Kuhio Shores Oceanfront Kauai Condo Vacation Rental
It's very peaceful here. When you listen to the sound of the ocean waves, and gaze at the endless horizon, you'll feel like you are a million miles away from all of your cares and concerns. There is nothing like being lulled to sleep by the sound of the surf. Come and experience the tranquillity of this beautiful location.
The Kuhio Shores Condominium development, a four floor, 75 unit complex with a sandy beach on each side, is located on Lawai Road, which ends nearby at the Spouting Horn. It is adjacent (we are talking FEET here) to Lawai Beach, the best snorkeling beach on the island, and The Beach House, the best restaurant. Lawai Road is very quiet, and yet it is only minutes to Poipu Village Shopping, the Sheraton and Hyatt resorts and spas, Poipu Beach and other wonderful beaches, a half dozen other fine restaurants, and the world famous Poipu Bay Golf Course, previous home of the PGA 'Grand Slam of Golf' Tournament. Old Koloa Town, the oldest plantation town in Hawaii, is less than ten minutes away.
We first saw this condo during a business/vacation trip in July of 2003. We looked at a number of condos, including another one in Kuhio Shores, and this one was head and shoulders above the rest. The designer interior was great... but the real selling point was the location and the view... as soon as you walk in the door, you'll say "Wow."
We knew immediately that no guest would ever be disappointed with it, that we would always be proud to own it. We also suspected that we would get a lot of repeat guests, and referrals from our guests, so that the occupancy rate would be high. Still, we weren't sure it would be a good investment, but because of our sentimental attachment to Kauai (we were married on the island in 1996, and have been in love with it ever since), we decided to go ahead, and we closed on the property in October 2003. Since then we've only been able to stay a few times, but it's been wonderful... and we're looking forward to spending whatever vacation time we have here for many years to come.
Take a look at our website to see lots of photos of the condo, beautiful photos of Kauai, a complete list of amenities, interesting links, and more!!!
Mahalo for your interest!!!

In response to our guest questionnaire, Denise writes: "My husband and I had a wonderful time and absolutely loved the location of Kuhio Shores. We particularly liked being able to snorkel on both sides and in front of the condo, watching sunrises and sunsets from the lanai, watching the green turtles from the lanai, and having dinners at the Beach House Restaurant. A plus for your condo was that it was very quiet. Also, it is on the top floor and is one of the condos that juts further out towards the water than some other units, enhancing the stunning ocean views."

Responding to our guest questionnaire, Kelli writes: (Was the condo ready?) "It was beautiful. Very clean, and the fresh flowers were a nice touch." "We loved (the decorating) and thought it looked great! Even better than the pictures on your website." "Would definitely stay here again - we've already recommended it to friends." "We loved the condo! It's a beautiful unit and the view can't be beat! We had an amazing time. Thank you so much!" "We were fine without air conditioning, the trade winds were constantly blowing and with the ceiling fan it was very comfortable. Even if there was air conditioning, we probably wouldn't have used it. It was so nice to hear the waves crashing all night and we loved having the windows open."

Responding to our questionnaire, John writes: "We totally loved the condo. We have stayed at Kuhio Shores many times, and as far as we are concerned, it is where we will always stay if at all possible. Your condo is great. We love the 4th floor so we can see the surfers & the turtles. The condo was very comfortable all the way around. We used some of the beach chairs in your well stocked closet, and used the beaches on the sides of the condo every day. Ate at Brennecke's several times - always Yummy. Snorkeled nearly every day. Kaua'i has so much to offer. It is the most beautiful place on earth to us. Your condo helped make our vacation wonderful. We would love to stay in your condo again. You've done a great job making it comfortable. Mahalo!" "(the select comfort bed) was the BEST thing practically! We have one at home & always have problems sleeping the first night away. Not this time! LOVED IT!" "Definitely will stay again" "Never felt the need for AC on any trip."

Responding to our questionnaire, F. writes: "Decorating was tastefully done. We like the kitchen nook area and layout of kitchen. Everything we needed was in kitchen including some condiments and spices." "We thoroughly enjoyed our wedding/honeymoon stay at the condo. Loved the view and being on the top floor (elevators worked great). Very quiet and grounds were nice. We used the Weber gas grills several times - very nice."

Responding to our quest questionnaire, James writes: "The kitchen utensils/facilities were excellent. We cooked almost every night and had all that we needed." "The snorkel gear was nice!" "A/C is nice - but not for us in a place like Kaua'i - It would not have been an issue with us." "Your condo was absolutely fantastic! We had never been to paradise before and your condo was one of the best places we spent time in while on Kaua'i! We looked forward to our cocktail on the lanai every evening. The moon was out every night during our stay and the view from 412 was breathtaking. What a great place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We'll be back (tomorrow - if we could!)! Thank you!"

Responding to our guest questionnaire, Walt writes: "Very clean - the flowers were a special touch!... Decorating was wonderful... we loved your place so much we would plan our next trip around the availability of your condo." "Your condo was everything we had anticipated and it lived up to a great standard... "You don't need AC there. It may ruin the appeal. Open the door, let the breeze blow thru..." "We will recommend your property to anyone and everyone that goes to Kaua'i. What's not to like! When you decide to sell let us know. Thank you for everything."
