The Good: The location of the condo, the proximity to the beach and the breathtaking views of the ocean from the living room and deck, were nothing short of amazing! The check in process was easy. The kitchen was fully stocked. The Not So Good: The overall cleanliness of the condo. The deck seat cushions and the kitchen chair cushions were all stained/ dirty. The rugs in the bathrooms were dirty. The carpeting in the living room & down the stairs was stained/ dirty. The living room furniture was old and uncomfortable. The shower curtains in both bathrooms were molded. There were no instructions anywhere to operate anything. There was a laminated booklet in the kitchen with sightseeing info but no instructions. While all of this is probably pretty normal with a rental, its still disappointing when you choose a spectacular location to stay, and end up having to deal with these issues. The phone number for the property management company was not found until later in the week, it was on framed instructions 1/2 hidden behind the toaster in the kitchen. At this point, we had 2 days left to our vacation and didn't want to deal with the intrusion of property management for things that should have been done prior to our arrival. After our vacation, we did reach out to the host Steve to convey all of these issues & he was prompt and genuine in his response. Overall, this is a fantastic location. With some attention to details this could be the best place to stay!

The location was perfect for Whales and Sunsets. I enjoyed closeness to two beaches one with exceptional snorkeling, turtles and monk seal sightings. Puka Dog and Little Fish Coffee, SO YUM. Don’t forget to go to Keoki’s Paradise for live music and delicious food. When returning to the South Shores of Kauai, this is the places Ill be staying. Comfy beds, beach chairs, and fully stocked kitchen made our stay comfortable and easy.

Great property with all the amenities. Conveniently located to the ocean view pool and kid friendly beach. Short drive to lots of food and shopping.

Nice place and we loved the location. It was well furnished with everything we needed. We had some difficulty with the microwave door getting stuck and not opening. That happened twice although it was promptly fixed both times. We also could not get the TV to work but they sent a technician to fix it, which he did. It's not necessarily anyone's fault, but we felt we spent too much time waiting for things to get fixed. For the money spent, it was a little disappointing.

We had a lovely stay in this unit. The location could not be beat and access to the pool was easy. The unit was well stocked and provided a nice home base while we were in Poipu. The fans were essential in staying cool at night.

Just like the pictures. Everything was clean and well stocked to get us started. A/C in the bedroom was nice for sleeping, didn't use it in the rest of the place as it was comfortable with just fans. 5 mins to the beach, pool was great for watching sunsets, quiet at night and parking right close to the apartment. Scott was quick to respond and gave us great information to get to and in to the place. Would definitely stay again if we ever make it back to Kauai

Great location for easy access (walking) to several beaches and dining options. The condo was in very good condition (clean, updated kitchen and bathrooms), provided many products (bathroom soaps/shampoo, laundry and dishwasher detergents, basic kitchen spices-salt, pepper, soy sauce, vinegars). It had great views of the sunset from the lanai and we loved swimming in the pool, which had lovely views of the water. We will stay here again.

It is a nice unit with the biggest draw being the easy walk to the beach. It is well appointed with a view of the water over a couple roofs within the complex. It was very quiet. One of the bonuses was the beach gear they provide, including chairs, boogie boards, even snorkel equipment. Better instructions for the TV and air conditioning unit would be nice.

Jeffrey’s condo had everything we could ask for and more. It was in a perfect location to explore the island and to walk to 2 perfect beaches, see the sunset at night and get the bonus of seeing 20 sea turtles on Poipu Beach each evening! We will definitely stay here again when we return to the spectacular Garden Isle.

Very spacious condo in pretty, quiet complex a few blocks walk from beaches. Bit of a hill to get back! Nice view, a little dated inside but everything you need. However, a new coffeemaker, clock and a spray of WD-40 on the patio door would be useful! Wish we could have stayed longer.

Everything was pretty great really. Everyone was friendly and helpful when needed.Nice and close to the beaches (where there's great snorkeling). Turtles and Monk seals lolling on the beach every day, as did we!Be aware the bedrooms and bathrooms are downstairs, so there's a bit of built-in cardio.Only suggestions would be to have a designated smoking area and a metal spatula for the BBQ grills.Mahalo for a great stay!Only

My son had a little league baseball tournament on Kauai and along with our team, we had a short staycation of 4 nights at Nihi Kai. Everything was as explained on the VRBO site. The short walk to Poipu Beach and the pool and bbq areas were a hit with the baseball team. Jeffrey is an outstanding host and easy to get hold of. He made our trip a memorable one and we will definitely return if we have another tournament on Kauai.

We loved this condo, its location, and the pool. The kitchen was updated and well appointed. I’ve never had such sharp knives in a rental! Having the washer and dryer was awesome and the owner was very responsive and helpful. We stayed for 13 nights, and my only complaint would be the mattress was too squishy, but that is such a personal thing. Walkable to Poipu and Puka Dog.

We were here for almost two weeks. The place is just lovely: great view, beautiful condo with two bedrooms and two baths. The place was updated and very clean. They provided 2 beach chairs and two sets of goggles and one set of face mask/ snorkel and flippers and towels. Read the guest book for recommendations. And download the app Revealed ( Kauai version) for more recommendations.* The only thing you need to be aware of is it is three flights of stairs to get up to the condo, which is how you get the gorgeous view from the balcony. But it’s tough getting luggage up there!! We would definitely go back!! It’s walking distance to Poipu Beach to see the green sea turtles, monk seals and swim. The pool is large enough to swim laps and having a washer and dryer combo is convenient for sure.

This place is wonderful. Jeffrey has truly thought of everything. We did a lot of cooking while we were there and he had every piece of equipment and most of the staples and spices that we needed. He had plenty of beach chairs and snorkeling equipment available.The beds are comfortable, it is very clean, and the location is incredible. Just a short walk to one of the most beautiful snorkeling beaches I’ve ever been to. We were able to walk down at sunset to watch the turtles, and snorkel at Poipu during the day. This is one place I would definitely return to. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We had an incredible vacation.

The condo complex is nice and the unit has a good view of the ocean from the lanai. The unit was large, well equipped, it had good air conditioning in the living room and both bedrooms. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, beach towels and some snorkel gear.
Issues: The couch was pretty dirty (we put a sheet over it). The kitchen had ants (we kept all food in the fridge). The stove top did not work well (manager said it is scheduled to be replaced).

What an ideal condo, resort, location and view!!! Easy stroll to Poipu Beach through gorgeous garden path! Resort pool divine! Clean and completely appointed with even beach towels, beach chairs and water bottles!!! One of the most comfortable king beds ever!!! Great central location especially to incredible restaurants!! Safe, well-lit resort with manicured, beautiful grounds! Truly a wonderful week in Kauai and would stay there again in a heartbeat!!
Be aware the hike upstairs to the penthouse is not for anyone with issues with heart or disabilities! We were fine but there are definitely steps!! And please change your listing to include the lovely second bedroom! The condo is actually 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths!!! I almost didn’t book bc we thought we had more family going but since they couldn’t I did book it but we could have easily had plenty of room for them but listing needs to reflect the bedrooms and beds!
Thank you for all of the care and for making this our perfect place in Kauai paradise!!!

The communications from the beginning was excellent. An exact map was even sent, as all mapping software is a little off in the area.
The multiple lanai areas of the condo were great, the two in the back (upper and lower) were where I spent much of my time while in the property.
A short walk is the rocky shore at the ocean, with amazing views, and just a bit more of a walk and there is a beach. (Don't forget to walk a little farther and see the turtles at sunset and sunrise).
It was a very quiet area to stay at night. And literally everything you need already (gadgets and pantry items abound) in the condo, minus good and drinks.
Such a wonderful place and host, I look forward to staying here again on my next trip!!

This is a great property! Very close to Poipu and Brennecke Beach, about 10 minutes to Koloa. Maybe 40 feet from the pool. We have stayed in this complex twice now and we were happy this one has AC… the bedrooms are downstairs without much air flow and depending on the time of year can get pretty hot and stuffy. The only thing we wished it had was a bathroom upstairs but that’s absolutely not a dealbreaker for a future trip. We would stay here again!

The location is fantastic, the view is epic! The photos don’t even do it justice.
One thing that I wish I had known ahead of time is that all the doors on the lower floor are louvered, meaning any sound that occurs in the bedrooms or bathrooms is entirely audible to anyone else in the unit. I know that this is a common thing in tropical climates and is needed for airflow. This is certainly not the only rental in Hawaii with these doors. It definitely changed the dynamic of our stay, we have a new level of intimacy in our friendships. 😜

Paperwork said there would be a safe in the room and we looked everywhere for it. There was not one
It was very hot when we arrived and no air conditioning. Need fans upstairs and down, we had to carry them up and down the stairs. The beds were comfortable.

We arrived late at night. The drive to Nihi Kai was a bit scary, dark and narrow roads but we made it. Door code is a smart convenient way to get in to the place for arrival after office hours. It was nice to enter into a beautiful place that’s clean and well furnished. Beautifully decorated. Simple and clean look.
