We loved the views from the 2nd floor balcony. The crashing waves and the sea turtles were the highlight of our stay.

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.

Amazing week in Kauai with our home base in Poipu. Favorite aspect of rental is view and sound of waves just below our balcony. Sea turtles everywhere in view, both from pool (which we loved) and condo. Place was spacious enough for my husband, two teenage children and myself. Everything needed for beach (towels/chairs/cooler) provided. We will be back!

This property has an amazing location where you can see whales jumping in the ocean from your window. You also often see turtles in the cove while at the swimming pool. It is very nice to get to see so much and just listen to the ocean from the room. The place was also kept very clean and had good facilities to use. We felt that the bed in the master bed room was comfortable and the ones in the guest bed room were fine. The place is very nice, the only possible improvements that I saw were that the amount of hot water when taking a shower was quite limited. We did have the exact same experience in other places we have stayed at Poipu shores. Also, some of the kitchen accessories supplied could be better. For example, there were only 4 spoons supplied and so we had to run the dishwasher a lot. This is nothing big but it could be improved.
Outside of that however, the place is extremely nice and we would definitely stay there again!

We like Poipu Shores. Saw a group of about 70 spinner dolphins from the lanai. Glad that oil, vinegar and spices were available in the kitchen. The kitchen needs a few more cereal bowls (there were only three), but is otherwise well-stocked. AC, fans, lights and showers all worked well. Liked the system of getting into the condo with a code rather than a key.

- Great location: It is <10 min walk to Poipu beach. There are restaurants within 5 mts drive.

We had fun in Kauai unfortunately the condo was not as nice or comfortable as reflected online in the pictures 😔 Its location has an awesome ocean view and is a 5 minute walk from some restaurants, hotels and beaches. There are also two great outdoor shopping centers within 2 miles of the condo.

This place was overall very nice, but the back bedroom is exposed to night-time A/C noise and light from the hallway. A heavy blind could work wonders. Other than that, we are completely satisfied with our stay and would be very happy to visit again. Thanks to all for maintaining such a nice property!

We have stayed at Poipu. shores 2 times before this visit. In building B. Little did we know of the gem A building is west of unit 5. OMG the sunsets were phenomenal. Never had to leave our lanai. The waves beating against the rocks were better than any sound machine. The turtles, whales and dolphins entertained us.
The unit itself is well appointed and stocked. I would suggest checking in before grocery shopping to avoid duplicate/unnecessary purchases. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Beach equipment includes chairs, boogie boards, snorkel/fins and beach toys.
The unit is lovely but small. I wouldn’t recommend 4 Adults, max 2 adults and 2 children.
An A+ and highest ratings for this unit!!

Came here with our 8 year old and the location was stellar. You can walk to Brennecke or Poipu beach, and shops are just a short drive away. Property manager was very responsive - delivered us a beach chair early the next day when we discovered one of the ones they provided was broken. The condo is well stocked although it could use a few more big plates. The space was clean and mostly updated. Guest shower tub could use an update, but nothing egregious. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

I have been staying at Poipu Shores since 2006 when my wife and I began renting one of the condos there, but always on the ground floor of the A building; even after my wife died in 2016, I continued to rent a building A ground floor condo at Poipu Shores, with the exception of 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic. So this year I ended up renting 206A because of the “spalling” that was being done to 103A, my original reservation for 2022. I found 206A to be very nicely appointed and comfortable, but I am spoiled by the outside spaciousness of the ground floor units where your lanai merges out into the grass and I found the deck of 206A was too narrow and small, even though it has a great view. Also, the ice maker in 206A was not working and when I mentioned that to the property manager for 206A, he responded with something to the effect “…there are ice cube trays available.” There were ice cube trays available and I had to use them, but that was the first time in all the years I have rented at Poipu Shores that I did not have a functioning ice maker. Also, the instructions in the unit directory for how to use the big TV in the living room are useless: one of my friends staying in another unit had to come in and help me get the living room TV to work with the cable system; after that, it worked just fine. One more item I had difficulty with was all of the drawers in the three weird chests-of-drawers in the guest bedroom stick terribly and are all difficult if not impossible to open and close. Other than these three things, I was very satisfied with my stay in 206A.

Unit A206 was awesome. Our own spouting horn right outside patio. View was unbelievable. Clean
Only negative would be the parking. We had a handicap tag and times there were no spaces(only 3) and they were to narrow to park and get out of car. If you park outside the lines so all can access the car they will give you a warning on windshield.
Plan on returning to same facility asap

We stayed here over Christmas so expected to pay a surcharge. That being said, it is clear that this property was hastily "updated" in order to list as a higher end property. It is not. The kitchen was updated with some sort of treatment to the countertops, replacing the sink and painting old cabinets. The appliances are older and the stovetop is finicky. Similar situation in the bathrooms. The flooring is new and the furniture in the condo is a nice Hawaiian style, but UNCOMFORTABLE and WAY TOO LARGE for the space. It would help a lot to replace the table and all of the living room furniture with furniture that is of a more suitable size so that everything doesn't feel so cramped and hard to move around. Also, the patio doors should be replaced; the screens are continuously coming off the tracks. A narrow bar type table running the length of the balcony and more chairs would make the balcony feel larger and would allow more than 2 people to sit out there at one time. The view and location are amazing. We watched whales, turtles and dolphins from the balcony. Its a quick walk to both Poipu beach and Brennecke's and just slightly longer to Shipwreck. A few upgrades (and additional dishes, flatware) would really make this property stand out. As it is, I would stay somewhere else next time.

This unit was stocked with everything we needed from kitchen to bath to the beach. The management company helped with arranging groceries before we arrived and reserving a boat tour. The condo was within walking distance to Poipu beach and closeby restaurants. We loved hearing and watching the crashing ocean waves right from our balcony and so convenient for sunset. The only downside was the warm temperature of the second bedroom. You need to leave the doors open and the A/C turned down in the common area for cool air to circulate into that bedroom. There was a ceiling fan and floor fan that really helped. Overall a fabulous vacation!

This is to help the next guests/ family...
1) Dirty floor/ surfaces: When we got inside the unit, we instantly discovered the floor was dirty (there are dirt residues, stain throughout the unit; we took our shoes off and our feet felt dirty right away; much dirtier
than our home a few thousand miles away; looked like they just came in and took out the trash and washed the dishes; toilet in master bed was also dirty)
2) Unwashed pillows/linens: There were stain on pillows and bed sheets with smell (yes, we know they were not changed; we stay frequently at 4+ star hotels and know what fresh linens feel, smell, and look like)
3) Parking permit problem: property manager did NOT tell us we need to get a parking permit; it was not mentioned in email; not mentioned in pre-arrival communication; they make sure we got the negative covid test with QR code from Hawaii safe travel site; they did not make sure we got our parking permit; my car could have been towed; we got a warning citation the next morning telling us they might tow our car
4) Property manager was helpful and responsive:
The manager, after listening to our concern, promptly sent people over to clean up the unit (floor, linens, new linens) the next day; we also got the parking permit the next day delivered to our unit; thank you!
5) Hope this review help our next guests, relatives, friends
