Poipu Sands: Oceanview & Closest 1 Bedroom to Shipwreck Beach

Year Purchased: 2000

Why the Owner Chose Poipu Sands

In planning our 1st Kauai trip, we read in the LA Times Poipu Sands was highly requested and ideally located. While staying there, we agreed! So on our 2nd visit, we extensively researched Kauai properties, and asked a local broker to let us know when specific Poipu Sands units became available. A few months later we had the keys to our own piece of paradise. Poipu Sands is steps away from Shipwreck Beach and the 5-star Grand Hyatt Resort & Spa, and only a short walk or drive to Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach. We love that Poipu Sands is located on a 7-acre greenbelt, making it very low density and truly a lush, tropical environment. We enjoy the ground floor location close enough to hear the surf break.

The Unique Benefits at this Condominium

From our unit, you hear the surf break as we are ~150 yards from the water's edge. The condo is set back, well away from street noise. Poipu Sands has its own swimming pool and tennis court (no charge). In a few minutes, you can walk to the sandy and beautiful Shipwreck Beach as well as the 5-star Grand Hyatt Resort & Spa (our neighboring property). The Grand Hyatt has fine and casual dining plus live entertainment and spectacular grounds. Two golf courses are within a few miles of our property; in fact you can walk to the golf course at the Grand Hyatt. A well-maintained, well-lit (for evening strolls) path meanders through the Poipu Kai Resort community leading to Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach. Condo parking is very convenient and plentiful. You get free high speed Internet access and a very comfortable new California King size bed. Our condo is a very spacious, ~1000 square foot, 1 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath unit. It opens to a lanai with partial ocean views and is located in a park-like setting. With an equipped kitchen, the condo has a warm and homey feel. Poipu Sands is part of Poipu Kai which has 7 swimming pools and 9 tennis courts (soft and hard surfaces). The condo is close to the famous Roy's restaurant and natural attractions such as Spouting Horn.

 

Owner's Map of Poipu Sands

We live and work in Southern California, and we love to travel. When we first visited Kauai, we felt so rejuvenated and loved exploring the unspoiled island. We resolved to return often. Now we take pleasure and pride in our condo, both in fixing it up and sharing it with our guests. We have a morning ritual of sipping local Kauai coffee and fresh fruit smoothies on the lanai where we watch the birds and the palm trees sway as we plan our day. Things we most enjoy include the fresh fish; local fruit, vegetable and flora "Sunshine" farmer's markets; the clean air and trade winds; the warm, inviting ocean as going into the water makes us feel like kids again; finding hideaway spots at beaches; and relaxing on our lanai spending stress-free time together. We know you'll enjoy staying at Poipu Sands 418, our home away from home.

    • My wife & I stayed in PS 418 for 5 nights in October 2009. The unit was exactly as described in the VRBO listing. While we did not cook during our stay, the kitchen was well equipped. We did use the refrigerator (& its filtered water dispenser), microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and dishwasher and they were all functional. Consumable items (paper towels, dishwashing stuff, toilet tissue, plastic trash bags, soap, etc. were all provided. HS internet was as simple as plugging the CAT-5 cable into my laptop. Master bath had a separate lav area with 2 sinks and a doored room with a toilet and large tub/shower combo. Half bath off the living area was convenient and contained a toilet and sink. Everything was clean and well maintained. Pool was very nice. Restaurants we can recommend are Gaylords, Brennecke's Beach Broiler, Keoki's Paradise, and the Bull Shed. We would not hesitate to rent this unit from the Bay's in the future!

    • We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in #418. The unit is very comfortable, especially the great bed. Having beach chairs available was a plus as was the proximity to the Hyatt and being able to walk to Poipu Beach. Our favorite part of a hard day at the beach was fixing a mai tai, pulling the deck chairs on to the grass in front of the lanai and watching the sky light up at sunset. Thanks for a very relaxing vacation.

    • This is a great rental property with professional, prompt, and super flexible ownership. The condo and complex is precisely as described. The location you literally cannot beat for the price anywhere we found on Kauai. If available, my recommendation is stop searching and book this one now.

    • This was our second trip to Poipu. The condo was just as described. It was also very quiet and soooo close to the ocean. Everything we needed or wanted was in the condo. We'll definitely return. It was the perfect place to stay in Poipu.

    • This is the first time that we have used VRBO. I was skeptical at first but found it to be a great way to rent a condo. The owner's posting is very accurate. This is our 3rd stay in Poipu and we found this location to be the best. We used the path that meanders through the complex to Poipu beach daily. Nice swimming pool. Loved the ocean sounds. Overall a very relaxing stay. May 7 - 22, 2009.

    • We felt completely at home during our stay, January 13-20, 2009. What a wonderfully comfortable place, warm, beautiful, and welcoming. We walked, swam; then we walked some more--especially in the evenings to glory in the sunsets. We were thrilled to see so many whales and turtles--and will invest in some much better quality binoculars for what we hope will be a return visit. Thank you very much.

    • Dear Bays, Staying at your Condo was like reading a good book. At first we thought (HEY, THIS IS A NICE PLACE)but, the more we unwound the more we realized how REALLY great your place is. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the Condo's location is ideal with a warm and relaxed Island feel along with all the comforts of home. We already miss morning coffee on the Lanai and the sound of the ocean. We've made several trips to Kauai, and POIPU SANDS is now our favorite place to stay. We'll be back....MAHALO. Irene & Sam Seattle, Washington
