About this property

Where the Pacific is Your Front Yard.. Stunning Oceanfront Condo with A/C

Imagine waking each morning to the sound of waves just outside your window, enjoying coffee while sea turtles glide below your private lanai, and ending the day with spectacular sunsets over the Pacific. Welcome to Your Oceanfront Paradise.

Located on Kauai's sunny south shore in Poipu, our beautifully remodeled one-bedroom, one-bath condominium sits just steps from the ocean. As a coveted bow unit that extends beyond the main building, you'll enjoy an even closer connection to the water and breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views.

Kuhio Shores is unlike any other property on Kauai. Built remarkably close to the shoreline, you'll experience the sights, sounds, and fresh ocean breezes from sunrise to sunset. Watch surfers ride the famous breaks at P.K.'s, Centers, and Acid Drops, spot Hawaiian green sea turtles feeding along the reef, and, during the winter months, enjoy front-row seats to migrating humpback whales.

Two beautiful beaches are just a short walk away. Snorkel with tropical fish, swim in crystal-clear water, relax on golden sand, or simply soak in the beauty of Kauai's coastline. The reef directly offshore creates excellent snorkeling while also providing a dramatic setting for endless ocean views.

When you're ready to explore, you'll find many of Kauai's most popular attractions nearby, including Poipu Beach, Brennecke's Beach, Spouting Horn, Old Koloa Town, Allerton Garden, Waimea Canyon, world-class golf, boutique shopping, and exceptional dining. The renowned Beach House Restaurant is just next door, making sunset dinners only a short stroll away.

Our connection to Kuhio Shores began in 2007 during a trip to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. After visiting Hawaii many times, we decided to skip the traditional hotel and rent an oceanfront condo here instead. Within days, we knew this place was different. The beauty of the coastline, the soothing rhythm of the ocean, the warmth of the people, and the genuine aloha spirit captured our hearts. Before we left, we realized we no longer wanted to be just visitors—we wanted to become part of this extraordinary community.

Years later, we're honored to share that dream with guests from around the world. We've thoughtfully designed this home to be the kind of place we love to stay ourselves—comfortable, beautifully appointed, and worthy of its remarkable setting.

Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, honeymoon, birthday, or simply taking time to reconnect, we hope you'll create memories here that last a lifetime. Perhaps, like us, you'll leave already dreaming about your next visit to Kauai.

The ocean is so close. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the sea turtles and the surfers. The sound of waves crashing lulls you to sleep. The condo and property are a little older, but well kept. The condo was FULLY stocked with anything you’d need inside or outside. The entire process was very easy. We were very pleased with the whole experience.

We loved our stay for a week in this unit. The bed was comfortable and the size of the condo was very spacious for the two of us. We love the Poipu and Kōloa area in particular over the rest of Kaua’i. It feels like home to us when we are there. Kūhiō Shores also is our favorite! The property is kept so nice and clean. We just love it!

Right on the water! Loved listening to the waves each night. We did have an issue with the AC unit, no fault to the owner, he had a contractor out the same day to get it fixed. Definite pride in ownership. Clean, well appointed unit. I hope to stay here again!!

What a comfortable and well-equipped condo! Perfect for the two of us and we made the most of it! We spent most of our time there on the balcony, amazed at the spectacular views both sunrise and sunset. And whale watching was superb every day. Easy access to beaches, coastal walks and restaurants. The kitchen and dining made it easy to stay in for meals. A genuinely nice place to stay in south Kauai!

Love the privacy…quiet, noiseless neighbors and outstanding Balcony. No need to spend high on restaurant meals without a view when you can bring in a pizza or cook a nice steak with a bottle of wine and enjoy a priceless sunset. The mirrored walls was a slick way to expand the perception of size. A plus

We really loved staying here. We watched the sea turtles right off the balcony every evening. We even saw rays and fish if the sun was just right. The unit was exactly as described and we would definitely return. Communication was also quick and exactly what we needed when we had questions.

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Merideth

Host profile image
We enjoy creating exceptional travel experiences and believe the little details matter. We've put a great deal of thought into making this home comfortable, welcoming, and well-equipped, and we're continually looking for ways to make the experience even better for our guests.

Why they chose this property

We have been fortunate to travel extensively, visiting more than 38 countries and hundreds of cities while staying at many exceptional hotels around the world. Yet it was a trip in 2007 that changed our lives.

To celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, we decided to do something different. Instead of our usual hotel, we rented an oceanfront condominium directly from its owner at Kuhio Shores. For ten unforgettable days, we woke each morning to the sound of the waves, watched sea turtles from the lanai, and experienced the beauty and tranquility of Kauai in a way a hotel simply couldn't provide.

Although we had visited the Hawaiian Islands about fifteen times before, this felt different. There was something special about Kauai—an authenticity, warmth, and spirit of aloha that touched us in a way no other destination ever had.

Before we left, we realized we no longer wanted to be just visitors. We wanted to become part of this remarkable community and, in retirement, spend as much time here as possible.

We never imagined that one anniversary trip would shape the next chapter of our lives. But it did. Nearly two decades later, we are honored to own a home at Kuhio Shores, and our hope is that every guest who stays here experiences the same sense of peace, wonder, and aloha that first captured our hearts in 2007.

What makes this property unique

Beauty. Happiness. Relaxation. Serenity.

If you love the ocean, it's hard to imagine a place that engages all five senses more completely. Wake to the sound of the waves, breathe the fresh ocean air, watch sea turtles and surfers just beyond your lanai, feel the warm Hawaiian breeze, and end each day with breathtaking sunsets over the Pacific. This isn't just a place to stay—it's a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the true spirit of Kauai.
