We had a great stay on Poipu shores! There was plenty of room for our family of 5, the views were incredible & the property was clean! The location was safe & secure as well as exclusive to guests only on the property. We were also provided with host ‘extras’ including local tour, hiking & dining recommendations!

The location was amazing. It was wonderful to fall asleep listening to the ocean waves every night. We saw sea turtles swimming daily. The beach was a short and pleasant walk. We loved the south shore area, in general and it was easy to get to other areas of the island.

Just book it! The location and view from this condo are just incredible. Walking distance to the beach and a few casual restaurants. The view is full on ocean with waves crashing and turtles swimming. The pool is lovely. The whole complex is lovely and while it appeared to be full, it never felt crowded and was very quiet. Condo was very clean and well equipped with beach gear, coolers and well stocked kitchen. The only negative is the decor and furnishings are dated but you’ll look past all that once you see the view!

We all saw three eagle rays from the balcony.

We loved the condo! It was perfect for our family of 4. The view was spectacular and we enjoyed watching the turtles from the deck. We would 100% re book as everything was easy and well stocked for our stay. It’s clear that the owners are always improving and updating the unit which is always nice as a guest to see. Thank you for the beautiful space to explore the island.

If you enjoy getting sprayed by the ocean breeze and looking straight down at the shore with lots of feeding turtles - then this is your place. Short walk down to the best beach on the island - Poipu Beach - or, in the other direction a nice walk to the Hyatt. The condo was a great fit for us - no need for the air conditioners just fans and open windows. Best to have a small rental vehicle for the small parking spaces. The pool area is also great although we spent very little time in it. Overall a great condo with great location. At dusk the turtles will come up on shore to rest on Poipu Beach and then return at dawn. Look but don't get too close - volunteers will make sure - and don't use flashes at night. Aloha

Great oceanfront location in a nice condo complex! The oceanfront sounds and views were priceless. Beach chairs and boogie boards were a great addition and one less thing we had to worry about while we were there! We had a few questions for the property manager, one (where to find linens for the one pull out) answered and addressed very quickly but I’m still awaiting a response to both text and email regarding a bug infested coffee maker that we ended up replacing because we need our coffee when our feet hit the ground in the morning. All in all this is an absolutely beautiful location close to amazing beaches. Closer attention spent on cleanliness (brown stain on shower curtain right next to toilet, hand soap containers filled with water, 2 mini trash bags for an entire week) and the property managers responsiveness would definitely earn this a 5+ star review. It really is little stuff but again would make this place absolutely stellar!

We loved our stay here. The location is amazing, right on the ocean. We loved sitting on the lanai watching the waves crash on the rocks. The accommodations were great too. We had four adults and two kids and everyone was comfortable. The beds were very comfortable too, better than any other vacation rental we’ve stayed at. Love the huge window in the master bedroom. It was wonderful listening to the ocean at night. The condo was very clean and only a short walk to the beach. Only thing we’d request is salt and pepper. Overall would definitely stay here again!

We stayed here in June and absolutely loved it! The condo was clean and in great shape. The bed in the master was super comfy and the views were astounding.

I'm almost reluctant to say how great this property and Sampada, its owner, are from fear that it won't be available when I went to stay again. The only thing some folks might want to consider is that you can really hear the crash of waves even at night with windows closed. I loved this but understand that others might not.
Sampada is really lovely to work with - very responsive and keeps the property in great shape and well stocked. Thank you!

A small group of 4 of us opted to arrive a couple days early before our week at Marriott Waiohai Poipu with 4 others joining. The Poipu Shores location was ideal and the unit spectacular. A corner end unit facing west with great views and the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs/rocks below. Unit was well appointed and clean. Noted in description no AC, but fans in all rooms helped. Front desk communication was excellent. Highly recommend for your next Poipu Beach stay.

The views from the back of the condo are nothing short of spectacular! Being LITERALLY right on the ocean is incredible. And sitting by the pool watching the turtles and waves was great!
This was a great location for a short drive to restaurants, beaches and anything you wanted to do on the East, South and West sides of the island.
We were a family of 4 with 2 teenagers. Parking was a bit of challenge, as there are only 12 spots in the lower lot close to the condo. But we managed to park in that lot every night. This condo is in the larger building, not the one shown in the listing. The condo is right across from the elevator and the second bedroom is right there as well, so you do have some foot traffic and noise walking past.
This was great for us! We were active and did not spend much relaxing time actually inside the condo, but at the beach and the pool. Overall great stay!

Very nice kitchen that was stocked better than mine at home. The bed was very comfortable. I loved being able to hear the ocean while in bed or in the living room. Enjoyed breakfast and evenings on the patio. There was also books and maps on Kauai. Additionally the rest of the property was beautiful and smelled amazing due to the flowers. We can’t wait to return.

We had a great stay. The property was beautiful. The staff was pleasant and informative. The views were amazing. The condo gets a little warm as no AC but cools down enough at night. Enjoyed falling asleep to crashing waves. Tons of green sea turtles right at the shore that can be seen from the room and the pool area. Some electrical issues with refrigerator-freezer but they are being work on. Parking is tight but there was always a space available. We will definitely rebook in the future. Mahalo for an amazing vacation.

Amazing week in Kauai with our home base in Poipu. Favorite aspect of rental is view and sound of waves just below our balcony. Sea turtles everywhere in view, both from pool (which we loved) and condo. Place was spacious enough for my husband, two teenage children and myself. Everything needed for beach (towels/chairs/cooler) provided. We will be back!

If you want the most beautiful view on Kauai….this is the place. Saw sea turtles snacking, and other aquatic creatures all from the balcony.
The description of the unit is very accurate. Read carefully.
This unit is small, as stated in the listing…700 sq ft. I would not recommend for 4 adults. This unit is much better for a couple or a family with small children.

Ok, hear me out. Don't get me wrong, the location and the view are amazing. We walked in and went to the lanai and were absolutely amazed by the ocean crashing against the rocks below. After looking and watching for several minutes we went back inside and noticed how hot it was inside, so I turned on the air conditioner in the living room area, but it did not blow any air. I tried the a/c's in both bedrooms with the same results. I studied the remote for the a/c's and tried to figure it out, but nothing worked. When I messaged Parker, he was very slow to respond and ultimately told me he couldn't do anything because he was away on the mainland for the weekend and his On Island Broker was having sinus surgery. So according to Parker, it was a "Perfect Storm". He obviously knew the a/c's didn't work because there were two portable a/c's in the living room and master bedroom, but they don't work well. Eventually a family member of mine who lives 2 minutes from this condo was able to get hold of the broker (who did not have sinus surgery) and he was able to get an a/c repairman out two days later. Parker's response to the situation was horrible. I asked him for a partial refund for the two days we went without a/c since the vrbo description say a/c in every room. I didn't hear back from him. Take this into consideration if you're looking at this condo! Also, the floors were dirty. We walked around the condo barefoot and the bottoms of our feet were black!

The property is just as described. It was clean, had good beds and well-functioning air conditioners. Kitchen was well out-fitted.
The unit is beautifully set right on the water, and the property itself has a very nice pool. (You need a key — which is in the room — to get both in AND out of the pool!). A very nice beach is a 10 minute walk (or 1 minute drive) down the hill. Unit provided beach towels and some chairs. Good selection of restaurants nearby. We would go again.
If we had any (very) minor suggestions it would be (I) to upgrade the regular bath towels, and (ii) for the property to provide umbrellas for the lounge chairs — and not just the tables — at the pool.

We loved this rental - the views were amazing and the constant sound of the ocean and sightings of turtles off shore were aspects that we loved. The condo was great for 4 of us, the kitchen had great amenities, and the balcony was perfect for relaxing. Being able to easily walk to Brenneke and Poipu beaches, as well as the nearby surf shop and shave ice/lunch spot was fun. We'd stay here again and highly recommend it.

Our stay was a mixed experience. Poipu is absolutely wonderful. The condo is has a great view, the front office staff is lovely, and there is most everything you would need. Though it lacked some basics like bath mats and extra towels/blankets.
They accommodated an early check in request, though I don't think they communicated it to the property manager. After we checked in we were very surprised when an employee let herself into the condo. She was apologetic and it wasn't a big issue, but it was awkward.
Additionally, I think housekeeping may have rushed through cleaning. The floors had not been cleaned at all and since they have a no shoes rule, our feet and socks were constantly dirty. We also found that many dishes in the cabinets had caked on food and hadn't been washed.
Additionally, during our first evening, around 11pm an alarm went off and continually went off overnight. We called the emergency line provided and left a message, but nobody returned our call. When we called the front office in the morning, they advised us it's not their responsibility, but the condo owner. We hadn't heard back from VRBO and after hearing we had a night of no sleep with a loud alarm and no call back, the front office was nice enough to send their maintenance guy over who was able to turn the alarm off.
We also had the hot water go out, which required maintenance in and out of the unit one day.
The location and staff is great and the condo is okay, but I wouldn't stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Spectacular view of the ocean with waves hitting the rock cliffs. Lots of sea turtles in the water. Loved having 2 lanais--downstairs and upstairs. Enjoyed seeing sunrises and sunsets. Pool was warm and wonderful to swim in. Athletic Club Membership was included; had fun at an aquatics fitness class there. Condo was very clean! Highly recommend other visitors indulge in a Puka Dog (Hawaiian Hotdog) down by Poipu Beach Park. Go to the town of Hanapepe and stop at the Midnight Bear Bakery. Take a day tour and let someone else drive you around on the Secret Kauai Canyons and Coastlines Tour through . WE CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK!!!

Our stay at this condo was spectacular! Furnishings were updated, comfortable and well stocked. Like others have said - NO condiments/spices left so make sure you bring/buy. My suggestions would be to get the cleaning staff to at least leave out one "cleaning" product. We bought a cheap bottle of glass cleaner as the dining table was glass and sponge wasn't working. And the sun umbrella was broken (but prob left by another family & we didn't try to use until end of 2 weeks) BUT everything else was superb. Chairs, snorkel gear, and beach towels there for the using. Nice lanai table for 4 to use for outside dinner/happy hour. These condos have easy access to Poipu Beach/Brenneke's. We have always stayed on the North side. This renewed our love for the South side. Will def visit again!

I thought the location was amazing. I could literally take a 10 min walk to the beach. The pool there was a hit with the kids and the adults. The best thing about this location is the view. The first thing I did once I opened the door was walked right to the balcony. My daughter did the same thing and immediately saw turtles she squealed with absolute excitement. I made sure that everyday I was on that balcony just taking in the view. Watching the sunrise watching the waves the turtles watching the sunset. Every single day we saw turtles we even saw a small pod of dolphins. I give this location 10 stars
The only downfall is no ac but we knew that when we chose this location. We opened windows to let breeze in. Fans were on to keep air circulating. I saw 1 cockroach near the sink obviously I killed it but that was the only one I saw the entire time I was there. I am aware that roaches are common on these islands. The parking was a little snug sometimes but we also had an suv there are 3 lots to park. These things will NOT deter me from leaving a good review. I absolutely loved this location.

Could not have asked for a better place in Kauai. The view was gorgeous, we saw sea life from the balcony, the pool was perfect, it was cozy, great shower, all of it. We asked for a fan because I’m a weirdo that needs a fan blowing in my face to sleep. They told me they didn’t have any and I was prepared to purchase one. But either by chance or amazing customer service, there were two in the room. The staff were so chill and kind too. What an unforgettable experience.

This was a perfect home base for us! The pool is literally right out the back door, there was plenty of space for 4 people, and it had all basic necessities for a beach vacation. Location to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu was great (about a 5 or 10 minute walk), and everything else was close by. The condo was clean and worked well for our family. We would recommend this to friends based on the cleanliness and location alone.
The only weird parts of our stay: the tiny, thin bath towels provided (and you get literally 4 - one for each person). I reached out to the management co who said we should just wash them if we need more, but after some convincing brought us two extra; I guess better than no extra. Also to note, there were no other extras of anything except a pillow with no case - 0 additional blankets, exactly 4 washcloths, 4 beach towels, 2 hand towels, no bath mats, etc. This is fine, but on vacation mom having to do multiple loads of laundry a day just to have dry towels is kind of annoying. Finally, the ‘master’ bath situation was a little funky (the doors are 2 slatted pocket doors and close over the sink area but there is no other door inside for the toilet/shower area). Needless to say, there’s not a ton of privacy going to the bathroom/showering even with the doors closed. Not a game changer for our family, but I would have appreciated knowing if it was a different companion situation!
Overall this is an amazing place and we would definitely stay again!

We stayed at Poipu Shores for 2 nights and it was absolutely beautiful! The views were amazing and the condo was very nice. The condo was a short walk from Poipu Beach where the water was calm and perfect for our 5 month old. As other reviewers have stated, it was very noisy with the waves crashing just outside the window. And with no A/C, you had to leave the windows open to have any air flow, so it was a choice between it being loud or being comfortable. We reached out to the front desk who brought us 2 more floor fans which greatly helped with air flow. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and loved the location!

This is a great location on Poipu Beach, you can't get closer to the ocean and it is a short walk to the beach. Also a convenient location to explore the Island, close to Lahina and all there is to see on the South shore.
We loved having a first floor unit where we could have breakfast or sit out on the lawn. Super convenient to the pool.
A couple of minor notes, the parking lot was tight for our mid-sized SUV, and you have to descend some stairs to to get to the unit (elevator available).

We just spent an amazing week at 402A - it was our third visit to Poipu but our first in this condo. The pictures are accurate - the views are breathtaking. Every day we watched the sea turtles in the cove below the pool, right from the lanai. We knew there were folks in the neighboring apartments, but only because we saw shoes outside - from inside the condo, we didn’t hear anyone. In fact, the only time we heard anything, it was someone out on their lanai pointing out whales breaching in the distance! The location of the condo was perfect; we walked to the beach, to Brennekes Grill, to the Grand Hyatt and beyond on the trails. We did experience a mechanical issue during our first few days, but Parker was very quick to respond (on the weekend!) and he came up with a solution that worked perfectly for us. Parker was wonderful to work with!! We loved the little touches like a starter set up with coffee, paper goods, etc. and we appreciated the use of a safe as well. The parking lot is indeed tight, but we had no issue finding a spot each day or night in the middle lot. We didn't have much interaction with staff, but everyone we encountered, from the front office to the guys painting the railings, were very friendly. We found this to be a quiet complex in the most beautiful location in Poipu- we will stay here again!

Poipu Shores can simply not be beat. The location is ideal, and both the view and the sounds of the ocean are unforgettable. We especially enjoy the sea turtles and dolphins/porpoises (we can never remember which) that we watch from the patio outside 104A. Simply an amazing place to spend a week.

Wake up each morning to the beautiful ocean view and sound of waves crashing. The condo is fully equipped with everything you need from beach chairs, snorkelling gear, fully equipped kitchen, ac in every room, good wifi, perfect space for two couples or a family. 5 min walk to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful weather in the sunny south Poipu. This place is a dream!

Poipu is a nice location to stay on Kauai; the property is a short walk to Poipu Beach.
The property managers were very responsive & friendly; check-in was a breeze. Way too many automated emails from the company, though.
As for the property - it was okay, but we were not impressed. The view from the lanai was nice. The kitchen has been re-done, and is quite nice. The rest of the place is quite dated. The carpet was stained, the couches were very uncomfortable. Both the glass and screen sliders are very finicky to open and close, and the screen slider came off the track often. It needs to be repaired/replaced. Could use sealing around the windows/doors too.
The unit wasn't that clean when we arrived. For instance, there was a bunch of salt or sugar or something on the counter by the sink, and there was ~ a teaspoon of uncooked rice on the counter in the corner by the island. I appreciate the patterned counter may make it difficult to see this, but whether visible or not, cleaning a unit between guests should include wiping the counters. I cleaned and vacuumed myself before unpacking.
There was a water incident in the unit above, so the master bathroom shower had a plastic sheet for a ceiling, attached with staples and tape. My husband found a staple on the floor while in the shower. We recognize this is not the fault of the owners, and the repair is in progress between guests, but it did add to our being unimpressed with the property.

The pictures of the view are accurate — simply stunning. Our main complaint is that the primary bathroom’s shower is outdated as is the living room sofa.

Watching turtles and listening to the ocean from the lanai was awesome! We did see whales and dolphins too! The set up was awesome absolutely everything you would need in a kitchen. Easy walk into Poipu beach, I’d recommend a car to get around the island- hiked the canyon which was stunning… communication from Parker was great checking in with us. There’s an apartment going two floors down for $1.4 million if you would like some of this spot permanently!

From booking through check in through the entire stay this property was amazing. There was not one “oh I can live that” issue. Everything was clean and in place as shown and listed. Corey was wonderful to work with but quite honestly there didn’t need to be any interaction since a few days prior to arriving we had photos and guide on what to expect. The sound of the waves on the sea wall for us was the finishing touch on an oceanfront property. The turtles in the ocean did not disappoint either. My wife fell in love with the pool as well.

We love this unit. The large ground-floor lanai provides easy access to the ocean front, and the upstairs bedroom lanai has direct views of all the turtles that frequent the shoreline here. Being an end unit it has a large side window that gives an additional view and lots of light. The unit is well equipped with everything you need for the beach and the kitchen, and has a library including island guides. We're booked for next year.

Our overall impression is WOW! There were four ladies in our group, and we were able to spread out and were very comfortable. Two baths, two bedrooms. Fans for circulation, with or without the air being on. Great kitchen!! Being the chef for the ladies I was overjoyed with the accessories, pot & pans, etc. Made the trip so much easier. Plus, the Host was very accommodating and was accessible. Very responsive.. Thanks again for allowing us to visit Poipu in style and have the best adventure ever!!

We very much enjoyed this location and watching the waves crash up right outside our door and windows. Hearing the sound of the ocean every day and watching the sunsets was amazing.

We saw it all from this amazing condo. The Tommy chairs and cooler were nice to have. The location is close enough to walk to Poipu Beach. Everything you need to cook with. I will note there was no cooking oil or salt and pepper. Spacious on the inside. We had a couples massage in the living room and there was plenty of space for both tables. AC was nice to have as well. This place gets 5 stars!!

Great location and well maintained property. Only issue was pillow case was slightly stained and staff replaced in a timely manner. When replacing pillow cases found pillows to have multiple stains on both sides and appeared to be very worn. Pillows were located in second bedroom.

We loved the place and would definitely consider booking again.
What we liked:
- Location, location, location. Proximity to nice beaches and the balcony views were amazing.
- The pool - it's humble, but nice to jump in after a long day
- Information book - a lot of great information about things to do and recommendations for food and various activities
- Convenient stuff available - little things like boogie boards, backup sunscreen, etc.
What we didn't:
- The windows don't close completely and there can be noise from people outside at night
- Parking - the spaces are limited and very tight
- Ice maker was super slow to refill and easy to accidentally shut off. It would be great to have some ice trays as backup

My family and I have stayed at a number of places in Kauai, but this has the best view of any. It's not even comparable. The easy walk to Poipu Beach made this condo a perfect choice for my parents (both 72) and me. You can tell it's a rental (no personal touches, no salt & pepper, only one pillow on the bed) but it gets the job done. It hasn't been upgraded in a while (the stove took 17 years to heat up enough to cook the pizzas) but it's all good. We were happy to sit on the lanai and drink wine while we waited. They had very comfy beach towels and great water pressure. Would definitely stay again! But may bring my own pillow next time haha.

Poipu Shores is a small, well located complex directly on the Ocean shores. Our unit was clean, well equipped and in good repair. The view is awesome. One nice perk, the unit includes a membership at the Poipu athletic club should you want use of fitness classes or a gym. We look forward to returning to Poipu Shores again.

High marks for owner Melody and the unit as well as location and view. We had some difficulty getting into the unit (due in part to my misreading of owner’s instructions. And the Vrbo agent). When I called Vrbo for help I was connected with Vrbo agent who was difficult to understand. That may have been due, in part, by his accent and my difficulty hearing him. After some difficulty finding our booking he told us our reservations had been cancelled for nonpayment of the balance due. We told him that was impossible as we had confirmation of payment and access information. He told us the information was from an owner whose name we did not know. I called that owner and she told me she owned property onKauai but this was not her property and knew nothing about our reservation. We spoke again with the same Vrbo agent that had no explanation who offered to find a similar unit at another Vrbo property at no cost to us. I reread the owner’s instructions and figured out the proper procedure and got into our unit. This was NOT caused by our host but my mistake compounded by the Vrbo agent’s to resolvethe issue by more investigation. It was a combination of tired travelers and poor communication with the Vrbo agent. He completely had the wrong information, the wrong unit, the wrong confirmation, the wrong owner ,and was unable to correctly identify our reservation that began what turned out to be a great vacation at a great spot. This was NOT an owner issue This was a VRBO CREATED error apparently based on information in Vrbo records. The agent was trying to be helpful but was relying on Vrbo records that started this one hour frustrating event.

Great location. Incredible view. Well maintained and appointed. Great stay. Don't forget to look out over the inlet by the pool, as this is loaded with turtles.

We loved watching whale spouts, spinner dolphins and sea turtles nearly every day from the lanai. Close to Poipu beach and everything else the south shore has to offer.
Kitchen is well equipped and the condo is clean and nicely decorated. The hosts were communicative about a small facility issue that came up. Outside their control, but they still provided a work around and made it right.

We loved our stay at Poipu Shores, we were able to get early check in and the unit / views / location were all amazing. We’ve already recommended it to other friends coming to Poipu soon!

Absolutely LOVED our stay at this property! Extremely well equipped, very comfortable and more spacious than expected - it felt like we were in our own home (just with a sea view :)) ). Great pool area and the front lawn was definitely a hit with the kids and allowed us to enjoy a Hawaiian sunset every evening. Short walk to Poipu beach. Will definitely be back, thanks for hosting us!

This property had everything we needed and more. It had a breathtaking view and we were able to watch whales and sea turtles in the water from the lanai. It was also walking distance to Brennecke’s beach, which was very convenient. The only downside, which is of no fault of the unit, is that the parking spaces at the complex were very small, so it makes parking with a larger rental car (we had a van) tricky.

Perfect location. Close to shops and restaurants. Walked every morning to Poipu point over looking the Hyatt. Pool was great too, clean and warm. We saw turtles from the balcony as well. Def will try to come back.

This is a very clean and well-appointed condo. The view was amazing, right on the ocean! We watched whales while we ate breakfast on the deck and from the pool we watched sea turtles below, for hours. We loved the well-appointed kitchen which was well-stocked. The washer/dryer was so handy and this unit is air conditioned. It's only a 7-minute walk the beach, restaurants and hiking trails. Perfect!!

Poipu Shores sits right up against the ocean, crashing over the rocks just below where you will see sea turtles swimming all day every day. We had whale sightings everyday from our room. 101A is particularly wonderful because it sits on the lawn, just a few steps away from the pool. There is nothing like falling to sleep windows open to the crashing waves just outside. Poipu beach is a very short walk away. The condo provided a wagon for all of our beach gear. It was comfortable and well stocked with kitchen supplies.
