=============
One of our Guest reviews which we think captures what you would feel from this Kauai trip:

We had the most wonderful vacation! Bird of Paradise was perfect for our family: the location, layout, size, pool, VIEWS!, and everything. Evan (home manager) gave us a warm, gracious, and informative greeting and orientation. Kauai is just stunningly beautiful.  The weather is just perfect. Nice breeze, and views so beautiful it takes your breath away. We loved going all around Kauai, but our favorite view was right there from your deck. Stunning. It leaves you speechless. It was absolutely wonderful.
Casey, Erin, and the kids declared it the “best trip ever”! They go all the time so that’s high praise.
=============

Bird of Paradise home is located on the rim of a dormant crater. This house sits high and is positioned perfectly to take advantage of the panoramic views of Pu'u Wanawana crater and Ha'upu mountain range, the Pacific, rainbows, and sunrises.

You can walk to Poipu Bay golf course (PGA grand slam), Poipu Beach (voted the best beach in the USA!), Brennecke's Beach, Turtle Cove, and Shipwreck Beach within a 5-10 minute pleasant walk through the green belts of Poipu resort.

This Bird of Paradise vacation rental home: Is built on the shoulders of the crater that erupted last in Kauai one million years ago, therefore we get the best views of the majestic Pu'u Wanawana crater (another one nearby) and Ha'upu mountain range, distant ocean, rainbow, and sunrise.

The colorful tropical flowers of the hillside and dozens of bird of paradise flowers greet you upon your arrival at this 4 bedroom 3.5 bath home. Step inside the expansive living area connected to the lanai and you are surrounded by large picture windows framing swaying coconuts and green mountains, you'll know you are in a tropical paradise. The L-shaped design of the home and the huge wraparound lanai encourage relaxing and absorbing the sunshine and the gorgeous views.

The Bird of Paradise Home is set up on two levels with very private bedrooms making it perfect for a large family or two small families with wireless internet throughout.

Enjoy the private heated saltwater pool at home and the use of the Poipu Kai resort swimming pool, hot tub, and eight soft and hard tennis courts for our guests.

You are only a 5-10 minute walk away, through the lush green belts of the resort, from the Poipu and Shipwreck beaches and The Poipu Bay golf course, home of the PGA Grand Slam. The resort has 24-hour security for your peace of mind.

Dining and Family Rooms: Large picture windows on all three sides offer majestic views of the mountains, rainbows, and coconuts swaying in the trade winds. The large open living room area of ~1000 square feet easily accommodates large families in comfort. The family room features cable TV, Wireless Internet, and books. Between the spectacular views, beautiful sunrises, rainbows, large lanai, comfortable furnishings, and tropical gardens, you may not want to go home from this first-class vacation home.

Poipu has the best climate and beaches: On Kauai. The beaches can be enjoyed by toddlers and adults alike. There are wading areas for children and excellent snorkeling for all ages. In addition to watching monk seals and turtles at the beaches, there is an infinite variety of outdoor activities ranging from horseback riding, hiking, and kayaking to golf to challenge everyone.
Within 2-3 miles, there are many shopping malls, and outdoor activities for you to enjoy.
Poipu Shopping Village: Offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and retail stores. A great place to find gifts, art, clothing, or groceries.

Great Family Vacation Home
Was an amazing house to stay in, had all the amenities we needed for a group of 6 + 3 kiddos. Tons of useful gear for beach time, and the pool was great during the baby naps. Can't recommend this house any more.

Fantastic!
I tend to do a lot of research and we chose together with those we are traveling with to make sure everyone is in agreement for where we will be staying. Bird of Paradise was the home we chose and we looked at many. I have to tell you we had been planning for probably 1 1/2 yrs for our family to go on a trip to Kauai together. We were looking for the perfect home and this was it! We were not disappointed and were Wow'd by the first site of the house. I can't say enough about how comfortable it was and how well equipped. One of the best things about this house is the balcony goes around the house and is higher than any others around which makes for great views of sunrises and sunsets. It's just a short walk to the beach to view either. It is in the perfect location! You will not be disappointed by this house. Everything about it was just great for our family. The pool was so great for the grandkids and also was one of the deciding factors. Enough room for private times for ourselves as well as together time(mostly) in the fantastic living room with views. At first we had wanted an oceanfront place but we are so glad we decided on the Bird of Paradise with Mountain views and small ocean view. Ming was so nice to work with and Evan was there for anything that was needed, although we didn't need anything, so much there. I just can't say enough about the communication, the ease, the beauty of this place. You will not be disappointed. It was hard to leave <3

Perfect Kauai Stay!
We loved this home and its surroundings. It had everything we needed to enjoy Kauai and the beaches- we didn’t have to bring a thing. We loved the view, the walk to nearby beaches, the sunny Lanai and the comfy beds. Evan the house manager was available for any issues or questions and knowledgeable about all there is to go and do. We did a lot of cooking and found the kitchen stocked with everything we needed.

Wonderful Place
We really enjoyed our stay. The location makes it walkable to a number of places, including Poipu Beach. The house is stocked with everything that you need for an outing to the beach, including things for small children. We enjoyed the pool at the house as well. I highly recommend this property!

A slice of heaven!!
This home is even more gorgeous in person, than the pictures. It is beautifully decorated, the kitchen has every gadget & appliance you could possibly need. It is within minutes of Poipu beach & shopping village. It is spacious with wrap around windows of just beautiful views. We spent most of our time, when back at "home", out on the deck with warm trade winds blowing. My brother in law enjoyed the pool & all the beach gear is there so we packed it up & off to the beach we went. All the conveniences, perfect location -- couldn't ask for a better vacation, thank you Ning & Evan!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Ning Gulari -Ohana Kauai

Host profile image
Erdogan, Ning, Deniz, Aylin, and Bora Gulari. We live in Ann Arbor, Michigan and now moved to Kauai in 2022. Erdogan is a professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ning is a researcher working in the implantable devices research area. Bora is an American competitive sailor. He competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, in the mixed Nacra 17. Deniz has just graduated from UM, working in the implantable bone/hip replacement industry.

We all live by being honest, work hard, play hard and enjoy life' Erdogan bought this Bird of Paradise Home in June 1992, a few months before the hurricane Iniki hit Kauai on September 11, 1992. At the time he was also the association president for the Makanui Condo Association and he came to the Island with the first flights from the mainland, bringing a generator along to power several of the neighboring homes. He also brought lots of tarpaulins (some of which you may still see in the garage) to distribute to neighbors and use in covering holes in the roof which we and the neighbors did get. We are planning to live in this home when we retire so we take care of it the best way we can and put all our effort and labor of love into it. We enjoy our vacations in Kauai and love to share the same experiences with you.

We started managing Bird of Paradise home, the Orchid house, and Hawaiian Hibiscus vacation rental homes, all of which are in Poipu, Kauai. We also have our own site, HawaiiKauaiVacationRental dot com offers direct booking and provides detailed information (floorpan) on each home. When you are on the map, you can search "The Bird of Paradise home, Kauai" our location & details will show up and where ever you are on the island, you can get to our home easily.
We value our guests very much and want to remain friends and share our love of Kauai with them. I can be reached call/text (734)-223-2209 at anytime Mahalo and enjoy our Beautiful Kauai Island

Why they chose this property

After looking at all the other Hawaiian islands ( excluding Molokai) it became obvious to us Kauai was by far the most beautiful and had the most friendly locals. We like water sports, windsurfing, kayaking, snorkeling, etc. and we also liked the green lace-like mountains of Kauai. Poipu had both great mountain views, some of the best beaches on the island and great snorkeling, and easy access to Mahalepu our favorite beach for windsurfing. Crestview is the best location in Poipu Kai. Our house has panoramic 270-degree views of the beautiful Hau'pu and Waimea mountain ranges great views of the sunrise in the morning. Our house is on the shoulder of the last active crater on Kauai and because of its high location, nothing blocks these spectacular views! I can be reached call/text (734)-223-2209 at anytime

What makes this property unique

The Bird of Paradise home was built at the right angle to get the best Panoramic views of Poipu, Pu'u Wanawana crater, Ha'upu mountain range (black mountain), Sunrises, and partial Ocean views! At night when you sleep with windows open, you will hear the sound of ocean waves in the distance.
Our guest said the view from our Bird of Paradise home is " Views to die for " We love to lay on the chaise lounge, reading our favorite book, stay in the front lanai, watching coconut leaves swaying in the wind, seeing 270 degrees mountain to ocean view, every time we are here, we have to admit that we are in "Paradise" If you have more question, I can be reached call/text (734)-223-2209
