This is one of the nicest properties I have rented. Given location, hosts, etc likely the best rental we have had on vrbo in 15 years. Location is great. If you snorkel, the reef on the West side of Kiahuna Beach is great, you can walk to Poipu, Lawai or Koloa Landing and jump in there and be inside an aquarium. Kiahuna also has fun surf (shore-pound) for body boarding and swimming. You can rent day beads at the Sheraton. At low tide you can walk across the street and check out incredible tidepools (bring your reef shoes). Townhouse itself is in a great little community with a pool, BBQs greenbelts, etc. Rental is stuffed with useful stuff (Beach Towels, Body Wash, Paper products) and we really didnt need much of anything. I bought some Charmin Ultra soft, but i am a TP diva. The views here are perhaps better than the photos. The AC works well. Be sure you follow the directions for the climate control system. They werent set correctly when we arrived and the first few days the temps were wildly inconsistent and likely used more energy than was necessary. Hosts were friendly and helpful at every level. The only small negatives were community related. We had to move our car due to sealing the parking lot, our next door neighbors had a flood of some kind and they had to check our our place and the hoa had to gain access to spray for bugs (in hawaii this is a good thing trust me). I would feel really lucky to be able to rent this place in the future. Thanks!

The condo was very clean with an extremely well equiped kitchen. The grounds and pool area were lovely. The only issue we had ( which really was not a problem for us ) was, being Australians we could not access any of the steaming services so could not watch any movies in the evenings. Having said that, it really was relaxing to sit and read in the comfortable living area, so did not miss the TV.

Absolutely loved this condo! Comfy bed, super clean, everything was provided, and check-in was easy. The VRBO is very quiet, no street noise. We opted for a helicopter tour, atv, mountain tubing, and biked/hiked Waimea Canyon. This location was perfect. Plenty of restaurants nearby to walk to. Would definitely recommend!!

We absolutely loved staying here for our 15th anniversary! The kitchen is very well stocked, the bedroom a/c kept us comfortable at night, and the lanai was our favorite place to sit and watch the ocean in the morning and evening. We loved the easy access to pickleball courts (2 paddles and balls are available), and the beach equipment/coolers were greatly appreciated. Jerry always responded very quickly when I reached out. We were very impressed with how organized and we’ll thought out everything was, and the location was perfect for being able to explore both to the north and to the west.

This charming get-away is spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. A short walk away are green sea turtles sleeping on the beach. The bed was comfortable with a bright yellowed colored pineapples. It was also VERY well stocked. Will look for this place again on our next visit to Kauai.

My wife and I truly enjoyed staying here. This was our first time in Kauai and could not have chosen a better place to stay. Being right next to the ocean was wonderful and having such a short access to beaches around the area was a blessing. This unit was very lovely and provided all the amenities we needed including a nice kitchen for the times we decided to not eat out. Belle was a great host and provided all the pre arrival information we needed to “move right in” when we arrived. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Kauai again I hope we can rent this place again!!

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo! Everything was clean and in working order. When we arrived there were cookies and ground coffee waiting for us. Both bedrooms were large and comfortable and the living area spacious! The pool was wonderful and perfect temperature! The location couldn’t be better - lots of places to walk and lots of great restaurants nearby! Our favorite activity was feeding Tommy every morning - just love him!! Highly recommend this property and would love the opportunity to return!

We were thrilled when we arrived to find the view even more amazing than the photos had depicted. Having breakfast on the lanai every morning was a beautiful experience. We could watch and listen to the waves.Sunsets from there were also wonderful.The walk to Kiahuna Beach was a short 7 minutes. It's a lovely non busy beach. The condo was clean and comfortable with new furnishings. The AC in the bedroom was helpful.

My husband & I were blown away by this condo! The owners have thought of absolutely everything, were amazing to communicate with, and the unit/grounds were immaculate. We loved being so close to the beach & restaurants, but away from the more crowded/noisy resorts. Sitting on the patio at sunset/in the morning was awesome, and being able to cool off in the pool at the end of the day was such a treat! It was also fun to read their guest book & see what others loved about their stay. We were NOT ready to leave! Thank you Mike & Gina!

We travel to Hawaii often, sometimes twice a year. Maui has always been our island of choice but we decided to make the trip to Kauai this time to explore another island that we have been told we must visit. We absolutely loved our stay and our condo was exceptional. We wanted for nothing and Michael’s communication was excellent. We loved the assigned parking spot, the AC was a bonus and 2 bathrooms made getting ready for the day twice as fast. There were several days we were the only ones in the pool for hours at a time. We loved all the local restaurants and small coffee spots. The turtles at sunset at Poipu Beach were amazing! I’m not sure our trip and travels around the island could have been better. Only we thing dint make happen was the helicopter tour, but there always next time, right? Thank you so much Michael and Gina for sharing your home with us.

Our family stayed at this unit for 8 nights and it exceeded our expectations. It was comfortable, very clean, and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The beach chairs, towels and coolers came in very handy, not to mention having a washer and dryer. The ocean view from the patio was outstanding, especially at sunset with the breathtaking views. We were a few minutes from beaches, restaurants, shopping centers and food trucks, which made our stay very convenient. The property manager was very friendly and checked in to make sure everything was going well and provided activity suggestions. We would definitely stay here again!

We cannot accurately review 34 because we never stayed there. We were told less than two weeks before our arrival that the owner wanted to stay in the unit during the time we had booked eight months earlier. Management found us another, excellent unit.

Fantastic place to stay in southern Kauai. The view from the condo is absolutely beautiful and the location is very convenient to swimming, snorkeling,dining out and the area shops. Would stay here again without hesitation.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay!! The resort is amazing with spectacular ocean views and sunsets. The condo was clean, spacious, the most comfortable bed ever and the view was to die for! We lacked for nothing!

There was four of us, all in our sixties and we all have had owned rental property in the past. We were pleased with the property at and on every level. Everything was as represented, location is key, and comfort is everything. The condo was clean, everything worked and this condo is popular. All you have to do is look at the calendar and see for yourself. Corey is very knowledgeable about the area and answered all of our text quickly. I wish I could get my kids to answer my text as fast! The only regret we have is not having enough time to stay here longer, but we will next time! Aloha!

We really enjoyed our stay, the location was central to many activities (shopping, restaurants, snorkeling, attractions). The property was exactly as described, clean, plenty of space, and well stocked with everything needed for our stay. The communication with the owner was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

My family and I stayed for 6 nights at this property and we are so happy we booked here! The owner was amazing from the start and communication was outstanding! The management company was also very much on top of things and responded quickly with questions we had. The property itself was beautiful and had everything we needed! It was super close to the Sheraton beach and we walked there in about 5 minutes! The property had beach towels, chairs, and the kitchen was stocked with all you needed to cook! The property was clean and the bathrooms were fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash! We had a gorgeous view from this ocean view property and we can’t wait to book again!!! Thank you!!!

This Poipu Kapili 2 bedroom, 3 bath was exactly what we needed! The townhome had everything listed and the Kapili Townhome complex was private & safe & clean & within a short 6 or 7 min walk to the beach in front of the Sheraton (Kiahuna Beach) or a 3 min drive to Poipu Beach. Loads of Restaurants to choose from and shopping malls and grocery stores within minutes. We used Google maps and Yelp to find places and their hours. The host has good recommendations also. The host (Belle) was helpful & pleasant from beginning of reservation to after the stay was over. While we were there we had surfing lessons, did Snuba, saw numerous Monk seals (even had one bump into my 18 yr old grandson while he swam in ocean), saw numerous Sea Turtles at Poipu Beach, played hours of board games and card games, swam in Kapili pool, went Water tubing, and saw Luau Ka Hikina (Highly recommend)! Then after checking out we drove all the way to Pu'u O Kila Lookout (elevation over 5000 ft). What a view! Not to mention the Waimea Canyon State Park on the way up and back. Still had time to shop and eat before going to the airport at 4pm. An unforgettable vacation for my 3 oldest grandkids and us.

Please is great. Love the view on the patio. BUT - water pipe broke, and we spent most of the night putting out pans to catch the water, towels, and had an alarm blaring. It took too many calls/emails/texts to get them to agree to an adjustment finally, but I had to negotiate pretty hard to get things reasonable. The price is a little high too.

Overall a nice stay. A few critiques. In my opinion the place is too filled/stocked. We enjoyed feeding Tommy the cat each day but the cat food takes up a large area in the cabinets. Therefore, there is no where to store your groceries but the countertop. The drawers and other cabinets have all the supplies you need but so many things that stuff is difficult to find. It would feel more tidy if there was a bit less. The pillow tops on the mattresses make the beds overly soft. Both my husband and I l, and even my children, found it difficult to sleep until I removed them from both beds. Lastly, I found myself irritated that they ask you not to turn the AC below 73. If you offer AC and pay the premium you should not be told the temperature in which to set it. My brother was at a lesser unit down the road with AC and no restrictions. We additionally had just stayed at a unit in Princeville and could do the same. 73 in July/August in Hawaii can still feel a bit warm especially at night. Even more, in a 2 story property. It’s all personal preference but if I pay for it, I want to control the temperature myself.

Overall we had a nice stay here. The condo is extremely spacious and decorated very well with beautiful artifacts and art pieces - you can tell the owners decorated it and stay here. You can watch sea turtles swimming from the second floor balcony which our kids loved. Beds are large and comfortable. There is a street between you and the ocean but traffic is relatively light. The resort grounds are well manicured and pretty. The only two real negatives were synthetic sheets and a considerable odor of what we think was pet urine downstairs. We also didn’t like the south shore of Kauai (we enjoyed the north shore much more), but that’s not a knock on the condo at all and is just our location preference. If you want to be on the south shore, this would be a good place to be based.

My only regret about our stay was that I forgot to write in the guestbook to tell Cynthia how much we enjoyed her absolutely fabulous unit! Everything was first class - from the furnishings throughout to the dishes, glasses, pots and pans, etc. in the kitchen to the beach supplies and to the very much appreciated central air (it was very warm the week we were there)! Our group rented 3 other units which were not Cynthia's and everyone was in awe of how wonderful our unit was! Even our beach towels were one level up from everyone else! The 3-ring binder on the desk was my Bible during the week - everything pertinent to the unit (like the tv and the always challenging remotes!) was carefully organized and fully explained. The view from the unit was beautiful - we looked out onto the pool, lawn and the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. In fact, one day there was a wedding on the lawn! I could go on and on with my praise! We had one small incident - couldn't get the Roku remote to work - it just needed a charge and that was remedied in no time! Yup! It was wonderful!

Overall a gorgeous property and condo, beach front! The provided ground coffee was delicious. The space is large with lots of light and good air flow with the doors open. Our only issue was with the sheets. They are micro fiber sheets that hold in heat, which isn’t what we want on a warm Hawaiian vacation. The rental company doesn’t use anything else unfortunately. We decided to buy some of our own since our first night sleep was bad on them. I highly recommend bringing your own if you are bothered by microfiber too. I also suggest the rental agency look into upgrading their bedding. $10/set at target for microfiber is a great deal for cheap low quality sheets, but it’s a luxury condo so the $70/set cotton sheets would add that extra detail. They’re still only 400 thread count, but significantly more comfortable than microfiber.
