Great location, quiet with wonderful sounds of natural Hawaii around us.. good bird watching as well. Thanks for the experience!

Poipu Crater #23 was well-situated, clean, and has a washer and dryer (you need to look behind the 1st level bathroom door). We pretty much lived in the coolest room of the house- the top floor air conditioned bedroom. The living room and patio were too warm to tolerate (maybe it had to do with the time of year we traveled (8/17-8/24). The community pool was great- very refreshing!

This location was in a beautiful location, someone mentioned some of the feral roosters some nights crows consistently at 2 am at night. It didn't bother me too much, but it's nice to be in the middle of nature. Everything was spotless and loved that there were kitchen appliances and tool readily available. My only complaint is that the walls are very thin. I can hear normal conversations from the adjacent wall and the baby whimpering in the middle of the night. It wasn't too bad, but it made me realize if I can hear noise at such a low volume I should be super quiet as well.

Good feel of Aloha at unit.

The unit was quiet and clean, close to businesses. Definite feel of being in Hawaii.

Great stay. We appreciated the privacy of our little corner condo and would return here over a resort any day.

We had a Wonderfull time here. The house is nice and clean. There are vents everywhere, during the day it can get warm indoors but at night the cool wind blows through so in the morning the house is cool enough. We really enjoyed that there were beach items in the house to use, this makes it a lot easier to travel because you don't have to bring all that.

Had an amazing stay! The place was a bigger than expected. Clean. Best part short walks to Poipu beach where we watched turtles in the morning. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Po’ipu Crater was lovely. From booking the reservations to directions to the condo was made very easy. The resort is quiet and beautifully maintained. The condos are comfortable and well stocked with almost everything one would need for worry free vacation. The WiFi and AC were also much appreciated by my family of 8, ranging in age from 7 to 83. Also, the staff is extremely helpful and responds immediately to questions and in a timely manner to address any maintenance issues. I have stayed in a number of different Parrish properties and have found this to be the case every time for many years.

Poipu Crater Resort #23

Stayed here with my girlfriend and her two sons. Decent place with basic kitchen, nice lanai, and fairly short drive to beaches and local towns. We were here in July. The bedrooms have air conditioning, the rest of the townhouse just fans, fairly typical for Hawai'i. The place can get a bit hot and stuffy, being in a crater. The upstairs bedroom suite is somewhat open to the entryway so much of the cool air from the air conditioner just goes down there and is wasted. The home has uninsulated clear story ceilings which heat up from the sun and typical Hawaiian/tropics style louvered windows. Maybe it's not as bad in the winter. If you are not used to the heat, consider alternatives. The current old wifi router was unable to deliver a steady signal to the bedrooms. That seems like an easy fix for the homeowner to take care of. The management acted professionally and responsive to questions. The neighborhood is well-maintained and nice and quiet.

Mahalo Eric for your review and comments. We will check into replacing the router as it sounds like it is needed. Our apologies. We will also pass on your comments about the AC to the owner. Mahalo and we look forward to hosting you and your family again soon. Aloha

Lovely two bedroom condo, all the things you will need. Quiet location at the end of the driveway , surrounded by trees so no other units nearby other than the one next door. We didn’t try the pool but it looked nice and well kept. Randomly met the owners, lovely people!

Mahalo Rachel for your 5-star review and comments.  We are so happy you enjoyed the peaceful Poipu Crater 23. We are already looking forward to hosting your next stay. Aloha and a hui hou.

Parrish was super responsive to any questions and made sure that we had everything that we needed for our stay.

Mahalo Dennis for your 5-star review! We are glad that our team was about to help out during your stay.  We cannot wait to host you again soon!

You are actually in a crater! Most of the other resorts are bigger with lots of units more or less on top on one another. Although the chance of having a view of the ocean is much better. I knew I would be spending most of my time in Hawaii immersed in a view so that did not matter to me. It’s nice to leave the hubbub of a resort area like this and retreat to a quiet place like the crater. The unit I stayed in #23 was very secluded almost enveloped by the trees and shrubs so you saw nothing of the little patio except a tree. It was almost a little cave like. I assume the unit next door #24 is the same way. The place could use some updates, especially the bathrooms but the furniture looked pretty new, as did the carpet. Needed better lighting to brighten the place up. The beds were awesome!! Super thankful for that after numerous long days of hiking. The unit provided boogie boards and fins and one super good mask/snorkel combination. They had two umbrellas and one large hard cooler. We left the soft cooler that we brought as well. The area in the winter had great surfing, boogie boarding and snorkeling in the public bay right of the shallow water where the parents and toddlers hang out. It doesn’t look like much but I was blown away!! So many beautiful fish! I saw an eel as well and a 5 foot pencil nose. If you snorkel definitely try it! Also in this area turtles and Monk seals come up to rest on the beach, so cool. The turtles are huge. The pool was secluded and super cool don’t know if it ever gets used, but I hung out there at night and watched the stars. Never did see the sauna but assumed it was in the pool house bathroom building. The management was totally on top of communication and the check in/check out process. They were fast to respond to me when I had any questions. Poipu is gorgeous!!!

Mahalo LeAnne for your review and comments.  We are happy that you enjoyed the peaceful and secluded Poipu Crater #23. Thank you for noticing the updated furniture.  The owner has been making updates over time.  We will be sure to share your feedback about the bathrooms.   It sounds like you had an amazing time snorkeling and enjoying everything Kauai has to offer.  We look forward to hosting you again soon.  Aloha!

Quiet, secluded play to stay in Poipu. Great big lanai with a cool tree shape shading that area. AC in the bedrooms was appreciated for sleeping. Plenty of room in the unit for kids/anyone to have some quiet/alone time. Stocked with beach essentials, very nice! You do have to walk 10 min (or so) to get to the beach if that is an issue for some. Great area, more of neighborhood feel vs resort feel. Within the Poipu and Koloa (3 miles away) area, there are markets and good restaurants (try Le'Ahi Health in Koloa for farm-to-table vegan food and awesome smoothies..even if you're not a vegan/whole-food/plant-based/blah-blah, go for the taste, you won't regret it).

Fabulous place close to beaches. Located in the crater of an extinct volcano, it is tucked away from some of the larger properties. Beach towels and beach stuff is provided. Great kitchen to prepare meals in and the lanai is beautiful.

Sharyn, Los Angeles, CA says

This place was pretty spacious with laundry and ac in the bedrooms. It did get hot in the living room which also is the only room with semi-working WiFi. No phone reception or WiFi at all in the bedrooms which made it very hard to work. In walking distance to poipu beach and Hyatt but def recommend having a car.
Mahalo Sharyn for your review and comments. We are happy that you enjoyed the spacious unit and the AC. Thanks again for your patience while we addressed the wi-fi and we are glad that our team was able to fix it during your stay. We agree, Poipu Crater is a great spot in the middle of Poipu and we look forward to hosting you again soon. Aloha!

Quiet!

A little tired. Poor lighting at night to identify condo. Kitchen very cramped. Lovely lanai. Landscaping beautiful.
Mahalo Linda for your review and comments. We rate this unit as a “Deluxe” with the definition of “…updated within the past ten years” so to set expectations. We are sorry for any confusion. The good news this owner has been working hard upgrading the unit. A new kitchen, new furniture and more to come. Aloha.

Beautiful location, lovely setting!

We had a fabulous time on Kauai! Poipu Crater is in a great location for the beach and we were nicely surprised that the fans kept the rooms cool upstairs. We were fortunate to have the trade winds blowing for most of our stay! The walls are pretty thin, however, we only had a couple of nights where that was an issue, the washer is incredibly loud and the dishwasher needs to be run on their settings. They have lovely toiletry products for the beach, a cozy bed and linens and a full compliment of kitchen utensils.
Mahalo Nancy for your review and comments. We will check the washer and dishwasher to ensure all is okay, thanks for letting us know. In the future, please let us know while you are in house such that we may address any issues. We apologize for any inconvenience. Aloha.

A very unique opportunity to live in a lush tropical Crater!

The house was well laid out and cozy. Every cooking implament was provided and there is a locker full of beach equipment. We enjoyed sunning at poolside and swimming some laps. We especially enjoyed spending time time on the lanai. It is as good as the picture suggests with lots of birds and tropical plant life.

Very nice. My sister was freaked out over the spider webs. It wasn’t a big deal to me. Very beautiful place and surroundings.

Aucune ventilation ni air climatisé, docn impossible de dormir s'il fait chaud en été

Condo muni de l’équipement de base, sans plus. Meubles vraiment défraîchis. Coin tranquille, isolé. Nous aurions pu apprécier notre semaine mais le gros problème a été la température de la maison le soir et la nuit. 38 degrés Celsius (100 degrés Fahrenheit) presque toute la semaine dans la mezzanine! Pas d’air climatisé et les ventilateurs sans aucun effet puisqu’il n’y a pas de circulation d’air où est situé le condo. Le vent n’entre jamais par les fenêtres. Donc impossible d’utiliser le lit de mezzanine pour dormir. Obligé de dormir dans le salon. L’autre chambre au rez-de chaussée et le salon avaient une température de 35 degrés Celsius (95 degrés Farhenheit) durant toute la semaine. Sommeil très difficile… Donc je recommande peut-être ce condo en hiver mais pas en été, à moins que vous aimiez la chaleur suffocante.
Merci pour votre avis. Vous avez raison, les tropiques peuvent se réchauffer pendant les mois d’été. À l’avenir, nous vous suggérons de rester dans l’une de nos nombreuses unités climatisées. La plupart du temps, les métiers fournissent un soulagement de la chaleur, mais nous comprenons parfois qu’ils s’arrêtent. Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour tout inconvénient.

The condo was private and we were comfortable. It was really hot in the upstairs bedroom however.

Loved the lanai.

Comforts of home tucked away from the hustle & bussle

I have been to Hawaii several times including the island of Kauai and absolutely love this island! It feels like my home away from home. On this trip I got to bring my boyfriend and my goddaughter & bestie that just graduated from high school. None of them have ever been to Hawaii before and their expectations where blown away with how comfortable, beautiful and quiet our property was! We loved that Brennecke Beach (awesome beach for snorkeling and spotting sea bound animals) was within a short walk from the property Throughout the reservation process and during our stay communicating with the staff was awesome! Because we were arriving at our vacation rental after business hours they graciously delivered our room key & Welcome Packet to our car rental company which was there waiting for us when we arrived. You can best believe that we highly recommend Poipu Crater and The Parrish Collection for anyone looking to travel to Kauai and for our future stays on the Island!

Great Place

We arrived late and the lights were on to welcome us-very nice so you don’t feel you might be walking into the wrong place. Everything was spotlessly clean! There was coffee for the next morning and all the convinces for us to use. Information was layed out on the counter about the Crater, areas around (we have been to Kauai 27 or so times but still nice to check out) and places to eat. Our neighbor was wonderful and such a sweet person (also, we found out later, the owner of our unit). Great place to stay with wonderful grounds and a large swimming pool.

Peaceful Retreat

We enjoyed the relaxing rental. It was quiet and peaceful, yet close to the beach and other attractions. After a busy day at the beach or sight seeing, it was a pleasure to come back and enjoy the comfortable accomodations. We also used the pool and outdoor grill. It’s a great place for a family vacation!
