Septic smells from parking lot filled the condo. Had to keep sliding doors shut. Everyday. This was awful. The Air Conditioner did not keep the lower bedrooms cool. The screens on the sliding doors where off trackThe sliders had curtains that did not provide privacy and were dirty and torn. Washer had mold Dryer door would not shut and had to be taped to closeCoffee grinder did not workNot enough paper towelsPillows had no support

The condo had everything! I mean everything! The beach chairs, boogie boards, wagon were so handy for our beach days. The beach is literally a 1 min walk. The beds were comfortable. The living room furniture was high end with pull out bed. We cooked meals and made lunches each day to take on our day trips. The kitchen literally had everything. We would stay at this exact place again hands down.

What stood out most was truly everything — especially the host. They went above and beyond throughout the entire process and made our stay seamless and welcoming. The amenities were perfect for our family, and the location couldn’t have been more ideal — extra close to the beach with beautiful ocean views. We were lucky enough to see whales right from the deck, and being within walking distance to the sea turtles was unforgettable. Seeing them every single day made this stay incredibly memorable.

This place is well located, and there are some very convenient bits of equipment left around like boogie boards and snorkeling things and chairs for the beach and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Overall, we’re very pleased with our stay here.

Fabulous all around! The location was spectacular. Just a short walk down to the beach for boogie boarding and snorkeling. The grounds were beautiful and onsite activities (pool and tennis/pickleball courts) were great fun. The condo was beautifully maintained, very comfortable and well stocked will all the essentials. The host was fantastic with communication, check in was a breeze. And then any question during the stay were answered lightning fast! We definitely recommend.

Great location with great views of the ocean overlooking Brennecke's Beach just east of Poipu Beach, both an easy walk to and from. The Condo was quiet and comfortable with all the kitchen utensils needed. Bedrooms were clean, quiet and comfortable.

loha! We absolutely loved our stay at Nihi Kai 203 in Poipu. The location truly does not get better. You are right next to Poipu Beach, with ocean views and the convenience of being poolside, which made everything feel effortless and relaxing.Check in and check out were incredibly easy, and there was always someone available if we had a question, which made the entire stay feel seamless and stress free.The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully laid out. And if you like to cook, this kitchen is basically a chefs kitchen. It was fully equipped, spacious, and perfect for cooking meals at home after a day at the beach. Morning coffee on the lanai with the sound of the ocean was a highlight, and evenings were just as peaceful.Being steps from the pool was ideal, whether it was a quick dip or just relaxing nearby. We also loved how walkable everything was. Beach time, sunsets, and nearby dining were all right there without needing to hop in the car.If you are looking for a place that feels like true Kauai living with an unbeatable location, Nihi Kai 203 is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again.Mahlo

Stephen is a gracious, well organized, responsive & helpful host. So, as one would expect, his place was perfect in every way.It's an ideal location, yards from the Ocean, a block from the beach, with a sunset view & adjacent to two nice tennis courts.The condo itself is as advertised. Newly remodeled, amazing & fully stocked kitchen. Ideal for cooking & entertaining.This 2 BR condo actually has 4 lanais, two upstairs & two downstairs, so if ya need a little a separation from whomever you are traveling with, you've got it.We only have one regret and that is that out a nearly 2 week trip, we didn't allocate more nights to staying at Stephen's condo. Now we know!

Excellent place, fully stocked, well thought out, washer and dryer a must while traveling with kids, cold A/C, loved the seperation of space with two stories, great view of the ocean, saw spouting whales, only steps away from the sea turtles, and we used the heated pool every day... Would definitely stay here again!

The best VRBO we have ever stayed at! From the communication with the owner, to the location, and the all the amenities included with the unit, it was fantastic! Great location on the south side of the island. Walk out the door and you are two blocks away from Brennecke's beach and further on is Poipu beach. Beautiful condo complex and we have never seen so many amenities in a unit (beach chairs, coolers, umbrella, snorkel gear, pickleball ball equipment....I could go on). Also, walking distance to several resorts (including the Grand Hyatt). Would not hesitate to stay here again if we return.

The host was fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. We needed a cookie sheet, asked if one was available, when we returned to the condo later that day a set of cookie sheets awaited us. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and inviting. We enjoyed our stay and the view was awesome!

This was a very comfortable and lovely place to stay! The host was extremely responsive. The location is wonderful, and we walked to the beach and nearby restaurants. The three of us felt very comfortable in all the shared spaces and thoroughly enjoyed spending time together. We couldn't quite figure out the television, but that was okay. We used the pool as well, and the unit is so close to the pool, and the parking was extremely easy! We appreciated the beach towels and laundry as well. You will be so happy you stayed here!! .

This unit was so nice! It had everything we needed for our two week stay. The kitchen is very well stocked and the lanai is perfect for coffee in the morning and sunsets at night. The living area is HUGE and very comfortable. We hope we can stay here again.

Villa is very nice and well equipped. Beautiful views/sunsets! Only issues were the latch on the dryer was missing (had to tape it shut-tape was provided), bldg. was not marked with a number so that it was visible from the street (had trouble locating the bldg.). Host was great and very responsive. We would recommend this villa/host!!
October 2025
overall the property was fine. Some issues were: The unit is very outdated. They do not clean the unit well at all. The cabinet knobs were all nasty sticky. Underneath the couch was very dirty with large pieces of waste. They should move the furniture when cleaning, it was obvious they didnt. Front door was not secure. When the front door is locked, one can still easily turn the doorknob and come in.

Great place! The location and view were amazing. The house was stocked with everything you need for the beach/pool and any cooking you want to do. We would definitely stay here again.

Our family of four just spent 7 nights at this condo. It was spacious, clean and in a great location. Very walkable to the beach and a couple restaurants. We appreciated the use of the chairs, umbrella, and boogie boards. The view from the deck was beautiful and we really enjoyed drinking our morning coffee while sitting out on the patio. The first few days of our trip were really hot and the primary bedroom got really really warm. We used the fans to air it out and try to cool it, but even at bedtime the room was still pretty warm to sleep. Thankfully it was a little cooler for the end of our trip. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we really enjoyed the condo!

All of the staff we talked to were very friendly and helpful. We really appreciated the air conditioning. The beds, including the sofa bed, were very comfortable. The location was perfect. The main suggestion I would have is to replace the thin older drapes with something that provides more privacy. We felt that people could see into the bedrooms and living room since we could see out. This would not stop us from staying here again though or from highly recommending this place! Also, the listing states there are 3 bathrooms but there are only 2, both downstairs, so that should be adjusted.

The place was well located to many things. The area was walkable but you do need a car to most things or get around the island. We loved sitting out on the lanai enjoying the weather & beautiful view. I would stay here again 100%!

Our family had such a great experience staying at this condo. The condo was spacious, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to feel comfortable. Waking up to the ocean view each day was just magical! April and Christie were wonderful to work with—friendly, responsive, and made everything so smooth from booking to checkout. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we’d love to come back!
