We just returned from almost a month in this condo and have already booked for a return visit. The location in Poipu is the best with everything you could want in a vacation rental. The grounds were great and very well taken care of. I will recommend this rental and the other 2 the owners have also as we had relatives staying in them and they were equally great. Thanks for a great holiday.

My wife, 22 month old son and I stayed at Nihi Kai for a week. It was a perfect family vacation. The island is fantastic, and the condo made for a great stay – with a great pool, barbecue, picnic tables, patios with great views and beautiful grounds. We’d recommend a trip to Kauai at the Nihi Kai villas to anyone looking for a great family getaway. We can’t wait to come back.

PERFECT- our 4th Kauai trip, 1st stay Nihi Kai! Ideal location for beach activities (terrific snorkling), great proximity for shopping, resturants, hiking ("gotta do" the Sleeping Giant) & extended walks, & super area for watching BIG crashing waves & turtles- we were "Wallnuts" almost each eveing! This condo sits quietly in the complex, amidst lovely Botanical Gardens We were want for nothing- really! We had easy access & beautiful driving all over the island. We love Keoki's outdoor dining, & everyone has to get a Puka Dog! Having a COSTCO nearby is a real plus. This condo is a definite return destination for us- HUGE Mahalo, Maureen & Bruce!

Owner response:We share in our guests delight with Kauai, Nihi Kai and our condo! We spend time in each condo every year to ensure they are kept in tip top shape!

Truly a Memory Maker

It's hard to believe that we've been home for two weeks now:( I wanted you to know that we had one of the best times ever! Truly a memory maker. From the moment we opened the door to the day we had to lock it for the last time we felt at home the entire time. We saw some of the most magnificent waves that we've ever been able to witness in person. We were told that there was a storm that originated in Fiji which caused them. The local surfers were stoked, however most of the beaches were closed to swimming for a few days due to the tremendous tide activity. Of course on those days we went inland and hiked some rugged and beautiful trails leading to hidden waterfalls that most "tourist" never get a chance to see. Your kitchen is very well equipped making it easy to prepare our gourmet dinners! They were enjoyed on the lanai with the evening breeze cooling our brow as we reflected on the day together. Turtles. . . . . . I must have counted dozens every day hanging out in that little cove just in front of the entrance to the villas. Crafty little (and some very big) fellas; amazing how they navigate the surf without getting slammed against the rocks. I actually think they wink at you when they pop their heads up for air:) Amazing creatures; graceful and yet so very quick and agile. I could write a mini novel about our trip, however I'll end it here with a very simple but sincere statement: We were blessed. Mahalo Nui Loa,

We are departing Kauai today for Atlanta. Before leaving this Island Paradise I would be remiss if I did not comment on your beautiful apartment that you graciously share with us, the general travel population. Your numerous responses to our many questions, as well as your graciousness in alllowing us a late check-out were wonderfully comforting to relieve some anxiousness. Your apartment is beautifully appointed with so many accesories. You essentially negated the need for us to want for anything. The location touches the beach road which is a wonderful perk that I think you could emphasize even more in your marketing. We will reach out in future should the occasion arise and will happily recommend your product to friends tht may be interested. Aloha nui loa, Dana and Mary Dalton

A perfect stay in a perfect place!

We were four adults, two couples staying at this wonderful condo in July, 2010. The condo is spotless, filled with every kitchen item you could possibly need. Cooking was so easy. Beds and pillows are very, very comfortable in two separate bedrooms with a separate bath for each. There is a cooler, beach chairs, beach towels, tennis rackets and snorkel gear. The beach is one block away, the best snorkeling beach around. Boogy boarding there too! Turtles abound in the water. It is soooo quiet and peaceful at night. Having breakfast on the lanai was such a treat every morning, sitting and looking out at the water and the lovely plumeria trees. The grounds are spotless, the swimming pool area relaxing and refreshing. The IPOD dock was a special treat. This condo had every single thing you could need. We so appreciate the cleanliness and fresh look the place has. It was close to everything we needed.I will be recommending it to many friends. In reality it is even more beautiful in person than in the photos. Thanks for making our week perfect.

I can't imagine a better condo to stay at

The minute we walked through the door of Nihi Kai 501 we said WOW. This place is even better than the pictures. It has a beautiful kitchen (with tons of dishes and everything you'd ever need), the living room has what looks like brand new furniture with a 32" lcd tv (with great instruction as to how to use it to watch HDTV channels) and the owner told me that the beds in the guest room were brand new (and the one in the master was really comfortable). The best thing about our stay at Nihi Kai (other than the condo - which was wonderful) was the beautiful grounds of the complex (it's like being at a botanical garden), the pool that sits right out by the ocean, and the short (3 minute) walk to the beach where we had the best snorkling of anywhere we've ever been. If your looking for the best place to stay on Kauai this is it.

We stayed at the condo for 5 nights and were very happy. It was comfortable and very well equiped.Both the owners and the property manager were extremely responsive to any questions. Casa di Amici is just accross the street. We had a great dinner there and Keoki's is near bye. The grounds are beautiful, The pool was great. The owners pride is very evident in all the extra touchs. We would recommend this condo to anyone. Mahalo

This unit really is as nice as it looks in the pictures

My wife and I stayed with our 12-year-old son in this condo in early April 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The unit is very clean, well-maintained and up-to-date, just as it appears in the pictures. The kitchen is fully equipped (probably better than our kitchen at home!), there is a nice big living area, two good-sized bedrooms with comfortable beds, two full baths, and there is a balcony/table/chairs that we enjoyed our breakfast on each morning. We really appreciated the closet full of helpful items such as tennis racquets/balls, beach mats, beach chairs, snorkel gear and a mini-cooler. My son was thrilled to see the iPod docking station since he forgot to pack the cable to charge his iPod. The property is also well looked after and an easy walk to a couple of nice restaurants. Brennecke's Beach across the street was fantastic for boogie-boarding while Poipu Beach about 100 yards further west had a great snorkelling area. Both beaches have nice sand for lying on and relaxing. We saw Hawaiian Monk Seals on the rocks or beach literally every morning we were there, and one day a sea turtle decided to pull up onto the beach for the day. I don't know if this is typical for Kauai, but no matter how rainy the rest of the island was, we had great weather in Poipu every day! Overall, Maureen helped to make the booking process run as smoothly as I could hope for and we have no hesitations in recommending this condo to anybody looking to stay in Kauai.

Owner response:We are truly happy when our guests have a wonderful time on Kauai and in our condo. We work hard to ensure it's in tip top shape so that all you have to worry about is how to spend the day!

We stayed at NihiKai condos and the unit we had was great! Very nice amenities, well maintained, with new furnishings. It was very comfortable. The kitchen was great and had plenty of cooking gear and plates. There were decks on the front and back for relief from the sun, my mother in law used it almost exclusively. The pool at the complex was great, and location a plus! Thanks Maureen!!
