Location and view are wonderful and we would stay here again because of that. The view and access to Shipwreck Beach make this home special. The condo is very nice and everything you need is provided. But, if you are a person that gets warm, the unit does get hot during the day. We went out early in the morning and came back in the afternoon after the sun was no longer directly on the patio and living area — so it worked for us. There is a portable ac in the bedroom which cools the bedroom with the bedroom door closed at night. A mini split or a portable ac unit in the living area would really be great.Instructions are needed on how to use television. There are 2 remotes and a hand written note that is not clear. It is a beautiful spot!

Great stay. Property was close to everything and next to the Grand Hyatt. The condo is well stocked and has everything one may need, and the owners are fabulous communicators. The air conditioner in the bedroom was great! I am sensitive to smells, and the condo did have a very strong musty smell. This could be easily remedied with an air purifier or a nice candle. We were out exploring more than we were in the condo and it was the perfect spot to explore the south side of the island. Highly recommend the Beach House for dinner with reservations at sunset.

Really nice place for the two of us to stay. It was pretty hot while we were there, so we missed not having an air conditioner. The location is really good; I just think we are old and kind of partial to the slowness of the north shore. Kathy was wonderful and made everything easy.

Comfortable condo, good location, nice pool. I know it was advertised as A/C only in bedroom, but it was very hot in the condo. The day we arrived, it was 88 in the bedroom, so we turned it on and closed the door. We had all the fans running and it was pretty unbearable in the rest of the condo.

An extreme value in a beautiful paradise. Spacious, fully stocked condo (even had beach chairs, coolers, snorkel masks, umbrellas) with AC in the bedroom. A 2-minute walk to the incredible southern coastal area and a 10-minute walk to a gorgeous beach, where the sea turtles come to rest every day around 5 pm. The owner is available for anything you need. Wonderful visit!

We absolutely loved it here! We were greeted with such a beautiful and thoughtful anniversary package - including balloons that said happy anniversary. The team also had great communication, got us into our room early, and made sure we had the best time. The views from this place are amazing! Honestly seemed like the best views in the complex. I woke up every morning, made coffee, and walked out onto the beach to view the ocean. This area also makes it very easy to get around, drive to town or walk to town (if you like long walks) and we also went to the Grand Hyatt and used their gym/spa amenities (400 for 5 days for 1 pass) and leveraged their restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. You could see people jumping off from the cliff from our room. Had the best time of my life here. Apartment also had an awesome amount of seasonings, cooking materials, and everything you need to make yourself at home. We loved our week here. If you keep your eyes out, you may also see beautiful geckos outside hiding on the walls, benches, or in the bushes. Saw seals and turtles on the beach outside. So peaceful and what a beautiful warm home.

Great place to stay, view was amazing -definitely has a 70’s vibe to it. The couch was very comfortable. Bedrooms could use some updating, Listing says AC but need to read the particulars/fine print as it was just portable AC units in the bedrooms. Beach towels were available to use. Pool was great. Very close to the Grand Hyatt which has great restaurants and amazing beach. Coffe was not provided so make sure you bring your own.

I was speaking at a conference at the Grand Hyatt and searched out places to stay off property. The location of this condo was absolutely perfect, the check in process and communication with the owner was quick and informative, the property as was impeccable. Plan on staying here again!

It was a spacious unit allowing the three groups of family members privacy and togetherness as desired. There was ample beach and pool supplies. I would’ve preferred coffee packs that served four rather than ten.

We had a great time at Jenni’s condo in Poipu. It’s a superb location, near the Hyatt, and the walking around the area is exceptional for morning and evening walks. The brief walk to Brennecke’s beach was a hit for us all. We were there during the tsunami evacuation and ended up in Kōloa - a short drive away- until we were safe to go back. Jenni was communicative during the process and helped us when we needed anything. The condo is well stocked, great beach equipment, and we enjoyed being so close to Shipwrecks beach. The washer and dryer were not my favorite to use, but it was ok because we brought plenty of clothes etc. lol! We would definitely stay here again and I can imagine it would be even better in the spring when there is less heat, since there is no AC. We managed without it with all the fans provided. The tv was great in the nighttime, when the sun went down, but we had to reset it once. Not sure why. Otherwise the condo WiFi was great. The kitchen items were excellent, but we didn’t bother with smoothies as the blender in the condo was quite old. (It probably works great, but we didn’t try). We did a couple maintenance things (oiled the squeaky sliding screen and replaced one of the window slats) because it was easy. The fan over the dining table needs to be replaced. Despite the few little odd hiccups in the condo we were very happy with our stay in Kauai- tsunami evacuation and hurricane scare and all- and we would definitely go back for more memories!

Our stay was amazing! The condo and property are immaculate and beautiful. Loved sitting on the lanai. The pool is beautiful and quiet. We loved our morning walks along the coast and access to the Hyatt (sometimes got coffee there). So much sea life and beauty all around. The beds were very comfortable. There is no air conditioner but plenty of fans and it did not bother us at all. Would highly recommend!

Condo is described as luxury. it’s nice, but luxury it is not. AC is only by portable units in bedrooms only. Bathrooms, kitchen and living area can get warm. Yes, there are ocean breezes if the doors or open, but it was misleading IMO to market it has having AC when the entire unit does not. On a 5 star scale, it is probably more like 3 3/4 stars. Nice, yes. Luxury, not really. The Grand Hyatt next door is where I would stay in the future.

The views from this unit were amazing! You could hear the ocean all night and the trade winds blew straight through the unit! Walking distance to Shipwreck beach was amazing and we loved watching the surfers while there. The pools in the resort that you could walk to were great. The one right outside the balcony is huge and relaxing. It was never crowded when we were there. The couch and master bed were comfortable, but the 2nd bedroom mattress was hard as a rock. Luckily we found an air mattress in the closet that was more comfy. The bathrooms were nice, hot water, good water pressure. The "air conditioning' wasn't great. With it being on the 3rd (top) floor, the unit was often rather warm in the afternoons, and the a/c couldn't keep up, so we mostly kept the screen doors and windows open so the winds would blow through.The kitchen had everything you need except for a rice cooker. We didn't wanna cook too much and add to the heat in the unit. The dishwasher smelled disgusting, as well as the "clean" dishes we found in the cabinets. Specifically the glasses/mugs. The dishwasher needs a good cleaning. We hand washed everything before we used it. The carpet is ready for an upgrade and matted down. The porch furniture could also use an upgrade and the beach toy closet needs a cleaning too. The beach chairs and most of the items in there need to be replaced!This was our last stop before heading home, and we were exhausted and made the best of staying in this unit.

Everything is as pictured in the listing or better. It has everything you need and more. Communication with the owner was great. Check in was a breeze, we arrived late but had the door code and got right in. The grounds are well maintained, we took advantage of the pools and barbeque. It is right next door to the Grand Hyatt so we took advantage of their restaurants and did a day pass to the beautiful pools there as well (resortpass.com). Easy walk to Shipwreck Beach or Poipu Beach. 100% would recommend, would stay again.

It was an excellent choice. The house came with plenty of beach toys for the kids and lounge chairs for the adults. Also, it is conveniently located next to the very nice resort with a water slide and lazy river (tickets form non-residents of the resort can be purchased). We will be staying here again on our next Kauai trip!!

The shower water goes from super hot and you can't get it cold. We opened the bottom windows in the dinning room and living room and the latches didnt work to close them. But everything else was great.

We absolutely loved our stay! The condo was in a fantastic location. We had all of the amenities we ever needed! The new bathrooms and carpet were very comfortable. I will be fixing my bathroom to look like this one at my own home. We did learn that you’re not supposed to hang your towels over the side of the balcony, but we learned our lesson. We went swimming in the pool and walked down to Shipwrecks Beach several times to see the sunsets and sunrises. We will be coming back!

A beautiful location and a terrific host. Kathy (the owner) was very responsive and accomandated a slightly early check-in since the unit was ready. The condo was very clean and well appointed. All the basics were already there in terms of spices, cooking oil, and every pot, pan, or untensil you could ever need. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, all ready for use. I absolutely would recommend this property and this unit specifically to future guests.

I cannot say enough good things about this condo! The location was perfect, the view was incredible, the host was communicative and accommodating… our family of 5 (kids are 8, 6, 2) LOVED it. It was the perfect space for our family. There were beach chairs and beach toys and pool toys galore! We spent one evening at the Poipu Kai pool/jacuzzi and one day at the pool that can be seen from the condo’s lanai - both were awesome and not crowded at all! The walking path near the condo was a dream. The literal only downside was carrying luggage up to the third floor, but that’s what gives you the best view!! Everything else was absolutely perfect and it would be a dream to stay here again.
