The property is in a great location. Right on the ocean. You’re paying for the view. The condo is a little dated but clean and everything we needed. Would stay again.
Great location. Very close to great snorkeling and snorkeling equipment rental. Also, a 5 minute walk to baby beach. We saw two whales breaching from our unit one morning. Shopping and dining are a 3 minute car ride away.
Easy check in. Great location. Clean. Master bed very comfortable - second bedroom not so much. Hot tub not on premise - about 1.5 miles away so misleading. Next door to great restaurant- The Beach House! Balcony has great view - watched whales, sea turtles, and seals! Also great location for sunsets! Easy walk to restaurants and shops. Kitchen well stocked. Interior needs updating and seems to be in process. Late check out much appreciated!

Aloha,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the easy check-in, cleanliness, and the incredible oceanfront location — and that you were able to spot whales, sea turtles, and seals right from the balcony. Those sunsets truly are something special, and we’re glad they were a highlight of your stay.
We appreciate your feedback on the bedding. Guest comfort is very important to us, and we’ll be taking another look at the second bedroom mattress as part of our ongoing interior updates, which are being completed in phases.
Regarding the hot tub, we’d like to add a bit of helpful clarification for future guests. While Kuhio Shores itself does not have an on-site hot tub, this condo includes complimentary access to the Poʻipū Beach Athletic Club (P.B.A.C.), provided by the owner. That membership gives guests access to the hot tub, pool, fitness facilities, and more, located about 1.5 miles away.
We’re also happy we could accommodate a late check-out and that the well-stocked kitchen, walkable access to restaurants and shops, and proximity to The Beach House added to your experience.
Mahalo again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Kauaʻi in the future.
Warm regards,
Koloa Kai

GREAT LOCATION, GREA VIEW! The owner is trying to update. The furniture in the living room is all new and updated but the doors, windows, bathrooms and overall cleanliness were way short of expectations

Mahalo for staying with us and for taking the time to share your review. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the ocean views and location — they’re what make this property so special.
We appreciate your feedback about the furnishings, windows, and baths. We’ve recently updated the living room and are planning more improvements throughout the condo, including upgrades to the doors, windows, and bathrooms. Cleanliness is something we take very seriously, and I’ve already shared your comments with our housekeeping team so we can ensure this is addressed immediately.
Your input helps us improve for future guests, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back so you can experience the upgrades firsthand. Aloha, the Koloa Kai Team
The front room, the kitchen, the eating nook, and the lanai (with THAT TDF view) was excellent. The bedrooms, bathrooms, hallways are dated but functional. Would I stay there again...Absolutely.
A little aged and dated, surprised the towels were low quality and thin and left lint all over us after use.Everything worked and was in decent shape, appreciated the AC!

Ventilation poor in both bedrooms. Stale. Did appreciate the filter pitcher for water. We did vertically no cooking. Would provide one medium pot. View outstanding!

Aloha Elizabeth,
Mahalo for your feedback and for noting how much you enjoyed the oceanfront views — they really are spectacular from this condo. We also appreciate your helpful comments regarding ventilation and kitchen items.
This home recently welcomed a new owner, and we’ve been making renovations and upgrades as materials and scheduling allow. Ventilation fans for both bathrooms are already on the list, along with a kitchen remodel and new flooring throughout.
We truly value your input as we continue enhancing the guest experience, and we hope to welcome you back to see the updates on your next visit to Poipu. 🌺

This property was just OK, and somewhat overpriced for the condition. It needs updating especially in the bathrooms due to permanent moldy sealant/grout in the showers, peeling paint and strange looking mirrors. The front door handle was awkward and didn’t feel comfortably safe with only a lock on the keypad lock.
