The condo was amazing. We highly recommend it. It was clean and had everything we needed. The view was amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your little piece of paradise.
Views from Balcony and pool are great. We saw a few turtles from our balcony. Great area to tour other parts of island such as Waimea Canyon and Hanalei Bay both less than 90 mins away. We are AC people and it wasn’t uncomfortable. The bonus of windows open is hearing the waves all night. Mahalo
It was a great place to stay. It got a little warm at time because there wasnt and AC, but there were fans that helped. Not a big deal. Beautiful view, close to the beach, restaurants and shopping.

Excellent location! Amazing views! Perfect for our vacation
Well appointed apartment, had everything we needed, and wonderful position overlooking the ocean. Communication with Parrish was excellent, gave very clear instructions for accessing the unit, plus tons of suggestions for activities, restaurants in the area, etc

Aloha,
Thank you so much for your kind review. We’re glad to hear you found the apartment well appointed, enjoyed the ocean views, and felt well prepared for your stay. Just a quick note for clarity—your communication and local recommendations came from Koloa Kai Vacation Rentals, and we’re happy to hear our team’s guidance made your visit easier and more enjoyable.
Mahalo again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Poipu in the future.
Loved the location and the views from the deck. we saw a pod of dolphins fairly close to shore one day - and at least 2 whales breeching quite far out on our last day.Hearing the sound of the ocean waves at night was so soothing.
Loved the ocean view from the balcony as well as the deck and swimming pool in the common area on the property. The rooms were spacious and clean. Also enjoyed the beach chairs and boogie boards! We liked how close the beaches and local restaurants and shopping were to the property.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poipu Palms. The condo was furnished with everything we needed, including beach chairs, a beach umbrella, and a large cooler. The deck was the perfect place for morning coffee while enjoying the ocean views. Poipu Beach is only minutes away by car, and is also within walking distance…as long as you don’t have too much to carry with you! We made multiple stops at Koloa Fruit Stand and Little Fish Coffee - they are close by and well worth stopping by!
The apartment is spacious enough to be comfortable with another friend or a small family. The ocean is right there and you can hear it the entire time. Kitchen was adequately equipped for basic needs. Furniture in bedrooms is pretty dated. The beds were comfortable. The couch was good for relaxing. Lounge chairs on the lanai were nice. There is equipment for the beach like tommy bahama chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and an old beat up cooler. The location is great for going on walks to Breneke Beach and Poipu Beach. The pool and deck is a nice addition to get some outdoor time while relaxing with a book. Overall happy with our stay and would go back.
The property is older but the location is excellent and they supplied everything you need for a fun beach vacation, boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, cooler. We had a minor problem which they fixed immediately. The dishes, and other kitchen supplies looked new and the kitchen was well stocked with kitchen equipment to make meals. The view from the lanai is so beautiful and it is peaceful to sit on the lanai and watch the ocean. Overall a fantastic place!
This condo is amazing: you can enjoy a magnificent view of the ocean from the lanai and you are a few minutes away from a snorkeling beach (Poipu) and a swimming or boogie board beach (Brennecke). So super view, super location and very clean apartment. What else do you need? A pool? There is one on site that is rarely used as people go to the beach.
Unit is just as described. They literally thought of everything we could have needed. Wonderful location, beautiful views, comfortable & welcoming facility. The communication was top notch. Felt as if we could call for anything we may need. We’re from Michigan & used to cooler nights, so no air conditioning made sleeping a little tough. But we knew up front it was not an option.
My son and I stayed for spring break. We were aware there was no air conditioning which makes for warm nights (the back bedroom gets much cooler at night if you prefer that). No A/C means an increased likelihood of pests such as roaches. We are not scared of bugs. We live in MT and enjoy backpacking, etc. but the amount we had to spray and kill each evening made us eat out much more than we wanted and spend much more money than we intended.

Mahalo for staying with us over spring break and for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you and your son were able to enjoy Kauai and that you made the most of your time exploring — even if it meant more meals out than planned!
We completely understand that traveling without A/C can take some getting used to, especially during warmer months, and you're absolutely right that the back bedroom tends to stay cooler at night. While we do our best to keep the home as bug-free as possible with regular pest control and thorough cleaning, the warm and humid climate of Hawaii can sometimes make it a challenge.
That said, your comments are very helpful, and we’re taking them seriously. We’ve already scheduled an additional pest treatment and will continue to monitor the situation closely. We always want our guests to feel comfortable and relaxed, and we’re sorry that this impacted your stay.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we hope you had some memorable adventures here on the island.
The unit itself needs updating, something the owners need to take care of, but the management firm, Koloa Kai, needs to do a MAJOR fumigation of the unit. Multitudes of cockroaches in the kitchen, both real small to medium-sized roaches. They offered to come & put out roach traps, but that didn't interest us at all because 95% of the roaches were on the counters, and other places in the kitchen. Even the freezer & the silverware drawer were not spared. I USED TO LIVE IN HAWAII AND AM AWARE OF ROACHES BEING THE NORM IF NOT ADDRESSED, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN NO RENTALS IN HAWAII VISITS OVER THE PAST 25 YEARS IN WHICH WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BIG OF A PROBLEM.Also needed: replace chairs on lanai that are falling apart, service both bathrooms' toilets as they run off & on throughout the day and night.This unit needs a more diligent cleaning team as well. Not at all certain where the cleaning deposit is applied but renters such as ourselves aren't getting our money's worth.

Mahalo for your honest feedback. We truly regret that your experience did not meet expectations, and we take your concerns very seriously. Hawaii’s tropical climate can make pest control an ongoing challenge, but we want to assure you that we are actively addressing this issue. We have already scheduled a professional fumigation for the unit to ensure this is fully resolved for future guests.
We also appreciate your input regarding the lanai chairs, bathroom maintenance, and cleaning standards. Your comments have been shared with both our maintenance and housekeeping teams, and we are working on replacing the lanai furniture, servicing the toilets, and improving our cleaning procedures.
Guest satisfaction is our top priority, and we deeply appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much-improved experience in the future.
