Any Closer and You Are Wet! Lanai viewing of whales, dolphins, and turtles

Well... this was the best view of the Ocean our family has ever experienced.

Kelly, the owner of the property, has done a wonderful job of preserving and upgrading his place for all of us to enjoy.

This is so much better than staying at our Marriott timeshare, as mentioned above, the view is second to none. There is such a difference in ocean views. With Marriot, we always saw the ocean, but from a far.

There are no words for what we experienced this past week. The waves crashing on the rocks just a few feet from us at times, especially when a storm came in on Friday and we had 30 foot High and 20 foot wide exploding bursts of waves crashing on the rocks, splashing our screen door at times. Maybe I’m exaggerating a little, they are far enough away to not sweep you into the ocean, but the sound is intimidating for sure! 😎�

Even on the perfectly sunny days, of which there were many, when the sets came in, the waves were crashing on the rocks and created quite a show for us. There is even a blow hole that shoots water directly up in the air, simply amazing. You could pay a little less, but why? If you’re going to travel all the way to Hawaii on a plane, and then spend a week here at least, why not have the ocean right in front of you and be able to hear it 24/7? We could be in our front room with the screen door open and be enchanted by the sounds of the ocean every day and night. Also the same in the master bedroom, as it’s adjacent to the front room and shares the same view.

We saw several turtles and a monk seal playfully swimming in the waves, unfortunately we didn’t see any whales because we weren’t in season for them, but no matter, no regrets. Poipu beach is within walking distance. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. thanks again Kelly for allowing us to share your paradise for the week! Hope to come back again in the future. Mahalo,

Fun place to stay at reasonable cost. Waves crashing on lava shores are entertaining. Sunset off to the side, but nice. Communal BBQ. Beach is a long walk or short drive.

Perfect location overlooking the ocean, with nice furniture and appliances. No air conditioning but the ceiling and portable fans were enough. Good communications - the owner replaced a faulty screen door. Ample close parking. 3 sets of stairs to get to unit but not a concern. Plenty of beach and bath towels and washer/ dryer with soap. BYO dryer sheets. Plenty of dishes BBQ items for shared grill and dishwasher with soap pods provided. Only saw one bug near sliding door but wasn’t a problem. Recommend bringing power strip for living room for cell phones.

We have stayed in Kauai 3 times and this was by far our best visit and first time with our kids. Pictures do not capture the beauty of the property. Loved our stay and will be coming back.

Fabulous condo. So much better than the listing described! Beautifully updated, very spacious and extremely well equipped. We were there during a particularly stormy week, but hardly cared as we sat mesmerized by the waves crashing on the rocks right below the lanai. Kelly was wonderful to work with. They have thought of everything you could need to make this the perfect vacation!
