What a great condo. The location was perfect, short walking distance to several, highly coveted beaches in Poipu. The town of Koloa was a 5-minute drive with lots of shops and restaurants to check out. The condo itself was the perfect size for our family of three. A lot of home amenities. Well-stocked kitchen with utensils, washer and dryer, comfortable beds, lanai with a sitting area, pools, and tennis court. The condo was kind enough to provide us with beach toys, chairs, and an umbrella to use. The fact that our condo is a semi-private was a plus. There was no one above us and it was very quiet. We can't wait to come back.

The condo was excellent. It was exactly what the pictures showed but with the updated kitchen and bathrooms was even better. The property was right beside the Grand Hyatt (amazing property) and easily walk able to brenneke beach (one of our favorite). As the condo is located in the Poipu Kai resort complex area you can also use the community pool and hot tub with the key fob as Poipu sands does not have a hot tub. I would definitely recommend this condo.

This was a perfect trip. The size, condition, and view from the property were undersold. The place was incredibly well stocked and comfortable. We never missed the air conditioning with great breezes and powerful fans. 10/10

Our extended family had a handful of condos in different communities within Poipu and we had the nicest unit. Other options in the area have larger pools or more grills but this unit has everything we needed. Beach chairs, a cooler and an umbrella were included. The kitchen was well appointed and the grills were very nice. Our kids did mention that th pull out couch was less comfortable than others we have used.

Condo is a great location on the South Coast with nice kitchen, large living room & balcony. No AC, but with the ceiling fans, we really did not need AC. Was easy to check in & easy to check out. Condo had all the beach gear we needed.

The property was just as pictured and described. The view of the ocean and mountains in the distance was beautiful and we enjoyed walking down to Shipwreck Beach and seeing the monk seals and walking along the cliffs there. The property itself was very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed (kitchen was well equipped, having a washer and dryer was amazing, and the lanai was a great place to relax and read).My only note is that I thought it was a 10-minute walk to Poipu beach...it was a 10-minute walk to Shipwreck Beach, and we chose the very pleasant 5-minute drive to Poipu Beach. Also worth noting, if you're a light sleeper, that the bedroom is next to the main road and there was noise from cars, though the street was mostly busy in the mornings and late afternoons.Truly it was an enjoyable stay - thank you!!

Family of 5 adults had a great time. Great location to multiple beaches and attractions. Views of sunrise from the lanai were amazing! Only inconvenience was it is a 3rd floor unit with no elevator, but the view was worth it.

Wow, I miss my morning wake ups and watching the surf from the large balcony. We had other family members staying at the Grand Hyatt which is right next door and a short walk down a beach side path. It's shorter to walk that than drive. Scott, the property manager was very communicative and gave us all the info we needed. The unit itself was clean, well stocked and very comfortable. Beds and furniture we all in great shape. The photos are accurate. Note, there is no AC, but there are plenty of ceiling fans so it's fine. Our stay was December 16th to the 20th. Used community BBQ's every night, the property maintenance team comes through and gives it a thorough cleaning every night. Overall great place, I would highly recommend the unit to family and friends and would absolutely stay here again.

This place has everything you want in a Kauai condo especially the oceanfront view with a huge lanai. Everything you need from the kitchen utensils to beach chairs and towels. If you are considering any other place and this is available you are missing out.

Everything was easily taken care of and as advertised. there was construction going on in the complex and it was noisy, but that also got me a discounted rate so no complaints. Now the roosters on the other hand….but that is everywhere on the island!

We just finished two weeks here, and while the location was a highlight, the unit fell short of our expectations. The condo is much older than it appeared in the photos, with single-pane windows showing corrosion, outdated appliances, and multiple cabinet doors with broken hinges hanging off. We had requested that the two twin beds be made into a king, which was forgotten upon our arrival and only half of the toaster worked. The bathroom fixtures are outdated, the water pressure was very low, and the entire unit had a strong sewage smell throughout our two-week stay! This was a significant drawback, it seemed like there was an issue with the complex's septic system. The view from the balcony was also somewhat misleading; while there is a beautiful partial ocean view to the left, the majority of the view overlooks the parking lot and hotel in front. That said, the condo is in a fantastic location, just a 5-minute walk to the beach in front of the Grand Hyatt and a great central spot for exploring the island. The owners were incredibly attentive and responsive, which greatly impacted our experience. They not only promptly replaced the toaster but also sent us a gift card to a local restaurant to apologize for the inconvenience. We also appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas provided. All major grocery stores were a quick 20-minute drive away. Unfortunately, we didn't get to use the pool area at all, as they were redoing the roof of building #1 during our trip.

Wonderful stay. Decor and some hardware are getting a little tired (salt air) but that’s not why you are there. Ocean sounds and views are very special. Be warned three flights of stairs (no elevator) if you have any movement impediments. Highly recommend!

The Unit is dark and dated with very old carpeting and terrible lighting and plumbing fixtures. I'm not sure how the photos looked so good. It just felt dark and depressing with the walls covered with family photos. Black brown window coverings, dim lighting, etc.
It was seemingly built as an afterthought and sits atop the mail boxes and washrooms provided for the swimming pool and is positioned a bit awkwardly such that you look at a lot of neighbour balconies. Garbage and recycling are right behind so you are woken every morning at 7 with bashing and clanging.
Outdoor furniture was old and hard and covered with dust. Beds were comfortable. Pool was great.
The host was responsive to our issues with the ongoing construction but in the first place, it was unconscionable and disgraceful to rent a unit that is ground zero for heavy equipment spewing dust and diesel and loud beeping even after dark. We did not even have proper access to the unit as it was taped off. This was a very expensive vacation and it was completely ruined with the fumes and noise. I intend to seek full compensation with VRBO. Finding similar alternative lodging was not possible on short notice.

We really enjoy Poipu and this condo. It is our 4th time renting. The view is great and the breeze is steady. It is always tidy, though we’ve noticed over time it starting to get a bit tired. The condo really needs a deep clean (carpets, walls, cupboards, furniture). The management company is responsive and professional. Hopefully the owner can spring for a deep clean - it needs it.

This condo was perfect for our family! Had everything we needed and even more! My daughter is a goalkeeper for soccer and she found a soccer ball, she was sold. Condo was clean, location was phenomenal and check in was a breeze. Thank you for a memorable vacation. We will be staying here on our next Kauai adventure.

A bump in the road for the owner Jim as his unit needed work due to sudden water damage. He was wonderful communicator. He kept us update and found us another unit to rent. Poipu Sands is a great location. The pool was fabulous. Even with all the construction around us our stay very nice. We would rent this unit again in the future. What a beautiful view!

We absolutely loved this rental. It was so clean and beautiful with wonderful decor. The view was amazing and the location ideal. There was construction happening during our stay, which we were made aware of beforehand. It wasn't terribly obtrusive but it did get pretty loud. But we still had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again.

The place does not have central air, and is uncomfortably hot unless you leave the slider and main entry door open for ventilation. There is an older portable ac unit in the bedroom- which struggles.to.keep that space.cool.

Kathy & Bob,
This accommodation was perfect in so many ways. The unit was well stocked with initial kitchen supplies, beach equipment and information of local dining options. We enjoyed our hiking in Kokee State Park as well as walks from the unit. Our morning sunrise walks were a great way to start the day.
It was a great four days of relaxation and maybe we’ll get back there again. Many thanks, Don & Charlene P.

Beautiful house, good location, good view.
Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of construction going on. Redoing the roof and gutters on the building that was right next to us. The construction work with very loud and right out our window was the dumpster. What a bummer Challenged to get to the pool at this time because of all the equipment.
I’d go back there and stay again when there wasn’t construction. I just wish that we were informed about the construction going on. We would’ve picked a different location. I feel that we were ripped off.

This property is central to many popular experiences on the South Shore of Kauai. Check in was easy, communication was wonderful, and the unit itself was immaculate. The air conditioning in the master suite was a wonderful treat. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us. We truly enjoyed our stay.

We definitely had a five star experience! The condo was as advertised – everything about our stay was perfection! The hosts were responsive and kind. The condo was so comfortable and clean. We loved having the washer and dryer available as well as the fans in the rooms. We loved the second floor balcony for hanging out and the proximity to the beach and pool was unparalleled. We can’t say enough good things about this condo and we plan on returning!

We selected this home due to proximity to the Hyatt and the very favorable and accurate reviews. It was a pleasant 5 minute walk to my daily CME meetings at the Poipu Grand Hyatt. Every convenience was available and enjoyed. The lack of air conditioning might not suit those with poor tolerance for warm climates, but we felt fine.

This would have been a great stay but for the construction noise. Although we had been informed there would be construction, we were led to believe this would have little effect on our stay at the property we were moved to. That was untrue as there was large machinery that was very large. the noise and shrill beeping would begin at around 7:30 AM and go until around 5:00 PM. It did not make you want to stay at the property during those times. Sleeping in was an impossibility.

The unit was in a great location on the island. 5 minute walk to the beach, supplied beach chairs came in handy. The unit itself is very nice. Note that there is no air conditioning which did make for some hot days but there are lots of fans available.

They were re-roofing the building. Over the weekend it was fine. There was a lot of equipment around, but that was ok. Then on Monday there was construction all day! There was loud banging, equipment beeping and debris all over the ground. Also the smell of the port-a-potty was a little overwhelming! I felt while they were doing that building they should not have it rented.
It also was disappointing that the whole unit was not air conditioned, only portable a/c units in the bedrooms.

We booked this for our anniversary and the host had a note and little gift greeting us to the place. The room where was outstanding – from the minute we walked in until we left. The lanai overlooks Shipwreck beach, and it was delightful to watch the sun rise every morning. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - very comfortable bed and we loved having the AC for our bedroom at night. We would come back to this unit on future trips.
