We absolutely loved our stay! The lanai was one of our favorite parts — the view was incredible, and we could sit outside and watch sea turtles right from there. The location was perfect, with plenty of great food options nearby and everything we needed close by.The space was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting out front on the perfectly green grass, enjoying a pizza while watching the sunset — those are the moments that made this stay so memorable. The beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers provided were also a great bonus and made our beach days much easier.We highly recommend this place and will definitely consider staying here again when we return. Mahalo for an amazing stay!

KS310 is our favorite unit at Kuhio shores! Perfect for our family and anyone looking to enjoy all that Kauai has to offer! Unit is comfortable, well maintained and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Owner was super responsive and helpful. Mahalo!!

Absolutely a wonderful spot to stay! The view from the condo is one of a kind! Surfing right out front made for no need to travel to other spots (Summer time south swells for good surf) know your lane though, this is not a beginner spot in the summer! Windows open and fans spinning throughout the condo made for no need for A/C, never turned on once. The condo was loaded with all the essentials for living, even a little screw driver for my watch. The interior design is spot on! Great kitchen, bathroom and living area! Great location for south shore travel! Wish I owned this condo! Not all can be perfect, upgraded pans for cooking would be nice and bed could use a mattress topper to soften or new mattress, but was still sleep-able (I prefer a softer bed, if you prefer stiffer you're fine). Very thankful to have had the pleasure to stay here! Can't wait to come back one day! Thank you Mike & Sue and Pat for the communication and accommodating our needs!!! So thankful!!!

We loved our stay in the vacation condo. It was the perfect location for us and easy walk to two beautiful beaches for snorkeling. It’s right beside the Beach House restaurant or also an easy walk to several other amazing restaurants and shopping. We would love to stay here again.

Incredible view from the condo! That really is what you are paying for - that and the proximity to the surf! The condo is comfortable but dated. Had most everything that we needed however and was what we expected from the description and photos.

What a lovely condo and location! Close to so many things and our excursions! This place was awesome. It has everything you could possibly need, down to spices for cooking! Beautiful view and all windows and slider to enjoy the beautiful sounds of the water and trade winds! I would definitely stay here again!!!

This condo had a perfect view of the beach and you could sit in the balcony or leave the sliding door open to hear the waves which were soothing morning and night. The place was comfortable enough and the kitchen provided supplies for cooking a meal for dinner. The rooster and parakeets woke us up pretty early though as the bedroom window faced the parking lot and the birds didn’t care it was 5 am but that’s Hawai’i for you. I would recommend the owner to purchase new utensils such as whisk (which was rusty) and knives which were chipped. Communication with the host was good. The AC unit wasn’t working and the condensation was leaking on the hall closet. But after a couple days that was fixed and the place cooled down nicely. Would recommend this place for couples for a short stay. I think it needs upgrades on kitchen stuff and some dusting in the living room as well as new beach towels.

This is our second time staying here as a family of 5, and this place is perfect!! We loved coming back here every evening or afternoon after a fun day exploring the island and watching the turtles and surfers off the lanai!

The Kuhio Shores property is the best rental we have ever stayed in. The location was perfection, we loved seeing the turtles ride the waves everyday. It was perfectly situated between Lihue, Waimea, and Poipu. We will be staying here again!

We had an amazing stay at this property! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and well stocked beach closet. The location in south part of the island was perfect, with easy access to local attractions and restaurants.The host was outstanding—responsive, helpful, and made the entire process seamless from booking through check-out. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home that made us feel welcomed and at home.Everything exceeded our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a stress-free and enjoyable getaway. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

This place was comfortable and loaded with everything we needed for our visit. We appreciated the beach chairs and towels for all our beach days. The Poipu Athletic Beach Club was a nice place to visit for the pool and gym. The sunrises from the Lanai and sunsets from the front of the property were amazing daily. Shopping was a short walking or car ride down the road. We enjoyed relaxing on the lanai after a busy day on the island. The hosts provided a great manual with everything we needed, ideas for what to do and where to eat.

We absolutely loved this Property!!! When we walked in and hear the sound of the ocean from the Lanai we were in awe! The view is breathtaking!!!The Beach house Restaurant on the immediate side of the property was a great experience to celebrate my wife's birthday. Some nights we would fall asleep in the living room as the sound of the ocean was so therapeutic!Working with Denise was amazing. She made herself available to answer questions on all matters. This was our first time in Hawaii and this home made memories that will last our lifetime. When we return we will certainly be reaching out to Denise first!!!Aloha!Eddie & Anna Velez

You can't really put into words how special this condo is. The view when u walk in is stunning!!!!! The sounds of the waves crashing underneath the balcony and the turtles playing in the turquoise waters just at the coves edge...magical! You're right next door to the beach house restaurant which is really good and the snorkling at the beach house is some of the best on the island! Huge fish out there! Beautiful coral and of course the turtles. Awesome surf spot rt out front as well. Bring or rent some boards. Water is hot. Pressure is great! Beautiful counters and appliances. The floors are super nice. Floor to ceiling windows. Huge king size bed. No loud parties going on. Only loud noise i heard all week was the waves. You have to close the windows to watch a movie you're so close to the ocean. Fruit stand down the street. Some really good restaurants and shops close by. There was so much to do. Can't wait to come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. It was clean, well- appointed and maintained. The bed was super comfortable. It had everything we needed for a relaxing, fun vacation! We very much enjoyed watching the sea turtles just below the lanai. We had fun watching the parakeets fly in every evening to perch on the palm trees directly in front of the lanai as well. Also, keep your eye open for parrot fish! Sunrises are also amazing! The very first thing you want to do upon arrival is to get the air conditioners going. It took about 24 hours to really get the living and kitchen areas cooled down. However, the bedroom was cooled down by the time we went to bed. For food, we highly recommend La Spezia in old town as well as the Koloa pizza place a few doors down. Both were excellent! The Beach House next-door was also good, though quite a bit pricier. You will need reservations unless you are good with sitting at the bar. Their house made ginger beer was fantastic! For adventure seekers, we recommend doing the Holoholo Nepali Coast expedition as well as the Kipu Ranch ATV tour. Both were super fun and worth the money! We loved it here! You won’t be disappointed!

Great location, great updates, beautiful place, beautiful views. Loved watching the turtles float close to shore & lots of folks surfing the nice-sized waves. We also had a couple of monk seal visitors & plenty of chickens & roosters. There’s a small beach at the other end of the property. Snorkeling was good there. Had dinner at the Beach House next door. It was lovely. The Beach House property hosts an arts & crafts fair on random Sunday mornings, which was fun. We purchased several items from locals. Allerton & the Spouting Horn are super close by. There were plenty of easy access local shops & restaurants plus a couple of markets. Plan to spend . Most things were double in cost. Make boat reservations for the NaPali Coast. Water is calmer in the mornings but the mountains are covered in shadows. Still gorgeous. No one got seasick on our tour. We loved renting electric bikes on the Kapaa Bike Trail - east coast. The trail travels along the ocean for miles. So many screensaver views! Condo Guests are asked to remove shoes at the front door. That’s fine, however …. the floors appeared to be clean but our bare feet were very dirty from just walking on the condo’s tile floors. It is what it is. We loved this place & would definitely stay here again! Just like to be open / helpful in reviews. : ) Tip: bring an old pair of socks or house shoes. We opted to dedicate a pair of socks to walking around the condo & left them at the front door daily. That worked.

Kuhio Shores has unbeatable views and the furniture is the nice, comfortable island standard with plenty of seating on the balcony. It is a quiet building with intelligible rules for everyone’s comfort. That said, 315 is an-older unit with several challenges. The front door is warped and requires muscle to be shut, so it slams noisily each time. The LR screened windows didn’t open so no cooling breeze is achievable unless the balcony door is open. But this allows birds, bugs, and other wildlife in. The oven and refrigerator work well and there are plenty of most dishes. However, the plastic cutting boards are so beat up you will be eating bits of them…. if you can get the very dull knives to cut. One expects wear in a salt climate like the showers being rusted and stained, but there are repair and cleaning problems throughout the unit. The 2nd BR toilet barely flushes. Years of dust coat grills in the bathrooms. The bed under the window in the 2nd BR has a broken leg. There is only one nightstand in the main BR; the only outlet is on the other side of the bed. You won’t be using and charging your devices easily. Some lights and/or outlets are broken and some odd holes appear in walls. Again, it’s a gorgeous, quiet building to stay in, and I have several times. But this unit is more worn than others. If a little roughness won’t interfere with your vacation, staying here is fine. Also, don’t stay beyond the 10am checkout time or you will be charged 100/hour!

KS 418 is an absolutely beautiful place! The views from every window are spectacular!! Sitting down anywhere in living room you are surrounded by ocean waves. It’s like being over the ocean. The unit is furnished with all the necessary amenities. It’s clean and comfortable. Wonderful vacation home!!

The property exceeded expectations by far. The property was spotless. It had every amenity you could think of. This was my first time vacationing this way and I’m afraid the bar has been set very high. I had to contact the owner several times prior to coming out to Kauai and he responded within 30 minutes. We loved the location. We must have spent hours watching the surf and the sea turtles struggling against the tide from the lanai.We celebrated our 30 th wedding anniversary and it will be the most memorable celebration we have had to date. Because of our visit , I would recommend this property to everyone planning a trip to Kauai.

Absolutely wonderful. The location was amazing. But also the little things like having beach chairs and an umbrella and a little cooler. Also, Kauai was hotter than I expected but during the nights the AC was fabulous. You could leave it off all day then turn on the one in the bedroom just while going to bed and the room would almost immediately cool. Will seriously consider staying here again. Wonderful week

The condo is on the top floor overlooking the ocean. We stayed 18 days enjoyed our stay just wish there was a washing machine in the unit rather than the one on each floor as when you stay so long you have to pay to wash sheets and towels during the stay but if your stay is only a few days then you'll be fine.

If you like incredible views, upscale furnishings/amenities, and extremely responsive hosts, then this property is for you! Every feature in this condo was clearly very thoughtfully curated and reflects the organic nature of the island. The personal touches were very much appreciated such as the welcome book, which highlights all of the local markets, restaurants, activities and their proximity to the condo. The bathrooms were supplied with high end toiletries, and the kitchen with a variety of Starbucks coffee and a good selection of seasonings. Upon arrival, we found a handwritten note, (along with the best cookies I have ever eaten) from out hosts, welcoming us and acknowledging our anniversary.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Surf Song and would recommend to those looking for a spot with excellent views and easy access to The Beach House Restaurant. Highlights -- a) beautiful lanai spot with views of sea turtles and surfers all day! b) good parking availability. c) large panoramic window views of ocean and sunset. d) owners provided beach equipment which was extremely helpful (although one of the umbrellas seemed damaged). e) when we arrived there was a wedding out the side window at the Beach House with loud music BUT the community has quiet hours that is honored by the restaurant which was great. f) responsive host when contacted. Feedback -- a) perhaps we misread the original listing, but we were under the impression the unit had a washer/dryer for laundry. Turned out not to be the case and although there was one community unit on each floor of the complex, we ended up paying 40 to do laundry during our stay (quarters are not easy to come by BTW). b) for the first half of our stay we battled wasp nests right in front of the entry door, this was a pain and safety issue for our kids. c) the main bedroom was not as described in the photos. d) the oven needs to be properly cleaned; we made pizza one night and the oven smell was so bad we flat out stopped cooking during the trip. e) for the money we spent, we would have liked it if the bath towels did not have a bunch of stains in them. f) multiple windows screens were missing, so we could not open those windows.

The views of the ocean were by far the best part about the stay and the location was good. Having use of an AC was a bonus.Overall the property was good and it had everything that was needed. The property is a bit outdated and we had an issue with one of the beds being broken. The shower situation in the second bedroom is a bit unusual and makes that room more humid, which doesn’t have any air conditioner.I also want to point out that while the property does list there is a washer and dryer, the unit itself does not have them. Rather, they are shared with other tenants on the floor and you do have to pay to use them. We looked at the machines and they left a little to be desired.
