This condo overlooks the ocean and pool and is an excellent location. Communication with the property manager was easy and check in and check out were simple. The condo is well appointed and had everything we needed and more.

We had such a fabulous time staying at the Nihi Kai Villas in Poipu. Our stay was very comfortable and pretty accurate to what the listing had shown. There were a couple of times where we needed some assistance and the online text were very prompt and helpful. We would certainly recommend this villa to anyone interested in staying.Missing Kaua’i already!!!

We normally stay on the east side of the island, but decided to mix things up and Nihi Kai did not disappoint. The condo was very thoughtfully updated. Beds were super comfy, and we appreciated all the extras like beach wagon, sand toys, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. Property grounds, including pool, were super clean and well maintained. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an absolutely wonderful week! It was the perfect place for us to stay with our two 20-something year old sons. The condo was beautiful and fully stocked with everything that you will need for fun beach trips (two beaches within walking distance) and exploring the island. We were also impressed with the abundance of dishes, pots/pans, glassware and kitchen gadgets, coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. that were available for our use. The condo manager, Stephen was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions/needs. We loved having our coffee and breakfast out on the back deck every morning, with the ocean, flora and fauna in the background. Our week in Kauai at this Nihi Kai condo was one of our favorite vacations yet! We look forward to returning some day!

This place was perfect for our family. Plenty of room, kitchen was well stock with all kinds of pots, pans, dishes, all kinds of glasses. We had everything we needed when cooking. View was wonderful, just a 8-15 minute walk to the beach depending on which one you went to. The pool was a nice break from the beach when needed. Check in and checkout was simple. South side of Kauai is where you want to be. Sunshine with an occasional shower that lasted maybe 2 minutes. You can access to the rest of the island with very little trouble. Hanalei is an hour, Kapaa is 30 minutes, Lihue 15. The best part is the location of this condo. We spent 9 days and enjoyed everything to the max. We can't come back soon enough.

The condo is very clean, nice and spacious and the amenities are plentiful; we especially liked the well equipped kitchen. AC works well throughout the unit. Nice supply of equipment to use for beach outings, and easy walk to local beaches. The grounds are well kept and the pool area is a special retreat with ocean view. The owner is an A host. A great find that we will try to book when we return to Kauai.

Well stocked kitchen, comfy beds, good linens. Lots of fans to keep cool at night. Pool was excellent and beaches a short walk away. Plenty of beach chairs, cooler and umbrella. Bathrooms are all downstairs with the bedrooms which is kind of hard to tell from the pics. Overall very pleased.

We had a great stay in Kauai. The Condo is a very short walk to Poipu beach and you can enjoy watching the turtles every day. It is even close enough to walk down to the Marriott or Sheraton (shipwreck beach). The owner will send you information on different locations ideas. The condo is very clean and comfortable. The owner needs to fix the sliding doors to the patios, major problem trying access the great beach equipment they have left for use.

I just enjoyed a week in Kauai with my family in this beautiful condo. The property grounds are gorgeous, it’s a short walk to a beautiful beach and is perfectly stocked with everything that a family needs. The property management company is top notch, the best that I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend booking this condo!

Kauai was our last stop on our two week trip to Hawaii. Kauai was a perfect last stop for rest and relaxation and Poipu Beach was a great place to be. The condo is well located for access to the beach - about a block to the ocean. It was nice having the living space and the bedrooms on separate floors so people could sleep in without being bothered. We thought this was a great place at a great price - would recommend it strongly!

We stayed at this condo for our babymoon and it was the perfect getaway! From start to finish, everything was super easy and smooth—exactly what we needed for a relaxing trip. The condo was just right for our little family of three, and the location couldn’t have been better. Everything in the listing was exactly as described, if not better. We made such special memories here and truly felt at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back again—next time as a family of four!

First time in Kauai for our family of 4 - parents two teen boys and this place was so perfect for us. The host was super easy to reach and chat with via text, and often checked in to make sure we had what we needed. They provide all the things - soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, dish soap, paper towels, toilet paper - so all you moms and dads out there can take that stuff off your shopping list. We spent every morning and evening on the balcony staring at the palm trees. It's about a 3-5 minute walk to Brenneke Beach and 5-7 minute walk to Poipu Beach (depending on how fast you walk). It's very close to those two beaches. Our kids utilized the property swimming pool as well. They also have the beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling stuff and coolers - all on the front porch area to use. It was just really nice to not worry about those things. I would highly recommend this place!

This property was amazing.Jeffery was a very helpful and attentive host.He responded quickly with any questions we had.The check in process and directions were very clear, It was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were very well stocked and clean. The kitchen had everything you could need and it was all in great condition. Not old junky used pots and pans that are all damaged and hard to cook on.The extra supplies for the kitchen, bathroom and laundry were very helpful and saved us from having to buy a lot of extras. The Villa was very close to the beach, we were able to walk there in less than 5 minutes, and if you just want to watch the sunset the Ocean was right at the end of the road, less than 5 minutes. Brenneckes beach was the perfect place to practice a little boogie boarding.There was a nice rental place just a block from the beach called Nukumoi Surf Co. where you could rent boogie boards for 20 each for 24 hours.My kids and husband had a blast!That is about the only thing you will need to rent,Jeffery had everything else we needed.There were plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, all sizes of coolers, snorkeling equipment and beach towels.All of the equipment was in like new condition.If you like to see Sea Turtles and Monk Seals, Poipu beach is about a 7 minute walk and they are on the beach all day.Go around sunset and watch them come up on the beach for the night.The pool was also very clean and relaxing, it overlooks the Ocean!

This unit is in a great location and has all the amenities! Well stocked with everything we needed for our week long stay. Quiet and very spacious unit with a nice lanai for our morning breakfasts and to watch the sunsets on. Plus it is an easy walk to Poipu beach to see the sea turtles. Good communication to find the unit and get in and an accommodating host when we had special requests. We would easily recommend this unit to our family and friends!

The location of the condo is wonderful - the corner unit is quiet and the view from the upper and lower balconies are beautiful! A perfect place to watch the sunset, eat a meal and has retractable shades. There are air conditioning units in all living areas and ceiling fans to make the condo as comfortable as you like. The furniture is comfortable as well as the beds. The split level was great to give a family space to recharge. The kitchen is gorgeous and well equipped- with a BBQ grill steps away. Wifi was easy to connect to and was fast. Having two full bathrooms was wonderful and both are beautiful and spacious. A full washer and dryer worked perfectly. Spacious closets and space to unpack.A quick walk down to the beach and Poipu Beach Park/Restaurant/Surf & Beach rentals.We loved our stay and plan to return!

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.

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.

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

Reviewer Comments:
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.
