ALOHA!
Enjoy the best of Kauai. This fully equipped ocean-view studio condo at Poipu Beach has stunning vistas of the bay, peaceful Prince Kuhio Park, and distant mountains framed by rainbows and swaying palms.
Only steps to the beach
Prince Kuhio Resort, awarded a prestigious certificate of excellence for its outstanding qualities, is a small and quaint resort about 20 yards from the beach. Some of the best swimming, snorkeling, and surfing on Kauai are right out in front at Prince Kuhio Beach and Lawai Beach. Hawaiian sea turtles and tropical fish swim close to shore in a protected cove.
The sound of the ocean
You will enjoy the sound of the ocean, the birds singing, the tropical breeze, and the amazing sunrise every day from your lanai, which has a bar-height table and chairs so that you can fully enjoy this extraordinary setting. On the other side of the resort there is a koi pond, waterfalls, and a large swimming pool surrounded by a lush, exotic garden with a picnic and barbecue area.
Located on the second floor, the 400 sf studio (including covered lanai) is tastefully decorated with island-style furnishings and a comfortable king bed. A split-system air conditioner was recently installed for your comfort. Even without a/c, many guests appreciate the cooling tradewinds that often blow through the windows and it is very comfortable for most of the year. The compact but well-equipped full kitchen has lots of extras. Beach towels and beach chairs are provided. All you will need are your swimsuit and flip flops!
A laundry facility is available in Prince Kuhio complex, located next to the facilities manager’s office on the first floor near the front parking lot. The facilities manager is not an individual unit's property manager, however, he can be very helpful in a pinch during the eight-hour day when he is on site.
Ample parking is usually available at the resort. There’s parking in the complex’s front parking lot, on the first floor of the adjacent parking garage, and along the roadside. If parking in the garage, please obtain a card from the site managers’s office and sign up even after hours when the office is often unlocked. If locked, sign up in the morning.
The owner of this unit lives on-island about an hour away so assistance is always readily available.

Nice condo just across the street from the beach. The outside deck looks out over a nice park and a view of the ocean. It feels very private and was a great place to stay.
The property was very well maintained and had a wonderful pool. The rental unit was also very clean and had everything one might need for a visit. We enjoyed having our morning coffee out on the patio looking at the ocean view. Would definitely stay there again.
Easy one room condo with everything you need for a wonderful stay at the south side of Kauai. Easy distance to beautiful beaches, great places to eat, and wonderful adventures.
This was the perfect location for a trip with my hubby. The unit was exactly as described with a beautiful view in a quiet laid back complex. We were across the street from great snorkeling and a 5 minute drive away from Poipu Beach with more great snorkeling and sea turtles and Koloa with shopping and numerous restaurants. Jane (the owner) was extremely responsive, stocked the unit with the essentials we needed, and even left us some chocolates.
The ocean was visible from the balcony where I ate my meals. After the long flight, it was a nice quiet place to catch up on rest before getting out to explore the island. Jane went above & beyond to help.I suggest arriving before dark if you can to get checked in & to park. Easy enough to do, but was a bit confusing after being up for 20 hours & in an unfamiliar area for the first time after dark, and by myself. I would definitely rent from Jane again.

We found the condo to have everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable which is a definite plus for me. We enjoyed the chickens, all the beautiful birds, and the ocean breezes from our deck as we woke up each morning. Thank you!
Quiet location, view of the ocean from the lanai, comfy bed, and well stocked kitchen. Perfect for our needs for the week. Pool was a nice temp and the surrounding gardens are nice. Snorkeling at the beach just to the right of Beach House restaurant across the street was good. Parking was close and easy.
The landscaping. I was going to go to the gardens but decided I couldn’t beat what I had. The studio was so clean and comfortable. Convenient for travel. Jane was a friendly, responsible host. The roosters were so fun. The other guests were friendly and helpful. The view from the deck and the area was beautiful. Thank you.
Great location! Rental was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed. Very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony. Host was very responsive.
The studio was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the island. The location is perfect with snorkeling right across the street and the best breakfast food truck in the parking lot next door - aunty Chela’s pies. The property is lovely and has laundry on-site. The pool was the perfect spot to end the day. Perfect sunset spot and great hosts.
We enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed. Very clean. Would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Jane
I was born and raised on Kauai and currently live in a verdant peaceful valley an hour away from this condo.
Why they chose this property
I chose this studio on the "sunny side" as my home-away-from-home because it enjoys almost year-round sunny skies and is literally steps away from some of Kauai's best beaches for snorkeling, swimming, surfing or simply relaxing.
The South Shore is also an ideal hub when planning an all-day trip to the west, east or north. While heading west toward the spectacular Waimea Canyon for hiking or picnicking, there are picturesque, charming little towns such as Old Town Hanapepe along the way.
If heading in the opposite direction toward the east and north, there's stand-up paddling on the Wailua River, exploring Old Kapaa Town, biking on the popular coastal bike path in Kapaa, numerous hiking trails and many beaches along the coast.
What makes this property unique
I love this condo complex because it sits on a special piece of land in very close proximity to all the beaches and other amenities that Poipu and Koloa have offer. In spite of that, the place has an old Hawaii charm to it, with a lush tropical garden in its courtyard containing some beautiful native species. Also in the courtyard is a well-designed, nicely sized new-ish swimming pool enhanced with a peaceful lava-rock waterfall on one end.
My studio is perfectly situated within the complex, located on the second floor towards the back of the property, yet it is convenient to the pool, manager's office, laundry room and parking structure, and away from any traffic.
Most of all, the unit has a great view of the ocean from the lanai and a peek from the edge of the bed. The unit also faces the expansive Prince Kuhio Park for maximum privacy and it enjoys cross ventilation most of the year and has beautiful sunrises and rainbows.
The vintage studio has a simple no-fuss, efficient floorplan which is easy to maintain and allows me to live a more carefree independent lifestyle.
