If you are looking for a beautiful, spacious, incredibly clean, affordable condo with fantastic amenities located right in the heart of Poipu….you've come to the right place!!  Pakele Kahakai or "Beach Escape" is what our family calls our dream Kauai home.  This condo puts you in easy walking distance to world famous beaches, and a very short drive to fantastic shopping, restaurants, golfing, and many other popular attractions!  Take a quick stroll just outside the condo on the “Greenbelt Walkway” and you will arrive at Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach in about five minutes, or head the other direction and you can walk to the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Shipwreck Beach in under ten minutes.  You could not ask for a more central location in the middle of the action! Poipu Beach has been voted "Best Beach in America" by the Travel Channel and it is not hard to see why.  Poipu Beach has a section of calm waters perfect for families with young children, but is also great for snorkeling, swimming, boogie boarding, and surfing.  There is a huge lawn area with shade trees, picnic tables, kids play-area, restrooms, showers, and some food options.
With 1329 sq/ft of space, two large bedrooms, two updated bathrooms, and three separate outdoor lanai’s, this beautiful condo not only gives you plenty of room for your group, but you truly feel like you are at home.  You will be hard-pressed to find a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo anywhere in Kauai that has this much space! There is an open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining room which is great for entertaining or relaxing.  The front lanai looks out to lush tropical green surroundings with mountain views, and each bedroom has its own private lanai with stunning garden views.  Time your stay right and you can literally pick fresh bananas from the tree off the bedroom lanai! Both bedrooms have king beds, and a queen-size very comfy Murphy bed is conveniently tucked away in the dining room area, making for very relaxing sleeping arrangements for up to six guests. Air conditioning was recently added in both of the bedrooms and can keep the entire condo cool. Every room in the condo has ceiling fans, and there are also great natural breezes. You also don't have to worry about bringing your beach gear, we supply everything you need: snorkeling gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach blanket, boogie boards, beach toys, and an ice chest.  We also supply all linens, including beach towels, paper products, soap, laundry pods, dishwasher soap, coffee, and coffee filters. The large kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need including chefs knives and great pots and pans!  Both the kitchen and bathrooms were fully remodeled complete with granite countertops, new cabinets, and seamless showers. There is new and very plush carpet in the living room, hallway, and bedrooms. This condo is loaded with stacked laundry, free High Speed Wireless Internet, Alexxa, and flat screen TV’s with cable in both bedrooms and the living room.
In addition to its ideal ground-level location and close walking access to some of Kauai’s best beaches, there are amazing amenities that come along with staying at the Poipu Kai Resort! Your group will have access to 3 beautiful pools and jacuzzi’s. We have a lovely pool, jacuzzi, and BBQ area conveniently right around the corner but just far enough away to avoid the noise. You have access to tennis and pickleball courts, BBQ grills, beautiful lush green surroundings with lighted walking paths, a designated parking spot, and ample additional free parking.  This is a beautiful condo and is in a prime location just minutes from the best beaches, swimming, surfing, amazing golf courses, and great shopping. The Poipu Kai Resort offers the perfect vacation for every traveler, and this condo will make you feel at home right away.  If you book this condo one time and you’ll want to come stay again and again like many of our returning guests!

We had a great stay in this lovely property. Four adults and one infant stayed for a full week. The property was clean, well maintained, and very close to beaches. We were having problems with the VRBO Website and couldn’t access the entry directions. We reachied out to the hosts and they were very gracious in returning our call promptly. When we come back to Kauai we will try to book this property again!

All of the positive reviews of this property were 100% correct. It was clean, comfortable, spacious, and the owners have put a lot of thought and effort into providing everything one could possibly need during a stay. It was an easy 10 minute walk down to the beach and to a couple of casual eating places. After a busy day out, it really felt like we were “coming home”, which you could never say about a hotel room. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Kauai.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property! Super clean, VERY roomy and close to the beach. The best part about the beach that’s close is it’s literally the best boogie board beach on the island! Beautiful sunsets to be had right down there as well. We also have to say that the closet out the master bedroom had everything imaginable for your visit to the beach. Thank you for sharing all that with us.

Our stay at Poipu Kai was magical! We have three teenage daughters and the condo was nice and spacious. We put one daughter in the Murphy Bed and that worked well. Great to have coffee on the lanai next to the geckos. The condo was well-furnished and a great central location for an easy walk to Poipu Beach and the Hyatt Grand Regency. We had so much fun and highly recommend this place. Thanks!

We had a wonderful time. The property listing is accurate and the property owner/manager was very responsive and let us check out late for a fee which was really helpful as our flight out was not until 10pm. The beach was amazing and the condo property/landscaping was beautiful. Would recommend to anyone. There is a strange smell to the place but if you open up the doors to get the island breeze going it goes away and you don't notice it at all. The murphy bed was comfortable and the air conditioning in the other bedrooms was great. If you plan on using the murphy bed just be aware that there is only a fan in that area so it is hotter than the other rooms for sleeping. So happy we were able to visit this beautiful place.

My family and I stayed in this condo and would easily recommend it to family and friends. The condo was spacious, big comfortable beds and lots of room in the living spaces. The kitchen had all the essentials you need to get through your stay. The real shining moment for this condo is their beach supply closet. Truly you don’t need to think about bringing anything beach related. They have coolers of all types, a beach blanket, beach toys, boogie boards, fins, snorkels, swim shoes, floaties, beach chairs, umbrella, wagon, and things for nearby activities like golf and tennis. We brought a few things like floaties for the kids and beach bags to hold our things and truly we could have skipped it and used things they had. My only hesitation with the condo was the carpet, it was everywhere and very close to white. In a lot of their instructions they were very clear about keeping the carpet pristine and being charged for any spots. I understand this completely but with kids (5y, 3y, and 1y) it is a bit nerve wracking. Overall I suspect we will be staying here again on any subsequent trips to Kauai.

We had a blast in Poipu! The condo was perfect for our family. We loved how much space we had, especially the well-equipped kitchen! The amenities the condo has the offer are fantastic—from the pools, to the beach supplies, to the pickleball courts. We loved walking to the nearby beaches and exploring the gorgeous grounds. We highly recommend this spot to guests!

Family of 5, with kids aged 11,15,18 visiting Kauai in December. The condo was clean, roomy, and the washer/dryer, kitchen appliances, and all other things provided were top notch! We appreciated the boogie boards very much!! The location was so perfect to walk to every sunset and sunrise, as well as 3 beaches.

Aside from the A/C, great location, and beautiful condo the details are amazing. Motion sensored night lights, batteries, plastic wraps/forks/baggies, lots of games, extra fans, 3 TV’s, laundry detergent….so many little things that make a big difference. The beach gear is also an amazing haul and all of it in great condition. As one who is super picky about cleanliness (think Monica on the sitcom Friends) I didn’t have any complaints or concerns. Super clean, no bugs, and no smells. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. It’s so much bigger than expected and the Murphy bed a great bonus.

We usually stay on the north shore but decided to stay in Poipu to be close to some family. Amazing property in a great location, and the hosts were communicative and lovely. It’s a quick 5 min walk through the beautiful community to Poipu beach. The hosts have equipment for you to use and we a absolutely loved our stay.

Pictures as advertised! Place was much bigger than expected! Very roomy and spacious. All amenities needed for your stay! Pool/spa/bbq was about 500 feet away from the condo. Be sure to grab a parking pass from the dining room cabinet to avoid any ticket violation, we learned the hard way. Poipu beach is just either a short 1 minute drive or about 8-10 minutes walk down the path in the back. Poipu is close enough to town/Lihue for all your shopping needs. Make sure you do a Costco run before heading to the condo, we didn't buy much food, but we threw out a ton of food! Communication with the host was great. We had a few encounters with the toilet and Angelica was so quick to remediate the issues and even replaced the toilet in main bath (during our stay) as we still had issues. Lydgate and Poipu were the best beaches to take the kiddos to. Makauwahi Cave was fun, make sure you bring water! Take the scenic route down and back up instead, much easier!

The condo was as advertised, clean, and in a great location. My family very much enjoyed our stay. There is a strong musty smell that does not seem to go away no matter how much you air the place out, but I understand this is probably normal in a tropical environment. Some of the towels that were put away clean smelled like they had not been dried properly, we just re-washed and dried them and all was well. Although the air conditioning in the bedrooms is great, the front of the condo does not ever seem to cool down, which was a little rough for our kids who slept on the Murphy's bed as it was super hot and humid during our stay. None of this would stop us from staying again though. Owner was very responsive. Pool was great as well for days we did not go to the beach. Beach equipment provided is a huge plus as well! Great place!!

Comfortable, convenient, clean, all the amenities including a pool with hot tub. Photo on the listing shows an ocean view, however- there is a walk to enjoy this. Overall, served our needs enjoying Kauai

The property was located just in the right place for our plans. The beach equipment was great and very useful. The A/C also help a lot especially after coming in from outside. We would stay there again and would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

The location was perfect!! The house was everything we wanted, including A/C. It did smell a little musky from humidity but understandable being Hawaii. The murphy bed was addition and also why i chose this one. The pool and hot tub were right outside the front door. So happy!!

Our family of 4 plus 2 grandparents loved this condo. The location was perfect - with walking access to beaches and dining. Both ACs in the bedrooms made our stay very comfortable. The lanai closet, bathrooms and kitchen were well equipped for our stay. Angelica was very responsive and helpful during our stay. Highly recommend this home.

Clean and spacious wish we'd had our full time here. Vancouver and Calgary airports were in chaos with multiple cancelled or delayed flights resulting in us missing connection to Kauai. Nothing we could do except rebook, spent 3 nights in Vancouver.

The property is located in an amazingly beautiful area. It was easy to travel to all areas of the island. The condo is well kept and was perfect for the four of us and could have easily accommodated two more guests.

We could not have been happier with our stay at this condo! The location is lovely - within a 10 minute walk to 2 great beaches and steps away from one of the resort pools. The beautifully remodeled condo has everything you need for a Hawaiian vacation including beach gear, all the kitchen essentials, three quiet lanai for enjoying just sitting outside. Angelica was incredibly helpful and communication was very easy for check-in and check-out.

We hadn’t been on a vacation in four years, so when we arrived at the condo and saw how large it was, not to mention how close one of the 2 pools we had access to, we were thrilled! There were beach chairs, boogie boards and even golf clubs for our use! We will definitely be back.

All around wonderful place to stay in the Regency condos at Poipu Kai resort. Tons of space, solid air conditioning in the bedrooms, lots of beach toys in the closet. We had a great time staying here!

My family of five fit perfectly at this property. It was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The beach chairs, sand toys, boogie board, and wagon were so nice to have. We were able to walk to Poipu beach a couple times thanks to the wagon! The location was perfect! My entire family loved our stay here.

Lovely condo with a few pools, tennis courts that lead down to Poipu beach. The condo was spacious even though a 2 bedroom. ...the murphy bed in the living room helped as we had 3 teenagers. Perfect location for visiting other parts of the Island like Waimea Canyon and the Secret Falls in Kapa. The furthest part of the island in Princeville only took a little over an hour. Only 25 mins from airport and Costco as we were on a budget and fresh Poke was great from there.

The condo was beautiful and comfortable. Easy access. The only thing was that the blue tooth speaker system did not work and I would recommend instructions on how to navigate the multiple remotes for the tv sets. I'm pretty good with this stuff but took me a minute. Otherwise, fabulous. The owner was very responsive...:)

Our family felt really great staying at this apartment. Pros: + Great kitchen with everything you need including bottled water, foil, zip lock bags - these small things really help feeling like home + Two bathrooms with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash + Three beds though we didn't really use murphy bed + Great pool with no crowds + Fully staffed locker with all beach equipment you may need: boogie boards, umbrellas, water shoes, snorkling masks, even freezer bag + Dedicated parking lot + Nice short walk to the Poipu beach The only thing I wished was the view of the ocean to enjoy sunsets and stargazing at night. Cons: - We missed 4 pieces out of 1000 piece puzzle. Really, I can't think of anything else. Angelica, Thanks a lot - we would definitely stay again if we come to Poipu!

My mother and I stayed at this beautiful property January 3-10, 2021. We could not have been happier with the accommodations. The two bedrooms were air conditioned and it was enough to cool down the entire condo. The property owners have thought of everything you could possibly need. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and they even provided beach chairs, umbrellas, beach bags, boogie boards, etc. The condo was very clean, and the furniture and beds were very comfortable. The location was fantastic! So close to several beaches and many restaurants and shops. I walked on two mornings to Brennicke's Beach where you can find turtles frolicking in the rocky area right next to the beach. It took me 7 minutes to walk there at a leisurely pace. The owners were so nice to deal with and communicated everything we needed to know. I highly recommend this Regency at Poipu Kai condo. I look forward to renting with them again!

The condo was clean and owner has it very well stocked with essentials. Loved the beds sooo comfortable. Slept soundly every night! The air conditioners in the bedrooms was a huge plus. Only downside was you could here every step from unit upstairs children running and the scraping of dining chairs being moved.

We are 4 older adults who spent a lot of time driving to different parts of the island. The condo has great parking and access to the roads but no street noise. And the walk to the beach was lovely! The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. We had a great time!

Just a wonderful stay. Everything was very clean including the carpets and we kept them that way. Everything worked. The unit was very well stocked with the little things, more than usual. Without hesitation would stay again!

The property location is great a short walk to the beach. A/C units worked great! Although we wish it had a unit for the living room area. We also didn’t find the fans until late in our stay but those definitely helped. The place was comfortable and easy to locate.

This is a beautiful property. The location of our rental was exactly as described. The location to the pool, BBQ, parking lot were a few dozen steps. The beach was a 10 minute walk. The beach? Boogie boarding, snorkling, turtles, sunrises, sunsets all at a 10 minute walk. The downside was the WiFi and it is controlled by the property's management group, not the homeowners. We did not get consistent WiFi our whole stay, though we did ask the homeowners to check into it. The weather was sunny all day long (with a little rain here and there). We would stay here again and not let WiFi stop us.

Close to beaches and centrally located in the area. Plenty of space in the condo, great for a group of friends or a small family.

We loved the condo and the complex. It was clean and well supplied with everything we needed. It is close to beaches and is centrally located. The parking is great too. The only negative was that the people above us smoked a lot, and we could smell the smoke.

We were unsure if we should stay South, North, or the West side since this is our first time to Kauai. I am pleased that we picked the right location. This rental is in a great location with a pool. It is near everything. The property is set up nice and pretty much had everything that we needed to have fun. We stayed here with our 2 recent college grads. We enjoyed having our on decks to hangout on when we needed a breather from our cool kids :P The A/C units work well in the bedrooms. They have ceiling fans in each room you would hang out in. There are portable fans in each room, but we didn't use them except one that we moved near the Murphy Bed. The girls didn't want to share the king bed in the second room so one slept on the Murphy bed. A nice screen panel would be a welcome addition, however, the Murphy bed option was great to have! It was one of the reasons we chose this rental so we didn't have to pay for a 3 bdrm rental. The washer and dryer inside were so handy to have available <3 We would definitely stay again if ever our travels bring us to this island again.

Every day went smooth with cooking, doing YouTube workouts on the large TV in the living room, breakfasts on the lanai, and walking to the beach and restaurants nearby. Angelica has great communication to prepare you for a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location, spacious and comfortable. Air conditioning from bedrooms is just barely enough to cool the murphy bed area for sleeping in the dining area. Could have had more towels and at least one spare roll of toilet paper. But these are minor compared to the overall great experience.


David M.

The apartment was extremely clean and had plenty of space for 4 people. The kitchen was functional and had pretty much everything we needed. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, but it wasn’t a huge issue.
