Aloha and welcome to Beachside Poipu Hale which has been a part of our family for the past 40+ years. It served as home until hurricane Iniki paid a visit in 1992 and left us with a pile of rubble and lots of fond memories. I departed the island to regroup and rebuild. Hale Koali, the front home, was rebuilt in 1994 and has been a Kauai vacation rental since that time.  I returned to Kauai in 2002 and built the back house, Hale Pua, which was home until 2006 when we decided to give my guests more space and moved to the high country of Kalaheo. The front home (Hale Koali) was sold in 2017 as age is catching up with us. Needed a break and funds to cover “retirement”.

I am thankful to the many, many Beachside Poipu great guests that have become our friends over the years and the wonderful experiences shared as a result of the extended Beachside Poipu Hale family.  As caretakers of this wonderful piece of Kauai , I look forward to making your Hawaii vacation experience the most enjoyable and memorable ever.

The Property

Beachside Poipu now is just the rear home…Hale Pua (Flower in Hawaiian) and features the  Hibiscus and Seaside  suites. The Hibiscus master suite and Seaside studio are air conditioned.  These suites are great for 2 couples traveling together but prefer separate suites for those private moments .

There is a shared gas grill on the shared patio area for use of both Hibiscus and Seaside Suites,  laundry facilities and wireless internet  are available at no charge to the guests. There is on-site parking and a garden patio perfect for tanning or jut sipping a mai-tai. All suites are tastefully decorated – Hawaiian style – and have every amenity needed for a carefree stay.

The Location

With Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach just steps away, Beachside Poipu is the perfect place to enjoy your Kauai honeymoon, wedding, reunion, or just vegging.  Located on Kauai ‘s sunny south shore, Poipu is renowned for its world class beach and the best weather on Kauai .   For the keiki’s, there is Poipu Beach Park featuring a protected beach area, cushioned playground with bars, swings, slides and more as well as life guards. Waiohai Beach  is a short stroll down a beach path and offers a great surf break for surfers or wannabes surfers as instruction is available along with boards.

Sandwiched between the Sheraton Hotel and Marriott’s Waiohai Resort to the west and The Grand Hyatt Resort to the east, Beachside Poipu is minutes away from championship golf either at the Poipu Bay Golf course on the grounds of the Grand Hyatt or the Kiahuna Golf and Tennis Club. Several hotel restaurants are within easy walking distance via beach paths or across the resort grounds. The Poipu Shopping Center features great restaurants – Keoki’s and Roy’s as well as local specialties – Puka Dog for awesome hot dogs and Poipu Grill for burgers with attitude. Several art galleries and shops are also within the shopping center. A short drive will get you to Spouting Horn or Mahaulepu if solitude and scenery are on the agenda.
