room enclosed and outfitted with bunk beds was fabulous (and cost saving) for our cousin, her husband and two children. All of us were extremely comfortable and there was so much room in the perfectly outfitted upstairs living area with lanai. With lots of windows and french doors, the house stayed nice and cool (even though we stayed in August - September) and gave us that perfect Hawaiian vacation ambiance. The kitchen was superbly outfitted with everything we needed for making our own meals. Garden Island Rentals was so attentive and checked in with us regularly, even though we had no problems or concerns; we highly recommend this house and Garden island Rentals.

Good location, suited our needs
Good location for walking to nearby beaches and hiking trails. Breezes on upper level was good, but everyone used A/C in the bedrooms. Immediate minor problem with ants which was addressed by our cleaning more fully and wiping down (out) ant trails. Identified early on that driveway motion light was nonfunctional (safety issue) and damaged screens. Later identified that refrigerator water filter needed to be replaced. Texts were responded to quickly, but no action was taken over the nearly three weeks we occupied the rental. Lots of odds and ends in the garage for vacation use, but some were nonfunctional and could be eliminated.

Wonderful house
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, easy walk to several beaches, wonderful house for six adults. We had a great week! Lots of space to hang out together. A few negatives: the dishwasher broke early in the week and wasn't fixed. Having to constantly wash and dry dishes by hand for so many people took a lot away from our free time. I know that seems like a minor detail, but it was not what we expected to do on an expensive vacation. The mattresses weren't very comfortable (but different people like different beds, so that could just be our personal preferences), but the main complaint was a lack of insulation between floors. We had to tip-toe around if anyone was sleeping. Overall, though, it's a wonderful spot to spend a week with family. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

12 day stay in Feb
The resort community was beautiful with paths throughout the neighborhoods and to beaches and pool. We enjoyed our mornings walks watching the whales and turtles. The home is a little dated. The floor plan was great with plenty of space for the 9 of us. Be aware that the 2 front sleeping porches are screened only . We had 2 pretty strong wind/rain storms and everything in those rooms got damp. The occupants were moved to the couches, but all was good. There were no pantry staples ie salt, pepper, spices, oil, etc of any kind. Other than that, the kitchen plenty of cooking and tableware. The sheets/blankets/towels were nice as well as the beach toys and chairs. Some of beds were not very comfortable according to my family. I slept in the king and it was ok. We enjoyed our stay and all the sights. Best finds: Kiahuna Beach, Koloa Zipline & Kauai Hindu Monastery. Looking forward to visiting Kauai again.

Just. Wow.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I stayed at the absolutely gorgeous home this past week, and it was just so simply awesome. It’s located in this lush green neighborhood that is even a joy to drive in and out of. The whole second floor is completely re-done and modern (not what the photos show), I imagine the bottom floor is soon to be redone as well. The garage is very spacious and fully stocked with boogie boards, pool noodles, snorkel gear, water shoes, beach towels, a wagon, cooler, kids beach toys. All the bedrooms have their own AC unit which is nice. The living room/lounging area doesn’t have AC, however the large fan there seems to move air around well...AND, if you open all the windows and patio doors in the living room, this AMAZING breeze flows through and it was seriously relaxing. The home is walking distance from Shipwreck Beach, and a very short drive to Poipu Beach, shops, restaurants, coffee, etc.The property managers were great and responsive. You will definitely not regret your stay here...dreaming of when we can stay here again!

Family Fun for Grandparents, Adult Children, and Grandchildren!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had the most incredible vacation ever! The Kai Nui was beautiful and a perfect location! We loved having the lanai's where we spent time visiting and relaxing. A huge bathroom for each of the three bedrooms was a nice luxury. A fully stocked kitchen was great for keeping meal costs reasonable. We had breakfasts at the house,and made picnic lunches for many of the days. However, you need to eat out some meals because there are amazing restaurants, and food trucks with delicious meals. Be sure to check out Puka Dog by the beach! The grandsons loved Brennecke Beach and spent hours boogie boarding. We also spent a lot of time snorkeling as a family. Our favorite was Lawai Beach. Some of the beaches are within walking distance, and the Greenway is perfect for walking to them. The home was so well equipped for everything! ALL of our beach equipment was provided and so appreciated. We did rent some snorkel equipment, because we needed some different sizes, it was very reasonable. Clean, safe, excellent location, everything we could want in a rental home. Thank you for helping us make such precious family memories and sharing your home!

Week in Kauai
The house was a wonderful home base for all of our adventures. We ate several meals and most breakfasts there. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanais. We loved walking on the paths to the coffee shop at the Hyatt, to watch the sunrise, to Poipu beach to swim/snorkel/watch the sunset n turtles, and to the pool. We enjoyed the restaurant right next to the pool. We admired all the beautiful flowers and plumeria trees along our walks. My son was so excited there was a lime tree in the back yard.

Family vacay
We had a wonderful time at Kai Nui. There were 8 of us total, 4 adults, 2 kids, and 2 teenagers. The pictures and description were accurate. The home was very clean and the island breeze was lovely with all of the windows open. The lanai was a great place to have a morning cup of coffee. The available beach gear was nice to have, although the umbrellas all could be replaced as they were either broken or barely functioning. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we would stay here again. Mahalo!
