Getting Around:
When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.
Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.

• Reservations canceled 30 days or more prior to arrival date are 100% refundable.
PESTS:
Kauai is in a climate that is considered to be both tropical and within a rainforest category, known for its lush flora and fauna. The environmental factors create a situation where pests (insects) are nearly impossible to eradicate from every property constantly. Many bugs fly in when a door is open at night or are simply small enough to come in through screens on windows and sliding doors. For this reason, Koloa Kai engages regular quarterly pest control in every property to keep the pests at bay. Despite these efforts, it is possible to have pests in your property, and if that happens, Koloa Kai will take all measures possible as quickly as possible to mitigate any issues. Any monetary compensation, refunds or discounts will be given solely at the discretion of Koloa Kai and will only be available in situations where the company agrees that an infestation has occurred. Koloa Kai reserves the right to investigate and provide remediation of any pest issue. The mere presence of pests in the property shall not constitute grounds for monetary compensation.
30-DAY MAXIMUM RENTALS:
Koloa Kai LLC provides only short-term rentals with a maximum reservation of 30 days. Each reservation is fully documented and provides for a fixed date and time for check-in and check-out, rental rates, associated fees, and all other requirements required by local and state law. If a guest books consecutive reservations where the check-out and check-in dates are concurrent, then a cleaning fee will be assessed, and a Koloa Kai designated cleaning professional/inspector will have unrestricted access to the property for the purposes of cleaning and inspection of the property. During the time between reservations, described by the check-out time and check-in time specifically, the guests shall vacate the property so that the designated cleaning professional/inspector can conduct a full reservation clean and inspection in accordance with Koloa Kai’s standard practice. Guest access to the property shall be restricted specifically to the date/times of the reservation documentation and may not be extended upon verbal or text message confirmation.
Hawaii Laws require that GET (4.712%), Kauai TAT (3.0%) and TAT (11%) taxes apply to the cleaning fee.

It was a great condo in an ideal location. It was beautiful furnished and the property management company could not have been more accommodating in correcting problems with the cable and WiFi. Definitely a place we’d like to stay in again!
As soon as we walked in the place was just as described! The kitchen was amazing and the view from the lanai was our absolute favorite place to be sunrise and sunset! Poipu sands #513 we couldn't have been more happy with our choice and a huge thank you for the welcome basket and sharing of home for 9 days. It was so close to so many things we were able to enjoy the whole island from this spot. We hope to come back again and we will look for this place !
Perfection! Kōloa Kai Vacation Rentals goes the extra! Our vacation was amazing. Our view was spectacular; palm trees, the ocean and sky. Tradewinds through the massive slider. Quiet and fragrant of plumerias.

Such a beautiful, easy place to stay. Walk out the lanai to the beach, the Hayat, and then into a great trail system to hike along the bluffs where you can look down and see turtles in the water.Kitchen is well appointed. Bed is very comfortable. Would stay here again.
Great location, clean facilities, spacious condo, beautiful views of the beach, and proactive communication from the host/property manager. Parking was also very convenient. Great value for your money!
Great view of the ocean and close proximity to the beach. We really enjoyed the walking path. This condo is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed!
Poipu Sands 513 was the perfect condo for us. Beautiful view of shipwreck beach and the walking path was nice through the Grand Hyatt property. We enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future.
This property has an amazing location. Very well equipped and had everything we needed. Extra nice touches were back up supplies, lots of towels, cable TV and internet on the rare occasion the weather isn’t cooperating 😉
This unit has an incredible view. It's extremely well outfitted with everything to make your stay comfortable. It's a very short walk to the beach as well as the large pool. The staff was immediately responsive to a minor issue with the internet on checkin. I would choose this again the next time I am in Kauai.
