Located on a picturesque lava bluff, our top floor condo offers privacy, cooling trade winds and panoramic ocean vistas which a camera can't begin to capture.
Crashing waves, migrating whales and sunrise/sunset views are what you'll see as you relax on the lanai or in the living space. Our unit is a spacious 2 bedroom, + loft, 2.5 bath with over 1100 sq. ft. of living space. Each bedroom has a queen size bed, fully private en suite bathroom and ceiling fan. There is additional square footage and sleeping space in the well appointed loft which has two twin beds. The twin beds can be converted to one king size bed upon request. An additional air mattress and twin bed mattress is also available. Porta crib and toddler chair are also provided if needed.
The unit is designed to maximize privacy with the living and dining space on the first level, bedrooms on the second level and loft on the third level.

A short ride or doable walk from the condo provides more surfing, snorkeling and wave boarding opportunities.

Lovely, roomy, comfy condo. Well equipped in kitchen as well as beach gear. Almost no need to leave as view from deck is mesmerizing. Walk to Brennecke, Poipu, and Shipwreck beaches. Hoping to stay here again.

We absolutely loved this condo!! The host was amazing at suggesting everything to do, see and eat in the area. The condo is spacious, clean and there was champagne and snacks waiting for us upon checkin. Although no AC, sleeping with the windows open and listening to the waves was so so peaceful. You can walk to Poipu beach to snorkle and see the sea turtles, you can walk to food and coffee, as well as jump on the beautiful heritage trail, that takes you to the Hyatt Beach and to some cliffs with amazing ocean views. You are smack in the middle of Waimea canyon and Hanalei beach, one hour in opposite directions. We saw whales from our balcony and enjoyed every morning on the porch. I would absolutely stay here again!

Excellent location. Was centrally location to most activities that we did. The view is stunning! You hear the waves crashing against the rocks and see the splashes all from the balcony! Thanks so much!

My month long stay could not have been improved on! Communication with Marsha was prompt and she always was there for me and any questions I had. There are no words for the view from the condo! Pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. Watched whales going by from the lanai. The condo has everything needed for your visit, all the essentials are there. The pool and hot tub were nice to look forward to towards the end of the day. I had a mid month cleaning and it looked like I had just walked in on the first day. Location is awesome. Close to beaches and great walking trails right outside the door. The Management team appeared to really care about the complex and the cleanliness of the grounds. Truly a month of paradise and a big thx to Marsha for her Aloha Spirit🌴

The condo is a short walk to Poipu Beach where we saw Hawaiian sea turtles coming to shore at sunset each evening and turning back to sea if you want to visit the beach at sunrise. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner half the time we were there and enjoyed eating in Koloa or Kaapa on other nights. We took a sea tour from nearby Port Allen and loved passing through the tree tunnel for our daily excursions. Keep in mind there is no AC which I think is typical for the area condos but we were mostly cool with the trade winds and house fans. Saw a large pod of dolphins from the balcony one morning and enjoyed morning strolls right on the property watching the swells and waves crash onto shore. Definitely recommend for a family stay!

This is the first Vrbo review I’ve ever written and I am writing because of the amazing property owners. We had booked a week here after cancelling a week abroad over Covid issues. We had our flights cancelled and rescheduled multiple times and the owners were so very easy to communicate with, generous and flexible. The house itself was great for the four of us ( 2 adults and 2 kids) and we could have fit 2 more easily. We saw rays and whales from the balcony and at the beach just down the road there are turtles and seals that rest there every day. The house is comfortable and very well equipped- we especially enjoyed the boogie boards and snorkeling equipment that we could use every day. The condo complex has a pool and a hot tub which we enjoyed every day. The only drawback is that you have to walk about ten minutes to get to the beach (or drive 2 minutes and we always found parking) as the condo complex itself is up on some cliffs. Overall I recommend this place 110%, thank you for a magical stay!

This is a fantastic unit in a wonderful property, easily walkable to multiple beaches and a super short drive from lots of small towns with wonderful activities, food, and coffee. With the grand Hyatt basically next door and a walking path from the beach in front of that hotel all the way to the beach the other direction, it’s paradise and all walkable. The property was well appointed with plenty of beach gear, chairs, toys, etc. bathrooms are nice with plenty of hot water, and the kitchen looks like a recent renovation. The lanai is where we spent most of our time overlooking the pool (quiet, don’t worry) and the expansive ocean views! We had a ever so slight hiccup getting into the unit, but the owner and her friends in town couldn’t have been more helpful. It actually made the place feel even more well loved and homey knowing such wonderful people care so much about it and their guests! 100 stars!

What a fantastic location! I have visited Kauai over a dozen times, although never at this property. I don't think I will ever go anywhere else now. The unit was clean, comfortable, and the view is unbeatable. This was the first visit to the island for a couple in the party and they were as impressed as I was. The front door can be tricky. It locks like a hotel as soon as it closes. I accidentally locked myself out, bad. But, Marsha was so responsive that she had someone with a key there inside thirty minutes, fantastic! This is where I will stay every time I come to the island. My new Poipu go to!

We had such a wonderful trip to Kauai and loved this VRBO! It’s super close to both the ocean and the restaurants, has everything you need including snorkel gear and boogie boards and the kids loved the pristine pool to cool off after a Long Beach day. Perfect!

As we were in Kauai for a wedding, we really didn't get out to tour the Island much. However, we enjoyed the amenities and the closeness it was to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu Beach. The Condo was fully stocked with everything you would need from the kitchen to the beach toys etc. Each room is equipped with ceiling and floor fans so the "no A/C" was not much of a problem. When we get the change to come back to Kauai...we would likely stay here again.

The unit itself was in very nice condition, well kept and equipped. It has enough beds and baths to comfortably suit a large family, at least up to 6. Very good location with wonderful ocean and sunset views. The condominium complex is somewhat older and has some maintenance issues. For example, the hot tub was largely unusable, since it was too hot, the temperature controls were locked and the jets didn't work. For the complex as a whole, lots of people, not a great deal of privacy and a fair amount of noise. However, it didn't by any means negatively impact our stay. After all, how can you have a bad time on Kauai?

Great 3 bedroom condo. Wonderful view from the lanai. Nice walk/run right out the door down to Shipwreck Bay and Poipu Bay golf course. Condo is well equipped, including snorkeling equipment, and kids toys for the pool. Hopefully will get a chance to come back.

This property was in a perfect location. It had wonderful walking trails nearby. It was walking distance to the beach where we snorkeled with lots of turtles!
