Located on a picturesque lava bluff, our condo offers a stunning and unobstructed view of the ocean from our top floor unit. As you relax on the lanai, watching the ocean, you can hear rhythmic sounds of the surf crashing on the lava below.
The condo complex offers several amenities. Enjoy the private swimming pool and heated jacuzzi. Play tennis on the tennis court or grill out in the barbecue pavillion. The pace is very laid back, the essence of Kauai. The condo is comfortable for couples or families. There have been several honeymoon couples that enjoy the privacy of the complex.
Decorator furnishings and a well equiped gourmet kitchen will make your stay a delight. The unit is cooled by the trade winds which are usually quite brisk. Please note there are no elevators. The condo has all the conveniences you will need to enjoy your vacation. There are beach chairs, beach towels, and a cooler for picnics. A washer and dryer come in handy. Cable and high speed wireless internet are there for your use. While sitting out on the lanai, email all your friends about your wonderful vacation!
1/2 mile to the east is the Hyatt Resort and Shipwreck Beach. The grounds are incredible! 1/2 mile to the west is Poipu Beach and the Marriott Waiohai. Here you can swim on a life guarded beach, snorkle near a small island, boogie board the waves, take surfing lessons, or enjoy the outdoor aquarium. There are monk seals, turtles and beautiful tropical fish in the water with you. You can rent equipment at Poipu Beach.
The legendary Poipu Bay Golf Course is minutes away and is open to the public.
The best restaurants on Kauai are in Poipu, Roy's Bar and Grill, The Beach House, and Tidepools at the Hyatt. Brick oven pizza is a 15 minute drive away. There is shopping near by as well.
The condo is located on the southern most tip of the island, the sunny part of the island. Drive 1-1/2 hours north to the rain forest part of the island. There are many adventures there. Drive 1-1/2 hours to the west and visit the arid side of the island. Visit the Grand Canyon of Hawaii, Waimea Canyon, a 45 minute drive to the west. There are many hiking trails here. All this is packed into one island with our condo located in the middle of it all, with an ocean view.
There are more things to do on Kauai than you can do on one vacation so plan on coming back, several times. We hope you enjoy the island as much as we do! Mahalo for considering our home.

Owner's Profile
Why the Owner Chose Koloa
The south side of the island is the sunny side of the island. As the complex sits right on the ocean, there is always a breeze,unless the trade winds are completly gone. At night there is always an off shore breeze. I like hearing the waves crash on the lava bluff.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
Wildlife abounds on Kauai and you can watch it right from the lanai. During the winter, the whales swim quite close to shore as the water is deep below the lava bluff. The beaches usually have monk seals sunning themselves along with people. Turtles swim along the rocks. Beautiful reef fish are everywhere, especially around the lava outcroppings.

My family and I rented this condo while we were on the island for my daughter's wedding. The pictures of the property grounds did not do it justice. it was much more beautiful. We watched the whales every morning while we had our coffee on the lanai. The grounds were well cared for and the pool was well maintained. The kitchen was immaculate and provided all the equipment needed for cooking. The beds in the bedrooms were comfortable. There was a washer and dryer and the owner provided beach towels, boogie boards, and beach chairs. The internet worked great, there was cable television, and a phone. We also cooked out at the barbeque pit. The owner was very easy to work with and gave us allot of great ideas with contact numbers for things to do while on the island. We even had a wonderful welcome basket when we arrived. There were no bugs in this condo so you don't have to worry about bringing home any stowaways. We found that we could walk to the beaches, the Marriott, and a shopping area about 2 miles away. We had to drive to visit anywhere else. We enjoyed sailing, hiking, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, boogie boarding, a luau, and shopping. We had a wonderful time and loved our stay at this place!
Owner response:We are happy our condo will be part of your memories of your daughter's wedding. Kauai is such a special place and our condo never ceases to make us feel whole.

My wife and i rented this condo for 8 days. It is just a short walk to Poipu Beach and a short drive to Lihue. The views are very nice and both the sunrise and sunset can be watched from the grounds. The trade winds keep the condo cool day and night. Construction was in progress while we were there but it was never an issue. If our travels take us back to Kauai we will surely look this place up.
Owner response:I hope you think Kauai is worth a follow up vacation location. There is so much to do you need months to explore! We have been coming for 11 years and still have just scratched the surface.

We (four 60 + women) who travel together occasionally, just got back from 8 nights here and had a wonderful time. The owners are very responsive and fair. The description was accurate. We found all kinds of cooking utensils, cutlery, even food stuffs in the cupboards. The place is delightful, restful and immaculate. Furniture, carpeting, and appliances looked brand new, beds were very comfortable. The view is spectacular! We can't say enough about the owners who supplied us with maps and information about activities before we arrived that we might find enjoyable and they were right.

What a beautiful place to stay! The condo is totally up to date with every convenience of home. It was spacious and comfy in every detail. The owner was efficient in her response, as well as, helpful in every aspect of our stay, from beginning to end. Her detailed letter on "what to do", where to shop, and how to stay safe was greatly appreciated and extremely beneficial to the success of our over-all experience. From the welcome basket, all the way down to the beach "fun" supplies, we were impressed. Our family of seven (+ one groom to be mid-stay) would choose this condo again in a heartbeat, not only for location, location, location, but also it's ambiance, and the kind and thoughtful owner. Fourteen + two thumbs, WAY up!!!!!

My friends and myself stayed here in the end of April and were very happy with the condo, the pool, the views, and met very nice people while here. Bonnie was wonderful to work with and were pleased with our welcome basket upon arrival. Would definitely consider this unit again, was everything we were expecting.
Owner response:I am happy to hear you enjoyed your time at our condo. We try very hard to make everyone's stay a wonderful experience. The plane fare is high and we want everyone to thoroughly enjoy this trip as the overhead to get here is considerable, both time and money. We would love to have you back! Bonnie

This condo was perfect for a nice quiet vacation, perfect for watching whales from the lani. Well stocked and great location.
Owner response:I'm delighted the whales put on a great show for you. We chose to purchase in Kauai because it is like living in a nature preserve. We share the beaches with monk seals and sea turtles. Snorleling is wonderful here. With the national botanical garden 3 miles away, we spend many hours photographing nature and marveling at how wonderful the simple life is. Peaceful is a great description of what our condo is for us.

This condo was perfect for us since it was next door to the Point at Poipu where we own a time share and spent our first week. The views were better than at Poipu and there were more amenities in the form of a welcome basket, beach chairs and beach towels. The condo was very spacious and immaculate. We appreciated the two flat screen tv's since my husband and I have very different tastes in programs. We love the location since you are in the middle of the island and also in the sunniest part. This was our 4th trip to Kauai and we find it very relaxing since there are no large cities and interstates. We spend a lot of time just communing with nature. We watched the myna birds and red headed cardinals, the sea turtles, and of course the numerous whales. We also went to Poipu Beach and Lawaii beach where I snorkled and again was amazed at the great variety of fish just ten feet off the shore. The highlight was riding in the "Jurassic Park" helicopter to the forbidden island of Niihau after we saw the "Jurassic Park" figs at Atherton Gardens. Of course we also drove to the Canyon, where we hiked, and the north side of the island where we did a little shopping. All in all, we had a great time and can't wait to come back. Thank you Bonnie, for your flexibility and your prompt return of our security deposit.
Owner response:I am happy you thoroughly enjoyed your stay at the condo. We also own a timeshare at the Marriott and strive to make the condo even better than the timeshare. And, we purchased because of the view. We never have to worry about what unit we will be assigned. I wish we did not own the timeshare and just had the condo. It is a nice way to extend your stay on the island as one week is not enough. Bonnie

Wonderful Honeymoon Escape!

My new bride and I just returned from our stay at this property, and we both had an absolutely marvelous time. The view of the ocean upon first stepping foot in the condo was breathtaking, and I must admit that looking at the pictures of the place now (having been stateside for a couple of days) makes me wish I was back there again! The full service kitchen was great (I'm an avid cook) - especially the cooktop. Most places I've stayed in the islands have a rather lackluster stovetop, but the burners heat up quickly and are easy to control. Everything else in the kitchen (utensils, blender, pots & pans) was equally excellent. The property is ideally located among a number of other properties, and has a nice little "secret path" down to a rocky ocean shore (with a sign indicating that you follow the path at your own risk) that was a wonderful spot for watching the sunset. The owner is wonderful to deal with, and supplied us with a plethora of information regarding activities, dining, and everything else we would want or need to know about Poipu. We will be back!
Owner response:I am happy your honeymoon experience was a beautiful memory you will treasure all life long. That is what is so special about providing others with our wonderful get away home. It is our home for wonderful memories in the making. We can't be there all the time so we love to share the experience.
