Poipu Bay Getaway

This was the best bed and breakfast I have ever went to!!! I have went to at least 50 different bed and breakfast and this one beats them all. Dan and Lynette are the best people in the world. Dan is really funny and Lynette is the best cook ever. The rooms are beautiful and really clean. The pool is really nice and the garden is amazing. I would recommend this to 10 out of 10 people. This is the best bang for your buck.

This was my first B&B experience and I had tremendous expectations. We recently stayed in the Pool Terrace Suite for 4 nights– I would give this 3.5 stars if I could, below is why:
Pro:
+Gorgeous sunny garden
+Access to snorkel eqpt and beach chairs
+Great water pressure in the shower
+Owners are lovely people
+Maximum of 4 guests at a time at this B&B– so lots of privacy when using the common areas
+Very clean and relaxing in-​ground pool and above ground hot tub
+Comfortable bed and robes
+Sound machine (you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean)
+Reliable and quiet AC
+Great breakfast every morning– standouts were egg soufflé, toast with butter and pineapple jam (logic doesn’t explain why it was so delicious, maybe because I was on vacation?), coconut scones, and the FRESH FRUIT
+They were respectful of our dietary restrictions
+Access to Maha’ulepu Trail
+Quick drive to Poipu Beach Park
+Pool Terrace Suite is a HUGE space
+Good point to stay on the island if you plan to spend the day at the canyon– its about 30 miles away
+Very comfortable patio and pool furniture, great place to nap
+You have to drive through the Tree Tunnel to get here– its beautiful
+Owners are coffee lovers and if you are too, you will be very happy every morning
+The amenities include shampoo/​conditioner and body wash in the shower– feel free to use the bug spray I left under the bathroom sink
Con:
–You have to park your car along the main road on Poipu Rd
–It’s not a quick walk to the beach– you have to loop all the way around the Hyatt
–If the other room isn’t being occupied you should not expect an extravagant breakfast
–I missed the anonymity of a hotel
–You have to provide an estimated arrival time which is hard when you are on a spontaneous vacation
–Why are eggs included in every breakfast? I wanted more variety
–Difficult to access the outdoor shower, you are hit in the face with some plants
–Pool was too chilly for me, but then again I imagine it feels amazing on a really hot day
–Its Hawaii so I shouldn’t be surprised but I found bugs in the room, a beetle on my robe in the morning, a bug crawling on my leg at night. Nothing to do with cleanliness, but it just skeeved me out, certainly not luxurious
–If you have an early outing, you miss out on breakfast and that’s a bummer because you know it would have been delicious
–In the Suite you can hear everything going on upstairs in the main house because you are attached and under their living room, although the owners said they couldn’t hear us at all, it still made me feel uneasy
–The closet left much to be desired, it was dingy while the rest of the Suite was perfectly set up
–No extra small towels to scrub with in the shower

Our home in Kauai… we wish! If you ever need someone to take care of Kila we are available. :)
We just spent an amazing week here. Lynette and Dan were wonderful hosts. Kila was the cutest, most adorable little dog ever!
Breakfast every morning was delicious — eggs, potatoes, fruit, freshly baked scones, juice, and any coffee drink you can imagine. Lynette and Dan sat with us and offered sightseeing ideas — Waimea Canyon, zodiac boat tour, helicopter tour, beaches and the best shave ice among others.
Only two couples are at the B & B at a time so there is plenty of privacy. The pool and hot tub in the lushly landscaped back area were perfect to start and end each day. There were private sitting areas outside for each couple and the most relaxing hammock. The lawn was sprinkled with plumerias as they feel from the tree. We brought back champagne, cheese and crackers and had the best meal one night under the stars.
This was a perfect place for us. We have done the big resort thing many times and wanted something more quiet. We did walk next door (literally) to the Grand Hyatt for drinks and stayed there one night, but ended up liking the serenity of the Poipu Bay B & B so much more and for so much less.
I would suggest a car. While this is in Poipu, you may not want to walk all the time. That said, we walked to the Sheraton for the luau one night and it was only about twenty minutes. The Koa Kea was our favorite place to walk for mai tais overlooking the ocean. The area is very safe and is a beautiful stroll along the coast. Merrimans, the Beach House (great for sunset dinner) and Puka Dog (fun for lunch) are very close drives away.
We stayed in the bungalow room. It looked out over the back area and pool. The bathroom and shower area are large. The air conditioning was nice to have at night. The entire set up is first class. We can’t wait to go back!

Simply paradise! My husband and I recently got married on beautiful Kauai and were lucky enough to stay at this gorgeous B&B for 9 days.
The grounds are impeccable and spa-​like. It’s located in a neighborhood bordering the Hyatt so we were not expecting such a beautiful, private setting.
The biggest advantage for us was the privacy and freedom compared to a hotel/​resort in the area. We stayed in the detached bungalow and had free reign of the pool/​hot tub/​backyard and had our own outdoor shower, hammock, and sitting area. Amazing! There is an air conditioner in the room (not really necessary in April but nice to have) and we were told there was a tv if we wanted it installed, but of course we opted out. Who watches tv on Kauai, much less on their honeymoon?! :)
The attached terrace suite was actually vacant for a few days during our stay so we were able to check it out. It’s much more spacious than the bungalow but the smaller, more intimate bungalow actually has a larger shower, which we preferred.
The bungalow was equipped with a keurig and k cups (in case you need a coffee before the 8:30 breakfast) and the mini fridge was stocked with waters and juices. The bathroom had a hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, bath and beach towels.
Dan and Lynette are extremely gracious and accommodating hosts. They gave us beach chairs and snorkeling sets to use throughout our stay, and offered a ton of island tips and advice!
Breakfasts were fresh and plentiful and included Dan’s espresso creations. (We opted for daily lattes :) Delish.)
Guests eat breakfast at a large table with the hosts and other B&B guests, so this could be a drawback for less sociable people.
So glad we were married here and now have an amazing anniversary destination. Can’t wait for a return visit! Mahalo!

My wife and I stayed at this bed and breakfast just last weekend, we already miss it. It was our honeymoon and my wife found this place here on Unilocal,and thanks to all the helpful reviews below we where able to enjoy a great experience and meet some great people. Everything is just like in the pictures above and it truly makes it feel like your own private jungle escape.
First and foremost, Dan and Lynette are great people, from there awesome breakfasts, story telling, tips on day trips, to even tips on marriage (– I asked it was our honeymoon). There house is beautiful filled with everything you can imagine. Keyla made us miss our dog a little less as she was, cuddling, playing, and just being a great dog. Dan made us great lattes which include a story behind his design, and also provided entertaining stories throughout breakfast. Dan also takes care of his lush back yard with his green thumb, he was kind enough to use his outdoor surround sound to play some music while we dipped in the pool. Lynette is a truly amazing cook along with a great host. She makes you feel welcome, give you advice on things to do where to go and really anything you ask her. Dan and lynette balance each other out and make you feel really welcome in there beautiful home.
The grounds are just beautiful makes one dream of a vacation/​retirement home like this. We stayed in the bungalow and wow it was great. Dual headed shower for two, his and her sink, comfortable bed, small fridge and sink for beer of course. Not to mention all the beautiful flowers in the room, and all the garden outside. You are surround by beautiful garden all around the bungalow. We left the window open all night and you truly feel like your in the middle of nowhere so peaceful. Right out your door your greeted with a great saltwater pool with a smooth bottom and just the right temperature heated pool. Also are outdoor furniture to lay out sit and eat even a hammock and outdoor shower.
Location is great right in the middle of Poipu, lots to do beaches, the hyatt, the canyon is about a hour out, waterfalls about 35 minutes, and beaches up and down the coast. We loved Kauai the island as a whole is simply paradise, we hope to make it back to visit Dan and Lynette.

We decided to stay with friends at Dans & Lynettes famous Bed and Breakfast on Kauai.
To make it short: it was awesome.
The rooms are great with nice bathrooms. Outdoor showers included. The backyard and the pool: beautiful. Sometimes we decided to hang out at the pool the whole day. One day Dan came over and we picked fresh coconuts from the palm tree. For our stay at the beach, they handed out boogie boards and fins.
Kila gave us the sports, playing in the garden. But beware, you will never catch her. ^^
Lynettes breakfast is amazing, with home roasted coffee, eggs, pancakes and her famous banana-​syrup. She surprised us every morning inclusive a self made chocolate-​espresso birthday cake. Wow.
Poipu itself is the most beautiful spot on Kauai and Dan, Lynette & Kila gave us an unforgettable stay no hotel can do.
Thanks so much guys!

This bed and breakfast is a hidden gem! My husband and I were visiting Kauai for the first time and we stayed a couple days in the Princeville area (St Regis and Westin) and decided that for the south side of the island we would try something more low key and local. Upon finding this stealthy B&B on Airbnb we decided to book it for 6 nights, WOW we are so happy that we chose this retreat! Dan and Lynette are fantastic hosts, they are gracious and care about their guests. We shared our stories at breakfast and enjoyed delicious homemade breakfast that included Dan’s awesome delicious lattes and his espresso beans beat Blue Bottle coffees! They have two different types of lodging, one is the bottom floor of the main house and we stayed in the detached bungalow on the property which was fantastic with its own private entrance and modern décor! The pool that they have is beautiful and private, not to mention it is a saltwater pool so you can open your eyes and not feel like they are burning through your eye sockets! The Hyatt is RIGHT next door and we were the riff raff enjoying there pool, sneaky and ninja style! The property is beautiful and lush, its as if you are a celebrity! Shipwreck beach is a 5 minute walk on a paved private walkway behind the house. They also have a very cute/​friendly dog named Kila, she is absolutely the best behaved dog that I have ever encountered. If you get a chance to visit Kauai, forget the overly priced resorts and stay at the Poipu Bay B&B, it’s an experience you will never forget! (Have Dan grab a fresh coconut off of the tree on the property, he is a hoot!)
