We enjoyed staying in this condo. The location is great both in terms of where it is in Poipu and where it is in the complex. The assigned parking spot is right outside the stairs to the condo and the pool and jacuzzi are right behind it as well. The ocean views on the balcony are really good. Walks to multiple beaches including the baby beach were easy. The condo was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals, plus there are grills throughout the complex including right next door in the parking lot. The condo is stocked with beach gear, coolers, etc which was very appreciated.We were afraid that the noise from the pool would bother us but it didn't. The noise from the bar/restaurant next door, particularly on live music night, did bother us a little more though.The main bedroom on the main level was a great size and kept nice and cool. The upstairs loft area was well furnished with two twin beds and a couch but unfortunately was too hot in our opinion. There is a ceiling fan, a floor fan, a table top fan, and a portable A/C unit provided up there but with all of them running it was still hard to keep it cool enough for sleeping. After the first two nights we decided to let our toddler sleep with us in the main bedroom because we thought it was a lot more comfortable. This was unfortunate as we had selected this condo specifically to have a separate bedroom for our toddler.Overall though this condo has many great features and we enjoyed our vacation.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poipu Kai! My husband and I took a late honeymoon and wanted something special. We knew we wanted the ability to make food, have our privacy, and proximity to beaches. Susan’s place had it all and was so comfortable catering to our every need. 100 percent would go back!

The condo is in an excellent location next to the pool and minutes walk to the beach. The loft can get hot and its air conditioner doesn’t function as well as the main ac. That said everything else was great.

Everything was nice...however, the AC was not for the entire unit Just the bedroom), and the bedroom AC unit was not exhausting the hot air outside, rather the hot air was going into the room and making it hotter! It was close 90 degrees in there when we arrived at 7:45 PM. We fixed it so it sent the hot air outside, but this was not something we should have had to do.Unit was nice, though dated, but was in a great locatiion!

We loved our stay! The condo looks just like the pictures and provided a great space for our stay. The view was stunning and we couldn’t get enough of sitting on the lania. The pool was loved by our kids and was very clean! The location was best of all. Easy walk to Poipu beach and 15 minute walk to Shipwreck beach. The grounds where beautiful and we enjoyed how easy is was to walk to the beaches or to the coffee in the morning. Can’t wait to come back!

Everything was great! Fully stocked with essentials which was so convenient. Also stocked with beach essentials which made it hassle free to go to the beach. Bed was so comfortable. Great communication answered any questions right away! Great location close to great beaches where you can boogie board or snorkel! Beach was walking distance along the trail. Backyard had a large grassy area where kids could play. Parking was convenient. Honestly have no complaints and I’m so glad we picked this place, and hope to return soon!!

![Kahala at Poipu Kai Ocean View Condo]()
We visited and stay in Kauai, many times before. It's, the best island for us. And throughout the years we develop some notion, where to stay and what is best suitable for our budget. But, one could never know what is awaiting for him, before he arrive at his destination. We took a risk in renting a condo overlooking busy area in the beautifully manicured resort, with a promising view of the ocean. Tenis courts and swimming pool area under your balcony prove to be a mistake. As far as the condo itself? Well, let just say, if you like it hot, you will be fine. Our host was responsive to our needs , we thank her for that.....but my advice to her will be this. If you want your customers to be happy in your condo, please make sure, you learn something from each of them, every time they rise an issue. We customers, we do often response to everything we see not "kosher". Here, I choose not to be harsh in the criticism of things, but let me be clear. I will not rent this place in the future.

This unit has been well maintained and comes as advertised online. Its location met our needs well, quite central to all parts of the island. While there is no central air conditioning the ceiling fans met our needs ( there are multiple portable fans provided and an air conditioner in the bedroom ). My only suggestions would be replacing the lanai chairs as they are well past due; and it would be great to have face cloths; and a dish cloth or sponge available to wipe the kitchen counter:) Small things but it would be helpful.

We had all we needed for our stay in this lovely condo. The lanai was our favorite place to relax and enjoy the birds, flowers and immense green lawns.

Extremely clean, conveniently located within walking distance to several beaches and along the Heritage Trail. Great cross breezes kept the unit naturally cool and two lanais to enjoy the views and bird sounds from!

The location is well located for exploring and easy to get in and out of, an important factor during busy times. It’s close the pool and an easy walk to Kalapaki Joe’s. The downside is the pool can get noisy in the evening until it closes at 10pm and the south facing lanai can get pretty hot during the day. All that said, after the sun goes down and the pool empties, it’s a real delight with a great view.

Location, location, location! Literally steps away from the beach and equipped with everything you need for the beach. Perfect for our family with two teenagers. We lived this property and would definitely return!

We enjoyed our time here. The grounds were great with multiple pool options. Being across the street from the beach was incredible.

The property is nice. Within walking distance to the beach, if beaching it is what you like. It is a fair distance from Lihue for any sight-seeing there or a good store for groceries. The condo was spacious and set up well. My only complaint is that the lanai overlooks the parking lot, and because it is on the first floor, not very private.

This was a great place to stay! The location was within a short walks’ distance to beaches, great snorkeling, and relatively short drives to beautiful hikes. The pool, pickleball courts, and restaurant in the resort were an additional perk. Gorgeous sunsets that we viewed from our balcony! The sunscreen, wagon, beach chairs, pickleball equipment, games, books etc. were such a thoughtful addition as well. We really had a lovely stay and would stay again.

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.

We loved everything about this unit except Alaskans need more air conditioning. Otherwise it was truly amazing.
Jennifer T.
January 2025
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.
