Über Andrew Potts
I moved to Kauai in early 2023 from San Diego after visiting the island for just a few days in 2022. Since then, it has been an amazing home and I'm still not done exploring everything there is to offer. I love sharing my van with first-time visitors and island regulars/residents. Please let me know if you'd like help deciding what to do and places to see!

We had a great time! Excellent communication, easy to drive. Cant beat the price for accommodation and vehicle all in one.
Water and electricity easy to use with the flip of a switch. Van runs great (tho AC not terribly cold).
We were two friends- spent the first night both on the mattress but also packed an inflatable sleeping pad which we used the second night (plenty of room to stretch out on the floor of the van).
Gas burners worked great- we just made coffee and heated up left overs.
It felt secure- looks much like a working van with no windows into the sleeping/living space- this was a plus for us as we wanted to be more discrete (even when sleeping in campsites).
Highly recommended.
Thanks Andrew!

We had a great time with this set up! Andrew was so communicative and easy to work with. He picked us up from the airport, and organized a later check out. The van itself was clean and got the job done. I would say it's pretty small if you happen to be tall; other reviews and the description mentioned it, but I would not recommend for anyone over 6ft tall. I'm 5'9" and my boyfriend is 6'5" so it was a VERY tight squeeze and we could not really extend our legs. We made it work for a quick 2 night trip! Other than that, the van was perfect for what we needed.

When we got to the van the battery was dead. The owner sent a friend to jump it who shows up with a dead charger. Then asks us to purchase an extension cord to charge it. Then asks us to flag someone in the parking lot with jumper cables to jump it. 5 hours later, after I called roadside assistance, we finally get going and the van doesn’t even drive! The transmission must be going out on it. The owner denies any knowledge of such problems. We ended up parking the van at camp and getting a rental car for the entire trip. The roof on the van leaked water heavily during the rain. The a/c didn’t work at all. And we couldn’t get the power adapter box to work for the fan that was provided. In the middle of the night the solar power system alarm went off waking me up. Amongst other issues. Realistically, the van should be retired if it isn’t going to be completely restored. After this experience it will be a miracle if I rent from this website again.

We rented it for two weeks, the van worked perfectly, when Andrew gave it to us it was clean and in perfect conditions.
He was super helpful and available at all times. Gave us advice and everything we needed. I would 100% recommend it for anyone who wants to have a fun, outdoors experience in Kauai. We got the camping experience but in a really comfortable and clean van. If you are shorter than 5’3 you can fully stand inside which makes it even better. Thanks Andrew!

We are two friends who rented the van for a whole weekend (Friday to Sunday), and we are wordless about how amazing the experience was. First, the owners prepared the van with all the necessary supplies to make our stay comfortable. After that, they were available at any time to help us with any doubt which made us feel confident whenever driving it. Regarding the van's conditions, it is simply perfect. We are recommending the experience so much!

If you know what van life is about and love a vintage experience the Snowball will be your perfect fit! Just a heads up this van doesn’t really have showering capabilities so make sure you investigate how you’ll do your bathing well in advance but if you’re on a budget, especially and you don’t mind using the YMCA or beach showers taking a van around the island is the absolute best way to see it. We love the option to sleep upstairs or downstairs, depending on preference and it was so convenient to have a kitchen with running water at our fingertips. Andrew was such a responsive and responsible host. Make sure you ask him any questions or doubts you have before you get in the van so you feel prepared for the adventure to come. We’re happy to call Andrew and Julia amigos after such a wonderful welcoming.

Andrew made everything super easy from an airport delivery, he was easily contactable and provided some great insight and advice for the trip ahead. No fuss check in and out. The van is kitted out so well, my partner and I both being chefs by trade enjoyed the kitchen setup with utensils galore. Our only concern was that we couldn't stay longer!

Andrea’s van was a great way to explore Kauai! My husband and I rented it for our 8-day trip to celebrate our anniversary and had our best vacation in a long, long time. Wish that we were still there. The van was a nice upgrade to our Volkswagen Eurovan that we have at home and gave us lots of flexibility. We used the van as our base camp for our Nāpali Coast backpacking trip and camped Kumu Resort, Kokee State Park, and Salt Pond Beach Park. Kumu was our favorite camp with nice neighbors, hot shower, and a beautiful beach. Andrew was a responsive and wonderful hosting giving us great recommendations for hiking., food, beaches, and more. Pickup and dropoff of the van at Andrew’s house was an easy Uber ride from the airport. Definitely recommend Andrew and his van for your next trip to Kauai:)

Bed was little short for anyone 6 foot+ might need a bigger bed. Overall great camper and easy to drive.

Andrew was a great host, very helpful and responsive and made everything easy for us with delivering and returning the van.
The van worked well for our purpose of wanting to see a lot of the island without being tethered down. It is in good shape and comes with some nice amenities. The bed is most suitable for a solo person or a couple with both parties under 5’8’’.

Thanks for the review Shannon! I just ordered a custom pad to extend the bed out a bit further. I’ll include pictures when the van is updated, glad you enjoyed your trip to Kauai!
