South Shore Ocean View 1 BR Condo Ground Floor Poipu Sands #112 newly upgraded!

The condo is very well equipped and the condo complex is well maintained, quiet and peaceful. The view from the condo's lanai is amazing and you are able to walk to beaches, restaurants and stores from the condo. As well, the owner, Jim, was very responsive to our inquiries. We will definitely be back to stay at this beautiful condo.

Great location and is close to walking trails and beaches. The pool area is very nice.

The unit was clean and the kitchen looked like it had been updated. The furniture was comfortable and clean. Overall the unit needs some TLC. The only issue we had, was when another renter - entered the unit while we were not there. The only reason we know this happened, is we arrived back to the condo and they were waiting outside the condo unit. They explained what happened and were very apologetic. The owner has never contacted us to explain or apologize for what happened. This unit never felt secure to us after that. Overall, Poipu Sands was an enjoyable experience.

We enjoyed our stay in this nicely equipped condo. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed several meals on the lanai. Good location in Poipu. The only draw back was that both the bathroom and bedroom are right next to the sidewalk and the road. Because of the need to keep the blinds at half open position there where many times that these rooms lacked privacy.

We have been to Kauai several times and looked forward to going back. This is a nice unit. Well equipped unit and if you want to cook the kitchen is well appointed and works well. Down side is if it is warm and humid the unit will not get very cool at night, the screen door did not lock, however we did leave the door open to provide additional air into the unit. Did find a box fan however it was not working. Several light bulbs that need to replaced, otherwise the unit was in good condition. Owner should know the drain at the right front corner when facing the ocean is plugged, so when it rains water pours from the gutter system onto the patio and floods it. This is a maintenance issue that the building owners should look into so the unit does not get damaged. Ok so the location is a nice one, short walk down to shipwrecks beach and the Hyatt. which is a great spot. Very nice spot to sit in the morning for coffee and in the afternoon for sunset cocktail, good pool area and barbecue spot. Grounds are well kept so surroundings are great. We enjoyed our stay.

The visit was great, and Poipu Sands is a perfect location on the south shore.

Nestled between the two commercial monsters (Hyatt & Points of Poipu), Poipu Sands is a super quiet, relaxing property. You've got everything you need (peace and quiet, pool, BBQ, well maintained grounds), without the chaos the neighboring properties have.

The condo is perfect for two people, the building is elevated on the property so you've got a great view of the grounds, and beach (from afar). If you have the windows open you'll hear the waves crashing on the beach. We spent a lot of time on the back patio relaxing, listening to the waves (and not listening to people).

It's an easy 10 minute walk to Shipwrecks Beach (in front of the Hyatt), whether you're headed to the beach, or up the cliff for hiking.

Shipwrecks had great waves all week (I go to relax and surf), needless to say I surfed everyday the entire week.

You can rent any size or shape surfboard at the shop next to Bennecke's (3-4 minute drive) for $90 a week, much better than doing the airport board drag (plus the $150 each way for the board).

The condo had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, again, if you open the windows on the front and back of the condo, the ocean breeze usually blows straight through the place making it comfortable.

If you're into the big commercial, maid service environment, this isn't for you, this condo is for those who want to come to Kauai, relax, and get away from the hustle, and bustle of tourism. You can get all that driving around the island, but coming back to Poipu Sands is finding peace.

September is a great time to go, we might have seen 15-20 people (at different times) in the entire six building complex during our entire stay, talk about peace of mind :)
