This condo is clean and beautifully appointed. The beds were super comfortable. Everything you need is here. While it lacks a view of the ocean, you feel like you are in a tree house. Very quiet and a beautiful clean pool just steps away. The only draw back is, if you are susceptible to heat, it is very hard to cool down the house. There is usually plenty of breeze coming in from the east side of the house but the rest of the house is very hard to get cool. Especially, the master bedroom.There were 5 fans provided and we used all of them to cool down the rooms at night.
Lots of beach equipment, fully appointed kitchen.
Very centrally located to things in this area. It is on the second level so be ready to schlep your luggage up 2 flights of stairs. I would stay here again for sure.

We had such a great time staying at the property. First, Scott was so extremely helpful. I must have emailed him a dozen times asking for suggestions and recommendations for food, dining, best place for fishing, for surf lessons, and everything else. He responded super quickly to each question (less than a day, if not a couple hours).
Second, the condo is spacious and very clean. The kitchen is stocked with spices (salt, pepper), and the condo had a sufficient amount of general purpose household items (toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap) to get us started. Super helpful because we arrived very late the first night. Also had boogie boards, beach chairs, etc. This particular condo is not on the beach (none of them really are for this complex). It was fine for us. 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 second walk to the pool!
Third, the property is in such a convenient location. 5 minute walk to the Grand Hyatt, 5 minute drive to Poipu beach, and there's some type of Hilton (I think) vacation club right in front of the complex which has a pleasant poolside bar. We used the condo complex's quiet pool quite a bit. The kids used the tennis courts as well. There's a really neat little E-bike rental place next to the tennis courts too.
Overall, great host, great condo, great experience.

location is great, with stunning sunrises, and hearing the soothing sound of the waves, especially at night..Also how the friendly birds that come right up to you on the lanai...My favorites were the zebra doves (smallest of doves) and the cardinals..The pool is fantastic and the bbq's grills worked out nice...Saved alot of money cooking our own food..Shipwreck beach is ok, but beware, very strong waves and undertows...Overall, we loved staying here...Thanks

We enjoyed our experience in Kauai. Always beautiful. Brandon, the property manager, was very helpful bringing ice and a cooler when the fridge broke. Nice condo but could use a deep clean. Loved the proximity to the Shipwrecks beach and other Kauai attractions.

Wonderfully equipped kitchen! Made all the difference to be able to cook meals of any sort. Salt,pepper and other spices left from previous guests very helpful. Plenty of beach supplies too(snorkels, coolers, sand toys, etc). Lovely home away from home. Stayed in July 2023. Very hot and humid weather and we made do without air conditioning. Lots of fans and ocean breeze. Great location for wonderful walks. Plenty of sea life to view in the evenings. I look back on this rental with nothing but good feelings. Thanks Connie and John for the memories.

We very much enjoyed our stay at this Poipu Sands condo.
It was July, and although the unit has LG type air conditioners in the bedroom and main living area, they were not required during our stay. Open windows, ceiling fans were sufficient, and the sound of the ocean can be heard at night.

My expectations were exceeded when we arrived at this property. The grounds were well kept, there was plenty of parking, the condo was spacious and the view was pure heaven. My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and we had everything we could have needed to relax and be comfortable. We each had our own large bathroom but we did not utilize the second bedroom while there.
It did seem hot in there but I didn’t look to see if it had a portable ac unit like the master bedroom did. We were comfortable in our master bedroom with the ocean breeze coming through the screen and the ac unit on. We loved sitting out on the patio in the early mornings and evenings and watching the waves crash against the shore. We absolutely would love to bring our kids back to this condo some day to enjoy it with us too.

The condo was perfect for four adults, very comfortable and roomy. Kitchen was perfectly equipped, and the balcony was wonderful to read and visit with the warm tradewinds. Beautifully furnished, close to all the delicious restaurants and shopping centers. The pool was quiet and relaxing. We all had such a good time, no one wanted to leave! Gorgeous location.

This rental was a perfect island vacay condo loaded with all the amenities, kitchen necessities and appliances to make it a home away from home. Very spacious with a private master suite & bathroom upstairs and 2nd bedroom & bathroom along with kitchen, living room and dining area downstairs
Bonus features were a balcony up & downstairs, beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie boards along with included access to Poipu Beach Athletic Club. Saving this rental on our list for sure!

We have stayed in several units; they all have good views but this unit also has a view of the ocean from the front door/living room. We really enjoyed this particular view. Poipu Sands is a fabulous property and anyone who hasn't tried it should definitely do it. Aloha!

An older unit but lovely property, with a great ocean view, and a short walking distance to the beach. New patio furniture (delivered during our stay). Ceiling fans and efficient floor fans for each of the 2 bedrooms. The owner was not in town but responsive.
Stop at Walmart on your way over, the owner "stopped doing(supplying ) the small shampoos and washing soaps about a year ago to eliminate waste. Guests usually bring their own toiletries for their stay." The supply of soaps ln the condo is based on the leftovers and good graces of the previous guest(s). This is a minor issue but an unexpected annoyance and expense.

We loved it here! We are a family of 4 with kids who are 9 and 10 years old. We loved the view of the beach, the size and spaciousness of the rental, the nice pool and numerous grills available, and we had a great time in Poipu and around the area. Communication was quick and smooth, checkout was super easy, and the rental was a good experience. Poipu is close to Lahaina, and we drove to the north of the island easily too. Lost of nearby food options, and a nice beach to chill on in walking distance - Shipwreck's Beach. The rental has all the beach things you need, and it was very clean and breezy. A great time!
Blake D.
July 2023
The property was just as pictured and actually felt larger in person than the photos depicted. The location was perfectly situated with beautiful ocean and beach access. The additional fans that were provided in the unit were helpful to keep the living spaces outside of the bedroom comfortable. The portable air unit did struggle a bit to cool the bedroom but overall was not a problem.
We appreciated the easy check in and check out. It’s certainly nice when property owners respect that a cleaning fee is being charged with the reservation, therefore, not asking the guests to take multiple steps in cleaning the unit before departure is a welcomed gesture.
We would love to return to your property in the future.

The condo in Poipu Sands is the perfect location in Kauai! We were able to walk to the beach, enjoy the ocean view from several rooms and take on the cool breeze. Perfect places for families!

We absolutely loved the location and the fact that it was ground floor. The place seemed clean but our son was crawling around when we first got there and the floors although they looked clean made his hands, tops of feet and legs very dirty in the hour or so of playing. We also had an unwanted pest make a visit on the first morning there. We communicated with the property management and they were great in addressing our concern. Overall I’d recommend renting this unit but know there is no AC so it can get really hot even with the fans.

Our family had a wonderful time in Kauai, and we enjoyed staying in this condo. It is a great location, and the kids especially enjoyed the pool. One suggestion: Some of the other condos had beach items to borrow, such as Tommy Bahama chairs and hard-sided coolers, and having those available would have been nice. No complaints though.

This place was perfect for my wife and I with our two girls. It cooled down nicely at night with the windows open. All appliances were easy to use. Bunch of great pool and beach toys including snorkeling gear and boogie boards.
Check in and check out was very simple and did not require a lot of work on our behalf.
Short 5 minute walk to Shipwreck Beach and about 10-12 minute walk to Brenneckes/Poipu Beach.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Excellent property and a perfect location. This was our fifth stay at a Poipu Sands property. This unit #211 overall was very good. The living room furniture could use updating and new paint in some areas would be a good investment. We thoroughly enjoyed this unit and plan to go back again.

We loved staying here. The location was great as it was easy to get to Waimea Canyon and to the North Shore which were both things we wanted to do while visiting Kauai. The weather is consistently more sunny here which we enjoyed. Nice location to a beach and on past the beach a beautiful coastal hike. The pool is very nice and we loved our time pool side. Comfortable bed and we were glad for the room air conditioner for sleeping. Nice kitchen with all the needed supplies. The beach chairs and umbrella came in handy as did the washer and dryer. I have high expectations with regard to cleanliness and this property met them. Communication was great when we needed it. I would stay here again.

I contacted the owner(s) with minor questions during our stay and the always responded within minutes. Definitely will stay here again.

We had a wonderful time at this very spacious condo. We enjoyed the pool and walking to the beaches Our favorite part was the back lanai. The view of the ocean and the gentle breeze made it a perfect place to eat, read, relax and play games We were able to grill out twice which was nice. We did okay without air conditioning, but our family doesn't get hot easy. The secondary bedroom definitely has a better breeze especially at night. If the master bedroom door is closed, there is no cross breeze... there were some nights that we were a bit warm.

The unit was conveniently located, beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and wonderfully supplied with all items we could need. Spent hours every day on the huge lanai, just looking out at the property and the ocean. Took many hikes up & down the beach. Many good places to eat nearby. Would love to return!

Well equipped, beautifully decorated, Oceanview condo steps away from the ocean! We loved our stay from the moment we walked through the door. The condo was perfect. It is well equipped with beach chairs, beach umbrellas, ice chest, beach towels. Everything you need for a day at the beach. The condo is located less than a 5 minute walk (you walk in front of the ocean) to Shipwreck beach via the Grand Hyatt walkway, which is a beautiful area. Walking the other direction from the condo, the walkway takes you on a beautiful walk in front of the ocean with a cliff below. Gorgeous scenery!
The pool was perfect, heated, but not too warm. Poipu Sands is very well maintained with beautiful flowers and plants everywhere.
The host is great…answered my questions right away. Check in was easy, he gave perfect instructions. We will definitely stay here again!

This condo has everything we asked for and more. It might not have the idealistic views of ocean or the mountains but the area is still beautiful and close to Poipu beach and the surrounding area. Our condo is within walking distance to the beach and the size of the room is big enough for our family of 3 adults and 1 teenager. We had couple of issues and contacted the owners. We got the helpful responses back fairly fast and the issues were solved. Very pleased with the condo and the owners. Would come back and stay here again (if the price hasn’t gone up too drastically) and recommend strongly to anyone considering getting a vrbo condo in the Poipu vicinity.

Of our 12 or so trips to the islands this condo was among the worst. On the plus side, Garden Island was great. the condo was immaculately cleaned and all the major appliances were practically new. That being said, the apartment cries out for a makeover. I won't go in to specifics because I hate to type and the list would be lengthy.
I won't be staying in this particular condo again, but wouldn't hesitate to deal with Garden Island Rentals again.

This unit is lovely. The view and the setup are just as wonderful as they appear in the pictures. Everything is very well maintained. The location is perfect, with great walking trails and routes, and access to the nearby Hyatt restaurants, etc. One caution however, the WiFi is awful. It drops constantly, so if you need to do any work (especially early in the day) or Zoom or Facetime your family, be prepared to be frustrated. We were in contact with the Property Manager about this but they didn't fix it during the 6 days we were there.
June 2023
We had a lovely stay in Kauai for 4 nights in this ground floor apartment. The bed is huge and comfortable . All the furniture has a tropical vibe. The kitchen is well equipped and the coffeemaker with ground coffee provided was a wonderful welcome after a long day. It took us a little while to figure out the best way to cool the apartment , without using the air conditioning but once we discovered the lover windows in both the bedroom and dining area and opened the front door leaving the wire screen locked, this combination gave a wonderful flow through of air. We did not use many of the facilities of the complex as we spent most of our time touring the island. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We stayed for four nights. The condo was beautiful and super well equipped. You can see that the owners use this as a personal destination. Large comfortable bedroom and one and a half large baths. AC in the bedroom was a nice edition but we were comfortable with the island breeze most of the time. First floor unit with a large walk out patio. Huge front lawn with view towards Shipwreck Beach. Very nice pool. Lovely walkway along the beach. Easy drive or about a 15 minute scenic walk over to Poipu Beach. Wished we had planned to stay longer.

This was such a lovely place to stay. We loved that we had all we needed here. Our favorite part was hanging out on the lanai whenever possible. It was quiet on the property which was awesome.

Nicely decorated, spacious 2bed, 2bath condo. Quick walk to the beach, and even quicker walk to the pool. Location is in quiet Poipu, about 15 minute drive to Lihue for supplies and services, but just a few minutes drive to restaurants and a Starbucks. Southside of island so easy drive to Waimea Canyon with excellent hiking. We'd definitely stay here again.

The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Short walk to the beach. We could see part of the beach from the lanai. It is located in an area that makes it easy to get to pretty much anything. We had great food at Da Crack, Puka Dog, Dole Whip, shave ice at Uncles. I recommend doing a sunset cruise on Captain Andy's catamaran. The crew was great, food was outstanding so the price was worth it.
Thanks for a great 10 days.

We had a very nice time here. There was always lots of available parking spots right next to the condo. The entry process with the lock box was very easy to use. We appreciated the early check-in, which we cleared with Scott in advance.
The location of the condo was perfect. And it’s unique in that there are no attached neighbors. Even though there wasn’t a view of the ocean, we had a gorgeous view of the grounds from the lanai, and it was a very short walk to the beautiful pool, which wasn’t crowded. One day our teens enjoyed the hot tub in another complex in the resort. The garbage and recycling was very close and well-kept. It was a short walk to the Grand Hyatt (next door), Shipwreck Beach, and the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. I enjoyed going on 2-mile walks around the Poipu Kai Resort. We did hear roosters in the morning sometimes. One day we received advance notice that the pool would be closed for a few hours for palm tree trimming.
From the condo, it was a quick drive to two shopping malls, which the teens appreciated. It was a 7-min. drive to the local grocery store, and about 20-25 min. to Walmart and Safeway. It was about a 4-7 min. drive to Poipu Beach (nice!), Kiahuna Beach, and Brennecke’s, Puka Dog, and Koloa Pizza Kitchen restaurants, and 11 min. to Spouting Horn. We recommend the calm Lydgate Beach, about a 30 min. drive. Tubing through Kauai Backcountry Adventures, is also about a 30 min. drive.
The generally clean condo was very well-stocked (lots of beach equipment, including chairs, towels, umbrellas, a cooler, insulated bag, mats, water shoes, noodles, and boogie boards). The bathroom had all of the basics, including body wash, shampoo, tp, towels, and Kleenex. The kitchen had everything you might need to cook or bake, and there was tea, coffee, sugar, various spices, and oil. The washer and dryer was convenient, including detergent and a laundry basket. The large desk was useful as well. We enjoyed all of the many tv streaming services.
The beds were very comfy, although the pillows were very soft and flat. Every room had a fan, which helped cool us down, which we appreciated since there’s no AC.
Scott was very responsive when we had a couple issues, which we really appreciated. And our wi-fi issue was quickly resolved when we contacted the IT guy, Keenan.
I recommend this condo if you want a pleasant, convenient, relaxing vacation.

Two couples in their 70s stayed for a week. This condo has incredible views from a huge lanai furnished with both loungers and dining for four. The pool is superb and located very close to the condo. The neighborhood is great for walks! You can walk to Shipwreck Beach in front of the Grand Hyatt Kauai and if you are energetic to both Poipu and Brenneke beaches as well.
The condo is well equipped with kitchen wear and even beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, boogie boards and coolers. We were delighted to find condiments in the fridge!
One must be aware that Kauai is often very humid. If there is a strong breeze, the condo is delightful. However if not and you are an AC person , this might not be the best choice. However condos with AC are scarce on Kauai.
We didn’t eat our a lot but we really enjoyed Koloa town and Friendly Wave who has superb wings in an open are casual setting.
We highly recommend a Na Pali Coast cruise. Capitan Jacks was a wonderful choice for us!

I have traveled the world and don't often post reviews.
This is an outstanding place.
I wish we could have been here our original day (thank you United Airlines).
I strongly recommend it.
Many reasons for this.
Other reviews articulated them.
I often consider not posting a (deserved) exceptional review, because I don't want it to become so popular I can never book it again.
Probably won't be back in Kauai for years, so ... this is exceptional.
We loved our stay.

Little out dated the carpet felt dirty, the kitchen should have been cleaner upon arrival - had to call the PM the utensil tray was dirty and drawer to garbage was dirty - housekeeper came and cleaned and noted this unit should have a deep clean this should have been deep cleaned for our stay. Did have limited towels but housekeeper brought more iron was replaced for us and we are thankful. Each patron should have very clean unit.

Outstanding location and view. We had a wonderful time experiencing the beach, the pool and incredible sunrise each and everyday. The unit is quiet and truly enjoyable. Steps to the beach, golf course and amenities at nearby resorts. The unit is located on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator, so this can present a challenge to visitors. The 2 bedrooms are generous in size and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. We would definitely return however there were several things we noted that we’d recommend be attended to for the enjoyment of all: the unit main bedroom needs a new high quality mattresses asap, the seat pads on the dining room chairs are worn out as are those on the two recliners in the living room. Cleaning supplies were missing. We were also told there was a fitness center nearby but we couldn’t find it.
Outside there were spiders and spiderwebs all over the staircase. We called and someone came but they really didn’t do much. This should be addressed promptly and permanently.
This is such a lovely place. We hope to enjoy it again in the not so distant future. We very much appreciated the opportunity to stay there. Mahalo!

This review is long overdue. My family and I returned to this property in Dec 2022. We loved the space and decided to bring along my in-laws to experience Kauai again as well as enjoy the space with them. There was a total of 6 of us and the space was just fine with accommodating all of us. The in-laws took the master suite, the kids took the second bedroom, and my better half and I took the fold-out couch in the living room. As before we enjoyed everything that the space offered (see our review in 2021) including seeing breaching whales from the patio area. This space will always be in our hearts and when we return to Kauai, we'll be looking here first! Thank you!

We felt like we were right at home at this property. It was comfortable, centrally located and beautifully decorated. The view was absolutely gorgeous. We had Kauaii coffee on the patio every morning.

Everything was great. The place is in a quiet area, but close to resorts, restaurants and beaches. Large enough for 6 people comfortably.

This condo is top notch! The location can’t be beat , so close to the beach and walking trails and the pool is wonderful. Our host is an excellent communicator, all our questions were answered and Bruce is very accommodating to any request you might have. The condo was very clean and the bed super comfy. We enjoyed a kitchen that had all the dishes and utensils we required and loved the bbq that was close by. We loved this area of Poipu and will not hesitate to book with Bruce again next year!

The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, and we found it spotless. It’s just next door (by seaside pathway) to the Grand Hyatt, where you can enjoy tasty (and pricey) meals. The ocean that the property overlooks is beautiful but, when we were there, was red-flagged as too dangerous for swimming. Safer beaches are nearby. We would stay here again.

Kauai is one of my husband and my favorite islands in Hawaii to visit, and Poipu Sands is our "go-to" place to stay. This was the first time staying at this condo and I must say it was truly a delight. The location of this unit at Poipu Sands offers one of the best views of beautiful Shipwreck Beach from your lanai, in a well-manicured garden setting. The condo is very clean and well maintained throughout. Though we enjoy dining out at the many wonderful restaurants in the area, you will find an updated and well-equipped kitchen to create your own in-house meals. Jim is a super guy to deal with and is quick to respond to any questions or needs you may have. We look forward to a return visit!

Wonderful stay! Everything provided for a great day at the beach(cooler, snorkel, umbrella, beach towels & chairs) & prepare a home cooked meal. Steps away from gorgeous grounds of Grand Hyatt, shipwreck beach & heritage trail. Comfortable beds! —want to come back!

Well appointed, lovely condo was exactly as description and pictures showed. Quiet even in a 1st floor unit. Although it doesn’t have a full view of the ocean, you can see it just a few steps from the lanai and walk a very short distance to Shipwreck Beach. Good location for other beaches and access to the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail.

Wonderful views of ocean & shipwreck beach! Comfortable updated condo for 4 adults. Very spacious with beach/pool towels, beach stuff (chairs, umbrella, boogie board, cooler), keurig (bring pods), & full size W/D. Condo is on 2nd floor so you'll need to lug your suitcase up a flight of stairs but the views on the patio are amazing. Owner provided kitchen detergents, trash bags,paper products, laundry detergent, bathroom shampoo, conditioner & body wash. No A/C which was difficult for 1 night of our 4 night March stay. It cooled off so the breezes and the portable fans kept us cool for the other 3 nights as long as the bedroom doors were left open. Only con was that we only had 1 pillow (which wasn't very comortable) and the pillow case was stained. Tried to fix with property manager but there was no response. Would definitely stay here again. The ocean breeze and sounds were property's best feature!!

Scott and Kelli offer a beautiful family condo, and were the nicest hosts imaginable! Well equipped, super clean (I am a clean freak), with a great location! We will be back!

Had to contact the owner when the door lock failed. They were very responsive and the issue was quickly resolved. Could not have asked for more.

Great location to watch both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. The facility is perfect for two people and is convenient and close to lots of amenities.
