Was the perfect place!

We loved our stay and the unit was great! Spacious, clean, a great ocean view with only a 10 min walk to the beach! It came with all of the amentities we needed and more! The property manager was great and the only thing we contacted him/her about was the TV and they fixed it right away! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

Great condo close to Poipu Beach! We were able to see turtles on the beach each evening/morning. Complex has a nice path along the coastal cliff to watch the waves crash and turtles swim by. Would happily stay here again. Thx for sharing the unit with us!

Great location, AC not sufficient

Nice location close to Poipu beach and with a nice balcony overlooking the ocean. We were there in the summer and the AC (two portable units) was undersized. The unit (especially the master) felt warmer than the outside, even with the AC running. I was very warm at night which made it difficult to sleep. They could just have put a couple of floor fans in or an AC in the master, which I see a few other people have already commented on.

Great location to explore Poipu and all of Kauai. Weather great on South Shore. Shipwreck Beach is actually about a 20 minute walk but lovely setting to walk especially in the morning. Sunrise right out your deck doors. Great beaches close. Wonderful time here.

Overall it was a good place to stay!

The host was very nice and accommodating. The location was great and the view of the ocean was wonderful to wake up to. Other than the dishwasher needing to be fixed/replaced (the door is funky and doesn’t like to stay shut), the accommodations were as advertised. The AC works fine in combination with the breeze. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Great View!

Clean property with pretty much everything needed to have a comfortable stay. Absolutely beautiful views of the ocean and close proximity to beaches and shopping. It did get warm and there was not air-conditioning in the master bedroom however the owner/property manager was very attentive and helped her stay to be much more comfortable.

Great Location!

This condo is located in a really ideal location in Poipu. You can easily walk to several different beaches and restaurants. The view from the unit of the ocean is beautiful and the breezes off of the water are perfect and really helpful on hot days. The condo building and unit are a bit dated and could use some upgrades, but it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. They provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and snorkel gear which was wonderful and we used them daily. Overall, this was a great place and we enjoyed our stay!

Cozy stay

We loved our time in the very comfortable space. My family of four (including two teenagers) felt we had all the accommodations we needed. The location is ideal. We were able to walk to Poipu beach, the nearby shopping village and a lovely hiking trail that was past the Grand Hyatt. The kitchen was fully furnished with a large fridge. There were beach chairs and umbrellas in the large walk in closet. It was amazing to see both the sunrise and sunset from this location.

We were very happy with the property

The condo was very nice, clean & comfortable we were just disappointed with the construction going on right outside the window- it obstructed the nice view and was very noisy and dusty which is no fault of the owners. It was a beautiful place to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!!
