Reviews

This property provided a very comfortable home for our family's two week vacation over the Christmas and New Years 2011 holiday season. It's only been two weeks and I still miss waking up and falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing. This home is right on the water and in such a fantastic location. We have visited Poipu many times but have never ventured to this end of the community. The property is within short walking distance to the Spouting Horn (which you can see spouting in full view from the home's lanai. the botanical gardens and a great shopping center with many restaurant choices. It's a short drive to the Hyatt and the great hikes around that area. It's in proximity to many terrific spots. Enough about the location. The house itself offers plenty of room and a fully equipped kitchen, magnificent bathrooms (the master bathroom's shower is as big as my walk-in closet at home!), a cabinet full of every game you can think of, an underground rec-room which contains a ping-pong table, croquet set, boogie boards and lots of snorkle gear. There are three bicycles in the garage that we didn't use (unfortunately, they were all mens' bikes). All in all, we loved the house and the lanais offered many hours of sunbathing, whale-watching, sunsets and star-gazing (we did see whales spouting out there and the stars were amazing). There are also great spots behind the house for tide pool exploration and nearby snorkeling. The BBQ grill worked great and we had fun grilling fresh fish a couple of nights. There is a great wine store in Koloa and I suggest purchasing fresh fish from the Living Foods market. Unfortunately, the produce in Poipu isn't that great, but the Living Foods, and Kukui Ula markets and the Farmer's Markets are probably your best bet. We loved the Casablanca restaurant, but we tried most of the local restaurants during our two-week visit and there are some other great ones nearby. Now for the negatives, and there are just a few that I think are worth mentioning - only because I'm hoping the owners will take note and remedy. Although the jacuzzi was great, the pool was unfortunately much too cold to use. It would be nice to have a heated pool. We noticed that there was a heater for the pool, but no directions and we couldn't figure out how to make it work. Also, one of the better located prime view bedrooms upstairs is outfitted with twin beds. That room definitely warrants at least a queen bed (we had 4 couples in our group and no one could use that room). The TV in the master bedroom did not work and, for the amount we paid to stay there, we would have appreciated access to movie and on-demand TV channels, at least on the main TV. The ping-pong table would be much more pleasant in a brighter, airier location - either outside, on one of the lanais, or in one of the upstairs rooms perhaps - or if it were more portable. Two last issues that can't really be fixed: the narrow driveway to the house and the noisy public park next door. The park isn't too bad, but it can be pretty noisy on weekend or holiday weekend nights and the clientelle of that park can be a bit riff-raffy. The photos on all the property management websites make it look like there is a lot of land around the home, but there really isn't. The home is very close to the house next door and has a very small backyard and front yard. Regardless, the positives definitely outweigh any of the negatives and we do recommend the house if you have a party of 6-8 people.

There are so many things we liked about the house we rented - beautifully designed & tastefully appointed with enough bedrooms for our family, a beautifully appointed kitchen (two ovens, two dishwashers, and lots of dishes & pans), a private pool, and spacious living area. But the best part was its location right on the water with its stunning sunset view of the Spouting Horn. We came here for our son's wedding at the Grand Hyatt Resort (that's worth a visit and a meal if you can) and Kauai was the perfect place to spend time together. Our grown children especially enjoyed hiking in Waimea Canyon and the tour of the Steelgrass Chocolate Farm. Everyone wants to come back here!

Paradisio Ho'o Kumu is truly awesome, even better than we expected. As I listened to my family as they explored Paradisio on arrival, I thought of the expressions of the people who have had their home undergo the extreme makeover. Customer service was excellent, as the home was spotless on arrival, and when the propane tank went empty on our second barbecue night, a replacement was delivered and installed within a few hours. However, we were not able to get a proper fire with that replacement unit, but used the extensive kitchen for the meal in place of the barbecue. The best part of the trip was being able to live in comfort with the entire family, 8 people from granparents to grandchildren. We mostly ate at home, but the two middle couples each had a night out for dinner. We all had a nice lunch at Keokee's at the shops at Poipu, and take home pizza from Brick Oven Pizza in Kelehoe. We all spent one fabulous night at the Smith's Family Luau in Waliua, and got a family picture in the process. We took many pictures and video clips, from the open-door helicopter ride, the drive up Waimea Canyon, the hike on the Holupa trail and the hidden beaches to the east of Poipu, as well as a tour of Paradisio Ho'o Kumu in both pictures and video. We had a couple of noisy nights from partying going on at the park near the harbor, but that was only on weekend nights. Otherwise, the best advice for someone planning to stay at the unit, is to make best use of the fine property and all its amenties. As for the best insider tip, it was the directions to the beaches to the east of Poipu, small secluded beaches primarily visited by the locals. And what we learned in the time spent at Paradisio, is not to pay attention to the Weather Channel forecasts, as the weather was much better on the south shore than the forecasts indicated.

We were in awe the moment we walked through the door. The views, the sounds of the waves crashing, were just incredible. We had a fabulous time in this beautiful home. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai in the mornings and afternoons watching the clouds and the stars during the evenings. Thank you for sharing your home.

It was an amazing experience. We loved our trip to Kauai and am glad that we stayed in poipu rather than the princeville area (heavy rain). Every room in the house had views of the ocean and we could hear the crashing of the waves in all of the rooms. It was great for entertaining friends for dinner, especially with the outside barbecue. The entire house was well-furnished with comfortable chairs and sofas. They also had a nice upstairs office with computer and printer that was helpful. The only negative aspect of the trip was that there is no air-conditioning (hot when cooking inside); however none of the restaurants that we went to had air-conditioning, including Roy's. Overall, outstanding experience.

Paradaiso Ho'o Kumu was a beautiful, well-appointed property. It is so much more than was presented online and by your company...definitely a property we will visit again. The kitchen was wonderful and generally the property had everything you need and more..Customer service as far as information on this property was lacking. No one seems to know details at all. We purchased and brought many things that we did not need to bother with. The only negative we can think of in relation to the home is that the audio visual system was difficult to operate and in most rooms does not work...but really who needs tv in Hawaii? The property is adjacent to a small boat harbor which ended up being great for us because the kids enjoyed fishing from the dock. If you have privacy issues it could be a negative...across the street there is a home that is used for parties and events at night..again, worked out fine for us..we even caught a Michael McDonald concert from the beach. Overall, we would give the home a 10+...we will be back.
