Manualoha at Poipu Kai Reviews


The property was everything we expected from the listing and more! The location is perfect for exploring the island or staying locally. Poipu beach is an easy walk even with an 80 yr. old and a toddler. The property had everything we needed and the grounds are beautifully maintained. It include free access to the Poipu Beach Club where we spent 3 days. The club has a great pool with a water slide and a restaurant with poolside service. Michael the host was very responsive to my questions and arrival was easy, no check-in office, we went straight to the front door and entered with an access code. Parking is steps from the condo so no lugging suitcases. Our visit could not have been better! Thank you Michael!

We like the area, we have stayed in the Poipu area for 11 vacations. The downstairs bedroom does not benefit much from the trade winds as much as the upstairs master bedroom. The provided fan helped out but it is loud. We ate out on the patio everyday. My grandaughter was either in the ocean or in the pool. Poipu beach is about a 5 or so minute walk

The property is beautiful. Loved morning coffee on the lanais watching the waves. The unit is very clean and spacious. The portable ac unit in the living room was a plus. The location is close to restaurants and shops. A chilled bottle of wine was a nice surprise when we arrived. We will definitely look to stay here again. Aloha.

This is a very cute condo, older but well-maintained. Ample room for our family and we enjoyed the parents-retreat upstairs while the kids slept downstairs. It is walking distance to the beach, but we chose to drive most of the time. Good street access too so we could explore the island easily. It's not obvious from the listing, but this condo does NOT have A/C (like most places on the island). It is well-ventilated and has ceiling fans throughout. Just in case that's something future renters would like to know. Also, we had a roll-out bed for our third child, but there isn't room in the bedroom for it, so that kid slept in the living room. No big deal, but again a detail that's helpful if you have adults or need more privacy. We would totally rent this place again.

Aloha. After a very long day of travel, opening the front door was welcoming. Everything was as mentioned in the description. This unit has it all! Fully equipped kitchen, very comfortable bed and spacious closet. We needed to utilize the sofa bed and it was equally comfortable. Well stocked "toy" closet with beach items, game, puzzles and books. The lanei is pretty private for catching some sunshine.The grounds are beautiful and the view from the pool was incredible. Overall incredible stay. Mahalo.

The facility boasts an amazing location and is very close to the beach (1 minute walk). The unit was well stocked with necessities, although we didn't cook in at this unit due to our short stay duration. The unit IS very warm, but there are many fans available and with the right setup everyone was comfortable in the evenings. Great unit for families and we would recommend.

Our family of 4 loved our stay here. It’s just minutes walk to Brennecke’s beach where people body surf & boogie board. If you enjoy early morning walks/ jogs, there is a lovely trail on a bluff to Shipwreck beach. We saw many green sea turtles in the area which is a special sighting. The area is full of happy (sunburned) tourists, condos and plenty of restaurants and beaches to delight!

Walking distance to the beach and eating areas. Close to the zip lining location which is I why I chose this for our family to stay at. Happy they had floor fans as well as ceiling fans. The goodies was a nice surprise! Will definitely stay here again!

August 2023

Our family had a wonderful time staying here. Great location, steps from Brennecke’s beach where our boys had a blast boogie boarding. The house is well stocked with kitchen amenities and tons of beach gear. We felt very at home. Beautiful views from the lanais. A few things need some attention: sliding glass door was so difficult to open and close for ventilation and security. Also, we didn’t use the upstairs much because it was so hot at night, being midsummer. The 2 ac units downstairs were great and thankfully there was a queen pull out bed the boys could use instead of the twin beds upstairs, but the separate beds upstairs were one of the reasons I booked here. There is a second pull out downstairs but we couldn’t get it out. So, a few frustrations that are fixable, but a gem of a place otherwise. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

Greatly enjoyed our stay! Unit was a perfect size for 4 and two bathrooms with 2 young adults was a bonus. We had most kitchen supplies needed and the freezer produced ample ice (needed for all the frozen drinks by the pool!). Unit was the farthest away from the pool BUT it actually is a very short, enjoyable walk so no issues with pool access. Pool was always a nice warm temp. The 'pool guard' that comes around should be a little more leinient on allowing you to at least skip a ball in the water when noone else but your group is around :). Perfect location right next to Brenneck Beach - GREAT for snorkelling off to the left (always many turtles) and amazing for bodyboarding!! Also close to the other beaches (Poipu Beach) and resorts, so this is a nice morning walk to see the beached turtles and monk seal. The only recommendations for improvement would be: (1) install a mini-split air conditioner. The main area is not very comfortable during the day or sleeping at night and it is only a small $2k investment (and no you don't get cool breezes that compensate). The main bedroom has a floorstanding A/C which needs to be on all the time just to keep that one room cool. (2). Fix the sliding door out to the lanai. We had to constantly be gentle and play with it to ensure it closes / opens properly (also a security risk); although we felt safe always and the grounds staff provided ample security and let us know when/if the door was open. Thanks! We WILL be back!

The condo was in a great location. Right next to the pool, easy parking, short walk to the beach. I wish it would have had central air, especially for the kids upstairs. It could benefit from a little updating but overall, it was great and had what we needed for our vacation.

This was our first trip to Kauai and this condo was a great place to sleep while we explored the Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon and Popoi. It was clean, beautiful (both inside and the grounds), and had everything we would need. We were a little nervous about the lack on AC upon arrival, but in the end it worked out well. The master bedroom has AC and is lovely, but the rest of the unit does not have AC. I would recommend and stay here again. Thank you!

The property is in a perfect location in Poipu Beech for our needs. Snorkels, chairs, boogie boards and even the wagon add to the fun! Highly recommend. Another AC unit for the loft would go a long way although throughout the night the temperature is more than manageable.

Very disappointed. We were not told when we booked that it was 14 steps up to the front door and once inside 14 steps up to the kitchen. I am 87 years old and my daughter is 67. My daughter carried all the suitcases up to the apartment. We could not use the kitchen because it was on the third floor and I couldn’t go up there. We ate out every day. We asked the manager to get us a one level and she said she would try. I didn’t hear from her. We did not use the third floor. It was a deterrent to our vacation.

This was a lovely condo with great, organized amenities, including beach use items. Grill was a few steps from the back patio. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking and dining. Towels were plentiful. Air conditioners were great in bedrooms. Main part of house was a tad warm late afternoon without air conditioning, but we managed. The location was a nice stroll to several beautiful beaches, but pack a lunch or snacks because it's far enough that our group didn't want to just pop home to make a sandwich. Beds were plenty comfortable. We texted the property manager due to a slow drain in one shower and BOOM- someone was there the very next morning to snake it. The service was very impressive. We'd go there again for sure!

This condo was everything we could have hoped for. It was super clean, the kitchen was so well stocked with everything you need, the location is amazing (walking distance to amazing beaches and restaurants), the view overlooking the green space and tennis courts from the balcony was relaxing with great seating, and the beds and bedding were comfortable! The pools were great and you can see one from the balcony. Location was the best!! Would absolutely recommend this stunning and perfect condo in Kauai.

The place is beautiful and very private! Chris was so quick in responding to our questions and ensuring we felt comfortable in our stay. He's literally thought of every detail so his guests can get the most of our their stay here in Poipu. The location couldn't be more perfect with quick and easy access to many beaches, stores and restaurants. Not to mention, you're so close to breathtaking sunsets and beautiful sunrises. 10 our of 10!!! We hope we can come back soon and stay at this gem!

Location was great, close to pool and beach. The upstairs office off bedroom added a nice space for the two kids. The pool/beach toys were so welcome. And the kitchen had everything we ever needed.

First of all to be FAIR…this condo by owner is well appointed, great location, and kitchen fully stocked. Now for the MANAGEMENT side. Vacasa did a minus ONE star job and the owner should consider changing companies! No dishwasher, tiny refridge (big one not working…lost tons of food due to it only cooling to 50 degrees. Dishwasher would not start. So did dishes on my vacation!! YAY! The worst was: after nearly 15 outreaches to Vacasa…turned out the woman in charge of “that part of the island” went on VACATION and then there was NO ONE taking up her job! I was pissed!! Appliance and MANAGEMENT upgrade truly needed.

This is our second stay and we will back again next year. The location cannot be beat with easy walks to multiple pools and kid friendly beaches with excellent snorkeling. The property is perfect for several couples and kids. Two master suites and an upstairs that could accommodate multiple kids or another couple.

We loved the area - the location was just a couple blocks to beautiful Poipu Beach. The condo was gorgeous, beautifully decorated and all the amenities we could need were provided. We had a problem with the refrigerator which required us to change plans on our last day, since some food spoiled. It was a Friday and direct communication with the property manager(s) was lacking. I still would stay again in a heartbeat with hopes everything was in working order.

To wake up in the condo with a flat tire. After resolved will the car rental, came back to the condo to no hot water. 3 teens, no showers, dishes cleaned or clothes washed. "Someone" told us to go to the Athletic club to shower. (Obviously didn't know our back story). The water heater was replaced after crew spent extra time to find the problem. Hot water the next day! Yay!. Loved the view, beach, sea turtles, monk seals and condo stray cat. We would visit again and suggest Manualoha to friends. In town, Hilo Hatties was not the same. Customer service not great. Food at Brennecks(sp) not great. Aloha spirit seems gone!

We were extremely happy with our stay! It was very clean when we arrived. The pool is an extremely short walk from the lanai. You can see the ocean from the pool which is another very short walk away. There are multiple beaches walking distance or a couple minute drive from this location. There are also multiple shopping centers in the area. If you are staying with littles, you should know there are two steps in the lanai. Our 10 month old is familiar with stairs so we didn’t have any issues! The bedroom stayed pretty cool with the fan on and blinds shut! We will definitely be back!

Gorgeous property, with an easy 10 minute walk to the beach. Welcome goodies were a thoughtful and delicious touch. The master bedroom is a loft, open to the downstairs, allows you to hear the kids on the sofa bed talking at night when they should be sleeping 😉. Not a criticism, but the only spices available are salt and pepper, so bring what you need. We really enjoyed sitting on one of the 3 lanais, especially in the evening. Very comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo. The location in Poipu/Koloa was ideal. Plenty of fun restaurants and stores very near by (even a fresh fruit stand within walking distance to stock up). Just a very short walk to an amazing beach, with all the essentials you may need right in the closet - chairs, umbrella, snorkels, fins, boogie boards and even a cooler. Condo was clean and beds were comfortable. All soaps, shampoos, lotions and cleaning and paper supplies were stocked. Never missed the A/C, as the trade winds brought fresh air (with the provided fans) and bird songs inside. The Britta water filter was a welcome addition to fill water bottles before heading out for the day. Would absolutely return to this home away from home!

My husband and I were looking for a comfortable place to stay for our visit to Kaua’i. This place was perfect - a short walk to beach, beautiful apartment, lovely surroundings. Very quiet in the evening and at night, you can hear the surf and the night sounds. Could not have asked for a better spot. Close to everything, but not busy. Chris was an awesome host, responded to all questions quickly and was able to accommodate our request for an extra day with no fuss. Five stars!!

We had a wonderful stay near Brennecke and Poipu Beach. The unit had everything we needed, including a well-stocked kitchen, beach chairs, and many fans to keep air moving. We didn’t use the portable AC units because they weren’t really necessary. It’s a standalone unit (no shared walls), and the area was quiet and well-maintained. The hosts communicated several times leading up to our arrival and would have been very accessible if we had needed any help.

Day 2 I wiped up something and the paper towel came up brown (not from my piece of food, but from an unclean floor). Am wondering if the floors ever get a good hot wet-mopping or just the disposable pads in closet. I realize that much of this we could have complained about while there, but we ended up spending so much time in the condo because of the multiple days of heavy rain, that we decided against having maintenance/cleaning people coming and going all the time, in order to preserve our privacy.

Our group of four adults had a great week! The condo is spacious and comfortable. Beds very comfortable. The location is perfect for walking to the beach and walking to both Kalapaki Joe’s and Brenneke Beach Broiler for dinner. We spent time at the pool overlooking the ocean every day. Check in was super easy and we had zero complaints in renting this place. Would definitely stay here again.

The equipment room had an odor from beach chairs that had been put away wet. Maintenance came and removed the mildewed items and replaced the chairs. Also the snorkel gear was lacking the snorkel. Had problems with a rodent in the unit but the maintenance crew again was quick to help. The welcoming bottle of wine was a nice touch but I wished there would have been some seasoning and a larger skillet of wok.

We couldn’t imagine a more perfect location- we loved hearing the sound of the ocean, as well as watching magnificent sunsets and whales from the upper lanai. We could walk to multiple beaches each day and still come home for lunch and a break from the sun in the middle of the day because the ocean is so close! Both the pools were enjoyed by our kids- if one was busy it was nice to be able to use the other. We had great communication with our hosts, John and Aana, which was fortunate when the fridge stopped working. They responded right away and despite the difficulty of getting a repairman or a replacement, they saved the day by sending us a generous gift certificate to Brennecke’s Restaurant for the evening I had planned to prepare a special meal for our newly engaged son and his fiancée (as our big Costco grocery stash was going bad and I was uncertain if it was ok to eat). The fridge issue was not easy to resolve but eventually we were able to borrow a small fridge from friends in the area so we could keep bare essentials cold. John and Aana agreed to refund us a substantial portion of our cost, which eased our frustration at the fridge situation. We are so thankful to have been able to stay here, and highly recommend John and Aana as hosts. A drying rack for all the wet suits and towels and some better fitting screens in the windows would make it even better. Thank you John and Aana for your kindness in sharing your special place with our family.

I love Kauai, it’s a beautiful place and the people are incredible. I was disappointed in the condo. The first day there my kids saw a cockroach in the kitchen and it was big, I would say the size of a mouse. We named him Mickey and only saw four other times. I’m sure cockroaches are common in Kauai, but these were the largest I have ever seen. Also one of the reasons we rented a condo was to do laundry and it was broken , they did offer a laundry service but that just not very convenient. And be aware that the A/C is a portable unit in the master bedroom only. We went in March so we never needed it but if it was hot out the upstairs bedroom (a loft closed off to be a bedroom) would be very hot

This was a perfect, quiet get-away home-base for showing our son, daughter, and grandson Kauai. A calm snorkeling beach was within a short walk, complete with turtles and monk seals. We had access to three private pools. The condo and property were spacious, with a separate suite upstairs, a lovely garden lanai, and it was beautifully decorated. Thanks for a great stay!

Outstanding cleanliness, thoughtful details such as a note from the manager, loofas in the shower, Apple TV, great parking, close proximity to beaches and speedy response when I had a question made this well furnished spacious condo a great place to stay.

The location, view and property were perfect. Everything in the condo was comfortable and had everything we needed, including beach chairs, cooler, rain umbrella and roosters for alarm clock 😃 . We will be back!

We stayed 3 weeks in the unit and couldn’t be more pleased. The unit was clean and spacious and the location couldn’t be better. Beautiful sunsets from the lanai off the master bedroom and the lanai off the living room offered privacy and outdoor dining for any meal. The owners and local manager responded quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay here! The condo had everything we needed. We loved that is was in a great location. We could easily walk to the pool, restaurants and the beach. Having access to the athletic club was also wonderful. The only thing we would change/request would be to provide a wagon. Parking at the beach fills up quick. Although its an easy walk, its hard to haul all the gear. A wagon would have been extra helpful. That is a minor detail however and didn't make or break our trip. We would stay here again!

Basically a nice unit with great views and adjacent to the ocean front and good walking paths. I only have one question….why don’t rentals ever have sharp knives??? We always travel with at least 1 good knife.

This property was spacious 1 bedroom suite, well equipped and maintained. The athletic club facilities were excellent. Note it is a 15 minute walk away. The beach is very nice and a 5 minute walk. There are scenic trails to walk along the coast. Management was easy to deal with and responsive.

Great location for getting to poipu beach. Easy check in and check out. Only problem was the high humidity in the house and the bed in the master bed room felt very wet when we went to crawl into bed and had to put bedding in dryer. Also in the other bed room the light would not shut off so had to remove bulb. These seem to be minor issues and would stay again because of location.

The location is ideal for walking to the beach or using the location as your base camp to explore the Island. A quiet community with lots of amenities. Our host Mike was always available and helpful when needed. We had a fantastic holiday. Thank you Mike. From Paul and family. Ottawa

I was impressed how the bbq grill was cleaned very well every day. How did you do get that so clean?

Location cannot be beat. Load up the wagon with beach chairs and boogie boards (all provided in the storage closet) and you’re a 3min walk to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach. We absolutely loved the backyard and my kids spent hours sprinting around. Beds are super comfortable, the loft and 1 bedroom worked great for our family of four. Everything was clean and exactly what we needed. Thank you!!!

The condo was nice and well furnished. Well stocked kitchen and beach items and made for a comfortable stay. The bar isn't really comfortable to eat from (it is chest high when sitting down), but the dining room table was nice and worked for us. Not as clean as we had hoped. Great location, close to beaches, nice pool areas, and easily accessible. We had a great time.

The location, community amenities, and views of the water were great. Unfortunately that’s where the good things stop. Everything inside was a disappointment -- Paint was dirty and chipping everywhere. The dishwasher was rusted out. There was a roach in the bathtub. Balls of hair were on the nightstands. The upstairs carpet had just been replaced but the downstairs carpet was crusty and gross to walk on in bare feet. The furniture was old, dirty, and uncomfortable. All the rooms are open which means no privacy. There were also lots of little touches which were missing, such as no Kleenex, shower wands to help clean sand out of intimate places or lines to hang wet clothes. As for the lack of A/C, yes, we knew this going in and, while it sounds OK in a tropical climate, when you spend all day out on the beach or exploring you look forward to coming back to a comfortable place to rest and relax. This is hard to do when it’s 80+ degrees inside. You also have to leave the doors and windows open 24/7 to keep things as cool as possible which means lots of noise from neighbors. We will never stay in Hawaii without air conditioning again.

We have stayed in the unit twice over the past 5 years. Owners are responsive to inquiry. Great location. New washer/dryer installed. Reasonably well equipped. The Poipu area is special.

We loved our stay in this rental! It's the perfect location for anyone looking to easily scamper down to Poipu/baby beach with their little one. Nothing beats the immediate access to a world-class beach. The unit was well-equipped with nicer furniture, towels, etc. The kitchen was spacious and well-stocked for anyone looking to cook at home. The gear closet was great too—we used the boogey boards and chairs. The only equipment I'd consider adding would be a fold-up wagon for toting all the gear down to the beach (we rented one and used it frequently). The bed was firm but comfortable. And Chris was highly responsive and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

This home was exactly as shown in the pictures and was a wonderful. Well maintained, clean, renovated, very short walk to the beach, tennis courts and 2 pools. We also had access to the Poipu beach athletic club which we used. Kitchen had everything one would need, beds were comfortable and bedrooms had A/C, area was quiet and you could see the sunset from the living room. We were so happy with our stay here.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. The view of the ocean and beautiful surroundings from the lanai exceeded our expectations. The short walk to the Poipu area beaches was super convenient. We also enjoyed the condo unit itself. Will definitely consider staying here again in the future.

Nicely decorated condo in Poipu just a 5 min walk to Brennecke and Poipu beaches. Well equipped kitchen. Free access to Poipu Club workout facilities a plus! There were 5 adults in our group, we might have liked a bit bigger condo, but it worked. The upstairs bedroom with the two bunk beds was very small. Not a problem though as it was only used for sleep. Air conditioning units in each bedroom provided enough cool air for sleeping. Overall, we enjoyed the location and proximity to the beach and walking paths.

What a lovely place to spend a very special holiday season with my family. We were a family of four (kids: 20 & 18) and my elderly mom. We loved the space and the location was great! Easy walk to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach, quick drive to restaurants and local sites. Full kitchen and full size laundry was helpful. Lovely patio with a full dining table was great. Air conditioners in the rooms kept sleeping cool. Lots of beach toys, chairs and boogie boards.

Wish we’d had longer to enjoy all the lovely sitting areas / lanais and enjoy the peace and quiet. The place was well equipped with all we needed for our stay and very comfortable. Check in / check out was a breeze. Handy to shopping / eating areas

Nice to have beach chairs, towels, etc. available for our use. Also super to have laundry facilities. Beautifully maintained pool with view of ocean. Very friendly maintenance crew. A very comfortable, enjoyable stay.
