My husband and I stayed at the Dolphin Suite for a short visit. It was extremely clean, was well appointed with comfortable beds, nice soft towels. We also appreciated that beach towels, chairs, and an umbrella were provided - as well as local Kauai coffee. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to everything. We especially enjoyed the sports bar right next door (Kalapaki Joe's), although it can get a bit loud on busy nights - so you'll just need to shut the windows, or head over and join in the fun!

Location is great. Home is well kept, and clean. Plenty of room for all our family and to sleep and be comfortable. We had stayed there, a few years ago, we're excited to return.
Maintance staff were very friendly, professional. Only concerns, needing basic supplies, i.e. bars of soap, towels and paper towels, for 7 people, for 10 day stay. A midweek cleaning, and/ or refilling of supplies would have been appreciated. This was the practice, during our last stay. Then calling the office, would not have been needed. Most office staff were kind and professional.
Perfect location for anyone especially with kids!

Everything we wanted in a rental was here at this place. 5 minute walk to the ocean and to a few restaurants. AC. Large house with lots of room to move around in with our group of 7. And easy and quick communication with the host. Highly recommend. We would stay there again!

This could hold a huge family with lots of separate rooms.
Sports bar next door could get noisy but when they had live Hawaiian musicians, I opened the windows farther. It seemed to close at a decent time. Very comfortable & the Athletic club included was a real nice surprise. Nice to have that when the ocean was too wild! The beach chairs & wonderful towels were much appreciated. The one problem I had was taken care of straightaway with their maintenance man Tom, who was very helpful.
The Dolphin Suite was awesome!

We had a great time at the Dolphin Suite! The place is huge and it was very clean, the hosts were very nice and using the “Rental Host” app was quite useful for communicating. Rather than a Narrative, I will list a set of Pro’s and Con’s. Please not that NONE of the cons were big and I would definitely stay there again!!!
Pro’s - Location, the Suite is located near the beach and it was just a short 5 minute walk to the beach. - Kalapaki Joe’s bar and Grill is right next door and there is a path to their parking lot (pro tip: park in their lot for quick access to the condo, this can save you almost a mile drive to get there) - Hosts were great. - 15 minute wal to Grand Hyatt resort and several others in the area. If you are attending a wedding or something at a resort, stay here and enjoy the walk) Con’s - Internet was slow and barely usable (this is the only item that was a BIG con to me) - TV had no guide, and to get to a channel, there was only an up and down button. We wanted to see if football was on and couldn’t maneuver without getting frustrated. - Ceiling fan light in Master Bedroom was not functioning. The Rental Host company came out to check and determined it was broken. Was promised to be fixed within 48 hours but unfortunately that didn’t happen during our stay. - steps to the second floor had trim on the edge of the step (only half of the steps). This trim made it uncomfortable to walk up/down the steps. Suggestions - invest in cable or satellite TV. When spending thousands of dollars to stay somewhere it would be nice to not be frustrated by trying to find a specific channel or show. I know we are in paradise but sometimes you do want some tv - Create a laminated welcome card that list the amenities available. I didn’t realize until almost my last day there that we had access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club for free - This place was huge. It should be liste

This house had all the amenities that any large family or group would ever want. It's huge with loads of space, beds and linens. We were really surprised at how convenient the nice white sand beach is, just a block away. The place was extremely clean and well stocked with all necessary cooking items like oil and salt and pepper. There's even a garage with all the necessary beach gear, chairs, boogie boards etc. This is one really awesome beach house.
Dolphin Suite Review

The location and condo was perfect for our needs. Just so disappointed that we had to leave on Tuesday am instead of Saturday because of the impending hurricanes. It was costly for us as well and unlikely that I will be able to bring my whole family again like we did this time. I guess that is the drawback of choosing a vacation home as opposed to a hotel where cancellations are possible. The condo was in a great location, had lots of space and was well-equipped. We had no complaints whatsoever regarding the Dolphin, just that the weather did not cooperate and that we did not want to risk our safety with Iselle and Julio on their way.
Amazing location and overall pretty decent place

The duplex was clean, and in an amazing location, but the living room furniture was not particularly nice and very uncomfortable, and the lack of a view in the living area was a real bummer. For these reasons, we didn't want to hang at the house very much. (I can't figure out why the owner didn't make the upstairs the living area since there's an amazing view from the master porch. Or, at a minimum, do sliding glass doors from the bedroom....) Luckily, the beach is soo close! Thanks for having us.

The Dolphin was great. Spacious, clean, and great location. Our family and grandchildren, ages 6, 12, 17 had a great time. The dolphin gave the teenagers their own space, but also a spacious kitchen and living room where all 7 of us could be together to celebrate the holidays.
Location was in walking distance of all the great local beaches and restaurants.

This place was ideal for our holiday. We are a family of 4 and we had Grandparents along as well. Plently (oodles) of room and a great set-up for two groups. The house was clean, the decor and furniture were beautiful and the location just couldn't be beat! Best boogie boarding beach on the island is right at the end of the road (2 min walk) - and even our 6 year old was in the waves having a blast. The garage is stocked with beach goodies and the wagon literally made our holiday as we could pack up the two kids and all of our beach gear and pull it down the road with ease. Boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkel gear, beach towels...you name it, it's here! Would not hesitate to recommend this place.

House is in a great location, steps from the beach. We loved having the barbecue grill outside to cook burgers or freshly caught fish. We had only 2 gripes about the house-- the stove needs cleaning after every use for some reason, no matter how much you scrub the pans, and it is not easy to clean, taking 10-15 minutes of scrubbing. No fun. The second gripe, more like just a slight disappointment, was that there really wasn't a covered lanai to be outside when it rains. The covered entry looks at a parking lot, and the ocean view side has no protection from the rain, so you are stuck inside if you don't want to get wet. Aside from those things, we loved the house, you can fit an army in there it is so big! And the kitchen was very well furnished, plenty of pots and pans, and tools, and utensils. Great house, and a great week. Thank you so much!

We arrived in Kauai on July 15th and were there for a week. The dolphin suite was PERFECT for us, in fact we probably could have had another couple or family with the amount of space :) There were 2 adults & 3 children (3, 7, 13). We really loved the layout & the location --extremely convenient, quick walk to Poipu Beach, the beach park and many restaurants. I know previous guests complained about the noise from the restaurant behind the unit, but I found it less noisy than a hotel & the convenience of grabbing a quick bite or take-out after long days was wonderful.
Overall we the only complaint would be that we weren't there longer!! Great location, beautiful, clean home with tons of space and everything you could possibly need! Can't wait for our return!!

We enjoyed our stay in the Dolphin Suite. It is large and roomy and can sleep a minor army. The location is walking distance to Poipu Beach Park. A few draw backs: There are no closets upstairs in the master suite so you have no where to hang clothes unless you share closet space with the downstairs guests. The balcony upstairs has a view, but you can not sit and enjoy it as the rail is right at eye level and blocks your sight. But overall, we had a fun stay as heck, we were on Kauai and the living was easy!

Pros-Great location. Ran down to watch whales @Beach in 2 minutes. Oodles of space.Can’t beat price for location and amount of space. Amenities for the rental were phenomenal. All top-notch furniture. Provided extras-three grills, condiments, cooking oil, foil, saran wrap, spices, detergent and dryer sheets, beach toys, boogie boards. Service-quick response to requests always a yes, yet with some room for improvement. Called to express concern about front door lacking a deadbolt (young children running out). Person came out same day and installed a door latch. Even fulfilled baking powder request.
Cons- Communication-number of instances of failed/bad communication. During reservation process, mentioned needing a high chair and late checkout. No high chair upon arrival and the late check out was not communicated to the cleaning crew. Service was good but too discrete. The high chair was brought over quickly but no call to us. Wife was “surprised” when someone came upstairs to use the bathroom. When we requested things, they would be brought over had to “discover” them. Facilities-One bathroom tub faucet was way too short. The water hit the edge of the tub rather than went into the tub and spilled everywhere. No closet or wardrobe for upstairs. Doorbell and house phone weren’t working. wireless went down twice. ran out of trash liners. Were missing utensils such as the BBQ tools, can opener (apparently all next door). Not enough bowls for cooking/serving. Overall experience was good. Genuine effort to go above and beyond by Kauai Exclusive really stood out. Would definitely stay again.

You can not beat the location of this property! It's a 2 minute walk to Kalapaki Joe's, a 4 minute walk to the beach, and a 6 minute walk to Brenneke's. Located on the south side of the island, it's convenient to drive to any point of interest or excursion. The place is huge with plentry of storage and places to hang out. Our group was just two couples and we each got our own floor, but larger groups would be easily accommodated.

We will do it again! Gotta say that from the start. Great house at a great location next to one of the best boogie board beaches on the Kauai. That was a BIG plus since it was an easy walk for the kids, which means me and my wife didn't have to drive them everywhere to keep them "entertained". The house is HUGE and our kids and their friends were "somewhere" upstairs or outside mostly leaving us to enjoy the downstairs until somebody got hungry. We all walked down to the beach park for our daily swim and to watch the turtles feed. The house was well stocked with everything from kitchen ware/appliances, dish and laundry soap, plenty of towels and even some spices. We could see the ocean from the upper deck and I slept outdoors under the stars there one night. Even saw a shooting star! We used the AC when we first got there but next day we opened the windows and let the nice breeze in for the remainder of our time. Very safe, secure location for kids to wander in. Kauai Exclusive has some other very nice properties but this one was sure great for big family fun. Josh was easy to work with. We will use them again when the time comes.

Generally most satisfied with the property. A couple of comments: No closet upstairs - needs some place to hang clothes; Only one towel rack in baths - not enough for the number of people who will be using that large a house; Faucet over baths is not long enough to reach the tub, resulting in most of the water spilling onto the side of the tub. With these exceptions, very pleased with the property.

The TV had a line through it on the turtle side so if we tried to watch the news in the evening it was annoying. The microwave on the dolphin side did not fully work. The ice machine in the refrigerator did not work at all on the turtle side and very minimal on the dolphin side. Suggestion would be having a light for the stairs. As we would leave the house early in the morning and not return until evening and the stairs were difficult to see in the dark.

We had the pleasure of staying a week at 'The Dolphin' in Poipu. The facilities were fantastic and very comfortable, although there were a few issues with some of the kitchen appliances. Even though the suite is right next door to a bar/restaurant the noise level was usually quieted after 8:00pm making relaxation possible and sitting out on the deck watching the ocean was lovely.
The fact that we had a very short walk to the great beach at Poipu was also greatly appreciated the evening that there was a tsunami we were outside of the area that had to evacuate! We also appreciated having a sheltered space for our rental car and knowing that no matter how crowded the beach became that we always had a private spot to park. We look forward to returning again in the future and will certainly book again.

We loved the house. It was so close to poipu beach. There was a great ocean view from the 2nd floor lanai and again, the house is close enough to the ocean that we could hear the surf crashing. The house is fully stocked with things that you might need and that make your stay more comfortable. We were very sad to see our vacation come to an end. . .
