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!

My husband and I loved this place. It was very clean, large, well-decorated, and comfortable. The view of the ocean was amazing! We walked across the street every night to view the sunset. Great location! We’ll rent it again.

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.

Everything about this condo is wonderful---great location, nice furnishings, comfy bedrooms, great soaking tub, well stocked kitchen. The pool area is nice with plenty of umbrellas and chaise lounges. Best of all is the convenient location to the beach wall and fabulous sunsets and star gazing.

We’ve discovered our dream retreat in Kauai within the embrace of this VRBO condo. Both the owner and the property management team were not only responsive but an absolute joy to interact with. Nestled in the perfect spot in Poipu, this condo gifted us with breathtaking sunset views, enchanting whale sightings, and proximity to our beloved beaches and scenic walks. Whether it’s strolling to shops and restaurants or indulging in a round of golf, everything is conveniently within reach. The unit itself is a haven of comfort, thoughtfully appointed with renovated bathrooms that exude loveliness. The bed is a cocoon of relaxation, and the kitchen, equipped with everything one could possibly desire in terms of kitchenware, truly enhances the overall experience. We’re already looking forward to the next chapter of our Kauai adventures, with hopes of securing this haven once again. A heartfelt Mahalo for crafting a truly delightful experience during our time in Kauai.

This is one of the nicest properties I have rented. Given location, hosts, etc likely the best rental we have had on vrbo in 15 years. Location is great. If you snorkel, the reef on the West side of Kiahuna Beach is great, you can walk to Poipu, Lawai or Koloa Landing and jump in there and be inside an aquarium. Kiahuna also has fun surf (shore-pound) for body boarding and swimming. You can rent day beads at the Sheraton. At low tide you can walk across the street and check out incredible tidepools (bring your reef shoes). Townhouse itself is in a great little community with a pool, BBQs greenbelts, etc. Rental is stuffed with useful stuff (Beach Towels, Body Wash, Paper products) and we really didnt need much of anything. I bought some Charmin Ultra soft, but i am a TP diva. The views here are perhaps better than the photos. The AC works well. Be sure you follow the directions for the climate control system. They werent set correctly when we arrived and the first few days the temps were wildly inconsistent and likely used more energy than was necessary. Hosts were friendly and helpful at every level. The only small negatives were community related. We had to move our car due to sealing the parking lot, our next door neighbors had a flood of some kind and they had to check our our place and the hoa had to gain access to spray for bugs (in hawaii this is a good thing trust me). I would feel really lucky to be able to rent this place in the future. Thanks!

The condo was very clean with an extremely well equiped kitchen. The grounds and pool area were lovely. The only issue we had ( which really was not a problem for us ) was, being Australians we could not access any of the steaming services so could not watch any movies in the evenings. Having said that, it really was relaxing to sit and read in the comfortable living area, so did not miss the TV.

Absolutely loved this condo! Comfy bed, super clean, everything was provided, and check-in was easy. The VRBO is very quiet, no street noise. We opted for a helicopter tour, atv, mountain tubing, and biked/hiked Waimea Canyon. This location was perfect. Plenty of restaurants nearby to walk to. Would definitely recommend!!

We absolutely loved staying here for our 15th anniversary! The kitchen is very well stocked, the bedroom a/c kept us comfortable at night, and the lanai was our favorite place to sit and watch the ocean in the morning and evening. We loved the easy access to pickleball courts (2 paddles and balls are available), and the beach equipment/coolers were greatly appreciated. Jerry always responded very quickly when I reached out. We were very impressed with how organized and we’ll thought out everything was, and the location was perfect for being able to explore both to the north and to the west.

This charming get-away is spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. A short walk away are green sea turtles sleeping on the beach. The bed was comfortable with a bright yellowed colored pineapples. It was also VERY well stocked. Will look for this place again on our next visit to Kauai.

November 2023

My wife and I truly enjoyed staying here. This was our first time in Kauai and could not have chosen a better place to stay. Being right next to the ocean was wonderful and having such a short access to beaches around the area was a blessing. This unit was very lovely and provided all the amenities we needed including a nice kitchen for the times we decided to not eat out. Belle was a great host and provided all the pre arrival information we needed to “move right in” when we arrived. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Kauai again I hope we can rent this place again!!

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo! Everything was clean and in working order. When we arrived there were cookies and ground coffee waiting for us. Both bedrooms were large and comfortable and the living area spacious! The pool was wonderful and perfect temperature! The location couldn’t be better - lots of places to walk and lots of great restaurants nearby! Our favorite activity was feeding Tommy every morning - just love him!! Highly recommend this property and would love the opportunity to return!

We were thrilled when we arrived to find the view even more amazing than the photos had depicted. Having breakfast on the lanai every morning was a beautiful experience. We could watch and listen to the waves.Sunsets from there were also wonderful.The walk to Kiahuna Beach was a short 7 minutes. It's a lovely non busy beach. The condo was clean and comfortable with new furnishings. The AC in the bedroom was helpful.

My husband & I were blown away by this condo! The owners have thought of absolutely everything, were amazing to communicate with, and the unit/grounds were immaculate. We loved being so close to the beach & restaurants, but away from the more crowded/noisy resorts. Sitting on the patio at sunset/in the morning was awesome, and being able to cool off in the pool at the end of the day was such a treat! It was also fun to read their guest book & see what others loved about their stay. We were NOT ready to leave! Thank you Mike & Gina!

We travel to Hawaii often, sometimes twice a year. Maui has always been our island of choice but we decided to make the trip to Kauai this time to explore another island that we have been told we must visit. We absolutely loved our stay and our condo was exceptional. We wanted for nothing and Michael’s communication was excellent. We loved the assigned parking spot, the AC was a bonus and 2 bathrooms made getting ready for the day twice as fast. There were several days we were the only ones in the pool for hours at a time. We loved all the local restaurants and small coffee spots. The turtles at sunset at Poipu Beach were amazing! I’m not sure our trip and travels around the island could have been better. Only we thing dint make happen was the helicopter tour, but there always next time, right? Thank you so much Michael and Gina for sharing your home with us.
