We had a wonderful time at this gorgeous condo! It's a corner unit with an absolutely stunning, expansive view. You can see both mountains and miles of ocean; we even saw whales from the lanai. The condo is large, modern, and has everything you could possibly need. The beds are very comfortable with luxurious linens. The water pressure is great. The condo is a quick walk to Brennecke's and Poipu beaches, and the walk is oceanside and lovely, with tidepools dotting the landscape. There are shops and fantastic restaurants within a five-minute drive. Deb is a great host, and she made us feel very welcome. We are return visitors, and we look forward to returning again!

Great Location!

This condo was perfect for our family of 4 and had a great location walking distance to Poipu beach with many restaurants and shops in the area. It is a very quite complex and was a good home base as we explored the island. Deborah communicated very well to ensure we had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful stay The condo was really close to Poipu Beach. We were able to walk down to the beach from the condo. It was just perfect. Everything was clean. It was very roomy and had all the amenities for playing at the beach and was conveniently located to restaurants and shops in Poipu. Our host was amazing. She communicated with us upon arrival and checked in with us to make sure everything was going good.

Double lucky to have stayed in the perfect rental home in Kauai, the perfect vacation spot! Exactly as described, yet better. To live your dream vacay- stay here. (Referring to the condo, complex, owner/management, and location, views, access to island beauty & activities

This condo is in a great location with beautiful views. We were so thankful to have air conditioning during our stay as it was in the low 90’s. The beds are very comfortable and the property is well stocked for preparing meals though bring your own seasonings as there was just salt and pepper. This property is very clean which is important to me. The flights of stairs were difficult moving our luggage upon arrival and departure but manageable when not carrying heavy items. We were able to park right in front of the condo as very few cars were in the lot during our stay early September which made for a peaceful stay. The only thing I would change is using a keyless entry but that’s a pretty minor adjustment. Deb is a wonderful host who truly cares about the comfort of your stay with fantastic communication. Don’t hesitate to stay here!

Thank you so much, Lori. I appreciate your kind words. Sorry about the AC not yet being fully up to speed when you arrived. It needed to be turned on earlier that morning to be fully cooled off for your arrival in the afternoon. I’d love to host your stay again.

Amazing view & amazing host! Deb was great at communicating and has everything you’d need in the condo. It was so great to not have to worry about packing shampoo or body wash and to have plenty of toilet paper and towels. She had everything labeled and available should you need it! We are a family of 5 so our kids shared the queen and 1 had their own twin bed. The condo was spacious and it was such an amazing view and location. We even enjoyed a short dip in the condo pool after returning from the beach so we could cool off. The property grounds are lovely. I wish we could go back tomorrow!!

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Taubenheim

After many trips to Hawaii since the 80's We made the vacation home dream a reality in 1998. All it took were the views from lanai and we were sold.
We currently live in Seattle with our 3 dachshund children. Living a relatively short distance away means that we can make many trips there for both vacationing and being a hands-on owner. We want our guests to have the same experience we wanted in our many years of renting. Our (human) children were only 10 and 12 when we purchased and they've enjoyed many long stays at Nihi Kai over the years - testament to the fact that Kauai is for children too.
The owners, Deborah & Peter

Why they chose this property

We prefer to stay in the more mature 'Hawaiian feel' properties with large units, mature and lush landscaping and of the Hawaiian Plantation style architecture. Nihi Kai Villas fit this description. The views and the location, ocean view heated pool, and walking distance to beaches and amenities made Nihi Kai Villas 833 our top choice.

What makes this property unique

Full air conditioning, views, location, updated decor, heated pool, private and home-like feel are all benefits offered at 833 Nihi Kai.
We've provided a unique bedding arrangement in the second bedroom making our unit great for 2 adult couples, children of different ages, grandparents or nannies!

Master bedroom: King bed

Second bedroom: 1 Twin bed and......
