Ellie's Koloa House - 2bed 2bath near Poipu Beach

Description from the owner

For years Ellie ran the popular Koloa Landing Cottages, then in 2007, she sold that business and renovated an old plantation house in the heart of Koloa. This two-bedroom/two-bathroom home, surrounded by tropical gardens, is for the traveler who wants a “real” Hawaii experience living in a residential area, like a local resident.

Ellie, who has a terrific eye for color and design has taken this plain-Jane house and converted it into a whimsical tropical cottage — perfect for a family. Entry is through a plant-filled, outdoor lanai, where you will find you will spend all your time — just like Hawaii residents.

The house (wi...th full kitchen) has antique furniture recovered in old Hawaiian print fabric, with paddle fans to keep the house cool, TV, washer and dryer, barbecue, and everything you can think of to make your vacation. Just a mile and a half to the beach and walking distance to Koloa town’s shops and restaurants. — FROMMER’S REVIEWRead more

  Ellie is a lovely person, has true aloha spirit, and makes sure you are taken care of. The Koloa house is simple decor and has a relaxed feel to it. If you want fancy or upscale, then this is not the place for you. The house is on a very quiet dead end lane above the touristed Poipu area, and is in a working class neighborhood. Close buy is the shopping center where you can pick up a hula dog, see free hula shows on tuesdays and thursdays, and general touristy shopping. There are island birds and roosters that wake you up every morning. I started my day early generally because of this. The lychee tree in the back may drop lychee's on the roof with a thud. It's was a great place to stay that fit my smaller budget. I would stay again. Be informed that Ellie asks for cash or a check for payment. no credit card payment. (Carrying a big pile of cash?!!) Maybe a paypal feature will come on her web site soon! Good place to stay. Aloha.
