Beautiful condo. Looks just like the pictures.

Loved the location-walking distance to the beautiful beaches. Loved seeing the sea turtles. The condo is decorated nicely. Had everything we needed for our few days in Kauai. Owner was wonderful and so appreciative of her kindness.

Paradise Honeymoon

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poipu Kai! My husband and I took a late honeymoon and wanted something special. We knew we wanted the ability to make food, have our privacy, and proximity to beaches. Susan’s place had it all and was so comfortable catering to our every need. 100 percent would go back!

Great location and property

The condo had everything we needed! It was clean and the owner even provided beach towels. It is true that the beach is only a short five minute walk and the washer/dryer, pool, hot tub and tennis court add to the amenities. Thanks!

We had a comfortable, peaceful, relaxing stay. Everything was as described. The place is spacious and accommodating. Our two preteens enjoyed the alcove upstairs. We all enjoyed the onsite washer and dryer, beach gear available, and close proximity to a wonderful beach and amenities. Highly recommend this stay!

Ready to return

This was in a perfect location for everything we were trying to do during our visit. Having the pool and hot tub were great for an end of day relaxation and the balcony for morning enjoyment. The beach is walking distance with an area where turtles rest. I have no complaints about the unit, it was everything we expected it to be.

Poipu Awesomeness 2023

We have stayed at a few places near this property and this was by far the best. The lanai view is amazing and is a bit understated in the property description, which we were incredibly pleased to discover. Beds were comfortable, plenty of space, and a giant bath tub! Our family vacation go down as our best and will never be forgotten, in a large part to these accommodations.

Po’ipu Getaway

The location is spectacular, with wonderful views of the ocean from the very spacious balcony that we had breakfast on every morning. The unit itself was extremely spacious. There was a nice breeze, and no air-conditioning was required on the main floor, but the kids did use the air conditioning up in the loft. Our kids referred to their loft bedroom as the “treehouse.” The kitchen was amazing and was completely stocked with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub area was amazing and for a small fee you can use the tennis courts for tennis or pickle ball.

Amazing Location and Awesome Host

A beautiful, comfortable, well stocked condo in an incredible location. We loved that all of the beach gear was provided. Brennecke’s beach is a super fun place to boogie board and snorkeling at Poipu was amazing! All within walking distance! The pool and hot tub are awesome too. Not to mention the view from the balcony, stunning. Susan is a wonderful, responsive host. We absolutely adored staying here and will definitely book again when we are fortunate enough to return to Kauai!

Fabulous location

We explored the entire island...we saw sea turtles and sea lions just a short walk from the unit. The unit is nice, we used mainly at night for sleep. The snorkel gear and boogie boards were fabulous and much appreciated as were the beach chairs and cooler. The unit is very convenient to everything you want to see.

Beautiful condo with splendid ocean view

Loved the place. The condo is nice and fully equipped. Location is great with easy access to the beach through the well maintained surroundings. Great ocean views from the open living space. The owner (Susan) was very responsive. When we experienced difficulties with the keypad she answered literally in seconds and found a prompt solution. We would definitely recommend this condo to our friends.

Perfect Paradise

We absolutely loved the location of the condo! Only a 5 minute walk to the beach. It has a great view of the ocean, tennis courts and pool! There is a restaurant only a few steps away that has a a good happy hour. The condo has a great fully remodel kitchen and large dining/living area. The beach equipment was nice to use. Especially the beach chairs to watch the sunset every night! Can’t wait to stay here again!

Great location

Great location to get to the beach. Kitchen is updated but that's about it. Shower is very dated. One of the ceiling fans and lights didn't work and one of the floor fans was broken. We barely spent anytime in the house so it wasn't a big deal.

Perfect location, just very HOT inside

This property was perfect for my family of 4. The kids loved the loft and the layout of the space was great. Location was also perfect, offering amazing ocean views, along with the pool, hot tub, and beach nearby. It was well-stocked and had everything we needed. We followed the advice of the property owner to open the windows to allow the trade winds to go through, but it was just too hot to bear, especially in the loft. The AC provided some relief, but it was just so hot everywhere except the main bedroom. The property was not very clean when we arrived. The bathtub had different types of hairs in it—long, short, curly, and what looked like short dog hair. We wiped everything down in the kitchen and bathroom before using these areas. I’m confident we left the place cleaner than it was when we arrived. It might be a good idea to check on the cleaning service to ensure they are doing their job adequately. It was disappointing to arrive feeling like the property was less than clean, especially given the cleaning fee of 245 that was charged to us.

Hot perch overlooking ocean

We visited and stay in Kauai, many times before. It's, the best island for us. And throughout the years we develop some notion, where to stay and what is best suitable for our budget. But, one could never know what is awaiting for him, before he arrive at his destination. We took a risk in renting a condo overlooking busy area in the beautifully manicured resort, with a promising view of the ocean. Tenis courts and swimming pool area under your balcony prove to be a mistake. As far as the condo itself? Well, let just say, if you like it hot, you will be fine. Our host was responsive to our needs , we thank her for that.....but my advice to her will be this. If you want your customers to be happy in your condo, please make sure, you learn something from each of them, every time they rise an issue. We customers, we do often response to everything we see not "kosher". Here, I choose not to be harsh in the criticism of things, but let me be clear. I will not rent this place in the future.

About the host

Hosted by SUSAN SCOTT

Host profile image
I am a mother of three and I live in Utah. I like sharing my favorite place with other people.

Why they chose this property

View, location, and amenities. Photos don't capture how beautiful the view is from the livingroom and dining room, it just washes over you. I want to go outside and jump in the pool, or hit some tennis balls. We sit on the lanai for hours talking, listening to the birds chirp, and feeling the breeze. Its just right for 2-4 people, and feels like an almost minimalist home. The master bedroom has privacy, and the loft is a fun escape. I love to not have to drive everywhere--Breneke's Beach is a 7 minute walk, Poipu Beach is just over the grass from there, with turtles and sea lions and a beautiful sunset to watch. Restaurants almost next door, and many are a short walk away. And, for the car, there is a dedicated parking spot.

What makes this property unique

On the property, there are two community pools (with hot tub) guests can use, and this condo looks out over one of the pools. Guests can also use the private tennis and pickleball courts. There are air-conditioning units in each of the bedrooms if you need them.
