1st trip to kauai
Quiet, clean and close to beaches and restaurants. Good supply of spices and basic kitchen supplies. Stairwell light is funky because there are 3 switches for it. Would have been nice to know what streaming apps were included and how to access xable.

Great location! Definitely recommend
This was a great condo with beautiful views. The area is being developed, so it's not clear how long the views will be nice, but the property is great and while a bit aged (older appliances) the beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice. It's not easy to find a reasonably priced property in Poipu, and this property fits the bill!

Great Spot!
This was a very nice condo and a perfect area. We were minutes away from our dinners at the Grand Hyatt and minutes away from our favorite beaches, including Poipu. It was a nice and clean spot, and we would definitely stay here again. The construction didn’t bother us, but we usually spent all day at the beach and the workers were gone by the time we would get back from dinner. Easy check in and we were happy.

Great Location, Great stay!
The condo is perfect for four people, whether all adults or with 2 kids that can share a bed. It is very well appointed. The owner really went out of their way to give you everything you need to have a great stay, including beach chairs, towels, boogies boards, coolers, and snorkeling equipment! The full size washer and dryer are an added plus! From the balcony you can absolutely see the ocean as well as from the master bedroom. **One thing to note that wasn’t a problem for us, but could be for others, the unit is on the third floor and there is no elevator. I can absolutely recommend and wish we could stay longer!

Kauai in June!
Property just as described. Lovely treats when we arrived. Great view although they are building in front of unit. We never had any issues with noise. Very quite complex. No parking issues. Very clean unit with beach floaties, toys for kids, games, and snorkel equipment. Super close to Shipwreck beach and Poipu beach.

Good location
Positives: 1. The rental process was organized and seamless. 2. Good communication from the property managers. 3. Older unit but well maintained and clean. Very spacious. 4. Great location in Poipu. The only complaint I have is the "oceanfront view" is now mostly a construction view. Would not get this property for the view, but otherwise, was a great rental. Thanks for hosting us!

Great Location and Views
This is an older condo that has been well-maintained and has most everything you'll need for your stay - towels, beach chairs, snorkels, kitchen utensils and supplies. Only thing missing was a coffee grinder. The condo is located next to a beach trail that takes you in front of the Grand Hyatt and connects to the Mahalepu Beach Trail, which we walked almost daily. These are truly stunning beach cliffs. It's also walking distance to Brenneke's Beach and Brenneke's Restaurant with open windows looking out over the ocean. This was our first stay on the South shore and we truly enjoyed it. There are also many other good restaurants in the area. We were saddened that after we booked, they started building multi-million $ luxury homes on the land in front of our row of condos. There will still be an ocean view, just not as pristine and uncluttered as before. Occasionally the workers used heavy equipment at 7am, but most days this was not an issue. Overall, this was a great place to stay and the location provides good access to many of the places you'll want to go.

Beautiful and Great Location
This property was such a great find. We will definitely be back. Location was up the hill from the beaches but great view of the ocean and extremely quiet. Definitely walkable to the beach with great access to some amazing hikes. We saw several whales, dolphins and turtles from the balcony. Very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home.

Loved having space for all of us. The AC was much appreciated after a long day of sightseeing and the beach. Plenty of dish soap, laundry detergent, and even bathroom supplies. And the sunrise mornings were exactly what we needed. Thank you!

We stayed Dec 2023 for 5 nights and it was very nice. Clean, full kitchen, 3 bathrooms for 4 adults was a plus as was the washer and dryer. We didn’t have great weather to enjoy the balcony but liked having it just the same. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Enjoyable stay in Poipu area
The place was clean, cozy, and well stocked with all kinds of supplies from Kitchen to outdoor activities. The down side was the view from the Lanai. There was construction going on, but we were warned in advance and given an option to change and we didn't so it's on us. The pool had no shaded area and the hot tub was out of commission. The walking path along the coast had such beautiful views. It was a good stay.

Amazing off-hotel meeting stay
Wonderful upgraded and appointed multi-level condo! Entrance up a flight of stairs, and all bedrooms upstairs as well. Nice full kitchen. Ocean and cliff views. Nearby construction does not obstruct views. Next to great trail... catch the sunrise over the ocean and crashing waves! 15-minute walk from Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach either by trail or sidewalks and paths.

Comfortable Unit with a view in beautiful area of Kauai
This property was overkill for just my wife and I (We didn’t really need 2 bedrooms, common area sleeping & 3 bathrooms), we knew this and were glad we stayed here. The unit was incredibly well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen & recreational equipment (we used the beach chairs & mask/snorkel sets.). The view of the ocean was amazing (unfortunately partially obstructed by construction and material storage for new buildings.). There was additional construction in progress on the resort grounds with scaffolding and daytime construction activity to replace windows & siding. The railings on the balcony are being evaluated for safety and are so posted (many units have orange “snow fence” attached to the railings.) This unit was clean and it was great to have laundry in the unit. We did note some issues with the pocket door to the master bathroom and electrical switches (which we reported to the property managers and we did not require resolution during our stay.) Overall the grounds, pool area and “sunset viewing” area on the property were well manicured and enjoyable. Parking was plentiful and convenient. We spent many hours watching whales from our balcony and also enjoyed the amazing heritage trail that you can walk to directly from the property. We enjoyed seeing green sea turtles and monk seals on the nearby beaches (walking distance.). It was a great base for touring south & west Kaua’i. We would certainly consider staying here again on a return trip to Kaua’i.

Great value
This unit was comfortable, nice floors, plenty of beach stuff. Certain things are a little odd, but overall a fabulous location. Just know that if you go in the winter, it’s so windy that you will not be able to sit on the lanai. It’s basically a wind tunnel because you are at the lowest point of Kauai and there is nothing around and the winds are very strong. Decent pool, lots of cool trails. Funky showers but the water is hot. The third floor has a weird sink in it and is just odd in general. Didn’t use it at all. Ocean front but you are a decent ways back from the water.
