Welcome to Alihi Lani #3 at Poipu Beach. Enjoy our brand new pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean as you relax and unwind!
Our premier ocean front condo has been completely upgraded with classic Hawaiian decor.

Most of all, unwind on the newly tiled covered Lanai and admire the ocean waves breaking over the coral, or the surfers trying to catch the next wave, and finally the sun-setting over the water during the winter months. Have you ever seen the "green flash"?
This unit is "the prime location" on the ground floor within this 6 unit complex, close to the pool and BBQ grill area. Find yourself looking at the ocean from the living area or kitchen as you're making lunch or dinner. Relax on the lanai for "happy hour" and the sunset. Private parking is located in the rear of the building.
The living and dining area has been upgraded with new furniture, including a 42" flat screen HDTV, along with an HD/DVD, DVD movies, CD player and several paperback books.
The new Kitchen is fully equipped and upgraded with stainless appliances, including the Refrigerator, Dishwasher, Range and Microwave. New Cherry cabinets and beautiful granite counter tops and backsplash finish off this convenient area to gather and make your meals.
The Master Bedroom includes a fantastic California King sized bed, along with a 26" wall mounted flat screen TV. The adjoining bathroom has also been tastefully upgraded with a new vanity, mirror and stone shower surrounding the bath tub.
The Guest Bedroom includes two twin beds that can be combined to make into a Queen sized bed if desired. The second bathroom is right around the corner from this room, and includes a newly vanity, mirror and upgraded stone shower.
Relax in the sun at our private pool, cook your meals on our 2 Weber BBQ gas grills, or take a short walk to the sandy beaches.
Stock up at the Costco in Lihue and get ready to relax in our prime location on the south shore of Kauai.

Whales Of A Good Time

Ron, Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise. When we opened the door and walked to the lanai,the first word out of my mouth was " WOW " and then I heard an echo of WOW ! WOW ! It could not have been more perfect. My job was to put this 60th Birthday trip together for the girls and you made that painless. I am going to get a lot of mileage out of this if you know what I mean. There is nothing to want, everything is on hand and usually twice over. The location, location,location, could not be better. Beautiful sunsets, walking distance to restaurants, small malls and beaches. Binoculars are a must this time of year if you enjoy whale watching as I do. As the girls would go for walks in the morning and stimulate the local economy, I would enjoy a cup of java or two with breakfast and count whales until I soon lost count. No shortage of turtles either. My only regret is I should have booked for two weeks. Thanks again Ron " I'll be back "

November Vacation to Kauai

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in Kauai and Ron's condo was perfect! The location was outstanding in Poipu. The more exploring we did during our 10 days, the more we realized what an excellent location and accommodations we were enjoying. A short walk across the street for sea turtle viewing each morning and dolphin sightings from the lanai. Access to the pool and parking (1st floor condo) was also very appreciated. All the amenities of home are in the kitchen for any meals cooked on the BBQ. Beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, etc. are there for use and came in handy. Nearby shopping and restaurants are great. Ron was very responsive and helpful and we highly recommend staying in his condo and we plan to return to Kauai (as soon as we can save up again). Aloha and Mahalo

Most memorable vacation ever- trip of a life time!!!! We began our 10 night vacation on 7/6/11, and the place, location, accomodations were wonderful!!! Ron, the owner was great with all our pre-vacation questions and was very prompt to reply. We scheduled a luai, helicopter ride, caterman snorkeling/ scuba diving trip, ATV trip, and horseback riding activites during our first few days there and filled each morning with an "adventure" - including Waimea Grand Canyon, Queen's Pond, and the north shore and tried different beaches in the afternoon. We really feel like we got to see it all! It was SO convenient to have chairs, a cooler, and beach towels to use! It was perfect for two couples! A few weeks after we got home, both couples experienced northeastern flooding and one party member was shockingly diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer - never smoked, never sick, no symptoms other than what she thought was an annoying cough. So - for the four of us - this trip was meant to be, and gives us comforting, happy thoughts when life gets tough. We are so grateful and blessed to have experienced paradise in this wonderful condo!!!!! The "Hoover's and "Parfitt's"

2nd Visit as best as the 1st

This is our 2nd stay at Ron's condo. We were here last year for our wedding and this year for our 1 year anniversary. I've visited the island of Kauai since I was 2 years old and never tire of it. I've done thorough research of dozens of condos and this one is by far the best on the South side of Kauai (or in my opinion, the entire island!). For our anniversary trip back I did look at other condos since there would only be 2 of us visiting but even the popular oceanfront Kuhio Shores couldn't tear me away from staying at Ron's place. Even though it's a 2 bedroom, I told my husband I will pay extra to stay there again. That's how beautiful his place is. (We did end up bringing another couple so it worked out perfect - and they absolutely loved it!). The location is in one of the prime spots on the island. It's close to absolutely everything needed. Shopping, dinning, beach. Parking is simple, never crowded and just steps to the front door. The 1st floor gives you quick access to parking and the pool. This condo has a gorgeous view of the sunset every evening and turtles & dolphins every morning. Newly updated it has everything, pots, pans, blender, dishes, spices for cooking, paper towels, coffee & filters, dishwashing liquid, laundry soap - everything really. Enough space for 4 - 5 adults without feeling too crowded. I love that the pool is literally 4-5 steps from the lanai. The grounds are kept up very nicely and the landscaping is gorgeous! The master has a california king, super comfy and the 2nd bedroom has 2 twins, equally as comfortable. You can fall asleep to the ocean in the 2nd bedroom. We slept with the sliding doors open every night. Even in the middle of August, you don't need A/C. You get a nice breeze through this place once the doors & windows are open. The best place about this condo and the only reason to book is because the condo complex is SMALL. You're not sharing parking with 200 other units or fighting for a spot at the pool. Only 6 units in this entire complex and some aren't even vacant so it's like having the entire place to yourself. The owner, Ron is quick to respond and very friendly! I've dealt with other condo owners before and by far he's the most professional. Thanks for letting us enjoy your condo again Ron and hope to visit again in the years to come!

My wife (43) , 3 children (12,10,9), and I (45) stayed at this condo for 5 nights 8/2011-wish we could have stayed longer, but we also went to Maui for 4 nights. If time permitted, one could easily stay at this condo and location for a lot longer. This condo is wonderful. It was immaculate, very modern, well worth the price, which I found to be reasonable. My wife is a neatness freak, in my opinion, and she was impressed, which is not easy to accomplish. It is on the first floor of what I would say was a 4-unit condo. Pool was 3 steps down from the lanai. Very well maintained grounds, very nice attendant was there every day. Hoses available, pool furniture, grill. Parking easy to access in the rear, 15 feet to the door. Beach directly across the road, maybe 30-40 ft distance from the lanai. However, when seated, you actually cannot see the road and are looking directly into the water, and the view is just fabulous. There was apparetnly a turtle nest when we were there (8/2011), and we walked across to watch the turtles. Perhaps in choosing Hawaii condos, the view was my foremost concern, and the view here was just great. It would live up to any reasonable expectation; pretty expansive, no obstructions. It is a rocky beach, but I observe that there are relatively few sand beaches anywhere in Kauai, except at the actual beach parks. We went to several beaches, (Ke'e, Tunnels) and I believe that the nicest of these was Poipu Beach, which is about 5 minutes from the condo. There, we snorkeled (nice reef), kids rode boogy boards, nice area of coral to explore, and there is an unusual geography in which the waves come toward each other, making an unusual and fun area of colliding water...which the kids loved. Condo is extremely well-stocked (extensive quality kitchen supplies, beach chairs, boogie boards, towels), Ipod compatible radio (my daughter liked the radio, which she figured out how to plug my wife's IPOD into), flat scr TVs, DVD + movies (we watched a movie the last night, very nice beds-large king, two singles, fold out couch is high qualtiy. Furniture is nice, privacy was excellent, very large safe (held my 17" computer) (Please note the neighborhood and unit seemed very safe, even apart from the safe), granite countertops, tile floors throughout. Very nice washer/dryer. I cannot recommend this condo highly enough. If we go back some day, we will not even look anywhere else.

This is our 2nd trip to Kauai and Ron's accommodation was by far the best! I don't want to rave too much and let the cat out of the bag...but it really beats out all the 4 & 5 star properties on the island. Perfectly situated for all the activiites; nice size so it doesn't feel like a hotel room; all the amenities including washer/dryer; friendly property manager (Terrie) and above all...quiet except for the relaxing sounds of the ocean directly in front. The majority of the time, the pool (shared by 6 condos) was empty and the bbq available. We are already planning our return trip to this picturesque spot in Poipu. Thanks Ron!

Our family of five, including our 15 year old grandson, fit perfectly into this beautiful condo. From the moment we stepped in we were awestruck by the beautiful setting and marvelous accommodations! The convenience of the pool was fantastic. We made good use of the gas-fired grill for fresh fish dinners. We also loved having door-side parking. We would/will stay here again when we have the opportunity. Also, it was very good value for the location and amenities. Now we close our eyes and re-live our breakfasts on the lanai looking out at the Pacific. Thanks for sharing your beautiful Kauai home with us for 10 days.

Our family of five (three teenagers) just returned from enjoying 10 days in this condo. The location of the condo was perfect for us, and we had a wonderful memorable vacation. The condo had all the necessary items we could ask for, it even had beach chairs, a rolling cooler and boogie boards. We utilized the BBQs a couple of evenings and they worked great. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and in order to do laundry. We thoroughly relaxed as a family and enjoyed many beaches, hikes, farmer's markets, shopping and all the waterfalls. We saw sea turtles everyday in the ocean right across from the condo! The heavy waves the last two days of our stay provided a good opportunity to watch the surfers from the condo. Thank you Ron for the excellent accomodations and communication. And thank you for quickly returning our deposit. We certainly hope to return soon as a family!

We walked in the back door and were immediately happy that we selected this condo! The accomodations were perfect for the four of us. The plan was to be able to get up in the morning, have breakfast on the lani and then walk down the couple of steps to the pool in the "front" yard. Well, it rained the entire time we were there, but if the sun were out, it would have been perfect!! We did manage to take walks in the area, and it's in a great location for taking a walk. Right across the street you can watch the sea turtles. We prepared several meals in the condo, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Close by are some excellent restaurants and shopping opportunities. We drove to the west end of the island in search of the sun, and the condo is equiped with beach equipment, including an ice chest. It's also equiped with umbrellas, as we unfortunately needed them. Parking is easy right behind the condo and just a few steps to the door. I think the condo is in the best location in the complex. It's downstairs and doesn't get the direct afternoon sun heating up the rooms. Ron was great to work with. Absolutely no problems with the reservation and he promptly returned the security deposit. We would definitely stay here again. Mahalo Ron.

What a fantastic getaway to re-charge! The owners anticipated our needs and saved us having to run to the store on our first night by providing all of our essentials. Being tired from the long trip over, we had a wonderful night's sleep in comfortable beds with our choice of comfy pillows. The wonderful never ending ocean breezes kept our unit always at the perfect temperature. And what a beautiful property and breath taking views. Each morning I started the day doing an hour yoga workout while looking out over the Pacific. With the swimming pool a few steps from the living room, it felt like it was our personal pool. The location is perfect for having everything you need within walking distance to a small local mall. The south shore of Kauai is by far the best location and this is the best property we researched and have stayed in. It is going to be difficult to leave this idyllic spot, and we can't wait to return.
