Accurately described in VRBO. Great location! Clean. Updated suite. Pool was great. Partial view of the ocean. Property manager checked to determine if they could do anything else. Highly recommended.

The condo is conveniently located near the ocean, with a great snorkeling area just a short walk away. Everything in the unit was exactly as described, making our stay comfortable and stress-free. Communication with the owners was prompt and effortless, adding to the overall positive experience. We would definitely recommend this place and look forward to staying here again on our next trip to the Paradise!

Awesome location with just the right amount of space for two people. Garage parking was easy, and the place was a bit outdated but clean.

We enjoyed our stay at Prince Kuhio, as it was close to many attractions, clean, and had what we needed for our four nights there. BUT we do feel like the condo posting and information provided at checkin could be more transparent and clear. The reasons for this are detailed below.
First, this condo doesn’t have an ocean view. Yes, if you walk onto the balcony and lean over to the right, it does. But you won’t see the ocean while sitting in the room. Slightly frustrating since this was one reason we picked this unit.
Second, the unit says it comes with soap. It does not say shampoo or conditioner, to be fair, but we did (naively, I suppose) assume that it would come with this. Just one of the many annoying things to realize.
Third, the bathtub was just the smallest tub we have ever seen. Hilariously tiny, but also unusable.
Fourth, the laundry was the most expensive coin operated laundry we have ever seen at a hotel/vacation rental. We did not even realize it was coin operated because it was not clear on the posting unless you clicked to read more details. Also, when it says the laundry is open from 8a-8p, they mean that they will lock your clothing inside at 8p. The signs were not clear about this, and we did have to contact many people on our last night to get it opened since we were flying out at 5a the next day.
Some of these things could have been avoided with a more clear unit posting, which would have made the stay as expected and much more enjoyable.

Appartment complex is very nice and clean, with a beautiful Garden. Appartment itself is good, a little bit outdated, but we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Kauai. Used the beach gear a lot, which was nice. Beautiful snorkeling beach and sunset right around the corner. Easy parking. AC is noisy, but working fine.

My partner and I loved our stay here. It was nice having a full kitchen/dining table. The condo was perfect size for the two of us, with a nice size patio as well that boasted a beautiful view of greenery and the ocean. The location in Poipu is awesome! So much to do in the area including shopping and eating. The property management was great at communicating and the check in process went seamlessly. Would love to stay here again.

Very good location, ocean is across the street, so is very popular restaurant.15 min walk to the nearest mall which is really nice with plenty of restaurants. Easy parking inside the garage, comfortable room with nice views balcony, very reasonable price. Very good communication with property manager. Saw some baby roaches and shower curtain should be replaced

This property was the perfect home base for us to explore Kauai. Just the right size for a couple and just as the pictures advertised. We enjoyed the beautiful courtyard and being able to walk across the street to the little beach for sunset.

The building is steps from a small beach and close to other beaches, a short drive to Old Koloa Town and walking distance to The Shops at Kukui'ula, Spouting Horn and Allerton Garden.
The unit was as pictured. I probably would not book a studio again for 2 adults with full size suitcases - other than hangers, there isn't anywhere to unpack. This is not a criticism (the description and photos are accurate), but an FYI to others who are debating between a studio and something larger.
The positives: location in the building is excellent with a balcony overlooking green space and a side view of the ocean. Quiet and lovely to eat or have a drink outside. Small kitchen was reasonably well-equipped (so many knives!). Lots of towels. Beach chairs were a nice addition. Nice (unheated) pool. Beautiful gardens around the complex.
Suggestions for improvement: wine glasses (there were only large glass water glasses and many plastic glasses). Bathroom smelled damp all the time. No shampoo, conditioner or dish soap. Who travels with dish soap? In corresponding with the property manager about something else, she mentioned that a welcome package of coffee and cookies hadn't been left and that she would drop it off. That never happened. Why mention it if you're not going to bring it? These are small things that would have made our stay a bit nicer.
Overall, it was a pleasant place to stay in an absolutely beautiful part of the world.

The facility manager, and the owner Ann and her assistant son Ben were great to us. The studio was as clean, clean as can be and very well located. The pool was clean and the right temperature for a refreshing dip, which I took advantage of. The location was very strategic to some absolutely world class beaches. The view from our unit was good too, and we watched the sun come up from our bedroom.
Ben gave me advice on the Pohehale Beach road, and Ann sent help when I locked myself out of the unit. She was very understanding.
The facility manager does such a great job of managing the garden aspect of the resort. It is just beautiful.
There was nothing we lacked while there, and my wife and I will stay there again, with family, God willing.

The property was adequate. It had a great location. I wish there was a dresser you could unpack your clothing into and a stand for suitcases. The biggest problem was the air conditioner. When the unit was running, there was a loud vibration even when the fan speed was low. We could not use the a/c at night due to the noise(or hear the TV with the a/c on) We ran the ceiling fan and a small oscillating fan during the night. But we could still hear the a/c in the unit next to ours when it ran. It was great to be able to see the ocean from the lanai though the neighbor's TV was pretty loud when sitting out there in the am. We would probably stay here again now we know what to expect because of the price and location.

The property and pictures are described as they are. Great location. Perfect sized little kitchen. Everything was clean. The pool was very nice and well taken care of. Right across the street from the beach. It's a small beach area and very Rocky so not the best for swimming, but certainly good for any board activities.
My only complaint would be what others have mentioned, the air conditioning. We realized in Hawaii that it's just a difference in culture. In general on the island I found the AC very lacking. Even malls were "outdoor malls" that require no air conditioning. Being from Canada, this took some getting used to. But the room was kept cool by the Ac unit, it was just very loud and unfortunately right next to your head.

Its a older place but very nice,clean and great location. Parking was in a garage which was nice and was watched all the time. The only thing was its a out dated condo and if you have running air-condition all night its hard to sleep.

The condo was very clean, but the curtains had holes in them and needed replacing. The AC could not be turned down from high and was very noisy. The location is GREAT!

The description and pictures of the property are accurate. It's a bit old school but comfortable and funcional
It is located right across the street from a small beach, that does not look particularly exciting at a first glance but we saw a lot of turtles, fish and even a manta while snorkeling there
The community garden is beautiful and the area is quiet. It is located very close to Koloa and Poipu

We had a wonderful stay here. The room is small but was enough for what we needed.
The studio was clean and well organized. The view down the balcony was great!
As others have said, this is not the place for you if you can’t walk up 3 flights of stairs, if you hate being woken up by roosters in the morning, or if you have to have strong air conditioning.
The location was wonderful. You are within walking distance of great snorkeling and a marketplace with plenty of food places.
I would stay here again!

We came to stay for our honeymoon. We only needed a small space and this was perfect. Close to everything, great view, and had everything that we needed. We enjoyed the pool, grills, on-site laundry, and having the cooler! I can't think of anything that I would change honestly...except for having to leave!

From the balcony we saw historic ruins and mountains one way and the ocean the other way. The grounds and pool are beautiful. A short walk to the public beach with some of the best snorkeling on the island and/or the evening sunset. Also a quick drive to all our south and West Island destinations. Very quick repo sea from the property manager. Thanks!!

Two small things could be fixed and added.
One is glass or plastic wine glasses would be nice.
And two the toilet bowl handle kept falling off.
Otherwise stay was very nice thank you
we had a fantastic time.

The Prince Kuhio is a perfect location, conveniently located near the airport and to other parts of the island. It is right across the street from the beach with easy snorkeling access. The surrounding gardens and pool area are beautiful, very underrated! The views from the balcony are excellent - beach and palms in one direction and the mountains in the other. The roosters are indeed loud so beware and bring your earplugs! We are looking forward to our next trip and will definitely stay here again!

We spent 2 days on Kauai after a week on Maui. This unit was small but adequate for our stay. We liked that we were next to open space not another condo building. The parking garage was nearby but we wanted to park on site. The parking lot was small and backing out was a little awkward.

True studio with all you could need to prepare food. Closet and a few small drawers for clothing storage during your stay..
Property is beautiful and close to one of the best sunset watching beaches. You can hear each time the neighbors ket the door slam shut but the AC will drine it out.
Can see the ocean from your room and wild chickens are constant entertainment from the patio.
We had some communication challenges because they relay from VRBO and the property managers, but in the end, the property managers made a genuine effort to resolve and they did!

- Location! Lawai Beach was a perfect snorkel spot and dinner at the Beach House on our last night far exceeded our expectations
- Having a full kitchen, plenty of towels, and laundry pods was much appreciated
- The rooms were well insulated from heat and most noise, which made the stay restful and pleasant (no accounting for roosters!)

Bed linens not fresh as shown in photo; rod too large for drapery grommets so draperies could not be easily closed (and had been previously torn as a result); utensils just a mishmash; bed pillows old, hard and uncomfortable; bedside lamps in poor shape. Great coffee and cookies, but can get that anywhere. Photo looks MUCH nicer than the actual condo. Stayed in a much nicer two-bedroom condo for same price in Princeville, north Kauai.

Perfect size for my husband and I! This was not our first time at Prince Kuhio, but our first time in this unit. We do not spend much time in the condo when we travel to Kauai, but it had everything we needed. The Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas were a nice surprise. We mostly ate quick meals, but the kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and anything you needed if you wanted to REALLY cook. Also love when the sink/vanity area is separate from the toilet and shower... nice to have the extra space when it's just one bathroom. We even received a check-in call from the property manager to make sure everything was ok, much appreciated!
