I absolutely LOVED our stay here. The waves, the pool, the views. God, it was like a dream. So quiet and always a nice ocean breeze. Bed was unreal. Super comfortable! Will definitely be booking more trips and hopefully can stay here again. The women who helped me at Kauai vacation rentals had exceptional customer service!!!

This unit was described as 5 star amazing condo with AC. In reality it was totally the opposite. I would rate this condo a 2 star and I would I’m being nice.
The AC absolutely did not accommodate to beat the weather. We had bugs in the bathroom. We found a (sewing needle) in our comforter . Yes you heard right!
That’s when I call the property manager. Her response to me was ( I can see where that can happen ) .
I was applaud with her response. But I knew my misery what not her concern . Even though she did ask me ( what can she do for me ). Maybe a refund for advertising a stay that is clearly not a 5 star with AC. Oh did I forget to mention the vent to the dryer goes directly to the bathroom wall behind the door . Yes it blows HOT air . When Kauai temperature is 80 and above with humidity. We all come to visit from all parts of the world. The last thing people want experience is false information.

Total scam. We did all dishes, left our towels in a pile on the floor, and even vacuumed, despite paying a cleaning fee. They also tired to claim we broke a blind, then admitted it was ZIPTIED TOGETHER “TO SAVE IT’S LIFE” before we got there. KWe are two lawyers in our 40s. We don’t leave places messy and we don’t break things. Do not book here.

What an awesome place and the stay was perfect! Incredible location! What i loved most about this was the ability to head to the beach in a couple minutes, in either direction, and if you're a trail runner or just like to hike you are in a perfect spot. When we first arrived i was worried it was going to be to hot as there's no AC, but at night the breeze left it very nice and listening to the ocean with that breeze, babies don't sleep that good!

This property was so adorable! I stayed here for a conference I was attending, and it was the perfect home base. The view is simply stunning, and I loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves at night. Can't wait to bring my family back with me! Would highly recommend!

Great location with beautiful views of the sunset! Nicely furnished and kitchen had what we needed to prepare a few light meals during our stay. We noticed a neighbor condo had a screen door on the entry door. That would be a nice addition to this unit as it would help allow the cooler breezes from the North to flow thru the unit. Thank you for a great stay!

We had such a great stay here. It was clean, the location was great, quiet, and it had all the amenities (i.e., cooking utensils, ice maker, cleaning supplies, beach towels, chairs, washer and dryer, even a cooler!) The no AC is really not an issue as there were plenty of fans. It did not bother us. This condo was everything we could have asked for and more!

The perfect Poipu location, on the highest floor with breathtaking ocean views for miles! The apartment was immaculate and thoughtfully furnished...right down to ice water and ice cubes upon arrival! This is a smaller, vintage complex (which personally I love!) so you get a unit that has more room overall and a colorful Hawaiian character than some bland resort. The grounds are pristine, including a pool that changes color! However it is not a new property, but impeccably maintained. The unit itself was entirely upgraded and looks exactly like the photos. There was an assigned parking space and so easy to load and unload. Personally I love an elevator! There is no way I could carry my luggage up five flights, so that was super important to me. There wasn’t an AC but I immediately opened the windows and the trades and fans kept it cool. A wonderful unit!

We love staying in Poipu! Sunny with plenty of great places to eat and great views of the ocean and sunset! We have stayed at Sunset Kahili for 5 years each June and we love the location, the ocean view and the amazing trade winds that keep the condo cool. This unit has everything you need for a wonderful stay. We love walking down to Poipu beach each morning to see the turtles and viewing the sunset from the lanai each evening!

This might be our 4th or 5th June in this unit. I have lost track. We kept coming back for all the right reasons. We love the Kahili, the 5th floor view, Poipu and Kauai. This is a familiar home away from home, and we love that. My husband passed away last year, so this was a poignant return for me.

My wife and I were on our Honeymoon. It was our firat time visiting Kauai and we had a great time. This VRBO offered us a great location in Poipu. Its walking distance to Poipu beach where we spent a lot of time snorkeling and enjoying the weather. There were great views of the beach and sunset from the balcony. Everything was clean and well maintained. It was great for my wife and I. We even had an issue with our flights coming home and the property manager was quick to help us arrange an additional night to stay. We recommend this VRBO and would stay here again. Thank you for the great hospitality!

Loved Our Stay in Hawaii!We had such a great time at this place! The house was super clean, comfy, and had everything we needed—plenty of towels, a well-stocked kitchen, even beach gear. The vibe was really relaxed and the décor had that nice island feel that made it extra special.There’s no A/C, but honestly, we loved it during the day The breeze flows through the house and the ceiling fans kept it cool, when there was crosswinds. It felt nice to enjoy the fresh air instead of being sealed up inside. Only suggestion is to place a portable AC unit in master bedroom. To use when there aren’t any crosswinds.The location was awesome—quiet and peaceful but close enough to beaches, food spots, and fun things to do. The hosts were super friendly and even left us a welcome basket with local treats. That was such a nice surprise!If you're looking for a chill Hawaiian getaway, this is the spot. We’d totally stay here again!

Perfect location and great place! It had amazing views and we were able to walk to the beach. Close to a few great food options. The place itself was well kept and well stocked with towels and beach equipment. Driveway was a little steep, so be careful and go slow if you rent a low car as you can scrape the bottom on the way out. Would definitely rent again!

We had a wonderful time and it was the perfect location. The check in process and communication was great as well. An added bonus was access to the health club to work out and enjoy the beautiful pool - all within walking distance. The only thing that kept us from giving 5 stars was some basic supplies were not stocked for us (washing machine soap, paper towels, body lotion). If you're looking for a clean and no frills place to stay with an amazing view and location, this is it. We had a great time!

We will be coming back next year! Thank you!

This was a wonderful rental for our stay. It had everything you could possibly need as well as lawn chairs, a beach umbrella and a cooler that were very useful. I’m not sure this would be great for small children as I was talking very briefly to the neighbor staying next-door to me on the balcony outside and had the maintenance man come and tell me the entire place could hear my conversation and I needed to be more quiet aware.

When we first arrived, we found laundry still in the washing machine. We put the laundry in the dryer and noticed that the dryer was vented into the bathroom making it hot and humid, even though the windows were all open fully. The temperature likely reached 90 degrees. We found a large fan and positioned it to push more air out the window.The bathroom was dirty and moldy. Venting into a bathroom encourages mold, and it’s a code violation. See photos of dirt/mold, venting, fan.We noticed that the sliding door did not lock. The welcome letter cautioned us to be sure to lock doors and windows when we left. I wrote to the manager, who wrote that was only for units on the ground floor, which was puzzling.The VRBO listing utilizes a visual which indicates that there is a gym on the premises. It also makes it seem that why you need to purchase the 25 a day gym membership is to use the pool, which is not true. When the listing has a gym logo, any user would take it that the gym was on the premises, not that it’s a ten-minute drive away, over a mile away. When I tried getting our 25 charge removed, the manager said simply that it was not refundable. We urge VRBO to investigate these misleading visuals and text. The entire property is very tired. The curtain valances are broken—the small wires holding them up are rusted away. The windows are not easy to open and close. The terrace furniture cushions were torn and frayed. See photos.

This was a perfect spot for my wife and I. The unit was clean and comfortable with a nice kitchen, and a great porch for hanging out. Also it’s less than a 10 min walk to Poipu Beach where we watched sea turtles every day we were there. The staff was also very friendly and responsive. We locked ourselves out on a weekend day when the office was closed and within 30 minutes they sent someone to unlock the door for us. Check in process was smooth and easy. Would absolutely stay here again.

When you advertise the rental, you should have stated that there was going to be construction/demolition going on during our stay. Started at 8:00am through 4:00pm. This project was to last a month. Secondly, Vrbo fees are ridiculous. Don't know what the hell I paid 400.00 for.Won't use Vrbo again

Overall the place is ok. The parking is hard to find as the signage isn’t very easy to see. We did use the laundry one day and they worked great. Not too fancy. Was in a quiet area. You cannot see the ocean from the unit but can hear it. It is a doable walk to the ocean but if going for the day you may want to drive instead of carrying everything.

We have stayed at Sunset Kahlili several times, at various units. It is a wonderful location. The unit we rented was a great location, as always. However, the unit was not clean based on our expectations and the cleanliness of other units we have stayed in. Also, the rugs were old and appeared unclean, the towels were limited and in need of replacement. Improvement in cleanliness and some replacement of old fixtures will make this unit as nice a rental as the others in Sunset Kahlili.

Easy to enjoy. Some of the tenants are older and set in there ways. Husband was on the phone by the pool and his voice carries and is loud. He got lectured about that. We’re kind of on edge about noise and such. We are quiet and non parties. Didn’t complain about a jack hammer going all day on the next door unit.
