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.

Great stay at a perfect location

Property as described, the whole house and an excellent lanai overlooking the ocean - which you really can see (easily) and it takes 30 sec to walk to the beach. Outdoor shower is great for keeping sand out of the house. Fast wifi, sounds of surf all the time, and easy to get to the shops in Poipu/Koloa. Make sure to stop at Da Crack!

Comfortable home in great location!

We have just returned from an 11-night stay at The Catbird Seat and had a great time! The home is exactly as pictured and in an ideal location for enjoying the park and nearby beaches. We enjoyed the sunset each night from the expansive lanai. We really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen as we prepared all of our meals at 'home', and though we didn't use them, appreciated all the beach stuff (umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, etc.) available for our use. Communication with the host prior to our stay was easy, and though we had no need to contact her, we were given contact info for a local person who could help with any problems should they arise.

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.

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!

Our stay was wonderful and the home is spectacular. They have provided everything needed for a stay

We have two rental properties listed with VRBO on the coast of Maine and came away from our stay with many ideas for our rental properties. You are provided everything you could want to ensure a most enjoyable beach side vacation while staying in a spectacular home.

Family Vacation

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.

Our stay in Poipu

This property is beautiful! It is clean and very well equipped. We stayed there with another couple watching whales from the beautiful lanai. We grilled and ate at home a few nights. There is plenty of room, a parking spot in the driveway, and it's very private. I am recommending it to my friends and hope to return there myself!

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!

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.

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.

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.
