Great location, partial view of sunset from Lanai. Very clean and spaciousOnly downside was construction/roofing going on during the daytime with saws grinding time to time.

Very nice place, open and comfortable. Loved being able to get to the beach to see the sunrise and view the turtles. And Puka Dog, too! Comfortable furniture and nice kitchen.

The location was perfect and the condo was well appointed with beach towels and chairs as well as cooking supplies. The only complaint was that it got quite warm in the condo during the day and the living room fan couldn’t quite keep up.

Hands down, this condo is the most nicely appointed, cleanest stay we’ve ever had, anywhere in the world. It makes such a huge difference when the owners also clean and maintain the property! Not a thing is out of place or missing, and the location could not be more perfect. We never used the air conditioning, the condo is perfectly ventilated. Sunsets were fantastic. We’ve stayed at quite a few different Poipu Kai properties, and this one is far and away the best. We can’t wait to come back!

I booked this condo as I had a conference at the Grand Hyatt and this was only a 15 min walk from there along beautiful walking paths. We always like to have our own kitchen and this place had a wonderfully equipped kitchen. The bed was very comfortable. The balcony was nice, but got very hot in the afternoon. We found that, if we closed the blinds during the afternoon, we did not need the AC. The balcony overlooks the pool and tennis court. This would be great if you had kids, as you could sit on your balcony and watch them in the pool. It can get rowdy up until about 10pm and then it settles down. It was actually kind of fun watching the kids joyously playing in the pool. If you are a beach person, there is literally anything you could possibly want in beach gear in the master closet.

We loved this unit. It is now our favorite place to stay in Kauai and we have been vacationing in Kauai for more than a dozen years. We already rebooked for next year - probably says it all.Everything we needed was provided and all the equipment was of very good quality. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials and equipment.We stayed over Christmas, a really busy tourist season, and we did have to time our grilling a little. Tom responded immediately and resolved our question about the grill.The unit was very comfortable and quiet. We ate on the lanai nearly every day. The table umbrella was very helpful and the lounge chairs very comfortable. Tom and Margaret have obviously put a lot of effort into this spacious, tastefully decorated unit. The location is ideal for us, we walked along the beautiful Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail frequently. We really enjoyed our stay in this unit.

The property was lovely. The view was beautiful and the patio was spacious. Location was amazing with quick access walking to great beaches and short drives to great restaurants and shopping. We would stay there again.

We loved everything about this unit except Alaskans need more air conditioning. Otherwise it was truly amazing.

The location is spectacular, with wonderful views of the ocean from the very spacious balcony that we had breakfast on every morning. The unit itself was extremely spacious. There was a nice breeze, and no air-conditioning was required on the main floor, but the kids did use the air conditioning up in the loft. Our kids referred to their loft bedroom as the “treehouse.” The kitchen was amazing and was completely stocked with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub area was amazing and for a small fee you can use the tennis courts for tennis or pickle ball.

Through the years we’ve stayed in this unit many times. This is a lovely spacious condo. We like the garden view. This condo has always had everything we need yet regretfully, we won’t be able to stay again.This condo has a mold issue, which can be common in Hawaii. As soon as you open the front door, you smell it - mold smell has always been quite strong upon entry. I do have sensitive immune issues. My husband does not. We have both gotten sick, the last two times we’ve stayed here. I have never addressed the mold issue with management. We really love the Poipu Kai area. We have always loved this condo.

Property is in great location with designated parking, great communication, well-stocked. We got the optional A/C, which I recommend.

The unit is nicely equipped overall and is in the Poipu Kai resort. It is literally a 4 minutes walk to the beach or a quick drive. No carpets was a big plus to us. Mgmt company was very responsive. Two downsides are bed was a little hard for our taste and the bedroom is in Poipu Rd which was noisier than we anticipated. We did not use the in room air conditioning, so that might cut down on road noise. We enjoyed our stay.

The unit was clean and well kept. The ac was great in the bedroom, but don't expect it to keep the whole unit cool. Checking in was quick and easy. They provided suggestions of restaurants and shopping nearby.

Our stay was wonderful. I love the Poipu Kai property. It was beautifully kept. Our room had a fantastic view and was a quick step to the pool, but the location was not ideal otherwise…close to main road and trash bins so kinda noisy. The room itself needs a complete clean of drapes and rugs and pillows. Also, the lanai furniture is pretty blah. Towels and linens need freshening as they are quite threadbare. The room is very dated in style and decor but functional. I would stay at Poipu Kai again but I would choose a room with a king bed (personal comfort) and further in from road.

We loved the unit, it was nicely decorated and it had a bit of a view of the ocean which we enjoyed very much. We very much appreciated the extra AC unit in the bedroom, because the unit got very hot otherwise. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s on the top floor or because it’s kinda south facing, but it was almost unbearable hot and stifling in the afternoon. There are extra fans provided and we kept them running in every direction 24/7.
The only other complaint would be the very small amounts of staples provided by Suite Paradise. It’s fine if you’re there a week, but if longer you’ll have to buy more paper towels, dish soap, and TP - all which are quite expensive. One roll of paper towels at Big Save was $8! I’ve stayed in other units listed on VRBO and many owners provide additional supplies.

![Kauai Regency at Poipu Kai #811]()
This property was perfect for our first visit to Kauai. The walking path to Brenneckes and Poipu Beach was convenient, and the unit came equipped with chairs, some snorkels, and a wagon that we used to walk down and swim with fish and sea turtles. While the unit had some boogie boards available, they were either broken or too small for us to use.
A pleasant surprise was the updated couch, which was different from the one shown in the pictures. The bathtub was great for relaxing, and the pools and hot tubs were very close by. However, we struggled to get the access key for the third pool to work.
Additionally, be cautious with the towel holder on the right sink in the master bathroom, as it is loose. The standout feature of this unit was the communication from the host. I texted them multiple times during our trip, and they were incredibly responsive. It truly felt like we had a host who cared about making our experience enjoyable.
We spoke to several people who mentioned that they always stay at the Regency at Poipu when they visit Kauai, and I completely understand why. We gave it a 10/10!

Lovely walk to both Poipu and Shipwreck Beach. The beach club included in our stay was beautiful with nice pickleball courts. A Koloa Fruit stand just around the corner had good fruits/vegggies. Very clean and well-stocked kitchen. Only negative was lots of parking lot lighting lit up the bedroom. If you were keeping windows open instead of AC, the bamboo blinds did block much of the light but banged all night from the breezes.

This was a great location—an easy walk to the beach and great sunset views. The place was well stocked and the A/C unit in the main bedroom worked really well. We had a hiccup with the clothes dryer (belt broke and the part had to be ordered) but the property manager was quick to offer an alternative. My only complaint is regarding the beach chairs and beach umbrella—the umbrella was broken and unusable, and the chairs were rusty and mildewed. But other than this small fix, I highly recommend.

We really enjoyed this property and location. We usually rent houses but couldn’t find one for this trip in our price range so opted for a condo. The location is great and the condo is nice. The only complaint is that we heard the neighbors walking quite loudly above. Not very sound proof floors. Otherwise it was great.

The unit was very large for a one bedroom. very nicely furnished and equipped in kitchen.
The only thing negative was the abundance of little fly bugs that infested the bathroom. Not sure what can be done about them.
The office staff was very friendly and accommodating!

The condo is beautiful and the property grounds are so nice! The location and view are amazing and a close walk to the beach. We used the pool every day! Everything was well stocked, including beach chairs, umbrella and coolers. The bed was very comfortable. The only negative was the A/C unit in the bedroom needs updating. Overall the place is clean and the views from the balcony are beautiful!!

We did not realize there were 3 flights of stairs to the main floor of our unit. This was a struggle with overly heavy luggage. The digital lock is on the door itself, not the wall next to the door. The internet log on can be found on the back of the router, which was a challenge for us. After a bumpy start we had 5 wonderful days/nights. The unit is well stocked and close to the beach. The pool and jacuzzi are well maintained and very clean.

For the most part it was FANTASTIC! Location is anwesome annd anccurate.
Important to read the small print on listings. 😀
Recomendations:
Clothes washer and dryer should be updated.
Bring or rent your own snorkel gear, and beach umbrella. Those items are not provided.
Some basic condiments are not supplied (salt and pepper)
That said-we will stay there again!

Good - The unit was spacious and quiet with convenient parking and easy access to main road. Towels, beach chairs and other amenities were plentiful. No roaches or other pests were observed inside unit. Trash disposal close by. AC worked fine.
Bad - Patio faced the parking lot and street; no privacy. King bed in the master sagged badly in the middle. Clothes washer was filthy; rubber door seal full of hair and slimy mildew. Refrigerator water dispenser leaked. Key fob for access to pool was missing.

Exceptional location. 5 minutes walk to the beach to watch the turtles come onto the beach. There are BBQs you can use for free on the complex and a Safeway only 2 miles away. The condo was amazing - views were out of this world and the condo had everything you needed

The location was great but the unit is unbearably HOT! Only air is in the bedroom. Any time we were in the unit we had to stay in the bedroom. No TV in bedroom and a tiny tv in the living room. For the price I thought it was ridiculous you don’t keep up the condo. Carpet looks dirty, bathroom has build up all in the shower and tub. Felt dirty to me. 8 nights we got 2 towels a piece. You can’t put your towels on the balcony to dry which is ridiculous it’s a beach condo 🙄 Also one beach chair. Where will the other person sit? No ice chest and we bought a bunch of food thinking we could pack food on our days out. Nope couldn’t. Again unbearable heat inside and it was tough to cook because it got even hotter and we had to eat in the bedroom. I’ll never rent this unit again!

Loved our stay here. The resort is across the street from the beach as are most of the resorts are. It is within walking distance to Several beaches and good eats like Brenneckes. There is a restaurant/bar at the resort. Sometimes it is hit or miss if they are open for lunch but the food and people are great.

This place is the best spot to stay in! Close to the beach (just a few min on a beautiful walk). Also very close to shops and other gorgeous beaches. They had all the beach necessities (cooler, boogie boards, fins, umbrella and chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The home is decorated nicely. There is a nice breeze however the portable air conditioning is a necessity.

Clean -nice pool-in the middle where you can travel easily to either side of island -we did carry extra change of clothes so we didn’t have to travel back and forth. Nice walk to beach-liked the athletic club-all pots and pans needed-washer/dryer was perfect-hanging clothes line worked great in doors-warm in the living room-used all fans and used great working AC unit in bedroom. Comfortable inside and out-didn’t care for Joes had a great dinner at merrimans. Overall didn’t want to keave.

This is a wonderful property for the space and location. The condo is very spacious, comfortable furnishings, a well stocked kitchen, clean and quiet. The property manager communicates really well. The location is central to everything in Poipu. We really enjoyed walking down each night to the beach I. The evening and eating our dinner there.
We also enjoyed the lanai with the ocean view.
During our stay, there was a heat wave, so definitely needed the portable ACs and also needed the property manager to bring in a third portable AC. If you are going during months where it is going to be mid to upper 80s, You will need to pay the add on fee for the portable ACs.
But overall, we were really happy with the property. Thanks Mike!

Our first time to Kauai and it was nothing short of incredible. The check-in staff was accommodating and friendly, especially to my 4-year-old daughter. Check-in was a breeze.
The condo itself was great. It had everything we needed for our stay; from dishes to linens. Everything was clean and made us feel right at home for our trip. The only downfall was there was no central AC, but there is an AC in the room which worked perfectly. If you open up the windows right, you can get the cross-breeze which cools the rest of the house down.
The home came equipped with two TVs, although we only used the one in the living room, which was a smart TV.
The real showstopper was the view from the lanai. Ocean views in the distance and the beautiful view of the garden/landscape. The grounds were super quiet and everyone was very friendly.
We only attended one pool behind the Suite Paradise building, which was perfect for my daughter. There was always a lounge chair available.
The beach was only a 5-minute walk through the lush grounds-- everything about this stay was tranquil. 10/10, I would stay here again.
