Our family rented all 3 of Maureens condos over Christmas 2011 and loved every minute. The location is as good as you can get in Kauai and the grounds are very well maintained and beautiful. The pool is one of the few heated in the area we researched and our family loved it. The condos are clean and well maintained and the person Maureen has looking after things for her is very helpful. We were in need of a dentist while we were away and she helped us out as she lives in the area. We have already rebooked for next year and look forward to it. Will recommend these rentals any chance I get.

Ideal Poipu Location.

This condo was perfect for our family of four! It was clean, very well furnished and the kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. This entire complex is beautifully landscaped and the pool and covered BBQ area were a fun place to relax and meet other guests. It is a very short walk to the beach and there is plenty of shopping and dining nearby. The owners were very responsive and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone visiting Poipu!

My family stayed at Nihi Kai Villas for two weeks over Thanksgiving and loved it. The condo was immaculate, well stocked and perfect location. We had a garden view which was beautiful and what you imagine Hawaii should look like, Just a short walk and we were at Poipu Beach and park. Also, it was great to sit on "the wall" with so many other people to watch the sunset. And yes, we saw the green flash. The condo had great beds, great bathrooms and a large living space with a lanai to eat dinner. The condo was very well decorated and was great for our 1 year old granddaughter. Child gates were there to help with the stairs. We ate at Brenecke the first night and it was very good. Location was one of the best parts as you are really close to everything. Lihue has all the big shops about 15 minutes away. Met the owners and they were great. We would highly recommend this condo. The price was right, the location excellent and the condo was outstanding.

Perfect Condo for a Wonderful Vacation

This condo was probably the nicest and cleanest condo I've rented through VRBO. From the minute we walked in, we loved the size, the furnishings and soon found that the linens, towels, etc were of top quality. The kitchen has been outfitted with everything you need including beautiful wine glasses (very important!). We felt right at home very quickly and enjoyed having a lanai in both front & back depending on what time of day it was. The two downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms are huge and we were very comfortable at all times. The lush grounds and pool area are fabulous & we were impressed at how well maintained the whole complex is. I would highly recommend this condo & will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful vacation spot

This condo was perfect for our group of three adults on a week-long vacation. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals at home and we enjoyed having leisurely breakfast on the lanai every morning. Poipu beach really is just right around the corner, with excellent snorkeling and bodyboarding opportunities. The location was a great as a jumping off point for short day trips to Waimea Canyon and other attractions. It was especially nice to come back and jump in the pool after a day of hiking. Maureen made booking the condo a breeze. We definitely recommend staying here!

A perfect holiday in paradise

We really enjoyed our 2 weeks at the condo. Maureen and Bruce made everything so simple in terms of instructions and logistics before we arrived. The unit was extremely clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare any of our own meals. There were also 2 bbq's outside in a common area about 20 yards from the condo unit, which we found handy. The flat screen TV in the main room was nice to have with over 100 channels, not that we watched much TV. There were also two smaller TV's in each of the bedrooms for those inclined to fall asleep to the TV. The Internet hookup was easy to connect to our laptop and it was nice having high speed for emails. The lanai's were outstanding and very peaceful. It was a 2 minute walk to the beach (great bodyboarding) and there were 3-4 other beaches within a 10-15 minute walk (great snorkelling and swimming). Our favorite beach was just in front of the Marriot/Sheraton. Location, location, location. We also enjoyed the condo location for some very nice early morning walks in Poipu. Catching a sunset from Poipu beach, 2 minutes away was magical. There were also tons of parking spaces in the lot close to the condo unit, once again about 15 yards walk. In terms of restaurants we really liked the Casa Amici for Italian food (50 yards from the condo unit). Also loved the Italian restaurant at the Marriot called Cafe Portofino. Roy's for seafood was also an amazing restaurant in Poipu. There is an old noodle shop in Lihue that was cheap and fantastic. We also loved the Vietnamese restaurant and Chinese restaurant in Lihue on Rice St. Our favorite excursion was doing a Napali Zodiak raft ride with the dolphins. The raft left from Waimea, which is 45 minutes drive away. The Na Pali coast and caves were breathtaking, a must see. The Waimea canyon was unbelievable, just like the Grand Canyon. Great hikes. The East coast and North coast were also very nice, but we preferred Poipu (beaches and restaurants and shopping), Lihue (restaurants), and the West coast (Canyon hikes and beaches). We had a tremendous vacation, completely hassle-free and stress-free, a big thank you to Maureen and Bruce. I would certainly recommend this condo to my friends, and have already!! We can't wait to get back to Kauai, and to the paradise of Poipu!!

My family and I just stayed at Nihi Kai Villas #507 during the first week of August 2010. This condo was great and true to the description. It is a prime location in Poipu. We recommend this unit to anyone wanting to visit Kauai. Maureen & Bruce were great to work with. We are looking foward to our next visit.

We stayed at #507 from 1/27-2/25,2010 and could not have been happier with our experience. The condo is spacious, well-equipped, and in a beautiful setting close to the beach. It was a serene and peaceful place to return to each evening from our day's adventure- hiking, snorkeling, exploring and enjoying the stunning island of Kauai. Our only complaint was our time was too short! We would love to come back again next year. Maureen and Bruce were outstanding hosts, responding quickly and efficiently to a few minor problems we had. Would recommend this condo to anyone. Sue and Terry

Our first visit to Kuai was made just that much better by choosing Unit #507 at Nihi Kai Villas. My husband and I were so impressed by the beautiful, recently remodeled kitchen and spacious condo. The location was walking distance to the ocean and restaurants in the area. Everything we needed for cooking, sleeping, bathing, etc. was available to us. We would definitely recommend Unit #507 to our friends and family.
