About this property
Manualoha 901 – Ground-Floor 3BR | Walk to Three Beaches + Resort Pools
Summary:
Manualoha 901 is a rare ground-floor 3-bedroom, 3-bath condo steps from Poipu Beach, Brennecke's Beach, and Shipwreck Beach — three of Kauai's best South Shore beaches in a single short walk. The open, airy layout features private lanais, a fully equipped kitchen, and in-unit washing machine/dryer. Complex amenities include two pools, a hot tub, BBQ areas, and direct access to the Poipu Kai greenbelt paths. Ideal for families or groups who want space, convenience, and an easy-going Poipu base camp.
The Space:
Hurricane Lowell Update (9/9/26): Our thoughts are with everyone on Kauai still recovering from Hurricane Lowell, especially those who lost their homes — parts of the island, including areas of Poipu, were hit hard. For guests with an upcoming stay: we inspected this property in person, found no storm damage, and roads and access here are normal. Recovery across the island is ongoing and will take time. Check kauai.gov for current conditions, or message us with questions about your dates. Mahalo for your patience.

The Area:
Poipu Kai is a 70-acre resort community in Poipu. The community consists of seven condo developments with their own swimming pools, an 8-court Poipu Kai Tennis Club, a community pool and hot tub, and the beautiful Green Belt, garden paths connecting the areas of the resort.

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 transport 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 hire 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 transport gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.
Other Things to Note:
Minimum of 7 days advanced notice required to book. If you have an emergency that requires less advanced notice, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate. Mahalo!
Interaction with Guests:
We will communicate by text most of the time. You will also receive emails from us. Feel free to call us at the Koloa Kai office as well.

We enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect...close to the beach. It was nice to have beach chairs and a couple umbrellas. The beds were great. The kitchen had all of the essentials.
This was a lovely clean condo in a beautifully landscaped resort with several swimming pools and easy access to the shore. We saw many turtles on the beach and it was easy to get into town for scuba diving and other activities. We enjoyed quiet walks around the resort area and swimming in the pools, which were never crowded or noisy.
Location to beach, pools and walking paths were excellent. Beach, laundry and kitchen amenities met our needs. Close to shopping and dining. Quite atmosphere.
The unit was outfitted really well. Air conditioning was great. Super clean and convenient. The managers and owners were really communicative and helpful. Outstanding trip. Thanks so much!
Bring your groceries and everything else is right there. Beach and a few stores walking distance under 10 min. Of course you can explore elsewhere but this is a great place for families
Only things that weren't great was the refrigerator and the beds were really hard, could use ac in the front room, other than that everything else was great

Mahalo for your feedback! We appreciate your input and are glad to hear that you enjoyed everything else during your stay. We will definitely take your comments about the refrigerator and beds into consideration and will be adding a memory foam topper to the beds to ensure a more comfortable sleep experience. Rest assured, we have portable AC units in all bedrooms and plenty of airflow in the living area.
Aloha, Koloa Kai
Property is absolutely perfect. Could not be in a better location. Sea turtles and whales a five minute walk every day. Perfect for families wanting to visit the Island.
Property was great, clean and comfortable. Wonderful location. Had some beach items. The cold bag was small so maybe get a cooler while you’re there, and no goggles for snorkeling but had chairs, umbrella, flippers and boogies boards! We will definitely be coming back!

Mahalo for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will get a larger cooler for future guests. Thanks for the heads up. Aloha, Koloa Kai
The location was fantastic. Having the two swimming pools was wonderful and being so close to the beach made it a great holiday. Our issue was with the living room. Am extra armchair would have enabled our family of 5 to sit comfortably together and having some air-conditioning in the living room would’ve helped a lot.
Good location, about a 20 minute walk to shops & train station which will take you to the airport or city circle (direct line) close to M5 & short Uber/taxi ride to revesby workers club.
Accommodation provides everything you need for a comfortable stay
Lovely place to stay. The air conditioners were great in the bedrooms. Just no air conditioning in the kitchen and living areas. No dishwasher but everything was great and we would highly recommend.

Aloha Jody, Mahalo for your review. We have replaced the dishwasher so that shouldn't be a problem in the future. I hope you will come back and stay with us again soon. Sincerely, Koloa Kai
We loved our stay. The listing stated 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, which it did, but the third bedroom was a stand alone with the third bathroom on main level. This made things a little inconvenient at times.
