Comments From Guests of OrchidHouse

"Hi! I'm excited we're all on board to come to your beautiful house! I couldn't see how to use a credit card, so I clicked on use check. I'll send it as soon as I get your address. " - Nancy R., 89 Avey River Lane,Le, 02/06/2024 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Aloha Ning! We just wanted to thank you for allowing us time at the Orchid House. It was the vacation of our lives. The house, pool and gardens were sparkling clean and so beautiful. It was private and spacious, perfect for our family of 10. Evan was very responsive when needed. Thanks also for your gift of herbs and greens. It was lovely to meet you in person. Mahalo for your hospitality! Bonnie and Tim Gormley " - Timothy G., ,Mi, 04/03/2023 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"This was a dream house for our family of Grandparents, adult kids, and young grandchildren. The pool was a tremendous hit with littles 2.5 - 6 years. The kitchen was a marvel for folks who like to cook. Pots, pans, knives of fine quality and great appliances. All rooms with private bathrooms and ample towels. The view was exceptional of Poipu point and Shipwreck Beach on a quiet street close (car) to groceries, beaches and shopping. The hosting was courteous and seamless, very thoughtful and welcoming. We'd return in a New York minute. Can't think of a single negative. Not cheep but incredible value! ============= Mahalo Ning, I've left a glowing review with the vacation rental site and will do the same with VRBO. You are very generous to share such a beautiful house and we really appreciate the thoughtful way you've equipped it. A cut above most VRBO hosts. We would very much love to come back someday!

"Aloha, Ning. We enjoyed every moment of our time on Kauai and at the Orchid House. The house was tremendous and met our every need. Evan did a nice job introducing us to the house and the surroundings and we found the stay very enjoyable. We have the VRBO survey and will respond to it in the next few days. Many thanks again for the wonderful stay. Mahalo Kris, Rose, Kerry, Braylon and Bryan Kris Meade​​ " - Kris M., Arlington, VA, 08/21/2022 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"I already know how beautiful Orchid House is because I've stayed there before. About 6+ years ago, my cousin (Janice Kemper) rented the house and several cousins stayed there with her.  It was perfect in every way with the great location, spaciousness, lovely furnishings, and tons of amenities.   Thanks again for letting me know should the July dates become available." - Susan R., , 07/19/2022 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"This is a beautiful, well maintained home with gorgeous ocean views. It's a very short drive to the bigger beach with ample parking and is a very close drive to several shopping centers and restaurants. We especially appreciated all of the gear that was available to use including beach chairs, umbrellas, toys, coolers and even lot's of spare water shoes and sneakers. We were 2 families with 2 kids each and a Grammy and had plenty of room. Would definitely stay here again!" - Jennifer B., ,Sa, 07/10/2022 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Aloha Ning, Thank you for your email and for sharing your beautiful Orchid House with us! It was everything we hoped it would be and more. The ocean and mountain views from almost every room were a constant pleasure. The layout of the house and all the beautiful details were perfect for our family. Your communication and flexibility during the pandemic were greatly appreciated! We would like to join the ranks of repeat guests and book the Orchid house for some time in July, 2022. Ideally, we would like to stay for a similar amount of time. Do you have availability next July? Mahalo, Carla and Mick Gorrell " - Carla G., Evergreen, CO, 07/29/2021 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Good morning. Just wanted to let you know that we received the credit on our credit card. We had such a wonderful time at your home and on the island of Kauai. It was a much needed family vacation and we will look back on those memories with a smile. Thank you again for your hospitality and wish you and your family the very best. Take care, Kristen " - Kristen S., Poway, CA, 07/17/2021 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We stayed during a terrible storm, our two boys families with 4 young kids. The beaches were not usable much of the time. The pool was a lifesaver. We had a terrific stay, it was comfortable for all 9 of us. This is so nice a place you don't feel compelled to go anywhere. And the manager, Evan is outstanding, if you need anything he probably already thought of it or can get it. Just sit back, enjoy the view and relax. The pictures do not lie. Awesome." - Daniel J., 03/24/2020 (VRBO Review)

"The property was incredible, from location to the functionality! The view is spectacular from every top floor room PLUS the Whale room is marvelous, as we were always drawn to this area from 5am watching the stars/moon (Venus and waning moon gorgeous)! We had four couples who so enjoyed the privacy and the integration the home allows. The beds were comfortable, sheets soft, temperature appropriate, the bedrooms were a sanctuary plus huge closets and luxurious ensuite bathrooms. The amount of options available, from double washer/dryers, air conditioners, heat in the pool and everything you could ever need whether from the garage with floats, kitchen with appliances not normally found in a vacation rental, bathrooms with multiple hairdryers, sheets, towels, personal necessities, guides to do anything on the island, even an evacuation illustration! Every detail, thought of! Ning, was very immediately communicative and helpful! Evan, the house manager, was responsive, courteous and so meticulous in his level of support for guests. This is a TRUE FIVE STAR home and a wonderful gift to be shared with family and friends! Thank you and I am so grateful for this opportunity to stay with my family!" - Sydney B., renton, wa , 02/28/2020 (VRBO Review)

"We stayed at Orchid House for our daughter's wedding in Kauai Botanical Gardens. Evan, the property manager could not have been more helpful and accommodating. We loved this VRBO and will come back again! They provided us with everything we needed: great Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, you name it! Baby equipment as well. The pool was lovely to come home to after a day at Poipu Beach. It was easy to load up and use beach access spots to get to nearby beaches. The huge windows and ocean views were lovely. We needed and appreciated the AC that worked well throughout the home. The home was upscale and yet casual and comfortable for a beach vacation!" - Julia H., 07/17/2019 (VRBO Review)

Mahalo Julia! Your comments mean a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you had a great time. We also appreciate you leaving our home is a very good condition as well.

"We visited Orchid House with our 3 adult sons, their wives, and one toddler grandson. It was important to us that we find a home with a queen or king be in four bedrooms, as well as air conditioning. This fit the bill with room to spare. Lovely, quiet cul-de-sac in walking distance to beaches. Owner provided pack and plays and high chair for the little one to use, and the garage had tons of beach gear (chairs, beach blanket, coolers, boogie boards, sand toys, some snorkel gear). There were also walking sticks that came in handy for hikes. Owner connected us with Sherrie Orr, personal concierge, who was helpful booking excursions ahead of our arrival. Evan, the house manager, was very informative and responsive to questions, requests, and a quick home repair when the need arose. We would love to stay here again if we return this direction!" - Beth H., 07/12/2019 (VRBO Review)

"This is such an amazing spacious house and we had so much fun on our visit. We had two families (10 people) and there was PLENTY of room.

"Our family loved this home’s layout, WiFi service and location. The central living areas are open and provide a beautiful ocean view. The bedrooms are large and quiet. The kids and adults spent hours each day in the pool and beach access was easy. We had all our meals at the house. Nice BBQ. Would have liked to dine outdoors, but not enough seating." - Janel H., Eden Prairie, 05/07/2019 (VRBO Review)

Thank you so much, Janel! It is nice to hear that you love your stay. This week, we are putting a new set of dining (6), in addition to the current teak dining set (6). Therefore there are seats for >10 people to dine outdoors. Thank you for letting me know.

"My family of 8 adults stayed here 3/22-3/30/2019. The house is beautiful with great views of the ocean from many of the rooms. Shipwreck Beach is a short (10-15 minutes) walk away. Poipu Beach is a little further...easier to drive (5 minutes). Poipu Beach is also a great place to snorkel, see turtles and seals...not too crowded either! Orchid House has about everything you might need for your stay...kitchen utensils, games for the family, pool, beach accesories, binoculars, etc. Hope to come back to Kauai some day!" - Al S., 04/15/2019 (VRBO Review)

"I stalled on writing this review because you can tell the owners have taken a great deal of care with this property. I think a large group will be very comfortable here with the plethora of en-suite bathrooms and the amazing views. The beds were the best we've experienced, and we actually took a picture of the sheet label to purchase them. There were a couple of distractions or concerns though: The number of label maker notes was distracting. It took away from the ambience of the house. I'm sure we can all figure out how to use the ice maker, and I'm equally sure no one is running out and buying ammonia based products to wash the windows. I wouldn't want to be the parent of a young reader having to answer what a condom and a tampen (sic) were in the same question. That could distract from a vacation. (My husband says if anything requires a label its how to turn on the dishwasher.) The security camera recording over the pool was a big disappointment, and I am very relieved it was spotted before the outdoor shower was used in the way I like to do so. Reading Hawaii codes, I'm thinking this needs to have a placard in place alerting us to its presence. My number one issue though is the propane tank IN the garage hooked to dryer that has some rigged dryer lint storage IN the garage. The whole thing screams RUN! I just cannot fathom how this is legal or safe. Evan, the caretaker, is very visible and willing to share his knowledge. I think I saw him more in a week than I've seen of mine in a month. You will be very comfortable here. It is a quiet neighborhood that is centrally located. (I just really hated the pool camera.)" - Tammy B., 03/06/2019 (VRBO Review)

Aloha Tammy, I am happy to hear that you love our Orchid home; en-suite bathrooms and the amazing views! Our goal is to provide the best vacation rental home possible. In vacation rental business, we recognize that our guests come with different familiarities and the kitchen layout could be very different than the one they are used to at home. To save their precious time we do minimal labeling to provide simple guide to our guests so everyone can enjoy our home at its best and not damage the house. We put hidden labels not to use ammonia-based window cleaners because our windows/ doors have 3M UV protection film which is destroyed by ammonia. These labels are primarily for our cleaning crews and not for our guests because we do not expect our guests to clean the windows. The pool camera only points to the pool gate. Our guest has full privacy. The pool area is blocked by the roof, therefore the camera does not see the pool, outdoor shower or the chaise lounge area. Camera surveillance warning signs are also posted in front of the house to increase the effectiveness of such surveillance. The 3rd dryer in the garage is there only for use by our cleaning crew. It is safe (hidden on/off switch) and the garage door is open when the dryer is operating. We have 2 sets of washers and dryers in the laundry room and these sets are for our guests to use at any time. Evan is our home manager and pool man. He stops by the house every 3 days to take away trash and clean the pool. However, he is there to answer any questions you have too. As the homeowner, we want you to enjoy our home as much as we do. We also wish you have a wonderful stay with amazing memories. Mahalo!

"We stayed at the Orchid house with three other couples. It is the perfect house for a couples vacation or for a family. The house is well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen and throughout the home. It was very clean and well maintained. There is plenty of room for gathering in the kitchen and great room area. The bedrooms are all a great size too. The pool is amazing. The location was perfect. There are so many fun adventures to have on Kauai and the Orchid house is the perfect home base. We loved hiking, snorkeling and we took a sunset sail. We never made it on a helicopter ride though so we'll have to go back!" - Kathleen, 11/06/2018 (VRBO Review)

Mahalo Kathleen. We are delighted to hear that you had the best vacation spot ever!

"I write this review with mixed emotions about the Orchid House. Having rented a number of large houses over the years for family holidays, the Orchid House was definitely top 3 in terms of size, amenities, location, quality and bedroom layout. We thoroughly enjoyed how each bedroom was it's own suite with walk-in closets and full bath, as this is often the most frustrating part of renting a high-end house is when someone gets stuck with the \" - Kurt K., 11/06/2018 (VRBO Review)

"This place is amazing. The views are spectacular and it was perfect for our two families to spend a week. There are countless amenities-- a full stocked kitchen; pool, beach, ocean gear, nice towels and linens. It was very clean and the perfect place to stay. We felt like we were living in luxury for the week. Evan will help you with any needs and gives great tips on where to go and what to see. The location is just perfect. Thank you, Ning and Evan, for a great week!" - Julie M., San Diego, Ca, 11/03/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"This is a beautiful home in the perfect location with an amazing ocean view. It is spacious and loaded with special extras like travel books, discount grocery cards, every pool or beach/ocean item you might need, spices for cooking, laundry, etc. The entire home is well thought out-room for a large group/family. This home has a wonderful covered deck for eating and the BBQ, lovely pool, and bedrooms with large bathrooms, closets, and balconies. You won't be disappointed!" - Susan S., Hudson, WI, 10/27/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We enjoyed the house as it was perfect for our group. The house was very clean and exactly as the pictures depicted. We were all very pleased and happy with our choice of the Orchid House. The view is phenomenal and an easy walk to the beach and the Hyatt Hotel. " - Pat J., Jones, OK, 09/18/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had a great time. Everyone enjoyed the home and were pleasantly surprised at every turn. From the layout, rooms, the kitchen and of course the pool. Evan was great and responsive to every inquiry, regardless of how small. I would suggest fixing the blinds in the main room since it got rather warm during the day requiring more air conditioning. Thanks for helping make this a great gathering of family and friends. Dan" - Daniel P., Parkland, Fl, 08/18/2018 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"The house was amazing. The 4 private bedrooms were all very nice and very comfortable. The living room and kitchen more than meet our needs. The pool was a great place to relax.

"We had such a wonderful stay in your beautiful house. The large spaces, the fully stocked kitchen, the paper products and soap provisions, the great front porch with bbq, the beautiful pool, AND THE AMAZING VIEWS, made this the perfect home away from home for our family. We were pampered and comfortable. Thank you for working with me to make this an exceptional family vacation! Can't think of anything that would have made it better. Evan was very helpful and always accessible. He met us when we arrived and provided a thorough orientation to the house and to surrounding area; suggesting walking paths and good locations for surfing, snorkeling, swimming close to the house. He was always only a phone call away. Thank you, Pat and Jim and family" - Pat S., 07/19/2018 (VRBO Review)

"Our extended family of 9 stayed at Orchid House for 10 days in June and had a great time. The house has a beautiful view of the ocean - we really enjoyed watching the sunrise over the cliffs near Shipwreck Beach. The master suites are really spacious with huge closets. The downstairs bedroom near the laundry room is a bit smaller but has a nice sunroom attached to it where my daughter slept on a daybed. We cooked quite a bit in the house and enjoyed eating out on the front deck. The house is well stocked with anything you would need for the beach, and the two washers and two dryers were so helpful with a big group. Evan the house manager was very attentive. All in all a great stay!" - Marie M., 07/11/2018 (VRBO Review)

"The Orchid House was the perfect place for our family of three adult children to stay for our vacation in Kauai! We all had a private room and bath and the two granddaughters had a lovely sleeping space in a room adjoining their Dad. The pool provided lots of fun when we were back at the house. The kitchen is well furnished. The manager was very welcoming and helpful. Everything was very clean. Great location. Loved everything about this house. Highly recommend staying here!" - Ann G., Plymouth, MN, 04/11/2018 (VRBO Review)

"We were pleased with the location of this beautiful home. Plenty of space for all six of us. Amazing views on the main floor. Kitchen was stocked well. Open floor plan living dining area was great for gathering. All four bedrooms offered plenty of privacy for each couple. Three of the bedrooms offered walk in closets that offered plenty of storage for clothing , luggage etc. Mattresses offered more of a soft vs firm feel. They provided many extras including beach chairs, towels, sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in ample amounts. Hair dryers in each bathroom. The little things make your travel experience that much better and easier. Communication was excellent from the intial inquiry right up until we checked out. This location was perfect for getting to the entire island. There are many places to shop, beaches and great restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this wonderful home." - Tara P., 03/13/2018 (VRBO Review)

"The house was well equipped, very warm saltwater pool which was nice. However I would not recommend this house to anyone with a walker or wheelchair there are to many stairs and small edge drops throughout." - Joanne W., 03/05/2018 (VRBO Review)

Thank you, Joanne! The Orchid house has great Ocean views! Well-equipped home and our saltwater pools are very nice and warm. The Orchid house has two stories. The living, look out, dining, kitchen, and lanai areas are on the second floor so that our guest can always see panoramic ocean views and great sunrises out from the ocean (even when you are in bed). For guests who have some difficulty in walking, the best room to stay is the first king suite or the queen suite on the second floor, this way s/he can access both kitchen, dining, living, lanai and still enjoy the ocean views at any time. However, s/he still need to be able to walk upstairs from the parking. Sorry to hear that you are on a walker or wheelchair. Our Orchid house is not suitable for wheelchair guests and we never advertise that Orchid house is wheelchair friendly. Since the time you booked the Orchid house, the only question I received was about what beach gear we provide. If you had asked about the wheelchair accessibility, we would have recommended to you to rent our other home, Hawaiian Hibiscus home VRBO#170960 (private pool/ hot tub in Poipu) instead. You can walk across the lawn directly from the parking to the house through a walking path. Three bedrooms, kitchen, dining, living room are on the same level and you can access the warm pool and hot tub on the lanai by stepping only one step down.

"My family of four rented the Orchid house for our stay in Poipu. We loved it! Our view was great, we were within minutes of everything we wanted, and having the ability to make our own meals on the great amenities was awesome. We had considered renting a hotel room but I am sure glad we didn't. The ability for each of us to have our own room and space, along with all of the extra amenities made this the obvious choice. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat." - Mark M., 02/04/2018 (VRBO Review)

Mahalo. We are glad to hear that your love your stay and would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

"The Orchid House was a perfect fit for our group of 3 couples and 2 children. Once the kids realized there was a trundle bed under the day bed in the sun room/reading room just off the pool, they quickly staked their claim. FYI, the door from that particular room that leads to the pool has a child lock high up on the door making it easy to keep the pool area secure so little ones aren't wandering out there unsupervised day or night. There are also several children's books and games in the closet of the bedroom off the sunroom, so that section of the house was very much appreciated and well-used by my husband, myself and the kids. The beds are all comfortable and each room is equipped with air conditioning, however, we rarely used it as the trade winds cooled it off adequately at night (we traveled over Christmas and New Years). We appreciated having two washers and dryers and a garage full of pool and beach toys, including a beach umbrella, children's life jackets, floaties, tons of boogie boards, coolers, etc. There was really nothing we needed other than our own snorkeling gear. The kitchen is fully equipped with a rice cooker, slow cooker, plenty of cookware including extra large sizes of pots and pans, spices and several staples like oil, soy sauce, etc. The views from the upstairs bedrooms and living area are outstanding and we saw so many whales! The house is tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood on a hill that overlooks the few houses between it and the ocean for an unobstructed view and it is only about a 10 minute walk to Shipwreck and Poipu Beaches. There is both a long way and a short-cut to Shipwreck beach, but I would highly recommend taking the long walk at least once with your camera as there are several areas where the waves crash quite violently into the cliffs. Amazing to watch! The house is also close to two shopping areas, one with a weekly Farmer's Market that is a must if you want to sample some of the more exotic local produce. The property manager gave us some great tips (he saved us a significant chunk of change on our kayaking excursion) and he was always just a text away to answer any questions. It was like having our own personal concierge. Truly a home away from home. Mahalo for the amazing vacation!" - Lana L., 01/17/2018 (VRBO Review)

Mahalo. We are so happy to hear that you had an amazing vacation! Whales are around the island from November - April and we glad to hear that you saw so many whales! while you are at the Orchid house. Very much appreciate you review.

"The Orchid House was exactly what we wanted! We were four couples spending a week vacationing together. 15 min. walk to multiple beaches; views of sunrise over the ocean from three of four bedrooms (we put our late sleepers in the darker room); spacious communal area; all four bedrooms with their own walk-in closet and en suite bathroom (plus a guest half bath off the kitchen); fully stocked kitchen for cooking every dinner at home--including a grill on the lovely covered porch for having dinner and drinks outside, even in a sprinkle! (And a Vitamix blender for all your pina colada needs!) The garage was stocked full of boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel equipment, and coolers for comfortable beach days. Two sets of washers and dryers; Pack 'n' Plays in most (all?) bedrooms; a stock of games in a closet. They've thought of everything. The building manager met us and gave us a tour of the house and then went above and beyond and drove us on a brief tour of the neighborhood, pointing out good snorkel spots and restaurants, etc. Thank you so much, Ning and Evan! We had a fantastic vacation." - Jessica H., San Francisco, CA, 12/01/2017 (VRBO Review)

We had a minor issue with the freezer but Evan was attentive to our needs and made sure we were happy. Having the ability to swim in a private pool, walk to local beaches/shops, or simply enjoy the house makes renting this house amazing. The house had everything you need and the 2 washer and dryers were a terrific surprise.

It was a great way to start our visit and set the tone for the service level we would receive. The house itself exceeded all expectations. Four large bedrooms along with fantastic common areas that provided the perfect location to get together as a group. The views were fantastic and we really enjoyed the pool.

"Our family of 6 adults and 2 children just returned from 12 wonderful days at the Orchid House. The home is elevated on a small hillside overlooking the ocean, mountains and scores of swaying palm trees. This elevation also provides the upper living area with panoramic views of the sunrise over Shipwreck Beach and with binoculars, we could watch people jumping into the sea from Shipwreck Rock. Each couple enjoyed the privacy and comfort of their own master suite and the kids shared the 4th master suite on the lower level that connected to a separate reading/pool room with an additional day bed. All the bedrooms and living areas have large picture windows and balconies to enjoy the views. And although each room had its own air conditioner, we preferred using the smaller bank of louvered windows that would allow the trade winds to naturally flow through the house and keep it at a refreshing, comfortable temperature. From the Orchid House, it is an easy and quite beautiful walk to the rocky shoreline, Shipwreck Beach and the Grand Hyatt Resort. Located just across the street is The Point at Poipu, which has a small pool bar with surprisingly good drinks. All the other attractions, shops and restaurants in Poipu and Koloa are conveniently located only a short drive away. The house was spotless upon our arrival, nicely decorated and very well maintained. The bed and bath linens are of fine quality. The kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed. The laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers, which were extra convenient. The salt water pool is fantastic and the kids could not wait to get back to the house each afternoon to enjoy it. Lots of beach towels, snorkel gear and pool toys were provided. We couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend the Orchid House. Mahalo to the owner, Ning Gulari, for sharing this little piece of paradise with us!" - Mark Y., 08/09/2017 (VRBO Review)

This elevation also provides the upper living area with panoramic views of the sunrise over Shipwreck Beach and with binoculars, we could watch people jumping into the sea from Shipwreck Rock. Each couple enjoyed the privacy and comfort of their own master suite and the kids shared the 4th master suite on the lower level that connected to a separate reading/pool room with an additional day bed. All the bedrooms and living areas have large picture windows and balconies to enjoy the views. And although each room had its own air conditioner, we preferred using the smaller bank of louvered windows that would allow the trade winds to naturally flow through the house and keep it at a refreshing, comfortable temperature. From the Orchid House, it is an easy and quite beautiful walk to the rocky shoreline, Shipwreck Beach and the Grand Hyatt Resort. Located just across the street is The Point at Poipu, which has a small pool bar with surprisingly good drinks. All the other attractions, shops and restaurants in Poipu and Koloa are conveniently located only a short drive away. The house was spotless upon our arrival, nicely decorated and very well maintained. The bed and bath linens are of fine quality. The kitchen is well appointed with everything we needed. The laundry room has 2 washers and 2 dryers, which were extra convenient. The salt water pool is fantastic and the kids could not wait to get back to the house each afternoon to enjoy it. Lots of beach towels, snorkel gear and pool toys were provided. We couldn’t have asked for more and would highly recommend the Orchid House. Mahalo to the owner, Ning Gulari, for sharing this little piece of paradise with us!" - Mark Y., 08/09/2017 (HomeAway Review)

"Aloha, Ning! Thank you for the security deposit refund, which has been posted back to my credit card. Even more, thank you for sharing your beautiful home in Kauai! We absolutely loved our stay at the Orchid house! It was just perfect for our family and couldn't have been more comfortable. Really missing those amazing tropical breezes that flow through the house and the amazing sunrises each morning (and I'm not usually a morning person). Many thanks for helping to make this a truly special vacation for us! Looking forward to returning one day soon. Mahalo ten times over!

"We stayed in this house in April 2017 for an extended family vacation and it was amazing. Exceeded all expectations, the pool was amazing to come back to after the beach and site seeing. We had tons of space for each of us to stay comfortably, the bathrooms in every bedroom and closet space was a bonus. The morning sunrise is beautiful from the deck, its close to the beach ,sea turtles, rainbows, hiking and much more. I highly recommend this space, we had an amazing trip!" - Amanda G., 05/01/2017 (VRBO Review)

"This is a fantastic house, in a great location. We stayed at Orchid house for an extended family vacation and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Great bedrooms, with spectacular views, comfy beds, great closets and bathrooms! The house has everything you could need/want. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in close proximity to a number of adventures!!" - Susan B., 04/27/2017 (VRBO Review)

"Dad: We stayed here in early April 2017. The house was perfect for our 10 person extended family vacation. Plenty of nearby things to do, fantastic scenery from the porches in the morning and throughout the day, as well as enjoyable amenities at the house when you just want to hang out. Very comfortable beds and kitchen and dining areas that allow for memorable big family meals. Very much enjoyed ourselves! Mom: This is an amazing house!! The morning view from the deck of the master bedroom is awesome. We enjoyed the pool and the spaciousness of the home!! It was the perfect vacation for us. The scenery is beautiful and the rainbows that we saw were a bonus to this magical trip!! Kids perspective: My parents took me to Kauai to vacation in this house, and it was very enjoyable. There are sights to see within walking distance from the house, like the beach and climbing a rock! On the beach there are sometimes seals, that are there all day, that are very fun to look at and take pictures with. The house has a nice outdoor pool at just the right temperature, and is fun to play in with family and friends!" - Andrew D., 04/27/2017 (VRBO Review)

"The Orchid House was everything we had hoped for and more. Everything is top notch and well maintained. Having compared many properties before selecting this one, we can definitely say that this was a great value for the money.

"This is the second house that we have rented on Kauai from Ning Gulari. She is a person who pays attention to detail in all of her houses and has them equipped as well as your house at home - maybe better. The house is so well-equipped that all you have to purchase is food and drink. There are multiple sets of dishes so that if you have young kids with you, there are non-chip, non-breakable ones plus very nice plastic glasses. If you view Orchid house on the web, you'll get a very realistic view of all of the space and features. We had 6 adults and 4 grandchildren aged 2 through 7 1/2, and there was plenty of communal room and still spaces to be more alone. From the moment we walked into the house, we were thrilled by everything about it. If possible, it is even a better house than any of us had hoped for. We were able to use the Reading Room for our 7 1/2 year old grandson and 4 ½ year old granddaughter with no problem. We did order a cot for that room which proved very useful. The kids loved all of the pool toys and inner tubes and spray guns and spent many happy hours in the gorgeous pool. The pool and all of the pool toys for kids are in the garage and there is a wide range of them. I might suggest picking up a couple of more water gun types at Big Save or in Lihue. The kids can so easily play in the little pool or jump into the big one and love shooting water at each other. There are many spices in the pantry and in the round spice rack. There are hair dryers in every room as well as plenty of fans. We had lots of trade winds while we were there in June/early July, 2016 so we rarely used the air conditioning. It is fantastic to have 2 washers and 3 dryers and a very convenient counter for folding laundry. We brought very few clothes because we knew that we could do the laundry as often as we wanted. The gas grill outside is easy to use and we had almost every meal with our dinner's grilled outside. We ate out there most nights too. We did big Costco and Safeway shopping before we got to the house. I had a list of everything that we'd bought a few years before, and it was good to get a lot of shopping out of the way. Safeway is far superior to the Big Save, so try and get as much as you can before you get to Poipu and then stop in Safeway anytime that you need other things, especially if you are going to sights on the northern part of the island. We will go again and again." - Anonymous, Orinda CA, 07/28/2016 (VRBO Review)

"This is a great house for 4 couples to rent, each bedroom has its own bath and a king or queen bed. The two upper floor bedrooms have a great view out over the south shore. The house is nicely situated near south shore activities. You can walk right down from the house to the shoreline to see turtles swimming in a rocky cove or waves crashing under a sea arch. The nearby sand beaches are easier to reach by car if you are carrying lots of stuff but the drive is short. The kitchen is very well equipped, beautiful Wolf 36\" - Donna M., 05/31/2016 (VRBO Review)

The bedrooms are situated for maximum privacy and the kitchen and family room are spacious and open with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Evan, the manager, was very helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed. The house is very well maintained and in a lovely neighborhood. It's a easy walk down to Poipu beach, the park, and local restaurants. We would highly recommend this home." - Katie A., Fox Island, 01/20/2016 (VRBO Review)

"I am a VRBO Owner and have stayed in VRBO properties all over the World, and this was one of the nicest and best supplied homes I've been in. There really was nothing that we could have asked for, that we didn't have. Beginning with the beautiful Orchid leis and wine, and ending with a garage stocked with every imaginable water toy you could ever want. The location is perfect, just a short walk to several beautiful beaches and short drives to all the Island attractions. The home was beautifully appointed, the manager met us and answered any questions we might have, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. We woke to a gorgeous sunrise everyday. And the owner, Ning, was so attentive that she even sent us a note from the delivery room, before the birth of her baby! We can't wait to bring our entire family back for a long stay." - Susie H., 12/07/2015 (VRBO Review)

"What a wonderful place to have a vacation. The Orchid house was terrific. Even the manger was very helpful and responsive when we had questions. The Popui coast was beautiful with many safe beaches to swim at. My family especially loved the pool at the end of a long day of sightseeing. My grandbaby was in the pool every chance she could and my husband and I enjoyed just floating at night looking at the moon and stars. The Orchid home had everything one could need in a home. And the beach equipment was amazing. It was a once in a life time trip for sure." - Anna M., 11/12/2015 (VRBO Review)

"The Orchid House was more beautiful in person than in the pictures posted on the internet. I did extensive research before deciding on this home and it paid off! This was my dream vacation with all of my children and grandson. The house is well appointed and had everything you could possibly need for a family of eight! There were even full size shampoo and conditioner in each shower as well as outside at the shower next to the pool. We loved cooking on the Wolf stove and the new Weber BBQ grill outside. My 4 year old grandson, loved the pool and was in it every day. Evan, the property manager, was very kind and suggested a variety of activities for us to enjoy while there. We all enjoyed it so much, we decided that we would return again next year and try to make it a yearly tradition to return to the Orchid House in Kauai. Thank you, Ning, for making your home available for all of us." - Kathy A., San Diego, California, 10/09/2015 (VRBO Review)

"Staying at the Orchid House was such treat for us. The pictures are wonderful and hold true but it is even better in person. We had a total of 6 people stay at this house. Plenty of room was an understatement. The views of the ocean were spectacular and could be seen from every window. It was a delight to open the sliders and get that ocean breeze. We took a 5-10 minute walk to the beach every day. That was so nice to be able to have that option. The Orchid House had every amenity that you could think of. It truly felt like home away from home. Evan the house manager was awesome! Anything you needed he was your man. We will definitely be recommending the Orchid house to family and friends and will not hesitate to stay here in the future.

"This is our second time renting from the owners. We rented their other property, Bird of Paradise, last year thus we were comfortable in getting what you see in the pictures. The property manager happened to be doing some last minute pool work on the property as we pulled up 20 minutes early. He stopped and gave us the full tour of the house and answered other questions not directly related to the house. The views are outstanding. The house is situated perfectly to catch the tradewinds. An easy walk to two different beaches. We'll probably rent this house again the next time we come back to Kauai. This owner keeps this house well maintained." - Johnny S., 03/28/2015 (VRBO Review)

"We were celebrating a milestone birthday for my wife and we brought both our son's and their families with children and you could not ask for a more accomodating, luxurious home and great location for a family gathering. Everyone had their own master bedroom and the house came fully stocked with beach equipment, pool toys, kitchen amenities, linens & more. Home was immaculate, very clean and with an incredible view. Shipwreck beach and Poipu beach are close by and kid friendly and have snorkeling areas too. Great restaurants and resorts nearby. I highly recommend this home for a family celebration." - James H., Napa CA, 11/06/2013 (VRBO Review)

"This was by far our favorite rental property in Kauai. The house way exceeded our expectations. The beautiful views from every room were breath taking.

"Orchid House is a beautiful and welcoming home, nicely appointed and very well equipped. Thoughtful items include shampoo, body wash and other sundries that we did not have to buy. Our interactions with the owner were nothing but positive and Evan, our island contact, was a tremendous help. The pool and patio were great as were the beach chairs, towels, boogie boards etc. that were there for our use. The owners have gone above and beyond to make one's stay pure pleasure. We wanted for nothing. Shipwreck Beach and Brennecke Beach were within walking distance. The other Poipu Beaches were a short drive and easily accessible. Our families enjoyed deep sea fishing, a sunset whale cruise on a catamaran with Cap't. Andy, zip-lining, and an island helicopter tour. We cheered our Ravens on at a great local spot, Brennecke's and celebrated a birthday at Roy's. This was wonderful vacation spot - the amazing views, the ever present breeze, the perfect temps and watching the whales from our balconies. Thank you for the use of your lovely home!

Every amenity you could hope for….the kitchen is stocked with every gadget, bowl and kitchen appliance you need, house is so clean, the 4 master suites are incredible, and the garage is loaded with everything you need for the beach . It was so nice to have beach chairs at our disposal, cooler bags, boogie boards and snorkel gear. Ning was a pleasure to deal with the entire time and Evan is as helpful as can be. We had 4 couples for the majority of our 10 night stay. The house huge and the outside pool area is fabulous. The neighbour is safe, and you can walk to the beach within 5 to 10 minutes.

"We just returned from a week at the Orchid House and had a wonderful stay. There were 8 of us (4 couples) and the house accommodated all of us beautifully. There was enough separation from each bedroom that everyone had as much privacy as they wanted. The common areas (living room, kitchen, dining room) were spacious and had gorgeous views. We fixed many group dinners and found the kitchen to be nicely equipped. The pool was beautiful and at a comfortable temperature so we swam every day (and some nights too). An unexpected luxury/convenience were the 2 washers and 2 dryers in the spacious laundry room. The Orchid House is in a great location, and we thought it was it was one of the prettiest homes in the area." - Janice K., 10/12/2012 (VRBO Review)

It was such a clean and beautiful house. There was enough space you didn't feel like you were tripping all over each other. The pool was fantastic and the house was close to everything.

"We stayed at the Orchid House with our entire family to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. There were 8 of us and it was perfect. Evan was the epitome of a hospitable host showing us around and telling us all the local tips for the island! The grounds and home was beautiful and elegant in every way. One great tip - we brought a baby and rented the crib and high chair from a local rental agency. The crib was set up in the downstairs bedroom closet. It is a big walk-in closet with beautiful built-ins. We put a fan in the room and she loved it! Her mom and dad had some privacy while sleeping in the bedroom next to her. They also had a visual monitor set up they brought with them to keep an eye on her. With her toys set up, it felt like a little nursery. The kitchen was very well stocked and we even had a steamer to cook the baby's veggies. We surfed, snorkeled, played family games, relaxed in the warm pool, took turns cooking dinner and enjoyed a wonderful family experience. One night we ate out at Merrimans (loved it). This is a hands-down winner!" - Dona H., 09/05/2012 (VRBO Review)

"Our family of 8 plus a 1 yr old stayed in your marvelous home during our early June trip to Kauai recently. This was the first trip to Hawaii for most of us and we are so excited we chose to stay in your home in Poipu. It was so up to date with everything we needed and the 4 bedrooms (including the additional trundle bed in the pool room) was just right and the fact everyone had their own bathroom was awesome. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything but food. I am very hot natured so the air conditioner in our bedroom was wonderful when needed. We sat at the window every morning looking out at the ocean, went for daily walks/jobs with the beautiful temperate weather (loved that) and strolls to the nearby Shipwreck and Poipu Beaches. The personal heated pools were great and our 1 year old loved floating in the baby pool. Plenty of snorkle/boogie board equipment that always came in handly and useful. Loved the grill and front porch area for relaxing. Evan was most helpful and provided one of the best tips in a little coffee/danish shop in Kappa nearby. He was there but not if you know what I mean. Some great adventures we recommend are the Hawaiian Blue Helicopter rides (so professional and comfortable); Smith Luau, trip to Ke'e beach on North Shore as well as Wailua Falls; dinner at The Beach House and Kioki Paradise; shopping in the little town of Koloa; Anara Day Spa at the Hyatt and just everything else. Took a day trip to Oahu and Pearl Habor and some took the kayak trip up at the Napali Coast. WE cooked breakfast every morning in your wonderful home and found it to be a paradise in itself. WE appreciate the personal service of your home and we are already figuring out how soon we can get back. Wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. I will recommend Orchid House to anyone I know headed that way. I have great pictures of the hibiscus out front. Mahalo! The Richardson and Lairds" - Sharon R., 06/20/2012 (VRBO Review)

"Oh, my goodness. This house is all it says it is ... and more. We just spent a week there with our two daughters, their husbands, and our 5 and 7- year-old grandsons. Everyone had their own space, privacy when wanted, and communal space to spare. The house is fantastically equipped. Beach gear, pool gear, kitchen gear, dishes and glasses galore, good linens, lots of great towels, necessities and nice touches everywhere. The pools are fantastic ... warm, safe, clean. They are salt water, as stated, but hardly salty at all, not ocean water. The view is fantastic. It is even nicer than the pictures, comfortable, and inviting. It was as if we were in a beautiful tropical movie. If you like to sleep late, and light bothers you a lot, you might want eye shades, as the bamboo bedroom curtains let in some light. The sunrise is worth waking for, however ... and later than more northern latitudes. (The lower floor bedrooms get a little less light, tropical garden view.) Evan, the caretaker, was available, informative, and frequently around but unobtrusive. He takes wonderful care of the premises and the guests. We've rented many vacation homes. This was by far the nicest. It will make your vacation very special." - Alan and Sharon S., 05/16/2012 (VRBO Review)

"Good Morning, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the amazing Orchid House. We loved the views from each room, the pool, the well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, walk in closets and all the amenities. Orchid house exceeded our expectations. We met Evan on Saturday and he was wonderful, showing us the house and surrounding areas. He even called one day to let us know the water conditions. Upon leaving Orchid House we were unclear what to do with unopened food items and good fruit. We left them behind hoping Evan or the cleaners could use the food. We hope this was appropriate. Thank you for the use of your wonderful home, we will certainly recommend to others. And a Big thank you for the wine in the refrigerator we used to toast my parents 60th wedding anniversary.

"We had an amazing vacation in Kauai with a group of 19 friends. 7 of us shared the Orchid house, and were the envy of the rest of the group. The bedrooms were all generous sizes, the bathroom finishes beautiful, and the kitchen a dream. Everything was spotless and we made good use of the boogie boards and snorkel gear provided. The location is perfect - close enough to walk to the beaches but one road back from the traffic of the main road. We watched whales, enjoyed the sunrise, and loved the refreshing breeze that kept the mosquitoes at bay and the air conditioner off. Everyone we met in Kauai was so friendly, including the property manager who had many great suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. Highlights for our group included golfing at Poipu Bay, hiking the Waimea canyon,and taking our 10 year old son for his first scuba dive, where we listened to the whales sing underwater and swam with the turtles. We can highly recommend Seasport Divers in Poipu who took some very nervous first timers ( adult and children ) on an introductory 40 foot dive and put them at ease. We can also highly recommend Keiko's Paradise Restaurant in Poipu village shopping center. Great place for dinner and very accommodating with kids. The Orchid house lived up to our expectations from the beautiful online photos. We were not disappointed. Everything ran smoothly from our initial inquiries about the property to follow up after our stay. We can't wait to return." - Jane W., Vancouver, British Columbia, 01/25/2012 (VRBO Review)

Huge supply of beach towels and all the toys for snorkeling, boogie boards, etc. The house is even better than the pictures on the web site show. House manager on the island was extremely helpful.

"We stayed at this beautiful home for 10 days and it was one of our best vacations. The house was even more beautiful than we imagined and it had everything we could have needed. Plenty of snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and boogie boards. We did not have to rent anything for the beach. Our favorite part was that after a long day exploring Kauai, we would come home and relax by the pool. Our teen age boys loved the stereo system in the house and being able to listen to their music outside by the pool. We were a party of 7 and every one of us loved the house and our stay there. The house manager was extremely helpful in showing us around the neighborhood and showing us where to go for grocery shopping and restaurants. I have recommended this house to all my friends and relatives and would love to come back to Orchid House someday again." - Erika B., 09/08/2011 (VRBO Review)

"Our vacation at the Orchid House in Poipu was simply amazing. My fiance and I were there with our children (8 of us in total) to enjoy the beautiful location and to get married. The property was extremely well maintained and the property manager was very helpful providing information on local attractions, activities and restaurants. The beach was within walking distance and grocery stores and other shopping just up the road. a short distance. This was a fabulous vacation. As our children said...the vacation of a lifetime. We would definitely recommend this property and location to our friends and relatives. Hope to return soon. Mahalo nui" - Vrbo Traveler, 09/07/2011 (VRBO Review)

"We enjoyed the Orchid house very much. The house is just as stunning as the pictures posted on your website. Thank you a hundred times over for making our trip memorable. We will be sure to book our next stay at one of your luxury vacation rental homes the next time we are in Kauai." - Carlotta C., Markham ON L6E 1M2,Ca, 07/24/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"I am not sure I can sum up the awesome qualities of this home in this small space! We have rented many homes over the years in Hawaii. They always look so incredible on the computer, however, when we see them in person, they are far from incredible. The Ordhid Home is an exception. This home is far better in person. It has every imaginable amenity one can imagine. Other than our food, there was nothing we had to purchase. Extremely well-stocked kitchen cabinets allowed us to use real dishes and not paper plates!!! High quality cookware along with pyrex containers were a real plus. Kids? No problem, The home had a port-a-crib, high-chair and every pool toy one child could ever want.The furniture was comfy which is something we also found unusual in a rental. I don't think I have ever stayed in a rental unit (including home, condo, hotel) that was as immaculate as the Orchid Home. The property manager, Evan was extremely helpful in showing us the area and making suggestions for dining and beaches etc. We spent 2 weeks there and we were all sad to leave this amazing place. The pool was beautiful. The owners did not spare a penny furnishing this place. If you are even slightly thinking about renting this home, don't hesitate. It is a dream!!" - Linda, Milford, NJ, USA, 06/14/2011 (VRBO Review)

Mahalo! We are so glad to hear that you had a wonderful stay (Big smile).

"Ning, I wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you how nice a time we had staying at your home in Poipu. Evan did a great job on the initial check in and your house had everything we needed to make it our home for the week. You have quite a home away from home! Thanks for letting us stay there.

"The house is just as spectacular in person as it is in the photos posted online. We spent 1 week in May 2011 with a party of 8 people in this wonderful home. The four bedrooms are all master bedrooms with their own baths- fantastic convenience. The house is immaculately clean, the house manager is accessible, super friendly and full of tips for seeing the local sites. The owners are very responsive to all questions and were a delight to deal with as well. The house is conveniently located- you can walk to Shipwreck beach or to the beach near Brennecke's easily. It is a short drive to local restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. Overall a truly wonderful experience- would recommend highly to anyone wishing to stay on beautiful Kauai." - Heather, Corona, California, 05/13/2011 (VRBO Review)

"Three families, including 3 young grandchildren (1-4 years old) vacationed at The Orchid House for 1 week. An incredible house maximizing the +200 degree view of the ocean. Watch whales and dophins while having your morning coffee! The owners provided everything imaginable to provide a safe, relaxing vacation. From beach accessories, snorkel equip., plentiful towels and mats, children's toys, etc. etc., etc. Even an extra electric high capacity dryer! The swimming pool is magnificant including a small kid pool. The resident manager was so helpful explaining the house, and recommending tours and drives! We highly recommend The Orchid for your next vacation to Poipu Kauai! A truly spectacular house!" - Brian, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, 03/02/2011 (VRBO Review)
