Summary:
Manualoha 901 is a rare ground-floor 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo steps from Poipu Beach, Brennecke's Beach, and Shipwreck Beach — three of Kauai's best South Shore beaches in a single short walk. The open, airy layout features private lanais, a fully equipped kitchen, and in-unit washer/dryer. Complex amenities include two pools, a hot tub, BBQ areas, and direct access to the Poipu Kai greenbelt paths. Ideal for families or groups who want space, convenience, and an easy-going Poipu base camp.
The Space:
Hurricane Lowell Update (9/9/26): Our thoughts are with everyone on Kauai still recovering from Hurricane Lowell, especially those who lost their homes — parts of the island, including areas of Poipu, were hit hard. For guests with an upcoming stay: we inspected this property in person, found no storm damage, and roads and access here are normal. Recovery across the island is ongoing and will take time. Check kauai.gov for current conditions, or message us with questions about your dates. Mahalo for your patience.

The Neighborhood:

Getting Around:
When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.
Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.
Other Things to Note:
Minimum of 7 days advanced notice required to book. If you have an emergency that requires less advanced notice, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate. Mahalo!
