About this property

A Beautiful Condo at the Waters Edge with a Great View

This beautiful condo is at the waters edge in Poipu Beach situated on the third floor. It has a fantastic, unobstructed view of a beautiful bay and the ocean.

Taking full advantage of cooling trade winds, this vacation rental is on the end of the complex, which provides more privacy (no foot traffic walking past the bedroom).

You can enjoy the fantastic view from the dining area or living room. Sit out on the lanai and enjoy snacks or meals or just relax and watch the waves roll in.

Things to Do:
You can snorkel adjacent to the condo or take a ten minute drive to Poipu Beach State Park which is renowned for some of the best snorkeling in Hawaii. A trip to Waimea Canyon, known as "the Grand Canyon of Kauai" will be a memorable experience.

Some of the attractions you can enjoy include a helicopter ride to see the island and fly over the famous and breathtaking Napali Coast and the Waimea Canyon. You can also see the Napali Coast by taking a boat trip or take a zodiac boat excursion to caves along the Napali Coast.

Sightseeing at some of the scenic gardens and historic plantations is lots of fun. The National Tropical Botanical Garden is just steps outside the door. These gardens are one of the reasons that Kauai is known as the Garden Island.

You will not want to miss the short boat trip to the lush and beautiful Fern Grotto where weddings often take place. You can easily drive to see the Wailua Waterfalls (you may recall these lovely falls from the opening scene of the TV program "Fantasy Island").

If you just want to relax, sit on the condo lanai, and in the cool afternoon shade enjoy the waves rolling in and also watch for turtles and other sea life.

Snorkeling, sunrises, shopping and a great location

We had a great stay. The unit was exactly as described - the location is convenient with great beaches, resorts, shops and restaurants just a few minutes drive away; watching the sunrise over the cove from the lanai with a cup of coffee was amazing; great snorkeling just a short walk away; beach goodies were certainly appreciated. All in all a great experience!

This place was amazing. The pics do not show how spacious it is. Great location (walking distance to Baby Beach, Lawai Beach, and the Beach House restaurant. We had everything we needed and more.

Beautiful view, clean, convenient location

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. We both loved the oceanfront view and the ability to walk (~20 minutes) to The Shops for shaved ice or such. The lanai was provided with shade and privacy. It was a great place to relax. Washer/dryer are not in the unit, but in the building, requiring quarters (change machine there though). Cleaning crew arrived ~15 minutes early on checkout day.

Awesome view and sounds of the ocean

Once you enter the building you need to sign your name in the book by the door, there are 2 lifts if you do not want to walk up the stairs. Smooth check in, the condo is specious and has an amazing view of the ocean. There is everything in the kitchen if you want to cook. There were yoga mat, cooler, snorkeling gear. The whole complex is right next to the road, definately not a busy road like some people are describing. We slept with the windows open to listen to the ocean waves.

Not as expected

No dolphins come in the cove as advertised but definitely lots of sea turtles. Have to drive to get to beach/sand. Small but cute condo with everything you need to cook a meal. The property managers expect the place to be cleaned which isn’t a problem but they left no dust pan. Host was very rude about having to pay a cleaner extra to sweep the floor and wipe down the stove. I had a 8 am flight and left no trash but definitely paid a cleaning fee. Next trip to Kauai will be somewhere with sand and doesnt require walking up/down 3 flights of stairs to go everywhere. Better places for this price

Well-Appointed Condo Near Poipu Beach & Old Koloa Town

We truly enjoyed our stay and can’t say enough about how thoughtfully this condo was prepared. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that the owners put great care into making sure guests have everything they need for a comfortable and convenient stay.The bathroom was stocked with extras we didn’t expect—body wash, sunscreen lotion and spray, a hair dryer with a diffuser, liquid hand soap, and plenty of soft towels. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed (and more!)—pots, pans, baking supplies, utensils, prep bowls, measuring cups and spoons, a toaster, coffee maker, hot water kettle, blender, dish towels, sponge, dish soap, trash bags, dishwasher pods—the list goes on. It made cooking and cleanup a breeze.We also really appreciated the beach gear: four chairs, a beach umbrella, boogie boards, a small cooler, and even ice packs waiting in the freezer. The extras didn’t stop there—there were books, playing cards, a yoga mat, and a foam roller in the living room, and even thoughtful touches in the bedroom like a laundry basket, luggage holder, and a sweeper.Having access to the shared laundry room (with two washers and dryers at 2.50 per load) near the elevator was a big bonus. Our unit was at the end of the building closest to the street, but it was still very quiet and peaceful. There was also a nearby stairwell that made it super easy to get to and from the parking area.Location-wise, it was perfect for exploring the south side of the island. The small

Anniversary trip

Stayed 5 nights on a 25th Anniversary trip! June 17th-21st. Unit location is absolutely perfect! Unit faces an ocean cove. We woke up every morning before sunrise. Grab a cup of coffee and relax in the adirondack chairs on the lanai and watch the sunrise. Doesn't get much better than that. There is a fantastic restraunt call the beach house ( recommend getting a bar top seat reservation) next door to the condo property. Did the happy hour before an early dinner. Great snorkeling and surfing in front of the beach house as well as a popular spot to watch the sunset. Plenty of shopping and restraunts within a few minutes near by. We did rent a car to get around. Stopped by the Safeway by the airport to load up on food before checking in. Property has everything you need in the kitchen. We slept with the windows open. If you wake up in the middle of the night due to the sounds of ocean waves. Then your in the right place. I see reviews that mention the unit is close to the road. Live with it, your in paradise! We went on an excursion and visited a few different beaches. We took a Napoli coast raft trip via ocean blue adventures. Also went to brennecke's beach and took the provided boogie boards in the unit. Recommend eating at Brennecke's beach broiler restaurant. Overall the unit was fantastic! Location again is perfect. Property grounds are well kept. Great and timely communication with the host.East decision to stay again!

Komfortable, Kozy Getaway in Koloa on Kauai

Our stay at Kuhio Shores was as advertised in the VRBO listing. While the noise from Lawa'i Road was at times distracting it was never annoying. We toured the entire island of Kauai from this location. The information provided enabled us to choose a location that met our trip's sightseeing objectives and vacation goals. A 25-minute drive from the Lihue Airport, this corner unit has great views from the Lanai, easy access to South and West shore beaches, restaurants, hiking trails and a boat tour of the Napali Coast. The Lanai overlooks Hoai Bay, what a beautiful sight to wake up to and end the day on. The Beach House Restaurant is a five-minute walk along the backside of Kuhio Shores. Don't miss diner at the Beach House, book a sunset reservation and enjoy the hundreds of Green Parakeets arriving to nest for the night. We spent our last day in Kauai at Salt Pond Beach Park. It was not as crowded as the other beaches in the Poipu area with coves for snorkeling, covered pavilions and restrooms covered. Mahalo

Nice Condo

Nice Clean Condo, we had everything we needed except not enough toilet paper. Only one package was there for a 8 day stay. There were no extra batteries for the air conditioner/fan in the condo. The batteries that were enclosed were dead. Disappointed that the beach near the condo was not described correctly. You could walk to it but it was very small, crowed and not good for swimming. You have to drive to go to Poipu Beech which is nice. Better directions could have been given to us for checking in because nobody was in the building. Needed better direction for parking pass. Kitchen was well equipped. Overall we would stay here again. Enjoyed our first visit to Hawaii!

Why they chose this property

I very much enjoy spending time in Hawaii, and especially like Kauai at Poipu.

What makes this property unique

I wake early and sit with my first cup of coffee on the lanai to watch the sun rise over the bay. I love the early morning and always plan to walk along the water. It is peaceful and quiet. The scent of the flowers fills the air as the day is awakening. A short walk brings me to the National Botanical Gardens and then to Spouting Hole just beyond. By the time I return the boats of fishing enthusiasts and snorkelers are beginning to make their journey into open waters, sun bathers are finding the perfect spot on the beach, and I am looking forward to my day of exploring Paradise.
