Loved being right on the ocean. Opened the windows and slept like a baby every night. Close to several beaches and the two primary shopping and dining areas. The condo was in great shape and the perfect size and layout for a couple to stay. Coffee each morning steps from the ocean was exceptional. The host was super responsive as well. It was an amazing week!

Jack the host was amazing and attentive. The location was close to the major beaches and afforded a great view of the sunset nightly. Miss watching the surfers right out front of the 180 degree ocean view.

We stayed at the Condo for 10 days. It was better than advertised. It was very clean, the views were spectacular, and the condo had some nice updates and all the essentials for a great stay. The communication with the owner was also excellent. The owner checked in with us a couple times during our stay and helped to answer any questions we had and helped solve a minor problem we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again. It was a great home base for our entire trip and we miss it already 🙂. I personally preferred this side of the Island versus the other areas on the Island, we visited most of the island during our stay and were very happy that we decided on this condo and location for our stay. Many restaurants, shopping, beaches, and attractions were also nearby. Can’t wait to go back again someday.

Our host was communicative and available if we needed him. The condo was perfect in every way, and a pleasant surprise was the upgraded kitchen which didn’t show in the photos we viewed. The location was stellar!!

35 ft from the ocean- fabulous sunrises and sunsets. Some great whale watching from the lanai. Well stocked kitchen with really nice pans, coffee maker, and a nice assortment of spices.
Listening to the crashing surf day and night was amazing but sometimes overwhelming!
Cons- no baking or mixing dishes in the kitchen which made cooking some things difficult. The lanai umbrella was broken making it difficult to be outside in the intense sun. There just was no relief from the intense sun. There was a beach umbrella left by a previous guest ( not supplied by owner) but that was broken also. The TV kept going out and needed to be reset. The bed is only a queen. My husband thought it was pretty firm. I thought it was ok but both of us had problems with the sheets. They were the type that retain heat and with the humidity, it made for uncomfortable sleeping.
While there is snorkeling on either side of the condo complex, the waves were so intense and the area so rocky, we found it difficult to snorkel there. We preferred going to Poipou Beach which isn’t far at all. Overall, a very nice location. A nice but slightly dated condo. The owner is fantastic! Great communicator and was very flexible.

Great condo, right next to Ocean and just a few steps away from the Beach House Restaurant. Early morning sun rise & set are beautiful from the patio. Whale sightings from a distance (spouts, etc.) and turtles right next to the shore-line. Jack continued to check on us as well which was very much appreciated. We will want to stay here again!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Amazing views of sunrise, sunset. and turtles surfing the waves right outside the patio door. Comfortable bed, excellent AC and fans, beach chairs/umbrella and towels, and a responsive host made our stay relaxing. Beach and restaurants are in walking distance, some steps away! Rented a car through Turo to explore the island. We’ll be back!

This Unit was absolutely perfect! Jack & his Unit were great and had EVERYTHING one would need while on vacation. Location : ocean front, sunsets view daily, extremely clean, free parking, a/c, walking distance to stores &restaurants. Snorkeling steps away. I recommend & I will be back.

We love Kuhio Shores, especially the ground level condos. This was our first stay at 115 and we were very pleased with the beautiful renovations done (much to our surprise) and the central location of the unit. Jack was very helpful in allowing us to check in a bit early which made everything go so smoothly. We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay at our favorite place. We will be booking 115 again and soon!
Mahalo Jack!

Wow! Just Wow!!! Everyone thing was just as advertised. The only problem, words can’t really describe how good it is. The condo location is perfect. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful beaches close by. Jack answered all questions quickly. There is just no way the stay could have been any better!

This is a great location and beautiful views from this first floor condo. Perfect for my wife and me for her birthday celebration. She just wanted to see whales and we did right from the lanai several times. Also, only a half mile walk to shops and restaurants. We will be back.

Truly can beat the location. Jack was great! We had a wonderful time. One of the e best parts was being able to sit on the couch and watch whales and turtles right out the front door.

We loved our stay at Kuhio Shores. It is our favorite thing to just walk out of the sliding glass door, onto the grass, 10 steps to the ocean. The condo was clean and our communication with Jack and Dorinda was seamless. Will definitely stay again.

So delightful watching sunrises and sunsets from the lanai. The breakers were magnificent and full of surfers (and turtles!). Centrally located for walking or driving to fun shops, restaurants, beaches and the wonderful beauty of Kauai!
Thank you Jack and Dorinda for an unforgettable vacation!
...we'll be back!

Great location, nice size and perfect view. 1 con-- the washer and dryer is locked up in a closet and not available as stated. Bes is comfy but pillows are not. Bring your own. Other than that. amazing place.

We loved being on the first floor so we could walk right out onto the grass and enjoy the sun and surf in the day and sunsets and stars every night. Although they were included in the listing; there was no washer and dryer available but otherwise it was great and well equipped! The kitchen looks new and is very nice. We would definitely rent there again!

The view from our back door was unparalleled. Lots to watch in the ocean. The condo was clean and well equipped. You couldn’t ask for more.

Everything in the listing is accurate but doesn't do the property justice. It was an incredible location and opening the windows at night allowed us to sleep to the sound of the crashing waves upon the shore. It was the best sleep I've had in over a decade.
The property was clean and well appointed. The construction of the building keeps the sounds of the neighbors to a minimum. Although there aren't laundry facilities in the unit, they are on the property and were convenient for the single load we did during our stay.
Jack was fantastic with communicating at the beginning, middle, and end of our stay.
We loved our vacation, and sunny Poipu at Kuhio Shores was the pefect launching point for every excursion we had.
Thank you Jack and Dorinda for allowing us to stay at your property.

Everything you see in the photos, and read in the description and reviews is completely accurate. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. The condo was immaculately clean, literally 10 steps to the lava rock edge of the ocean, and with the windows open, the ocean sounds and breezes make the best sleeping conditions ever. The bed is definitely high quality and very comfortable. All the appliances and items in the kitchen were of excellent quality, too. Any kitchen tool you might need, they have it.
Every morning, I had breakfast on the patio and watched the sea turtles swim around the lava rocks. On our last day, I watched whales from the patio, too! I could see them spouting, caught glimpses of their backs, and caught on video a tail splash. It was amazing! I enjoyed pulling the outdoor lounge chairs to the edge and "beaching" right there.
I can't say enough great things about the condo. Don't look any further... you've found where you need to stay. Thank you so much to Jack and Dorinda for such an incredible place to stay!!

This condo was pure Heaven. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We had it all! The views, the surfers to entertain us and once Jack told us about the turtles we saw them constantly. The condo was clean, inviting and laying on the couch I got the best afternoon nap I have had since forever. The lounge chairs out the back were the best ones compared to the other condos. The kitchen had everything we needed. It is a great location. I just can't say enough about our accommodations. I would never want to go anywhere else. I looked through the guest books and it is obvious others feel as we do, they are repeat visitors. Thank you so much, Jack and Dorinda. We will be back!

We rented this condo for our honeymoon. This condo was absolutely perfect! The view of the ocean was amazing. Waking up every morning to the amazing view was a dream come true! I would highly recommend this property!

We've stayed in multiple condo's over the years both south and north shores of Kauai. Jack and Dorinda's condo is the best south shore stay we've had! The location is perfect! Amazing snorkeling right next door, it was rather extraordinary to swim with the honu (turtles). The condo has everything you will need for a relaxed, comfortable stay. Go to sleep and wake up with the sounds of mama ocean. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you Jack and Dorinda! Much aloha, Katherine and Alaric

Such sweet music to fill the spaces of your days and nights! This place is fabulous! Once you stay here you won't want to stay anywhere else. You will appreciate the amazing oceanfront view from your lanai and the closeness you will feel to the vastness of the oceans ebb right in front of you even though the sandy beach is just a short walk to your right. The snorkeling just steps from your space is the best in the island! From the moment you walk in .. the space starts exceeding your expectation. Jack and Dorinda have thought of everything you could possibly need. From the fully complete beautiful kitchen appliances cookware utensils and dishes to the beach chairs and towels and most comfortable bed we have had the pleasure to sleep in .. you will not be disappointed in the amenities you will find here. You literally just need to bring your swim suit a few changes of clothes and an open heart ready to be filled with "aloha" to enjoy your time here! The condo was spacious beautifully decorated and furnished very clean and well maintained and in great working condition. We can't wait to go back again! Would we definitely recommend a stay in this beautiful space :-)

I'm not sure you can stay closer to the ocean in Poipu than this property. Every day we watched surfers and sea turtles from our patio and gorgeous sunsets every night followed by night sky gazing. There is a nice restaurant and small sand beaches with snorkeling next to the property as well as a shopping area only half a mile away. Jack went above and beyond to make sure our stay was a special one. We were so grateful to have found this place with generous hosts. It led to a truly amazing vacation! Mahalo nui loa!

Thank you both for sharing your home away from home. Your place is just right- cozy, comfy and with all the amenities needed. We so enjoyed sitting in our beach chairs on the grass in front listening and watching the waves, marveling at the sunset and having a delightful glass of wine. Everything is so convenient and we love the low key vibe! What a way to relax! A true get-away! We have already booked next year! Mahalo!

When I first looked at Kuhio Shores I wanted an upper floor unit figuring the view would be better. Was I ever wrong. The view from unit 115 was spectacular. It was great to sit in the living room or on the patio and watch fishermen or surfers. A restaurant called the Beach House is a very short walk away and they advertise their great view. Their great view was the same view as the view from where we were. The sunsets are spectacular ! It was so nice that in 5 days we never had a meal at a restaurant.
The unit is very clean and well equippped. We're already planning on returning next year.

The view from this unit is perfect! Nice location, close to all amenities. Only a couple of things that could improve this rating. Kitchen could use a bit of updating, more utensils, (only one spatula). Additional towels (bathroom) would be nice. Overall a good experience.
