The accommodation was perfect for us. It was spacious with a lovely lanai that looked out on the green belt. The unit was well equipped. The manager was very responsive to all of our needs. We hope to be back before long.

This was the perfect base for our first trip to Kauai. In beautiful Poipu just a short walk to the beaches and restaurants. Very well stocked with everything we needed from spices to towels and beach gear and everything in between.
Loved the upstairs lanai for breakfast and sunsets and the main floor one for a shady spot to plan the day.
The Manualoha pool is perfect. Shade, grass, sun and ocean views. A couple times we had it all to ourselves but also met great people there.
Don’t think twice. Book it!
A suggestion to the owners to put in a new lock box. We struggled with it a bit, otherwise everything was great.

The location was perfect! So nice to be able to walk to the pool and beach and restaurants. The property management was extremely helpful and provided everything we needed for our baby so we didn’t have to bring extra luggage (e.g., high chair, pack n play). The condo was really cute and very roomy. The internet was spotty and we did not use the tv because it wasn’t connected to the internet so it wasn’t usable (no big deal). The only down side to our stay was the heat. I didn’t realize that the condo did not have central a/c- just a (very powerful) a/c unit in the bedroom. The bedroom stayed cool, but the rest of the condo was always hot because there is no cross breeze in that sheltered part of the building. Overall a wonderful first vacation with our baby. Thank you!

Love the location of this property! 4 mins from the beach and pool. Tennis courts and pickleball across the parking lot. Restaurants and shopping very close, walkable. The condo is very clean, with updated bathrooms and kitchen. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, big fridge... A few comments and why I only gave it 4 stars. We had inconsistent WIFI, sometimes in the middle of a program we would lose it. No A/C. During the day it was fine, I love the warmth. But, the bedroom doesn't really have any air movement in it. The windows are old and vent at the bottom with no cross breeze. Thank goodness they have 3 fans, we used them all. They also have ceiling fans in every room. It might be worth buying a separate A/C unit for the bedroom...

Hair dryer was not as I was told. No response when I called to ask about a notice I received from security due to having to leave the doors open at night for air.

Lovely furnishings and just enough to prep meals in the kitchen. Would stay here again for sure, as long as I can navigate the stairs in and out of this second/third story unit. Thank you!

We were so pleased with our stay at Poipu Kai Resort. The condo was very roomy for the six of us (4 adults and 2 kids ages 6 and 9). We were convenient to Poipu Beach (5 -8 minute walk depending on who you were walking with). Loved seeing the sea turtles at 5:30 AM and 7:30 PM. Volunteers were so informative about answering our questions. The pool was about a 3 minute walk. Pool key was in a bowl on the entry table. We used the key for the pool overlooking the ocean and the black fob for the pool with the hot tub. The boys enjoyed the upstairs bunkbeds and the outside lanai was the perfect place for Nana to help guide schoolwork. The kitchen table AND the outdoor lanai table were both large and roomy for the meals we cooked at home. Gas grills outside on the property were very convenient as well. We had a couple of questions and when we contacted Heather, the property manager, we received almost immediate contact from her. We did shop at Costco and Walmart for essentials. Visited the north side of the island and lucked out with no rain. Lots of rain on the day we checked out Waimea Canyon, but it was still beautiful. Poipu Kai is the perfect "in-between" place to stay. We also toured Koloa Rum in Lihue. The Sweet Shop should not be missed. It is behind the Rum shop. Loved our stay in Kauai and we would stay here again.

This was a nice place to stay in a very nice area on Kauai. We book this with less than a week before check-in as we were originally scheduled to go to Maui but switched to Kauai due to the wildfires.We did not spend much time at all in the condo. Maybe we would have spent more time there if it was more comfortable. But the lack of air conditioning made it impossible to be inside any more than completely necessary. The complex is very nice with a great pool and access to a couple of nice beaches. There are some nice restaurants in the area as well. We did our best to explore as much of the island as possible.The upstairs master bedroom is great. We did not use the air conditioner at night and just kept the doors open. The breeze that goes through there kept it quite comfortable. We did have to jam something into each screen door to keep them from snapping back and forth. Both of these doors should be replaced.The downstairs bedroom is rough due to the lack of air conditioning. You would need to be really tolerant of heat to sleep there. This bedroom was used by our two children the first night, but it was so hot we just had them sleep upstairs in our bedroom the remaining nights, which really defeated the purpose of getting a rental condo with multiple bedrooms.

The vacation rental is in a great location with walking distance to beaches with access to swimming pools, etc. The kitchen was sufficient to use for breakfast and light meals. The portal A/C was cool enough but could be colder. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the rental. The biggest negative was that this unit was advertised with 3 working bathrooms. The primary bedroom shower did not work. There was a workaround but from communication with management, some renters previously could operate the workaround to get the shower working, and some could not. After a few days of going back and forth, management finally sent out maintenance to look at the shower. Maintenance said they will have to come back to fix and the drain had an issue as well. From a previous review in June/July, the reviewer also said they had drain issues in the same bathroom. So I paid for 3 bathroom house but we had to squeeze everyone into the 2 smaller showers the whole time we were there. So this I am not happy about.

This was a lovely clean condo in a beautifully landscaped resort with several swimming pools and easy access to the shore.

The property was everything we expected from the listing and more! The location is perfect for exploring the island or staying locally. Poipu beach is an easy walk even with an 80 yr. old and a toddler. The property had everything we needed and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It include free access to the Poipu Beach Club where we spent 3 days. The club has a great pool with a water slide and a restaurant with poolside service. Michael the host was very responsive to my questions and arrival was easy, no check-in office, we went straight to the front door and entered with an access code. Parking is steps from the condo so no lugging suitcases. Our visit could not have been better! Thank you Michael!

We like the area, we have stayed in the Poipu area for 11 vacations. The downstairs bedroom does not benefit much from the trade winds as much as the upstairs master bedroom. The provided fan helped out but it is loud.
We ate out on the patio everyday. My grandaughter was either in the ocean or in the pool. Poipu beach is about a 5 or so minute walk

The property is beautiful. Loved morning coffee on the lanais watching the waves. The unit is very clean and spacious. The portable ac unit in the living room was a plus.

This is a very cute condo, older but well-maintained. Ample room for our family and we enjoyed the parents-retreat upstairs while the kids slept downstairs.
It is walking distance to the beach, but we chose to drive most of the time. Good street access too so we could explore the island easily.
It's not obvious from the listing, but this condo does NOT have A/C (like most places on the island). It is well-ventilated and has ceiling fans throughout. Just in case that's something future renters would like to know.
Also, we had a roll-out bed for our third child, but there isn't room in the bedroom for it, so that kid slept in the living room. No big deal, but again a detail that's helpful if you have adults or need more privacy.
We would totally rent this place again.

Aloha. After a very long day of travel, opening the front door was welcoming. Everything was as mentioned in the description. This unit has it all! Fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed and spacious closet. We needed to utilize the sofa bed and it was equally comfortable. Well stocked "toy" closet with beach items, game, puzzles and books. The lanei is pretty private for catching some sunshine.The grounds are beautiful and the view from the pool was incredible. Overall incredible stay. Mahalo.

Generally speaking it's a decent place and very clean. It is outdated though. Our biggest complaint was lack of AC. AC Unit on second floor does nothing to help cooling the living space on a 1st floor and honestly it's not needed on there but downstairs. It was extremely hot during the day and no breeze. Mgmt co. told us to go outside for a walk or a restaurant and come back when it cools off ....funny.

Our family of 4 loved our stay here. It’s just minutes walk to Brennecke’s beach where people body surf & boogie board. If you enjoy early morning walks/ jogs, there is a lovely trail on a bluff to Shipwreck beach. We saw many green sea turtles in the area which is a special sighting. The area is full of happy (sunburned) tourists, condos and plenty of restaurants and beaches to delight!

Walking distance to the beach and eating areas. Close to the zip lining location which is I why I chose this for our family to stay at. Happy they had floor fans as well as ceiling fans. The goodies was a nice surprise! Will definitely stay here again!
August 2023
Our family had a wonderful time staying here. Great location, steps from Brennecke’s beach where our boys had a blast boogie boarding. The house is well stocked with kitchen amenities and tons of beach gear. We felt very at home. Beautiful views from the lanais. A few things need some attention: sliding glass door was so difficult to open and close for ventilation and security. Also, we didn’t use the upstairs much because it was so hot at night, being midsummer. The 2 ac units downstairs were great and thankfully there was a queen pull out bed the boys could use instead of the twin beds upstairs, but the separate beds upstairs were one of the reasons I booked here. There is a second pull out downstairs but we couldn’t get it out. So, a few frustrations that are fixable, but a gem of a place otherwise. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Greatly enjoyed our stay! Unit was a perfect size for 4 and two bathrooms with 2 young adults was a bonus. We had most kitchen supplies needed and the freezer produced ample ice (needed for all the frozen drinks by the pool!). Unit was the farthest away from the pool BUT it actually is a very short, enjoyable walk so no issues with pool access. Pool was always a nice warm temp. The 'pool guard' that comes around should be a little more leinient on allowing you to at least skip a ball in the water when noone else but your group is around :). Perfect location right next to Brenneck Beach - GREAT for snorkelling off to the left (always many turtles) and amazing for bodyboarding!! Also close to the other beaches (Poipu Beach) and resorts, so this is a nice morning walk to see the beached turtles and monk seal.
The only recommendations for improvement would be: (1) install a mini-split air conditioner. The main area is not very comfortable during the day or sleeping at night and it is only a small $2k investment (and no you don't get cool breezes that compensate). The main bedroom has a floorstanding A/C which needs to be on all the time just to keep that one room cool.
(2). Fix the sliding door out to the lanai. We had to constantly be gentle and play with it to ensure it closes / opens properly (also a security risk); although we felt safe always and the grounds staff provided ample security and let us know when/if the door was open.
Thanks! We WILL be back!

Fantastic location, exactly as described! But…Master bath shower was entirely clogged and essentially out of commission (3-5 min shower until basin would overflow into floor). Alerted management immediately the first evening within 2 hours of arrival. Five days later, after additional requests to address the problem, it was not addressed and there was zero communication about the problem for the last two days. Master bath AC control panel did not work, so limited to one pre-set setting (freezing and waste of electricity). Washer ruined first set of laundry due to extreme mold smell. We used bleach to try to clean it out so we could keep using it. Has potential to be a five star experience as advertised but needs a little more attention from management to get there.

Very disappointed. We were not told when we booked that it was 14 steps up to the front door and once inside 14 steps up to the kitchen. I am 87 years old and my daughter is 67. My daughter carried all the suitcases up to the apartment. We could not use the kitchen because it was on the third floor and I couldn’t go up there. We ate out every day. We asked the manager to get us a one level and she said she would try. I didn’t hear from her. We did not use the third floor. It was a deterrent to our vacation.

This was a lovely condo with great, organized amenities, including beach use items. Grill was a few steps from the back patio. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and dining. Towels were plentiful. Air conditioners were great in bedrooms. Main part of house was a tad warm late afternoon without air conditioning, but we managed. The location was a nice stroll to several beautiful beaches, but pack a lunch or snacks because it's far enough that our group didn't want to just pop home to make a sandwich. Beds were plenty comfortable. We texted the property manager due to a slow drain in one shower and BOOM- someone was there the very next morning to snake it. The service was very impressive. We'd go there again for sure!

This condo is well maintained and perfectly located. Our favorite beaches of the vacation were right here, just a few minutes walk. One beach was a little rougher and good for body surfing and boogie boarding. We saved that one for low tide. Further down the beach was a calm cove and even further down a calmer beach that still had some waves to play in and fish to see with snorkel gear. Brenneke's is right here and a great spot for food and snacks. There is also a surf shop right here to rent or buy gear. However, the condo was equiped with everything we needed for the beach: chairs, boogie boards, mats, toys, snorkel gear, cooler and an intertube floatie. The condo itself was plently large and comfortable for 6 people. The downstairs location made it convenient to hose off all sand before entering condo. Any sand that was missed could be easily vacuumed up before being tracked into bedrooms. Washer and dryer were available so we packed light. We stopped at Costco on the way in to get some staples but previous renters had left paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, sunscreen, bug spray. We were pleasantly surprised it was not buggy here much at all, except for a hike we took inland. Having a kitchen allowed us to eat breakfast and lunch at the condo and save money for nice dinners. We would definitely stay here, again. Best spot on the island and very clean and spacious.

First of all to be FAIR…this condo by owner is well appointed, great location, and kitchen fully stocked. Now for the MANAGEMENT side. Vacasa did a minus ONE star job and the owner should consider changing companies! No dishwasher, tiny refridge (big one not working…lost tons of food due to it only cooling to 50 degrees. Dishwasher would not start. So did dishes on my vacation!! YAY! The worst was: after nearly 15 outreaches to Vacasa…turned out the woman in charge of “that part of the island” went on VACATION and then there was NO ONE taking up her job! I was pissed!! Appliance and MANAGEMENT upgrade truly needed.

We arrived after a long flight, HNL/LIH cancelled, a non friendly experience at Dollar Car Rental. To wake up in the condo with a flat tire. After resolved will the car rental, came back to the condo to no hot water. 3 teens, no showers, dishes cleaned or clothes washed. "Someone" told us to go to the Athletic club to shower. (Obviously didn't know our back story). The water heater was replaced after crew spent extra time to find the problem. Hot water the next day! Yay!. Loved the view, beach, sea turtles, monk seals and condo stray cat. We would visit again and suggest Manualoha to friends. In town, Hilo Hatties was not the same. Customer service not great. Food at Brennecks(sp) not great. Aloha spirit seems gone!

We were extremely happy with our stay! It was very clean when we arrived. The pool is an extremely short walk from the lanai. You can see the ocean from the pool which is another very short walk away. There are multiple beaches walking distance or a couple minute drive from this location. There are also multiple shopping centers in the area. If you are staying with littles, you should know there are two steps in the lanai. Our 10 month old is familiar with stairs so we didn’t have any issues! The bedroom stayed pretty cool with the fan on and blinds shut! We will definitely be back!

Gorgeous property, with an easy 10 minute walk to the beach. Welcome goodies were a thoughtful and delicious touch. The master bedroom is a loft, open to the downstairs, allows you to hear the kids on the sofa bed talking at night when they should be sleeping 😉. Not a criticism, but the only spices available are salt and pepper, so bring what you need. We really enjoyed sitting on one of the 3 lanais, especially in the evening. Very comfortable.

The property is conveniently located, clean, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had trouble figuring out the TV remotes.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. The location in Poipu/Koloa was ideal. Plenty of fun restaurants and stores very near by (even a fresh fruit stand within walking distance to stock up). Just a very short walk to an amazing beach, with all the essentials you may need right in the closet - chairs, umbrella, snorkels, fins, boogie boards and even a cooler. Condo was clean and beds were comfortable. All soaps, shampoos, lotions and cleaning and paper supplies were stocked. Never missed the A/C, as the trade winds brought fresh air (with the provided fans) and bird songs inside. The Britta water filter was a welcome addition to fill water bottles before heading out for the day. Would absolutely return to this home away from home!

My husband and I were looking for a comfortable place to stay for our visit to Kaua’i. This place was perfect - a short walk to beach, beautiful apartment, lovely surroundings. Very quiet in the evening and at night, you can hear the surf and the night sounds. Could not have asked for a better spot. Close to everything, but not busy. Chris was an awesome host, responded to all questions quickly and was able to accommodate our request for an extra day with no fuss. Five stars!!

It was our first time to any Hawaiian island and the condo is perfect- very big, great light, modern amenities, great location, quiet. Walkable and beautifully maintained.

My family and my sister's family of 4 Adults and 4 kids had a great time staying here! Great accomodations for this group, private bathrooms for both couples and the kids upstairs made for quiet nights for the adults! Kitchen is stocked, plenty of seating inside and out. We enjoyed using the chairs and umbrellas and boogie boards provided. The condo pool has and incredible view of the beach and we had a lot of fun in the Poipu Beach Club pool, especially the waterslide! Great communication with the owner and property manager!

We arrived after a long flight, HNL/LIH cancelled, a non friendly experience at Dollar Car Rental. To wake up in the condo with a flat tire. After resolved will the car rental, came back to the condo to no hot water. 3 teens, no showers, dishes cleaned or clothes washed. "Someone" told us to go to the Athletic club to shower. (Obviously didn't know our back story). The water heater was replaced after crew spent extra time to find the problem. Hot water the next day! Yay!. Loved the view, beach, sea turtles, monk seals and condo stray cat. We would visit again and suggest Manualoha to friends. In town, Hilo Hatties was not the same. Customer service not great. Food at Brennecks(sp) not great. Aloha spirit seems gone!

Our group of four adults had a great week! The condo is spacious and comfortable. Beds very comfortable. The location is perfect for walking to the beach and walking to both Kalapaki Joe’s and Brenneke Beach Broiler for dinner. We spent time at the pool overlooking the ocean every day. Check in was super easy and we had zero complaints in renting this place. Would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much Lynn and Marshall. Your rental home is beautiful, and so comfortable. It was well equipped. The location great. We loved every moment in Kauai. We were worried there was no air conditioning in the condo but that wasn’t an issue. Ceiling fans and the trade winds made it comfortable. Thank you again for great stay and also the info for recommendations for places to visit etc. We would love to visit again. From friends from central Canada from the province of Manitoba and from Northern Canada the Yukon

The equipment room had an odor from beach chairs that had been put away wet. Maintenance came and removed the mildewed items and replaced the chairs. Also the snorkel gear was lacking the snorkel. Had problems with a rodent in the unit but the maintenance crew again was quick to help. The welcoming bottle of wine was a nice touch but I wished there would have been some seasoning and a larger skillet of wok.

We loved this place. The apt was in the garage which sat away from the house. Nice little table outside with beautiful landscaping and view of the ocean. The apt is small but wonderful bathroom and comfy bed. Perfect place outside of Hilo in the country.

We couldn’t imagine a more perfect location- we loved hearing the sound of the ocean, as well as watching magnificent sunsets and whales from the upper lanai. We could walk to multiple beaches each day and still come home for lunch and a break from the sun in the middle of the day because the ocean is so close! Both the pools were enjoyed by our kids- if one was busy it was nice to be able to use the other. We had great communication with our hosts, John and Aana, which was fortunate when the fridge stopped working. They responded right away and despite the difficulty of getting a repairman or a replacement, they saved the day by sending us a generous gift certificate to Brennecke’s Restaurant for the evening I had planned to prepare a special meal for our newly engaged son and his fiancée (as our big Costco grocery stash was going bad and I was uncertain if it was ok to eat). The fridge issue was not easy to resolve but eventually we were able to borrow a small fridge from friends in the area so we could keep bare essentials cold. John and Aana agreed to refund us a substantial portion of our cost, which eased our frustration at the fridge situation. We are so thankful to have been able to stay here, and highly recommend John and Aana as hosts. A drying rack for all the wet suits and towels and some better fitting screens in the windows would make it even better. Thank you John and Aana for your kindness in sharing your special place with our family.

I love Kauai, it’s a beautiful place and the people are incredible. I was disappointed in the condo. The first day there my kids saw a cockroach in the kitchen and it was big, I would say the size of a mouse. We named him Mickey and only saw four other times. I’m sure cockroaches are common in Kauai, but these were the largest I have ever seen. Also one of the reasons we rented a condo was to do laundry and it was broken , they did offer a laundry service but that just not very convenient. And be aware that the A/C is a portable unit in the master bedroom only. We went in March so we never needed it but if it was hot out the upstairs bedroom (a loft closed off to be a bedroom) would be very hot
