Awesome spot - comfortable, clean and easy. Snorkeling and sunsets steps away and watching the surfers and the turtles in the water right below the lanai was amazing. We had such a great time during our stay - Mahalo!

Magnificent oceanfront view

We have traveled all over the world, and this is by far the best oceanfront view we have ever had from our accommodation. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, climate controlled, and met all our needs, including a good selection of beach gear. The building elevators were great so we didn't have to heft luggage, groceries, beach gear, etc up and down stairs. Good location for exploring the whole island, from the natural beauty sites to fun activities.

Whales and turtles

We loved the view from the lanai. Saw a huge sea turtle each day as well as some smaller ones, and we enjoyed whale sightings from the lanai almost every day.

The perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean

It was a spectacular view of the ocean that really let you relax. You didn't feel rushed to get it of the condo so you could go do something. We ate all our meals on the balcony with the ocean view and sounds. We cooked breakfast at the condo and I enjoyed the blender and good appliances.

the best vacation at Kuhio Shore

Thank you, Mel and Pearl, for the condo. We never actually stayed in any place where we can walk to the beach and snorkel. My favorite part was to soak myself in warm water and watch marine life including sea turtles every morning. We'll treasure the memories we had in this condo and we'll miss the sound of surf. We hope to return soon. Mahalo!

Outstanding ocean views

The five stars are for the beautiful views of the ocean. I wouldn’t give 5 stars to the condo. The condo was clean but very dated. The beds were comfortable the air conditioning was a must and made the time spent in the condo tolerable because it was hot and humid as is expected in August. A few things could be done to make the condo look fresher. New floor mats the faucets had corrosion.

As advertised! The location was ideal, beach right beside condo offered awesome snorkelling, 10-15 minute drive had 10 other beaches, lots of dining and grocery options. A short 10 minute walk to all the essentials. Condo was super clean, very quiet and hosts have boogie boards, chairs and towels for beach! Awesome for family with young kids with two twin size beds in one room and king in the other, each room with its own bathroom. Every day whales, turtles and monk seals right from lanai! This place is literally 15 feet from the ocean! Truly oceanfront! If ur looking for a quiet, clean, safe place to stay this is it.

Gorgeous View, comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen

We are checking out right now and are super sad to be leaving. This place has the most beautiful view, and the kindest hosts. The hosts gave us fantastic insight on when and where to eat and enjoy. The view is just OUTSTANDING, literally feet away from the ocean. They have one lounge chair and 4 plastic outside chairs to sit and enjoy the beautiful view. They also have chairs if you come during the summer like we did and miss the sun setting in view of the apartment. They have everything you would need to cook most meals there. If you are looking for a getaway where you can just enjoy the ocean, this is the place for you. If you would like to be pampered - maybe go to one of the resorts nearby.

This condo sits in a magnificent location right on the ocean. One can sit on the lanai and watch the waves surfers and birds. The Condo was quite dated however. It was built in 1973 and does not appear to have been modernized.

Awesome Deck

We had an unbelievable time at this Condo! We saw whales and turtles every day while enjoying coffee and again at Social hour. And one day we saw at least 3 dozen dolphins some doing their jumping out of the water and spinning. The A/C worked great. The community bbq grills worked great. You can swim, snorkel and surf right outside. We picked the right place to stay on Kauai!

The location can’t be beat.

The location of the complex and position of the unit itself is wonderful. You can get some sunrise and the sunset from the lanai! Small beach with snorkeling and a restaurant next door. You can rent snorkel gear next door as well which we recommend highly. It’s a nice enough condo but needs a little attention. Windows to the lanai would not open, screen door struggled to slide ( the wheel was not bolted on) and there was an odor that lingered. The bedding was pretty dated and the place could use a deeper clean from time to time. The main bedroom definitely could use a refresh. All the amenities mentioned were there and we were grateful for those items! There was a plumbing problem which was fixed promptly, thank you Albert. The communal laundry facility ( one laundry room per floor) was very tidy and nice.
