The place was spotless and well appointed. Everything was well thought out. Air conditioning in the bedroom and loft were effective. Fans and windows open were great. Road noise didn’t bother us with the fans on. The pool and beaches were great for kids and easy to access. They had a wagon, beach chairs, boogie boards, and coolers which elevated the beach experience.

Mahalo for your great review! We’re happy to hear you found the place spotless and well set up. Glad the A/C and fans kept you comfortable and that the pool and beaches were perfect for the kids. Awesome that you enjoyed the beach gear too. Hope to have you back soon.
It has everything we needed including a noise maker which I forgot to bring. The AC worked well and we all slept well.

Loved all the detail items that really help us on vacation: beach chairs and boogie boards, blenders and even the squatty potty. Had a blast and enjoyed ourselves. Only thing we didn’t love was the tennis courts charging us money to play each time was annoying. since it’s right next to the condo, feel that it should be included with staying there.

Mahalo for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the extras and had a great stay. We apologize for the tennis court fees - the courts are run by a separate organization, so they do charge for play. We appreciate the feedback and hope to host you again.
This condo is a short walk to Shipwreck Beach and Poipu Beach as well as some great restaurants. The pool was perfect for times when the beach wasn’t in the cards. The unit was well stocked and the property managers were helpful and super responsive.

Mahalo Suchitra for your review. I reviewed your folio and see no requests for any maintenance. I do see you called about moving because of the nearby pool construction and we offered to move you. You chose the discount instead. In any event, we are sorry for any oversight on any maintenance and for any inconvenience that it may have caused you. Aloha.

Excellent location, close to restraunts, beaches and sea wall walk.
We spent 6 weeks in your beautiful condo, it was very well stocked and decorated beautifully. We were very happy with the location, so close to many good restraunts, the beaches, the sea wall walk old Koloa town for groceries and the local farmers market just a few steps away. The weather was great only 2 rainy days. We enjoyed the whales, sea turtles, land tortoise’s and monk seals. The option of having 2 lanai’s, one sunny and one shady was great. Patti is a very attentive owner, any questions or concerns we had which were few she dealt with immediately. We would recommend this condo to anyone visiting Kauai.

Great location & well equipped condo, lots of road noise.
This condo is clean and well located. We loved the 5 min walk (on a path) to the beach. The condo is very well equipped and tastefully decorated.In the down side:The bedroom is very close to a busy road, it was too loud to leave the door or windows open to allow airflow.It is managed by a separate,vacation rental company from VRBO that requires you to sign a different contract and RREQUIRED that I text my driver’s license to them- threatening to cancel my reservation.( I find this a real privacy issue.) The secondary management company was very organized and attentive, contacted us every day we stayed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the condo’s cleanliness, convenient location, tasteful décor, and its proximity to the beach.
We’re sorry to hear that you found the location to be noisy. We truly appreciate your perspective and will take it into consideration.
To clarify, VRBO serves as a marketing platform, but your reservation was managed directly by The Parrish Collection, which owns the listing and required the signed rental agreement as part of our booking process. Since we processed your payment, we also handled these requirements directly. Regarding the ID verification, our policy requires identification for last-minute bookings to ensure a smooth check-in process. While your reservation was made about 10 days before arrival, this policy was outlined during booking, and we regret any inconvenience it may have caused. We appreciate your stay with us and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again.
My wife and I stayed for 5 nights. We were really happy except for one major thing: AC is only in the master bedroom. By midafternoon, the rest of the place was like a sauna. There are many doors, windows, and fans for good air flow, but it still felt like 100 degrees. One day when it rained and never got into the 80's, it was actually quite comfortable all day. All-in-all we enjoyed our stay.

Mahalo Mark for your review and comments. Usually, the trades help keep the temperature down, but some days when the wind slows it may not feel as cool. Please know we do have many units that are fully air-conditioned and our team is happy to help you select the perfect property on your next visit. Looking forward to hosting you again. Aloha.

Great condo for price.
Great location within walking distance to the beach and Brennecke's. The kitchen is well equipped. We stayed for a month in the summer and it was pretty hot. We bought 3 fans (and left them there in the unit) to help keep it bearable. Unfortunately the ice maker did not work and it wasn't fixed during our 28 day stay so we had to purchase ice daily. The owner gave us a $10 credit.

Thank you for staying at kahala #121 last month. Yes, summer can be war in Hawaii. So sorry about the ice maker miscommunication. My repairman was delayed in advising me that the part is discontinued and you had written me that you purchased ice trays so I assumed that ice trays were working OK. I am at the condo this week and the ice maker is working but output is not high volume. The frig is only 5 years old so I hate to send it to the landfill. Thank you for your feedback. Patty

Wonderful condo
Everything about this condo was appealing. It is very attractively furnished and decorated. The cathedral ceiling in the living room/kitchen gave it a very open and airy feeling. The bed was super comfortable. The linens and towels were high quality. There were nice little luxury soaps in abundance. After having to buy soap and even toilet paper at other VRBO properties, I was very impressed by the generosity with which everything was provided here. Patty was very welcoming and ready to help in any way. Oh, and it was great to look out and see the ocean. This condo met my every expectation.

We found the property to well located, clean, and easy access to all your needs, the unit it self is well stocked with gadgets, it does have stairs to access living areas, no AC but in the master so unfortunately it made the third level loft bedroom unusable for sleep, we purchased an air mattress for our stay, with that said we truly enjoyed our stay, with a close proximity to the pool, local bar/grill, and easy path to the ocean, that is a sort walk to the nightly arrival of sea turtles, we did not spend much time on poipu beaches during the day, we did enjoy them for early morning walks when they were less crowded. This unit did as we wished gave us an area to launch from to explore the different parts of the island which also is host to so many different wonderful beaches with their own unique personalities would absolutely recommend this unit to anyone.

Mahalo Amy for your review. While September can be a warm month, we provide standing fans and there are ceiling fans in each room to help cool things down. Additionally, this unit has many side windows, which also let the breezes blow through the unit day and night. We are sorry that it was a little warmer than usual, and we hope to host you again.
The unit is updated and very clean. It has everything we needed, including beach chairs, boogie board, coolers, and a foldable wagon. Master bedroom has AC. Unit has a full kitchen with large fridge and freezer--includes everything you need to cook a full meal. Gas grills are just outside. The balcony is a beautiful place to hang out and listen to the live music next door (not loud, just background music, usually done at 8 pm). The pool just next door and was warm and very clean. Same with the hot tub. One of the best VRBO's we have ever rented. Will definitely be back!
Super comfortable and perfect size for family of 4. Location is amazing. Walking distance to beaches. Is close to street, but did have noise issues at all. Air conditioning in main bedroom was very good. Circular stairway to loft is narrow, so just good to know depending on who is staying here - it was fine for my grown children. Kitchen was fully functional. An outdoor lounge chair and table were damaged, but still usable for the most part. Sounds like they plan to replace it. Management team was responsive and accommodating. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Mahalo Jennifer for your review and comments. We are happy to hear that you had a lovely stay with your family. We cannot wait to host you again soon.
We absolutely loved our stay here. Check in was the easiest and they got us in a little earlier, which isn’t particularly a guarantee, but was a nice surprise. The home was everything the pictures made it out to be and better. The kitchen was SO well stocked. I mean, there’s not one thing missing that you would need to cook any dish, which was such a bonus. Our daughter loved the loft and we all slept so well. The proximity to the pool and beach is great, and sitting out on the Lanai for morning coffee was a highlight as well. Also, anything and everything you need for the beach? They’ve got it. Another perk was that the entire property is very family friendly. Our daughter met a lovely friend who we now keep in touch with! Turtles, turtles, turtles. Magical. Poipu will not disappoint if you desire to see these amazing animals! Front row seat everyday. We visited Maui first, and had an excellent time, but Kauai stole our hearts and when we return, we would absolutely book this property again! Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Exceeded Our Expectations!
Just returned from a 10 night stay at Kahala #121 and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. Being first time VRBO travelers, we were a bit concerned about renting a property using this process. From the start, we were impressed with the level of professionalism from Patti and would highly recommend booking this property.
It was clean, comfortable and perfectly located to beaches, great snorkeling & dive sites, dining and shopping. We cooked many meals and found the kitchen well stocked. The corner unit with the trade winds and no upstairs neighbors was really comfortable. For Kauai fun, we highly recommend Seasport Divers, a trip to the north shore to dive or snorkel Tunnels, snorkel or shore dive at Koloa landing, and day cruise with Capt Andy's crew to see the Napali coast.
We honestly can't wait to return and will definitely rebook our stay with Patti! Mahalo!

thank you for staying at my vacation condo and for the great travel tips for future guests. Appreciate your kind words and review! Mahalo, Patty
This was an amazing condo to stay in! The location was ideal. We could easily walk to Brennecke and Poipu beaches within a couple of minutes. The pool and hot tub were right around the corner and has an outdoor shower to get the sand off. We could see the ocean from our unit and lanai. It worked great to have our 2 kids in the upstairs loft with twin beds and my husband and I loved the spacious bedroom with king sized bed. The area is quiet and clean. The unit is near the road but there was very minimal road noise and it didn’t bother us at all. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils, and cookware. We loved having the washer and dryer! We actually couldn’t imagine a better condo and location. We had a wonderful time. If we are ever fortunate enough to come to Kaua’i again, this is the only place I would want to stay! It was incredible.

Unit is next to the road
This unit was okay, but it has a couple of shortcomings. It's right next to Poipu Road (literally) and the traffic noise can be unpleasant. Also, the lanai has no cover, and the table on it has no umbrella, so you can't avoid the sun after about 10:30am. We didn't use the twin beds in the loft, but some might find the very tight spiral staircase to get to them a nuisance. On the plus side, the unit is right next to the pool, and it covers the basics very well.

Mahalo Eric for your review and feedback. Even though the speed limit on Poipu Road is 25 mph and the island typically quiets down at 9 pm, we understand how hearing the cars could be unpleasant for some. We are sorry if the noise disrupted your stay. For next time, we can help you find a unit set further from the road at Kahala or any of our other properties. Regarding the lanai, we can share your concerns with the owner and discuss adding one. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the pool. We look forward to hosting you again soon.
