Watch the beautiful Pacific Ocean, surfers, dolphins, turtles, and whales (in season) from this very popular top-floor condo! It's no secret as to why this stunning one-bedroom oceanfront condo, just steps away from Lawai Beach, is one of the most popular at Kuhio Shores.

Step inside and watch your loved one’s eyes light up as you are greeted by jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean, perfectly framed by a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. With convenient amenities like a building elevator, a 32” cable flatscreen TV with DVD player, wireless Internet, and an iPod dock for setting the mood, you can kick back and let this romantic escape revitalize your spirit.

Open the windows, cuddle up on the couch, and plan your “Garden Isle” adventures in the spacious living room while ceiling fans and a tropical breeze set you at ease or switch on the A/C to cool you down even more. Cook alongside a sea of blue in the newly updated, open-concept kitchen, complete with granite countertops and an eat-in bar. Enjoy romantic dinners at the dining table while watching surfers catch a wave, or, depending on the season, keep a lookout for Humpback whales while dining alfresco on your private lanai.

A plush bedroom sleeps two in ultimate comfort. After a restorative night’s sleep, wake up to the soothing sound of crashing waves to start off a fun-filled day exploring the island.

Modern amenities make your stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Bluetooth stereos and Smart TVs offer the latest in entertainment, and our electronic charging stations mean your group will never have to fight over outlets. Plus, you'll enjoy easy check-in and added security from our keyless Point Central Lock system.

Amazing views! We spent hours watching the surfers and turtles. Good location with lots of restaurants near by. The king size bed was comfortable and the a/c was needed and appreciated. The kitchen was well enough stocked for the bit of eating we did at home. The bathroom was nicely renovated. On the downside, the living room furniture was a bit worn and most disappointing was the furniture in the lanai where we spent some time. Please add a bar height table to be able to see over the railing and some comfortable chairs!

We loved the location and views from the balcony where we watched the sea turtles play all day in the waves

This unit has a fantastic view and is in a great location. Being on the top floor is great, and the kitchen has most necessities. Some small storage containers would be nice. The lanai furniture is rusty. The large ottoman is definitely broken, as was reviewed previously. I fell hard into the center, as the springs are shot! The response to the other person was that a manager looked at it and it was fine - the manager needs to sit on it. The outdated metal, small, unadjustable sand chairs should be replaced with the more current Tommy Bahamas like almost all other places have, they were very uncomfortable. The lanai screen door is broken, Vacasa knows about this but it won't be fixed until August, which didn't help us during our April stay. The dishwasher was broken, we were informed about this before our arrival. We were compensated for that. There was a lot of contact with Vacasa regarding 3 issues, and I received some calls from them from private numbers. That left us feeling uneasy. Each call included requests to have service people enter if we weren't there, which we agreed to. There was no follow-up contact as to whether they actually came out and fixed anything, except for the nice technician who came out for the AC the 1st morning while we were there.The lack of clear communication from Vacasa, and amongst their employees left us feeling uncomfortable during our stay. We never knew if someone had entered while we were out or not, as nothing had changed.

The location is amazing and conveniently located. When we walked into the unit we could immediately hear the waves crashing. Each morning and evening we enjoyed the views from lanai. The unit was a good size for 2 people, but some of the furniture was “tired” and uncomfortable. It also would have been nice if the bedroom had a small tv for the option to wind down and relax in the bedroom.

Had a good trip and the unit was spacious and clean. Would have like the A/C to work as it got stuffy.

Loved the location and ocean sounds. Biggest complaint, A/C didn’t work & it’s only in the bedroom, not the living area. Your property description said AC, miss representation.

Beautiful ocean view. Saw turtles daily. Comfy bed and 4 large pillows. Condo stocked with everything you need! So great to be able to use the 2 chairs, umbrella and cooler that was in the unit. 1 working elevator. Lots of great restaurants nearby with the beach house restaurant next door and close enough to walk to. Door lock was a pain and didn’t always work/open the first time. We would stay here again.

Well appointed and beautifully located property. Vacasa were so easy to deal with. Sunsets, surfers, turtles, and surf. Magical.

We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy. We were captivated by the view from the lanai, watching the waves of the Pacific crashing on the rocks below or watching the surfers getting their day going. Sitting outside to watch the sunset was a treat. The kitchen had all the things we needed to dine in, and there were plenty of nearby choices for dining out. We really liked the layout of the unit; you could choose to eat at the counter, or from the dining table that looks out its own picture window, or on the lanai. A nice clean and relaxing place. No complaints whatsoever.

This property was absolutely incredible! The check in process was easy and the place was extremely clean when we arrived. The view is stunning. We enjoyed watching the surfers and even saw some turtles! The location couldn’t be better. Lawai beach was a 2 minute walk and was a great place to snorkel. You’re also only minutes away from Poipu. We really appreciated the welcome gifts and the fact that the rental was fully stocked with everything needed. We would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!

We loved the view and the condo was clean. We didn’t love the noise from A/C compressor in the closet every hour all night long.

We loved our stay at Kuhio Shores 416! Location is great. It has its own beach but is also a 5 minute drive from Poipu Beach. Condo was comfortable and had all of the amenities that we needed.

Process was smooth. We needed two nights and this property filled our needs. Good location and on the beach. Enjoyed watching the surfers and wave action against the rocks.

The view and the sound of the surf! The unit was also very thoughtfully provisioned with kitchen utensils and china, cooler, chairs, laundry detergent, etc.

Our vacation at Kuhio Shores was perfect! Waking up to the view from our lanai each morning was breathtaking. We spent time on the many beaches, dined at excellent restaurants, surfed clean waves, snorkeled right next to our condo, spent quality time with our kids and grandkids, explored other parts of the island of Kauai, kayaked the Hanalei River, shopped at the Poipu Farmer’s Market and so much more. We are definitely returning for another nine days!

Absolutely stunning view! The moment you walk in you’ll be in awe of the ocean view. Every morning we sat looking for sea turtles and watching surfers. Super short walk to PK beach for snorkeling (bring your own snorkels) . At night, you can crab dinner at the Beach House right next door. On top of all that, the host is Great - they left us a card and goodies for our anniversary.

This is our 2nd time staying in Kuhio Shores 416. There is nothing like this view and hearing the ocean 24/7. Everything was clean and we never heard any of our neighbors. The bed was very comfy. Love this place!

As soon as you walk in the door your vision is filled we the most beautiful crystal blue water. AC is COLD. We live on island so we turned it off and opened the windows and I can tell you the sound of the waves were all you need. Stocked kitchen with all you need for cooking which I definitely recommend right now because eating out is hard these days. The location was PERFECT. My husband and I came through for a bump in the swell and it was so nice to just wake up and take a look off the lanai at the waves and strike it when the tide was right. It is also very convenient to all the shopping and restaurants. We will be staying here again.

Lovely, quiet, and private location. You can’t beat the sound of waves right outside your door. The accommodations had everything we needed and we really enjoyed our stay! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Wonderful place with amazing views. Clean, cozy, and spacious. Walking distance to ocean for surfing, right next to the Beach House Kauai restaurant, and close to a shaved ice stand. Cute shops and spots to eat a short drive away. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

It was our first visit to Kauai and Kuhio Shores 416 was a perfect spot to call home during our visit. The unit was clean and comfortable, the ocean views and sunsets were incredible, and the location was central to all we wanted to see. Including the rental car in the deal was a great bonus! We would recommend this unit to others and would happily stay here again when we return to Kauai.

This was our 5th time in Kauai but first time at Kuhio Shores and we had a wonderful time! The location was fantastic. You can't get closer to the ocean unless you are in it. Wonderful views. We saw turtles and surfers from our lanai every day and the sound of the waves made the experience of staying in this unit something we will not forget. The furniture was comfortable including the bed (which is extremely important to us). The bathroom was clean and seemed newly updated, which is a plus. If I was to make a recommendation it would be to install floor tiles on the lanai which would elevate the experience of that space even better. Last but not least - thank you GVR for easy communication. We felt we were well taken care of by you and will definitely come back to this unit!!

location was incredible...loved being able to see the turtles in the water and surfers riding the waves. Loved that it was in a not so busy area of the town. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

We celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary during our stay at the property. The trade winds were very effective in cooling the unit...as a result, we never had to use the AC. Beautiful views of the ocean and turtles off the lanai. The property was exactly as advertised, and GVR was very helpful and professional answering any questions we had (prior to making the reservation and during our stay as well).

Priceless view, beautiful space, and located in the best part of Kauai. Could not have asked for a better experience! This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
