Overall this is a great location in Poipu. The lanai is beautiful and creates a perfect place to watch sunset, sunrise and the ocean. The condo is spacious with many great amenities. Highly recommend but be aware of the below before you book: 1. This condo does not have air conditioning. We missed this in the listing and the reviews didn’t mention. Not a huge issue if you are used to sleeping in 75-80 degree rooms. During the day the condo was very warm. There are several fans but we found ourselves still warm. Sleeping was tough and being on the first floor, we did not feel comfortable leaving the patio doors open at night. I would guess the rooms were 75-80 degrees each night. 2. There is quite a bit of construction at the moment. We were made aware that the pool was being resurfaced during our stay and prepared for that. However, we did not know that many of the condos are having windows replaced and possibly other repairs. They actually replaced the windows in our condo during our stay and we were not told. Not sure if they entered our condo or replaced them from the outside, but would have liked to be notified beforehand. This also left a strong caulk/paint smell in the condo. Make no mistake, the condo is great and the location is wonderful. Just a few minor hiccups that made it less than 5 star for us.

Interior is a bit dated. Curtains to lanai had dry rot and need to be replaced. Oven was not working. Microwave display was burned out. Kitchen faucet and master bath drain needed repairs. Repairs to kitchen faucet and bathroom drain were done promptly. They were unable to fix oven or microwave. 5 stars because location is hard to beat.

Unit 113 is a charming, unassuming unit with a wonderful lanai from which to listen to the crashing waves and watch the wildlife. The beautiful azure pool and surrounding deck at the point of the property allowed for turtle watching, sunning and quick dips to cool off. What a wonderful stay. We look forward to returning.

Being able to walk out the back sliding door in the morning, sit on the lanai and experience such a beautiful place was incredible.

Very clean unit. When we weren't out and about we enjoyed spending our time sitting out on the Lanai taking in the view of the ocean and sea life. One morning while drinking our coffee we watched a pod of Dolphins jumping and surfing in on the waves. The one downfall, no air conditioning. But if not an issue for you it's a nice place to stay on Kauai.

This is my second time staying at this amazing condo. I had such a great time I brought my sisters with me this time.🌺 We spent a week of fun in the sun and touring the island.The condo is beautiful and so comfortable. We spent time lounging inside the condo, out on the lanai overlooking the beautiful ocean and time in the gorgeous pool. The condo has everything that you need for inside comfort, beach time and pool time. The only thing you need to bring is food to fill up the refrigerator. The location is perfect. It has many great restaurants and shopping centers centrally located. I can’t wait to come back.🌈🏝️

We arrived late at night and went straight to bed. When we woke up in the morning, all of us were giddy with excitement over the view. We didn’t realize how luxurious this place was going to be. The condo had all the amenities you would need for vacation. Amazing views. Did I mention the views? I brought my 82 your old mother, my 13 year old daughter, and my husband and I. There was something for all of us. My husband and daughter loved going swimming in the swimming pool every day. The whole family would go visit the turtles on the property daily. The condo is close walking distance to the mall which we frequented for dinners and shopping. Close by is also a little beach that is really quaint and perfect for families. We will definitely come visit again. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful place in paradise to come visit. We did not see a single ant :-)

This condo was incredible - the oceanfront view from the balcony and master bedroom/ bath....it's hard to put into words how amazing this view is. We saw turtles all hours of the day and were lucky enough to see dolphins in the morning. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids and it was never overly crowded. Location is perfect, with plenty of things within walking distance - stores and shopping center with a few restaurants. We can't wait to come back some day!

This was our second time here; We love staying in Elena’s condo. It is very comfortable and a true home way from home. The kitchen is well outfitted with Keurig pods, olive oil, spices, Ziploc‘s, etc. I don’t believe that there is a better located condo anywhere in Poipu/Koloa. Whalers Cove is very quiet and relaxed. Just a great place to stay.

I will start with the positives. The view was amazing! The unit itself is beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the condo well appointed. It was close to a wonderful shopping center and beach.The negatives-there is no air conditioning downstairs. When you come home mid afternoon this was rough. There are units in both bedrooms. The pillows are not comfortable. We had a major ant infestation in the upstairs bedroom in the bathroom. There was no food in that room. It was on the last day and it was in ALL of our stuff. It took over an hour to clean it out of everything and when I tried to call and get our 10 am time extended; no one answered the phone! I would not stay here again. There are so many other option on the island.

We had a wonderful stay. This is a property away from the larger resorts, and the architectural design gave us stunning views and a sense of having a very private stay. The unit itself was excellent, and even though we had a brief plumbing problem and the washer malfunctioned, the Parrish Group that manages the property were very prompt and professional in fixing them. We would definitely stay here again.

This adjoining (by the lanai) 2-unit condo was a perfect fit for our family! Plenty of room-but in the mornings for coffee & breakfast and evenings for drinks & conversation, we would all congregate in the larger unit, which fit us all comfortably! The view was absolutely gorgeous!!! Walking distance to Baby Beach and general location of condo was close to many stops & shops! The pool was beautiful, but the day we arrived the swells were so huge that the waves were crashing over the rocks and flooded the pool with sea water and sand. This caused a weeks worth of attention and work on the pool which also meant that the pool was closed until they got it back in working order. On our last full day there, they were finally able to open the pool! YAY!!! We took full advantage of it and enjoyed it for hours! All in all, we were so impressed and in love with our stay that no one wanted to leave! But really, who ever wants to leave Paradise?

We could walk everyday to Lawa'i Beach next to Beach House Restaurant. Easy access down 4-5 stairs to the unit. The manager was in contact with us through our stay and welcomed us with fresh flowers. The pool is amazing and so is the view! We would highly recommend this unit to others and hope to return soon!

There is a grassy area in front of the deck that leads to a magical pool area that was never crowded! It is central to everything but is tucked away in a private neighorhood. The only down side is there is no central air conditioning and although the trade winds blow through the grassy area it never reaches the inside of the condo. The fans in this unit were rusty/dusty and one just needed to be thrown away. I'm sure the agency will take care of it.

Unfotunately we were in Kauai with no trade winds and ninety degree temps. At some point I think air conditioning should some how be added to the condo, at least in the bedrooms. Not the fault of the property management but the unit was warm. Portable fans should be updated, and with the new carpeting, the vertical blinds in the master bedroom offered little privacy.

There are stains on the living room carpet, there were dishes and cutlery that did not appear to be clean. I don’t know if it’s the dishwasher or if they were put away dirty. There’s a foam mattress topper on the bed in the master bedroom that makes it too hot to sleep. If the unit had A/C that would be okay, but it does not. The vertical blinds in master bedroom didn’t work properly either. We have always loved staying in 113 and that’s why we chose it again for this trip. The views are beautiful, the lanai is spacious. I love that there are two chaise lounges on lanai too. I would like very much to rent this property again, but will probably wait until it’s been remodeled.

The property is in a great location, convenient to excellent snorkeling and great restaurants and shopping. The unit was very clean and spacious with wonderful views. We saw whales and turtles from the dining area and lanai. I highly recommend this unit. The swimming pool is very nice and sunsets from the lanai or back lawn were gorgeous. Our main issue was with the checkin. The unit was supposed to be available at 3pm. We arrived right around 3pm but had to sit in our car in the parking lot for about 40 minutes while the cleaners cleaned the unit from the previous guests. On top of that, our only very minor quibbles were that the water heater seems perhaps a bit small because sometimes one of us had to take a cold shower if others had showered before us and/or the dishwasher or washing machine was run recently or concurrently. A few other small things were a bit off like a broken screen on the front door when we arrived and sliding screen doors to the lanai not working properly. However, those issues were extremely minor and we had a wonderful week stay in this unit at Whalers Cove. I highly recommend this unit.

This is one magical condo. It sits just feet from a sea wall along the shore in lovely Poipu. From the main bedroom, all you see is the water, which lulled us into a deep sleep every night. The main bath’s walk-in shower boasts a huge window that brought the ocean even closer. I’m very critical of living room furniture. It has to be ample, comfy and well placed. We were not disappointed. The kitchen was nicely stocked, though plastic tumblers would have been welcome. Appreciated the beach chairs, mats, umbrella and several coolers, all in great condition. Even with no A/C, we kept cool with open windows and the living room slider. Loved the in-room safe, a nice addition. Bathrooms had great towels and ample toiletries. The main bedroom bed was a little soft for me, so if a firm mattress is a must, try one of the beds in the second bedroom. The management company was a dream to work with. Just outstanding customer service at every turn. We can’t wait to come back.

My family spent one week at this condo, and it was nothing short of amazing! After a minor glitch with rental agency calendars and a stressful hour wondering if we were actually going to get to check in and stay at Whalers Cove #113, Louis kindly sorted it all out and we were able to settle in! The unit provides so much - including beach chairs + an umbrella, boogie birds, some snorkel gear, shampoo + conditioner, etc. It is beautifully maintained, well stocked, has comfortable beds, and looks right out onto the blue sea. Sunrises and sunsets on the lanai were only topped by the sounds of waves crashing 24/7. The grounds are beautiful, and the location was great. It is a quieter, lovely, neighborhood, and walking distance to some restaurants/stores. It is 100% a place our family would choose to stay again!

We loved the condo and the snorkeling right outside the condo was a turtle paradise. We would definitely rent this condo again !

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice little condo on the south side of the island. We like the quiet here compared to the big resorts. Coffee on the lanai is one of our happy places.

This is a perfect place for a family of 4 (2 beds). We were 5 and it was fine as there is a sofa bed. I would say 6 would be tight. There is no air conditioning and it can get warm but with the balcony doors open - not a problem. Everything else is absolutely wonderful. Well stocked with much appreciated extras like laundry detergent pods and salt and pepper as well as shampoo etc. Basically thought of everything. The view is spectacular Furniture and bedding are high quality and comfortable Décor is beautiful Even Nice touches like a book on the history of movies in Kauai. Pool is nice but wish it was infinity. Short walk to shops/food. Close to Poipu beaches. Parking easy. We have stayed in excellent places around the world and this is memorable. Price is fair. Would definitely return if going back to Kauai and prefer to stay here over brand name resorts.

Fully equipped spacious condo with waterfront views, pool and Jacuzzi, and turtle watching. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Be aware of multiple high fees tacked on to basic room price.

Our first time on Kauai was better than we could have ever anticipated! We had amazing experiences each day and couldn't wait to get back to our "home away from home" at Whalers Cove #137! The amenities provided, appreciated space for our family of 4 and cleanliness of the condo made our stay very relaxing! BUT the VIEWS!!! I can't say enough about the location of this beautiful property! From the sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep each evening to our happy hours on the large lanai, watching the turtles and whales, it was very difficult to leave!! Mahalo for making our 1st of what we hope to be many more visits to the island and Whalers Cove #137 memorable!!

We had 2 adjoining condos at Whalers' cove. Both were clean & well-appointed. Beds were comfortable. The view from our lanai was gorgeous. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only negative with this property is that there is no beach. You must drive to a beach.

This condo is beautiful, comfortable, and extremely well appointed for an enjoyable stay. The property is well cared for and the views of the ocean, sea turtles, dolphins, sunrises and sunsets are amazing! Easy walk to snorkeling, nearby shops and restaurants a plus.

Whalers Cove was perfect for our first time in Kauai. The kitchen is fully stocked and the view is stunning. We could see turtles swimming from our balcony. There were 3 beach chairs for our use. I also liked that they had a drying rack. I hung our swim suits on it and placed it in front of the doors to the balcony and they were dry in no time. There is no A/C but with the breeze that comes off the water it wasn't an issue. The location is great, we could walk to the shops at Kukuiula and it's a quick drive to the Koloa village shops.

We saw the property had a safe but they would not allow the guests to use it... our other rental experiences have offered a safe. We also would have wanted four beach chairs and an umbrella. The view was fabulous and the bedrooms beautiful. We could never get the tv's in the bedrooms to work.

here was nothing Our son and daughter in law with us for a wonderful stay. I use VRBO a lot all over the world. I can not say enough about the quality and beauty of this place. I was so amazed by the amount of amenities provided. Except for our food everything was here. The kitchen bathrooms and house had everything thing and more you would need and of high quality. Cooking here was a pleasure with any pot pan or tool to do the job. Truly a 5 star place. WE will return!!!
