About this property
Kainani Villa 5: Luxurious Indoor-Outdoor Living
This dazzling resort-style, garden-level condominium home is, quite simply, perfect—and what better way to enjoy your South Shore stay than in a comfortably luxurious, exquisitely appointed hideaway with spectacular views. Savour sun-splashed mornings on the capacious lanai, painterly sunsets every evening, and refreshing dips in the private plunge pool anytime you like.
Relax in the spa-inspired master bath, with its sleek soaking tub and enchanting outdoor lava-rock-walled shower. Entertain guests in the expansive, casually elegant indoor-outdoor living area, which adjoins a gourmet kitchen fully equipped with glossy Quartzite worktops; custom hardwood cabinetry; stainless-steel Miele appliances; and a lyrical view of the distant, deep-blue sea. (The kitchen also features a cosy counter for quick meals or chef-watching, and there’s a built-in, full-size BBQ setup on the nearby lanai, as well.) Finally, rest up for the next blissful day in one of the airy, attractively furnished bedrooms: One with a king bed and two with Queens, all made up with deluxe, high-end Frette linens.
Everywhere you look, there are pleasant surprises and first-class details. Lush tropical landscaping, including a pretty little lawn; gorgeous sand coloured stone tiles in the master bath; atmospheric ceiling fans; natural finish blinds and sliding doors for privacy or shade; and so many more.
Then there’s the ideal location: close to everything the world-famous Poipu resort area has to offer. It’s a short walk or bike ride—or a quick drive—to the all-day delights of The Shops at Kukui'ula: a super-popular, plantation style shopping centre with an appealing roster of excellent restaurants, captivating stores, local entertainment, and special events, including a lively, must-visit Culinary Market every Wednesday. A few minutes away by car, you’ll find literally dozens of amazing beaches, intriguing sight¬seeing destinations, and more shopping centers, each with its own distinctive ambience.
Just outside The Shops at Kukui'ula is the famous Poipu roundabout or round-about — a magical jumping-off point for all the scenic and cultural wonders of the island. Head west for stunning, relatively deserted beaches; rustic, charming towns like Hanapepe and Kalaheo; vast, majestic Waimea Canyon; and the upcountry charm of Koke'e. Look to the east for notable beaches, harbours, waterfalls, and larger towns such as Lihue—site of the main airport. To the north, of course, there are laid-back hamlets and the almost supernatural beauty of the North Shore, whose iconic beaches and thrilling vistas have been immortalised on film, year after year.
GENERAL FEATURES • Convenient: Close to shops, restaurants, beaches, sightseeing, highway access • Located in sunny, scenic Poipu • Idyllic: An exquisitely designed, fully appointed home in a perfect setting • Luxurious: Every comfort & amenity, for maximum enjoyment • Private plunge pool • Gourmet kitchen w/stainless-steel appliances • Built-in outdoor BBQ • Custom hardwood cabinetry • Quartzite worktops in kitchen & master bath • Central air conditioning • Full-size washing machine & dryer • Spacious: 2,466 square feet of living area (1,923 indoors) • Sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms (1 w/king bed, 2 w/Queens—all with Frette linens) • 3 full baths stocked with Malie sundries • Master bath with soaking tub & outdoor lava-rock-walled shower • Extensive outdoor-living area for relaxation & entertaining • Views: Ocean, sunrises, sunsets, landscape, impeccably manicured golf course • Classy: Part of the uniquely beautiful, eco-conscious Kukui'ula community

The home was in excellent condition, clean, and well-appointed. This is a very comfortable and beautiful place to stay! Access was easy. My only wish is that the check-out time was a little bit later. 10am in quite early, especially when so many flights out are very late in the day.

The house was outstanding, it was clean, pictures were accurate, master bathroom was amazing. We wish the pool had a spa.
My family and I enjoyed our stay in Kauai so much and that was in large part thanks to our beautiful rental! The home was stocked with everything we would need and was both comfortable and beautifully decorated. The views on the lanai were enjoyed every morning over coffee and every evening with a glass of wine. Perfect vacation!

Mahalo for your kind words and five star review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the home and those magical morning rainbows - there's nothing quite like starting the day with coffee and a view like that. It means a lot to hear the experience lived up to your expectations. We're honored you chose to stay with us for your daughter's wedding and family vacation, would love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. The views are even more stunning than the photos show. It was in a great location that felt central to everything we planned during our trip to Kauai.

We really enjoyed this place. Good location. It was very clean and the outside area was terrific. There was some construction next door with some fencing that obstructed part of the view, but it wasn’t bad. We would book this place again.
