Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Sunset Kahili
I went to high school on Kauai and even after I moved back to the mainland, a part of my heart always stayed on Kauai, the natural beauty, the wonderful people, and
the great aloha spirit kept calling me back. We owned a condo in a much larger complex that didn't have a pool and it felt less like family staying in Sunset Kahili is being with Ohana (family)
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
You can stay in the lovely 2 bedroom unit #201 on the second floor at Sunset Kahili. You can see the white water below, and down the coast past Spouting Horn to the Island of Niihau.
You will hear the ocean waves crash below (what a lullaby at night) and you can see the water from almost every room of the Condo.
You will enjoy the provided beach chairs, beach towels, and an ice chest for your travels to great beaches and picnics areas around the Island. The Master bedroom has a King size bed, with a large wheelchair access shower in the bathroom, The living room and dining room are equipped with TV, DVD, CD player including IPOD hook up, and high speed internet. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds and a second full bath. There is a fully stocked kitchen, with small and large appliances, full compliment of cookware and table settings for a party of eight, plus a washer and dryer. The Balcony is the best spot on the Island for Sunsets (thus the name Sunset Kahili). There are custom made Balcony height chairs, and lounge chairs on the balcony for your comfort plus binoculars for viewing.
The complex also provides a large community room, swimming pool, an assigned parking space, and 2 BBQs.
This is a smoke free building both inside and out.
Owner's Map of Sunset Kahili
We owned a condo in a much larger complex, After Hurricane Iniki we stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in this quite little 35 unit condo complex, we fell in love with the views and the sound of the ocean and wanted to be able to share our little piece of heaven with others.

Thank you for the use of your beautiful condo (1br) for our recent trip to Kauai. The apartment went above and beyond our expectations for everything. Upon our arrival, the condo was absolutely immaculate. You have thought of everything in your well stocked home away from home. We were also quite delighted with the hospitality of the residents at the Sunset Kalihi. I can promise that we will be back and definately will refer anyone we know planning a trip to Hawaii to visit our new favorite island, Kauai...and to you for accomodations. Randy and Teresa Carr

What a fantastic time we had staying at Jim and Cathy’s unit #201 at Sunset Kahili . It was such a relaxing place! The lanai was my favorite place to be. We were able to see the sea turtles below, watch dolphins go by and you can see Spouting Horn in the distance. We were able to walk to Brennecke Beach, Po’ipu Beach and also Kiahuna Beach for some good snorkeling. We also enjoyed hearing the waves crashing below, what a lullaby at night! Seaquest dive shop nearby offers boat dive trips to Sheraton Caverns where I saw hundreds of different colorful fish including an octopus, eels, lots of sea turtles and a puffer fish. At the Koloa Fish Market you can get fresh fish or a meal to go. Their seared Ahi was great, but be sure to bring cash! That is all that they accept. We certainly hope to return for another vacation, but next time it will be for 2 weeks.

March 6-16, 2009 I can't say enough wonderful things about Jim and Cathy's condo (#306) at Sunset Kahili or about Kauai itself! My husband and I came here to celebrate my 40th birthday and it was the best birthday I've ever had (it certainly made turning 40 easy!). The condo was perfect - what a spectacular view, and yes, we saw humpback whales too! The binoculars were perfect. Poipu is an excellent location, especially in the winter. We didn't have the best weather (fairly rainy and cooler), but the sun seemed to shine more frequently in Poipu and on the west side of the island and the ocean was calmer here than on the east and north shores. Our favorite beach was Salt Pond Beach - very private and I saw a monk seal sunning himself there! Golf at Kukuiolono golf course in Kalaheo is definitely worthwhile. A public course for $9 for 9 holes - the fairways and greens are ok and the views are spectacular! A day trip to Honolulu to see Pearl Harbor was also worthwhile, but we were glad to come "home" to Kauai that night. Our favorite part of each day was falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves and the wind through the windows. We'll definitely come back (lots more birthdays and anniversaries coming up!). Thanks Jim and Cathy for sharing your wonderful place with us. Dana Burdenuk & Greg Polan, Acton, ON Canada

My husband and I along with another couple, thoroughly enjoyed 2 weeks in this condo. The info provided on the site is accurate. It is quiet, roomy, well furnished and well equipped. The view and location are outstanding. We saw whales from the lanai most days, Poipu beach is an easy walk away. The neighborhood is safe and great for walking. Also the owner was very helpful and easy to deal with.We are experienced travelers so have many previous accommodations to compare this one to and it was excellent.We would recommend it.

I can't even begin to tell you how wonderful both Jim and Cathy and the condo are. My son and I came in this past month and were truly blessed with the whole experience. Jim is so knowledgeable of the area and so accommodating and helpful. The condo is so well taken care of. Everything we needed was there. The view is the best. We explored so much on Kauai in the short 5 days we were there. Things I recommend to do, Kauai Backcountry adventures tubing. What a blast! Make sure Kay is your tour guide. Also HoloHolo charters. We did the sunset cruise to Napili coast. June 15th and we saw humpback whales. How amazing! So out of there season. If you are just looking for the perfect vacation to Kauai then stay at Jim’s place. It is absolutely worth every penny! Thanks so much Jim. We will see you next year!! Tami & Garrett

Jim and Cathy - I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our recent stay in your 2 bedroom unit. Great location, great unit, great facility, great neighbors...the 3 nights we spent was a great way to celebrate my birthday and wrap up our vist to Kauai. Your friends the Hawaiian humpbacks obliged us with ample viewing opportunities. Turns out that our 6 year old is quite the whale watcher! Also enjoyed seeing many sea turtles when looking out from the view area near the grills. We'll be back...the next time we start planning a visit to Kauai, one of the first things we'll check on is the availability of your condo! Thank you.

Dear Jim and Kathy, We so enjoyed our stay! For our 1st time visit to Hawaii we couldn't have picked a better location. Our time at Sunset Kahili condos in Poipu Beach was spectacular! Listening to the Ocean during the evening and watching the sun rise from the balcony in the mornings at breakfast...we are eager to return. We wish we could have stayed longer. We found the condo to be perfectly situated and yet isolated enough to feel like we were alone on a desert island! Thank you for the beautiful memories, Scott and Vicki

Dear, Jim My wife, myself and our 2 years boy had a wonderful time in Kawai, and our stay in your lovely 1BR apt. had a huge part in it. The place was very clean and fully equipped (including beach chairs). The ocean view and relaxing sounds of waves, the morning breakfasts by the lanai and the sunsets, wow, the sunsets! the building is well maintained and the pool looked inviting, though we preferred the nearby Poipu beach with kids' atractions. Thank you for being such a kind host and we look forward for our next vacation in Kahili Sunset.
