Description
Known to all who frequent the Poipu Beach coastline, “The Little Grass Shack” offers the charm and essence of Kauai’s classic architecture. Originally built in 1939, fully rebuilt in the 1990’s, and recently inspected the home has been lovingly maintained and styled to share its authentic character.Set along a sleepy one-way road where neighbors wave and walk to the beach that affronts the neighborhood, The Little Grass Shack has opened its doors to guests from all over the world since the 1980’s. Returning guests come year after year, calling the 2-bedroom property their home on Kauai.The white board and batten exterior, composition roof (circa 2008) and front lanai façade bring a smile and beckon you to the front French door. Sit at the table on the lanai and revel in the sounds of the ocean, beauty of the simple and thoughtful lines, mature landscaping, and the sensibility of this architecture with its deep overhangs. Inside, you’ll observe the owner’s sensitivity to a bygone era’s aesthetic that translates as welcoming, comfortable and appropriate. Douglas fir floors meet wood paneled walls while French doors and windows pour in light. Furnishings say “beach” in wicker, blues and whites. Both the living room and kitchen come amply proportioned and appointed with all the necessities. Bedrooms are air conditioned and comfortably sized with a shared bath.On the practical side, the property includes an oversized 1car garage with tandem parking for at least 2-3 vehicles. Yet, when residing here, the preferred method of transportation will be on foot or bike as you venture to the beach, surfing, farmer’s market, restaurants and shops.FEATURES LAND AREA: 3,920 SF INTERIORS: 744 SF LANAI: 296 sf BED/BATH: 2 Bed (air conditioned) / 1 Bath + Outdoor shower ARCHITECURE: Classic Kauai Historic ROOF: Composition GARAGE: 270 ETC: Outdoor shower VACATION RENTAL PERMIT: TVNC #5026
