This condo is an end unit and well appointed. We enjoyed the location and it felt like home.

We loved how clean and welcoming this property has been during our stay in Kauai. The pool with an ocean view was a plus! No complaints about this property other than we wish we could stay longer. 🌺✨

The condo was well stocked convenient to everything we wanted to do and super clean. The furnishings made it feel homey and the location and access to pools was perfect for our two kids ages six and nine. It came well stocked with equipment for the beach and pool as well, which we appreciated. The air conditioning was an added plus! We will definitely be back.

Well maintained unit. Very homey. A great place to relax with family and friends. Steps away from pool, tennis courts, grills and the beach.

It was a wonderful visit and a great location. Loved the two pools and being so close to the ocean. Also, accompanied our family with having a pack and play, high chair, and a blowup mattress. Had all you needed for the beach…chairs, umbrella, cooler, snorkeling gear, etc. Would definitely stay here again!

Really nice accommodations. Bed was very comfortable. AC in bedroom was really nice, but would have been better if there was another for the living area. Beach chairs were great, with pillow, cooler, drink holder and place for cell phone.

Our family of 5 stayed for 9 days. The location was amazing! A very short walk to the beach and food. The condo was very clean and had everything it advertised. We did have an issue with the main bedroom shower being clogged but we called and they sent someone out that same day to address it! The 3rd bedroom upstairs gets pretty warm in late afternoon even with the air conditioner but not enough to be a huge deal. All 3 bedrooms had air conditioning which was nice. The beds were all comfortable and the pillows were great! We loved using the beach umbrellas, chairs, beach towels and boogie boards available! We would definitely recommend this condo and we would for sure visit again!

Located very close to the beach, great pool, multiple barbecues onsite, and relaxing rear lanai.

This condo has a perfect location and wonderful amenities. We were able to walk to Poi Pu beach and Shipwrecks beach daily to watch either the sunrise or the sunset. The condo had everything we needed. We loved the beach chairs, umbrella and wagon. The rental process was a breeze with Destination Kauai. We can't wait to come back.

Beautiful condo! Easy check in and check out processes. Well appointed with everything we needed during our stay, including beach gear! Loved having an in unit washer and dryer. Parking was no problem and the proximity to the beaches was nice! My only suggestion would be to add more portable AC units, as the 2 provided did not suffice to cool down the condo enough to sleep comfortably until the outside temps dropped overall in the middle of the night. Aside from this, we had a great stay and would return in the future!

The condo is beautiful and very modern. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. The property is gorgeous and we were just a one minute walk from the pools and tennis court. There is a restaurant on site as well. Poipu beach was easily walkable and had good waves for boogie boarding. It got a little warm in the afternoons since there is no AC in the living room, but I would stay here again for sure!

We stayed at this condo for a week. We loved every second during our trip and can't wait to go back. It is close to the beach and easy to walk to a bar.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay. The view and location can’t be beat. Walk to beach within minutes. Two pools on site and a short drive to Athletic Club. The house isn’t super fancy so if you’re looking for central AC and top of the line furniture, floors, and bathrooms you’ll be disappointed. I thought it was perfect. Tons of beach items available which was excellent. We would 100% stay here again.

This unit was awesome, location was close by to shopping and restaurants. We arrived a little early (30 minutes) and they allowed us to check in early. The place was clean. When we arrived the place was a little hot, they had portable ACs going as well as the ceiling fans. Upstairs was a little bit hot and stuffy the first few days during our stay. One of the locals suggested opening the upstairs windows to let air in which we did and it was waaay better! The upstairs definitely cooled off and was very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again!

The property is well maintained and manicured, just 10min walk from Poipu beach. Absolutely beautiful location, with plenty of activities and restaurants nearby. Our only gripe was that the mattress was very firm, which kept us from sleeping well at night.

Perfect little get away just steps to Poipu beach.

The location was the best part! A 5 min walk to the beach and it was nice and quiet. Our biggest complaint was that we chose this location because of the pickleball courts, but you have to pay to use them. This was not mentioned anywhere in the listing so that was frustrating. Also, they give you the bare minimum for toilet paper and paper towels so be prepared to buy more. The place was decently clean, but the sheets and a couple towels needed to be washed again. Luckily it had a washer and dryer. Also, the top room and living room were a little warm some days, so if you want good AC, this is not your place. They had a good amount of beach chairs and only one boogie board. The pool was nice with a good view of the ocean. Overall the location really made the place worth it.

Awesome location for a great condo stay. Next to the pool and very short walk to the beach. Some updates are needed, but when you’re in Hawaii, these things matter very little. We would stay here again. PS: Buy some puzzles, games and videos. It rained for our first three days.

Property was clean inside and out. Nicely outfitted kitchen. Accommodations were clean, spacious, and comfortable. Beautiful pool near Brennecke’s beach. Access to the beach club pool and gym across the street at the Cabana Bar was an unexpected surprise. Easy walk for small children to the beach areas. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely book again.

Absolutely loved our wonderful Vacation Rental Poipu Kauai! It was beautiful, quiet, CLEAN and filled with thoughtful upgraded amenities like lush towels and sheets, toiletries, beautiful appliances, snorkels, fins, boogie boards, ice chest, beach chairs and it included a washer and dryer. They thought of everything to make their guests feel at home. The open view from the large windows across the entire back of the home gave you the feeling of being right in the middle of the lush tropical nature of this very special island Kauai! Thank you Chris - our favorite thing was NO Keys were needed for entry and when leaving. One less thing to think about! Thank you for making the process so easy from booking to Aloha!🌺❤️🌴

We loved this place. We were all so sad to leave. A short walk to the beach made it the perfect spot. Thank you!

Property has a great location with amazing views. Lots of space and areas to lounge around and enjoy the peace and quiet.The only thing I wish could be changed is the access to the pool, which locations is quite far from room, and you need the key to get into the gate....and to let yourself out. It was quiet weird and inconvenient considering we had 1 key for 6 guest to share. Overall we enjoyed our stayed and would try this place again for our staycations.

Cost, well stocked unit- easy walk to pool and beach. Very happy with area and the unit!

May 2024

This place didn't disappoint. No one above or below you, was nice and quiet. The lanai was great and you couldnt really see the neighbors so it was private. The shower and bathroom were roomy and had decent hot water and pressure. Walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants with bars. Chris was great to work with and replied to questions quickly. We will definitely rent this place again when visiting Kaua'i!

Only things that weren't great was the refrigerator and the beds were really hard, could use ac in the front room, other than that everything else was great

This condo was perfect for our two-week vacation and is located within walking distance to several beautiful beaches, restaurants, and shopping. We enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, beach equipment, and luxury bath towels. Especially loved the lanai for early morning breakfasts and cool tropical breezes! Definitely deserves a five-star rating!

The first three of an 8 night Kauai stay was in this condo. It was a great way to start our vacation. The entry directions were simple and clear. Unlocking and locking the door was a breeze thanks to the keypad. The entire unit had a tropical feel to it, and the back patio was ideal for morning coffee or afternoon beverages. Foliage provided privacy from other units. Beach towels, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs were provided. It was a 5 minute walk to Poi’Pu and Brennecke’s (?) beach. Old Koloa Town was a short drive. The kitchen was well supplied and had modern features. We would definitely recommend this to anyone coming to the area.

This place was incredible and exceeded our expectations. The community is fantastic with 3 swimming pools, 6 tennis courts, a restaurant, a rental shop, easy walk to the beach, and restaurants. I couldn’t ask for more. I would buy a place here I loved it so much.

We loved our stay. The home has everything you need for the beach. You cannot beat the location. One small thing we would like to see just a little bit of simple maintenance around the interior of the condo. But cannot beat this home. We will book again.

Beautiful place. Loved the location to the beach and the setup of the condo. Only suggestion is to have a book that details where to find the pool, how to operate the TV, and nearby attractions. We took a key to the pool but it was the wrong one, or so we think. Overall our stay was excellent. Thank you!!

All the amenities one needs for a great Poipu stay. Nice, quiet master and cute, simple loft with twins. We had a teen use sleeper sofa in loft, which worked well. Kitchen has all needs covered. Chairs and boogie boards to use. Simple parking and nice pool. All just very easy peasy. And super clean and comfy. Great communication, too. Terrific location. Easy walk to Brenneck’s and Poipu Beach. Poipu has excellent snorkeling, and at this time, we saw basking Green Turtles and Monk Seals. Walk to several restaurants.

Great location to beach and pool. However there is no AC like listed on the website as well as no coffee grinder or French press. The place was extremely clean though.

The location is amazing and the view is great. Owners are quick to answer questions. We knew from past reviews it was dated but I would also say rundown. Bathrooms were clean but that was it. Rusty fans. Duck tape fail fix on the AC unit. Kitchen dirty with almost unusable pans/supplies. Beach chairs are nice all other supplies broken and need replacing. I did give all our issues to the host and they did say they would look into it. So fingers crossed maybe better in the future.

I have stayed in many condos but this one by far the best. Comfortable beds, cool breezes to cool you down at night. Over all the condo was large enough to accommodate our family of four. My husband was suppose to come but he passed this last December so this was great place to relax and grieve. Thank you for a wonderful place.
