We had so much- thank you so much! Just wanted to let you know the soap dispenser in large bathroom didn’t really work. Also the screen and slider to patio was stuck a lot. But didn’t make a difference, just wanted you to be made aware. Thanks!

This spacious condo is perfect for a relaxing Kauai vacation. It has a great location with a beautiful view of the ocean from the living room and patio. We also appreciated the 2 bathrooms and well-appointed kitchen. Hosts were available and communicative every step of the way. You can easily walk to the Sheraton Hotel beach or Poipu beach.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying here in Kauai. The property was very nice and came with many amenities. We enjoyed the pool and tennis courts. The location was great as well. It was very close to the beach. The property manage and the owner were very nice and answered all our questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely rent this property again on our next return.

This condo is in the perfect location for visiting Kauai. Easy access to all sides of the island. The condo itself was fully stocked with all the items you need for a short or long stay. We stayed 5 nights and cooked breakfast every morning and sat on the patio and ate and gazed at the ocean. It was the best! Bed slept very well and having 2 bathrooms make things very convenient. No fighting for getting ready space! AC worked very well too, very important for travelers from a hot summer climate. Also beach chairs, umbrella and other beach items are included! Thank you Cynthia for a great time!! We will be back!!

The property was perfect, within walking distance of Kiahuna Beach and Poipu Beach, but tucked away in a quiet location with incredible ocean views. Communication with the owners and the check in process was easy. Will definitely look forward to staying here again next time we're in Kaua'i!

Poipu Kapili was a beautiful and wonderful place to stay. It was exceptionally clean, had everything we could possibly need as far as cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes and silverware, linens, bathroom products, beach towels, and etc. The balcony gave us a wonderful view of the swimming pool and ocean. The beds were so comfortable. We hope to return.

Jerry and Amy were amazing hosts. First of all the condo and property are immaculate! We walked into a luxury home away from home. Our flights were canceled due to the Microsoft outage and they were so gracious and accommodating. They are great people with a prime spot in Poipu! Thanks to them for a great stay! Will be booking year after year with these guys!

This was our second visit to The Garden Isle introducing it's incredible beauty to our 12-year old son. We selected the property based on it's location and reviews. Pluses ... Oceanfront patio with views to die for, very spacious property with good amenities exactly as described in the listing, convenient location in Poipu/Koloa with easy access to fabulous beaches, incredible walking trails and everything else, pool and grills, excellent communication with Corey (property manager), super easy check-in. Minuses ... None. We will return.

This was our 31st year of vacationing at the Kapili, it is our home away from home. We had a great time using the pool, bbq, and lovely grounds. It is close to shopping, beaches, restaurants, and many other island activities. We will definitely be back soon. Mahalo, The Schaefer's

We stayed in Michael's condo for our honeymoon trip. Every little detail is considered in this condo. Light switches are labeled and the guest book is full of excellent detail as well. Location could not be better. We were within 3 minutes of anything we needed. We sat on the wall across from the condo every morning and watched the sea turtles play in the surf, layed around by the salt water pool in the shade (which was plentiful), walked to the Luau at the Sheraton resort and just had the most wonderful time. Michael was fast to respond, friendly to talk to and gave us late check out on short notice for a very reasonable rate since our flight wasn't until 9:00pm and our day plans got cancelled. 10/10 experience and we will likely be back!

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we were extremely satisfied with our stay. The place was spacious, clean and very well air conditioned. The pool was great too, just in the backyard. The ocean is a 5 minute walk from the condo and it’s in a great central location with a lot of restaurants and shopping in walking distance. We walked to dinner every night during our stay. The bed was also very comfortable. I’d stay here again!

Great first floor condo with view of the ocean and next to pool! Owner's meticulous descriptions of how to use all the appliances from the dryer to AC were much appreciated. We communicated that we observed a small water leak in the kitchen to the owner shortly after arrival. He offered to have a vendor address during our stay if we preferred, but we agreed it was not necessary and we continued to monitor during the remainder of the stay. Being the gracious host, Michael offered a late check out without any additional charge. Much appreciated since we had a late flight out that evening. We have stayed in the Poipu area several times and would rate this experience as one of our best. The location is within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shopping, and even a golf course. The relatively small number of condos on the property as advertised made for a very quiet and relaxing trip. And no roosters at dawn! The condo was very comfortable with premium interior. We would certainly recommend this property to others and strongly consider booking Michael's property again on a return trip to Kauai.

This was our first time to Kauai and we could not have chosen a better condo to stay for our 25th Anniversary! Everything was excellent and the location perfect for all that we planned! The host was gracious in giving suggestions for things to do during our 10 days being on the island. So many great sites, restaurants and things to do as well as walks on the beach and lounging by the sparkling pool! Thank you so much and we already want to come back for even longer!

My wife and I spent 3 nights at this property in April 2024 and had a great time. The condo itself is immaculate-clean, comfortable, and well appointed. It’s location is close to the action but just far enough away that it’s easily accessible and quiet. The grounds are beautiful and a very short walk to the beach. We had a red eye flight leaving at 10PM and decided it would be more comfortable to book an additional day vs. driving around with all our luggage for 9+ hrs. The hosts graciously refunded us $100 for the dilemma and even allowed us to check in early the first day as rain ruined our prior plans! Incredible place to stay and thank you to the hosts for all the above.

Enjoy your coffee overlooking the ocean and pool from the 2nd floor deck each morning, then walk across the street to the beach. Vacation does not get much more relaxing than this - near boat tours originating in Port Allen, oceanfront hiking, Waimea Canyon and wonderful dining experiences.

We had a great week at this exceptionally immaculate and well stocked condo. There were 4 adults and one 21 month old toddler. Plenty of room for all of us. We enjoyed the pool and grounds, but Poipu Beach was especially fun for a toddler, and it was just minutes away. The patio outside our condo was a great place to watch the ocean waves......view was fantastic.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and we could not have asked for a more perfect VRBO unit! The ocean view was INCREDIBLE, the hosts were always very quick to respond, and the check in/out process was a breeze. We cannot wait to return to Kauai and stay here again! Thank you so much!

We are all ages 65+, and found the condo to have everything we needed. We did a lot of our own cooking and the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked. The location was great, the unit was clean, and beds very comfortable. There was a nice selection of eclectic reading material including travel related books with maps and info about the island (which we used). There was even some fishing equipment though one pole was not functional. We had one light go out in the secondary bathroom toilet area during our 2nd night, which needed a light bulb type that was not in the collection of extra lightbulbs in the unit, which we reported, and management had the bulb replaced right away. They were very responsive. The view of the ocean was lovely, we saw whales from the patio, and the sound of the ocean waves was lovely. A nice breeze flows through the unit. The only recommendation would be to make your parking spaces just a little bit wider! We only had a mid-size rental vehicle, but spaces are a little tight when opening the car door. But overall I give this property and location very high marks. We really enjoyed our stay! Mahalo! Aloha!

Spent a fabulous nine days in Kauai and loved staying at this condo. Perfect location. The ocean is so much closer than it looks in the pictures! So many great places to walk to, including beaches, restaurants, etc. Owners are very responsive.

The property was as good as advertised with the view of the ocean being the most spectacular feature. There were three items that detracted from our stay. The AC needs updating. The bedrooms upstairs were too warm during the day and the first half of the night. The TV in the primary bedroom is very frustrating to use. The channel guide doesn't work correctly, so we had to go channel by channel to find something. It takes about 5 seconds to move from one channel to the next. The downstairs bathroom doesn't have a door to separate it from the laundry, and the door to the laundry doesn't lock. Other than these three things, the property was great. The view is worth the price alone and made dealing with the other issues worthwhile.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously The accommodations were spacious and comfy. The place was clean and well cared for. We appreciated the beach chairs and towels. Our favorite part was watching the sunset with a glass of wine. It was a lovely way to end the day after exploring the beautiful island.
