The condo is beautiful. The views are incredible. We watched the turtles feom a balcony. The sound of the surf was a great way to wind down after a day full of excursions. It's 30 minutes from pretty much every where you want to go on the island. We would stay here again!

Our stay was perfect, absolutely everything we hoped for. Location was quiet, beautiful, and we had so much activity to watch every day from the lanai; surfers galore, turtles and even seals. Sunsets were phenomenal. The condo had everything We could possibly want. It was heavenly.

Beautiful view from condo. My two sisters annd I enjoyed visiting the island- drove all around to the beaches and Waimea Canyon. Enjoyed a wonderful Easter church service, good food, JoJo’s shave ice and saw the sea turtles come and rest on the beach.

The location is amazing and conveniently located. When we walked into the unit we could immediately hear the waves crashing. Each morning and evening we enjoyed the views from lanai.
The unit was a good size for 2 people, but some of the furniture was “tired” and uncomfortable. It also would have been nice if the bedroom had a small tv for the option to wind down and relax in the bedroom.

We entirely enjoyed our stay. There is such a gorgeous view, and the living space is cute, comfortable and spacious enough for our small party of 3. Would definitely stay again! And it’s only a short walk from the awesome “Baby Beach”

This home was a beautiful place to stay in Poipu. Had everything you needed for the kitchen and the beach! Couldn’t have asked for better communication and just a great overall stay. Wanted to just sit out on the lanai and watch the waves and ocean. Got lucky enough to see a few rainbows too!! Thanks for a delightful experience.

The condo was supplied with everything we needed to enjoy our Kauai vacation. Loved the beautiful ocean view. We had no issues whatsoever with the condo. The beach chairs were nice to have. Plenty of dresser storage and lots of hangers provided for our clothes. Location was great. Host contacted us shortly after booking and provided us with information and advice/recommendations for things to do. Very helpful.

Fall asleep with the sounds of the ocean right outside your window! This location is truly magical. Whales, turtles and rainbows off your balcony every day...amazing restaurants, shops and beaches around the corner. Everything right at your fingertips in a well-equipped home with the most comfortable beds and amenities.

What a beautiful, immaculate, and well appointed unit! Everything we needed for a relaxing, comfortable stay was there. We spent hours on the lanai watching the sea turtles and reading. The entire property is very well maintained and quiet, and is in close proximity to incredible dining options. We will definitely be back to Kauai and would eagerly rent this condo again! Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Unit and complex were clean and inviting. Host was very responsive, and unit was very welcoming. Plenty of doors/windows to get a nice cross breeze keeping the unit nice and cool. AC was not needed at all. Great view off the deck, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Floors are concrete with some rugs, no issue for us at all but may be for some. Everything was in order and good working condition. I would book here again in a heart beat.

Overall had a great stay @ Kuhio Shores 418. Setting was beautiful right on the ocean, sunsets were spectacular, apartment was quite comfortable. Setup was functional, kitchen was more than adequate, would have been nice to have a few more spices and condiments. Lanai was great, the views at sunset from the front room was to die for.
The provided beach equipment was nice to have, 2 beaches within easy walking distance. Word of advice: snorkeling goggles will need to be rented or brought with.
The only improvement would be to get rid of the louvered doors. The noise travelled throughout the apartment, especially at night.
Also, the damn Kauai roosters crow all day, all night.
Overall, a very nice stay in a beautiful setting!

The property was not as clean as other properties we have been to, but not bad. The view out into the small bay and next to the waves crashing onto the rocks was awesome. This is one of the spots to see sea turtles and we did just below our room. He was in the rocks feeding, so that was definitely a high point. Close to all the restaurants and shopping. It was a good stay, would definitely think about coming back.

![Oceanfront Poipu Condo Second Floor Unit]()
This place is very run down. There were cable/tv outlets dangling from wall with no covers, multiple cords plugged into power strip just lying behind tv stand. Not appealing too look at, and a fire hazard. Cable was running along bottom of sliding door, and collecting dirt/sand. Does not look like it was cleaned in ages. 2 camp style chairs on lanai very torn and tattered. Afraid too sit in, they would probably have collapsed/torn through.2 wood chairs and table on lanai that were very weather beaten and unstable to use. Corner cabinet door in kitchen came apart any time it was opened. Tea kettle very dirty and covered with rust. Dresser in bedroom was held together with duct tape and very beat up. Dresser in bedroom closet was falling apart as well. Refrigerator was very beat up and dirty all around outside. Shower head/faucet were very old and did not function well. Stove/oven very old, burners dirty, sat uneven, hard to use. Parking lot is very small. tight, and most people take up more then 1 spot. This place needs major remodel. Have photos of all, VRBO does not have a way for me to post them. Entry way, and laundry, for complex was very beat up and filthy. Check-in procedure was not correct for getting parking pass. Needs to be updated.

Location: This condo is located near Poipu with restaurants, shops, and the beach nearby. We appreciated being close to so much in the area. For the end of March and beginning of April, this is the dry area of the island, and we were glad we booked a room down here. The Blow Horn is just a little over a mile away. Rent a car and drive to Poipu Beach as the beaches around the condo are not great to lay out on. The Beach House restaurant is next door, and they serve great food. I actually preferred some of the pub grub at Friendly Waves and Kauai Island Brew (pizza).
Condo: Unit came with a parking spot, wifi, and everything in the kitchen we needed. The a/c units in the main room and the bedroom provided plenty of cooling, and the small cooler, chairs and boogie boards on the balcony were appreciated. Towels, extra bedding and pillows were provided, and there are washers and dryers on site if needed (bring quarters). Other reviews have said the furniture is dated, and that is true; however, everything is functional and practical. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures and appliances were newer and worked well. The view is of a small cove/inlet and is great. We saw turtles one day while we were there and numerous people snorkeling and spear fishing.
Overall: Great stay, great location, and really easy instructions on how to check in and out. Thanks for a great stay!

We were two couples staying in this beautiful condo. We spent many hours on the lanai, watching whales, dolphins, seals, birds, turtles and surfers. We loved hearing the sound of the waves and enjoyed the sunsets.
The condo is well equipped, with almost everything we needed. An additional wine glass, more than two tea towels and a pasta fork would have been appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the showers worked well. The location is ideal. The snorkelling on the beach next to the property was excellent. Shops and other amenities were within walking distance. We had a wonderful stay.

It was great I loved having every day visits with the turtles. I’m sorry about the light strip in the bathroom. I couldn’t find the switch until the next day and I couldn’t sleep and I think I had too much to drink and I must have darkness.😂

As advertised! The location was ideal, beach right beside condo offered awesome snorkelling, 10-15 minute drive had 10 other beaches, lots of dining and grocery options. A short 10 minute walk to all the essentials.
Condo was super clean, very quiet and hosts have boogie boards, chairs and towels for beach! Awesome for family with young kids with two twin size beds in one room and king in the other, each room with its own bathroom. Every day whales, turtles and monk seals right from lanai! This place is literally 15 feet from the ocean! Truly oceanfront!
If ur looking for a quiet, clean, safe place to stay this is it.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It was near shopping and had a great little beach (Lawai) that was a good spot to snorkel. It’s down the street from Spouting Horn and a garden so there’s a bunch of things to do nearby. Poipu beach was only a few minute drive away. The condo had everything we needed. The beds were really comfortable too! Since it’s on the ground floor, there were some noises that we heard throughout the evening but nothing too loud or enough to even wake us up. Greg was very responsive and friendly. He helped make our first stay at Kauai amazing. We will definitely stay here again next time!

All we needed to do was sit/lounge on the balcony...listen to the waves, watch sea turtles, feel the ocean breeze to enjoy our vacation. The spot is perfect. The condo has everything you need. Strolling the area is easy to do. Yummy places to eat. I can see why its a favorite to many-- its now ours as well!!

Great right on the ocean property. We saw sea turtles from our balcony and whale spouts. We loved falling asleep to the waves crashing on the rocks right below us. We just opened the windows and did not have to turn on the air conditioner. Nice condo and having the kitchen came in handy. The only thing I would say is that my wife and I only had one bath towel each for the week. It would have been nice to have had 2 towels each. We could have used the pay floor community washer and dryer, but who wants to do that and wait for it to wash and dry, when you are on vacation.

Reviewer Comments:
Kuhio Shores 418 is such an excellent unit for the perfect Poipu stay. We spent most of our time with the sliding glass door and the windows wide open for the most wonderful fresh island breezes and ocean wave sounds. The unit is well maintained and appointed with everything needed: more than enough towels, great beach gear and coolers, and everything needed to cook. The beds are comfy, the wifi works great, and the views all day are spectacular. Was concerned the restaurant would be noisy but it really wasn't. The AC and fans in the bedrooms and living room made the space extra comfortable for sleeping. Most condos in Hawai’i are not as clean or well cared for as this unit. You cannot beat the ocean front location and view of Kuhio Shores 418, plus it is a 3-5 minute drive from everything you could want in Koloa and Poipu. The management company dropped off the parking pass the next day so we didn’t even need to do a check in at the building. Top to bottom a great experience. We cannot wait to get back to Kuhio Shores 418.

Have stayed repeated at this facility for its location oceanfront and for the great snorkelling area immediately adjacent. Loved Chris’s unit on the ground floor with all the authentic Hawaiian features of beautiful native wood finishing and art. Beyond the craftsman wood features, the king bed was comfortable with nice linens, kitchen was well appointed and the bathroom had a large shower with lots of towels. We will be back!!

We enjoyed our quiet, relaxing stay in Poipu/Koloa. Everything here was in good working order and we had no issues that necessitated contacting the owners.
In our opinion this is not an ocean front property but more so an ocean view. The view was still very pretty overlooking a small bay and also had nice mountain views. In our opinion "ocean front" would mean just that, facing the ocean.
Getting your laundry done can be a challenge as you're competing with more than a dozen units for one washer and dryer per floor. There's just no way to police that (patrons leaving their laundry in the machines well after a load is done). This may have been an oversight on our part as we would not have rented without laundry in the unit itself. Lastly, WiFi drops were an inconvenience, simply needing a reboot to catch the signal so not a major issue.
With all of that said we still rate the unit 5 Stars as the location is wonderful, in a quiet community with everything one would need nearby. If this unit had laundry internally and not a community laundry we would definitely look to rent again (we stayed a month).
Kind regards to the owners Doug and Nancy. Mahalo for your hospitality.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The view is amazing so close to the water. We never closed the windows so we could hear the crashing of the waves day and night. The location was perfect close to everything we wanted to do. Jack was great to communicate with especially after leaving something there. He had it in the mail the next day. We highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to go back.

This was a great stay. The photos are reliable and describe the view well. The small cove just to the west is full of fish and has relatively easy access into the water. Parking can be tight after dark on a weekend. A larger dining table would be an improvement. Very pleased overall.

A beatiful unit in a quiet complex. This luxury condo unit had everything we needed. It was beautifully decorated and the lanai was overlooking the ocean 40 feet below. We could watch the surfers catching waves, sunsets, turtles bobbing in the surf, whales in the distance (when in season). Great location, close to Koloa town. We would stay again.

This was our family’s first time in Kauai and will have forever memories of the island. We are frequent travelers to the Hawaiian islands and they all have something unique and special. The highlight for us here was the snorkeling. It was so close to the condo and so many beautiful fish and turtles. The condo provided the necessities and had plenty of room for our family. There were umbrellas, chairs, sand toys and coolers. My only complaint is the linens were not freshly cleaned. Our kids slept on the pull out couch but the sheets and blankets provided in the linen closet smelled like they were washed several months ago. I ended up washing the sheets and just let the kids take our blanket and pillows. Other than that, everything else was perfectly fine and we enjoyed our stay and would stay again when we go back to Kauai.
