Live On the Ocean and Sleep to Surf Sounds in Idyllic Poipu. Trade Winds & AC.
Our comfortable, third-floor, south shore condo is right ON the ocean so you will SEE --and HEAR-- the sound of the surf as soon as you open your front door. The condo, with stylish, contemporary furniture, boasts a comfortable California king bed. Relax "at home" and enjoy the ocean while sitting inside or out on your lanai. Snorkel with turtles right in front of the condo (we sometimes see Eagle Rays in our bay, too)! This is one of the best shore dive sites on the island and our building is consistently rated as one of the best. The condo is nicely furnished so you can get down to the business of relaxing in comfort upon arrival. Come on in and make yourself at home! Most guests who stay in our Rising Sun Suite *do* return, btw....

Let me start off by saying, hearing the waves crash as you lie in bed is literally what dreams are made of. The view was gorgeous, it was a real treat to sit out on the patio, and enjoy the scenery. I did have a mishap the first night of my stay, but the homeowner was gracious enough to rectify the situation. Unfortunately the maid did not do there job properly, because the bedding looked dirty and had stains. The homeowner came right away, and washed the sheets herself, which was very accomadating of her (shes very nice). It did take away from the over all experience though. The condo also felt a bit sterile as far as decorations go for a 500 a night price tag. Location was exellent. Overall I had a nice time at the condo. I would consider coming back on my next trip to Kauai.

This is our second time staying at Kuhio 304, and we already can’t wait to come back. Denise is an incredible host and the property is amazing. Highly recommended!
My husband & I Loved our condo; details like a local number for Safeway grocery, lawn chairs, beach towels etc, nice touches. Very spacious, loved the closets & cabinets so it wasn’t cluttered with our stuff. Clean, minimal decor was great; the little cart was just fun! The host tidbits about everything was so helpful, lowering the blinds, the cross breeze to name a few. Thank you we enjoyed our stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at Kuhio Shores. Beautiful condo; it was very clean and well kept. And the location was a perfect spot in Poipu. We have fallen in love with Kauai!
Clean, beautifully decorated well equipped condo located in a great spot to do anything you wish on Kauia.
The owners were great to communicate with and we enjoyed the view off the lanai.
Would definitely rent this condo again if we return.
Spent a lot of time on the lanai reading or being distracted from reading by the sea turtles!
Condo was as described. Denise is a well versed host who is kind and gives you all the instruction you need!
Denise was an amazing host! The property was as listed. We loved sitting on the deck watching the turtles in the mornings and evenings. Great location would definitely stay there again! Thank you Denise!
Beautifully decorated and clean, with waves and turtles to greet you off the lanai. Denise has everything you need in the condo, and is super responsive and friendly. We love this place and hope to be back soon. The 7:30 pm parrot show is an added bonus, and the location is great!
Denise was a very accommodating host. Her place is beautiful and in a fantastic spot in Kauai! The breeze was wonderful and the view outstanding. We saw turtles from the balcony every day. We wished we could have stayed longer.
This condo was stunning, we loved the updated interior design of this place. The view from the lanai was amazing. The location of this condo is super convenient. The bed is very comfortable. They also had lots of beach gear which was much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!
Lovely layout and furnishings. Kitchen well stocked. Convenient to all south shore attractions, restaurants and beaches.

About the host
Hosted by denise Ball
We first ventured to Kaua'i in 1998 and never looked back! After many visits to the island, and managing our oceanfront condo rentals from the SF Bay area, we left Silicon Valley and moved to the island in 2002. BEST decisions we've ever made -- except our marriage almost 31 years ago.
Why they chose this property
You can not get any closer to the ocean, and our building is just a few minutes drive to famous Po'ipu Beach Park, the Grand Hyatt, and many other well-known resorts. The Botanical Garden and Spouting Horn are minutes away, as are a multitude of restaurants and shops. Yet our building is "off the beaten path," which means peaceful, quiet serenity....
What makes this property unique
Hop on the elevator to the third floor, enter your front door, and you are looking at OCEAN. Your private lanai consists of clear, plexi glass for unobstructed views, so no peeking through the railing. Watch the turtles frolick and feed -- from the lanai, OR from inside your condo.
