Pure nirvana at the ocean’s edge, this 913 sq ft Superior Ocean Front suite wows with waves crashing against lava rocks just feet beyond your private lanai. Why leave your “home away from home” when you can spot honu swimming in a Hawaiian green sea turtle sanctuary below and whales frolicking offshore in the winter?

Enjoy mai tais and ahi poke at sunset. Then prep fresh mahi mahi in the modern open-style kitchen with granite counter-tops, and stainless steel appliances including a double refrigerator and dishwasher.

You’ll also enjoy floor-to-ceiling sliders allowing gorgeous Pacific vistas to flow into the living area with tasteful tropical décor, washer/dryer, DVD, flat screens, WiFi, ceiling fans and cool tile floors.

An ocean panorama also highlights the master suite with its ultra chic bath featuring a walk-in shower with rain shower-head. Sleeps 4 in 1 King Bed and 2 Twins (that can be converted into 1 King Bed upon request).

Blending homey island living with amazing ocean views and hotel-style amenities, Poipu Shores’ spacious 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom ocean front suites each feature a large private lanai, WiFi, washer/dryer, ceiling fans, flat screens and full kitchen for dining ease.

Poipu Shores is an amazing spot to stay with incredible sunset views, easy walking access to Poipu beaches and restaurants, and a really cool pool built into the shoreline rocks. This unit is nicely updated, beds and furniture are comfortable, and it is equipped with some nice-to-haves like community BBQs, beach chairs, coolers, and cooking pots and pans. My only complaint is that the washing machine was out of order.

Aloha Steve, Mahalo for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay, those sunset views, the walkable location to Poipu’s beaches and restaurants, and the oceanfront pool really do make Poipu Shores a special place. It’s great to hear the unit was comfortable and well-equipped for your visit as well. We appreciate you noting the issue with the washing machine and apologize for the inconvenience during your stay. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and should be receiving the new washer any day now. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again for another stay, hopefully with everything running perfectly next time. Mahalo!

Slice of paradise!

Each winter my husband and I look for a getaway that allows us to slow down, connect, and feel as if we are the only ones in the world. This condo checked all of the boxes!With a perfect location on the third floor and master bedroom boasting a panoramic window facing the surf you feel as if you are sleeping on the beach. All the while in the comfort of a 5 star hotel. The property is clean and well laid out. The kitchen is nicely equipped, making it easy to cook in as often as Timor wish. Bathrooms are generous and well planned. With the property surrounded by both residential and resort property, every one is very respectful of noise levels and privacy. My family absolutely recommends this property for a quiet getaway as a couple or family.

Turtle Paradise with Spectacular View

My husband and I stayed here for 6 days. The view is incredible! That was definitely our favorite part of the property. However, what we didn't realize was with the amazing view and proximity to the water how loud the waves could be at night when we were trying to sleep (we are somewhat light sleepers though). The swimming pool area was great for watching the turtles in the cove below and the sunsets in the evening. We were a little bummed that there wasn't any beach equipment to use and the kitchen wasn't as well stocked as we expected. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was an easy walk to Poipu Beach; where we watched the turtles come onto shore to sleep at night.
