Run down unit

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really worn down for the price, kitchen was extremely small and not well organized, while the waves were amazing during the day they were too loud at night to sleep well. Bedrooms were clean and nice with comfortable beds but the lanai and living room furniture were dirty and uncomfortable.

Poipu Kauai

Property on cliff overlooking water. Beautiful views. Can't be beat. Have to walk a few blocks to access the water. Then it's a very crowded public beach. Every night the turtles come up to sleep, in front of the beach goers. There is no air conditioner. There are some fans in the rooms. I would imagine summer time would be quite hot. We were pretty hot even in janurary. Although, by the end of the week we got used to it. We had a great stay. The fitness club is a great perk!!

This is a very clean and nicely appointed condo. One of the best VRBOs in which we have ever stayed. Lovely to be able to sit on the deck and enjoy the view, waves, and turtles.

What an incredible view. Right over the water. Sunrise and sunsets are beautiful. You can see sea turtles in the water all day. 301 B is a 3 bedroom unit with a huge lanai. I would absolutely stay here again.

Stunning area to stay in.

The overall visit was wonderful. It could use a little updating with dishwasher and kitchen and bathroom faucets. The beds were not comfortable. So I would definitely get new mattresses. Just a suggestion maybe have a first aide kit at the house But I loved our stay. And everything was very easy.

You constantly see turtles from the balcony ;o) Right next to a nice beach and good food. Owner didn’t email lock box code so check in after hours was a bit difficult but it was worked out within an hour.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location.

Reviewer Comments: We travelled as a family of 5 adults from the UK and we wasn't disappointed in the accommodation it was spacious and clean fully equipped with all you needed. The pool and sundeck were also a lovely addition to come back to after a days sightseeing. The location is also very central if you want to travel the island or take a walk down to the local bays.

The view, watching the turtles directly in front of us, and the incredible sound of the crashing waves will be impossible to duplicate. The condo itself was ideal and fit our family perfectly.

Truly Amazing Condo

What can be more amazing that sitting on your deck watching sea turtles below? Looking out from the dining room looked like we were on a boat! The bad news, not sure we will ever find a place that is better than this. I also don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere in Hawaii without seeing at least one roach, but not even one at this place. Lots of room on the deck with plenty of chairs for the 5 people in our group. I enjoyed the walk to the ocean path to view the sunrise. In early May the temperature was perfect 24/7. We did go to the athletic club to enjoy drinks by the pool, a game of shuffleboard and a morning workout. Beds were comfortable. The walk to Poipu beach was an easy less than 15 minute walk. I highly recommend staying at this condo!

Amazing View

Amazing view - that's what you're paying for so enjoy it. Turtles, Dolphins and Whale sightings daily from the balcony. Overall condo and property is very nice and clean but not luxury or extremely large. We had 5 in our party which was about max. Bed and mattresses very firm....european style. Living room is small for 4 people but comfortable. Pool was not heated which made swimming in January not much of an option. Location is short walk from downtown and beaches. Would recommend and stay again....especially if the pool heater was working.

Property Needs Improvement

Location and view is great. However the property condition was relatively poor, definitely needs maintenance, fresh coat of paint everywhere. Found a big cockroach which was a bad surprise. It is apparent that the owner did not keep the property in good shape. Candy wrappings under bed means cleaning crew did not do a good job. Apart from the awesomw view, only one star...

Beautiful vacation rental with amazing views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying at Poipu Shores and will definitely be going back. The unit was clean and had all amenities we needed and more! There were beach toys and chairs in the closet which was an added bonus. The lanai is right on the ocean and every day we saw turtles and whales while having our coffee. Our kids also loved the pool and having it right next to the ocean made for a beautiful and relaxing time while they played. The only drawback is the kitchen is a tad small but that never became an issue for us.

Absolutely stunning view!

The unit is just as listed with two very nice rooms and one smaller room, and an enormous balcony. With the cool breezes and the roaring waves, it was really easy to sleep. We didn't spend a ton of time in the unit and only used the pool once, but if we did it again, we'd plan more downtime to just hang out and enjoy the view. There are only two drawbacks to the unit. The first is that it's on the second floor with no elevator, so it can be challenging to get your luggage and groceries up and down. The second is the parking. All of the cars are parked really tightly and there really aren't a lot of spaces. By the end, we were just parking at the top of the hill and walking down to our unit rather than struggle not to damage our car.

Nice place but waves are very loud

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay at this location but there was no AC (definitely needed it while we were there) and the waves were very loud crashing against the rocks and can be heard throughout the condo. We did very much enjoy watching the turtles below. Fortunately we were not inside the condo all that much as we were out enjoying the island. I would probably not stay at this location again because of the lack of AC and the very loud waves crashing against the rocks below.
