Close to Popui shopping village with nice restaurants and souvenirs. The property host was very responsive to our needs. So fun. We hope to come again.

We really like the place. It was clean, beds were really nice, bathrooms were clean. Decor and carpet is a bit dated. Kitchen had what we needed to cook meals. Air conditioner worked perfectly. The view was amazing. Patio screen door was difficult to open and close. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

This condo was absolutely perfect in every way! The location makes for easy access to a beautiful walkway through manicured gardens, a beautiful pool, BBQ areas, a tennis court, you name it!Everything was thought of, with an exceptionally well equipped kitchen. Beach towels, beach chairs, tennis rackets, etc. are all made available too! The property was clean and is well kept.We especially enjoyed the outside area, with table, chairs and loungers.Scott's communication was excellent with clear instructions, and his attention to detail was clear; checking ahead of time on whether we wanted the second room made up as a king or two single beds. We appreciated that attention to detail.We will definitely book this unit again if we have the opportunity to visit the beautiful island of Kauai again!Mahalo Scott!

This property was as advertised. Communication before our stay was excellent. Everything was clean when we arrived. The unit was well stocked with everything that we needed for the week. The location was great. The only downside was that with the windows open for ventilation, we could hear people in the parking lot late at night.

Being able to have an ocean view and watch the sunrise every morning from the lanai - magestic. Lovely facilities, and wonderful location for watching turtles, whales breeching, walking the many trails and spending time on the beaches. Ready to go back.

We had a great time staying on Kauai this year. The condo was clean and well appointed. To address some other reviews - there was no construction noise and there were plenty of bath and kitchen towels (though just 4 beach towels). The kitchen also had a some spices and condiments (I assume left by other people, but it was nice to see they didn’t just dump them in the trash). The beds were comfortable. The pool was great. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. We went to a conference at the Hyatt next door, and it was pleasant and easy to walk each morning.

This property was wonderful. The staff at check in and check out were so nice and friendly. We definitely felt the Aloha. The view was wonderful and the unit was very nice and up to date. The pool was delightful. We enjoyed sitting outside on the lanai for coffee, drinks, and just relaxing and enjoying the view. With binoculars we even saw some whales in the distance spouting. A nice surprise.

We had a wonderful stay in the condo thanks to Jim the owner and thanks to prior visitors, who I think left some of the supplies. We added to them. 12-15 min walk to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach on oceanside path, depending on how far you want to go. Amazing sunrises seen from the path and beach around 7:15AM. Short drive to local eateries, shopping and Poipu beach, where there is family friendly snorkeling.

If you are looking for a place in Poipu this is it. Everything was as described and more. We enjoyed our time on the island and this couldn’t have been a better location. Can walk to both Shipwreck and Poipu Beaches from here which we did but found it easier if taking beach chairs, cooler, etc to drive never had a problem finding parking at beaches. Spent lots of time out on the lanai watching and listening to the waves, did see whales in the distance most mornings. Condo was clean and comfortable loved the beds. Excellent communication with the owner, checked in with us via text every few days just to make sure everything was going fine. Would stay here again
January 2025
Wow, fantastic location! Unbelievable sunrise views right from your lanai. Loved running and walking on all the pathways in the neighborhood. Very short walk to the beach. The condo itself was well appointed. No central air but had a unit for the bedroom, so comfortable sleeping.

This unit has an incredible view. It's extremely well outfitted with everything to make your stay comfortable. It's a very short walk to the beach as well as the large pool. The staff was immediately responsive to a minor issue with the internet on checkin. I would choose this again the next time I am in Kauai.

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

The condo kitchen was great, we cooked all of our meals there, a cooler, umbrella and beach chairs were provided, which made it easy to take lunch to the beach. The beds were comfy, the living room, dining room and kitchen were connected and made for nice gathering. There is a view of the ocean from the lanai and each morning we walked down to the beach to watch the sun rise. The one negative was the outdated lockbox key set up with a door handle that doesn't automatically unlock and has to be manually unlocked, which creates a dangerously easy situation for accidentally getting locked out within the first minutes of arrival. Highly suggest a keypad entry for the door or a secondary lockbox.

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!!

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.

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.

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.
