Air conditioning worked great! Older unit and met all our needs. Walking distance to Poipu Beach. We walked down for shave ice every day!
There are steps down from parking lot and step up into condo! Although with help, my 93 year old mom made it down steps and up into unit.
She spent most of her morning in sun on lanai off her bedroom and then transitioned to large lanai in afternoon and evening.
Kitchen is well supplied and bathrooms off both bedrooms were nice. Plenty of room for 4.

This property checked all the boxes we were looking for. Great location, spacious, comfortable and easy to access.
Sitting out on the lanai in the evenings and watching the sunset over the ocean was amazing.

Our stay was beautiful, the Condo was clean and the view and surroundings including the pool quite lovely, fabulous really. The fans and windows kept the air comfortable. It was quiet and very well kept. Had a bit of trouble with the shower knob as it was hard to push in and out. This did not interfere with our impression of our stay. Especially the convenience of the parking. We had a wonderful stay.

Fantastic property, just a few minutes walk to the beach. The place was very clean and the AC was appreciated as many places on Kauai still don’t have it. Everything about our unit was as advertised, which made for a very pleasant, trouble free stay. This is one of the better equipped properties in which we have recently stayed. Towels, beach chairs, cooler, golf clubs, and the kitchen had everything we could want and more.
The photos don’t do the unit justice as the bedrooms are very spacious and the lanai for each bedroom is an awesome bonus.
If you choose, you can watch the gorgeous Poipu sunset from your lanai, or stroll down and enjoy it with others who gather at the beach every evening to share the beauty.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this unit to a friend or family member.
Thanks to the hosts for a great stay!

Got off to rocky start but owner was responsive which was gradifying. I shared a few suggestions with him which he seem to appreciate.
The condo grounds were beautiful.
Overall we had a great trip.

Nice lanai with great view, quiet complex, large rooms and bathrooms. Washer and dryer are a plus and a/c is good in bedrooms only. It sits up high so the afternoon sun beats down on the living room and bedroom facing West making it very warm in those areas, and you don’t get much of a cross breeze. I think better, updated window coverings would help.

This condo has an amazing ocean view and an excellent location within the complex. Parking is right at the front door; no steps to climb with groceries, luggage, etc. or lengthy walk to get to your vehicle. Great wireless and tv service. Very good communication with condo owner.

We stayed for Thanksgiving and had a terrific time with our family. The unit was easily walkable to the beach, clean and comfortable, and the check in process was easy.
The listing mentioned A/C but we expected central instead of the units in each of the bedrooms that were loud and not very strong. The unit was pretty warm in the afternoon - particularly in the common areas.
A few other easy upgrades - like a new mattress would move this to a truly awesome stay.
Communication with the host was really easy and convenient.

Overall good location.A few helpful hints might be nights lights could be added ,first aid kit,A/C was kind of week,maybe some ice packs for the coolers to go to beach,no mention of ODORS from the sewer system problems.I believe the directions to get to the location need to be improved.Needs to add take a right Naylo rd.,go to end then take a right to 2nd apartment.Directions on what needs to be done for check out. We followed our previous weeks stay in Maui directions.

our 1st stay in building 8. well kept and supplied condo with all the necessary amenities. the bedroom a/c units are more than enough to add the additional sleeping comfort. single level unit is a plus. definitely on the list for return consideration. thank you

We recently stayed at this property and there are good and not so good things. First the positive. The size of the property is huge. Both bedrooms and living area are large. It was nice that both bedrooms had portable a/c units. The kitchen had all the needed items to prepare a home meal. The view from the property is good and you can see sunsets and the ocean clearly. Also, my son enjoyed the bodyboard provided. Now the not so good. The first hour we were at the condo the guest bathroom toilet clogged. Given that there is a plunger and the toilet is held up by a wooden board one can assume it was not an unusual occurrence. I contacted the property manager as listed in the instructions and received a text the next day saying someone would look at it. Guess what? NO ONE EVER CAME. The toilet was clogged for three days until it finally flushed on it's own. Next, the neighbor who is a full time owner went out of her way to harass my son about putting on sunscreen OUTSIDE on the sidewalk because she didn't like it. She also proceeded to tell us where to walk and what we needed to do and not do. I know that being an owner by an rental can be problematic but it wasn't comfortable trying to make sure you didn't make her mad. In addition there are signs on both lanais saying not to talk to loud or talk on the phone outside. Overall, it wasn't a very inviting place to unwind. The property is dated and although it has the two ac portable unit they never really did the trick. Overall, I would choose a different property to stay at if I were to come to Poipu again.

Nice quiet 2 bedroom condo. Very spacious throughout. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. Lounge area was comfortably furnished. Bedrooms were large and air conditioning units were great and kept both bedrooms cool. The lounge would benefit from an air conditioning unit as it did get very hot in the afternoons. The curtains in the lounge and bedrooms were not proper curtains, more like net curtains just for privacy. However blackout curtains would have helped prevent heat buildup in the lounge and also not allow light through in the bedrooms in the early morning. Bathrooms were functional but the shower controls were very difficult to pull out and would benefit from some lubrication. The provision of shower gel, hand wash, shampoo, and conditioner was a nice touch.
Views from the lanai were lovely and it was great to sit out and enjoy an evening meal watching the sunset.
Disappointed there was no phone. First time we have stayed anywhere in Kauai without a phone. This maybe ok for visitors from the USA but not so good for Europeans or UK citizens as using cell phones is expensive is the US.
Pool area was good but we were surprised the pool had been closed for a day due to cleaning. We understand that such cleaning is necessary. Other visitors had been informed of this by the owners. However we were not informed and did not realise until we tried to go the pool to see there was a sign the pool was closed. We should have been informed as other visitors were.
Communication from the owner prior to arrival was good and responses to questions were received promptly.
Overall a nice stay.

The Pros: Great location - very close to the beach, pool is a short walk away. First floor condo but the sound from the upstairs unit wasn't bad. The unit is well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need. The living room, dining room and patio furniture was comfortable. The TV's worked well. Fast internet speeds. Shower supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. were all well-stocked. We only encounted one cocaroach, a few ants and a centipede in the unit. That is actually pretty good for Hawaii.
The Cons: There are portable a/c units in each room but no a/c in the living room and that is where it gets the hottest. The living room curtains are too thin to block the afternoon heat that shines directly through the patio doors. Adding blackout curtains to the sliding doors would be a game changer or upgrading to a mini-split a/c unit like the adjacent units.
The black stand fan was partially broken. It turned on but did not oscillate or provide sufficient air.
The guest bathroom toilet did not flush properly and needs to be repaired.
The built-in fan and light on above the stove did not work and it actually made it difficult to see while cooking because there is no light directly above the stove area.
Some of the frying pans were still greasy and had to be re-washed before we used them.
The twin beds in the guest room are worn out and very soft. Just a heads up if you're a sleeper who prefers firm mattresses.
Overall a good condo that just needs a few improvements.

The condo was well located near the beach and within a short drive to additional dining and shopping. The unit was clean upon arrival and easy to access. There are a few details to the unit that need some attention but overall it is a great place to stay. The chairs, umbrellas and ice chest came in very handy.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here! It was very spacious, with two bedrooms and two en suite bathrooms, as well as a large living room area. We especially loved watching the sunset from the balcony, where you could see the ocean. The environment was great, just a short walk to Poipu Beach, where we snorkled and even saw Hawaiian monk seals. The umbrellas, beach chairs, and cooler came in handy! Interior could use some updating (bathroom fan sometimes broken, loud toilet) but overall a pleasant stay.

The home was spacious and had all the amenities thoughtfully provided. There are two bedroom air conditioners so that we slept comfortably. It was great to have a kitchen for breakfast and snacks and we grilled burgers one night. The view from the balcony was beautiful and you can see the sunset from there if you don’t want to walk down to “the wall” to see it with the crashing waves. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to get in and out of the unit. All and all a very nice place.

Clean unit. Older style bamboo furnishings. One portable air conditioner is in each bedroom. Many ceiling fans. There are wide stairs from the car to the front door. Pool is about 1/4 mile away downhill. Beach a little farther away. Turtles at beaches during low tide. Surfing nearby. Some condiments left in the kitchen. Lots of kitchen utensils. Suggest Costco with almost mainland prices. Good barbeque at condo.

This was our first stop of our 2 week trip to Hawaii. It was unusually HOT with no trade winds. The place looks pretty much like the pictures, with plenty of places to sleep.
I can see this place being a good spot for families. The walk to the beach is far (in my opinion) especially if you're lugging beach stuff with you. There really isn't a grocery store close by so plan on having a car for sure.
The big thing is the AC unit is a rolling unit that can only air condition the Master bedroom, it's not powerful enough cool down the living quarters. So, if it's a cool time of year I can see there maybe a nice breeze and no need for AC anyway. The kitchen had everything you need to cook. I did feel the place is over priced (for us) and the oldness of it. It was the most expensive (other than the Hanalei Resort) of all the places we stayed (4 total). Only really a good deal if you're going with 2 couples or a bunch of kids, we were only 3 people so we didn't need all the room and we didn't use the kitchen.

Location was great with free parking right in front of the apartment. Don provides lots of helpful information in the booking so you don't have to bother him. He provides beach equipment for you so you don't have to rent or buy, and even the kitchen had every appliance you would need. Don is a great host and we really appreciate him.

Excellent condo in an Excellent location. Everything was as described. There was a discount give because of construction updates at other units on the property, but there was no noise. We had an excellent time. My wife, son and his friend, and myself were all very comfortable. The unit did get quite warm during the day while we were out. But after the sun went down and with the lanai doors open and ceiling fans on the unit cooled right down and was very comfortable for sleeping. The master bed also had ac. Don't let the lack of ac dissuade you from renting. Like I said after the sun went which is like 8-8:30pm, with the trade winds and ceiling fans it was comfortable. Also helped that it is 2nd floor unit near the top of the hill, so nothing is blocking the wind off the ocean. And an awesome ocean view. The unit itself is in excellent shape and clean. The full well equipped kitchen and washer/dryer was also excellent. Very close to the beach. Had very nice somewhat challenging morning runs with the hills in the area, we live in a mostly flat area. Communication was also excellent. All I can say is if you want to stay in south Kauai, this would make a good choice.

We had an amazing time. The condo is nicely decorated and has everything you need to make your stay amazing. Condo was clean and in great sharpe, easily accessible and a great location for reaching any part of the island. Pool facility is spectacular we enjoyed a morning swim each and every day, as well as an evening swim each and every night. Will definitely re book here when we com back and will recommend to anyone who we know is coming to Kaua’i.

The condo was exactly as described in the ad. I stayed for a week with my two teens and niece, and we had a lovely time. The condo was clean, and had coolers, boogie boards, and snorkeling gear for beach use. We could walk easily to the beach and nearby deli, which also had shaved ice. The building was quiet, and a wonderful retreat after playing outside all day. Highly recommended!

Our family of two adults and two teenagers had a nice stay in Don's unit in Nihi Kai (809). Everything was exactly as shown in the description and online video. Nihi Kai was a nice complex with a good pool directly across from the ocean. 809 is perched at the upper end of the complex, so a bit of a steep walk to get to the pool or ocean, whicht wasn't surprising, but does afford nice ocean views from the lanai. We ended up just driving most days to Poipu Beach so we could bring the chairs and other stuff Don has left in the condo for guests to enjoy. While no central air conditioning in the unit, and no trade winds the week we were there, the portable unit in the master bedroom was a nice plus in cooling down at least one room. The unit is a bit dated, but everything works, is nicely stocked, and is as described. The unit is priced to provide value given it's age and location. Great wifi connection as everyone in the family could watch Netflix at the same time without any issues. BBQ is very close at the end of the parking lot, making for easy dinners. Don was always very quick to respond to emails and provided very clear instructions for the unit, and was even accommodating when we asked for a couple of extra hours for a later check out, which we really appreciated. All in all, a nice place to stay and a good value relative to other options. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We were 2 couples sharing this 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. It was plenty big for us. There were 2 great lanais which provided good cross ventilation in the condo. 2 TVs, 1 in the living room and 1 in one of the bedrooms. The condo was very clean, well decorated and well appointed. It was a short walk to a very nice, small beach. We could also walk to Brenneke's beach. And to the restaurant.

Outstanding location, 5 minutes walking distance from beach with ocean view from living room.Complete household setup to cook meals,play cards ,read books,watch movies,go to the beach,hike , walk, or go play golf.Vacation brochures available inside the condo so that you read about the history of the area and decide the kinds of things you can see and do in the area.
Quiet, comfortable,well maintained interior and landscaping outside.A definite tropical paradise getaway.

My husband and I are winding up our 4th yr of staying in this condo and have reserved time in 2018. The condo is well furnished and supplied and is located steps away from parking. The king bed in the master bedroom is very comfortable. We have a gorgeous view of the ocean and mountains. My favorite thing is the large glass topped coffee table in our great room where I work on my 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle each year.
One of the many reasons we love our stays here is the location. We can walk to tennis, several Poipu beach areas, restaurants and a shopping center. I love my morning walks while my husband plays tennis at the Poipu Kai tennis club, joinable for a low monthly fee. I also discovered a free water aerobics class every T,TH,Sat at 9 AM held at the beach in front of the Marriott, a ten minute walk away.
We always stop at Costco and Safeway on the way from the airport to the condo. The fish at Costco is the freshest! We stock up on that as well as chicken and steaks and other basics we know we'll use. The outdoor grills are new and never busy.
We highly recommend this condo!
February 2012
A fantastic view from the lanai only adds to the graciousness of this condo. We had everything we needed including scuba gear, beach chairs and a cooler. The place was clean and comfortable, just a short and pleasant walk through the gardens to get to the beach. Perfect - I can't wait for my next visit.
