Larger units can sleep up to six people; the roomy living areas and separate bedrooms allow each guest a feeling of space and freedom.

Conveniently located across the street from the shops and restaurants of Poipu Shopping Village, and just a few minutes from historic Koloa Town, guests can also explore more of Kauai with a scenic drive west to Waimea or east to Lihue, the Wailua River, Kapaa Town, and Hanalei on the north shore.

The Kauai Marathon and Half Marathon are scheduled for September 5, 2010. Participants for both distances will run the first 11 miles together through a winding tour of lush Kauai, then split for the home stretch or another scenic loop. The course follows the contour of the beautiful coastline with picturesque beaches, rugged volcanic peaks and green tropical rain forests.
