Poipu Shores, Kauai

Poipu Shores is an oceanfront condominium complex about a 5 minute walk from Brennecke beach and 7 minutes to Poipu Beach park. Most units at Poipu Shores are less than 100ft from the water with outstanding ocean views. In fact the complex boasts some of the best views on the south shore with the condos built on an outcropping looking down Poipu's coast. A swimming pool hovers above the edge of the ocean.

In the summer, when the south shore experiences bigger surf, waves create a dramatic effect as they splash against the lava rocks beside the condo. In the virtual tour below you'll see the splashing waves are visible from the inside of ground floor units (see unit 106A and 104A tours)! This is true of all building A's ground floor units. In the winter, whales are often seen along this section of the coast.

Also within walking distance is Shipwreck beach and the restaurants of the Grand Hyatt. Units at Poipu Shores range in size from 912-1035 sq ft (building A), 630-1041 sq ft (building B) and 1200 sq ft (building C). Email us if you'd like to know the exact size of a particular unit.

Poipu Shores Reviews


This place is right above the coastline and you hear the waves crashing as you fall asleep at night. The beds are super comfortable too. The pool has great view and the waves occasionally splash up on the deck of the pool which we thought was awesome to see and hear also. We saw turtles everyday from the balcony. The location was great with easy parking, and was within walking distance of the beach, boogie boarding and a few restaurants and shops. The sunsets were great to watch from the balcony every evening.

The views from this property are A.MAZ.ING!!! The location of the property is perfect. You can walk to restaurants and beaches. Turtles galore!! Very accommodating for 4 people. The host has done an amazing job with supplying beach toys, snorkels, chairs. The kitchen is stocked full of pots/pans, utensils - everything you would ever need. We would definitely come back to this property

This property has the most beautiful ocean view! It never got old. The location is so close to everything. We traveled with my elderly mother so we couldn’t walk anywhere but it was certainly close enough to walk to the beach. I can’t wait to return.

Condo was exactly as advertised, pictures and descriptions are 100% accurate. Clean with enough room for 2-4 people. Breakfast on the balcony, watching the waves, turtles, and sometime dolphins was awesome. The sounds of the waves crashing below was incredible. A light sleeper may choose to use the back bedroom. Both bedrooms have wall mounted air conditioning units, plus another for the main living area. We could not see staying here without the air conditioning - it was breezy, but the direction of the wind would not have cooled the condo. Trade winds will not reduce the humidity, no matter what anyone says…5 stars for A/C. Overall, Sampada was a great host, the condo was as advertised and the location was perfect. Also having a full washer and dryer in the unit was a big plus. Note…parking can be extremely tight, if renting a large SUV, just stick to the upper parking area, still tight but less cars. We will be back next time we travel to Kauai.

Loved property for many different aspects. My family thought ability to go to high end gym was a big plus. My son loved the grassy area outside condo where he could practice his soccer and chipping. I loved that pool was just steps away. Great that beach was so close and had easy access through locked gate. Really appreciated all the pre-travel emails and texts to keep me on task and know about cool activities and restaurants. They were not kidding about parking being right. I rented a smaller sized car and still struggled to park. We never did figure out AC remotes so would just snuggle under blankets for family movie nights. Did not want to bother people to ask about this. Overall, great condo and rental experience!

My wife, two daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There were some nice welcome gifts waiting for us when we arrived which set the tone. I could have sat on the balcony watching the waves crash just below us for the whole week it was so beautiful. The location was great with a short walk to Brennecke's and Poipu beaches. It's a nice little complex with a beautiful oceanfront pool. The unit itself was a little small - the second bedroom was fine for my two college aged daughters but might be cramped for some adults. I'd definitely consider staying there again.

We gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the bathroom tub was dirty. Also, we discovered, after a few cold showers, the hot water heater was set on vacation mode. Our friends would have liked some room darkening curtains in the spare bedroom. We loved sitting on the patio and had a fabulous time!! Thank you!

December 2023

We travelled as a family and I was drawn to this property based on the location, views and amenities since we were traveling with a toddler. While I was very pleased with the views, access to the athletic club, and location (watching the turtles in the water, walking distance to the beaches and many restaurants), I was disappointed in some aspects of the property itself. Although housekeeping came in before our stay and cleaned surfaces, the property is tired in and VERY much in need of a deep clean. We also experienced challenges with construction going on in the unit next door which caused a great deal of noise and banging during the day and made being in the unit (especially during nap times) less than desirable. I was careful in reading reviews and exploring the options in the area. Overall, I did not feel like the property lived up to how it was presented, and while we made the best of our trip I was disappointed in the overall accommodations.

Location and view is great. However the property condition was relatively poor, definitely needs maintenance, fresh coat of paint everywhere. Found a big cockroach which was a bad surprise. It is apparent that the owner did not keep the property in good shape. Candy wrappings under bed means cleaning crew did not do a good job. Apart from the awesomw view, only one star...

Thank you for this lovely stay at your VRBO resort! Location is amazing. Everything was pretty fabulous with the exception of the dishwasher (did not work) and the knives were too dull to cut most anything. I would have loved to have complimentary tea/coffee machine available for usage too. Otherwise, everything else was spectacular! Mahalo

The unit is an amazing location. Close to family friendly beaches. Spectacular view where you can fall asleep by moonlight and with the sounds of the ocean. This unit has almost everything you need for a great holiday. We especially appreciated the supplied toiletries, beach gear and well stocked kitchen with everything you need to make a delicious family meal. My only possible negative thing would be the small parking spots making it hard to park sometimes but we always found a spot in the complex. Overall, highly highly recommend this beautiful unit. We had a wonderful holiday thanks in large part to this great apartment.

Great location close to the beach and a few restaurants. The views from the balcony are what you think they should be. You can see sea turtles from the balcony. I do recommend that you have the A/C turned on. It’s a little warm if you are not used to it.. I’d definitely stay again

Although the views are amazing, there are many issues with the unit itself. The blinds are broken and stuck open in the bedroom and broken stuck closed in the living/kitchen area, the patio umbrella is broken, there is only one chair at the kitchen table, there were dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived (not sure if they were clean or dirty), the sink in the small bathroom barely drains, we had an issue with the air conditioner where we went to the property manager and they told us we needed to call Vacasa. When we called Vacasa they said there was no a/c in this unit, wouldn’t listen to our concerns or refer us to anyone else and hung up on us. Extremely disappointed in Vacasa customer service. I have never stayed in a property where there is no pride in ownership to keep up the maintenance of the property.

Wonderful condo! Lovely, comfortable bed and furnishings. Large, well stocked kitchen. Just me and my husband on this trip, so lots of space, but 2 bedrooms, so would be perfect for 4. Loved the first floor patio with lawn and ocean view just out the door. Pool access right out the door as well, spectacular sunset views every night!

November 2023

Sam was a great host. She made sure we got into the condo, checked mid-week to make sure everything was going well and finally as we were leaving. The condo is very clean and easily walkable to Poipu Beach, the shopping center and local coffee. Additionally, the kitchen is well stocked. The balcony was perfect to watch turtles surf in the waves and we'd usually seek 2 pods of dolphins early in the morning. I'd caution anyone staying there that parking can be difficult. With the large SUVs trying to fit into small spaces, it can be challenging to find a spot large enough and then get in or out of the vehicle. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

We came for our 27th anniversary, but it ended up being the honeymoon we never took. Everything was perfect. The condo was adorable, decorated for comfort and the kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING possibly needed. We only ate out 2x during our 7 day stay. So many amenities for a day at the beach, chairs, umbrella, and beach mats and towels. We packed a cooler lunch each time. The bed was beyond comfortable and we kept the windows open all night being lulled into deep sleep by the sound of waves. We never missed a sunrise or sunset from the patios. The view of both was perfect and rainbows over the water were often and stunning. The pounding surf agains the rocks directly below us made for a constant show as the sea turtles snacked in the bubbling water. Beaches near by were a little bit busy, but still the snorkeling was fun. The best beach we visited twice was on the other side of the island and was nearly deserted each time. Secret beach will have a place in our hearts forever. We’d never experienced a tropical get away before. Although there are other places in the world we’d like to see, it will be difficult not to consider just coming back to this same condo and the gorgeous island again. Thank you for an unforgettable moment in our lives.

The property is as described and functioned well for our family. Parker was an attentive and helpful host who communicated well and offered great local information before and during the trip. We took many of the recommendations offered and were not disappointed with any of them (do the Blue boat and Blue helicopter tours if you can - both are amazing). Property is in a good central location for day trips to other areas, and we enjoyed being able to walk down the short/easy path to the beaches. We really appreciated the boogie boards and chairs etc. - they just made things easy to enjoy. The in-person views are better than what pictures can capture... and the sound of the surf is the best we have ever experienced. My only regret is that car rental upgraded me to a larger car and it was hard to park in the smaller spots that are commonplace everywhere on Kauai and this location -- not a criticism of the property, just a note for anyone reading this and considering a larger car!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was clean and comfortable and well appointed. The bedrooms were a reasonable size and the bathrooms were too. This condo is on the lower level so our unit opened up right onto a grassy lawn and the ocean was just beyond! The waves here are amazing and the sound is then crashing onto the lava rocks is just magnificent! The location is very convenient to town and we felt very safe. The parking spaces are small - no surprise in Hawaii - but they get the job done unless other rude condo guests park across a line, which happened a couple times. Ugh. The resort does have an elevator which is handy for getting your luggage where it needs to go and it has a very nice pool. There was some confusion about us getting a parking pass for our car - the resort needs to update their email and printed information for getting a pass when checking in after hours. But that was a minor thing that was corrected. We loved it here!

The property and location were great, especially the pool. Having beach chairs and towels was a plus. Good kitchen and supplies there. The grounds maintenance was not great. Dead grass, etc. We felt the property was in need of updating. Specifically, - The guest bedroom was really hot. Only strategic positioning of noisy fans made it bearable. With only a few outlets available, we needed extension cords for the fans. Needs A/C. - The parking lot is a joke. The spaces are too narrow for full size cars, so parking and getting in and out were a major chore. When people parked a little crooked, the parking police left notes on our windshields. - Pave (tile) the path down to the first floor of bldg A. The gravel path seems like an afterthought, not friendly to suitcases. - Two cockroaches were not welcome. At all. - The soap dispenser in the shower of the guest bedroom was empty. We had our own soap so didn't complain. Most of that was not a huge problem, the hot bedroom and parking lot being the most annoying. The location and pool were great, and we still had a wonderful week.

The Condo I booked was not what we got. No one was there to talk to. The corner unit that is listed and that we paid for we did not get. If I wanted another unit I would have gotten another unit, but wanted this particular one that was advertised and that I paid for was the one we wanted. I would have chosen another one over this one if we knew we were not going to get the one we picked. The unit we had was still nice and I don't want to be ungrateful. But we have booked off of VRBO plenty of times and this has never happened. I'm a little skeptical to book again through VRBO. Only explanation I got was that it was double booked. Would have liked to know ahead to time. The veiw at this property is amazing though!!

Poipu Shores 103A offers EVERYTHING one needs for a visit to beautiful Kauai! No need to pack anything but clothes, bathing suits, and essentials like meds. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, etc were all provided, as well as assorted sunscreens left behind by previous guests. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and even a cooler provided for day trips. (Pack light! We brought way too many clothes and unnecessary toiletry items!!) The Tempupedic adjustable bed was wonderful at the end of our daily exploration adventures! We also loved the waves crashing on the rocks right outside our unit and were able to take in both sunrises and sunsets from the thick plush lawn outside our door. A beautiful beach is a short walk from this unit, which is also a plus. What a beautiful place to celebrate our 51st anniversary!!!

This property is truly all about its location. I think it had one of the best views within the condo complex. Right on the water, we watched the sea turtles ALL THE TIME. Beautiful sunrises in the morning , the moon on the water at night and watching the turtles in between, I simply couldn’t ask for anything more. Nice kitchen, comfy beds, ocean sounds while we slept. All perfect. There is some room for improvement however. The couch is tiny and not very comfortable. It is a two bedroom after all but no way can 4 adults stay there, maybe a child or 2 but that’s it.It also would have been nice to have a tv in at least one of the bedrooms. Again, it is a two bedroom with only one television in the whole place. And sometimes it’s nice to lie in bed and watch something. Plenty of mirrors all around, no need for one on the dresser too. The thing that truly bothered us was the fact that there were renovations going on in the condo above us. Very loud renovations. And although we understand that this is a necessity it would have been nice to be given a heads up about it. And if the owner / manager wasn’t aware either then he should have addressed the issue when I emailed him about it. No one answered me. An apology and some sort of acknowledgment of the disturbance with a discount or a gift of some sort would have been greatly appreciated. All in all honestly no regrets, I would book it again if we ever return.

We loved our stay here in September 2023. The unit was tastefully laid out, with a kitchen ready for even the most ambitious chef, and in a wonderful location for both the view and proximity to the beach and food/drink/conveniences. The A/C kept every room as cool as we liked and made for a good night's sleep. Parker was a superb host and proactively kept us informed on check-in/check-out processes; we felt very well taken care of. We will absolutely stay here again!

TV not working in bedroom. Fan not working in living room. Air conditioner in bedroom and living room stopped working on Friday. I was told someone would be over to fix it. No one showed up. I called vacasa on Saturday morning, they said no one was available on the weekend, So all day Friday and Saturday and Sunday morning no air conditioner. Will never book here or with vacasa agin

My husband and I stayed here for 6 days. The view is incredible! That was definitely our favorite part of the property. However, what we didn't realize was with the amazing view and proximity to the water how loud the waves could be at night when we were trying to sleep (we are somewhat light sleepers though). The swimming pool area was great for watching the turtles in the cove below and the sunsets in the evening. We were a little bummed that there wasn't any beach equipment to use and the kitchen wasn't as well stocked as we expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was an easy walk to Poipu Beach; where we watched the turtles come onto shore to sleep at night.

My wife and family stayed here while I was at a nearby conference. The property is well taken care of and very conveniently located. The view from the pool--including sea turtles in the surf--is unparalleled. Highly recommend!

What a lovely and perfect unit for us! This being our 14 or 15th time to Kauai, we have to say that this was one of the best places we’ve stayed! The location being right on the ocean with soothing views, and the pool makes this unit the best compared to other condos we’ve tried. People were very nice here. The kitchen was fully equipped and the closet full of water toys and beach gear was great! Melodee was an awesome host as well. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

This condo is as advertised. Nice size for a 1-bedroom, well equipped kitchen, close to pool and beach. Killer views! Condo manager needs to update instructions for house key. Lockbox instructions are irrelevant and front door deadbolt key does not work. Perfect vacation. Definitely recommend helicopter island tour. We used Jack Harter and they were fantastic!

Our 3rd time staying here at 101C. It’s a perfect vacation every time. Unmatched and gorgeous views. Double rainbow, Spinner dolphins, Tropicbirds, dozens of Honu and Shearwaters at night just during our firs 24 hours. The condo is super clean, modern and comfortable. We’ll be back again! Thank you

We rented two units with family in one and my wife and I in another. The location afforded us the opportunity to enjoy all that Poipu has to offer.

The condo was spacious. Bathrooms were a bit small but adequate. Had everything we needed including beach chairs and towels. We were thankful for the a/c because we had some hot days. Main bedroom had a great view with a very comfy bed. Pool was great. The view from the balcony was amazing. We saw turtles almost everyday!

You can’t beat the location and view of this property! We walked to the beach and dinner and the location is convenient to everything else! We spent so much time on the balcony watching the waves hit the shoreline. It’s so impressive! My only negative is that the inside could use a deep clean/updating. It definitely could just be a one-off for our time, but the view and sounds of waves crashing made up for it.

My wife and I loved our stay at Sampada's beach condo. The first thing we noticed (and fell in love with), was the spectacular view. We will miss hearing the waves crash and watching the turtles swim from the lanai. This unit is in walking distance to the beach. Plus, we liked how the entire island was accessible for a quick day trip whether it was to Waimea Canyon or Hanalei. Thank you for the great stay and we'd love to come back again!

Loved our stay at Poipu Shores. The condo had everything we needed. It was extremely clean and comfortable. We loved listening to the waves at night and watching the sea turtles from our lanai. The view was beautiful. It was great to be walking distance to Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach. Super location with great access to Lihue (Safeway, Target, Costco), Waimea Canyon, and our boat tour to Napali Coast. Would absolutely stay here again next time we are in this area of Kauai.

Check in was a breeze. Was contacted ahead of time to let me know some facts about the condo. The condo was well equipped with lots of paper products and soaps for dish washer and clothing washer. The bed was comfortable and the waves crashing against the rocks was like a lullaby for sleeping. There is no AC but worth the fans and the winds the home stayed cool.

My family had a great time at this property. It was well equipped and had everything noted in the listing. We loved being so close to Poipu beach and being able to watch the turtles from the balcony. And the location was convenient to many things in the island.

We loved our stay here! We loved the private deck and the views are amazing! We saw turtles every single day on the deck. Poipu beach is so close and there’s a walking path to get there. Poipu beach is a awesome beach to snorkel at! We saw a couple turtles and 2 seals! Such a fun stay we will definitely be back!

This was our second two week stay in PS 205A in the past nine months. If it was up to me, I’d stay at this property for many more vacations. The idea of repeated stays at the same property, is foreign to us. We kind of like to mix it up. It’s just so relaxing there. The owners have provided everything we need to have a glorious beach trip. The constant sound of the surf crashing on the rocks. It is easy to get around the island. I could go on and on with praise. Just an amazing property.

A wonderful unit overlooking the turtles. A great place in paradise. The owner is very helpful. The pool overlooks the ocean. BBQs and entire condo has all the goodies, spices, snorkeling and everything. I wanted to move in. Very enjoyable.
