What Do Guests Think? An Analysis of 1000 Guest Reviews


Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Pili Mai at Poipu earns strong praise for its relaxed, residential vibe in a beautifully landscaped golf‑course setting. Guests love the convenient south‑shore location—usually a 10–20 minute walk or quick 3–5 minute drive to Poipu/Kiahuna/Shipwreck beaches, coffee, dining, and shops—making it an easy home base for exploring Kauai. The on‑site pool, hot tub, small gym, and communal grills are well liked, and many reviewers highlighted quiet evenings and sunrise/sunset coffees on the lanai with mountain, golf course, and occasional distant ocean views.

Condos are consistently described as spacious, modern, and well equipped—especially for families and groups. The popular 3 bed/3 bath (and some 4BR) layouts provide excellent privacy, beds are generally comfortable, and most units include central A/C with ceiling fans, in‑unit washer/dryer, and generously stocked kitchens. Many homes come with thoughtful extras like beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, coolers, pack ’n plays, and high chairs; welcome baskets and responsive hosts were frequently mentioned. Overall cleanliness and upkeep are rated highly across the community.

Common caveats to know: several reviewers noted A/C policies that cap the minimum temp (often around 72–74°F) and occasional uneven cooling in multi‑level units; portable units are sometimes provided when needed. Floors between levels can transmit footsteps, so downstairs units may hear upstairs neighbors. Garages and assigned parking can be tight for large SUVs, and some upper condos require stairs. As with most tropical locales, occasional bugs pop up, and a handful of guests cited periodic cleaning or maintenance hiccups, though managers typically respond quickly. Pool water can feel cool, and basic pantry items/condiments aren’t guaranteed. If sensitive to noise, consider an upper unit; if mobility or parking is a concern, opt for ground‑floor and a smaller vehicle. Despite these notes, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.

Everything was nice, but the bottom unit does receive a fair amount of foot traffic noise from the unit above. Luckily we only had someone above us for a few days.

This 3 bed/bath condo on the golf course was perfect for our two week stay. The views from the lanai were incredible, the neighborhood chickens were fun to watch while enjoying our morning coffee.The unit was incredibly decorated and very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking, etc.Very comfortable beds too.So many local places to eat nearby, several reasonably priced options for food trucks and quirky eateries as well as fine dining options.Parking was easy, the garage had everything we needed for the nearby beaches too.Highly recommend this place, we hope to reurn in the future

New & nice condo. Garage for parking. Unfortunately master bedroom close to road. Upstairs neighbors were loud. Would be quiet depending on who is staying upstairs. Central air conditioning (but capped at 73 for a low). Kitchen is amazing and everything you need.

Condo was clean and comfortable, well stocked kitchen with everything you need to cook a meal. Check in and out super easy, host stayed in contact whole trip making sure everything went smooth. Condo was not as close to the beach as we thought, about a 20 minute walk with a large street to cross. Pool and hot tub were nice.

It had most every thing we needed! I had to buy an ice cream scooper and a brush to coat my veggies to grill. There were only 5 dishwasher tabs. I am a “cook” so run the dishwasher at least twice a day. There were only two kitchen towels. The living room floor needed vacuuming especially by the lamp stands and by the end of the couch.

Great place to stay in Poipu! Close to all on offer in the area. House is set up with everything you need for a long term stay!

We had an awsome time. The condo was amazing. We enjoyed ever second. The view was awesome. It was quite and quiet The pool was incredible. I highly recommend VRBO. However, the only criticism that I have is that I didn't realize that there would be a separate fee for VRBO. You should disclose that information in the ad when viewing condos with v r b o.

Pili Mai is an excellent property. We’ve stayed at various Pili Mai properties 6x now. It forces you to explore the island beaches instead of being trapped at a hotel pool. The unit had everything you needed. Well equipped kitchen, proper bedding, towels etc. we rented chairs and sand umbrellas b/c the ones provided in the unit are in need of replacement. Only two issues to be aware of. The coffee maker does NOT turn off automatically. Please be careful and turn off when heading to beach etc. the other weird thing is the airco turning off and on. You will hear a large boom every time. Once we figured it out, it was kinda comical but did startle us the 1rst night. Great unit and wouldn’t hesitate to rent again. A

This house was perfect for me and my family of 6, great location and lots of food and shopping within walking distance. House was very comfortable and beautiful, lots of room, great appliances and extras and the company was very accommodating to our needs and went above for us. Highly recommend for any family considering this location.

This is an upstairs unit, and the photos truly don't capture its charm. It looks just as good in person!The space was immaculate and well-furnished—everything was fantastic. Two of the bedrooms were en suite and spacious, while the third bathroom and bedroom were also beautifully designed and comfortable.The kitchen was equipped with nearly every utensil and appliance you might need for meal preparation, along with plenty of seating options. It was a lovely space with ample storage.The location was superb! It was just a short distance from the beaches, markets, and restaurants, easily walkable if you prefer. Old Town Koloa was nearby, offering a variety of markets, coffee shops, and dining options.The pool and hot tub were lovely features to enjoy.Overall, my experience at Pili Mai was exceptional, and I will definitely return!Mahalo!

Clean and comfortable. Very spacious condo for everyone to spread out and have their own space. The lanai was well used to take advantage of the weather. Well situated to all planned island activities.

This had to be one of the BEST vacation rentals we have ever stayed at. From the pre-arrival communication, checking in on us, and asking if needed anything after we left. Everything in the listing is 100% accurate plus all the amenities were perfect.

A beautiful property with all the amenities you could imagine…the view’s from the back side lanai were special every morning at sunrise and in the evening at sunset…very easy accessibility to shopping and restaurants..beaches… especially Poipu Beach in the early evening seeing the turtles come ashore to rest for the night…10 stars out of 10 … thank you Vicki.. we hope to return to Kauai next year…

Very nice place, clean and nice furnishings. Close to a nice beach.Quiet neighborhood. Bad view of the golf course parking lot.Had an issue with the water leak detection system which shuts off all water to.the unit. Took some time and plenty of frustration to get the the water turned back on.Some noise from unit above.

We loved our stay here - the condo was so well stocked with everything we needed from toilet rolls to laundry detergent to coolers for the beach.The location couldn't be beaten either - walkable to so many restaurants and the beach.We used the pool and the gym which were both great also.

Amazing space! Beautiful location and amenities. Loved all the additional little amenities (games, kitchen items, etc.) Was plenty of space for our group. The bedrooms do get a bit warm at night with the doors closed.

September 2025

During Check in process I had to ask for the unit and bldg number several times as it was not clear, as stating 5K had no real meaning. The A/C did not work well at all in the first bedroom - the A/C does not carry to that room and the extra device was incredibly loud. The view was of construction so being on the end subjected u to gated up property and noise, the garage was so narrow we had to turn our mirrors in and there was no access to the room from the garage. Otherwise everything else was fine. We did not want to go home!!

Excellent condo. Everything was clean and well stocked A couple of things: kitchen sink water had very little water pressure. In master bathroom the top towel rack was not secured properly and kept falling off. The location of the unit on the website was misleading. I thought we would be facing the golf course. All in all it was fantastic Aloha

This place was amazing! So much space and loved that it had three bathrooms. They provided more than enough amenities and the condo was so clean. I loved having coffee on the balcony and looking at the mountains.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice condo with a nice set up, close to shopping and the beach only negatives not enough hot water. Someone in our group was always taking a cold shower, and the main living area probably could be repainted but other than that was very nice convenient would definitely look to stay here again. Very large on-site pool directly across the street, Well stocked with chairs and umbrellas, sand toys. Great kitchen with large island for cooking breakfast or dinner for the family.

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: We booked this trip for my Bachelorette weekend with a few of my bridesmaids (6 of us total) and had the absolute BEST time! The home was beautiful and had such a great view, perfect for sunset. Everything was updated and clean with the perfect touch of "Modern Hawaii." The beds were comfy, the furniture was high quality and even the couches were comfy! It truly had everything we needed (except for a cocktail shaker but we made do with a shaker bottle lol). We truly did not want to leave. The area is so convenient as there are many stores, restaurants etc. nearby. It is also just minutes away from the main highway for easy access to all sides of the island. The neighborhood was so peaceful, the pool was the perfect temperature (especially at night) and the hot tub was HOT! We had no problems throughout our entire stay and wish we could have stayed longer. I could go on and on but overall, I truly recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway. Ours was perfect.
