We stayed in Michael's condo for our honeymoon trip. Every little detail is considered in this condo. Light switches are labeled and the guest book is full of excellent detail as well. Location could not be better. We were within 3 minutes of anything we needed. We sat on the wall across from the condo every morning and watched the sea turtles play in the surf, layed around by the salt water pool in the shade (which was plentiful), walked to the Luau at the Sheraton resort and just had the most wonderful time. Michael was fast to respond, friendly to talk to and gave us late check out on short notice for a very reasonable rate since our flight wasn't until 9:00pm and our day plans got cancelled. 10/10 experience and we will likely be back!

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and we were extremely satisfied with our stay. The place was spacious, clean and very well air conditioned. The pool was great too, just in the backyard. The ocean is a 5 minute walk from the condo and it’s in a great central location with a lot of restaurants and shopping in walking distance. We walked to dinner every night during our stay. The bed was also very comfortable. I’d stay here again!

Great first floor condo with view of the ocean and next to pool! Owner's meticulous descriptions of how to use all the appliances from the dryer to AC were much appreciated. We communicated that we observed a small water leak in the kitchen to the owner shortly after arrival. He offered to have a vendor address during our stay if we preferred, but we agreed it was not necessary and we continued to monitor during the remainder of the stay. Being the gracious host, Michael offered a late check out without any additional charge. Much appreciated since we had a late flight out that evening.
We have stayed in the Poipu area several times and would rate this experience as one of our best. The location is within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shopping, and even a golf course. The relatively small number of condos on the property as advertised made for a very quiet and relaxing trip. And no roosters at dawn! The condo was very comfortable with premium interior.
We would certainly recommend this property to others and strongly consider booking Michael's property again on a return trip to Kauai.

Michael and Gina have done an excellent job of making their Kauai condo comfortable and convenient. We look forward to our next stay. 😊

The condo was very clean with an extremely well equiped kitchen. The grounds and pool area were lovely. The only issue we had ( which really was not a problem for us ) was, being Australians we could not access any of the steaming services so could not watch any movies in the evenings. Having said that, it really was relaxing to sit and read in the comfortable living area, so did not miss the TV.

Absolutely loved this condo! Comfy bed, super clean, everything was provided, and check-in was easy. The VRBO is very quiet, no street noise. We opted for a helicopter tour, atv, mountain tubing, and biked/hiked Waimea Canyon. This location was perfect. Plenty of restaurants nearby to walk to. Would definitely recommend!!

My husband & I were blown away by this condo! The owners have thought of absolutely everything, were amazing to communicate with, and the unit/grounds were immaculate. We loved being so close to the beach & restaurants, but away from the more crowded/noisy resorts. Sitting on the patio at sunset/in the morning was awesome, and being able to cool off in the pool at the end of the day was such a treat! It was also fun to read their guest book & see what others loved about their stay. We were NOT ready to leave! Thank you Mike & Gina!

We travel to Hawaii often, sometimes twice a year. Maui has always been our island of choice but we decided to make the trip to Kauai this time to explore another island that we have been told we must visit.
We absolutely loved our stay and our condo was exceptional. We wanted for nothing and Michael’s communication was excellent. We loved the assigned parking spot, the AC was a bonus and 2 bathrooms made getting ready for the day twice as fast. There were several days we were the only ones in the pool for hours at a time. We loved all the local restaurants and small coffee spots. The turtles at sunset at Poipu Beach were amazing! I’m not sure our trip and travels around the island could have been better. Only we thing dint make happen was the helicopter tour, but there always next time, right? Thank you so much Michael and Gina for sharing your home with us.

This condo was absolutely perfect for us. It is centrally located and the grounds are well kept and beautiful. The condo is very well appointed, comfortable and extremely clean. Everything we needed was there plus more. We completely enjoyed our Kauai vacation in this gem of a place. Mike was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful condo in Poipu. The location and views are great! A few steps outside the door and your at the pool for a swim or on the sea wall watching the sunset. The condo inside is spacious, comfortable, clean, and includes a washer/drier since we travel light. Communication with Mike was excellent too. Everything you need for a great vacation!

We walked in to Hawaiian music playing lightly and the fans and air conditioner on. Such a welcoming experience! The unit is beautifully maintained and spacious and located to see the ocean from the patio while dining outside. There was also plenty of extra's (coffee filters, laundry detergent, etc) so we did not have to purchase those. Love the sliding Hawaiian Shutter doors for privacy at night. It was a perfect place to stay!

This was our second stay at this property and we have already booked it again for next year. Beautifully updated unit with great view, easy pool access and all amenities we needed. Great communication with Michael who answered all questions immediately. Appreciate that all the light switches are labeled and instructions for all appliances are clear. Also, great Poipu location and ocean walking path across the street. Thank you for a great and relaxing stay.

I can’t say enough good things. Our family, including two boys ages 7 and 9, stayed here — our first visit to Kauai. We loved Poipu, the Poipu Kapili resort, and this unit. Poipu/Koloa has a small-town, low key vibe which we really enjoyed after the hustle and bustle and Oahu. This resort has incredible ocean views while being just a short walk to the beach and the resorts if you want. We loved that we could go get a cocktail at the Sheraton and then come let the kids play in our uncrowded pool. Sunsets on the wall across the street with a mix of locals and tourists is a memory we will hold on to forever. We loved the ground floor unit so they could just run out there without going down stairs. The unit was so clean and nicely updated — the perfect amount of space for us. The Murphy beds for the kids worked so nicely and did not feel in the way even during the day. We loved keeping the A/C off and letting the tradewinds flow through the unit with the fans on — it was really hot most of the days but inside it felt great. I appreciated that the owners provided so many basics like toilet paper, paper towels, detergents, and even a coffee starter and travel size shampoo/conditioner. Many VRBOs we have stayed at don't do this, so it was a differentiator. Michael was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to any questions. We definitely hope to come back to Kauai many more times and would stay here again if available!

Poipu Kapili #39 was the perfect place for us. Location, comfort and cleanliness were all top notch. The attention to detail and the fully stocked kitchen supplies were a nice touch. Communication with the host was easy and check-in was a breeze. The owners really love their place in paradise and it shows. Can’t wait to return!

My wife and I spent eight great days in this beautiful condo on our second trip to Kauai. This one truly is better in person than depicted on the website. The pictures are great but it’s even better in reality. It’s merely 15 steps to the pool from the patio…and another 40 steps to the ocean! The condo is clean, well-stocked and very well maintained. The condo is in a great location…close to beaches, restaurants, and activities. Michael (the owner) was very friendly, helpful and responsive. We would highly recommend this residence.

We spent 6 nights here and enjoyed it thoroughly. Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable furnishings, great entertainment system with a location just across the street from the ocean (beach is a little walk away). Pool is just outside the door. Highly recommend this place.

This property was fabulous. Great location, very well stocked, and well maintained. Michael was very helpful and accessible when we had questions.

My husband and twin 17 year old boys and I loved this place and maximized the location. Mike was very helpful in suggesting restaurants, & shopping. The condo is actually bigger than it appeared in the pictures. The Murphy beds are a great idea and space saver. We recommend this VRBO rental and hope to be back!! Thank you!!!

Mike’s condo in Poipu was in an idillic setting. The grounds of Poipu Kapili are pristine and so well kept. The view of the ocean over the beautiful lawn and palm trees makes you feel at peace the moment you arrive. Mike was very thoughtful in all of his preparations of the condo and we had everything we could need during our stay. We had one minor hiccup with internet which Mike fixed within an hour of being notified. Very responsive! I would recommend Mike’s listing to anyone… in fact I have already recommended it to my parents! Thank you Mike for sharing your piece of paradise with us. -Sarah and Mack

We really enjoyed our time at this condo. It is very spacious for a 1 bedroom and the additional Murphy Beds provide adequate sleeping for 4 adults - having 2 full bathrooms was a great bonus too!
There is easy access to the pool and the complex is very quiet. We found the other patrons of this property to be very nice too.

Unit 39 and its owners were a pleasure. The size of the overall condo complex was perfect and felt more intimate than larger nearby properties. The pool and overall grounds were clean and lovely, too. My family and I would definitely stay here again!

Our stay in this condo couldn’t have been better. So very comfortable with electric reclining sofas, great fans and air conditioning in the bedroom. Labels on light switches and clear instructions on appliances and TVs. The owner was easily available for questions and advice. Ground floor walk out to pool and beach was very convenient. This condo will not disappoint.

My wife and I love the location and the condo is very nice. We were there in August and it was very warm in the afternoons. We didn't spend much time in the condo during the day.
Air conditioning in the master bedroom was needed at night. The two Murphy beds would have been unusable at night. It was too hot outside to use the kitchen/living room in the evening. Breezes helped, but you had to choose between air conditioning in bedroom or breezes through the condo.
A screen door on the condo would mean you could air condition bedroom and get breezes through the condo but you have to decide when to lock doors and then it was too hot to have anyone sleep in the living room area.
To summarize, it is a great place to use as a base for 2 people only during August. We loved our stay!

We spent 19 wonderful days during a late August to mid-September visit to the south beach of Kauai in this delightful condo. It is beautifully and functionally furnished, stocked with housewares for cooking, loaded with helpful beach accessories, and the location is incredible - both within the complex as well as within walking distance to many amenities including beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The door to the lanai opens directly on the meticulous grounds of a gorgeous pool. We enjoyed the wonderful view of the Pacific ocean every morning as we breakfasted outside - and when inside, we could still enjoy the view from the sofa! A daily highlight was watching the sun set every evening from the green space - truly breathtaking!
Mike and Gina have put much thought into many details including a notebook with “things to know” about Kauai, excursions, restaurants, shopping, and events. They’ve taken the time to label light switches and print signage with instructions for various electronics and appliances - all helpful. During the daytime hours we took advantage of the trade winds that blew through the screened and louvered doors at both ends of the unit. At night, the air-conditioning was a nice bonus as well as a comfortable king-sized bed. The bathrooms were spacious and spa-like - we were happy to have two of them! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in #39 and highly recommend Mike and Gina as excellent hosts!

A lovely experience overall. The home itself is so well done and nicely maintained with all the amenities. The detailed instructions and labeling by the host made everything even easier. Kids loved simply walking out of the living room to the pool and we loved sitting out on the porch and enjoying the view.
We had an awesome stay! Thanks.

We enjoyed our stay in Poipu. The condo is nice and the grass area between the condos and the street before the beach is beautiful.
We went in July so it was hot and the owners are correct the ac unit in the bedroom only cools that room. The foldout extra beds are nice but was hot on the hottest days.
There’s no beach across the street just rocks but it’s an easy walk to the Sheraton beach or drive to all of the other poipu beaches.
Overall we really enjoyed it and the rental is a nice value.

This was an unbelievable stay at a great location. The condo was exceptionally clean and spacious, perfectly accommodating for the 4 of us, and all updated beautifully. The pictures that are provided do not even do justice to the awesome views of the ocean right from the patio (where we ate almost all of our meals!). Michael was a great host, easily reachable if needed.
The location couldn't be better for us, with multiple diverse beaches within walking distance and even more within just a short drive. Also many options for shopping and eating very close by. We LOVED our stay here!

My family of four stayed here for three nights. Things we loved:
Two single beds for the kids
Ground floor unit with close parking and a foot wash
Labels on the light switches
Stocked kitchen
Opening the front and back doors to get a wonderful cross breeze through the whole unit
A/C in the master bedroom
Unbeatable view from the couch
Access to the pool
We walked to the beach behind the Sheraton for surf lessons and boogie boarding
Next time we'll stay longer, we enjoyed it so much!

What a wonderful experience! From the moment we booked until the last day everything was flawless. Communication was great. The place was SUPER a clean and well stocked with quality amenities. We had family members in 4 other units on the property and this unit was by far the best stocked. The mattresses were very comfortable too. The location is ideal and close to the beach and two shopping centers. I highly recommend this place!

This unit is a high quality, top shelf rental that feels and looks like new. The bedroom is spacious and the bed very comfortable. Both bathrooms are like new, clean and have showers that worked great. The kitchen is very well equipped and has all we needed to prepare most of our meals at home. The property has four outdoor grills available, two charcoal and two gas. We used the gas one which was clean, large and very efficient. The living area is comfortable with new furniture and recliners. While there is an a/c unit in the bedroom, we never used it because the trade winds run through the unit from the direction of the bedroom and keep the whole unit very cool all day. We were very happy with our stay and easily recommend it to others.

From the very first interaction, Mike was incredibly responsive and flexible when we inquired about this property. And in short order we had our stay reserved! Having stayed in other units on a few previous stays, we knew we’d love the property itself and the location is just perfect, however we now have a new favorite condo here! Pulled right up and parked directly in front of the door in the reserved parking space, walked in and WOW! Gorgeous ocean, pool and garden views from the living room (loved the electric recliners!). It was spotlessly clean, beautifully, comfortably and thoughtfully updated, with EVERYTHING you could possibly need!! We had plenty of starter toiletries, even plenty of TP!😉We made great use of the beach chairs and cooler for our daily adventures and Mike was so thoughtful with providing tips and recommendations, making sure we had everything we needed for our trip. As our final days approached, Mike reached out offering to extend our stay and we couldn’t help ourselves to stay for another 5 days! Thank you! We wanted to just stay forever- but sadly we had to return home. But we did feeling relaxed and energized and no longer “crunchy” from burn out. Thank you for sharing your beautiful island home and spirit with us- we will be back!! Tomorrow too soon?? Mahalo! 😎🌈🌴

When we first arrived, the place smelled really bad. Very musty. We either got use to the smell by the 3rd day, or all the fans finally got the smell out.
There were no shampoo or body wash for us, so we had to buy them at the local store. Not very convenient.
The water here tasted funny, not sure if it is Kauai or this property. We drank still water at restaurants and that was fine so this leads me to believe it was the property.
Also, the twin beds are murphy beds in the living room. So anyone sleeping on them will not have any privacy. Be mindful of that.
I checked other resorts nearby while I was here, and plan on staying there bc the property looks nicer for the same value.
Finally, there was a couple noise out on the street that woke me up.

Very impressed with this updated large unit. It was supplied better than any other we've stayed in. And, all the beach toys anyone would want available. It has an ocean view and we spent every early morning on the lanai for coffee.
Called Michael about 3 hours before scheduled check-in. He was prompt to return our call and we were allowed access to unit early much to our appreciation.
This unit overlooks the pool which is only about 50 feet away. The pool was closed during our stay for maintenance but was scheduled to open soon.
