What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 431 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.

Poipu Kapili delivers a classic, low‑key oceanfront stay with knockout views. Guests rave about watching sunsets, whales and sea turtles from lanais or the seawall, and love the easy walk to Kiahuna/Sheraton and Poipu beaches, plus nearby shops and restaurants at Kukui‘ula and Poipu Shopping Village. The plantation‑style grounds, tidy pool, and peaceful vibe make it feel uncrowded and relaxing—many reviewers are repeat visitors who use it as a convenient base to explore the island.

Condos are consistently described as spacious, very clean, and well stocked. Expect thoughtfully equipped kitchens, beach gear (chairs, towels, coolers; often boogie boards/snorkel), comfortable beds, and easy check‑in with responsive, detail‑oriented hosts. Many units have lovely ocean views and breezy lanais; several note games, movies, grills, and access to tennis/pickleball. Families and couples alike called it comfortable and quiet, with assigned parking and clear owner communication.

Common considerations: most units do not have central A/C; cooling is often bedroom‑only or portable units, so living areas can feel warm in late afternoons (cross‑breezes help), and some thermostats have HOA limits. The seawall across the road is a popular sunset spot; while usually respectful and brief, a few nights can bring car noise before quiet hours. There’s no sandy beach directly in front (it’s lava rock), so plan a short walk to nearby beaches. Tropical pests or minor maintenance hiccups pop up occasionally but management/owners are generally quick to respond. If specifics matter, ask your host about A/C setup, stairs, laundry location, and any recent updates for the exact unit you’re booking.

I loved this location so much! We sat on the balcony watching the ocean every morning and night because the view was just amazing! Also really appreciated the AC unit in the rooms! We will be back again to enjoy this place for sure! Thanks for having us! :)

We are repeat customers and appreciate the amenities the unit has to offer. Great view, wonderful cross breeze and everything we need to make our stay enjoyable.(BTW - love the washer/dryer unit!)

Pros:-Beautiful location: cannot be overstated how pretty-Close to diving, snorkeling, restaurants-Well maintained: Excellent, professional property management; very responsive to issues-Good pool-Helpful on-site LaundryCons:-AC (a couple of bedroom units) simply insufficient during the arrival/day/evening. You *will* be suffering.-No heating at night (and it can get quite cool)-Loud noise from people stopped/camped/partying on road nightly (see pro bullet 1: it’s very pretty). Ocean is also kind of loud, but that didn’t bother us as it’s pleasant white noise. -Bizarre louver system on all windows. Yes, theoretically it’s possible (if annoying) to crank these open and closed throughout the day to manage temperature. But at these prices in 2025, I’d expect central environment control.

The location was beautiful- wish we were staying here longer!

Our family had a wonderful time during our recent stay here. The location is excellent and makes accessing local beaches and restaurants easy. The unit was clean and well stocked with beach equipment (boogie boards, beach chairs, towels, cooler, umbrella- no snorkels/masks/fins, though you’re better off renting the right size from one of the local shops). The kitchen is well appointed with cookware, but you will need to purchase any oil, spices. Lots of games, movies for relaxing evenings with family. AC in every room was great to take the edge off the humidity. We will definitely consider returning here on a future visit to Kauai.

Everything is provided from a complete kitchen to beach chairs and goggles to nice towels and bedding. Compared to some rentals equipped with the minimum, this is a home actively used by the owners who are folks with high standards. Everything is ’perfectly maintained and works. The condo is in a serene complex with lovely grounds. Don’t bring your party aspirations, you’d be out of place in this wonderful retreat. We had a great week and used this location to explore all parts of glorious Kauai.

We just spent 5 wonderful days in this property. Everything was as good or better than our expectations from the photos. The neighborhood was excellent - an easy walk to a great beach and many restaurants. The bed was comfortable and I tend to be fussy about beds. The breezes flow directly through the condo, and the ac works well in the bedroom. We slept very soundly. I would definitely book again if we come back. Amy and Jerry were lovely hosts.

It was overall very nice and worked very well for our family. It wasn't over the top fancy but was very nice and comfortable, well laid out, well equipped and great pools/grounds. The location is the best. You will not be disappointed!

We love staying at Poipu Kapili, it never disappoints. This condo was great, with a spectacular view. We walked to the Sheraton almost every day. The condo was very clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook.

The room was very comfortable and a bit larger than I expected, and communication with property owners was very easy and they responded very quickly. View was amazing, close/ walking distance to both outdoor malls, restaurants, and beaches. We usually book the Marriott, but they are so overpriced now. I am glad we found this place. Worth ever penny, much more reasonably priced and honestly more comfortable. Thank you!

The spacious property had everything we needed. Was nicely decorated and comfortable. The pool and grounds were well taken care of and very pretty. The view of the ocean was beautiful from this unit. The homeowners were great in that they corresponded ahead of time with information about activities to do and links for reservations. Also had a wonderful book with more information upon arrival.

Great oceanfront location close to everything. Very nice, large property, as advertised. Super views! Easy check-in and out. Nice quiet family resort setting. Some minor deferred maintenance but overall an excellent property in an excellent location. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Everything was wonderful. The location was great. Our condo was steps to the ocean and even fewer steps to the pool. Everything you need was in the condo. We prepared our dinners in the condo and charcoal and gas grills were available. The whole complex was very well maintained. If you like beaches thereis one a very short distance. A Costco is on rhe way from the airport. Also a Safeway. Loved this condo. Everything was great.

This condo exceeded our expectations! It was impeccably clean, felt brand new, and had ample space for myself, my husband, our 4 year old, and our nanny. The location is completely epic, right in the center of Poipu and walking distance to multiple shops, restaurants, the Poipu Athletic Club for drop-in classes, and of course the beach. The views are absolutely stunning, and the pool was great. The check-in process was smooth and easy, and we really appreciated that all we had to do when we left was load and start the dish washer and remove the trash. No stripping beds, starting the washer, etc. It made our departure much easier. Thank you thank you thank you Kevin and Belle for a wonderful stay! We will be back.

Me and my family had such a fun vacation to Kauai! This condo with an ocean front view is absolutely stunning! Great location to walk to the perfect family beach, and a short walk to the shopping center and for a new coffee shop each day. We really enjoyed that the condo was stocked with the basic necessities like everything you need to cook, spices, cooking oil, we did a lot of laundry so it was so convient to have a washer and dryer in the unit! we were also really excited to find a wagon, 4 Tommy Bahama chairs, an umbrella and pickle ball/tennis racks! AND a cooler!!!Really everything you need to enjoy the beach! The pool is also very close and my toddlers enjoyed it very much! We did find two cockroaches in the unit during our stay, one in the bathroom sink, and one crawling across the kitchen floor. Otherwise, it was very clean. Check in process was smooth, the host sent clear instructions with directions, codes to access all the amenities and they even had a concierge directly text me offering local recommendations for things to do and places to eat! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this condo ocean view to others! Loved getting to wake up and look right out at the ocean, skyline. The unit has AC which was nice, although in the upstairs oceanview bedroom the AC vent in the ceiling had a slow drip onto the floor due to condensation. Unsure if this is normal or not. It really wasn’t a problem for us tho! Overall 10 stars!!

We loved our stay. It was our first time back to Kauai in 35 years, and it lived up to the memory! The condo was conveniently located; close to beaches, restaurants and other activities, yet was quiet and serene. We loved having our morning coffee on the lanai, watching the sunrise and sunset, walking down to Poipu Beach, seeing sea turtles, Monk seals and even breaching whales. The unit was very clean and well-equipped, from the kitchen to the coolers, beach chairs and umbrellas. Our hosts were very attentive to details (they thought of everything!) and were easy to communicate with. We feel so fortunate that Amy and Jerry shared their island home with us! We hope to be able to come back soon! I would highly recommend staying here!

Great condo and superb location. Spotless, well appointed and tastefully decorated throughout. Modern and confortable. Best location, IMO. Owner communication was great before and after visit. Coming back next Spring for sure.

We really enjoyed the location, having close dedicated parking space and easy access to the pool as well as beach and pool towels, umbrellas, fans and AC in the bedroom but the cross breeze in April was amazing!. We loved being able to walk to multiple beaches, restaurants and more. We will definitely be back!!

This place was spacious, clean, conveniently located and the property management could not have been nicer to work with. The complex felt private and quiet and not over crowded at all, but also right next to everything. Highly recommend!

This property is the best unit in the best property on south shore! Kiahuna beach is the steps away and was our favorite beach- swimming and snorkeling. The property managers were clear with communication and swiftly addressed a minor issue without interfering with our stay. One note- the daybed in the guest room didn't seem to be a full size twin. Perfect for our kid but an adult wouldn't be pleased. Thanks for a memorable stay!

We loved condo 30- it was beautifully furnished Hawaiian style. It was immaculate and ready for us when we arrived-complete with Island music. The location couldn't have been better. We have stayed at several places in Kauai and this was by far the best! Thank you for a perfect stay.
Jolene C.
February 2025

Overall, we had a great experience with the condo itself. Condition was good and well kept. The views of the ocean were great, and it was easy walking distance to a nice beach with swimming. During our stay it seemed like the complex was largely for older couples so just something to keep in mind if you are traveling with kids - our kids had more fun at the beach vs the pool as a result. My only issue with the condo and the reason I would not stay here again is that a road runs in front of the unit which impacted the experience for us. There was a pretty consistent stream of cars and people walking on the road. There was not excessive noise so while this is probably fine for many, I prefer a quieter, more private experience so the road was not ideal. Overall, though, a really good experience.
