Kauai's condo resorts gather in three places, and the right one depends on when you visit. Poipu, on the sunny south shore, is the dependable choice all year and the favorite in winter. Princeville, on the North Shore, is at its best in summer. Kapaa and Wailua, on the East Side, are usually the best value and the most central base. Below are all 42 resorts we list, with guest ratings and average nightly prices.

Kauai's Best Condo Resorts

Six resorts, each chosen for one thing it does better than the rest of Kauai. Every pick shows the number behind it.

How we choose: a resort needs at least 10 rentals and 200 guest reviews to be considered, review figures are measured against the Kauai average, and no resort is picked twice. Updated November 2026.

01Poipu CondosSouth Shore

21 resorts · 587 rentals · avg $675/nt

Kauai's most popular resort area: drier weather, beaches you can walk to, sea turtles, and the widest choice of condos on the island. The dependable winter pick. Explore Poipu ›

Alihi Lani, Poipu 4.96

Alihi Lani

6 rentals · avg $693/nt

Only six condos, mostly two-bedrooms, across the road from the surf, and every one has an ocean view and AC. Turtles float offshore year-round, whales pass December-April, and Sheraton Beach is a short stroll. Sound carries in the small building.

Kuhio Shores, Poipu 4.9236 oceanfront rentals

Kuhio Shores

42 rentals · avg $533/nt

Poipu's best oceanfront value: nearly every unit faces the water, with turtles and surfers below the lanai, Lawai Beach snorkeling around the corner and the Beach House a minute's walk. Bay-side units catch the sunrise, south-facing ones the sunsets. No pool.

Roomy two- to four-bedroom condos of 1,200 to 1,850 sq ft beside the Kiahuna Golf Course, with central air, enclosed garages, a pool and hot tub. Families come for the space; views are golf and mountain, and Kiahuna Beach is a 15-minute walk.

Poipu Kapili, Poipu 4.91

Poipu Kapili

16 rentals · avg $855/nt

Big plantation-style condos on five acres across a quiet road from the seawall where Poipu gathers for sunset, most with ocean views. Ocean-view pool, tennis and pickleball; the shore out front is lava rock, so swimmers walk to Kiahuna Beach.

Poipu Makai, Poipu 4.904 oceanfront rentals

Poipu Makai

5 rentals · avg $883/nt

Just 15 units on a lava-rock bluff above the surf, with sea turtles below the lanais and a coastal trail out the door; Brennecke's and Poipu Beach are a walk away. Mostly big two-level three-bedrooms with AC - expect stairs and only a small plunge pool.

See 5 rentals Building guide
Poipu Palms, Poipu 4.87

Poipu Palms

7 rentals · avg $563/nt

Just 12 units, with a pool deck hanging over the water where turtles bob below and humpbacks pass in season. Most rely on fans and trade winds, so open windows bring in the surf and some street noise. Brennecke's and Poipu Beach are about a 10-minute walk.

See 7 rentals Building guide
Poipu Sands, Poipu 4.87

Poipu Sands

28 rentals · avg $727/nt

Big one- and two-bedroom condos at the Shipwreck Beach end of Poipu Kai, right beside the Grand Hyatt, with their own heated pool and tennis court. Book Building 5 for full ocean views; AC is less common here than elsewhere in Poipu.

117 rentals · avg $610/nt

Poipu's only beachfront condo resort: plantation-style low-rises on 35 acres of lawns running down to swimmable Kiahuna Beach. Book the front row or Great Lawn for the ocean outlook; back buildings near Poipu Road hear traffic, and the pool is across the road.

Regency at Poipu Kai, Poipu 4.85

Regency at Poipu Kai

44 rentals · avg $794/nt

Spacious two- and three-bedroom condos in three sections of Poipu Kai, a 6-minute greenbelt stroll to Brennecke's Beach. For central AC, book Regency II (buildings 6-9) or the newer Regency Villas; expect garden rather than ocean views.

21 rentals · avg $624/nt

Two-bedroom condos terraced up a gentle slope across the road from a little turtle cove. Lower units are about 2 minutes from Brennecke's and 5 from Poipu Beach Park; upper terraces catch the sunset. Most have two levels, so expect stairs.

19 rentals · avg $425/nt

Garden condos, mostly one-bedrooms, along koi-filled Waikomo Stream, an easy walk to the Shops at Kukui'ula and down the street from kid-friendly Baby Beach. None have ocean views, AC is spottier than elsewhere in Poipu, and bullfrogs sing at night.

See 19 rentals Building guide
Whalers Cove, Poipu 4.818 oceanfront rentals

Whalers Cove

10 rentals · avg $1,025/nt

Poipu's quiet luxury choice: big two-bedrooms on the rocks at Koloa Landing, a heated oceanfront pool and hot tub, and turtles, dolphins and winter whales from the lanai. Kukuiula's shops are a short walk; most units rely on breezes, not AC.

See 10 rentals Building guide
Poipu Shores, Poipu 4.7924 oceanfront rentals

Poipu Shores

24 rentals · avg $855/nt

Every unit is oceanfront on a lava outcrop where waves explode beside a pool built into the rocks, and sea turtles feed just below. The surf is loud at night - light sleepers should take a back bedroom. Brennecke's Beach is a five-minute walk.

See 24 rentals Building guide
Makahuena, Poipu 4.785 oceanfront rentals

Makahuena

34 rentals · avg $660/nt

Kauai's southernmost condo resort, on the cliffs of Makahuena Point with a pool, hot tub, tennis and pickleball. Only the front row hangs over the turtle cove and its small blowhole; garden units cost much less. No elevators, so expect stairs.

Kahala at Poipu Kai, Poipu 4.77

Kahala at Poipu Kai

28 rentals · avg $583/nt

One of Poipu's best values: roomy 900 to 1,200 sq ft condos, mostly one-bedrooms, with two pools and a hot tub, a 5-minute greenbelt stroll from Poipu and Brennecke's beaches. AC is scarcer than elsewhere in Poipu; upstairs units ventilate best.

See 35 rentals Building guide
Sunset Kahili, Poipu 4.77

Sunset Kahili

14 rentals · avg $477/nt

A rare five-story building from before Kauai's height limits, so most of its one-bedroom condos and even the pool look out to sea. Brennecke's and Poipu Beach are within walking distance; most units rely on fans, and quiet hours are strict.

See 14 rentals Building guide
Manualoha at Poipu Kai, Poipu 4.73

Manualoha at Poipu Kai

30 rentals · avg $830/nt

Technically the closest condos to Brennecke's Beach, with an ocean-view pool about 100 yards from the sand and a second pool nearby. Units are big (1,000 to 1,700 sq ft), but upstairs lofts can run hot in the afternoon, so check AC coverage.

13 resorts · 381 rentals · avg $573/nt

A resort community on the cliffs above Hanalei Bay and the base for the North Shore's beaches and Hanalei town. Only a few complexes can walk to a beach, and winter brings more rain and big surf. Explore Princeville ›

Emmalani Court

15 rentals · avg $469/nt

The only golf course complex within walking distance of Hideaways Beach, and every unit has AC. Mostly roomy two-bedrooms beside the Makai course; the bluff for Bali Hai sunsets is a few minutes' walk, but the trail down to Hideaways is steep.

18 rentals · avg $617/nt

34 rentals · avg $614/nt

Villas of Kamalii

21 rentals · avg $592/nt

Puu Poa, Princeville 4.8525 oceanfront rentals

Puu Poa

30 rentals · avg $870/nt

Princeville's most luxurious condos, nearly all oceanfront, on the point beside 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. A steep 3-minute trail drops to Hideaways Beach, and the April-September sunsets over Bali Hai are the best on Kauai; no elevators, so expect stairs.

Hanalei Bay Resort, Princeville 4.83

Hanalei Bay Resort

47 rentals · avg $729/nt

Our top pick for families: terraced down the hillside above Puu Poa Beach, with pools, tennis courts and AC in nearly every unit. The paved path to the sand is easy but steep, about 5 minutes, and a golf cart shuttle saves the climb back up.

See 47 rentals Building guide
Hale Moi, Princeville 4.82

Hale Moi

4 rentals · avg $431/nt

Small and low-key, with lush mountain views instead of ocean, across the street from the sunset lookout above Hideaways Beach. Rentals have AC, unlike much of Princeville, but many sleep in lofts up a steep ladder or spiral stair.

Pali Ke Kua, Princeville 4.7931 oceanfront rentals

Pali Ke Kua

55 rentals · avg $585/nt

The Cliffs, Princeville 4.75

The Cliffs

27 rentals · avg $469/nt

Partly a timeshare, with plenty of owner rentals: roomy one- to four-bedroom condos on the cliff top, with waterfall pools and Adirondack chairs on the bluff for sunset. Suits groups and bigger families; no walkable beach, and most units rely on fans.

See 27 rentals Building guide
Sealodge, Princeville 4.7418 oceanfront rentals

Sealodge

27 rentals · avg $461/nt

Most units are oceanfront, at some of the lowest rates on the bluff; few have AC, so trade winds and fans do the cooling. A steep trail leads down to little Sealodge Beach - fine for summer snorkeling at high tide, but not a swimming beach.

See 27 rentals Building guide

03Kapaa CondosEast Side

5 resorts · 253 rentals · avg $561/nt

Kauai Kailani, Kapaa 4.80

Kauai Kailani

29 rentals · avg $418/nt

A low-key oceanfront complex in Waipouli with two small pools, and Safeway, coffee, shave ice and restaurants across the street - one of the best values on the coast. The rocky shore out front is for sunrise and tide pools, not swimming.

Pono Kai

34 rentals · avg $475/nt

Oceanfront at the edge of old Kapaa, right on the coastal path, with a pool, hot tub, tennis, pickleball and hammocks. Catch sunrise from the lanai, then walk to the food trucks and cafes in town; the beach out front suits strolls more than swimming.

25 rentals · avg $410/nt

Kauai Beach Villas, Wailua 4.67

Kauai Beach Villas

11 rentals · avg $478/nt

Mostly one-bedroom villas between Lihue and Kapaa, a short walk from a 3-mile beach, sharing the pools, waterslide and hot tubs of Kauai Beach Resort next door. The sand suits sunrise walks, not swimming; few units see the ocean, but nearly all have AC.
