Some Recent Kuhio Shores Reviews


The views were amazing! You could watch the amazing sunrise and the morning surfers from the balcony every morning while relaxing and drinking your morning coffee and every evening you could also watch the sunset from the balcony. We also could see turtles up by the rocks in front of the condo and whales in the distance from the balcony. There’s a tiny beach beside the condo but amazing beaches only a short drive away. We loved this condo and would love to stay here again EXCEPT for one thing…sadly the beds were truly awful! Both the master king mattress and the queen mattress in the second bedroom are old and have no support left in them whatsoever. I have back issues so it was a big issue for me but the other 3 people in my party have no back issues but had sore backs after sleeping on these mattresses. All of us had awful sleep due to these beds and the only way we could stay in this unit again is if they replaced the mattresses. It makes no sense for a high end unit like this to have old worn out mattresses, please get new ones, your condo is amazing otherwise! I feel bad even writing this but I really must worn fellow back pain people, if someone had said this before I would have looked elsewhere. So please get new mattresses and update your description saying new mattresses! Then everyone will know they can disregard this part of my review.

This was a wonderful condo: good size, well-stocked, clean, quiet, beautiful sunrise views. The location was perfect: literally nextdoor to a great snorkeling bay and a wonderful restaurant with sunset views. It’s in a quiet low-key area. Easy walk to shops. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed staying at this condo. The views of the ocean out front were amazing and it is in a prime location near beach for snorkeling and several shops for eating and shopping nearby. The condo was clean and well stocked with beach items as well as everything you would need for cooking. I appreciated that the kitchen dishes, cookware, etc were in excellent shape. Rick was a pleasure to work with and responded quickly whenever I had questions. I hope to return in 2024.

Great condo, on the ocean. Very scenic near, quiet (other than the roosters) but they are everywhere. We highly recommend this property for couples, or small families.

We had a fantastic stay here and highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something on the ocean. The view is incredible! The condo itself it also beautiful, the artwork and woodwork is really unique. It was more spacious than we expected based on the pictures. We were comfortable with 2 adults and 2 children. The kitchen is fully stocked, we had everything we needed to prepare meals. And the host was very helpful and responsive, with lots of great tips on local attractions, restaurants, etc… it was really hard to leave this place!

We enjoyed our stay in the condo. It was clean, well stocked and great location. Ocean is a few steps away and great views of the Sunset. Sara was very responsive and has great communication. She provided beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and snorkel for guest's use. The welcome basket was very nice. Highly recommend.

We completely enjoyed our stay at Ricks’s place! This is truly an oceanfront condo with amazing views!! The condo was nicely furnished and had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Kauai. We spent many hours on the balcony just listening to the ocean and watching turtles. If you were any closer you would be in the water. The local area had a lot of food and shopping options and it was close to a couple beaches and hiking trails as well. Rick was great to communicate with and even let us have a later check out since there was no one checking in that day and we had a late flight. Definitely recommend and would book again!

2nd time staying at Kuhio Shores, 1st time staying in this room, Excellent view, 2 room condo. Everything you need for an excellent vacation. Our host Jack was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Can’t get any closer to the ocean. This condo is worth ever penny. Highly recommended!

Right next to the Beachhouse Restaurant, flanked by two beaches where we saw sea turtles daily...and even a monk seal came ashore! Snorkeling, sunrise, sunsets, shave ice, and easy walks to amenities/sights are right outside your door. We loved spending Christmas at this magical location. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable with a welcome sign, treats, and a spotlessly clean place. Mahalo!

Everything was wonderful about this property...the views, the inside...everything was thoughtfully appointed and we were so sad to leave. Our next rental on kauai was far less thoughtful and sadly, was a complete let down after staying here. It's perfect, everything inside was amply provided and comfortable. There was a view too from nearly every room. Outside the views were to die for. We'll definitely be back. Mahalo!

View and sounds of the water were amazing. It was, however, mediocre for the price of the unit. The furnishings are all worn done. Appliances like kettle, stovetop, and coffee maker are on their last leg. Curtains and furniture covers have rips and snags. The toilet was very slow and questionable at times. The bedsheets kept falling off as it lost its elasticity. The worst of it all was the tv wasn't working. Yes, we're in Kauai but when the sun goes down and you want to go back to the condo to hang out and watch tv, you can't. It was painful to communicate this issue as the owner basically told me to call Spectrum. 2 hours later, no success. Geez, wasn't planning on that! Basically, I was told the tv will be replaced after we leave. For this problem, I only got $100 in credit. While I appreciate at least some kind of credit, a $100 wasn't enough for all of these items. We went over the Thanksgiving holiday so it was over $2200 for my 5 nights. I would not stay here again.

We love Kauai and always appreciate any opportunity to be on island. Having to work while there, I opted for this property and the phenomenal views to hopefully see some whales. Definitely worked out well! :) The Galvin’s were extremely easy to communicate with, very responsive while I was there, and provided directions, ideas, and more to help with my stay. Truly a lovely experience!

Excellent location with great views of "turtle cove." Sunrise views can be wonderful (weather permitting). The condo is basic but the location makes it worthwhile. It would be helpful if the patio screen would lock. We had problems getting into the condo using the long numerical code. Would prefer to be given the 4-digit lock box code to get the key.

The view off the balcony is beautiful. You are paying for the views with this condo. It is right next to a road which isn’t totally clear in the pictures. But the road isn’t that busy. Overall the inside is usable but the furniture and bathroom could use some TLC. The bar for towels in the bathroom falls off the wall if you breathe on it. There was limited paper towel and toilet paper which is usually provided especially considering the nightly rate and fees. The owner provided lots of sheets for the pull out but no extra blankets. It would also be nice if there was a broom.

We have been to this facility twice. Each time we have enjoyed the modern amenities of the rental, the close proximity to the ocean and surrounding beaches. From an early morning coffee to watch the sunrise to an afternoon cool beverage to watch the sunset you will be amazed each and everyday. Watching the aquatic life playing in the ocean as the waves crashed ashore is especially enjoying. So much so you will not realize how quickly time will simply pass. This VRBO rental rates a 10+. We are very fortunate to have found it available for our visits. We are confident once you have also stayed here you will want to keep it a secret!!!!

December 2023

Upon arrival, the unit looked mostly clean other than dust on baseboards/light fixtures but ants were everywhere in the kitchen when i arrived... counters, inside cabinets, floor, stove etc. When staff contacted me to see if everything was clean I noted the ants and they dismissed it as "unavoidable". This is CLEARLY not true because I had spent a week in another condo in the area just before this one and I didn't have this problem. This tells me that there are food particles in places that aren't immediately visible. I rent condos to have a kitchen to save money on food but this stay was extremely unpleasant and expensive since I couldn't use the kitchen without having to watch every little move. Even the dining table had ants. Also, this unit is right next to a busy street. The bedroom wall is parallel to the street. Had I known this I wouldn't have stayed there. Very loud and not relaxing.

Great views and location. The condo had everything we needed for our stay. All we had to do was run to the grocery store or go out. She loved the couch and would usually fall asleep out there. I liked the BBQ area. It was a great place to meet other people staying there while using the BBQ. The other thing that I can say is the employees were awesome. We go to Hawaii every year to different islands, and we are going back to this unit in 2024.

A great location to access Waimea Canyon and south west sites. An easy drive to the north end of the Island and Princeville. The Beach house restaurant is a 3 minute walk from the unit and is excellent. The host Jennifer was excellent and accessible. Would highly recommend this unit and excellent host.

Nov 2023: My wife and I spent 10 days here and enjoyed every day. The condo does have a magnificent ocean front view. We enjoyed the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below and the ocean breeze moved easily through the condo, we didn't have a need for the air conditioning. Sunset views from the lanai, when the clouds permitted and great proximity to all parts of the island. We like to hike, my wife is a runner and I SCUBA diving, all our needs were met from here. We found the location to be perfect for accessing the north shore of Kaua'i and the west shore up into the Waimea Canyon. There are a few things that require attention, primarily the screen door to the lanai other than that the condo is very comfortable and contains everything we needed. The condo management is very friendly and helpful. We are looking forward to returning.

We visited Kauai for my Birthday. It is our second trip there. The place is nice and clean, the unit has air in the main room and bedroom! A plus since a lot of places here don't. I loved the sunrise from the balcony and the ease of watching the sunsets from the rear of the building next to the water's edge. It is an easy walk to Shopping, Sheraton Beach, and the spouting horn! It is a nice place for you and your loved one! The kitchen is fully appointed, although we don't usually make dinners in the unit. It has all the necessary accouterments to make you feel at home! I will consider renting again when we come back!

Beautiful remodeled condo with almost everything we needed for our stay. We loved being able to see the ocean from the bedroom, and hearing the waves at night to lull us to sleep. And beautiful sunrises each morning from the lanai. Really appreciated the air conditioning when we needed it too. We mistakenly thought that there was a washer & dryer in the room, but found out when we got there that there is a community laundry room on the 2nd floor to pay for use. Will pack more clothes next time so no need to do laundry. Looking forward to staying here again in the future, Mahalo!

SHARRON Z.
December 2023

The property location is ideal for restaurants and activities on the island. Everything is very convenient or a reasonable drive. The condo is well supplied with the essentials for a comfortable stay. What lacks in comfort is the furniture, it’s fine if you are out most of the time but uncomfortable to lounge on the sofa for any period of time. There is 1 chaise lounge on the lanai, there needs to be 2 so both people can enjoy being outside. There is a small table and 2 chairs on the lanai, but they are not comfortable for any period of time. The bed is okay for sleeping but could be more comfortable with a better mattress. The sheets, while clean, are a bit rough. A higher quality set of sheets would add greatly to a person’s overall comfort. There is plenty of storage space for your belongings while visiting. Cedar lined closets are a nice touch. Drawer space is sufficient for 2.The elevator in the building is nice to have when you’re tired and don’t want to climb stairs. The building has 2 elevators but the one was always out of service. Light switches take a little effort to get used to for the lights over the table, the desk, and the bedroom. It’s not readily apparent that there are dimmers on some of them that work very differently than others we have seen. The bedroom light switch has 2 main switches. One only controls the light and the other (preferred) switch controls both light and fan. We had a good stay, but the details make a difference between good and great.

We have been coming to Kauai for forty years and have enjoyed both the Grand Hyatt and other condos, but this view is unbeatable. The unit is in excellent shape with lovely appointments. Thanks to large windows and mirrors, we could enjoy the views from every angle. We also enjoyed walking to Spouting Horn, Kukui'ula Village, and Poipu Beach. And anytime we felt like snorkeling, we just walked a few steps to Lawai Beach. Whenever we ventured out, we were delighted to return to our lanai and embrace the views. We made sure we were home to watch sunsets and loved watching both turtles and surfers. In the past, we always loved going to the Beach House, but with this view, I recommend you bring your own fixings for MaiTais! Some reviewers complained about weddings next door. Over the weekend, there was one wedding and a number of people milling about to watch the sunset. We never found the activity unpleasant. In fact, we found joy in watching so many people sharing the ocean whether they were locals fishing or a young couple getting married. If you need privacy, the cleverly designed window coverings, sliding doors, and AC will allow it.

December 2023

This is very old and lacks love. They bank on the view alone. Once the wow factor is gone you realize there are no window coverings a basic home necessity. If guests are sleeping in the living room they wake up with the sun. Next the guest room had the most odd pungent smell. I had to keep the door shut. Thankfully we didn’t need that room. The master closet takes muscle to close due to the eroded rust on the tracks. It was the least cared for property we have ever stayed in. It was clean but you can only get old so clean. We knew it would be outdated but not to the extent we experienced. Zero quality everything is basic entry level.

This place is a gem! We stayed here as a family of 4 and loved everything about it. Everything was a short drive or walk away. The place itself was clean and kitchen was well stocked. My kids love exploring the rock area below and watching turtles swim from the balcony.

Loved the condo, everything exceeded expectations. Kitchen has everything you would need, great showers. Spent a lot of time on the balcony when not at the beach. Quieter than we expected, too.

The views were incredible! Saw turtles and enjoyed watching the surfers. The space is very comfortable and we felt at home. The decor is appropriately island like, maybe a bit dated, but very well maintained, organized and stocked with items you may need. The rental company was very kind to check in with us to be sure everything was going well. Would definitely stay here again!

This condo worked great for our family of 4! Great sunsets and location. We loved being able to walk right out onto the lawn off the lanai. Even with the Beach House restaurant next door, it was quiet. We really appreciated having a boogie board and the 3 beach chairs. Kitchen was well-appointed (there are now enough coffee filters to last years lol). We will be back!

Polly’s place is great. This oceanfront property has everything you need to be comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the condo is nicely furnished. The views are amazing and Polly is a great host! We had a wonderful stay.
