This was our second stay at Poipu Crater #20 and it certainly won’t be our last. If I detailed everything we like about this vacation rental and its location it would probably be the longest TA review ever written. Briefly—and that’s hard to do—PC20 is beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed. The surrounding grounds and greenery exude Hawaiian. And, c’mon, it’s in... More

We have leased villa 27 through Parrish properties. The online booking process was easy, Emails answered quickly, PayPal available to make payment. Very reasonable rate of $165/night. We booked the place anticipating a short drive to everything, so no surprises there. It is not a brand new property, but it is well maintained and clean. Beds are comfortable, would benefit... More

We went to Kauai to celebrate my birthday and our 25th anniversary. This resort seemed like a great place for us to stay since I wanted to be close to the beach but not hear the pounding surf. It was definitely peaceful and quiet except for the early morning when the birds went into full song. I especially liked the... More

My husband, brother-in-law and I stayed in unit #23. This unit needs some serious refreshing. The fan in the living room sparked and stopped working on the first day. There are bars preventing you form opening the living room vented windows. Carpets need cleaning, kitchen and master bath need updating bad. This unit gets direct sun exposure all day, and... More

We loved our stay here. At first I thought it might be too big for just my husband and myself but we loved being able to spread out and have plenty of space if one of us was up earlier than the other. We were in unit #6 and although the decor was somewhat dated, it was very clean and... More

We stayed a week at this unexpected tropical treasure. It is not like anything else offered in the Poipu area. These townhomes are like your own home in a tropical botanical garden. In the morning the birds sing throughout the enclosed crater. The winds blow across the giant lanais that we lived on for all our meals and evening cocktails.... More

My family and I just spent 2 weeks at Poipu Crater Resort. We were a large group of 38 people and stayed in 11 condos in the Crater. The trip was fabulous! The condos in Poipu Crater are great and they are the best deal on the island. There are 15 duplex-type buildings with 2 condos in each building. There... More

we loved staying at the Poipu Crater, it was the most beautiful place we've ever been to and when we go back we will of course stay there. It felt like home and we were sad to leave.

I booked this condo on the recommendation of a friend who stays here regularly. Although I knew it was in a crater, everything I read said that there were natural tradewinds that kept it cool. I was a bit concerned from the beginning since there weren't any good photos available to give me a better idea of what the property... More

We have stayed at the Crater three times and can't imagine staying anyplace else. All amenities (including boogie boards and ice chests) are provided, and the grounds are immaculate and beautifully landscaped. The Crater is within walking distance of the beach, and a short drive from Old Koloa Town. You simply cannot beat this value anywhere else on Kauai. A... More
