The property could use a deep cleaning the cushions on the couch or soiled we encountered a lot of bugs which turned out to be termites. The management company was very accommodating, allowing us to leave the property and did provide a refund. We went to the grand Hyatt hotel.

If you like the sounds of crashing waves and seeing turtles swimming 50 yards off the Lanai this is your place. Great location, and incredible views.

Amazing Location

We saw sea turtles swimming by all day long, one sea lion, and distant whale spouts off our lanai…it was amazing. The condo accommodated 5 adults and two children easily and was a 15 minute walk to Poipu Beach. I would definitely recommend this getaway to families.

Couldn’t have been a better fit for our family!

This condo was the perfect place for our family to stay. It had room for everyone with very comfortable beds. There were seven adults and one child. We cooked most of our meals at the condo. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc. Loved that it was within walking distance to town and beaches. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved this centrally located condo!

Our family of 6 loved this condo! The views from the Lanai were the best - that's where we spent most of our time when we were home! We were walking distance from beaches (we went to Brenneche's or Poipu Beach every day), close to ports to tour the Na Pali Coast, close enough to Waimea Canyon. And tons of restaurants within a 10 minute drive. We would highly recommend!

Beautiful Poipu Condo

This condo was very spacious for our 5 adults. It was well stocked and comfortable. We loved sitting on the lanai watching directly below us the waves crashing on the cliffs and the turtles swimming there. The sound of the sea was fabulous. Nice quiet condo complex.

Beautiful home and views

This home was a wonderful location, with a 3rd floor balcony overlooking a rocky bay where we daily saw sea turtles in the waves and could watch both the sunset and the sunrise given our location on the south of the island. The place was clean and had plenty of room for the 7 of us. A bit of a splurge, but just eating out on the lanai/balcony every meal over the waves was wonderful!

Incredible spot

This rental property did not disappoint. It is on a cliff overlooking the ocean and we saw multiple turtles every day. The waves crashing into the ocean make a great backdrop. The rental property management company is awesome. They sent us restaurant recommendations as well as activity recommendations. All of the restaurant recommendations were spot on. The beds were comfortable, and the towels were really nice. We really couldn’t asked for anything better.

Amazing view, Wonderful Kauai Home Base

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect place for our family of five adults to come back to every day and relax and enjoy the view, which is fantastic, either sitting inside or outside or while fixing a meal. Between us, we probably took 50 photos of the sunsets. The condo itself is first class with lovely artwork and coral pieces around. The Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail, a short distance away, is a nice place to watch sunrises, and it is also possible to walk to several beaches. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous ocean view

Beautiful sunrise and sunset views every day usually accompanied by a rainbow. We could watch the sea turtles in the surf from our balcony. No beach access on site - a short walk down the road. Definitely a different vibe here in Poipu compared to our stay in Hanalei. We didn’t use the pool (it’s small), but walked to Brennekes and Poipu beach parks to snorkel and see the turtles and monk seals on the beach. Poipu beach park has the one calm “kiddie pool” area if you aren’t into the waves. Apartment is well stocked and you will not be wakened by roosters here! From here we visited Waimea canyon and did a snorkel boat tour of the NāPali coast which was amazing. Pods of spinner dolphins followed our catamaran almost like they were performing for us! We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing views and welcome!

As soon as we walked in the door, we were all in awe of the incredible views out the patio! If that wasn't enough, they left us the sweetest welcome package on the table with all kinds of amazing Hawaiian treats! We felt so loved and blessed! Our two older boys loved the loft bedroom where you could look right down into the ocean and hear the waves crashing on the lava rocks all night! The guest bedroom was decorated so adorably I almost wanted to stay in there with my husband. The girls loved that room! Our oldest loved the other loft beds and actually slept on the couch for part of the night to hear the waves crashing down below. We saw countless turtles swimming down below us and lots of dolphins in the distance. You could even see the blow hole from the patio. We ate delicious homemade breakfasts out on the gorgeous patio and easily fit our family of 7 around that table! Thank you for an incredible welcome to the islands and the most gorgeous views ever!

Feelings of Awe

This was a great rental. Lots of space, and excellent views, and great management. This rental was worth all the money. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. There was room enough for 8 people, we had 4 adults and 4 kids. There were beach items, and lots of towels, and plenty of dishes to prepare many different food items. Our favorite part was watching the turtles and the whales and hearing the waves crashing on the rocks below the lanai. The pool is on the small side, but was perfect for our younger kids. We used the grill multiple times during our stay, and all the workers/staff/neighbors were friendly and kind. We had a few appliance issues during the stay, but they got them fixed as soon as they reasonably could. The beaches are a short walk away and the all of us had so much fun snorkeling and swimming. We greatly appreciated our time spent at this condo! Thanks to the owners and management for our wonderful time spent in Kauai!

Very comfortable and great location looking over the water

The condominium was very comfortable. We were only 4 people and could have easily accomodated 2-3 more. We ate most of our meals there and the kitchen had all the equipment we needed. Two minor suggestions: The only supplies in the kitchen were salt and pepper. It would have been nice to have a few basics (sugar, oil, mustard). I know food cant be left out, but in other VRBO's they have been put in the refrigerator. Also, the only dining table is on the outdoor porch, which is delightful. However, the lighting on the porch is very very minimal which makes it a hard to see in the evenings. A better light, or at least candles, would have nice. Otherwise, everything went very well and all communications were perfect. Thank you.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 May 2022
Hello Barbara, Sorry for the late response. I actually just saw your review. I am so glad you enjoyed the condo. We also love it so much. I wish we could leave staples for you in the fridge, it is our understanding from the rental agency that the food must all be disposed of after each rental, as they don't want any chance of contamination. I also wish the lighting outside could be brighter. The outside lighting is controlled by the condo association and so we can't add other fixtures and candles could be a fire hazard. I have found that I do enjoy sitting outside in the dark looking at the reflection of the moon on the ocean waves. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for your feedback, Lindy

Such a beautiful ocean view

Great location and the view off balcony is amazing. Beds were comfortable.The space worked well for 3 couples, even 2 extra twin beds in loft . But there are a lot of stairs! Getting luggage to the room can be a challenge. Anyone with issues climbing stairs rule this one out. The a overall unit needs some repairs. 1 bedroom had a small balcony door that was broken, not closable,hole in bottom we tried to plug . Overall need the deeper cleaning. The carpet in the bedrooms should go. I hope they put a little maintenance into this unit because the view is beautiful you can see the turtles from the balcony which we loved. The pool is a small plunge pool that doesn't stay clean with all the trees around. The beach is beautiful with the turtles coming up daily. But better to drive.
