Great location. Nice pool and hot tub. I would stay here again. I love that there was beach chairs and snorkeling stuff in the condo for us to use. Thanks for the great time.

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The location of the property is excellent. You are near all the restaurants and beaches. The view from the property is beautiful! Everything is well manicured and we did see some turtles swimming in the ocean from the back of the property by the water. My only complaint is the condo is under renovation and I wished it would have been disclosed in the details. The project appears to not be completed. Upon request, Vacasa did address our concerns promptly and satisfactory. Thank you for letting us stay here and experience Poipu.

This was a great property for our family to vacation in. The listing matched the amenities of the property 100%. It provided everything we needed for our stay. Check in and check out or easy. Communications with the property manager was a dream. My only comment is in regard to the crib. The crib is really not a crib. It is a portable playpen. The mattress is much too stiff for a comfortable nights sleep for a baby. Fortunately, our little one was comfortable snuggling in with mom and dad for the night.

We celebrated out 31st wedding anniversary in Kauai and stayed at this wonderful condo. It had everything we needed and the view of the ocean was unmatched! We enjoyed watching the waves crash and seeing turtles swimming around in the cove. We definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to visit Kauai and stay in a nice condo close to the water.

We stayed in this condo for one week, and loved every minute of it. Simple check-in process, condo was very clean, lots of space, and we appreciated the a/c!! Just steps to the pool, and the most amazing ocean view. We couldn't have asked for anything more. If we ever come back to Kauai, I would book this property again in a heartbeat!

We had a wonderful time in Kauai. The condo was perfect for four ladies. The location was great with an easy walk to Poipu Beach and some bars and restaurants.

I originally chose this property for two reasons, the view from the balcony and the fact that it had washer/dryer in the unit. As it turns out those two things were only the beginning of a wonderful 4 night stay. The unit was immaculate. All new appliances. Well stocked kitchen. The furniture/beds etc were new, comfortable and tastefully decorated. I was a little concerned about only having air-conditioning in the bedrooms. But we were completely comfortable during our stay. The bedroom cooled down quickly and nicely by turning the unit on just before bed. The property is quiet, well maintained and close to everything. If we are fortunate enough to return to Kauai, we would definitely book this unit again.

Condo was as advertised. We thought it was a great value for this oceanfront location. Enjoyed our morning coffee on the lanai. Very nice ocean view, as we feared looking through buildings would be limited. It was not. Loved the location. Communications with manager was outstanding and very timely.

Spacious, well equipped unit. Kitchen was incredibly supplied with all the large and small appliances you could ask for. Perfect to have in suite laundry and showers were supplied with lovely shampoo and body wash. The host communication was excellent and was by far the best I’ve ever experienced. Small issue with a toilet was fixed immediately without an inconvenience. No AC, the unit does get incredibly hot. 2 X standing fans and some ceiling fans. The front bedroom was the most challenging and some difficulty getting the window open created some hot yoga type of nights. For tall adults those beds were also short. Would be perfect for kids. There were 4 adults in our party and the unit was perfect. Close to shipwreck and Poipu beach. Car is a must on this island parking was ample. PoolAnd hot tub area were well maintained, excessively clean and there was no issue with noise. Large storage closet that has a lot of miscellaneous items for use. A couple beach chairs need to be replaced. One doesn’t close for carrying on the back and several leave rust stains on clothing. Otherwise access to a cooler. Snorkelling gear, water shoes, umbrella, etc. Tjanks for a great stay!

Stunning! Listening to the waves all day and night was what I was hoping for. Could not have been closer to the ocean than this condo. Location was perfect. Condo was spotless. Beach equipment was a definite plus! Very private and liked being on the ground floor which had a gate to look over the railings for turtles poking their heads out of the water! Would definitely recommend it and would stay there again.

Such a perfect place! We've stayed in several places around Poipu, but this one was the best, from watching the dolphins and turtles from the lanai, to the SUNSETS - just spectacular. The property description was accurate, and we found it very clean and easy to check in. The starter set of supplies was very welcome! The condo had everything we needed and we met several wonderful people at the pool. Communication with the property manager was A, even answering a question on Easter morning! A very relaxing and beautiful location - thank you for making our anniversary trip one to remember! We plan to return as soon as we can!

Good location for access to attractions and Poipu public beach. The unit is part of an older development than surrounding. Interior has been upgraded and was clean. Some minor appliances did not work; Keurig coffee, icemaker and vacuum cleaner. Biggest issue for us at our age was the several flights of Stairs, being over 65.

This apartment was fantastic- met all our needs and then some for our Kauai vacation. As soon as you open the door you can hear the ocean crashing and we spent several sunrises and sunsets visiting the waves just a few steps away.The apartment itself had everything we needed. It was comfortable, well appointed, and blissfully air conditioned. We were so pleased with everything about our stay. Just as advertised!

Overall, the location was perfect and it was awesome to hang out at the lanai and look at the ocean and hear it. The pool is great as well. Slightly dated on the inside, but still great and location can’t be beat.

The condo was ideal for our family. Clean, fully stocked, and comfortable beds. Conveniently located between Poipu and Shipwreck Beach, it served as a great home base. The view from the lanai was stunning, with a rainbow greeting us on our first morning along with beautiful birds. Our kids loved ending the day with a dip in the pool and hot tub, and we even enjoyed a pickleball game when not exploring the island. The washer and dryer were a lifesaver for packing light! The only downside was the limited seating in the living room, which made it difficult for our family to unwind together. However, the bedrooms had TVs, which helped. Liz and the property managers were very responsive and helpful!

The condo grounds were beautiful. The condo itself is nicely situated near the ocean lookout, pool, and BBQ. There is a walking path nearby that takes you towards the Grand Hyatt and you are within walking distance to Poipu Beach. The kitchen had most everything we needed, the AC was a huge plus, the in unit washer/dryer were perfect (especially with the weather, wet towels don't seem to dry, it was nice to throw them in the dryer when we got back) and the ground floor lanai is nice to relax. Only downside for us was the bed/pillows, both weren't very comfortable for our liking.

The condo was not super clean upon arrival: old dirty bathing suit in one of the drawers, dirty shower doors, lots of sand in the drier. We had a ton of maintenance issues during our stay as well: ice maker and water filter in fridge do not work, AC started dripping profusely and we had to shut it off, it was never fixed during our stay. The hallway lights didn’t work. The lanai screen door stuck a ton and was pretty hard to slide open and closed. No hot water in the shower (for a 9pm shower, not even peak time for hot water usage). The worst issue, however, was the door. Several times, the code box wouldn’t even light up when we pressed buttons on it and we had to wait or try many times (10 minutes or so) to even get it to light up. Apparently maintenance came by to change the batteries in it, but it happened after that too so I’m not sure. On our first night, after returning from dinner with tired and jet lagged children, we couldn’t get the code box to work for an hour and were stuck outside. The rental company told us different codes to try and none worked; even their master code. The lock would just turn and turn for a long time without clicking open. Then, they gave us the code to the lockbox that is supposed to contain the master key, but it was a pool key and didn’t work on the door at all. A lock smith came and confirmed that the lock was not functioning properly, and they replaced the pool key with the master key.

Beautiful place. Very thoughtfully set up, very friendly and communicative host, and wonderful location. Be sure to check out the lava arch, just steps away, and Poipu Beach just a few minutes down the road. Lovely!

Aloha,Well maintained and great management. The best part though, was the lanai. We saw rainbows, sunsets, whales, spinner dolphins, turtles, and birds. If it wasn't such a beautiful island, you would want to just stay at the condo.

Everything was said about the unit is right on. Our family of 5 adults stayed comfortably. The unit provided all of the amenities that we were looking for. The bed mattresses were so comfortable. The unit was cleaned. We appreciate all of the welcomed Hawaii treats. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

This location is perfect. Right next to a wonderful walking/running path along the ocean. Near beaches. And the ocean view is great. There is construction and I did not see that until I had already booked it. They do tell you there is construction, at the very bottom tucked away. The pictures that are shown are extremely outdated. Again I like this location I just didn’t like the listing and how it wasn’t more apparent.

We quite enjoyed our time here! Everything was clean, the property was exactly as described/photographed, and the location was perfect for us. The kitchen was the most well stocked of any rental I've stayed in, and they even included a lot of other extras in the unit like beach towels, chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, body boards, etc. Would absolutely stay here again!

Condo was clean with lots of attention to detail. It was well stocked with all the consumables needed for our stay (like toilet paper, soap, toiletries), as well as a wagon & beach going supplies. Property manager gave lots of local insight and suggestions ahead of stay. During our stay, they were responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Exceeded our expectations. It hard to tell from the photos, but the property is like 100 yards from the ocean! We were able to watch whales, dolphins, and sea turtles from the lookout areas. There is also a trail that starts right to the left of the property that joins with the heritage trail/shipwreck beach nearby. Multiple boogie boards, umbrellas and chairs provided. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds.

This was a wonderful VRBO with access to the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. It is also only less than 5 minutes to drive to Poipu Beach and shipwreck beach. The unit had 4 beach chairs and three pairs of snorkels and fins available for use. The listing does say partial ocean view but the picture shows different, so just realize you have a partial ocean view from a balcony. I would definitely stay here again.

Staying at this property I feel compelled to share my experience thus far, as it has fallen well short of expectations.First and foremost, the information provided prior to and upon arrival was completely inadequate. There was no mention of the required parking pass, which I only learned about after wandering the condo complex and asking others. This caused unnecessary confusion and stress at check-in.The TV situation has also been frustrating. The remote is outdated and barely functional, and I was unable to sign out of the previous guest’s Amazon Prime account—raising privacy concerns and preventing us from watching anything personalized for our family reunion. Something as simple as watching a meaningful movie together became a hassle.No information about the need for pool keys or other aspects of this setting.The unit is also very noisy. There was a domestic dispute downstairs during our stay, and the overall environment is far busier and louder than suggested in the listing.Make no mistake this is not a resort complex but an active community where people live, is very noisy in the early morning. To make matters worse, communication from both the owner and their listed contact has been weak at best—slow, unhelpful, and not particularly solution-oriented. For anyone expecting a seamless experience or attentive hosting, this property does not deliver.Would not recommend unless significant changes are made to the way the property is managed and communicated.
