The ocean views were great. We were able to see several whales and sea turtles. The accommodations worked very well for our party of 4 adults. Unit conveniently located close to shops and restaurants.
Whales, dolphins and turtles right from the balcony! We had a great stay in this comfy unit. Plunge pool was great and we enjoyed the amount of space we had. Parking was never a problem and the hosts were always quick to respond. We loved being so close to the beaches and even got to see a monk seal hanging out not too far down the road.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Great location on the southern coastline (no direct beach access) to watch the ocean crash onshore. Balcony was delightful to sit on and enjoy the morning birds visiting and sunsets. Just a short walk away is public access to the coastline for a gorgeous view of the sun rising. Condo is equipped for cooking and trips to the local beaches.
The Koloa Kai folks did a great job of responding to the couple of issues we had. They were prompt and satisfied our concerns completely. The unit we rented was great. Well maintained, clean, and allowed us a great vacation. The views from the lanai were incredible.
The host was communicative and provided excellent resources regarding location amenities, places to visit, things to do, and places to eat.The location provided relaxing sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the rocky shore day and night; and provided unobstructed views of the ocean with periodic sightings of whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and sea lions.
This place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed plus more. The location was excellent - and while we were there, we could see whales and turtles off the balcony at least once a day (usually more)!
We had a lovely stay. The condo had an amazing view and was in a great location. It was well furnished and had beach chairs, umbrella, boogie board and ice chests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.
Great location within walking distance to all of our favorite beaches and restaurants. The view from this unit was breathtaking. Will absolutely consider renting on our next trip.
This condo had everything we needed - some kitchen and laundry basics, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella. Easy parking, mostly quiet neighbors and spectacular ocean views (with dolphins, turtles and even a whale!). We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this condo! The views and location were awesome! The owners thought if everything to make our stay wonderful! I would definitely recommend this to other visitors to the beautiful island of Kauai..
Lovely, well appointed condo with amazing ocean view. The patio was a treat to sit on each morning and evening and watch the turtles and dolphins swim by. Communication with management staff was excellent.
This was our first time to the island and decided VRBO over a resort. So happy that we did! The condo we stayed in was amazing with spectacular views of the ocean. What a wonderful experience, looking forward to returning.
Amazing place to stay. The view from the balcony is even more beautiful in person. The place was very nice and clean. The only problem was the guest room didnt have a closet but other than that this place was perfect!
We really enjoyed our stay at Poipu palms - the unit was comfortable and had everything we needed. The best part was the location - water views right from the unit, and the sounds of waves crashing throughout the day. Poipu beach was walking distance, and other restaurants/stores were a short drive away. We would definitely considering staying here again!
We came to Hawaii to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed everything Kauai has to offer. We also loved the view from Poipu Palms -- beautiful ocean views and daily turtle sightings (no matter the time)!
The view was amazing and the condo very nice. We had zero issues during our stay. The pictures and description were all accurate. We even got to watch the turtles in the ocean a few times right from the lanai. We would love to return to this place in the future!
We were so happy to get such a lovely place. Perfect location, walking distance to beautiful beach! So thoughtful to have all the supplies for beach , towels , umbrella , chairs, etc. would definitely stay again. Thank you
