All I can say is when we come back next year I hope they let us stay here.

The pictures were 100% representative of the condo and it was a wonderful place to stay. Great location with easy walks to different beaches and restaurants. Gloria in the office was lovely to work with and went out of her way to make our stay easier and more enjoyable, much appreciated!

This property is literally on the cliffs overlooking spots where the sea turtles play. It was so fun to spend the mornings watching them in the surf. Our visit was short so I don't feel that we were able to fully embrace all that the location had to offer, but we appreciated being close to many of the shops and restaurants in the Poipu area. The VRBO itself is well appointed and lovely, quiet and yet convenient. Communication with the property group was easy and they left lots of helpful information about the area. I would definitely stay here again and again!

The view is incredible. You can just see turtles all the time in the water below, we also managed to see dolphins and whales.Otherwise the apartment is really dated. Bathrooms lack ventilation and bathroom located inside one of the bedrooms didn't have functioning door. It does have curtain. So yes, location and especially the view are incredible. Otherwise ok.

What a beautiful condo! Everything was so pretty and nicely organized. Our family had the best time here! Couldn’t have asked for a better condo to spend New Year’s in:-)
We appreciated at all the beautiful details in the decorations and the provided towels and beach equipment.
Thank you so much for providing a perfect “home” for us to live in for a week.
We hope to come back again sometime soon.

We just returned home after staying here to celebrate our 55th anniversary with family! The property was perfect! We all loved the fabulous view and watching the turtles splashing around right in front of us!
The condo was very well equipped - we especially liked having all the beach items there to use!
And the Starbucks coffee pods were such a nice touch
Would highly recommend this unit !!

My family rented for 4 nights and we were very happy with our stay. The property management were super communicative leading up to check-in, responded to our questions while on site, and made check-out easy. Loved the duplex layout! The entrance to the apartment is on the third floor of a low rise building so you do need to climb a flight of stairs to get to the unit. Everything was clean and there was all the amenities you would expect in the kitchen and bathrooms and laundry room. Pool/hot tub area is small but gets the job done. We saw sunrise from the terrace and just had to go downstairs to the walking path to watch sunset. Very comfortable and spacious!

We were able to check in early (11am) because the property was cleaned the previous day. The view from the lanai was fantastic! Didn't see any whales but saw dolphins. The property is a little older and the pool was just sad, but they include access to the Athletic club which has a resort-caliber pool and amenities. The living room sofa and chair were also a bit past their prime. There is access to a lava rock shore that is quite impressive. Had to be careful about food on the counters because there were tiny ants that would gather if anything was left out - to be expected in Hawaii - especially an older ground-floor condo. Would definitely consider staying here again!

This home was a wonderful location, with a 3rd floor balcony overlooking a rocky bay where we daily saw sea turtles in the waves and could watch both the sunset and the sunrise given our location on the south of the island. The place was clean and had plenty of room for the 7 of us. A bit of a splurge, but just eating out on the lanai/balcony every meal over the waves was wonderful!

This was our first trip to Kauai. Location of condo was nice and in a safe area. It is located right on a walking path that takes you to Shipwreck Beach. The path is an easy walk with amazing views. There is some construction going on that you see/hear from the lanai. We were not there during the day much so it didn’t bother us. We had an issue with the TV and the manager responded quickly and even offered to come by several times. Check in check out was easy and had no issues. The beach chairs and umbrellas were great. We didn’t use the snorkel gear or boards but would be great if you were there with kids. There are A/C units in the bedrooms upstairs but not downstairs. The wind blowing through keeps it comfortable but if the doors/windows are closed it can get stuffy. This was a great place and great location.

The 2 bedroom unit was nicely appointed, well equipped and came with a lovely club membership that included swim, pickleball, tennis, fitness and a nice casual restaurant.
We loved the sound of the ocean waves crashing on the lava rocks beyond our unit. Sitting on the terrace or the rocks below and watching the sunset was such a treat!
The unit was well located for most of our activities (hiking, dining, snorkeling, spelunking, golf, sea turtle watching and more). Each evening we had a rousing game before falling asleep to amazing stars!
We could have used another week!

I recommend this condo for up to eight folks. Third floor loft requires use of main floor restroom, and shower in one of second floor bathrooms (entry in bedroom.) Community near condo has all you need close by. Snorkeling, beach 20 minutes walk. incredible views of ocean, good food, grocery store near by, pool on property, good restaurants close by. We would visit in the future.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Kauai. The condo was very well appointed and had the most gorgeous views of the ocean. We saw turtles and dolphins everyday. You can walk over to the resort for cocktails and food. Poipu beach was a very easy walk and the beach was incredible. We had famous Puka Dogs, Hawaiian style hotdogs, you HAVE to try one! If you like to cook you will want for nothing in the kitchen.We had our morning coffee and evening champagne on the patio, overlooking the ocean. The hosts are very kind and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything you would have in your kitchen at home. Master bedroom was cozy with a comfortable mattress. Extra pillows in the closet. Very nice patio with comfortable furniture. Watched every sunset from the lounge chairs. Loved listening to the waves crashing on the rocks below as we went to sleep and waking up to such a beautiful view. We will definitely try to stay here again.

The building is super easy to get to plus it’s close to everything.If you need a big car or struggle with backing in this is not the place for you. It’s tight especially on the lower level.
The unit is nice and the air conditioning worked well. The second bedroom smelled like a cat lived in it so did the second bathroom. We didn’t use them but beware.The primary bathroom is nice and the bed was super comfortable. There were plenty of pillows and blankets throughout. I only wish the linens were a little nicer.
The sunset views are spectacular! We had dinner on the patio a few nights. This unit is not an easy walk to a sandy beach. You will need to drive there. There are ants everywhere, kitchen, bathroom, living room. They are small but you can’t leave anything on the counter.
The unit doesn’t feel private. An hour after checkin, my wife just got out of the shower and a maintenance man let himself in to install a blind. We had no warning.
There is no blinds on the kitchen window and people walking through the unit can see in.
Second day we were leaving for dinner and there was a blender on the doorstep. Again no warning.
Later in the week we received a notice they needed us out of the unit to spray for bugs. Great but that day we had plans and needed the unit to get ready. Thirty minutes before they were scheduled to start, my wife gets walked in on by the exterminator. She was dressed but 2nd instance.
Even with all the issues we still had a great time.

A very nice place to stay, this unit had an outstanding view of (as in >30ft from) the ocean. It is older, so it could use some TLC (e.g. bring your own Roku), but all-in-all it was a pleasant place for a Kauai trip.It is well located for any activities you'll want to undertake!

The Host (Doug & Candy) was unbelievably fast to respond from the first inquiry about the condo all the way through our stay. The first condo we had in mind didn't work out, so they worked to get us into another one with ocean front view and air conditioning. During our stay, we got up early and sat on the lanai to watch the sun come up. At night, we were back there again watching the moon on the ocean and listening to the waves hit the rocks below. We also were able to see a lot of turtles as well during the day. We explored all four sides of the island during our visit. It was very much appreciated that Doug & Candy provided coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, etc. to make our trip even easier. Knowing there was a washer/dryer in the condo caused us to pack about 50% lighter than we normally would making the traveling so much easier. We were also pleasantly surprised how well the condo was stocked with supplies such as body wash, shampoo, soap, dishwashing detergent, paper towels, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc. We loved our stay.

Very clean condo with good sized bedrooms. Perfect size for our group of 7.
Great location close to several beaches, restaurants and shopping.
Property manager was helpful and quick to respond to questions while we were onsite.
The front door does take some finessing to unlock/open and the AC unit makes a regular buzzing sound that is noticeable when trying to sleep, but otherwise it was perfect.
We would definitely stay here again.

With just a short walk down the beach path, we also had a great sunrise view. Having the beach equipment - umbrella, chairs, beach towels was really helpful. The air conditioning worked well and kept us comfortable. The owner was very responsive and corrected one issue. We appreciated the available parking, but be aware that there are steps from the parking to the unit when you have luggage to manage.

Previous 2 stays were at the condo just down the road from where we stay this was a 2 story condo and at our age requested a single story condo because my wife has a hard time with stairs. The E-1 was a very nice unit with no stair in the unit, BuTTT it was necessary to navigate 27 stairs to just get to the entrance door. Everytime we had to leave for somethig it meant navigating the 27 stairs, so the rep must not have been familiar with the property.Only thing about the condo was the eletric stove top. all burner knobs were worn and mis labels as far as the power controls. Burned many a dinner before we just stopped using stove top. Nice property except for that,

Great location, well equipped kitchen, comfortable and clean condo. Excellent communication about check-in procedures. My only complaint was that the tennis courts were closed for lanai furniture storage (not sure why furniture was being stored here or why this was the location chosen). When I reached out to the property manager about this and a suggestion for an alternate place to play, I did not receive any response. A disappointment as my family was looking forward to playing some tennis. Also note there is now construction taking place in the adjacent lot, making it a bit noisy during the day which was not an issue for us as we were out and about each day.
