Getting Around:
When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.
Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.

I am handicapped, and found it very easy to get around in. The place is beautifully furnished. The dining table is amazing. If I could have I would have give 6 stars to each question. We highly recommend it!
We enjoyed our stay very much. This unit is very nice and clean, we loved the neighborhood and entire property. The beach is a short walk through property which is landscaped very nicely. We highly recommend staying at this unit.
Property is well maintained/clean.Everything you need they have. So nice to have a beach chair/umbrella. The bed was VERY comfortable. I didn't want to leave
Everything was so lovely and I really appreciated the keyless entry and the ability to communicate with the property managers with little questions about the condo. Would absolutely stay again! Mahalo.

Thank you Laura for your kind words. We truly try to do whatever we can to make our guests visit homie and comfortable and complete. We would love to have you visit us again. And yes, our property managers are the bomb! Mahalo!
The condo was updated, well appointed, clean, and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The location was great. Short walk to Poipu beach, and easy access to shops and restaurants. We appreciated the fact that it was in a peaceful setting and enjoyed the patio and BBQ’s. Pools were very quiet and the access to the Athletic Club was a bonus. Great W/D. The rental staff was amazing and responded quickly to answer our questions. Highly recommend this condo. We will be returning next year! Mahalo

We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. Your compliments are very kind. We look forward to having you stay again in our little bit of paradise soon. Mahalo
Lovely stay at Kahala 412! Unit was clean and offered everything we needed. Cannot beat the location! Super convenient to everything. The only issue I personally had was the bed was a little hard for my taste, but that’s a personal preference. Would definitely recommend!

Mahalo Kelly. We really appreciate you staying with us. We try hard to give guest all that they need. And I think the bed is too hard, but my wife loves it ! We would love to have you back some day
My family stayed here for nearly a week. It was a very enjoyable experience. The place was very clean and comfortable. We greatly appreciated the additional amenities (examples: cooler for the beach, and simple kitchen items like baggies and foil)!
Really nice stay at this property. Great location with a quick walk to Poipu beach, which is the evening resting place for Hawaiian green turtles. Property management was very responsive to a couple of snafus that happened. We enjoyed the unit and amenities (beach chairs, umbrella, and wagon) and would stay there again.
Very satisfying and helpful love it thank you so much mahalo

Mahalo! for visiting our Kauai home and your kind words. We hope you return someday and please let us know if there is anything we can do to enhance our guests' experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation in Poipu! The condo was clean, nicely decorated & well appointed with a lush, tropical view from the lanai. It was central to all of our excursions from exploring the whole island, hiking along the coastline, beach & snorkelling, nearby restaurants & shops. The management team was very responsive & prompt with follow up. We would highly recommend staying here!

Mahalo for your feedback! You have summed up the very reasons we love being there. Please come back and stay with us again!
Property was as expected. Location was great. It was clean and roomy. I was surprised at how comfortable the couch bed was!! Short walking distance to the beach and short driving distance to other places as well. Recommend trying Puka Dogs and Da Crack Mexican Grinds which are both nearby. My son loved using the boogie board and it was nice to have beach chairs and wagon for use. Would definately stay here again!

We really look forward to you visiting us again, Kim! We have special little perks for our repeat friends. Next time also try the food at Java Kai and craft brews, and freshest fish for grilling from the fish market - both in Old Koloa town. Aloha
The condo was easy to find and very clean inside. It was the perfect size for 2 people. The lanai was comfortable and was put to good use. It wasnt too far from the ocean or the pool. If i were a complainer, I'd say the bed was too high! I needed the step stool to get into bed. Lol Would stay there again.
We really enjoyed this property and location. We usually rent houses but couldn’t find one for this trip in our price range so opted for a condo. The location is great and the condo is nice. The only complaint is that we heard the neighbors walking quite loudly above. Not very sound proof floors. Otherwise it was great.

Thank you for staying in our Poipu retreat. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we do. Mahalo.
We loved staying at our Kahala unit! It was perfect for everything we wanted--easy beach access, a nice private outdoor space, full kitchen, convenient spot, and spacious updated condo. The place was nice & clean, the in-unit washer & dryer were very helpful, and there was no street noise (which we were concerned about). The living area was a little warmer than our kids are used to for sleeping (on the pull out couch bed) but the a/c unit in the bedroom and fans helped cool things off so it was fine. Hoping to return again soon!
