First time to this area and stayed five nights during Feb '25. Great location. Condo was in decent shape, clean and over all very nice and comfortable. Was worried about no AC but enjoyed falling asleep to the ocean with windows open. Would rent this again

Our 10 day stay was so enjoyable! The remodeled penthouse unit was beautifully furnished and the expansive ocean added to our whale watching success! We have already booked for the future! Highly recommended!

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The view can not be beat! 180 degree ocean view from the lanai. We spend every morning and sunset out there watching whales and just relaxing. The building is really showing its age however the finishes and furnishings in this unit are updated and in good condition. No noise from the street or neighbors, only the ocean! Well equipped kitchen. Great location in Poipu! We could walk to the beach. I think it was 1/3 of a mile. In the other direction was a fantastic walking path that runs up to the Hyatt. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning. Listing says it has AC but it’s only a tiny portable unit that doesn’t really do much unless you’re standing in front of it. It was requested that we leave the windows closed while out for the day so that means we came home to a roasting hot condo. Even in January, fans and ocean breezes don’t really cut it. Mornings were pleasant but after an entire day of south facing sun exposure, the afternoons, evenings, and nights were not very comfortable inside. But I must reiterate that the view and location are absolutely top notch!

If you are looking for the place to watch Kauai sunsets, this is the place! Denise was a great host. The property is well appointed, and the location on the south side of the island is a short walk to beaches. I liked being in a quiet residential area that was also a short drive to restaurants and shopping.

We had a delightful stay at Mele Moana. The condo is comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. It is in a great location, close to beaches, trails, and restaurants. We enjoyed the fabulous views from our lanai of the daily visits by the whales and the stunning sunsets. Ellen is a wonderful host. Highly recommended - 5 stars!

This condo had the perfect Lanai for enjoying coffee in the morning or our wine at night and watching the whales. It’s so close to coffee shops, restaurants and most importantly beaches. The property itself had everything we needed and more. The owner was so gracious and helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again for our next Kauai holiday.

Stayed for a week with my husband for our anniversary. Property was clean, easily accessible and quiet! Property was just as described and had everything we needed. The views were amazing! Lots of beaches close by. If they would put a blind or curtain on the kitchen window, it would be perfect!

The trip was incredible. The view and lanai is by far the best part of it. We watched whales breaching and swimming by the entire stay. We saw dolphins and turtles and Brennecke’s beach and poipu beach is so close we spent a ton of time there. Can’t wait to go back.

Husband, myself, 20, 17 and 10 year old boys had enough room, loved the view-appreciated being up above the other structures and had an amazing view! Call to ask what is available in the kitchen before you buy, plenty of towels, fun beach toys available for kids , walking distance to beach and thankful for the washer/dryer, two bedrooms and two bathrooms…and did I mention the view!

We loved Denise’s condo. The location was amazing (walking distance to the beach) and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep every night. The unit was super clean, well equipped and the king bed was extremely comfortable. We highly recommend this rental and hope to stay here again sometime.

We have stayed in many different units at this condo, and this is by far the best appointed. Everything you could ask for in terms of amenities and supplies, with an overabundance of beach stuff, including extra chairs umbrellas and tons of snorkeling gear . Great communication from managing aging, who took the trouble to check in the day after we arrived to make sure everything was okay. This unit also has an air conditioner, which is rare in this building. We didn't need to use it, but during the summer months it's a great thing to have. Wonderful renovation, the addition of a door from the living area to the bathroom is a major asset, especially if someone is staying on the couch

This was a wonderful place to stay, located close to the ocean & local beaches/restaurants. It was close to everything we wanted to see on this side of the island, everything was minutes away. Very quiet and loved falling asleep to the ocean waves. We will be back, and we will stay here again.

Reviewer Comments:
location was awesome as always. general condition of unit was poor.I understand with living by the ocean maintenance is higher but there were things that could have been addresses that weren’t. The bedspread in the main bedroom was badly stained, the foam on the king side bed was literally breaking apart and we had to remove it completely. We did inform the manager Vicki that we had done so as well. The handle to flush the toilet in main BR kept falling off on the inside and we informed the plumber when he was there of the situation and he did say it would have to be replaced. It didn’t happen while we were there though. I realize the deck was breaking down due to weather but it should have at least been swept off so pieces of concrete weren't’ being brought into the unit. We have visited the beautiful Island of Kauai since 1999 and have enjoyed our stays. The costs now are so high that when you pay as much as we did for 16 nights it was very disappointing. Also the rugs desperately need cleaning. It also would have been nice to have had a clean mat for the shower. I will add the manager who maintained the grounds themselves was excellent. thank you for inquiring.\

Top notch! Outstanding! Spacious! The condo had everything you could possibly need for cooking, eating, doing laundry & going to the beach. All we needed was food.The location is excellent. The pool was warm & cleaned daily. The condo had two ceiling fans plus 2 floor fans - which we used. The only minor drawback is that this condo faces straight west - so the afternoon sun can get quite hot & intense for sitting on the lanai.

First time at Sunset Kahului and it was exactly as described. Kauai Vacation Rentals had a packet ready for us with precise directions and parking spot. The unit was clean, had everything we needed. The view from the lanai was beautiful. We ate out there all the time. It will get warm in the unit if you don’t keep the drapes closed in the afternoons. It was very quiet and relaxing. We will definitely be back again.

Best for a couple…or a couple of best friends who easily navigate a single bathroom (2 doors); a comfortable hide-away sofa/bed with two fans; and sliding panels to separate bedroom area which has an air-conditioning unit. We did have a rental car, as we were exploring the island this trip, and really appreciated it, as there are no neighborhood grocery stores and limited dining options in walking distance. Great beach chairs and well-stocked beach towels appreciated!

As advertised: gorgeous views, quiet complex, great pool, and quaint condo. I agree with a previous renter that some basic maintenance is in order. And I would also suggest more linens, both kitchen and bathroom: not enough there if a week or more stay. The price is hard to beat and we had a fabulous time. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Ellen.

My husband and I stayed at this property last week, and it was perfect for us! The sunset view from the balcony is amazing! It’s a quick walk down to the beach where the sea turtles came up onto the beach every evening. We explored the entire island, and this was a great location for our home base. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and having a washer and dryer was very helpful. The pool was clean and perfect when we needed to break from the beach. It was a very quiet complex, we did not hear any noises from neighbors. The living room furniture seemed brand new and looks very nice in the room. The bed was really comfortable as well. We will definitely stay here again if we visit Kauai in the future!

The view from the lanai was outstanding and we enjoyed our coffee there in the mornings and a sundowner in the evening. The condo itself was fine but starting to show its age. We were not a fan of the no air conditioning and had difficulty sleeping because of the lack of a cool bedroom. We were unable to use the laundry facilities because the dryer was not vented to the outside and quickly made the condo unbearable. I would not rent this condo again.

Best condo view ever, even better IRL. Their team is so helpful and promptly fixed the WiFi outage and helped when we locked ourselves out. Stayed with a girlfriend and It was a good size between us but wouldn’t want to stay with 2 couples since one room is absolutely amazing and th other has no ocean view and two twin beds. Perfect beach walk location too!

We mostly enjoyed our stay at your condo. It was very clean and decorated nicely. The condo was stocked with enough things to save you some money not having to buy spices and such.There were some things we didn’t particularly care for, one being when we sit on the patio just 10 feet away there are neighbors on their patio, staring at us. So that’s not private enough for what we prefer. I would never stay in Kauai again without having an air conditioner. Even though the Reviews say that the tradewinds cool it off. They certainly don’t cool it off enough. We are from Arizona and love the heat, but this was more than we could handle. Luckily there were several fans so we had them all going. Two of the four days we were there was miserably hot inside. We were expecting to just look out off of our patio and see the ocean instead we saw the parking lot, beyond the parking lot is the ocean, but you can’t see it without looking at the parking lot. We love the location and will return to a condo with a better view and an air conditioner.

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It is located above the ocean where you could hear the waves crashing against the shore. The view is amazing!!
It was a short drive to a lovely beach. There were great beach chairs and towels. All of the dishes, pots and pans needed were there.
Oddly, There was no shade on the window in the front door, so anyone walking by could look right in. We taped paper towels over this window for privacy and safety.
The living room sofa and couch needed to be refreshed…I bought some fabreeze which helped.
With a couple of changes, I would return to this property.
Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. .
