Our Ohana (family) beach house is located within building 4 (second closest building to the ocean) of the Poipu Sands development which sits adjacent to the gorgeous Grand Hyatt property and is the closest development within Poipu Kai to Shipwreck beach, which is a gorgeous 4-5 minutes walk away.
Our top, third, floor unit provides, both, a rare front balcony with incredible mountain views; and a large rear lanai, providing one of the most breathtaking ocean views you'll find in Poipu. Being on the top floor you'll be comforted by the cool trade wind breeze, but for those who prefer air conditioning the condo offers air conditioning in both bedrooms.
We completed over $50K in updates to provide our guests with a very homey Hawaiian style luxury feel.The unit will now easily sleep six with both bedrooms offering California king sized beds and the brand new high end pull out couch in the living room (a self-inflating air mattress is also available).
The large master suite offers island style furniture and bedding, a large bathroom with his and her sinks, and a remodeled large walk-in shower. Additionally, large sliding doors offer access to the oversized Lanai. On our visits we love to leave the slider doors open as the sound of the ocean waves put us right to sleep.
The second bedroom offers more of the same, with a comfy California king bed, a built in desk area which is perfect if planning to do some work on your trip, recently remodeled large walk-in shower, and air conditioning for the warmer nights.
Transitioning to the exterior, the community heated pool is perfect for those days when the surf is a little rough. For exercise there are no shortages of walking or jogging paths in the area, or if tennis is your sport feel free to bring your racket along as the community has well maintained tennis courts. There are several local shops that rent out bicycles and electric bikes as well.
If you enjoy grilling as much as we do, you'll love that the community grilling area is directly in front of the balcony and offers an ocean view! There is also a very large grassy area for the kiddos to play in while grilling up your specialty or some local Hawaiian fare!
Follow the path along the Poipu Kai Greenbelt for a less than five-minute walk to Shipwreck’s Beach, explore the scenic Maha'ulepu Coastal Trail while watching for sea turtles,Hawaiian Monk Seals, or whales, or check out award-winning Poipu Beach, just a 15 minute stroll from the condo. Situated on seven acres of tropical landscaping next to the Grand Hyatt Kauai, Poipu Sands also puts you right next door to restaurants, shops, live entertainment, and world-famous Poipu Bay Golf Course.

Thanks Jill for the review! We loved hosting you and your other guests. Thanks for taking such wonderful care of our home. Hillary our cleaner commented on how clean you left everything. We truly appreciate you!
Restful condo, well equipped, clean with better than advertised views of the ocean. We watched the sunrise daily on the spacious lanai, enjoyed the breeze and sounds of the ocean waves inside and out. Close to Hyatt so great for conferences held there.

Aloha Beth, thank you so much for the great review and we hope your conferences went well! You are welcome back anytime, I know the sounds of the oceans are already calling you back! :)
The condo at Poipu Sands was a great location and had all the amenities that we needed. It’s a short walk to a sandy beach or the pool and is beautifully maintained. It is stocked with pool and beach items. The hosts were easy to reach and work with too
Highly recommend staying here. It was our home away from home as we visited lovely Poipu.

Scott and Kelli offer a beautiful family condo, and were the nicest hosts imaginable! Well equipped, super clean (I am a clean freak), with a great location! We will be back!
Great property and view. Watched whales from the deck. Seals and turtles on the beach. Unit has all the amenities and is centrally located to activities/restaurants. Hosts were helpful with recommendations and things to do. Would definitely stay there again if visiting Kauai. Wonderful place to stay.

Mahalo for the great review. We're grateful to have been able to host you and hope to host you all again in the future!
This is an amazing property! It was hands down the best equipped and furnished place we have ever stayed. The sunrise view from the huge lanai is a great way to start the day. We also ate all our meals out there. The grounds are very well maintained as well. It was perfect for our family and we hope to visit again soon. Aloha
Wonderful experience! Everything is as described, and then some. Location is perfect (Poipu Beach, Kauai south side) with a nice ocean view and close to everything (restaurants, grocery, fish market, etc.). Property is well kept and nicely furnished. Property owners were very responsive and helpful with recommendations for sightseeing, restaurants, etc. We stayed for two weeks and could have stayed for many more!

Aloha Scott, thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review, we greatly appreciate that. We would love to have you and your family back in the future.
Kelli and Scott are the best and most responsive hosts I have worked with and I have stayed in this area many many times. The condo is so well equipped from kitchen to everything you might need to play on the island. Questions are answered promptly and they sincerely want their renters to have a great vacation. I can’t wait to stay here again! Don’t hesitate to stay in this unit!

Sally, we appreciate you so much! We're so grateful to have such great guests like yourself! We'd love to have you back in the future!!
I have been renting from VRBO for 20 years now and this is one of the best experiences I've ever had. The hosts, Kelli and Scott are so wonderful to work with and so very helpful. The condo is great. Beds are very comfortable, furniture is stylish and tasteful and the view is beautiful. The porch is where you will spend a lot of your time while in the condo. The thoughtful amenities such as starter packs of coffee, some hawaiian treats, condiments, etc. were greatly appreciated. Our stay here was thoroughly enjoyable! Mahalo, Scott and Kelli!
How to summarize this amazing property…location location location! This property was a home away from home. And you felt that the second you walked through the door. Super clean! We has 2 single moms and 3 kids all together and there was plenty of room for everyone to feel like they had their own space. The bathrooms were both huge and very new! And the kitchen had everything you needed and then some. And the community pool was Perfect too. And you are right on the ocean when he was a treat to see and hear everyday!
Scott & Kelli were the perfect owners and had so much knowledge of Kauai. The closet we found with everything you would need to enjoy Kauai was perfect. They even had beach bags for us to use.
We would def stay here again and cannot wait to come back!
Thanks so much Scott and Kelli
This property had everything we needed and wanted: ideal location, comfort, view of the ocean, fully stocked kitchen and thoughtful amenities. The hosts couldn’t have been more responsive or considerate. Lovely vacation spot.
Wonderful location with a view. Owners went above and beyond in their communication and made us feel at home before we arrived. We would be very happy to stay here again.
Great location in Poipu. The host was great and the property was perfect for our family. The condo is well stocked with everything we needed for a great vacation. The host was in communication well in advance and through our trip to offer tips for our stay or just checking in to see how things were going while we were there. We couldn’t have asked for a better property, host, or overall experience!!!!

Mahalo for the great feedback, we really appreciate the time you took to do this review. The aloha spirit is what it is all about! We are grateful to have been able to host you all, our family is grateful! Come back anytime!
The property was wonderful and had everything we needed to make our stay as easy as possible, especially with a young child. The property was a very close walk to the ocean and the front and back balconies had wonderful views. There were plenty of sand toys for our kid, beach chairs, and snorkel equipment for us. We were provided advice for rental cars and reminders along the way. Kelli gave updates of the island mandates helping keep us informed. After initial booking we had a conflict and needed to change the dates of our stay. Kelli was understanding and did everything she could to make sure we got dates that worked and made the process seem less. Communication with Kelli easy and quick as she made herself available to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely return in the future.

Derek,
Mahalo for the detailed feedback, this is very helpful to future guests. We are very grateful for our guests and put a great amount of time and effort into the condo so our guests can sit back and enjoy their vacations. Come back soon!
From beginning to end this was seamless. Communication with Scott and Kelli was excellent. The property was exactly as listed, and perfect for us.
We enjoyed listening to the ocean from the lanai! We had coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening as we looked out to the water and heard the waves crash.
The kitchen had everything we needed and we used the bar-b-que as well.
The closet of pool toys and coolers/bags, etc., came in handy and was appreciated.
We could not have asked for a better location and condo for our amazing stay in Kauai, we will certainly be back!
Thank you Scott and Kelli for sharing your beautiful home with us!
Kelli and Scott were the best hosts. It started right after we made the reservations and then sent out advice to book car rental and excursions as things were filling up. They also sent a list of things to do and tailored it to our group which included 2 teen girls. They communicated well and were very accommodating in allowing us to check in early after we checked out of another place on the other side of the island.
We were greeted with a lovely "basket" of goodies, coffee and lotions. Everything in the unit was as listed. There were lots of beach stuff; snorkel gear, insulated bags, chairs and umbrellas, good beach towels. There were sand toys but our girls were too old for that. Kitchen had everything we needed; tons of Tupperware, a cooler so we could head out to the beach and hikes for picnics and snacks.
Beds were super comfortable and bathrooms/kitchen had been updated and were lovely. We spent a lot of time on the lanai which had rocking chairs, dining table/chairs and lounge chairs- lots of options out there.
Location of Poipu Sands was also great. A walk to the Shipwreck beach, Grand Hyatt and the Mahaulepu trail. A quick drive to Poipu beach where we snorkeled and saw amazing and colorful fish. Trip was pure paradise.
A great stay with great hosts.

Oh my gosh Barb, thank you so much for your kind words and great review! We really try to go above and beyond for all of our guests and to position our condo as a high end unit with many more amenities than you'll find with other units, and it sounds like we hit our mark!
Thank you for being such wonderful guests and we do hope if you're ever heading back to Kauai that we can host you and your family again. Our family is grateful you chose to stay at our unit and so glad we could enhance your Kauai experience! :)
About the host
Hosted by Scott Surface
We are residents of San Diego, with Kauai being our home away from home. If you've been, you know the beauty of the island and all that it offers. We have three younger children and recently adopted and welcomed a puppy into our family. We love to travel, meet locals, and try local foods!
Why they chose this property
Kelli grew up going to Kauai on family summer vacations and continued to go in adulthood. When she met Scott she knew she had to take him to her special place in the world and we now share in our love for Kauai. Within two years we had gone to Kauai several times and decided to buy. In March 2020 we took a trip to look at condos on the market, and that same trip we got engaged on Shipwreck beach.
We fell in love with this property the moment we saw it. It is very spacious, welcoming, and, of course, the view is incredible! Having small children we wanted a special place to spend summers together as a family. With Poipu being so family/kid friendly we knew we had the right place! We absolutely love the location with it being the most eastern property within the Poipu Kai Resort. We are adjacent to the Hyatt which offers amazing restaurants, shopping, golf, and one of the best spas on the island.
