The place was well located to many things. The area was walkable but you do need a car to most things or get around the island. We loved sitting out on the lanai enjoying the weather & beautiful view. I would stay here again 100%!

Great Stay to Watch the Whales and Sunset

The location was perfect for Whales and Sunsets. I enjoyed closeness to two beaches one with exceptional snorkeling, turtles and monk seal sightings. Puka Dog and Little Fish Coffee, SO YUM. Don’t forget to go to Keoki’s Paradise for live music and delicious food. When returning to the South Shores of Kauai, this is the places Ill be staying. Comfy beds, beach chairs, and fully stocked kitchen made our stay comfortable and easy.

Excellent Spot; Well-appointed Condo

Great condo. Location is ideal, short walk to great bodysurfing beach, swimming and surfing spots. Condo itself has everything you could need, nice ocean view, clean, quality kitchen amenities (pots, pans, knives, etc), beach chairs and coolers. We would definitely come back.

Kauai is Paradise

Kauai is paradise! We island hopped and Kauai was our second island. We didn’t stay long enough. The island and property are breathtaking. The property is clean, modern, spacious, and has stunning views of the ocean and pool all while being walking distance to beaches and some restaurants. We will be back!

Amazing view

What an amazing face. It is perfectly located close to Brennecke’s beach, the amazing, see turtles that come up on the soundtrack, and Poipu Park. The views from the balcony are amazing. Great place to see the sunset. We had a few questions and a minor issue which were promptly and quickly resolved. My text messages were answered almost immediately. Would highly recommend this place.

Nihi Kai

Great unit, pretty clean except one bathtub, nice view, beach items available for use, AC, and quiet. Very easy check in and out. The only real issue we had was the sewer smell that would come and go in that area (totally not the fault of the owner). We never smelled it within the unit, but did on the lanai and at the pool. Other than that, our stay was great!!

FABULOUS Location and Host

This was our 3rd visit to Kauai and our first time in NK203. Definitely the best location and the best host we have had! We had 2 couples and the condo is plenty spacious for everyone with several seating areas to change things up. The view out to the ocean and the cove with turtles is spectacular. We definitely appreciated the A/C in all rooms. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped and the the washing machine (mostly for beach towels) was very helpful. We were grateful for the beach umbrella, chairs and multiple coolers (we used the large one for day trips). The Brita meant we did not need to buy bottled water which was wonderful. The property manager was very responsive and helpful and left an AMAZING gift basket for us! This was definitely an 11 out of 10 experience! Can't wait to come back.

Great location!

This is a great property! Very close to Poipu and Brennecke Beach, about 10 minutes to Koloa. Maybe 40 feet from the pool. We have stayed in this complex twice now and we were happy this one has AC… the bedrooms are downstairs without much air flow and depending on the time of year can get pretty hot and stuffy. The only thing we wished it had was a bathroom upstairs but that’s absolutely not a dealbreaker for a future trip. We would stay here again!

Gorgeous location!

The location is fantastic, the view is epic! The photos don’t even do it justice. One thing that I wish I had known ahead of time is that all the doors on the lower floor are louvered, meaning any sound that occurs in the bedrooms or bathrooms is entirely audible to anyone else in the unit. I know that this is a common thing in tropical climates and is needed for airflow. This is certainly not the only rental in Hawaii with these doors. It definitely changed the dynamic of our stay, we have a new level of intimacy in our friendships. 😜

The AC split units did not cool properly

We enjoyed the unit - and the location. But the AC didn’t work properly. We reached out - got an answering service. Were told the next day that we weren’t using them properly- as if we’d never used ac or split units before. We also had trouble finding the unit and parking since the rental agency overlooked sending us the address that GPS could use.

The best thing about this property is the location. The second best thing was the space for our family of 5 (with 3 older teens). Loved having the boogie boards, chairs, and coolers available, and loved that the beach was just a few steps away! The location was also convenient for visiting Waimea Canyon, Hanapepe, Allerton Gardens, and Kekaha (for our NaPali cruise), as well as a few minutes drive to shops for groceries and shave ice. The property grounds were beautiful, and we loved sitting out on the lanai. The not so good things were: how hot the upstairs got, even with the fans and ac going; the cockroach we found in the bathroom and the little bugs that were all over the kitchen countertops; the bathroom door not locking; and just in general how tired and dated most of the condo was (it had an "old" smell to it).

We would gladly choose this place again. It's conveniently close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, all within a short walk or a 5-10 minute drive. The property was immaculate, the kitchen was fully equipped, and we were pleasantly surprised to find it stocked with 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, coolers, and boogie boards! Communication was prompt and useful.

Paradise in poipu

Condominium and grounds including pool bbq tennis courts was beautifully maintained Parrish staff and on site manager were exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location to poipou beach and benecke for puka dogs or a meal fabulous Close to little fish coffee shop for açaí bowls…amazing Surrounds shopping centers close. Food shopping was challenging compared to mainland but understandable given location. The condo was a spacious 2 story layout kitchen well equipped. Nice to have in condo laundry so not necessary to bring a lot of clothing. Large deck to View whales from…amazing. the telephone wires and poles hampered a bit. The doors to bedrooms were slatted so privacy limited. We were 2 couples away on vacay. Beach chairs and umbrella provided which was nice since you are able to walk to beach. A few chairs need to be replaced. Over all we would definitely return
