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.

Enjoyed our stay at this property. Would definitely recommend. Garage parking space was a bit tight for our rental SUV.

Loved the community grills and other amenities. Loved the ease of getting in and out a close to shopping and beach! It was so nice to have 3 bedrooms and 3 baths for privacy! Washer/Dryer were a plus! Lanai had nice furniture and enjoyed my mornings and evenings there. The kitchen was fully equipped for cooking our catch from deep sea fishing as well as other meals! This condo lacked nothing for our week. Loved the beach equipment as well!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beautiful condominium worked well for our family of was spacious, well-equipped, and conveniently located for activities along the eastern and southern shores of Kauai. In addition to great beaches within walking and/or 5 min. drive, there is also a very nice pool, hot tub and work out area for all Pili Mai guests. Our only wishes were that the cockroach population was better controlled prior to our stay and that we had access to instructions for the AC. It was set for a good day time temperature but it was quite cool at night in the bedrooms. The oven did not work but there was an airfryer, a working stove top, a microwave, and a shared BBQ near-by so it wasn't a problem. The lanai was our favorite place in the early morning for drinking coffee and listening to the roosters and cows start the day. The beds were really comfortable and it was easy to get a great nights sleep.

My family (5 of us including my husband and our teen/adult kids) stayed here for a few days in the middle of our 2 week Hawaiian vacation. Check in was easy. The property is clean and spacious. The pool is clean and wasn’t crowded. The garage is well stocked with beach chairs, sand toys, snorkel sets, flippers and a beach umbrella. The condo was stocked with beach towels and plenty of towels for showering. Also, if you don’t feel like dealing with liquids in TSA, the showers were stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There was laundry detergent, dish soap, a new sponge, plenty of paper towels and toilet paper and hand soap, as well. The kitchen is well appointed. Everything you need! We also enjoyed the gift basket at check in. The outdoor dining area was a nice spot to enjoy coffee in the morning and to be entertained by the local chickens. The beach is about a 5 minute drive or 25 minute walk away - go check out the turtles in the morning! Great snorkeling but be sure to wear flippers or water shoes. There’s also a shopping center at the end of the road with a couple of good dinner options. Take a 10 minute drive to Java Kai in another nice outdoor shopping area. This was a great home base for our Kauai leg of the trip about halfway between the west coast and airport. Thank you for a comfortable stay!

This place was just what our family needed. Space to spread out in a great location near all of the attractions off Poipu. Having enough beds for 6 people was the main clincher for our booking. Management was great and quick to respond to any question. The property was clean and well maintained. The only reason we docked it a star was parking and AC. We were given access to a garage for parking but since we had a full size SUV we couldn’t fit the car into it which left us needing to park in a visitor spot which were often full and left us circling the neighborhood for awhile. The other is was the AC. This is a two story condo that has its bottom floor on the second level of the building. So the upstairs can get warm & the AC wasn’t cooling it the first night. However once we started closing a vent in the downstairs living room everything cooled off much better. Again, this was a great place to stay with the simplest check-out procedures I’ve ever had in a VRBO. (Just take out the trash). Would choose to stay here again.

We loved our stay in the roomy and comfortable condo! The community had many amenities, it was quiet, lots of foliage, sidewalks, parking, and wonderful location close to shopping, food, beaches! The condo was very nice with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths which gave everyone space and privacy! Loved sitting on the lanai enjoying the foliage! Thankful for the cool AC on hot days! Everything we needed was here and greatly enjoyed by all!Beach supplies were nice and washer and dryer a bonus! Loved the area of Poipu and saw Sea turtles sunning, Hawaiian Monk Seal swimming.Great snorkeling on many beaches around the island! Costco was a great bonus! Great for families!

This condo was so centrally located in a very nice community. Sidewalks, amenities were great like pool and hot tub. My grandsons lived the gym. Beautiful vegetation. The actual condo was beyond expectations! Large rooms 3BR and 3 Baths kept everyone comfortable! The kitchen was fully supplied with anything we needed! Loved have coffee on the lanai each morning. Washer/dryer was very nice to have. Chairs and other beach supplies were provided. I will recommend this place e to anyone who goes to Kauai! So very please with proximity to shopping, food, coffee and the beach!

We lived our stay at Pili Mai, we have stayed in this location twice now and love it! It is near restaurants, markets, poipu and shipwreck beaches. The beds are super comfortable, big closets, nice bathrooms, kitchen was very well stocked, we made most of our meals at the condo. Was nice to have a washer and dryer. There were beach chairs, beach towels, boogie board and even some sand toys in the garage for guests.

Our family of four had the most amazing experience in Kauai, and this house was our perfect launching pad. The home is exactly as pictured. It is clean, spacious, and offers beautiful views of the golf course, mountains, and even a peek at the ocean beyond. We spent a ton of time on the large patio enjoying our morning coffee - and also time indoors where we appreciated the air conditioning.The location is excellent as well - a 15-minute walk to Kiahuna Beach or a quick 5-minute drive to lovely Poipu where you can watch sea turtles swim onto shore. There are tons of fabulous dining options nearby (quick bites or sit-down meals), great shopping (the island's only Lululemon!), plus we were close to all of the fun adventures we chose - snorkel tour, zip line, and 4x4 tour were all withing a 30-minute drive.Speaking of adventures, I also appreciated the concierge who reached out on behalf of the vacation rental and helped guide us to a snorkel tour our family absolutely loved. And finally, for me, it's often the little things that matter most, and I appreciated that the house is nicely appointed, with quality beds, linens, soaps, and even tissues. We would have loved some simple condiments or sugar packets, but honestly the kitchen is very well-appointed (blender, knives, plenty of cutting boards, pizza cutter, etc.), so zero complaints.

We vacationed with our Daughter, Son-in-law, and our two Grandchildren in June. The location of this Condo was perfect, close to the pool so the kids could enjoy their swim in a matter of minutes. The Lanai was perfect for enjoying the sunrise every morning. The kitchen was stocked with spices, and all the appliances needed to cook our meals. The beds were comfortable, and the bathroom amenities were much appreciated. Communication with the owners was great, they provided info on attractions and restaurants prior to us going so we could book our tours and reservations ahead. We'll be back!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend this unit. The kitchen was very well equipped. The garage had lots of beach chairs, toys, boogie boards, and a cooler. Past complaints about the temperature being too warm in the living area are somewhat warranted. The thermostat is limited to 73 degrees max cooling to avoid a frosted A/C units. However, we found the temperature to be tolerable with the ceiling fans. They also had portable A/C units in the garage which could be easily used in the living area. The only complaints we had are that the couch is totally worn out and needs to be replaced (it’s not dirty but the cushions are shot). The other issue is minor, the upstairs shower curtain needs to be replaced.

Location was only 3 minutes from Poipu beach and even closer to shops and restaurants. We appreciated the cleanliness and size of the home as well. Lots of room for the family. Being right across from the pool was great as well. The only thing to be improved was communication with the management. While it was easy to text them they didn’t answer all our questions or do things they had said they would. Definitely not a deal breaker and we would for sure stay against. Just something that could be improved.

This is by far the cleanest rental we have stayed at! Well appointed/updated. Had everything we could think of needing. Beds/pillows were comfortable (we didn't use the day bad in the loft area). Our questions were addressed promptly. Location was great! Check out Crumb and Eat It and Paco's Tacos. Starbucks very close for the addicts. Pool on property was good size with plenty of seating and gym was sufficient. Thanks so much!!

Good location. Close to stores, restaurants and beaches. Kitchen lacked utensils, full Tupperware sets and baking sheets. Size of unit was great. The washing machine smelled musty and was filthy. We couldn’t use it until cleaning tablets were provided and cleaned by us. The unit itself could’ve been cleaner and no cleaning supplies are available. This would be helpful for people staying for long periods of time. Beach equipment was adequate but lacked an umbrella which would’ve been nice for elderly guests. Parking space was too small for our vehicle so we were stuck searching for visitor parking which was an issue as one traveler was disabled. The ac was an issue as you cannot turn it below 74! The one bedroom was hot all the time and very uncomfortable. There are fans in each room but they were dirty. Gardening begins at 7 am on some days which is not ideal. The property itself is beautiful. Pool was nice and not crowded. For how much this costs, we were disappointed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 5 enjoyed the condo very much. The condo was so clean and comfortable with all the amenities that you could ask for. It was just a short drive to the beach (less than 5 min), shopping and restaurants. After exploring the island, we loved to hang out by the pool. We also appreciated the beach gear in the garage for our days at the beach.

We loved this location, the space, and the lanai (patio). We had our breakfast and coffee out on the patio each morning! Overall, the space was clean and as described. The location is great. As per other reviews, you can easily hear those staying upstairs, and the floor didn't feel super clean. Outside of this, the space met our needs.

This property has many attributes making it a 5 star vacation rental. The location is great for access to the Poipu area. The condo is clean, spacious, comfortable & the supply of essentials (toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion) is generous. All our favorite amenities were included such as air conditioning, washer/dryer, reliable Wi-Fi, upscale kitchen appliances (including convection oven) & well stocked serve & cook ware. Vacasa is also deserving of a 5 star rating. Booking, check in & check out was quick, easy & highly automated. Their 24x7 customer support gave us peace of mind. Contrary to other comments criticizing the notes & labels throughout the condo were overdone, we found them helpful, making it quick & easy to find what switch controls which light/fan. With no fault to Vacasa or the owner, the property has one drawback that is totally dependent on the occupants of the condo above this unit. We experienced 3 renters during our 2-week stay here & we had the misfortune of experiencing a lot of noise, especially for 7 days when a family with 3 very young children were staying there. We heard them running back & forth seemingly non-stop for hours. We tried to shrug it off, but when it repeatedly occurred past 10pm and then past midnight when they hosted a birthday party, we called Vacasa asking for help in enforcing the “quiet” after 9pm policy. After our call to Vacasa, the children running continued for the remainder of their stay, but did go quiet after 10pm. As a ground floor unit, we were glad we didn’t have to carry our luggage up the stairs to a 2nd floor unit. If the renters of the unit above are respectful and courteous of the “quiet” after 9pm policy (or you are a very sound sleeper), this property can offer you a 5-star experience.

Very nice place. Great views of the golf course and location is close to shops and restaurants. Pool and hot tub amenity are nice. A couple complaints: A/C is limited to 72-76 range, which we found to be too warm especially at night. Host never resolved this for us. Many dishes were dirty and the dishwasher does not work well.

Pili Mai is beautiful! Unit was very close to pool and loved that we had an end unit! Only thing that was a downfall was the AC unit overflowed and wet my items that were in the closet. Had to rewash clothes (thank goodness for washer & dryer in unit) had to toss a bunch of things due to water damage. Couldn’t use the AC until someone came to fix the problem the next day. Called 2 different numbers and made a report but the ones who helped was someone who wasn’t on the list and was a friend of my sister in law.

The condo served us well. The size of the entire unit gave us the room to socialize from cooking to eating & just gathering. We live on the island & I planned my birthday golf weekend. We enjoyed the golf at Kukuiula, Poipu Bay & Kiahuna. The accommodations were perfect for all 6 over the hill gals, thank you

We chose this condo for its location in Koloa. Perfect size, home away from home, kitchen modern and functional, nice bedrooms, beds comfortable, leather sectional couch, washer and dryer. The clubhouse pool/gym was better than resort style. Aside from the beautiful pool, they had inside/outdoor workout areas, pickleball court, tennis, and basketball. As well as nice bar/restaurant with great service. We also worked out at the condo gym which had a modern equipment. I didnt bring my clubs but i wish i did because we were on a golf course! 15 min walk to local shops and another 10 minutes more to poipu beautiful beaches. great memories

Absolutely lovely stay! Nice clean and quiet place with more than enough space for everyone. The pool and grills were located a very short distance away and the grills were very well maintained. We stayed for 12 days and the mid stay cleaning was a very welcome addition. The lanai was a perfect place to have coffee in the morning and a beautiful view for an evening meal. The unit was well provisioned for all your needs from beach gear to cooking needs (there was even little flashlights for walking to the pool after dark). Would 100% stay here again without a doubt.

Booked this property almost a year ago and were counting down the days to our trip. The property was exactly as described and had everything you needed for a long stay. The property was clean and had a great layout. Being so close to the pool was a bonus to utilize the grills for a few home cooked meals. The property management company checked in frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. The beach chairs and boogie boards were a bonus. Great view of the golf course and the ocean behind it. Would definitely rebook.
