Skip the crowded resorts and experience why we are a "Guest Favorite" in Poipu and the island of Kauai.
Hawaiian Chic Crater Retreat is a private Hawaiian tropical oasis tucked inside a lush, secluded crater — just a short walk to world-famous beaches (with slight hills in and out of the crater). Enjoy resort-style amenities like a pool, tennis court, and chipping green, then return to your peaceful villa where birds, trade winds, and privacy replace the noise of busy resorts. The home is fully stocked for your comfort, from kitchen cookware and linens to beach gear like chairs, towels, boogie boards and snorkels, Guests love the combination of space, comfort, and authentic Kauai charm, making it a top pick for families, couples, and those seeking a quiet, unforgettable island escape.


The Poipu Crater:

Resort-style swimming pool
Tennis court with racquets provided
Chipping green
Clubhouse with communal BBQs & ping pong
