Our Moku Hale, or “Island Home,” is peacefully nestled on the Kiahuna Golf Course with stunning views from each private lanai; the front lanai has a picturesque view of the lush mountains and golf course, while the large back lanai has an expansive view of palm trees and the Pacific Ocean, as well as a breathtaking view of sunsets and whales breaching during the winter months, while summer months hold perfect sunny days with tropical breezes. The #1 rated beachfront on the island, Poipu Beach, is a short walk from your suite, with the Poipu Shopping Village just five minutes away in the same direction making this happily situated condo (12C) at Pili Mai an ideal location for your visit to Kaua’i. Pili Mai 12C is a single level condo located on the second floor and unlike most of the other suites that have one long flight of stairs to the front door with no front lanai, 12C has a private entrance with stairs that have a landing every few stairs. Enjoy private access to the entry lanai from the ground floor near the dedicated single car parking stall with additional parking nearby. Your family will have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy themselves with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a comfortable family room, adjacent dining area, two spacious lanais, and a large and fully stocked gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with Bosch appliances, including a dishwasher; your own private washer and dryer are also in-home.

The master bedroom has a dedicated En Suite bathroom with dual sinks, walk in shower, walk in closet, and flat screen Smart-TV. The 2nd master bedroom has a queen size bed and a dedicated En Suite bathroom as well. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds. An additional Smart-TV is in the family room and High-speed internet is accessible throughout. All this while enjoying the comfort of A/C, a hard-to-find commodity in Poipu.

The place was beautiful, clean and perfectly stocked and ready. Greets location near the beach and great food! The management company went out of their way to make it easy. The connected us with someone to advise and book our excursions. They had restaurant recommendations and were always prompt in answering questions. HIGHLY recommend to anyone!! Mahalo!!

Our trip to Kauai was amazing and the unit at Pili Mai set the tone for the entire trip. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the beauty in and around this area. I Can't wait for our next trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was perfectly stocked and clean as can be. The only downside was the daily presence of painters outside each morning (although they were very professional and courteous). I would highly recommend this property!

We had a 5 night stay and wish it was longer. Gorgeous house with all the needed amenities. Very nicely maintained and very clean. Short walk to the pool. This is not a first floor entry, so be aware if you have mobility issues.

This property was beautiful. It was less spacious than the other condos I have rented at Pilimai but it was still a nice space to spend time with friends.

Very comfortable accomodations. We were a group of 8: 4 adults, 2 kids, a toddler and a baby. We had place for everyone and a kitchen where we could prepare food comfortably. Nothing felt like it was far away.

My family of 5 stayed for 5 nights over Thanksgiving week. The condo is very comfortable and met our needs in every way. It's conveniently located to all of the sites and activities we wanted to do on the south side and not too far of a drive from the rest of the island. One minor opportunity for improvement is to upgrade the WiFi throughout the condo. It didn't work very well in the bedrooms or patio. But that was a minor inconvenience. We can't wait to go back and would definitely consider staying here again. Mahalo!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Outstanding rental, entire family wanted to extend our stay. Beautifully landscaped complex with good pool, clubhouse and workout facilities. Located approximately 1.3 miles form Poipu Beach, an easy drive. Beach parking was free and available making it easy to cart our beach chairs and toys. 3 br, 3 ba unit with plenty of room. Unit well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of local restaurants and shops nearby. Weather was great on the South Shore where this unit is located. Management company provided all the service we needed making checkin and checkout a breeze. They also had a concierge service that arranged a few activities for us and provided recommendations. Would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this unit to others. The only downside to the unit which is universal to the entire island are the loud roosters roaming the entire island crowing at all hours of the day (and night). Also, if you are looking for a certain restaurant for a special occasion, make sure to make reservations far in advance.

Very clean and had most things we needed. Good location in Poipu. The pool was a perfect place to hang out when we didn’t want to venture out. My only complaint would be that we had a very aggressive downstairs neighbor who kept complaining about our children’s footsteps during non quiet hours. We have preschool aged children so it was impossible to appease this woman. If you have children or heavy feet, you may want to consider a ground floor unit. Other than that, really great stay.

We had a great time. The location of the condo was great and really loved the included extra beach toys, chairs, and umbrella. The property was very nice and condo was very clean with a wonderful view!

The property was lovely. The beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, floated, etc were wonderful. We were, however, without kitchen linens which did hamper our kitchen activities somewhat and the air conditioning did not seem to reach the front bedroom. It stayed quite warm no matter how we tried to cool it. We had a great time on Kauai.

We needed a three bedroom condo for this trip and were delighted with Pili Mai 12C. Every day we found things that we needed: beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, soap for the washing machine, and great equipment in the kitchen. Thanks to the owners for being so thoughtful!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pili Mai 12C was a great place to stay! Three bedrooms and 3 bathrooms gave us all ample space. I traveled with my daughter and two grandchildren under 3. The unit was spacious and had every amenity we needed. They even supplied a play pen for the baby. The garage had beach necessities of chairs, umbrella, boogie boards,sand toys and swim fins. The garage space was too tight for the large Explorer we rented, but there was ample parking outside. The unit came equipped with all the amenities of home ie, fully equipped kitchen, reading material, 2 TVs,lovely lanai etc. We did notice the slider door didn't lock, but it was fixed the same day it was reported. Suggestions to make it even better? Get some extra padding on the mattresses for comfort,the kitchen could use a non stick skillet for pancakes and a flipper. I didn't like the cookware. Everything stuck to the pans. I also suggest checking the AC unit as it " clunked" coming on and off. I'm sure it's an easy remedy. The pool was lovely, but watch the flooring around the pool as it was exceptionally slippery. The grounds were very quiet even though it was still under construction. I did have to stink eye some construction crew who were using expletives while at the pool overheard by guests. All in all though, I give Pili Mai a total thumbs up to any traveller. We would definitely stay here again. This is much better than doing a hotel stay. The location was prime for getting to island adventures.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the unit. Beautiful and stocked well. The stairs were a little bit of a surprise (2 flights). Although we had to drive to the beach it was no trouble and a very nice beach. There was a nice deli at the beach for lunch and snacks. The pool was nice but surrounded by new construction going on all around it with noise and workers everywhere. There is plenty of options for dinner and shopping close by. We would return when the construction is completed.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Pili Mai and loved the complex. Even with the complex still under construction there was no noise the bothered us and the workers were pretty friendly. Unit 12C was nice however with sleeping for six there wasn’t ample seating for six. The couch in the living room was not very comfortable and could use with a wrap around couch so everyone could sit comfortably. Also there dining room only had 4 seats so tough if you have more than that staying there. It would’ve been nice to have a patio table with chairs for enjoying dinner outside watching the sunset. There was a car parked in the garage but thankfully we had a larger car that wouldn’t have fit in the garage anyway but would’ve been an inconvenience if we had a smaller car and couldn’t park in the garage. A beach umbrella to use would be good but thankfully the rental place near Poipu Beach was cheap. All in all we liked the place and would possibly stay here again.

Our family of 4 adults and 2 friends stayed from August 5 - 11 in Pili Mai 12C. It was the perfect place for our Kauai experience! It is brand new and exactly like the pictures portray - except it is a lot larger. The bedrooms are each so private and have their own bathroom. The condo is so clean and well maintained. It is stocked with everything you need: hair dryers, all the bathroom products, washer and dryer with detergent, the kitchen is completely stocked with seriously everything! There are plush beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards in the garage and coolers to use for picnics on the beach. The beds are comfortable, the air conditioner and fans keep the temperature perfect, the smart TV's work with your own Netflix account - not that we watched TV much because there is so much to do and experience on Kauai. There are shops very close for any immediate needs and fun places to eat. Poipu Beach is an easy 10 minute walk away, and an even quicker drive! There is construction all around the property but was not an inconvenience in any way. I never heard a thing from it - just the roosters! It will be even more perfect when the pool opens. Which, I understand, should be any day. If anyone has a larger party - 6 people - this is where you should stay. I have already recommended it to more than one person and we will 100% stay again! Pili Mai 12C might be one of our favorite things about Kauai! Seriously the best!!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pili Mai 12C May 24-June 1, 2017. It is a brand-new condo with everything in perfect condition, well stocked with our every need. The most luxurious part is the three bathrooms. The master bath is particularly large, with two sinks, a separate toilet, and big shower. There is plenty of hot water and the air conditioning is cold. There are lots of towels, including six large beach towels. The deck is a great spot for eating breakfast and reading. A short drive away is Poipu beach, great for snorkeling and paddle boarding. There are lots of great places to eat nearby. I recommend Da Crack and acai bowls in the little grocery store right next to Da Crack. If you like Mexican food, you must go to Tortilla Republic or to the more casual cantina below it. Great place to stay, super comfortable and convenient!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I stayed in 12C for 10 nights. I was most impressed by the spaciousness of the condo, it's bigger in person than in the pictures and the view to the beach is unobstructed and one of the best views in the neighborhood. The condo and surrounding property are safe, quiet and classy. I slept on more then one bed and found them all comfortably firm and the pillows were perfect, best sleep in years. The kitchen had an adequate quality blender, good knives and a tea pot, which was nice. I could tell the owners take good care of the property and want their guests to be comfortable by offering a good variety of benefits, like a well stocked kitchen, plenty of bath towels, laundry, beach towels, beach chairs, a 1000 piece puzzle (so fun) and even books to read. The property manager's taste in toilet paper was rough, so buy your own TP if you like Charmin. I walked to Poipu beach (20 minutes) and ate at several places within walking distance. I rented a surf board from Nukumoi surf shop for $6/hr and found the best waves for beginners to the west of the rocks at Nu Kumoi Point.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed the perfect stay at Pili Mai PoiPu 12C! The condo had a nice home atmosphere which matched perfectly with its name Moku Hale (Hawaiian for Island Home). It had everything our family group needed and more. The condo is beautifully furnished, comfortable, and extremely clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed including all of the essentials like towels, dishes, pot/pans, cooking spices and had classy Bosch appliances. The rooms were very comfortable and nicely spaced from each other. We loved the view from the back balcony, great place to watch ocean waves and relax. The pictures are close to accurate, though I would say the place is bigger then what they depict. The condo is fully equipped with air conditioning, wifi, full size GE washer and dryer, DVD player and 2 Smart TVs (so we could watch our Netflix/Amazon Prime). It was the little details and amenities that really set this place above others and made us feel welcome. We appreciated the provided Tommy Bahama beach chairs, cushy beach towels, and I did enjoy a couple of the books stocked in the TV cabinet. The condo is situated near the beach, shopping centers and great restaurants, yet just far enough away to feel peaceful and private. I was a little hesitant to stay due to the lack of reviews (it is a new condo), but have no problem giving high recommendations to all of my family and friends (plus all of the random strangers reading this). You won't be disappointed in this condo, it is truly stunning! In addition, Josh was easy to work with and very responsive. If I ever make it back to Kauai I will not hesitate to stay here again.
