Just a great property, clean and well appointed, and the location couldn't be better. Awesome ocean views from the spacious and comfortable balcony lanai--we watched the sunrise over the Pacific every morning.

We absolutely loved our stay. It felt like home…. but in paradise. Stunning views and amazing accommodations. There was no Air Conditioning, but we didn’t once feel like we needed it. We just opened the windows and let the breeze do what it does best. The only negative thing to say was that the master-bedroom mattress was ROCK hard. I jokingly asked my wife if she thought it was granite or marble. And the other negative thing was the two roll-away mattresses that the facility provided us for kid #3 & 4 felt like stiff springs covered in single-ply paper. We were able to remedy the issue by piling up the bed spreads as a mattress topper and placing the mattresses on the floor. With all that being said, my wifey and I would hands-down stay here again. The positives far outweigh the small negatives. And, who knows, the issues might already be fixed. We would recommend and revisit.

Aloha, this condo is located in the beautiful Poipu Kai resort at the Sands! The view from the condo is outstanding, just as pictured in the unit ad! The host responded immediately to all communication. Check in was a breeze! The Grand Hyatt is .4 of a mile from the condo’s back door! We made great use of the Hyatt, eating there 3 times, having massages and spending an entire day at their pool using a day pass! All of that without spending $1,400 a night to stay there! The only item that caught us a bit by surprise was the air conditioning. The ad highlights AC and there is a portable AC unit in the bedroom. Our expectation was a whole house ducted system, but the portable unit kept the bedroom comfortably cool! We deducted one star from the Listing Accuracy for this. We definitely will return as the location for the price is a wonderful value! Mahalo

Lovely location with easy acess to Shipwreck beach. Spent nights looking at the stars on the grass while listening to the waves. Nice views of beach/ocean. Close to grocery store and restaurants as well as major roads. Just far enough away to not hear any traffic, but great convenience.

This was a lovely place to stay. The location is perfect. The unit is very nice. It was clean and well equipped. The master bedroom sliders need to be replaced since opening and closing was difficult. Otherwise, no problems. Our regret is we can't return due to the increase in cost. Cost, with fees, have increased significantly more than double. I expect such an increase is attributable to VRBO, the owners, and misc. This is very disappointing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: We stayed for 2 weeks in November and booked for 2 more in March. The views are incredible and on most days/nights you get a moderate to strong ocean breeze to keep it cool. The unit is outfitted with portable AC but we never used it. Great layout with comfortable furniture and beds. The patio furniture needs upgrading but otherwise everything was good. The rental includes use of the Poipu Beach Athletic Club which we used every morning to work out, swim, play pickleball. We had a couple of minor issues upon arrival but Poipu365 quickly resolved them for us. The condo would benefit from a deep clean (walls, cupboards) but in general was tidy upon our arrival.

November 2023

We had a great stay and chose the property because of its walking distance proximity to the Hyatt where I had a conference for 5 days. The owner was responsive and accommodating and there was plenty of equipment to cook with and great wifi. We never could figure out the TV in the living room (would suggest a manual for future guests) and therefore watched the baseball playoffs on the bedroom TV. My only additional gripe was that where the unit was located, the generally strong trade winds didn't seem to easily flow through this unit. Walking the property grounds, there were other locations where the wind seemed to blow stronger. When I propped the front door open, I was able to get a bit of a tunnel effect, but the main living areas where always a bit too warm for me in the PM. There is window AC in the bedroom that was "adequate" and some portable fans that we used as well to get the temp down enough for sleeping, but perhaps not down to my preferred sleeping temp. Please note, that the AC unit situation is likely typical for all units at the Poipu Sands and not just this one. All in all, a great location on a great island!

This property was awesome! It had a great view of Shipwreck beach, which is only a 5 minute walk away. It’s very spacious and clean. They provide chairs, a cooler and beach toys. A washer and dryer is located right inside the room which was very useful. The pool is a short walk from the room and very nice to relax by.

overall a great place to stay and would consider returning. AC in primary bedroom a definite benefit. notes: - 3rd floor accessed by stairs only - no basic cooking supplies beyond salt and pepper so you'll need to bring/buy your own. - cooking tools, etc are quite good - we even made use of the rice cooker 👏

My family of 7 traveled to Kauai the first part of October. We had 6 adults and 1 infant. The condo was so well equipped with everything a family would need to enjoy themselves both within the condo and outside. Tons of beach toys and a pak n play for the infant. This saves so much hassle to travel with all that gear. It is located on a beautiful property, that has fabulous views of the ocean. Easy walk to Shipwreck's Beach and the Grand Hyatt, as well as easy drive (could walk, but hard with an infant) to the other amazing beaches nearby. Super clean and Jenn was very responsive to a few questions we had during our stay. We will definitley return to this condo. Thanks for sharing it!

What a stunning and stunning condo! Woke up to the sunrise every day and fell asleep to the ocean waves nightly. The condo itself was clean, well equipped, and spacious. There were some beach chairs, beach umbrella, and a small cooler available in the closet. No A/C but ceiling fans and portable fans helped keep the air flowing. Loved it here!

We enjoyed a very nice stay in this rental. The location is central to everything we wanted, the property was very clean, comfortable, beautiful, and stocked with more than everything we needed. We enjoyed having the pool so close and a nice ocean view. We didn’t want for anything, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.

I can’t say how satisfied we all where / are . The location , the view , how the home was equipped. We cooked in a lot . We went to see the sunrise each morning . Near the Hyatt . The home owner was beyond helpful . The book he put together, the hints , for food and exploring . I can not thank he and his wife enough. We are going again . The Hawaiian Life for a week satisfies the soul . Mahalo

This property was ideally located. Pool was wonderful. Mere steps to beach. Disappointed in the cleanliness specifically rug. Sliding glass door in living room did not lock. Several fans did not work.
Soni C.
October 2023

Excellent choice for smaller families or 2 couples. Wonderful ocean view. Comfortable beds and large bathrooms. Pool was just steps away, but we wished the hot tub would've been closer; hot tub was about a 10-minute walk. Multiple beaches within walking distance. Kitchen was well-equipped, although we opted to eat out mostly. Bath and beach towels were supplied for 4 guests, but it would've been nice to have a few extras.

We enjoyed the stay here. So close to the beach! Very clean and have zero complaints. Would stay here again.

It was a beautiful property. We had a great time. The only down side was the unit is not air conditioned.
Nancy D.
October 2023

The highlight of this property is the location. It is an easy walk to beaches and access to multiple pools. There was also a cooler and beach chairs/umbrella to take with you on your beach adventures. The listing does say AC, although there was no AC in the unit (there were several fans though). Having access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club was also a plus as we were able to take advantage of their departure pass program (for an extra fee) on our final day and enjoyed the pool/amenities for several more hours before leaving for a late night flight. Would definitely stay here again.

October 2023

Since we were staying in Poipu for two weeks, we wanted to make sure the condo was spacious, had good views, close to the beach and convenient to other things we wanted to do and see. This condo had it all! The hosts were very proactive before, during and after our stay. The condo was very well stocked with dishes, pots, pans and even beach chairs and a cooler. We highly recommend it.
Bobbi B.
October 2023

I had a great stay! The condo was clean and central to the many local areas I wanted to visit. My stay was also quiet and pretty flawless. Check in and out was easy, as well. I would recommend this location especially for a couple. Mahalo!

October 2023

We enjoyed our stay in Kauai. The condo was perfect for my husband and adult daughter and her boyfriend. The separate bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom was great! We ended up eating out only once as we preferred to cook and eat in the condo out on the lanai where we could enjoy the sound and view of the ocean. The kitchen was well appointed. We made use of the cooler, umbrella, chairs and boogie boards! The condo was comfortable and clean. We didn’t miss the AC since we just opened the windows to let the sea breezes flow through. Thanks for a great stay!

This apartment is absolutely wonderful. It has a large balcony with a sea and pool view. We loved watching the sun rise with our morning coffee. The furniture and decor are beautiful. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. There are beach chairs, boogie boards and a cooler. We even found hair straighteners and curling irons!! Poipu and Shipwreck beach are within easy walking distance. The pool area was spotlessly clean and never crowded. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we ever make it back to this magical island.

Patricia S.
October 2023

This was a great place and I highly recommend it to anyone staying in the area. It is located on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator, which can make getting too difficult if you have a lot of luggage, but it is completely worth it. Walking distance to a couple beaches and only a short drive to some great shopping centers. Also a great base camp if you plan on doing anything with the Na Pali Coast or Waimea Canyon / Kokee State Park. It is a bit of a trek to the East Coast and even further to the North side, but worth every penny if you are planning anything for the South / West side of the island.

This is my second stay and will be booking for next year. The location is perfect, close to everything Poipu has to offer. Loved seeing the turtles on the beach at sunset. Cocktails at Hyatt's SeaView Terrace always fun. Many hiking options out the condo door. Shopping, restaurants, beaches close by. Condo equipped w beach chairs, etc. Just the best!

We had such a lovely stay here ! Thank you Shari for an amazing backdrop to our Kauai stay for our 23rd anniversary! The condo was perfect for our family! Our mornings consisted of coffee on the upper lanai watching the turtles in the break below and our evenings were spent enjoying dinner on the lanai downstairs discussing our day well spent on the island. The condo is very well equipped with anything you may need, it is truly home. We loved having the beach mats for our beach adventures and the cooler for when our days went long exploring the island. The pool was a perfect place to unwind after a long day or just spend the entire day there splashing and laughing together. Definitely felt at home and our daughters loved having their own space to be in downstairs in the twin room suite. We’re already planning our next trip back!

Great location, great complex! View off balcony is fantastic. However, property is dated and could use a refresh. Also, unfortunately, the property was not very clean when we arrived. I would say Jeff is very nice and did his best to correct this issue when we were in contact with him so I hope the cleaning service improves in the future.

The entire property was beautiful with gardens and pool and view of the ocean. The unit was very clean and beautifully decorated, it was comfortably large for 6 we had 4 adults and 2 kids. It was stocked with everything you can need, such a convenience to have umbrellas chairs boogie boards and coolers. We spent most of our time on the large lanai enjoying the view during the day and the moon rise at night! It’s walking distance to the Hyatt and Hilton and a short drive over to the turtles on Poipu and Brenneckies for a great dinner. Our host was wonderful and had very good recommendations for where to eat and play. You won’t be disappointed.One of my best vacations!

Poipu Sands is a phenomenal property. We stayed for 3 weeks and we absolutely loved it. The views were breathtaking and the condo was equipped with everything a person could ask for. The air conditioner in the bedroom was a very nice touch. We would stay in this unit again in a heartbeat!
Rebecca M.
September 2023

Everything about our 8 night stay from August 26 thru Sep 3 was just fantastic! The condo was very liveable, with a nice wraparound, comfy couch, a lovely dining area, well-stocked kitchen which we used to prepare nice family dinners, and beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved the music playlist that Ashley had on the SONOs speakers. We also loved the convenience of having wireless chargers on each side of the bedrooms. We loved the incredible views of the ocean and Shipwreck Beach from the third-story lanai, non stop 24/7 ocean breeze was intoxicating . The condo was close to walking paths along the scenic shoreline, as well as the Heritage Trail. Poipu beach was a 5 min car ride and has great snorkeling but getting in and out of the beach is tricky the coral reef rocks are sharp and one can get hurt with the crashing waves- so be cautious.The Grand Hyatt & Shipwreck Beach are right next door. The amenities included snorkel gear, beach bags, umbrellas, etc.--all the equipment needed for the beach and picnis! Something we didn't expect was the personal attention Ashley gave us. She emailed us before our stay with pertinent information, as well as during our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed, and she got back to us immediately with answers to any questions. Ashley was an excellent host, very friendly, accommodating and great communication. I highly recommend Ashley's place and would definitely stay there if I visit again.

September 2023

We loved staying at this spacious, clean , comfortable and beautifully decorated condo. Located close to Poipu beach and The Grand Hyatt at Shipwreck Beach made it easy to spend time at these stunning locations as well as exploring other parts of the island. This Condo is extremely well equipped with everything you need to enjoy gorgeous beaches and the kitchen has all the tools necessary to create basic and gourmet meals. The space was easily kept cool with ceiling fans. We never even considered using the air conditioning and thoroughly enjoyed the fragrant ocean breezes . Kauai is a beautiful island that offers many activities and this condo is the perfect place to come home to after a busy day!
Andrea D.
September 2023

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Kauai and the views from this unit were spectacular. Still on the fence as to whether we would stay here again. Pros: - Incredible views, sounds of the water -Tastefully furnished with very comfortable beds - Responsive property management when we had maintenance issues - Lots of great beach gear - boards, chairs, umbrellas - made a huge difference for our stay. Cons - Basic maintenance has been deferred by the owners. We had issues with showers, freezer, microwave. I expected a lot better given the price tag. - Needs upkeep - lots of rust on fixtures and doors; old and yellowed paint in many areas, carpet is OLD. - Despite being gorgeous, the beach really isn’t swimmable for kids or even inexperienced adult swimmers. The rip tide is real.

We absolutely loved our stay at Poipu Sands! The rental unit is spacious, quiet, clean, and everything we could’ve asked for. The owners seem to have thought of everything that we could possibly need for a beach vacation :) Sitting on the lanai to watch/listen to the ocean was one of our favorite things to do!
Katy B.
September 2023

This condo had everything we needed. It was perfectly located near lots of things to see and do. Our favorite thing to do was just sit and take in the ocean breezes and enjoy the wonderful views on the huge lanai. Vangie was wonderful, one of the most helpful hosts and extremely communicative. We had never been to Kaua’i before and she went out of her way to recommend places to eat, fun things not to miss etc and her recommendations were spot on. The only thing I do wish is that there was an elevator, my knees took a beating going up and down 3 flights of stairs. But other than that, this place is a gem!

September 2023

Condo has a great spacious layout for two couples. Large comfortable lanai. Nice distant views of Ship Wreak Beach and the ocean. Very convenient access to swimming pool and barbeque grills. Parking was very easy. Good access to Poipu Beach and there are a number of restaurants within 5 miles. Good kitchen supplies. Owners also supplied 4 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas and 2 boogie boards - A real plus. We were there in August and stayed in the "back" bedroom. It had a ceiling fan and a tower fan that did their best to keep the heat moving out of the louvered windows, but it was definitely very warm and humid sleeping. The "front" bedroom had better airflow and a nicer bed and view. The owners were very communicative and checked in by text with us several times.

Great location. The “inside” AC is too noisy to be useful. Absent a strong wind, and with temperatures rising with global warming, these units may become much less comfortable.

We were so grateful for this last minute available condo. The property manager promptly replied to our request AND even had the condo available one day early for us. The property was very clean and spacious. it was walking distance to shipwrecks beach as well as Poipu beach. There was a washer and dryer inside the unit and the master bathroom/shower was beautiful!

Neil and Connie are the perfect, laid back host as well.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The place was big and clean. Fully stocked with all the beach toys we needed. The lanai was amazing with a fantastic view.

August 2023

This condo has arguably the best view on the island… looking across shipwreck beach at the breaking waves and cliff. With that being said it needs some serious attention and updating. First and most importantly, the VRBO listing needs updating as it falsely says the guest bedroom king bed could be separated into two twins… which it cannot. The guest bedroom has a king wood framed bed that cannot be separated. It is totally unacceptable to falsely advertise the sleeping arrangements of a condo on VRBO. Second, the unit does not have A/C. During my stay it was in the 80s and the unit was hot and generally uncomfortable. The unit does have supplemental fans… but they were very dirty with grime and needed cleaning. Because of the lack of A/C the windows needed to be constantly open… however the screens are old and not tight fitting. In the guest bedroom geckos we’re living in the room under the bed and lizard poop covered the base molding. It was disgusting. Ants also were rampant in the guest bedroom and after my daughter left an apple on her bedside stand it quickly was covered with 100 plus ants. that came right in the gaps in the screens . There are also lots of small things that need attention. The shower head in the hall bath needs to be replaced. The washing machine leaked water on the floor. The oven light did not work. The electrical outlets needed replaceconf. The unit needs to be tiled vs having carpeting. The unit needs new windows.

Location is ideal, great view of ocean, quick walk to a really nice pool and grill area with multiple weber 4 burner grills. Also a quick (20 walk to public beaches and (10 minutes) to beaches infront of the Hyatt. Host was super attentive, fixing a minor issue same day. Layout of place was great with king and two twin beds , Both with en-suite bathrooms that where spacious. Kitchen had everything we wanted included coffee maker and toaster . Highly recommend for those seeking a great location and everything needed for a great stay.

View from condo is spectacular, it was very clean and well appointed, bed was comfortable, building was well taken care of and in a quiet location.We enjoyed our stay but feel that it should be noted in description that there are 3 flights of stairs to get to condo and no elevator - getting luggage and groceries up was difficult but not impossible.

This condo is clean and beautifully appointed. The beds were super comfortable. Everything you need is here. While it lacks a view of the ocean, you feel like you are in a tree house. Very quiet and a beautiful clean pool just steps away. The only draw back is, if you are susceptible to heat, it is very hard to cool down the house. There is usually plenty of breeze coming in from the east side of the house but the rest of the house is very hard to get cool. Especially, the master bedroom.There were 5 fans provided and we used all of them to cool down the rooms at night. Lots of beach equipment, fully appointed kitchen. Very centrally located to things in this area. It is on the second level so be ready to schlep your luggage up 2 flights of stairs. I would stay here again for sure.

The location of the property was excellent- walkable to different amenities and the beach. Good view of the ocean, with a large balcony. They also accommodated a late request for an early check in. Everything was also very clean. I would wonder what the recent renovations were that they had advertised? The unit itself clearly had a very old carpet thought out as well as very outdated furnishings. Additionally there was an alarm that went off nearly the entire night from another unit nearby and no one responded to my text from the on call service.

We had such a great time staying at the property. First, Scott was so extremely helpful. I must have emailed him a dozen times asking for suggestions and recommendations for food, dining, best place for fishing, for surf lessons, and everything else. He responded super quickly to each question (less than a day, if not a couple hours). Second, the condo is spacious and very clean. The kitchen is stocked with spices (salt, pepper), and the condo had a sufficient amount of general purpose household items (toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap) to get us started. Super helpful because we arrived very late the first night. Also had boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. This particular condo is not on the beach (none of them really are for this complex). It was fine for us. 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 second walk to the pool! Third, the property is in such a convenient location. 5 minute walk to the Grand Hyatt, 5 minute drive to Poipu beach, and there's some type of Hilton (I think) vacation club right in front of the complex which has a pleasant poolside bar. We used the condo complex's quiet pool quite a bit. The kids used the tennis courts as well. There's a really neat little E-bike rental place next to the tennis courts too. Overall, great host, great condo, great experience.

My husband and our two kids stayed here and it was amazing. We are pretty picky and the property had absolutely everything and the location couldn’t be beat. The property had all of the beach essentials you could need, very comfortable beds, and soft and fluffy towels. The property owner was incredibly responsive and reached out to make sure everything was going well. We will definitely come back and would recommend to anyone!

location is great, with stunning sunrises, and hearing the soothing sound of the waves, especially at night..Also how the friendly birds that come right up to you on the lanai...My favorites were the zebra doves (smallest of doves) and the cardinals..The pool is fantastic and the bbq's grills worked out nice...Saved alot of money cooking our own food..Shipwreck beach is ok, but beware, very strong waves and undertows...Overall, we loved staying here...Thanks

We enjoyed our experience in Kauai. Always beautiful. Brandon, the property manager, was very helpful bringing ice and a cooler when the fridge broke. Nice condo but could use a deep clean. Loved the proximity to the Shipwrecks beach and other Kauai attractions.
