Summary:
Walk out for coffee on the private lanai, then take the short stroll to Shipwreck Beach from Poipu Sands 112, a ground-floor condo in Poipu Kai Resort. This one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home sleeps three and makes a relaxed landing place for a couple or small family exploring Kauai's sunny South Shore. Ocean and garden views add a sense of place, while the bright living area and full kitchen make time at home just as easy as time out. Choose between two shared pools, use the tennis courts, or plan a beach day with Poipu's snorkeling and shoreline close by. A dishwasher, in-unit washer and dryer, and high chair simplify the family details. With beach access, pool time, and South Shore dining nearby, this is a comfortable choice for guests who want Poipu's coast at an unforced pace.
The Space:
The bright living area opens to a private lanai, where coffee and meals come with ocean and garden outlooks. This ground-floor one-bedroom sleeps three and includes a full kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and a high chair for simpler family travel. The layout is comfortably scaled for a couple or small family who plan to spend their days outside.
Guest Access:
This Poipu Sands condo, set within Poipu Kai Resort, gives guests access to the shared pool, plus resort grounds with garden and ocean views. A private entrance and ground floor layout make coming and going easy, and the beach is just a short walk away.
The Neighborhood:
Poipu Kai is set on Kauai's sunny South Shore, close to the bluffside views and surf at Shipwreck Beach. Poipu Beach Park is nearby for calmer swimming coves and snorkeling, while the restaurants and shops at Poipu Shopping Village give you an easy dinner option after the sand. Old Koloa Town is a short drive inland for coffee, food, and sugar-plantation history. It is a well-placed area for travelers who want beach days without a complicated plan.
Getting Around:
Lihue Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away, a pretty drive across Kauai's south shore. A rental car is recommended to reach Poipu's beaches, Koloa town's shops, and nearby dining with ease. Old Koloa Town is walkable for boutiques and restaurants, while beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. Parking is generally available on site or in small lots around town.

Host answered my questions pre arrival immediately. This is my second stay, my 6 year old granddaughter loves this place. The grass area for frisbee right outside the sliding glass door, the walkway to the pool are a few steps and the beach a few more! Location is great! Shipwreck beach, Poipu beach with turtles and monk seals, Koloa town, Spouting Horn and so much more!

This property was a 5 star condo. We loved the location ocean-view and walking distance to the Hyatt for dinner. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking and entertaining. It was very clean. Two bathrooms was a very nice luxury. We enjoyed swimming in the pool. Nice barbecue area available as well. We could have walked to the beach. Everything was lovely about the condo. Close to shopping as well. Mahalo

The place was clean, lovely and convenient to the best beaches and locations. We traveled the whole island, and were very happy with the convenience of this location. Beautiful views and a kitchen stocked with all you need. Jim was quick to respond and made the stay very lovely! 10/10

Yes. The only downside was that the smoke alarm malfunctioned several times and could not be silenced without totally disabling it. I informed the owner. Otherwise, stay was great and property was as advertised. Nice grounds, pool, and condo property

The shower water goes from super hot and you can't get it cold. We opened the bottom windows in the dinning room and living room and the latches didnt work to close them. But everything else was great.

The condo was beautiful with a great location and good views. We loved the nearby beaches. One was great for snorkeling and another was good for boogie boarding. We still enjoy both, even though we are in our seventies.

We had a wonderful stay in the condo thanks to Jim the owner and thanks to prior visitors, who I think left some of the supplies. We added to them. 12-15 min walk to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach on oceanside path, depending on how far you want to go. Amazing sunrises seen from the path and beach around 7:15AM. Short drive to local eateries, shopping and Poipu beach, where there is family friendly snorkeling.

This was a perfect trip. The size, condition, and view from the property were undersold. The place was incredibly well stocked and comfortable. We never missed the air conditioning with great breezes and powerful fans. 10/10

The property was just as pictured and described. The view of the ocean and mountains in the distance was beautiful and we enjoyed walking down to Shipwreck Beach and seeing the monk seals and walking along the cliffs there. The property itself was very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed (kitchen was well equipped, having a washer and dryer was amazing, and the lanai was a great place to relax and read).My only note is that I thought it was a 10-minute walk to Poipu beach...it was a 10-minute walk to Shipwreck Beach, and we chose the very pleasant 5-minute drive to Poipu Beach. Also worth noting, if you're a light sleeper, that the bedroom is next to the main road and there was noise from cars, though the street was mostly busy in the mornings and late afternoons.Truly it was an enjoyable stay - thank you!!

A bump in the road for the owner Jim as his unit needed work due to sudden water damage. He was wonderful communicator. He kept us update and found us another unit to rent. Poipu Sands is a great location. The pool was fabulous. Even with all the construction around us our stay very nice. We would rent this unit again in the future. What a beautiful view!

This was a wonderful stay! Waking up every morning to a beautiful sunrise was everything I could have ever asked for! Everything was clean and basically had everything we needed. I read the reviews before and there were complaints about the car traffic, but I barely heard it and even when I did hear it, it wasn’t a bother! Anyways, I will be back at this condo every visit from now on!!!!
