What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Pili Mai at Poipu earns strong praise for its relaxed, residential vibe in a beautifully landscaped golf‑course setting. Guests love the convenient south‑shore location—usually a 10–20 minute walk or quick 3–5 minute drive to Poipu/Kiahuna/Shipwreck beaches, coffee, dining, and shops—making it an easy home base for exploring Kauai. The on‑site pool, hot tub, small gym, and communal grills are well liked, and many reviewers highlighted quiet evenings and sunrise/sunset coffees on the lanai with mountain, golf course, and occasional distant ocean views.

Condos are consistently described as spacious, modern, and well equipped—especially for families and groups. The popular 3 bed/3 bath (and some 4BR) layouts provide excellent privacy, beds are generally comfortable, and most units include central A/C with ceiling fans, in‑unit washer/dryer, and generously stocked kitchens. Many homes come with thoughtful extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, pack ’n plays, and high chairs; welcome baskets and responsive hosts were frequently mentioned. Overall cleanliness and upkeep are rated highly across the community.

Common caveats to know: several reviewers noted A/C policies that cap the minimum temp (often around 72–74°F) and occasional uneven cooling in multi‑level units; portable units are sometimes provided when needed. Floors between levels can transmit footsteps, so downstairs units may hear upstairs neighbors. Garages and assigned parking can be tight for large SUVs, and some upper condos require stairs. As with most tropical locales, occasional bugs pop up, and a handful of guests cited periodic cleaning or maintenance hiccups, though managers typically respond quickly. Pool water can feel cool, and basic pantry items/condiments aren’t guaranteed. If sensitive to noise, consider an upper unit; if mobility or parking is a concern, opt for ground‑floor and a smaller vehicle. Despite these notes, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Let's start with the positives. Location, AWESOME! Condo layout, great. Pool, nice. Clean sheets and working appliances, YES! But it wouldn't be fair to the property managers and travelers to not give the reasons why this is rated so low. Clean sheets and towels are where it ended as far as the cleanliness. The property is beautiful and even when we first entered the condo, it seemed nice. Once we started using the condo we found lots of reasons to ask for our cleaning fee back (it was graciously denied). Food left, dusty, spills on the floor and walls (one under the toilet paper holder, yuck), and broken items (shades, drawers, toilet seat) They do seem like they are fixing things, they fixed the rotted outside railings while we were there and came and fixed the toilet seat within two days. I don't mind well used at all, but the place needs to be clean.Then the chickens. We have visited Kauai seven times and have never been kept up from the roosters. Timmy, roosts in the tree outside the bedroom and wakes up everyday between 3:00-4:00 a.m. and does not stop until mid morning when he moves about the property. This is EVERYDAY. Not ideal when you are trying to have a restful vacation. Seriously, chicken napping was considered. I have never given such a low review, but when a client let's you know that the property details don't match what it presented online, you make it right. That way I know that you will do better for the next guest. Hope this was helpful.

After a little confusion on my part, our stay was amazing. Our host welcomed us with amazing little gifts to try from the island, that was a nice surprise. The home was very clean and close to everything. I would highly recommend this home.

Beautiful, spacious condo in an excellent Koloa location. The unit was very quiet, spotlessly clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed. We especially appreciated the abundance of extra blankets and pillows, as well as both bath and beach towels. In many places we’ve stayed, only one towel per person was provided, including for the beach, but that was not the case here, which was a huge plus. It’s an easy 10-minute walk to restaurants and Starbucks, and about a 15-minute walk to stunning beaches. The host’s communication was excellent. Friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. I highly recommend this condo and would absolutely stay here again. 10/10!

We loved our stay here! It was a beautiful property and perfect place for our family to stay. Everything was clean and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved the beach equipment in the garage. The location was perfect. Close to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

The condo was about as clean as one could be! Very comfortable furnishings and beautiful decor. It was a lovely stay, so relaxing. I would not hesitate to book again. A few rules, but to be expected for a place to say in tip top condition. It was enjoyable having breakfast on the lanai and sunsets in the evening.

Communication was great throughout our entire stay. The home was clean and a perfect place in Poipu. Pool was a little chilly this time of year, but the hot tub was pretty big and made up for it. The best part was the detached garage - it had everything: boogie boards, beach chairs, sand toys, umbrella, and snorkel gear.

Everything was fine. Couple of things to point out. We told/ texted the manager that when we arrived we saw that the bathroom window in the upstairs bathroom was broken. The large screen door that goes out onto the Lanai continually came off its track and we would put it on. It. Probably needs adjusting of some kind. Otherwise this is the second time we have stayed in this particular unit and we love it!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo has beautiful Bosch appliances, high-end pots, pans and cutlery, slide-out garbages, etc. There is a very functional laundry area with a variety of supplies, including vacuum attachments, a hanging bar, and extra detergent if needed. All of these amenities make a longer condo stay more comfortable since the kitchen is so well-equipped and you don't have to bring as many clothes. The only negative was that while the deck overlooked a beautiful golf course, it was postage-stamp size, and its railing was high enough so that it was a challenge to enjoy the view. Furthermore, the designated parking stall for this property is across the courtyard from the unit and not convenient for hauling groceries and supplies. Questions to the property managers were not answered promptly and maintenance people did not show up when expected.

This was a great VRBO for our family of five. We loved the location- it was quiet, had a great view of the back patio and the location made it easy to explore the south side of the island.

We had a wonderful time and the owner was amazing. She answered all my questions promptly and was so incredibly helpful. We checked out of a place on the other end of the island and had several hours until we could check in here but they allowed us access to the garage and all the beach amenities (which are generous and good quality) and had their housekeeping staff set out towels for us so we could enjoy a beach day. The home is beautiful, clean, updated and well-equipped. I love that all of the bedrooms do not share walls with other bedrooms so we all felt that vacation privacy that we all want ;) The kind upstairs neighbors gave our grandson a bag of chicken feed so we could feed the chickens each day and so we spent a lot of time on the deck being entertained by them (the chickens). We would definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The property was lovely. This unit was right next to the pool and hot tub. The condo itself was well appointed, modern, and well stocked. The only downside was the sofa bed. Be aware it was not very comfortable for two adults to sleep in. The location of the property was perfect. It was a good location as a base to explore the island. Overall, I highly recommend this condo and property. My friends and I had a great stay.

The manager provided prompt customer service and was easy to work with. I would highly recommend this property. The only thing that needs updating is the couch in the living room, a little bigger and firmer cushions would be nice.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo’s kitchen was well equipped with all the cookware we needed to make meals. We used the lanai constantly—beautiful cardinal birds joined us often, which was such a treat. The space was comfortable for everyone, and we appreciated having beach chairs and boogie boards available. It’s a short walk to restaurants and shops, which made everything easy. We loved the place and would absolutely stay here again.

Upsides: Comfortable rooms and beds, located steps from the pool and about a mile from Poipu beach and stores, beach supplies (chairs, snorkels, boogie boards), nice outdoor patio. Nice welcome basket with cookies, nuts and a serving of Kauai coffee.Downsides: hot tub was out of order for the 5 days we stayed and gardening crew at work right outside our patio by 8am. A few extra kitchen condiments/supplies would be helpful (spices, cooking oil) but other than that we were all very comfortable and happy with our stay.

Beautiful property!! Loved the view from the back patio. Nice pool but hot tub out of order. Had everything you could possibly need in the condo. The only issue was cleaning staff could improve. Arrived to makeup on the master bath counter. Toothpaste on the faucet. Obviously did not sweep under the kitchen table or bar stools as there were a lot of crumbs. Would definitely stay again with the hopes that the cleaning staff does a better job next time.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was perfect for our family of six. We each had our own bedroom and two of the masters had their own bathrooms. The condo was in a perfect location very close to the pool and a quick ride to Poipu Beach.The condo had a well stocked kitchen, and the bathrooms had toiletries. It was convenient to have a washer and dryer in the unit. Beach chairs , cooler and sand toys were also supplied. My only minor complaint was that the bathrooms did not seem thoroughly clean and we found an apple core under one of the beds. Overall it was a great place and I would stay here again. Kristen was our contact person and was very responsive to any questions that we had.

The unit is 5 stars, very nice furnishings, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, they even provide beach chairs and bogey boards for the guests. Special thanks to the owners for being excellent hosts!We were disappointed by the property management. We specifically chose a place with a hot tub, because we know that the weather can be unstable in December (it wasn't very warm and rained every day) and my kids won't go in the water if it's too cold. The hot tub was out of order for our whole stay (and had been already for more than a week), we consequently never used the pool which we usually do every day when in Hawaii, They also didn't give us a second parking pass (we reserved for 8 people, so obviously needed a second pass), when we called them about it, they told us that we needed to pick it up at their office. They sent us the wrong address and we spent an hour searching for the place, not exactly how we wanted to start our vacation. The communication was strange, most of the time we would just get automatic messages when we sent a request. Overall, we felt that we didn't get our money's worth because we could have stayed at a cheaper place with no pool and hot tub. They never responded to our request for a partial refund.
