We had a great week at this exceptionally immaculate and well stocked condo. There were 4 adults and one 21 month old toddler. Plenty of room for all of us.
We enjoyed the pool and grounds, but Poipu Beach was especially fun for a toddler, and it was just minutes away.
The patio outside our condo was a great place to watch the ocean waves......view was fantastic.

This is one of the nicest properties I have rented. Given location, hosts, etc likely the best rental we have had on vrbo in 15 years.
Location is great. If you snorkel, the reef on the West side of Kiahuna Beach is great, you can walk to Poipu, Lawai or Koloa Landing and jump in there and be inside an aquarium. Kiahuna also has fun surf (shore-pound) for body boarding and swimming. You can rent day beads at the Sheraton. At low tide you can walk across the street and check out incredible tidepools (bring your reef shoes).
Townhouse itself is in a great little community with a pool, BBQs greenbelts, etc.
Rental is stuffed with useful stuff (Beach Towels, Body Wash, Paper products) and we really didnt need much of anything. I bought some Charmin Ultra soft, but i am a TP diva.
The views here are perhaps better than the photos.
The AC works well. Be sure you follow the directions for the climate control system. They werent set correctly when we arrived and the first few days the temps were wildly inconsistent and likely used more energy than was necessary.
Hosts were friendly and helpful at every level.
The only small negatives were community related. We had to move our car due to sealing the parking lot, our next door neighbors had a flood of some kind and they had to check our our place and the hoa had to gain access to spray for bugs (in hawaii this is a good thing trust me).
I would feel really lucky to be able to rent this place in the future.
Thanks!

My wife and I truly enjoyed staying here. This was our first time in Kauai and could not have chosen a better place to stay. Being right next to the ocean was wonderful and having such a short access to beaches around the area was a blessing. This unit was very lovely and provided all the amenities we needed including a nice kitchen for the times we decided to not eat out.
Belle was a great host and provided all the pre arrival information we needed to “move right in” when we arrived. If we ever have the opportunity to visit Kauai again I hope we can rent this place again!!

Our family stayed at this unit for 8 nights and it exceeded our expectations. It was comfortable, very clean, and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The beach chairs, towels and coolers came in very handy, not to mention having a washer and dryer. The ocean view from the patio was outstanding, especially at sunset with the breathtaking views. We were a few minutes from beaches, restaurants, shopping centers and food trucks, which made our stay very convenient. The property manager was very friendly and checked in to make sure everything was going well and provided activity suggestions. We would definitely stay here again!

My family and I stayed for 6 nights at this property and we are so happy we booked here! The owner was amazing from the start and communication was outstanding! The management company was also very much on top of things and responded quickly with questions we had. The property itself was beautiful and had everything we needed! It was super close to the Sheraton beach and we walked there in about 5 minutes! The property had beach towels, chairs, and the kitchen was stocked with all you needed to cook! The property was clean and the bathrooms were fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner and body wash! We had a gorgeous view from this ocean view property and we can’t wait to book again!!! Thank you!!!

This Poipu Kapili 2 bedroom, 3 bath was exactly what we needed! The townhome had everything listed and the Kapili Townhome complex was private & safe & clean & within a short 6 or 7 min walk to the beach in front of the Sheraton (Kiahuna Beach) or a 3 min drive to Poipu Beach. Loads of Restaurants to choose from and shopping malls and grocery stores within minutes. We used Google maps and Yelp to find places and their hours. The host has good recommendations also. The host (Belle) was helpful & pleasant from beginning of reservation to after the stay was over. While we were there we had surfing lessons, did Snuba, saw numerous Monk seals (even had one bump into my 18 yr old grandson while he swam in ocean), saw numerous Sea Turtles at Poipu Beach, played hours of board games and card games, swam in Kapili pool, went Water tubing, and saw Luau Ka Hikina (Highly recommend)! Then after checking out we drove all the way to Pu'u O Kila Lookout (elevation over 5000 ft). What a view! Not to mention the Waimea Canyon State Park on the way up and back. Still had time to shop and eat before going to the airport at 4pm. An unforgettable vacation for my 3 oldest grandkids and us.

Beautiful property in a perfect location with views and sounds of the ocean just outside the living room and main bedroom. Opened up sliding doors whenever we were “home” to hear ocean waves… so relaxing. Apartment was beautifully decorated and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Beach was a short easy walk away. Everyone wished we could stay another week!

The place was as advertised. Clean and comfortable. They had everything you needed to cook.

Overall, we love Poipu Kapili and have stayed there many times. A couple things to note about this unit:
Pros:
Beautiful ocean view. All the locals line up in front of this part of Poipu to watch the sunset, it really is the best around!
Great size for our family (grandparents, couple + one infant).
Well-equipped kitchen, laundry room and lots of towels were appreciated.
Poipu Kapili and their amenities never disappoint - beautiful grounds, pool, tennis courts that are all really well kept.
Location is great for walking to the beach
Cons:
We had a rough initial experience with the property management company where the person we spoke to on the phone couldn't find our reservation and hung up on us. The owner was very apologetic and every other experience with the management company was improved and they were very responsive and kind. Getting packages from them was a breeze (which is very helpful)!
We were disappointed in the A/C, it was set to not go below 74 degrees, when we asked about this, the owner suggested that we open the windows instead (which probably works great with the ocean breeze, but unfortunately we had a newborn and we were trying to keep the windows closed for noise and my husband and mom like to sleep very cold so this was not a good solution for us). Something to note if you like it cold!
The bathrooms and master bedroom have been recently updated (and were beautiful), but the downstairs living area and back bedroom felt pretty dated and dark.

This is a wonderful property in a great location with amazing views! We really loved our stay here! So close to Poipu Beach and people drive from other places on the island to come right in front of our resort to watch the sunset! And we just got to watch it right from our porch! Super responsive host and comfortable beds! Our only (minor) complaint was it got a little bit warm at night because you cannot adjust the thermostat past a certain point due to HOA restrictions. But the owner was super apologetic and tried to give us as many tips and tricks as possible to keep the place cool. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Great location. Spacious, clean and had everything we needed. This was our first time on Kauai, and honestly this was probably the best rental there. It was within walking distance to two little shopping malls. Close to restaurants, and most importantly, a five minute walk to the beach. We saw whales from the lanai, and watched the sunset every night. Truly a fantastic vacation.
Brooke S.
January 2023
Such a beautiful condo, perfectly situated so you can hear the waves from your bedroom and watch the beautiful Kauai sunset each night from the lanai. Perfect location, so close to beaches and shopping. Clean, welcoming and very comfortable beds! Would highly recommend this condo for your next family vacation! Five plus stars.

From the moment I inquired about the property, I knew that booking with Belle would be the right choice and wow, she and the property exceeded all of my expectations! The condo has an incredible layout, comes with everything you need for the beach, cooking, etc and is feet away from the water and pool! The back lanai views are to die for and at night you you have a sunset so great that even the locals line up to watch it. Could not recommend this property more, we will be back! Book this property today if you’re thinking about it!

This condo was better than advertised. It was larger than it appeared in the listing and the ocean front location was great. It was extremely clean and had many amenities of a 4 star hotel including all bathroom products, fresh coffee, beach chairs and towels. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay on the south shore of Kauai!

We have nothing but great things to say. Property is gorgeous with Oceanview out the deck. Kitchen stocked with everything you need to cook. Super clean, and great clear communication at every step including for check-in and check-out. Remodeled bathrooms, comfortable beds, beach chairs and beach towels for use. Great pool within 100 feet and we played pickleball in the courts on the property. Amazing! Loved staying on the South side of the island and this property is within easy walk to Poipu Beach. All in all met and exceeded all our expectations!

The AC were portable units in each bedroom and were so noisy you could not sleep with them on. Thankfully the trade winds were blowing and eventually the house would cool off late at night. The house was stocked well, and we used the kitchen every night. The location is fantastic, snorkeling beaches, surfing beaches, shopping and great walks on the beach. The sunsets get a little rowdy, but they were beautiful. The property management company was not very responsive, and every request was denied. Including turning up the heat on the water, luke warm. The owner called and spoke with my wife and explained the situation with the AC which took some of the sting out of the disappointment. Thanks for letting us stay.

This condo could not have been more perfect for our family of 5. Accommodations had everything we needed, pool and grills got plenty of use and the home was so comfortable. Watching the sunset over the ocean from the stone wall outside the condo was perfect and there were 2 great swimming beaches within walking distance. Mahalo!

Out stay at this condo was wonderful. The views are amazing, the condo is very spacious and clean with a full view of the ocean. The beds are very comfortable and nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the waves. Belle was great to work with. She was very responsive to any questions I had and always available. I highly recommend this condo if you are looking for a perfect location to everything in Poipu. We cannot wait to go back and stay here again.

This was by far the most well stocked short term rental I have stayed in for vacation. Pitchers for drinks, juicers, barbecue tools, shampoo, soap, you name it it was thought of by the hospitable and knowledgeable owner and property manager.
The location is lovely and the condos at Kapili are spacious, thank you owner and property manager! 5 + stars and see you soon!

Loved everything about the property. The unit was very nice. The complex was well maintained. The view from the unit was the best. The beds were comfortable and the breeze at night and the ocean sounds in the master bedroom made sleeping so comfortable. We recommend this unit and plan on staying again next year.

Wonderful views, updated and very nice furniture, and all the small things that made our trip extra special (especially the light-up 'ALOHA' sign in the stairway!). Our large family reserved 4 units at the Kapili and unit 54 was by far the most popular. When we return, we will certainly be looking forward to staying here again! Aloha and a hui'ho!

Our family has rented this condo several times. The only thing we can say is that each time we visit, we love it more and start planning our next trip right away. The owners are wonderful people, the management company is extremely helpful, the condo and property have everything a family could want and location is great for going to the beach, enjoying local restaurants or just sitting on the patio and staring at the ocean right across the street. Highly recommend! Thank you again for sharing your condo with our family!

The property is very nice, can’t beat being right across from the ocean and tide pools. This is our second stay at Poipu Kapili. The pool is warm and there is a nice grass area. The unit was so beautiful, clean and comfortable, looks recently refurbished. You can tell the owners care about their property. We will definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a great week at this property. Everything we needed was thought of, ample beach towels, well equipped kitchen, amazing location.
Belle, the owner was great about communicating with us and the kitchen helped us stay well fed when we were unbolt to get restaurant reservations.
A short walk to the beach for a swim anytime as well as close drive to snorkeling , hiking and Napali coast and Waimea canyon access.
Overall 5 star.
Wish we could have stayed longer.

The property was immaculate and fit my family of five perfectly. It had everything we needed for our one week stay. Beautiful view of the beach from the back patio where we enjoyed having our morning coffee, eating our meals, and watching the waves and amazing sunsets. We definitely plan to book another stay in the future!

What a great vacation. This was my first trip to Kauai and it was amazing. The condo was great. There is a lovely view of the ocean from the front of the condo; so we ate out on the porch for every breakfast and lunch. Several times we got to watch whales or dolphins while we ate!
The unit was nicely appointed with everything we needed. They even had snorkels, beach chairs and beach towels, which I have found most rentals do not. The beds were very comfortable and we found after the first night that we didn’t even need the AC. We used the whole house fan, which kept everything nice and comfortable. I was afraid it would be too loud outside with the windows open, but it was perfect!
Probably my favorite thing about this location is that we could walk almost everywhere we went. We walked to a different restaurant every night for dinner. The food was amazing every where we tried. We were also able to walk to quite a bit of shopping, both essentials and many other treats. We were able to walk to several different beaches, each with something a little different to offer. My favorite was snorkeling and finding a huge sea turtle! The sunset was gorgeous each night and you could watch it from the patio or the rock wall across the street.
I hope we go back to Kauai, and if we do I would definitely like to stay with Belle. Booking was very easy and the location was perfect!

We had a wonderful time at the Poipu Kapili. Our unit was perfect, with such a beautiful view of the water and sunset. I stayed here with my husband, parents, and brother -- two bedrooms upstairs, pull-out couch downstairs, plenty of space for all of us. The communication from the owner and property managers was top-notch, checking in on us to make sure everything was okay, and Belle went out of her way to have an in depth phone conversation with me prior to our arrival to answer some questions I had. The space was immaculate and we would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

Our family made a last minute decision to go back to Kauai after a very soggy stay in Princeville in March 2018. During that vacation we made a day trip to Poipu and were surprised how dry and beautiful it was. My girls asked why we didn't stay here, for which I had no good response, but knew we had to return to Poipu, little did they know we would be back in October. When searching for places, it was clear by the reviews that Poipu Kapili #54 was the pinnacle of vacation rentals. From our initial contact with Belle, to the booking process, to check-in, to a minor issue with a smoker next door (gracefully handled with no issue), to the check out and follow up once we made it home, working with Belle and her management team was effortless and very thoughtful. The location, the grounds, parking spot, pool and vicinity to the beach from the property is 2nd to none. Upscale but practical shopping and restaurants within 2-5 minutes away, downtown Koloa with a small grocery store and the "Worlds Best Avocado Poke" at Koloa Fish Market are really just added bonus to the location of Poipu Kapili #54. All said, I could go on for hours reviewing this location, so I will leave you with this. Life is about creating memories for you and your loved ones, the memories we created while staying at Poipu Kapili #54 has set the bar for Kauai or any other future location around the world. You will not be disappointed...until you get home and realize the waves that put you to sleep every night while staying at #54 can only be heard by booking another trip back...Mahalo!

This is a fabulous condo right across from the ocean. It is beautifully furnished with lovely glasses and table settings. Pots, pans, and cooking utensils were well provisioned. It is a beautifully updated condo. The linens provided were top quality. The washing machine/dryer were larger than most of the ones you find in rentals.
The beach equipment provided was terrific. Location is outstanding.
The best thing about the rental though, is the owner, Belle. She is attentive and available . She has provided property managers who live nearby and are available easily too. This is a huge asset. The two upstairs bedrooms have air conditioning units which cooled the bedrooms well. All the pictures provided on VRBO on "right on".

We just returned from a week vacation with our family (2 college age kids.) This condo was perfect!! It looks even better in person!! It was immaculate, perfect location to tons of activities and restaurants and the beach was great! The condo had everything and was a perfect layout with bedrooms upstairs and living area down. Very high ceilings that make it seem really roomy. The back patio is a perfect viewing spot to great surfers and beautiful sunsets! We ate all meals on the back patio staring at the beach. We hope to make this an annual place to stay for our family. It was wonderful!! This was one of our most enjoyable family vacations ever!! Thank you so much for having us!!

We stayed in this Poipu condo in July and had a wonderful visit to the island and a fun time at the local Fourth of July celebration. The condo is located in a great community with lots to do and the most beautiful beach!! The condo has everything you could ever want to make your vacation an enjoyable one. We used the whole house fan most nights and could keep the house open and pull in the great breeze from the ocean. The bonus is there’s air conditioning for nights that it is humid, which we had a few. Although most of the time we had the doors and windows open so you could hear the waves and feel the cool sea breeze. The house is remarkably equipped. The beds in both bedrooms are extremely comfortable and the linens are exceptional quality. The bathrooms all had full sized soap, shampoo & conditioner. The kitchen had a ‘take some leave some’ spice section and we found many of the spices we wanted and left a few too! There was also an interesting assortment of water shoes, snorkeling gear (even fins), and beach chairs. The owners are so easy to work with and a quick response to answer any questions about the condo or the area. As I mentioned before the condo is total stocked for your enjoyment but if you need something and you cannot find just ask because it’s more than likely already there. The island is expensive. We ate out at some fantastic restaurants – there are so many that are easily within walking distance. But we also saved money by cooking in because the kitchen had everything to make cooking easy. One of our favorite things was that our kids (they aren’t really kids as they are all in high school) could walk to the condo early while we remained on the beach. It is a short walk. Plus my husband and I could relax on the lanai and watch the ocean when they wanted to walk for Shave Ice or Icecream. We did a lot of island exploring and found Poipu to be an easy starting point. Nothing was too far. We spent a day in Hanalei which is worth the visit, though all of the hiking and some of beaches that we wanted to enjoy are not currently available. We also went to Waimea Canyon which was great for hiking. The only bad part was leaving. We already booked for next summer to ease our pain.

Unit 54 was just as advertised - clean, well equipped, spacious and very comfortable for even 5 adults and a 20-month old child. We would return in a heart beat but would like to stay more than 13 nights next time. The owners and property managers are attentive and responded quickly to the few questions that we had.

We had a few VERY MINOR issues and the owner went out of her way to fix them. Owner wants to know when there is the slightest problem.
This is a lovely property with beautiful ocean views. Our son and new daughter-in-law loved the master suite. All of the beds in the condo are very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped.
The beach is a short walk (maybe 1/3 mile?) away. The salt water pool was never crowded. Several times, we were the only people in it.
The owner provides tennis and snorkeling and other sports equipment--a nice perk!
My only complaint is that this unit does not accommodate more than 4 people very well. The condo itself is very roomy. But the sofa sleeper is downstairs, and the bedrooms are both upstairs. There would be plenty of room in the "junior suite" for another bed or futon if the sectional chaise were removed. Also, a couple of extra (folding?) chairs would be useful for outdoor dining when there are more people (there were 5 of us). We didn't like moving a chair from the dining room because the indoor furnishings were all so nice!
