Awesome Deck

We had an unbelievable time at this Condo! We saw whales and turtles every day while enjoying coffee and again at Social hour. And one day we saw at least 3 dozen dolphins some doing their jumping out of the water and spinning. The A/C worked great. The community bbq grills worked great. You can swim, snorkel and surf right outside. We picked the right place to stay on Kauai!

Magnificent oceanfront view

We have traveled all over the world, and this is by far the best oceanfront view we have ever had from our accommodation. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, climate controlled, and met all our needs, including a good selection of beach gear. The building elevators were great so we didn't have to heft luggage, groceries, beach gear, etc up and down stairs. Good location for exploring the whole island, from the natural beauty sites to fun activities.

The location can’t be beat.

The location of the complex and position of the unit itself is wonderful. You can get some sunrise and the sunset from the lanai! Small beach with snorkeling and a restaurant next door. You can rent snorkel gear next door as well which we recommend highly. It’s a nice enough condo but needs a little attention. Windows to the lanai would not open, screen door struggled to slide ( the wheel was not bolted on) and there was an odor that lingered. The bedding was pretty dated and the place could use a deeper clean from time to time. The main bedroom definitely could use a refresh. All the amenities mentioned were there and we were grateful for those items! There was a plumbing problem which was fixed promptly, thank you Albert. The communal laundry facility ( one laundry room per floor) was very tidy and nice.

Great location - Dated Unit

I would advise to find another unit in this complex. The location is fantastic...oceanfront and south facing in Koloa, but this unit is dated. It appears to have little, if any updates since construction in the 1970's other than the mini-split AC units in the living room and main BR (none in the second BR). The lanai has a table, a single lounge chair, and stackable plastic chairs. During our stay we met the people next door and had the opportunity see this unit. It was nicely remodeled...more what you would expect for rentals in this price point. Also, we lost power the first night of our stay, and after exchanging several messages with the host and then speaking with the onsite complex property manager, it was restored after being out approx. 12 hours (the issue was a direct result of actions by the owner). Initially, to his credit, the owner offered to reimburse me approx. 1/3 a night's stay by paying for a dinner, but requested that I send him a receipt proving the cost, which seemed tacky given the inconvenience we experienced. I did that though, and now close to one week later I still have not been reimbursed. Again, great location, but consider other units in this complex.

Million dollar views

Condo was as described. Many sea turtles and surfers to watch from the living room and balcony. Great sunsets. Kitchen was Well equipped with all of the essentials. I don’t recall if listing stated that bedroom with twin beds did not have air. It was pretty warm for September. Appear condo below us was having a lot of tile work, so a tile saw was pretty loud almost every day. Nonetheless, having stayed in Poipu/Koloa area many times, I will definitely stay at Kuhio Shores again and would stay in this condo again. Mahaolo and Aloha.

Excellent location

The view and location are amazing. It is an easy walk to nearby beaches to snorkel, and Baby Beach had a lot of sea turtles. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The only note is that there is no A/C in the second bedroom. We left the door open and used the box fan to get some air in there. It worked out, but it was definitely warmer in the second bedroom. I would stay at this property again.

Outstanding ocean views

The five stars are for the beautiful views of the ocean. I wouldn’t give 5 stars to the condo. The condo was clean but very dated. The beds were comfortable the air conditioning was a must and made the time spent in the condo tolerable because it was hot and humid as is expected in August. A few things could be done to make the condo look fresher. New floor mats the faucets had corrosion.

Outstanding views/location

Our family of four (including two teens) had a great stay in Poipu and would be happy to stay in this condo again. We loved seeing and hearing the ocean each day, and the views from the lanai were amazing, including the ocean, surfers, turtles, snorkelers, and so on. We saw turtles in the water near the rocky shoreline on most days and also enjoyed the scene and views at sunset. This property is right next to Lawai Beach and the Beach House restaurant so it is a destination point for many at sunset. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals, and we also appreciated and enjoyed the proximity to all the local attractions. There is so much to do in the area. (Note: If you are someone who prefers or requires resort-like amenities, this place may not be for you. For our family, it was perfect.)

The perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean

It was a spectacular view of the ocean that really let you relax. You didn't feel rushed to get it of the condo so you could go do something. We ate all our meals on the balcony with the ocean view and sounds. We cooked breakfast at the condo and I enjoyed the blender and good appliances.

Wonderful place to stay!

Our 4th trip to Kauai and we always stay at Kuhio Shores. This unit was spacious and very nicely appointed with cooking supplies, towels, coolers and beach accessories. Of course the reason we stay at Kuhio is the sunset from the deck, watching turtles in the morning, listening and watching the waves crash , ,two minutes from a good snorkeling spot and six minutes from a very nice public golf course. It's a wonderful place to stay!
