The Catbird Seat -Closest Vacation Home To Poipu Beach - 100 Ft Away!!! Pool!!

The Catbird Seat private paradise home is the closest location to Poipu Beach and Brennecke Beach of ANY vacation rental. 2 Bedrooms sleep 4. Your choice of twin beds or a King in the 2nd bedroom.

This ideal spot is just across from the world famous Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach Park. It is located on the corner of Hoone and Kuai Rd so just step across to the beach and beach park!

With its lovely island style furnishings, lush tropical gardens and exquisite ocean views over a small beach frontage road, this home offers a true paradise for your Kauai vacation. From your front covered lanai, watch the boogie boarders, whales, turtles, and dolphins. Then step across the road and you are there! Beach towels, umbrella, cooler, and chairs are provided.

The small tropical garden front yard gives you just enough privacy while relaxing in your private hot tub, yet preserving your ocean view while dining or relaxing on the full length lanai.

Amenities in this 1400sf home (plus 830sf of lanai) include private driveway parking, air conditioning, two spacious bedrooms with baths, a large great room, kitchen with eating bar, washer/dryer, outdoor shower, and stunning IPE wood flooring throughout.

Enjoy big screen HDTV , WiFi, two large walk-in showers, and a BBQ on the back lanai.

You have member privileges at the nearby Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Resort style swimming pool, tennis, basketball, weight room, fitness classes....included! Just a 15 minute walk away. Nothing is too good for our guests!

This home location can't be beat. Only 3 or 4 oceanfront homes in Poipu actually have a beachfront. Then try to find a restaurant/deli/bar or stores just a short walk away! No problem from here! The Poipu Beach Park lifeguard station is a three minute walk away where you can swim, watch sea turtles at the baby beach, and also experience some of the best snorkeling on the island. Brennecke's beach front restaurant is a two minute walk away -where ocean view dining and happy hour is only surpassed by The Catbird Seat!

No check-in Dec 25 or Jan 1.

For a less spendy stay, view our other listing - VRBO# 379158 for a deluxe condo at Nihi Kai Villas -just down the street.

You will receive an e-mail 3 days prior to check-in which will include maps, keylock codes, and other info you will find useful during your stay.

Your quote from vrbo will include tax of 4.19% State GET, 10.25% State TAT, 3% County TAT, .52% County Get on Room rate and fees.

Most Beautiful View!
Very nice property right across from the beach. Just beware of the Roosters, they start about 2:30am and continue throughout the morning. After about the third day all we could do is laugh about them. It got us up early to enjoy the most amazing walks! Just a few things that would make it even more enjoyable, the kitchen appliances really need a good cleaning or replacement. The coffee pot definitely needs to be replaced. The second bedroom bed when put together should really have a topper so you don't fall thru when you are in the middle. Don't shut the bedroom doors when you go to bed, the air conditioners are only in the bedroom and the living area will get very warm. Of course this is when the weather is warm, which for Oct was a surprise, it was very warm still. You will enjoy how close you are to everything here, so if you don't have a car, you will still get around. I can't wait to return to Kauai!!!

Great for our family with teens!
I am so happy we went with this location. I was worried about the parking in front for the beach but they have built the garden in a way that it is not annoying and still feels very private. You can't even tell people are there most of the time! The house had everything we needed and I liked the rooms being on different sides of the house so the teens had their own space. We loved having the variety of the best beaches in walking distance and the wagon made it so easy to get the gear down to the beach. I would definitely stay here again if going to Poipu!

We Love The Cat Bird Seat!
We really loved staying here. The house met our needs completely. The location is unbeatable. The view is incredible. The beach is mere steps away. Too often places have too few towels, too few place settings, etc. This was NOT a problem here. Everything about this house feels generous, including the access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Our kids lived in the pool when they weren’t in the ocean. We would love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

Amazing, Again!
This was our second stay at this property, and it was as delightful as the first time. This place has everything I look for in a vacation rental, including an amazing location, a well-equipped kitchen, comfy beds, good water pressure in the shower, and lots of beach gear.

Best VRBO in Kauai!!!
This house is the best place we have ever stayed in!!! Everything was perfect inside and out! We loved being right across from the beach and a few blocks from restaurants and turtles! The yard was amazing and kept the porch clocked from the road and passersby. We loved sitting in the porch and feeling like we were sitting on the beach but with all the conveniences of home! I would rent this home every time! I can’t say enough about the location and quality of this house! One room has a king and the other two single beds. Keep that in mind so you can ask them to put them together if needed. This house could not be better! Thanks for offering it on VRBO, it made our trip!!!!

The location of this house is great. The pictures in the listing are accurate - it is right across the road from a beach and has water views from the deck. The house has everything you need to cook but there are also a few places you can walk to for meals. We really enjoyed sitting on the back deck with the amazing view.

Perfect Beach House & Location
My husband, son, & I loved this location and the house layout. I loved having the A/C as an option for those extra hot days when unpacking or getting ready. We stayed in Oahu near Diamond Head then on the North Shore of Kauai at Hanalei Bay and this house was our fav. Just our style and vibe. Love the deck and outdoor shower area. Appreciated the beach chairs and other accessories. Owner was responsive, helpful, and made check in and out very convenient. Do recommend and would love to stay again.

Ocean views & sounds from Lanai
This property is all about location and setting. You will love being right across from the ocean and Poipu beach. the large lanai with hot tub is where we spent most of our time. the front garden is full of flowering trees that hide the road but allow views of the ocean. the interior is pleasant and the kitchen was stocked appropriately for cooking at the house. this was our favorite property of all 5 we stayed at during our trip.

We’ll be back!
We’ve stayed in a half dozen locations around Poipu over the years, and this was our favorite. The location was ideal, facing the ocean but still protected from the afternoon sun. The floor plan worked really well for maximum privacy between the two bedrooms. We loved being about to watch the ocean, either when sitting in bed or when sitting on the amazing (covered) lanai. We also appreciated the lovely outdoor shower and the generous array of beach gear.
