Why the Owner Chose Manualoha
The Manualoha section of Poipu Kai is a uniquely open and spacious development, unlike any other condominium development we have seen on Kauai, with lovely plantings, finely maintained grounds and with nine tennis courts and ample swimming facilities.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
A few steps to the sparkling private pool for Manualoha residents and only a few more steps to the beach. We often stop off at the Manualoha pool after snorkeling at the beach-- a quick fresh water shower a dip, and a rest in a chaise lounge overlooking the beach before enjoying some time on the lanai at our condominium!
Owner's Map of Manualoha
We first visited Poipu Kai in 1985. We have stayed at several places in Kauai and liked the Maunaloha section of Poipu Kai the most. We first saw our vacation home in 1999 at the invitation of the prior owner, and we rented it several times before we bought it. It is in the most spacious location of the most spacious condominium development, opening onto a lovely sweeping expanse of grass and tropical plantings, with a view of sunsets over Brennecke's Beach. (Our unit is close to the beach end of the large open area of the Poipu Kai resort shown on the Google map.) When we are more fully retired we plan to spend several months a year in this paradise. Please read our guest reviews to better understand why we love this unit so much. It is truly a unique and exquisite place. Very sincerely, Bob and Laura Venning

We had a delightful stay at this up-scale fully furnished townhome. We stayed for 3 weeks and had only 1 partial day of rain; the weather was magnificent. The views from the condo of the ocean and palm trees are wonderful; you feel as though the tropical vegetation is part of your internal surroundings. The condo is large, airy, very clean and contemporary. The quality furnishings include nice leather couches and tropical decor throughout; the paintings are mostly originals.The kitchen was wonderfully equipped with anything we needed. The location is what really makes this place unbeatable. The beach is right there, along with great restaurants, shopping and adventure activities; very convenient and easy to get to everything. We did a lot of activities and found it an easy drive to any part of the island. The Ultra-litre flight lesson was a real life experience and too much fun; we recommend it! Thank so much, Bob, for providing such a great place for guests like us.
Owner response:Mahalo, David. You give a great explanation of why we bought the place! We really do hope our guests appreciate our lovely place and have a wonderful time.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Manualoha Poipu Kai "Aloha Sands" condo. The location is great - very close to the beach and the complex is very spacious, as is the condo. It was perfect for 2 couples and had everything we needed for a great vacation. The owner was very easy to work with and the facilities were as advertised. I can't wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay at Aloha Sands. The view from the condo is of the beautiful grounds which are very well maintained with lovely palm trees and gorgeous flowers. There is a concrete path through the grounds that leads down to a road that runs along the beach, then you can just cross the road to the beach. The better swimming beach with a playground is just a little further down than the one right across the road, but still within walking distance. If we were carrying lots of chairs, etc. though, it was easier to drive around and park just across from the playground and swimming beach. Aloha Sands has some wonderful beach chairs and sand toys in the downstairs closet. You will need to bring water shoes because the ocean is full of lava rocks. You can book anything through Brennecke's within walking distance of the condo. We rented our snorkel equipment there, booked the Napoli coast boat tour, the theatrical luau in Lihue, and signed up for surfing lessons there. The other activities we did were the McBryde Botanical Garden and hiking in Kokee State Park. It is beautiful but the hike is very muddy and steep in several places. Be prepared for rain and getting muddy, including your hands. The movie theater in Waimea is very clean. The condo itself is clean and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen, good washer and dryer, and media equipment. The pool is just a short walk from the downstairs lanai and has an incredible view of the ocean. Between the great ceiling fans and open windows, we did not miss air conditioning. In fact, the island breezes contributed to the very peaceful atmosphere. There are lots of Kauai travel brochures and other guest info in the living area of the condo that will tell you about restaurants and activities to do in the area. Our favorite restaurants were Tidepools, Casa de Amici, and the Sheraton's restaurant. The gelato and Tropical Burgers at Poipu Shopping Village were also good as was the shrimp place and farmers market at Kukuiula Shopping Village. As far as grocery stores, there is the Whalers General Store in Poipu Shopping Village, the Kukuiula Market across from that Shopping Center, and Best Save in Koloa, just a short drive away. Old Koloa town is a good place to shop. The vendors at Spouting Horn Park are fun, too. We loved the family atmosphere on Kauai, so different from the frenzy of Waikiki. All of the local residents we met were so nice and helpful. It truly is a paradise!
Owner response:Thanks, Dan. This is a very thorough review, and we certainly agree with it! If you do go to Kokee State Park, be sure to go all the way to Kalaulau Lookout-- a world class site, best seen in mid-day, as it often clouds up in the afternoon. It's paradise-- we can hardly wait to get back there ourselves! Bob and Laura

This was our second time to the Poipu area and our first time at Bob's Aloha Sands condo. I could go on and on about the great location and amenities at the condo, but I don't want it to be booked when we come back next year. LOL. Honestly though, it is a great price for the location, and amenities. It is also close to the ATV adventure, Captain Andys Catamaran in Port Allen, Zip lining and hiking. Enjoy! -Lillian Napa CA -

Since VRBO no longer links guestbook comments to the reviews, please see the following comments since the linkage was stopped. Sincerely, Bob and Laura Venning Thank you...We loved Aloha Sands and found it just perfect for our family trip. The weather was great, Plantation Gardens our favorite restaurant, sea turtles, seals and all the extras that you provided from snorkel equipment, books and always a beautiful sunset. Sue , Carlsbad, Ca 09/12/10 Positive My wife and I visited Kawai and stayed in this town home in late July 2010. This apartment is located in beautiful gardens close to a swimming pool and a short walk to the Poipu Beach area. Also, there are a number of good restaurants nearby. The apartment is spacious with a beautiful view and full amenities. We enjoyed staying there very much. Roger , Mill Valley, California 07/05/10 Positive Our stay in Aloha Sands this June made our Kauai trip delightful. The townhouse is located very close to Poipu Beach, one of the best beaches for day-long swimming and snorkeling. The townhouse is very thoughtfully equipped - we could not ask for more! We will return! R&P, Davis, California 03/31/10 Positive I, along with two girlfriends, spent a week at your beautiful townhome in January. It was our first trip to Kauai and found it amazing. Such a lush, green island with wonderful people and beautiful beaches. The accomodations in your home were excellent. Close to the beach and great restaurants. Nancy , Emwood, NE

We had a delightful stay at Aloha Sands in February of this year. A friend had recommended the Poipu area for our first visit to Kauai but we were on our own for figuring out the rest. After much searching and reading reviews of the resort I knew I wanted to stay in the Manualoha units. We couldn't have chosen better. Aloha Sands is, to my view in the best situated unit. Open to a lovely view of water and palm trees and sweeping lawn. SO close to the beach that our four year old didn't even complain about not being carried. And the unit itself is very well equipped, clean, spacious and cheerful with wonderful pastel landscapes on the walls. We will return!

Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us. The townhouse was sparkling clean with plenty of room for our family of 4. Lush, well-kept landscaping, well-equipped kitchen, BBQ right outside the door and just steps from wonderful Poipu Beach. My husband and son especially enjoyed daily play on the excellent tennis courts and the friendly staff. We already miss the smell of the plumeria and listening to the roosters and doves. Hope to be back soon! Mahalo, Gordy, Ann, Whitney and Ryan

We loved your beautiful townhome, which was EXACTLY as portrayed on your website. It is well-equipped, with many extras (beach chairs and toys, cooler, every appliance one could need, books, dvds, cds). The Manualoha pool is fantastic. We will be back. Mahalo for letting us rent your beautiful home.
