We received detailed check-in instructions from the owner a few days before arrival. Parking was not an issue, though it was difficult to see the front door keypad in the dark entry corridor. The condo is next door to a snorkeling beach and is conveniently located near Kukui'ula and Koloa retail and restaurants. Everything we needed, linens, appliances, dishware, cleaning supplies were provided. We only had to bring soap and shampoo with our toothbrushes. We did not have to use the onsite laundry facilities during our 4 night stay. The ground floor unit sits directly on the shorefront with waves just outside the lanai. Watching the green sea turtles feed along the rocks just beyond the lanai each day was our favorite pastime.
The living room and bedroom are very spacious, but the bathroom is a bit cramped and could use a fan for better ventilation. The decor is fairly dated, so although it appears to be thoroughly cleaned before each stay, the fixtures, furnishings and appliances look worn. If style doesn't matter and convenience and comfort are most important, then we would definitely recommend this condo.

The condo was very well equipped with recreational items as well as a full kitchen with every piece of cooking equipment that anyone would ever imagine or need. The location of the complex is very convenient—close to beaches, restaurants, and shopping. The unit is on the ground (first) floor; it couldn’t be closer to the ocean—no more than 40’ or so. We only wish that we could take the sounds of the surf home with us to the mainland! Highly recommend!

Our stay at Kuhio Shores was awesome! Waking up every morning to the sights and sounds of the ocean just steps outside of the condo was fantastic! We moved our chairs out on the grass a few feet for a nightly sunset. The water just outside the rocks is a feeding area for sea turtles, so every day was a day to see them swimming. The condo was well-stocked with everything we needed. The AC and fans helped cool things when needed, and the location in Poipu was minutes from, beaches, shopping and restaurants. Thanks for a perfect stay in Kauai!

The place is beautiful, well-maintained, well stocked with everything you might need. We especially enjoyed that beach chairs and umbrella were provided. Such a nice touch. We didn't even need to use the air conditioner in the main room because the ocean breeze and fans in the unit were more than adequate. We did use the a/c in the bedroom to sleep and it was ice cold. It's legitimately one of the best ocean views of anywhere we've stayed. It was fun to watch the surfers out there all the time. Turtles were constantly present. We also saw dolphins out there swimming and jumping right from the condo. The owner was always super responsive and great to work with. We'd absolutely stay here again. Great experience.

There is no need to look at any other property. The views are absolutely incredible. We called it "Turtle TV" because at any given moment, you'd be watching 3-5 turtles in the surf right off the patio. We watched surfers, outrigger races and rainbows. It's perfectly outfitted with all you could need. Boogie board, cooler, beach chairs and towels, kitchen equipment—you name it. Plus Laura is a gem--communicated quickly, answered all questions and was such a delight. We loved having dinner right on the lawn on the edge of the small drop off to the ocean, using the chairs and end tables on the patio. Sunrises and sunsets were amazing. And you can't beat the location. Minutes from everything—including shopping, groceries, fantastic coastal hikes, live music, etc. We will definitely come again! You will no regrets staying here. Granted, other units may have granite countertops or updated bathrooms, but we were so comfortable. The bed is super comfortable with soft sheets. There's great A/C, really good water pressure in the shower, soft, fluffy towels. The way the patios are situated, you have privacy. You can't see the patios on either side of you at all. It's a quiet complex and everyone is just so happy to be there. Parking is easy, always a space for you. And this unit is close to the laundry room, outdoor shower—perfect location. We can't wait to go back to this little piece of paradise. You can book it with confidence (just not on the weeks we want it!) Mahalo, Laura!

We spent a few nights of our honeymoon here and it was incredible! Walk out to the waves hitting the shoreline, great restaurant right around the corner, the perfect location to explore the whole island from. We really enjoyed our time on Kauai!

Great condo with a fabulous view. Traveled with my 90 year old father and he just wanted to sit and watch the ocean- this was perfect right down to the overstuffed recliner! Well equipped kitchen although cutting knives could use being sharpened. Great location and close to many activities and shopping. Check in was smooth.

Everything was perfect…condo was well equipped, and we loved the oceanfront location with the amazing views. We enjoyed watching the sea turtles and surfers. The Beach House restaurant next door was excellent. We hope to stay again on a return trip to Kauai

This condo is situated in a quieter area of Poipu, which is just what we were looking for. It is a ground level with a patio that you can sit at and watch the sunrise/sunsets or walk the 15 feet to the ocean to see turtles or seals. The unit has everything you need and the facility staff were very friendly. You can walk for miles along the seaside in either direction and there is groceries, foodcarts and restaurants nearby. There are some small sandy beach areas within walking distance but you have to drive to the bigger ones. All in all, a great stay, everything we were hoping for and a helpful host!

So nice to be right on the ocean, hear the crashing waves, watch sunrises and sunsets and have a snorkeling beach right next door! Kitchen was simple, but adequate for basic meals. Bathroom layout was a little cramped. Bed and furniture comfortable. Roosters and birds like to hang out on front lawn. Thanks for the stay.

Loved EVERYTHING about this condo! Beautiful view with ocean crashing and extremely well “equipped “ with anything you could need…except wash clothes. Communication with Laura was easy and fast. We actually got married on the lawn (small group of 6) but “neighbors” to the left, right and above us all joined in and congratulated us! One minute walk (if that) to the beach house. Loved the location and will definitely return! Mahalo!

Laura's home exceeded out expectations. The views from her house hit you right away as you walk in, there is seriously nothing like it. The house was clean, and she had beach chairs and an umbrella which came in handy. The house was stocked with essentials.
Laura was quick to respond to anything, and we were really happy. The location is absolutely perfect. Right next to beaches, and the infamous "Beach House Restaurant"
We're so thrilled, and hope to be back soon. Thanks, Laura!

Nice scenic location, super close to the water. Unit was equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Parking some nights was difficult as construction project took up a number of available spaces. Also it is a condo so you do hear your neighbors.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The turtles were surfing in the waves right out front! (in early June). It was a great location to things to do/see on the South Shore, and surprisingly quiet. BUT the water being just a few feet away was the highlight. Would have settled for a hammock with that view and the sound of the waves. Haha. It had all the extras we needed (chairs, cooler, etc.). Having a kitchen was really great. Comfortable bed. Restaurant next door was good. Parking was never an issue and we came/went at all hours. Would stay again.

The check in was a snap and we loved not having a key to deal with. The condo was in perfect condition - very clean and extremely well stocked with dishes, glasses, etc. We loved being right on the water's edge only steps from the beach. Our only complaint was that this was not a sandy beach but rather it was rocky with difficult accessibility.The condo is located in a very nice neighborhood and you can easily walk to a nearby shopping center with plenty of dining and shopping options. There is a farmers market there on Wednesday afternoons. We missed it both weeks we were there but we did enjoy local fruit from roadside stands and banana bread baked daily. The island is small so we were able to see and do everything during our 2 week stay without stress. The sunsets are spectacular but you have to leave the condo and walk outside to see them. We did see turtles in the water but none on the beach. That was disappointing. We used the grill to cook steaks one night. They are community grills but very nice and they were clean. Also used the community laundry - one per floor. Small but adequate. Overall, a great stay and less than 30 minutes from the airport.

It's a nice quiet place with lots of stuff nearby. Tons of sea turtles every day can be seen swimming in the ocean right outside your door. Baby Beach is right next door for great swimming and snorkeling. Place was clean and had all the things needed to cook at home. Beach chairs were appreciated!

The sound of the surf lulled us to sleep and surfers were out in the water daily to watch from our lanai. The unit is very comfortable and well equipped and convenient to shopping and restaurants.

The location is great, walking distance to markets, restaurants, beaches. Walk a few steps outside onto the grass and see sunrise and sunset views. Can see dolphins jumping and whales breaching from the lanai (they had binoculars but we always bring our own). The unit is just as advertised, a bit dated but had everything we needed for a 12 night stay (and was dramatically less expensive than the updated units). Perfect for 2 or 3 people. The a/c went out about night 9 and could not be repaired until after we left but we slept fairly well anyway and the host Laura offered us a small credit for the inconvenience - she was very responsive and easy to work with. I would stay in this unit again, you just can't beat the location and value.

The location of Kuhio Shores is ideal for both beautiful sunrises and sunsets, which were spectacular! It is also steps away from the beach and Boss Frogs for water sport rentals, and the Beach House, for excellent food, and Riptides for shave ice and snacks.

Great vacation listening to the waves and watching the ocean just a few steps from the room. Everything needed was provided by the owner. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
August 2022
My wife and I absolutely loved this condo. It’s perfectly situated on the coastline of the south shore. You simply step out onto the back patio and you have an amazing view of the huge waves crashing against the rocks. We hung out on the patio most nights and watched sea turtles surfing the wave currents and surfers. The condo was clean and had everything we needed as well. Great place!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Laura’s property.
We stayed 4 nights here on a quick getaway from LA. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a/c and parking.
In addition, the location was absolutely amazing. The unit faces the water which is a 5 min walk to amazing snorkeling, surfing, and beach areas. Not to mention right next door to beach house restaurant.
I would definitely stay again! Thank you for the great stay Laura!

We were hesitant to book a ground floor unit, but the walls here were thick and we heard no noise from other condos. Being on the ground floor was far better than being above because you could walk right to the ocean and had the best view of the MASSIVE amounts of sea turtles. Kitchen was well appointed, I have spine issues and found the bed to be comfortable, and we loved all of our stay. We spent most of the time on the patio watching the turtles, rainbows, and sunsets. Went snorkeling at Lawai beach (be sure to check tide tables for low tide- it got a bit messy out there). Sure, the condo could use an update and a true DEEP clean- but we would stay here again for the same price no hesitation.

Laura was the perfect host, quick to respond and answer any questions we had. The unit was very nice and well equipped. The furniture and beds were well maintained and comfortable. We've stayed at Kuhio Shores a couple of times and the complex has always been well maintained and clean. The views here are some of the best on the South shore. 10 steps from the ground floor lanai and your standing in front of the ocean. Lots of sea turtles, surfers and gorgeous sunsets every day. Can't wait to return, we would stay in this unit again without hesitation.

We saw the photos but were still shocked by how close this condo is to the ocean. The view is beautiful. The location is also great and close to a lot of the places we visited. Would definitely stay there again if we came back to Kauai!
February 2022
Truly a 'heavenly place'. Loved our stay right next to the water. The sunsets, waves, turtles, surfers - all right out the sliding door. Lawai Beach for snorkling is right next door - it meant alot to not drive to a beach each time. The air movement through the screened windows was fantastic so the later afternoons were the only time it felt too warm. The hypnotizing sound of the surf, the stars that seemed like you could reach out & touch them - magical. Would definitely stay here again & again.

Lovely condo right on the ocean. We loved watching the sea turtles and whales while enjoying our coffee in the morning. Oceanfront views of sunrise and sunset were unforgettable and the chairs and beach towels were greatly appriciated.

This was a great place to stay in Kauai! The property is even better than described in the listing. I already miss sitting on the patio watching the turtles and surfers. Owners have thought of everything and provide everything you need! Thanks so much for making our stay so comfortable!
