As advertised! The location was ideal, beach right beside condo offered awesome snorkelling, 10-15 minute drive had 10 other beaches, lots of dining and grocery options. A short 10 minute walk to all the essentials. Condo was super clean, very quiet and hosts have boogie boards, chairs and towels for beach! Awesome for family with young kids with two twin size beds in one room and king in the other, each room with its own bathroom. Every day whales, turtles and monk seals right from lanai! This place is literally 15 feet from the ocean! Truly oceanfront! If ur looking for a quiet, clean, safe place to stay this is it.

The view was amazing!
We spent two weeks in Kauai this past February. Kuhio Shores is our go to place whenever we visit. Watching the whales, turtles and surfers from the balcony was a good source of entertainment for us as my husband got Covid two days after we arrived. The condo could use some renovating. It's old and dated. The screen door is almost impossible to open and close. The kitchen was well stocked with spices, pots and pans and dishes. Could have used a laundry basket in the suite.

Perfect Location
Nov 2023: My wife and I spent 10 days here and enjoyed every day. The condo does have a magnificent ocean front view. We enjoyed the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below and the ocean breeze moved easily through the condo, we didn't have a need for the air conditioning. Sunset views from the lanai, when the clouds permitted and great proximity to all parts of the island. We like to hike, my wife is a runner and I SCUBA diving, all our needs were met from here. We found the location to be perfect for accessing the north shore of Kaua'i and the west shore up into the Waimea Canyon. There are a few things that require attention, primarily the screen door to the lanai other than that the condo is very comfortable and contains everything we needed. The condo management is very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to returning.

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!

Spectacular and Breathtaking Ocean Views
This property was perfect for us to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on the ocean. The amenities are perfect. Condo is clean and well stocked with items for going to the beach. We sat out on the balcony a lot and just took in the spectacular ocean view and surfers, and the sound of the waves. The sunsets are also spectacular as well! We highly recommend this property!

Great location!
This property is in a stellar location! It feels like you’re almost in the water when you’re sitting on the balcony. What a view! The living room is comfortable, and the kitchen adequate. Main bedroom adequate, A/C & bath in hallway. 2nd bed no A/C, small bathroom in room. Overall, it’s comfortable and had a killer view of the ocean. Great location. We had fun.

Wanna watch sea turtles?
Some of the reviews made me worried but as soon as you open the door to this condo you see the spectacular view. The unit is clean and well stocked. I don’t need every piece of furniture to appear to be new. Every day we watched sea turtles in the surf from the lanai. Kitchen was well stocked—even had a tea kettle! Stay here and find your zen on the lanai. You won’t regret it.

Gorgeous View, comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen
We are checking out right now and are super sad to be leaving. This place has the most beautiful view, and the kindest hosts. The hosts gave us fantastic insight on when and where to eat and enjoy. The view is just OUTSTANDING, literally feet away from the ocean. They have one lounge chair and 4 plastic outside chairs to sit and enjoy the beautiful view. They also have chairs if you come during the summer like we did and miss the sun setting in view of the apartment. They have everything you would need to cook most meals there. If you are looking for a getaway where you can just enjoy the ocean, this is the place for you. If you would like to be pampered - maybe go to one of the resorts nearby.

Very dated and poorly maintained condo with an amazing view
Over the years, I’ve stayed at Kuhio Shores in many different units, and this was by far the least updated and worst maintained unit to date. It clearly has not been updated in over 30 years and it shows, with stained grout, rusty fixtures, exposed wires, crumbly plaster, and damaged furniture. It was also shocking to arrive and find nothing but cheap hand soap and toilet paper for amenities. No shampoo, no Kleenex, no bar soap, etc. Every other unit we’ve stayed in at Kuhio Shores treated us like treasured guests. It’s almost as if this particular owner cared more about profits than his guests’ comfort. At this price point, this was extremely disappointing. But having said all that, the view from Kuhio Shores is spectacular, and the location is very convenient - walkable to beaches, shops, entertainment, sunsets, restaurants, etc. I’d recommend any other unit at Kuhio Shores over this one, but if this is your only option and you can live with the no frills, 1980s vibe, then you could probably do a lot worse.
