Poipu Shores, Kauai

Poipu Shores is an oceanfront condominium complex about a 5 minute walk from Brennecke beach and 7 minutes to Poipu Beach park. Most units at Poipu Shores are less than 100ft from the water with outstanding ocean views. In fact the complex boasts some of the best views on the south shore with the condos built on an outcropping looking down Poipu's coast. A swimming pool hovers above the edge of the ocean.

In the summer, when the south shore experiences bigger surf, waves create a dramatic effect as they splash against the lava rocks beside the condo. In the virtual tour below you'll see the splashing waves are visible from the inside of ground floor units (see unit 106A and 104A tours)! This is true of all building A's ground floor units. In the winter, whales are often seen along this section of the coast.

Also within walking distance is Shipwreck beach and the restaurants of the Grand Hyatt. Units at Poipu Shores range in size from 912-1035 sq ft (building A), 630-1041 sq ft (building B) and 1200 sq ft (building C). Email us if you'd like to know the exact size of a particular unit.

Reviewer Portrait

The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.

Guest reviews of the Poipu Shores condo resort on Kauai are overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the resort's exceptional location and stunning ocean views. Many guests enjoyed watching turtles, dolphins, and sea lions directly from their decks. The condos are described as lovely, spacious, and well-equipped, providing a peaceful environment where guests can relax to the sounds of the waves. The proximity to Poipu Beach for turtle watching and the inclusion of amenities such as boogie boards and chairs were appreciated.

This Poipu condo is perfectly set up for a great stay. Hosts provide beach chairs & an umbrella, beach cart, snorkeling gear—and we left new fins for future guests!AC works great, W/D in unit and the view & location, breathtaking. Sunsets are spectacular and we lucked out for full moonrises too. Only great things to say. Mahalo!

Our stay in Kauai was amazing and we truly loved the VRBO. Sitting on the deck watching the waves was the best! A very relaxing stay and the condo met all our needs.

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The unit is nicely appointed and had everything we needed and more, but the oceanfront location was the highlight. We’ve been to Hawaii about 20 times and have stayed in some wonderful places, all with ocean views, but none has matched this. We will definitely return.

105C was EXACTLY as advertised/shown. Not always the case but this one is! Perfect in all respects!

From seeing sea turtles sand dolphins swimming by, right from our deck, to the explosion of waves crashing on the rocks and up the sea wall, we have been in awe.The kitchen was amazingly organized and complete with everything we needed- and more.The bedrooms, living snd dining area, all well done. Plenty of towels- and lots of extas.And the pool was sparkling clean and a comfortable temperature. We hope to come back here again.

planned this trip for my 81-year-old mother, who had always dreamed of seeing the turtles one last time. I found this property, and it couldn't have been more perfect—especially with elevator access, which made things much easier for her. We spent hours on the patio, enjoying the sound of waves crashing against the lava rocks and watching the turtles right from where we sat. It was a truly special and memorable experience.

Great location on top of the ocean and turtles. Nice relaxing pool and easy access to Poipu Beach. AC was great addition after a day in the sun and surf. Well appointed kitchen and gas grill right outside made it easy to cook our own dinners. In-unit laundry also made our packing list very small.

We enjoyed our stay at Poipu Shores. The communication with the team was very good. We loved seeing turtles and other sea animals each day.

We had a wonderful stay in Kauai! The condo is as described and was very clean throughout with the exception of mildew on the shower curtain and a mildew smell upon arrival. Cynthia said after we left this would be addressed. She stated it is due to people running the AC all the time and not on the dry mode. I do not believe we received any information regarding running the AC in dry mode. Otherwise, very pleasant stay.

Gorgeous views - saw turtles, spinner dolphins and even a whale from balcony! Beautiful 360 views and privacy. Lovely welcome bowl of coffee and cookies and hand cart with 5 Tommy B chairs, 3 umbrellas, biggie boards and even snorkels! Also lots of clean towels, shampoo, body wash and laundry supplies. Only thing I would suggest are more AC units - def one in smaller room- and I wish the pool (which is deep and huge) stayed open later than sundown. We would absolutely stay here again!

Phenomenal location and sweeping views. We saw turtles, whales and dolphins from the beautiful lanai. Comfortable bed, clean and well appointed. Lots to do! Walking distance to restaurants. Short drive to local beaches to see the turtles rest. Nothing like returning from the beach to more ocean views! Book your stay here!

My husband, sister and I stayed here for 8 of our 14 nights in Kauai. The condo was as described and met our needs. Our favorite part was the awesome views while sitting on our balcony. Loved watching the sea turtles and crashing waves into the lava rocks in front of us. Also, a plus is the short walk to PoiPu Beach. Would definitely stay here again.

Our family had a wonderful time in Poipu. We were allowed to drop our things off early, which was super helpful in that we had food that needed to be in a fridge. The location was walkable to many things and the view was incredible! We saw whales and sea turtles from our balcony!! The pool was nice and warm. The kitchen was clean and had all that we needed. I would definitely stay here again!

loved this place for quiet and proximity to beach. I would suggest a little loving care is needed. The ice machine was broken, the lock on the door didnt lock, but a handyman came and fixed it, very nice guy. Also the screen door downstairs needed replacing. I would love to have more plastic food containers for storage and plastic cups for patio use, also need updating to beach chairs, umbrella and cooler for the beach. these arent a huge deal breaker, would just make for a perfect stay. we plan on returning next year and would love to stay again. we liked the entire set up of the condominium complex. thanks for a great vacation. maholo cynthia

Beautiful oceanfront location. Unit provides dish soap and toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Don't expect anything in the kitchen to help prepare a meal,

This second story unit is right on top of the bluff just a two minute walk east of Poipu Beach. The waves come in non stop at this location and provide a breathtaking view as they smash against the rocks and splash up into the air. You can see Poipu Beach, several other beaches and the Spouting Horn from the deck as well as stunning Kauai sunsets. The beds were comfortable and the AC units worked perfectly. The insulation is great and we never heard any noise from adjacent units. We were very happy with this unit other than the non functioning screen door from the living room to the deck.

Definitely recommend. The unit was clean and just as described. The manager was very communicative prior and during the stay. The unit even included multiple beach chairs, boogie boards, towels and a hand cart to haul your gear to the beach! Although the (included) parking spaces are small, it much better than parking with the masses at the beach.

My husband & I have stayed at many VRBOs across the country. Melodee’s place was exactly as described. It’s so nice to have an owner that will answer emails & questions immediately! As everyone has said, the views are amazing. Watching the turtles up close and the whales in the distance was a fantastic way to spend free time. (Melodee even has binoculars for you to use)Another added bonus was all of the beach gear she provided. Chairs, umbrella, beach towels & a cooler with ice packs made beach going so much easier. The furniture could use some updating, but everything else was perfect!

This was our 3rd time staying at this condo. We love the location, the resort, the pool. The neighborhood is very walkable. The view is so beautiful. You can’t get any closer to the ocean. We enjoyed watching the whales, sea turtles and beautiful sunsets. The management is very personable and accessible. Hope to be back soon.

We were looking for a place on the ocean, with a private pool, upper level lanai, sunset views, near a beach and only 2 BR. This unit exceeded our expectations. We were happy to see the wagon with all the beach supplies in the extra bedroom closet. Once we saw our first whale from the lanai, I was regretting not bringing along my own binoculars. Then I found a pair on a shelf under the TV. Parker has thought about everything one might need to enjoy the condo. The ocean waves made our nights so relaxing and peaceful. The vibrant shades of blue took our breath away. Incredibly beautiful sunsets. Tight parking spaces but I was able to back our rental sedan next to the lava wall to the left of the registration office, leaving enough room to avoid any car door dings.I would definitely stay in this unit again if we are lucky enough to have a future visit.A shout out to the young man in charge of taking care of the pool. He is doing a fine job.

Nice, roomy property in a beautiful location. Comfortable living spaces. Kitchen fairly well stocked. Extra large patio area was a great bonus...being on the end made property feel very private.Poipu shores is in a great location, walkable to beaches and close to most places in Poipu. Complex is a little dated, parking is tight and a bit limited. Pool is nice but cold as heater was broken when we visited. People with disabilities may have a difficult time here given the access from parking lot. But overall I'd highly recommend this property and this unit in particular.

We loved this condo. Clean, beautiful, perfectly located. Amazing view of the waves and sun and even turtles swimming below. Check in process smooth. Everything was really wonderful. Want to come back soon!

It doesn’t get any closer to the ocean. Roaring surf, abundant sea life, beautiful sunsets and ready access to beaches. The unit is small, well-appointed and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with the necessary tools to cook a meal. A washer and dryer made our stay and our return home much easier. We booked another week for next year. ‘Nut said!

View could not be beat. Saw turtles and whales from the balcony of the apartment and from the pool. Easy walk to the beach. Apt itself is slightly outdated for the price, and had multiple issues with the door lock. Staff was extremely helpful however (although still asked us to pay extra charge for late checkout when we were locked out of apt for an hour that morning dur to failure of wifi lock).

This property surpassed my expectations. The location was excellent and we spent time on the deck watching/listening to the pounding surf. As we were here in February it was whale season and we were able to see many whales and also turtles. We cooked most of our meals and found the kitchen to be well stocked. Extra touches like an assortment of chip clips and containers for leftovers were much appreciated. We found everything we needed for a beach day and especially made use of the wagon for taking our dive gear to the rental car. Parker was very responsive and available. I would stay here again and recommend to friends and family visiting Kauai.
