This place was located in the middle of all the excitement of Poipu. This place was in so clean and better than we could imagine!

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful home. Great location to the beach and town. The pool in the complex is beautiful as well! Loved the complex's walking path. Can't wait to go back.

We had an amazing stay at this condo! The pool is just steps away from the back door and very nice for the kids to spend the day in. Dominika was very thorough and communicative throughout our stay. The unit was well equipped with quite literally everything we needed for the kids including a pack-n-play and toys, and they loved all the beach toys! This is by far the nicest unit we’ve stayed in within the Poipu Kai resort and will most certainly be back! Thank you, Dominika!

The rental is within walking distance to Shipwreck, Brennecke's, and Poipu beaches. It was very clean and provided numerous kitchen appliances, utensils, and dishes. Beach gear including towels, beach chairs, a wagon, etc. were available for a group of 6 adults. The landscaping was beautiful, and we enjoyed spending time on the lanai. The condo is very close to the pool. Check-in was very easy, and the owners were quick to respond to any questions that we had.

Being in our late 70's we appreciated having an elevator and having just a short walk to the pool or parking. Poipu beach was just a 2 minute drive and everything else we wanted was within a 10 minute drive: shopping, restaurants, grocery store, etc. The condo itself is a 10 out of 10.

This place was perfect for our stay with a toddler and two sets of grandparents. The place looked even better in person and was very clean. If there was anything to critique it would be sometimes hearing the footsteps from the people in the unit above and an occasional loud group in a neighboring unit, but nothing lasted after quiet hours and overall the whole complex was very quiet and peaceful. Came with everything we could have asked for and more. Excellent location next to the pool and a short walk to two beaches. Five stars and would definitely stay again.

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. Awesome location, very spacious, clean well stocked. Made breakfast every day and quite a few dinners and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would recommend 100%.

Upon arrival condo was clean. But quickly found all furniture and all beds were extremely uncomfortable and very old! The primary bedroom king bed literally sounded and felt as if it would collapse at any time, and the noise from just sitting on the mattress could be heard throughout condo. The beds are in need of new mattresses and entire condo in desperate need of new furniture. The dining table chairs smelled so bad and felt dirty when sitting on them. The dishwasher leaked, the washer and dryer would not start at times. The smoke detector did go off periodically during visit and in the middle of night but then would stop so when the maintenance guy came it wasn’t beeping then. Then of course started right after he left again after changing batteries. Overall the whole condo needs refurbished. I’m sure when it was built it was very nice, but you can tell the condo has not been kept up and maintenance only minimally done. The location is lovely, and the complex is very nice. Although the key fob for the pool is strange as you can’t get out of pool area without key fob to let yourself out and no bathroom facilities at pool so it was constant getting up to allow other guests in your party to get out or get in. Kauai always beautiful, but can not recommend this particular condo and would not stay here again.

Great location near the beach. We were able to walk to the nearby beach which had options for both the young kids in our family and the older kids who wanted to boogie board. The beach/pool amenities were perfect. We also loved that the unit had supplies for our 1.5 yr old which made traveling so much easier. The in-unit washer and dryer was a game changer. The unit was clean and spacious, perfect for a family/large group! Host was also very responsive, checked in a few times and was prompt to address any questions we had! Would definitely recommend this place and look forward to going back again!

Our stay at this stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo in Kauai was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the great layout and prime location. The open concept living room and kitchen seamlessly flowed out to a spacious lanai, where we enjoyed morning coffee while soaking in the serene views of the pool area surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant tropical flowers. Though just steps from the pool, the space felt wonderfully private and peaceful, a true oasis. The condo was impeccably equipped for both relaxation and convenience. The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up breakfasts and meals, and we loved grilling poolside on the barbecue (a highlight of our evenings!). The added bonus of beach gear: chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler, made our days at Brennecke’s Beach effortless, just a quick 5-minute stroll away. We spent early mornings bodysurfing there and lazy afternoons lounging by the pool, savoring the perfect balance of adventure and downtime. Location wise, this spot is unbeatable. Nestled in a quiet area yet close to shops and restaurants, it offered the best of both worlds. The combination of modern comforts, tropical charm, and thoughtful amenities from beach towels to cookware made this feel like a home away from home. We’re already dreaming of our next stay here, highly recommend this gem for families, groups, or anyone seeking a tranquil Kauai retreat with all the perks! Mahalo for an unforgettable vacation!

This place had everything we needed! Everyone had their own spacious room and bathroom. The kitchen was full equipped so we cooked a few meals at home. The condo came with all the beach gear you could ever need (chairs, wagon, boogie boards). And this was our first time traveling with our under one year old, so having a pack and play and high chair at the condo was a huge help! The pool on site was warm and never too crowded. Poipu beach and Shipwrecks beach were a quick walk away. We had a great family trip and will be back!!!

Walt & Judy (& Derek & Annmarie)...thank you! Your condo is beautiful & roomy & a wonderful location. It was our first time staying in the Poipu area and we liked it. Two good restaurants within walking distance plus beaches about 5min walk away. Poipu is a great base location for going either north or south. Our favorite was the covered balcony....started our mornings with coffee out there after our walks. Mahalo

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this lovely and comfortable home. This unit is on the end of the building on the ground level. This allows the visitors to experience the beautifully landscaped grounds when sitting on the lanai.We all enjoyed the beautiful pool which is perfect for young and old. You will not be disappointed in choosing this home at the Villas of Poipu Kai!

Beautiful 3 bedroom condo. Perfect for a family of six adults plus a toddler. Pool, hot tub and grill right outside the front door (gated for safety). The beach a short walk away with a wagon to pull the baby, towels, chairs and beach toys. Poipu beach is great for kids and snorkeling and turtles. You will need a car. Best place for groceries is Costco near the airport.

Wonderful hosts, great communication, easy check-in, the list goes on & on! These owners thought of literally everything to make our stay more comfortable & convenient- very comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen & everything you might need for a day @ the beach (which is a 5 minute walk from the condos) - we will definitely be back!

Poipu Kai E300 made for a wonderful stay in Poipu. Property was as described and all 7 of us had plenty of room. The condo is well appointed and comfortable. The location gave us easy access to the local beaches, restaurants, shopping and attractions. We could not have been happier. The elevator to the entrance is a great plus ! No hauling luggage and groceries up a long stairway. After returning from the beach we also enjoyed the pool.

We loved every bit of our stay at this condo. The entire complex was beautiful, they accommodations inside. The condo were so comfortable and so accommodating. Great stocked kitchen, lots of beach supplies and even the bedding and towels were comforting. No doubt we will be looking to book again on our next trip to Poipu.

Great condo in excellent location. Very convenient to walk to Brennecke's Beach and Poi'pu Beach. Well stocked with beach chairs, beach towels, and wagon to make it easy. Clean and well-stocked condo. Pictures are accurate. Host was quick to reply to questions before arrival. No issues during our stay. Highly recommend.

This condo was the perfect choice for our family vacation. The condo was large enough for our family of 5 adults and one 10 year old. The grounds were beautiful. There was a paved sidewalk in a greenbelt that ran beside the condo that went from Brennecke's Beach all the way to the Grand Hyatt. The kitchen had just about any cooking utensil imaginable. There were 6 beach chairs, 2 umbrellas, sand toys, snorkel equipment, and two wagons that made for an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. Great communication with property manager. I would say here again and would adjust my trip dates to ensure renting this condo again.

Plenty of private space for 5 adults with a separate bathroom (2 full suites) for each bedroom. Living room accordion glass door opens to a beautiful 2nd floor Lanai with a beautiful view. Short walk to the beach and restaurants and access to a beautiful relaxing pool. Owners are a pleasure to communicate with before, during, and after the stay.

We were a family of 6 and this rental was perfect in every way! Walking distance to a couple of restaurant, walking distance to Brennekes and Poitou beaches, large unit with washer dryer for wet swimsuits! The beach equipment (umbrellas, boogie boards, wagon, and beach chairs) were perfect for the day at the beach! The added cooler gave us something to pack lunches and cold drinks in! Beds were super comfy! We had everything we needed! Thanks for a great place to lay our heads while enjoying the beauty of the island! We would highly recommend this rental!

Was such a luxury to have 3 full suites (bed/bath) for us and our 2 adult kids. Entire living room accordion doors open to huge lanai with big comfortable chairs (no ocean view from lanai but beautiful trees and red-headed birds). Everything was clean and bright and new. Didn't have time to use pool, but it's right there, and would be so perfect for younger kids. Short walk to beach where sea turtles congregated every afternoon. Easy parking.

We had an amazing stay in this villa with a family of 5 (3 children) and grandparents. The proximity to both pool and beach was wonderful and we loved how walkable everything was from the greenbelt right outside the door. The layout of the villa was perfect for our needs. We hope to return some day!

This Poipu Kai condo offers an unbeatable location and fantastic amenities. Situated on the ground floor, it's perfect for easy pool access and a quick seven minute stroll to the beach. We were able to wheel our beach gear, most of which was provided (the wagon itself, beach towels, sand toys, beach chairs and umbrella) to the beach. The complex is very well maintained and the neighbors were respectful with regard to noise. The pool is right outside the patio area but the plants provided plenty of privacy. The owner was very communicative and accommodating. The house was well stocked with kitchen supplies. Note that the grill is located inside the pool area and is communal, although it was maintained by staff as well. Everything within Poipu was less than a ten minute drive and there are even a few restaurants within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay. The condo was spotless at check in. It was without a doubt the most well equipped place we’ve stay at. We couldn’t get our 3 year old granddaughter out of the pool which was right out the door. It’s just a short walk down to the beach. Our family wants to return next year.

We have stayed in several of the properties within Poipu Kai over the years and this was our first at this particularly condo units and we will be back. By far our favorite! The spacious single level (no stairs especially with toddlers was so nice!!) and then with vaulted ceilings and central air, these condos are hard to beat! Also this particular unit in the ground floor close to the pool was the perfect location. Really can’t say enough great things about this condo! You won’t be disappointed.

My family absolutely loved the Villa - it was the perfect rental for our extended family of 8. The location was amazing with quick access to Poipu or Shipwreck beaches using the greenbelt path. The large balcony was a great place to unwind during the day, and for family dinners in the evening. We appreciated having access to a hot tub. All in all, we cherished our time at the Villa and would love to return one day!

We had 3 adult couples stay at Dominica’s place. It was wonderful, excellent location, easy walk to the beach, right next to the pool!! We hit Costco when we arrived and made a lot of meals at the condo. The grill area was handy. Snorkeling at Poipu beach was great! We would definitely book this place again! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven!!

So many positives. Too many to list. Our group was a family of 7 with three small kids, parents, and 2 grandparents. The kids enjoyed the bedroom including the sleep pad. The villa is very kid friendly (high chair, pack n play, toys, etc). The villa is very well finished with a nice lanai. The pool and hot tub is steps from the front door. The villa came with so many beach chairs, umbrella, toys for the kids that we could not use them all. To get to the beach you just turn left off the lanai and keep walking. About 15 mins with small kids. That beach is so fantastic for small kids. There is a little protected area on the beach that is like a 1 ft deep pool in the ocean with a sandy bottom. So great for little kids. You can also snorkel right there in the 4 ft deep area. There are also Hawaiian sea turtles that rest on the beach at this spot. We even saw a whale in the distance. If you walk off the lanai in the other direction The green belt walking path takes you to the Grand Hyatt about 10-15 min walk. The Luau there is fabulous. I had a small issue during our stay (no shampoo in the shower pump) and the owner had this resolved the same day. I highly recommend this villa if you want to stay in the Poipu area.
