Why the Owner Chose Kuhio Shores
It is island paradise as close to the ocean and sealife as we could find anywhere.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
We enjoy watching sea turtles swimming around while making breakfast in the kitchen and sighting breeching whales while lounging on the shaded lanai in the afternoon. We also enjoy the freedom of having a groundfloor unit allowing direct access to the beach and ability to spread out the lounge chairs on the lawn. When taking a break from swimming with the turtles or exploring nearby beaches & waterfalls, we spend time watching our children look for shells and play in the tidepools while we're on our lanai or inside the property even (we really are that close to the water!)
Owner's Map of Kuhio Shores
We are a family of 5 who love the beach and enjoy spending time with each other. We met 15 years ago while lifeguards on Southern CA Beaches and now fill our time with our teaching/coaching professions and with our three adventurous children. Together, we especially love surfing, snorkeling (anything in or around the ocean), hiking and traveling.

Just back from a 5-night stay and had a great time. Noel was super helpful and responsive with all my questions before our trip, and the condo was just as described. Clean, convenient, well-stocked, and the location 20 yards from the water (and turtles!) really can't be beat!

We loved the condo it is a great location for a relaxing vacation. We debated between an upper floor unit (more private w/longer views) and this ground floor unit (easy access to the lawn and beach) and we think we chose the best. We spent hours on the lanai and lawn area and enjoyed running over to the beach to view the wildlife. First 24 hours we saw 5 different sea turtles and a monk seal - all endangered. The lanai furniture has been upgraded nicely from what is in the site photos. There is a new shopping center very close to the condo with several restaurants we recommend Josselin’s Tapas Bar and Grill. Always enjoy Keoki’s Paradise but were bummed to find my favorite Loco Moco joint in Hanapepe gone.

This was our fourth trip to Hawaii and this was by far the cleanest condo we have ever stayed in. All the amenities were available for us including snorkel gear, flippers, beach chair, boogie boards and beach towels. The proximity to the ocean didn't hurt at all either. We were able to snorkel approximately 100 yards from our lanai door. This unit gets the morning sun which is a plus since it doesn't get the afternoon heat build up . We enjoyed sitting out the afternoon on the lanai watching the turtles by the shore and whales in the distance. This unit is close to shopping, walking trails and restaurants. It is a 30 minute drive away from Costco. I would definately recommend this facility and hope to stay there again myself on a return trip to Hawaii.

One of the most relaxing vacations we have taken. The sounds of waves and smells of clean island breezes roll through the condo in the evening. Nicely located next to a top-rated restaurant, a botanical garden and upscale private homes. Very secure grounds and steps to the door, parking. Friendly and accommodating owners.

The Kuhio Shores condo #103 was a wonderful place for our family's Kauai vacation. It was so clean and comfortable and came equipped with everything we could ask for. The proximity to beaches with excellent snorkeling and surfing was really convenient. It was also an easy drive to all the places we wanted to explore and we loved the constant cooling breezes. We will definitely recommend this condo to all our friends!

We have been to Hawaii several times and this was by far the best place to stay! So close to everything yet far enough off the beaten path to be totally relaxing! The condo is great and the view is excellent!

This was the most amazing vacation we have ever taken in Hawaii. The proximity to the ocean was closer than anywhere else we have ever stayed. We relaxed to the sounds of the ocean and the sights of sea turtles swimming within feet of us. The condo was recently remodeled. The tropical decor was gorgeous and the cleanliness immaculate. Several times a day we snorkeled in the bay just out front and saw hundreds of tropical fish and other sea life. We can't wait to return to Kuhio Shores #103.
