On Kauai's sunny south shore. Floor to ceiling windows on the lanai, for the full width of the condo facing spectacular ocean views and sounds, on the side of Kuhio Shores where the giant sea turtles hang-out, with the lanai facing the trade-winds for constant comfort. Steeped in ultra warm hawaiian decor with Koa wood and etched glass and Hawaiian art, and walking directly out to the ocean from the lanai make 106 is the "best of the best" Kuhio Shores offers.

Oyster says: "the only hotel this close to the water on all of Kauai"... It's not a hotel, but I believe the rest is correct.

Our condo is distinctive with its beautiful native artwork, shell collections, handcrafted koa woodwork throughout (cabinets, bar, trim... those who know woodwork have been amazed at the extraordinary workmanship), handcrafted etched glass and mirrors, Hawaiian style decor with a Hawaiian CD mix that provides you with a relaxing environment inducing the aloha spirit. Our condo takes you back to the time when the tropics were truly a remote adventure.

You will probably not find any residence on Kaua'i with this much Koa woodwork. Contractors have expressed amazement at the the woodworking. Add the island scenes in the etched glass and other artwork for a unique one-of-a-kind island experience.

Open the windows and listen to the ocean waves lull you to sleep.

Why settle for less than direct access to the beach? From the upper floors, beach access is through the elevators then through the parking lot... while we have direct ocean access from one of the largest lanai's at Kuhio Shores.... where you can spread-out onto the immaculately kept lawn extending towards the ocean and enjoy unconfined ocean access. Where else are you going to find the ocean at such a great price with all the comforts of home?

Located steps from the beach, Kuhio Shores provides snorkeling, scuba, surfing, swimming, biking, sunning, and beachcombing without having to get in your car or even cross the street. You are five minutes away from famous Po'ipu Beach and old Koloa town; with excellent shopping and restaurants. Spouting Horn and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens are less than 5 minutes down the road. Kukui'ula Village (restaurants and shopping) is a five minute walk.

(Note that I'm getting booking requests for winter >24 months in advance, so have blocked those dates currently, and give priority to repeat guests. Come August/September (16 months ahead), I'll solidify that schedule, and open what remains for all.)

Kuhio Shores 106 is a great location! This one bedroom (plus a couch-bed), one bath, unit will be your home away from home.

Ho'ai bay, right off the lanai, is known as some of the best snorkeling on Kauai. Snorkel with the turtles and the colorful tropical fish, just steps away from the lanai (watch the video above, snorkeling with the turtles off the condo).

From the lanai you can enjoy the view across to the Ha'upu mountain range, or the sunrise on the bay, or looking out onto the ocean, watching the waves, sailing ships, dolphins jumping, or whales breaching in the distance, and the near constant stream of turtles that come within 20' of your feet to the edge of the bay to feed... all relaxing from your lounge on the lanai, sipping your morning coffee.

The lanai faces East, so the lanai is shaded from the afternoon sun, and the ocean trade winds from the East keep the condo nice and cool year round.

Kuhio Shores 106 provides the following amenities:

o Ground floor for easy beach access
o Netflix on-demand streaming video
o King bed in the bedroom
o Queen hide-a-bed in the living room
o Fully Equipped kitchen with Kashmir granite counter tops
o Plantation shutters across the lanai for privacy with ocean sounds and breeze
o Koa wood shutters in the bedroom
o Hawaiian style decor with etched art designed mirrors and glass
o Double shower head
o High speed internet access
o Stereo and CD player with built in wall speakers
o Two cable TVs one with VCR/DVD combo, one with DVD/Blu-Ray player
o Movie, CD, and Book collection
o Beach gear (ice chest, boogie board, beach chairs and mats, beach towels, and umbrella)
o Shared washer and dryer on every floor
o Shared, well-kept, barbeque grills

Love being able to look out and see and hear the ocean.



November 2023
The property was well maintained, clean and beautifully decorated with a Hawaiian theme. The views were spectacular and exceeded our expectations. The property manager kept in touch, and provided detailed information about the condo, local restaurants and attractions. We highly recommend this property.

The lanai offers a perfect vantage point to enjoy the sunrises in the mornings then throughout the day you’ll find the sea turtles feeding in the bay. The condo was neat, clean, and very comfortable to relax in, while the centralized location made it easy to explore different beaches - some within walking distance and others just minutes away. The owners were very responsive! Chris shared a wealth of information about the island before our trip and made sure all our questions were answered. We will definitely be staying here again!

We had the best time here. We only had 3 days which is not enough to enjoy everything in the area. However, we managed to golf, snorkel, walk to Sheraton and Shops at Kukuiula, and eat at Beach House restaurant right next door. Best of all we enjoyed the turtle viewing off the lanai and the best sunsets steps away. The condo is equipped with anything you may need, from cookware to beach toys.

The property was perfect for our first stay ever in Kauai. The property manager went above and beyond with communicating with us and dealing with any issues that arose. He also gave us many helpful recommendations to improve our stay. We are incredibly grateful that we lucked out and got to rent this property, because of the property itself, and the property owner. If you have a chance to rent this property, do it, you will not be sorry.

This condo is in a great location near snorkeling and surfing. The patio faces East so great for watching the sunrise and sitting in the evening without direct sun. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, and a cooler that we used. The bed is comfortable and the AC works well if you feel like you need it. Just be aware that if you have others in your party that stay up later or get up early, there is frosted/etched glass between bedroom and hall/living room so you will get the light from the living space into the bedroom. The owner is very responsive and gives lots of information about the unit and area. It is roughly an hour to Waimea Canyon, 20 min to Lihue, 40 min to Kapaa and 1 to 1 1/2 hours to things along the north shore. Less than 10 min to Poipu. Would definitely stay again!

Photos do the property justice but what cannot be quantified was how receptive the host Chris was. Every question was answered darn near immediately and I was given updates on what was happening on Kauai while I was there. Couldn't ask for better communication. Chris even worked with his cleaner after I left an airpod under the bed. I was able to pay his cleaner via Chris and my airpod got promptly mailed back to me. The property itself also can't be beat. Want to see turtles after taking one step out the back door? This place has you covered. We stopped going to the beaches as our back deck had a better view and was far more peaceful. When Chris warns you about the Poipu Parrots... heed the warning. Don't park under the trees or you'll be hosing off an unholy amount of parrot poop before you rental car paint gets destroyed. All in all I would stay here again without hesitation.

We loved the condo (all of the little things included were really helpful, like beach chairs and hiking sticks) and condo complex. Wonderful southern Kauai location, just minutes from unobstructed sunrise or sunset views, or juat stay on the property to watch either come up/go down over just a small sliver of island. Awesome sea turtle watching location. Surfing most evenings on the beach house side of the complext. I can't say enough good things about the property and its location.

We loved our stay at this condo. The owner was attentive and wonderful with giving us pointers on different locations to visit and great places to eat as well as Cecking in to make sure all was good. The bed was comfortable. We would definately stay here again! Love love love!

Absolutely beautiful condo community. The worleys had everything we could possibly need and we were able to fully enjoy our stay without needing to make extra outtings for travel accessories. The condo is beautiful, a tour of Kauai culture in itself. We just loved sitting on the patio and watching the turtles in the waves and rocks. It is definitely one of our top 5 traveling experiences. Mahalo to Chris and family!

Felt at home. Process was so easy. Tips from Chris on local eateries was great. We’d like to add the Cabana Bar and Grill at the Athletic Club. Excellent pot stickers, good burger and margaritas. Service staff were welcoming and attentive. We made some fabulous memories.

First of all, the owner is super communicative and clearly wants to make sure that the people who rent the condo have everything they need. They were happy to answer any questions we had and give us suggestions on things to do and places to see. When we walked in, there was hawaiian music playing as the breeze filled the space with the island breeze we have come to love during our stay. The pictures can't even do the condo or the view justice... and the attention to detail and respect for hawaiian culture shines through. The sound of the oceans calming waves soothed us to sleep every night and we didn’t even have to turn on the AC while we were there due to the wonderful trade winds. We saw sea turtles right from the lanai, watched the sunset from the property, and enjoyed watching the sunrise almost daily. There is beautiful local art all around the condo, and it' centrally located so that we were able to go on countless adventures during our stay. We cannot recommend this unit enough, book it!

Poipu is within 20 mins from most attractions. Condo is located near a beach which is popular for snorkeling. Condo is nicely decorated. It had all required pots and pans, basics like sugar, salt, coffee. Shutters are nice as it kept the morning sun out. Nights were pleasant in backyard. Chris had sent us very detailed communication, shared photos and what to expect. It helped settle down quickly. We had an amazing stay. I highly recommend this condo

Still can’t believe how incredibly beautiful this condo and property was. Every detail was perfect and having the beautiful ocean just steps from the condo was a dream come true. The property owner has provided a showplace for enjoyment and comfort. I will definitely recommend this property to others and I myself will plan to be back. Thank you!

Very nice spacious condo. This was just our second week on the island. First week was with the whole family. This was as advertised. Out the lanai and there was the waves. Great snorkeling on the other side of unit. 10 minutes walk to shopping and all sorts of food. For us this area was a bit full of people. While there were waves there was also cars and people always near by all the time. For the price this was a perfect stay, close to all south shore has to offer without the resort fees and families everywhere.

Everything about this place was spectacular. One of the best things we appreciated was the owner’s attention to detail and willingness to advise us on what to do/where to go. We followed his advice and experienced things we would not have done otherwise. I highly recommend staying here.

This condo is ideal in location and the best spot for snorkeling and sunsets. The condo was comfortable and spacious and incredibly clean and well stocked. We had a rainy day but enjoyed the many movies that were provided. Check in was very easy and the view is unbeatable. Chris was an amazing host and offered many recommendations that we used. If you can get a booking I would highly recommend staying here!

We loved sitting on the lanai watching turtles and whales in the morning. Good location, well planned condo and smooth communication with a very kind and attentive and kind owner.

Everything about our stay was perfect. From booking to checking out and beyond. I cannot recommend this place enough. We had an amazing 7 days here. We had 3 major tours planned and the rest we played by ear. The hosts provided is an extensive list of recommendations of things to do, sites to see, snorkeling sites. There is a very detailed document provided at time of booking that provided all information that we needed. We ended up eating in most of the time. We had a hard time just leaving the condo. It was such a beautiful view all day. We watched the most amazing sunrises, the turtles play peekaboo throughout the day, and walked around the building for beautiful sunsets and watching the sunset surfers. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the safe was easy to use. The condo was clean and comfy. Our hosts were extremely commutative and even helped with understanding the local forecasts for planning our tours. If we come back to this island we will 100% see if this rental is available. Thank to our hosts for going above and beyond even after checkout when we lost our keys (which we finally found in a hidden pocket in our backpack the 3rd time going through it). He checked the safe a couple times for us even though we were already on the mainland. We are extremely grateful for the hospitality, graciousness, and thoughtfulness of our hosts!!! Mahalo Rayanne & David Perry

We LOVED our stay at this beautiful condo. We sat on the lanai and watched the turtles surf in with the many waves. The Condo was lovely, just like the photos! The kitchen had everything you could think of (it felt like home). We will definitely be back and extend the stay next time!

You can't beat Kuhio Shores location and the condo's price! Best sunsets on the island and swimming with sea turtles daily! We loved and appreciated the authentic Hawaiian Koa wood and etched glass decor, comfortable king size bed, and all the beach gear. The condo was fully stocked with everything you would need and we really liked the sound system. Chris was quick to respond to questions before and during our stay. I REALLY appreciated the binder with instructions/information on the electronics in the condo. Chris, thank you for everything! You made us feel so welcomed and at home! This was my second stay at Chris' condo and it won't be the last!

Wonderful location. Unit receives morning sun (quite warm some days to sit outside on patio) so great views of the cove. Unit could use some updating - it is decorated in traditional, local art. Really appreciated the owner supplying some basics like paper products, soap (bath and dish), coffee and filters, etc. helps so much when you are there for a short time. We could hear quite a bit of movement and activity from the floor above, but it was generally during non-sleeping hours! Owner also gave great suggestions for activities after check out.

Ground floor with easy walk to view surfing or to swim, ocean waves and turtles right outside the door, snorkeling on both sides of the condo building, pre-programmed relaxing music in the unit. Being on the shady side, we could enjoy open door and ocean breeze much of the time. Decorations are fun and tropical. We will look to stay again and recommend to friends.

This rental was one of the nicest units we’ve ever stayed in. It was beautiful inside and out. It was decorated with original Hawaiian decor and art. It was spacious and fully equipped with everything you could need. Right outside the glass doors was the ocean. The views both during the day and at moonlight was spectacular. We loved relaxing on the lanai and listening to the ocean and watching the surfers. I highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed.

Fairly priced and the check in process is thorough and convenient. The bonus value to the stay is truly the wonderful hosts...they are extremely welcoming and super responsive. Excellent communicators thru our current remote world, but it felt like they were our Kauai guardian angels even before we landed. Sized ideally for 1-3 guests, but we made it work with 4, especially if everyone stretches out some by using the lanai (which is easy to do in the afternoon shade/breeze watching sea turtles).


Carol M.

We had an excellent, relaxing vacation and we’re impressed with all the detailed wood in the condo and tapestries etc! A huge bonus was unexpected very high surf!!

We absolutely loved this place for our honeymoon! Really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony and watching the sea turtles swim. Great location for beaches and the canyon. Host was very helpful, he even went out of his way to give us detailed instructions and even a phone call to help plan our time here! The beach he suggested was our favorite. Thank you!! And I will definitely stay here again if ever get lucky enough to come back!

Our stay in Condo 106 was perfect! The ocean view cannot be beat and the location was convenient. The condo is decorated beautifully and fully equipped and we felt at home during our visit. The access to beach gear was much appreciated! The host, Chris, was so responsive and provided great recommendations that made our stay that much better. I highly recommend and plan to return.

Kuhio Shores 106 was fabulous. We went to celebrate our 40th Anniversary and the Worley property was perfect for us. The location had a spectacular view of the turtles feeding, a beautiful sunrise and a short walk to snorkeling, hiking and a gorgeous sunset right around the corner. Perfect home away from home. A big mahalo to the Worleys.

Beautiful setting outside the lanai and well equipped condo with plenty of kitchen and beach gear. The king size bed was also extremely comfy. I only wish I had booked more nights so we could have had a little more beach time. Every evening all the surfers were outside the back of the building. And there were two weddings at the restaurant next door. Chris checked in to see if we needed anything and had some great recommendations as well. A great stay.

From the moment you walk into this condo, your breath is taken away. The views are amazing. The check in process was easy. We never had any issues with parking. Chris was wonderful to work with. He checked in with us to make sure everything was perfect. He was quick to respond to any questions we had. The condo had everything you needed for your stay in Kauai. The condo itself was beautiful. The bed was very comfy. We cooked several meals at the condo and ate on the oceanfront lanai, listening to the waves crashing and the Hawaiian music Chris has on the iPad hooked up to speakers. Every afternoon the turtles and seals would make their appearance. We made sure we were home before sunset to make our Pina Colodas and walk around the corner of the condo to the best sunsets on the island. They were spectacular. We are already planning our next stay!

Before I get to the condo I have to say that Chris was beyond helpful from answering questions to providing information I didn't even know I needed! Now the property. Um, WOW does not cover it. The complex is very well maintained, clean and literally feet from the ocean. Parking was never an issue. The condo is on the 1st floor steps from the entrance and parking. There are carts to load all of your things from your car to the condo. We used them often. Getting into the condo was so easy with the keyless entry and no worries about taking keys with you anywhere! And when you open the door, our breath was taken away. Not with just the view, that is a given, but the condo is so beautiful with the carved (solid wood) doors and etched glass in unexpected places. Everything from the shell art piece and decorations were wonderful to admire. Everything you have at home you have at the condo. It felt like home to us. My husband didn't know how to turn on the TV, but Chris has a notebook in the condo that explains everything. I just looked up how to run the TV & cable & voila, he had his football game! We cooked our meals at home and ate out on the lanai watching the ocean. Our first morning before 9 am, we seen sea turtles, a monk seal & whales breaching off shore! This was almost a daily experience which I never expected! The sunrise & sunsets were so pretty. We did not want to leave the condo as it was that quiet, peaceful & relaxing. Big Save for groceries in Koloa Town & a cute shopping complex within walking distance. Snorkeling out front or right next door to the restaurant. Our 5th time to Kauai and by far the best place we have stayed. Thank you Chris & Becky for sharing your most extraordinary home.

The condo was wonderful, a little dated but equipped with everything you need. The owners were very communicative throughout and had lots of local tips and recommendations. You can turtle watch right outside on the patio. Waves were really rough when we were there so not sure if it is snorkel-able. It's very rocky so might be a tricky climb down. We were 3 guests, but the condo is best suited for 2. Definitely need a car. Beware of the poipu parrots who have taken over the parking lot.

If you want to stay down south, this is an outstanding condo. It is beautifully decorated with local art, bed is super comfy, there are plenty of beach amenities, and you can’t beat the fact the ocean is literally outside your back door with a snorkeling beach a walk away. Chris couldn’t have been more helpful as a host. He provided everything I needed and was extremely accessible. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Chris's condo. He was so responsive to my many questions and helped from start to finish. The condo was as described- bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed the convenience of all of the extra beach gear like chairs, umbrella, cooler. Reading and watching turtles from the lanai was a highlight for us. We would recommend this place hands down.

Aloha! We stayed here for 8 nights and it was the most beautiful place to have our honeymoon! The ocean wave sounds right out your door and not to mention the views at this property are what people come to this beautiful island for! We loved every second of it. The location is perfect too! Lots to do and lots to see in either a short drive or a nice walk with your partner/family/friends. I can’t wait to come back one day and stay here again! Mahalo! 🌺

This was a great condo in a perfect location. My 5 year old enjoyed exploring the water/beach area at the condo in the evenings. He caught lizards and admired the turtles swimming. The inside was just as pictured and included everything we needed for a wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at this condo. It was exactly as advertised. The owner of the condo was super communicative and helpful. The location was ideal and the views are just amazing. We spent hours on the lanai just watching the turtles in the water. And just on the other side of the building we would watch surfers. I would highly recommend.

The view was stunning! Property was in a lovely area, up close and personal to the beach and walking distance to the shopping center. Although we didn't use the beach equipment their was certainly plenty to use. Kitchen fully stocked with cooking equipment. Chris replied in a timely manner to questions and prepped us in an email about the safe travels, gave us local recommendations for restaurants and fruit stands, and information about the road closure up north. We will definitely rebook when we visit again!
