Property had a great view and a Nice view from the lanai. There’s no AC, which we were aware of, but the windows in main bedroom were unusable and we had no glass sliding door, which was a security/safety issue. It only had the Screen door. The hostess unacceptable. Looked like the glass door had been missing for awhile. Vacasa was fabulous about moving us. Their team gets the five stars. But the unit itself needs updating and had a bug issue, maybe due to no door. It was unfortunate.

Would return in a heartbeat! We could hear the waves in both bedrooms. Showers were great. Pool was refreshing. Poipu beach is amazing. Stayed in 201 15 years ago! Didn’t realize until we got here. Location is quiet and beautiful

Hearing the waves from almost every room and watching the palms sway in the breeze was everything I had hoped for and almost made up for the various mechanical items that were in need of repair. The secondary bathroom toilet ran intermittently, the windows in the main bedroom had a sign saying they were out of order, one of the screens on another window was falling off, and a shower valve was loose. The property management company was responsive and offered to fix all the issues immediately. While we appreciated their willingness to come right over, we didn’t want to interrupt our vacation time to deal with homeowner repairs and because there were only two of us, we were able to work around the issues. I hope the homeowners do the repairs soon so that the next group of vacationers will be able to fully enjoy this spectacular spot.

Great location on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Close to shopping and hiking. 2 disappointing issues regarding this property: an annoying downstairs neighbor and a mildew problem in the washing machine. However, I would stay there again.

Had a great stay. Best part was the view and how close we were to the ocean. Loved hearing the waves all day and night. Only part that was hard to get use to was no air conditioning. Most places on the island don't have air conditioning, but it was tough for us at night. We had plenty of fans, but we were just use to A/C. Outside of that, it was wonderful. Would definitely stay their again!

We had a really good time in our rental (Poipu Palms 204). The experience overall was great. The view right off the ocean was a million dollar view. The rental was small, but neat and not cluttered. We knew going in there would be no AC, but the fans and crosswinds made it work. The rooms are very small. Much smaller than we had planned for. We were 3 adults and 1 toddler. The master was not big enough for us to have the toddler bed in, so we had to use the living room. It's not a knock on the space. More something to be aware of if you are in a similar situation to ours. The one annoying thing was that the bathroom fans were not connected due to noise. It made for a bit of a humid environment after showers. But, for a place to chill and soak in the sun and relax, this was perfect. Staff was friendly and easy to work with. Communicated and checked in more than once during our 6 day stay. Would definitely recommend!

The best view from the balcony overlooking the ocean, listen to the breaking waves on the rocks literally feet below you. A gorgeous deck and pool right off the room that has a panoramic view of the coast and incredible sunsets!!

Spent the week here with my elderly parents while I attended a conference at the Grand Hyatt(walking distance). Hosts were friendly and communicative. This is a beautiful apartment with breathtaking views of ocean! You can watch both the sunrise and set from the deck. Pool overlooks the ocean and is well maintained. The apartment itself is also clean and well maintained. Very modern appliances and everything you need to spend the week, cooking, laundry, dining, watching movies, etc. Located in the heart of Poipu with access to a coastal running/hiking trail and short walk to Poipu beach which has nightly sea turtles and sometimes monk seals I couldn’t recommend this place more. It will be difficult to find any place that compares this in the future.

We loved staying at Poipu Palms. The location and views were incredible, and we utilized the deck with ocean views and the gorgeous pool every day! It was great having a washer/dryer as well. Perfect sized place for our family.

October 2023

We had a great stay! Location was perfect for us. The pool is small, more for a quick dip than doing any swimming. It has nice lounger chairs around it to hang out in. Great views of the ocean! Sea turtles were out swimming in front of the pool deck almost every day we were there. The house is stocked with everything you need for cooking, sleeping, and going to the beach! No air conditioning- lots of fans and sea breeze, so we were pretty comfortable during our stay. 2 flights of stairs up/down to the property- no issue for us, only hard to bring our luggage up! Otherwise so nice to just have a code to open and close the door! We enjoyed our stay very much!

The highlight of this property was the huge lanai patio with four comfy chairs and ottomans overlooking the ocean. Gorgeous view and friendly little birds chirping every morning.

Had three excellent nights at this unit. We generally don't spend much time at the rental while on vacation, but we loved the lanai and the pool deck to the point it made it hard to leave everyday. The interior was cozy and felt like home immediately. Great sunset views a short walk down the hill, generally stayed cool when the ceiling fans were on, lots of nearby shopping and eating. The sound of the ocean crashing into the rocks below every night might be the thing I miss most. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!!!

This property is very accurately described and photographed. This was a very comfortable and nicely designed home with a wonderful ocean breeze. Clean, with fresh towels, washer/ dryer and all the amenities described. It has a spacious patio that we used every morning and every evening drinking our Kauai coffee. You can walk through the beautiful garden a few feet to the BBQ, the deck over looking the ocean (lots of turtles & stingray) and the pool area. The property is located on the south end of the island close to: Po’ipu Beach, Shipwreck Beach (3-5 minutes), and a few miles from National Botanical Gardens (10 minutes), Kauai Coffee Co(25 minutes), Kauai Plantation and Railrod & Luau (20 minutes). I’d like to acknowledge the Parrish Management Company, managing the property for the owner. A few units had a plumbing issue on our last day. I called the emergency line, two very nice Parrish maintenance men came out after hours. The company came through for us, because the issue was a little bigger than anticipated. There will always be issues, but how a company comes through for the client is a true testament to taking care of “us the tourist.” Our neighbors had a “different” company and ended very differently (badly) for them. Thank you MJ and The Parrish for really taking care of us.

When you're out and about in beautiful Poipu, it was always wonderful coming "home" to the beautiful ocean view to chill before your next activity. To just be able to see the beautiful ocean all day and hear it all night - will soothe every bit of stress out of your life. Highly recommend. Management extremely responsive - one fan was broken and Jeremy (name & number easily found in welcome binder) came shortly thereafter with a new one. Mahalo!

August 2023

Poipu Palms 202 was a beautiful place to stay. Our family enjoyed the amazing view from the lanai every morning and evening. We were able to catch a glimpse of a pod of dolphins some days and everyday watched the enormous sea turtles swim near the rocks. The complex was located within walking distance to a couple of beaches and we also enjoyed dining at a few local eateries. Our drive to adventure out on the island was minimal and Kauai has now become our favorite island. Kristen kept us well informed about the facility during our stay. Thank you for having such a wonderful place for our family to stay! We will definitely be back.

We spent most of our time outside admiring the gorgeous view either on the patio or on the community lanai. The first day we arrived the weather was hot and humid, we worried about the lack of air conditioning. It was quite warm inside the unit even with all of the doors and windows open. The kids jumped in the pool to cool off. Once the sun set it was fine. The remainder of our stay was not as warm. The management was responsive to our needs. We were even out of dishwashing pods and they brought some for us to use. Having a laundry inside the unit was very convenient for bathing suits and towels. Overall, we would come back to stay at this beautiful property.

Only comment on cleaning is that the floor felt sticky, maybe needed an extra effort due to the proximity to ocean salty wind.Highly recommend.

Enjoyed our stay, especially enjoyed sitting on the deck. Great location! Perfect for our family!

August 2023

The location was incredible and the views spectacular. The condo had everything we needed for our stay which we greatly appreciate. We didn’t have to buy anything but food. The Parrish Company that runs this unit has amazing customer service as well so we will rent from them again; just not this condo. Upon entry we removed our shoes as the sign requested. In 20 minutes the floor turned my new white socks dark brown. I used the swifter wet they provided and two of those came up black just from the master bathroom floor. Had to buy bleach and mop the floors three times and they still weren’t clean. The showers had black and pink slime mold growing on the bottom, around the doors, and on every ledge and corner. Corners and the side of the fridge floor was disgusting too. This unit doesn’t have air conditioning which most nights wasn’t a problem because there are trade winds but it got hot in the afternoon and was uncomfortable to sleep some nights even with the fans on. This still didn’t ruin our trip because of the location but this condo is too expensive for what it is and how filthy it was. After speaking to the company, I hope it will be cleaner moving forward.

This is such a beautiful condo in every way! The view is amazing! The owners and property managers are so easy to work with and quick to address questions and concerns. We have stayed here twice and look forward to our next stay.

August 2023

This was the perfect location for 4 adults. Beautifully decorated with a clear view of paradise. From the birds visiting us on the lanai to watching sea turtles swim in the waves to the relaxation in the seaside pool, this was a tremendous retreat in a great location. Communication with Doug & Candy was clear and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

This property was stunning. Views from the porch were gorgeous and we saw turtles every day playing in the surf. Location was ideal for the island and we could get to everything very easily. Condo itself was super clean and very well stocked. Bedrooms were comfortable and couch turned into a makeshift bed easily for our youngest. Kitchen was excellent and they had beach toys, boogie boards, reef shoes etc for our use. Would definitely recommend.

July 2023

The unit was very clean and had the view that was expected, which made the difference. What was not expected was that the master bedroom was only separated from the living room by 3 sliding "closet" doors. There was no privacy from the kids. If you have no kids or have no plans for sharing the unit then its no problem, but then the unit becomes very pricey. The second issue was the lack of AC. The listing clearly shows there is no AC but the expected breeze never really materialized and the bedroom windows would not stay up without bracing them with random things from the unit. The week was not very hot thankfully because it would have been unbearable.

We really enjoyed our stay at Poipu palms - the unit was comfortable and had everything we needed. The best part was the location - water views right from the unit, and the sounds of waves crashing throughout the day. Poipu beach was walking distance, and other restaurants/stores were a short drive away. We would definitely considering staying here again!

There was plenty of room for all and the kitchen was well equipped with everything to create various meals. There were boogie boards for the kids and beach chairs for the adults, and even though the walk to the beach was about 10 min., it was enjoyable. There were several areas to explore within a 10 minute walk along the coast each morning. This was our 3 time at this complex and we would stay again.

This top floor condo, mid-way between Poipu and Shipwreck beaches, met or exceeded all of our expectations. First of all, the view from the lanai and the living room is totally amazing. The property overlooks a rocky point where the surf is continually rolling in and crashing against the rocks. We saw sea turtles bobbing around in the surf every morning. There are sliding doors that separate the main bedroom from the living room, and if you leave them open, you can listen to the sea all night. The place itself isn't super fancy, but very nice and very clean. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. Full sized fridge, dishwasher and oven. Washer and dryer worked great. No A/C, but with plenty of ceiling fans (and sea breezes) we had no complaints at all. There were beach chairs, boogie boards and a beach umbrella out on the lanai, as well. There's also a pool right down by the sea cliff with an incredible, up-close view of the wave action. Had a great stay. This place is really special.

This was our second time staying in your beautiful condo. Everything we needed was there! Nice quiet property with a sensational view. The lanai is always shaded and the trade winds keep this condo cool. I loved sleeping with the ocean waves pounding and the breeze coming through!! Mahalo and Aloha!

June 2023

Everything we hoped for! Worked great as a home base for our family of 4. Enjoyed morning coffee and breakfast on the lanai, and dips in the pool and stargazing from the shared deck space at the end of the day. Had all the typical sounds of condo life - a little construction work going on, some footsteps overhead, families on vacation - but also the constant sound of waves crashing below. Not a bad deal. The condo had everything we needed and was conveniently located. I’d stay here again if we come back to Poipu but we might try up north next time. Enjoy!
James K.
June 2023

Lovely condo in really the perfect location! Gorgeous view and very well appointed - worked quite well for our family of four. Quick walk or drive to Brennecke’s- our kids enjoyed using the provided body boards and sand toys. The pool was great and we enjoyed many meals and cocktails on the lanai watching sea turtles and dolphins. There is no A/C, and while there are fans and a great cross breeze, leaving windows open means you can hear street noise which was slightly disruptive to sleep. That said, we would still stay here again in a heartbeat!

The ocean views are fabulous. It is sunny and drier in Poipu compared to the northern part of the island. We were close to activities like the luau at the Sheraton. Great home base! We loved mountain tubing and Waimea Canyon. We could walk to Shipwreck beach going east; it is quite a scenic walk! We had to lug our suitcases up the stairs but we were rewarded with turquoise blue waters and a fabulous breeze. No AC in this condo, but open up the windows and the breeze kept us quite cool. The kids were thrilled to have their own bedroom and bath; great space for our family of four. The pool wasn’t ever crowded; we enjoyed it! There is an awesome Costco just 20 min away. Don’t forget to get yourself a delicious mango smoothie or mocha freeze, fresh flower leis and Hawaiian gifts/snacks to take home, even big trays of sushi rolls too! Cafe Anuenue is less than 5 min away and has delicious Hawaiian bread French toast. The beds were comfy and water pressure is good. The unit has its own washer and dryer which is essential in Kauai. The condo has an open floor plan with lots of sunlight which we loved! We even saw multiple sea turtles from the lanai! We loved listening to the ocean waves at night and drinking coffee on the lanai in the morning.

This unit overlooks the water in an area with a strong surf, so lots of turtles visible from the lanai. There are many thoughtful touches inside, including comfortable beds, plenty of linens, nice artwork and decorations. The location is wonderful--close to the hiking trail along the coast, and withing walking distance to Poipu Beach. A good find!

We loved this condo for its great location and awesome ocean view. However, it could use a few cheap upgrades. The coffee maker was only a 4 cup, the bedroom window would not stay open and the closet has a rod that was not installed properly, just to name a few things. It felt like a little bit of money could really make this place a lot more comfortable. Nice to have the washer/dryer in the unit and we appreciated the snacks and goodies provided.

2 x couples stayed at the apartment as part of a 3 location break: Las Vegas, Hawaii then San Francisco. Absolutely fantastic location for whale/turtle spotting of which there were plenty (mainly first thing on a morning) during our stay. The only inconvenience was that the owners had locked the wardrobes in the second room (with twin beds) which was a pain and resulted in having to hang our clothes in the double bedroom wardrobe. Given the high price paid, we would have expected to be able to hang our clothes.

Exceptionally clean with comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, all essential kitchen cookware, dishes, beach gear, and plenty of space for a family. We ate meals out on the deck overlooking the ocean, and on the lanai. Saw turtles, humpback whales and beautiful sunsets all from the deck! Kids enjoyed the pool. Other guests we talked with were friendly and shared their travel experiences on Kauai. All appliances worked well and we were grateful to have a washer/ dryer. Ceiling fans worked well, and no need for AC.Communication from property managers and on island host was informative and clear.Would recommend to friends and relatives.This area is mostly larger Condo complexes, and we really liked that this one was only 12 units.We enjoyed Poipu beach for snorkeling,and swimming. Nearby hike to Makauwahi cave and adjacent beach was cool too! Seeing Waimea Canyon, Spouting horn, swinging bridge and small town stores in Hanapepe, and Salt Pond Beach were all highlights of our time on the Southside of Kauai. Enjoyed the stores in Old Koloa town too. Minor improvement- screen door needs maintenance or replacement.

Very easy check in and check out, as well as managers texting and emailing to make sure we didn’t need anything while we were here. Location was perfect, just a short walk from the conference I was attending at the Grand Hyatt, and above the rocky shore where we could see Honu and whales swimming in the waves below. A big plus to have a functional Kitchen with everything we need to cook up a fresh fish lunch !! Thank you so much for having us!!

Lovely location. We appreciated finding some cooking staples in the cupboard, and a great selection of pots, pans and utensils. The large deck and comfortable seating made whale and turtle watching very enjoyable.

I had high expectations for this home before arriving and it was better than I could have imagined. I can't say enough about the views from the private patio! This home is truly indoor/outdoor living at it's finest. The home was fully stocked with everything we needed plus some, was modern and beautifully decorated, and in a nice location to explore many sides of the island.

We came to this condo after 3 nights in a poorly-kept camping cabin in Koke'e State Park. Poipu Palms was immaculate and comfortable, and we saw whales and turtles and storms passing while we sat on the lanai. We did have to deal with one enormous flying roach and some ants, but the company responded to my texts really quickly and sent over some roach spray and ant baits. Considering the climate and the proximity to other people/homes, I figure it's pretty hard to get rid of all the roaches. It was very gross for a very short period of time. But the place was gorgeous, bedding was comfortable, furniture was well made/sturdy. And the location makes it worth one or two small issues.

Unit was quite outdated, especially the bathrooms. Patio screen door didn’t work at all and was quite annoying. Floors were dirty and there was only a broom to sweep and no other cleaning supplies. View of the ocean was awesome, which we were aware of because we stayed at a different unit last year. That unit was in much better condition, but unfortunately it wasn’t available this year.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Easy access through the "Lock Box" system. The property grounds are well-groomed. Would not stay in a first-floor unit again, heard a lot of walking above us. Had a view of the Ocean but would have to move to the pool area for sunsets, no biggie really. We were fortunate enough to see a humpback whale jump one morning from our Lanai.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon the beginning of November. I had been to Kauai prior to this, and had stayed on the north shore. I definitely prefer this location however, at least this time of year! It was so easy to get everywhere on the island, I thought it was a great “home base”. The condo is so clean and well kept. There is a closet on the porch that has beach umbrellas, boogie boards, etc. Even though there is no air conditioning, there was plenty of air flow between the open windows and fans! The complex itself was so quiet. The pool is incredible, and we used it many times! I will say, this condo is on the ground floor, so we did hear people walking above us at times, but it was never an issue. Overall a wonderful experience!

We had a fantastic stay at Poipu Palms over Thanksgiving. The view is stunning and the sounds of the ocean can be heard from all areas of the condo. We slept with all the windows open so we could hear the ocean at night. the positioning of the condo on the second floor and how it is staggered from the neighbors made it feel completely private. The bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen was the most the most stocked of any rental we have stayed at and it was a great location in proximity to Poipu beach. The small complex was quiet and private. We loved the deck overlooking the ocean and the kids loved the pool. The owners and management company are extremely accommodating and responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
