Loved this Condo and the view. My favorite time was morning coffee and fruit on the Lanai over looking the ocean, watching the turtles and surfers. Condo was very clean and beds were very comfortable! We will be back for sure! Also you couldn’t ask for a better location on the island. Close to poipu beach, shopping and amazing restaurants!

LOVED the view of the ocean! So fun to watch the turtles and surfers. The covered lanai was private with new furniture for relaxing and eating outside. Within minutes of great food trucks and shopping. We snorkeled, surfed and went scuba diving right in this area. Also not to be missed, a drive to the mountains on the west side of Kauai (an hour away) to overlooks and hiking in Waimea Canyon and Kokee State Park. We stayed on the north side of the island for 5 days and then came to the south side and stayed in this condo for 7 days which was perfect. During our transition day, we stopped in east Kauai to kayak and hike to a waterfall. A perfect vacation in Hawaii! Jack was the perfect host, extremely responsive and friendly. We didn't have any issues but still knew Jack was available if we needed him. Thank you for an amazing stay in your home on South Kauai!

The condo lived up to its description and more. Location is fantastic, nice view of weddings next door, glimpses of turtles, great surf-watching. Everything was spotless and very comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen. Jack was attentive and very prompt in respinding to questions. I can’t say enough good things about it.

We stayed in this lovely condo for 24 days. Snorkeling at the beach next door was great! The view of the ocean, surfers and turtles is magnificent. I was expecting a washer/dryer in the condo; it was at the far end of the building. The few times we wanted the A/C, it did not function. The owner came in once and reset it. On another occasion, we didn’t bother trying to get it to work. With windows open there is a nice breeze. The beds are comfortable. The furnishings on the lanai are so so. The interior is a bit dated. Overall it was a lovely stay.

Words can’t quite describe the sensations of sitting on the balcony with only the ocean, rocks, palm trees and surfers in view as you listen to the waves crash. The condo is well stocked, clean and comfortable. Jack was an A+ host as he was incredibly responsive to a few questions we had.

Location of this condo cannot be beat. Close to everything you need on the South Shore.
The condo is well-equipped. The kitchen, especially, had everything we needed, PLUS!
The only negative we had is the furniture needs to be replaced. It is outdated and not comfortable due to its age and heavy use over time.
A regular sized ironing board would be much appreciated.
Overall, our stay was very pleasant. The sunsets and moonshine on the water were breathtaking.
The ocean sounds made for a relaxing and calm experience.
If you want a true oceanfront condo and stunning lanai , this property is for you.

We were two couples staying in this beautiful condo. We spent many hours on the lanai, watching whales, dolphins, seals, birds, turtles and surfers. We loved hearing the sound of the waves and enjoyed the sunsets.
The condo is well equipped, with almost everything we needed. An additional wine glass, more than two tea towels and a pasta fork would have been appreciated. The beds were comfortable and the showers worked well. The location is ideal. The snorkelling on the beach next to the property was excellent. Shops and other amenities were within walking distance. We had a wonderful stay.

This place is absolutely beautiful. The view is amazing so close to the water. We never closed the windows so we could hear the crashing of the waves day and night. The location was perfect close to everything we wanted to do. Jack was great to communicate with especially after leaving something there. He had it in the mail the next day. We highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to go back.

The condo was perfect for the four of us! It was right on the ocean so we were able to see turtles, dolphins, and whales. Also enjoyed watching the surfers.
The view was so perfect we often ate in to appreciate it and to watch the sunsets.

The condo was conveniently located right next to the Beach House restaurant and within walking distance of several beaches. Beautiful property with all amenities needed. My wife, 21-year-old son, and I had plenty of room. The property was quiet at night, except for the crashing waves below the balcony. We were able to see humpback whales often in the distance. Would stay again!

The views were amazing! You could watch the amazing sunrise and the morning surfers from the balcony every morning while relaxing and drinking your morning coffee and every evening you could also watch the sunset from the balcony. We also could see turtles up by the rocks in front of the condo and whales in the distance from the balcony. There’s a tiny beach beside the condo but amazing beaches only a short drive away. We loved this condo and would love to stay here again EXCEPT for one thing…sadly the beds were truly awful! Both the master king mattress and the queen mattress in the second bedroom are old and have no support left in them whatsoever. I have back issues so it was a big issue for me but the other 3 people in my party have no back issues but had sore backs after sleeping on these mattresses. All of us had awful sleep due to these beds and the only way we could stay in this unit again is if they replaced the mattresses. It makes no sense for a high end unit like this to have old worn out mattresses, please get new ones, your condo is amazing otherwise! I feel bad even writing this but I really must worn fellow back pain people, if someone had said this before I would have looked elsewhere. So please get new mattresses and update your description saying new mattresses! Then everyone will know they can disregard this part of my review.

2nd time staying at Kuhio Shores, 1st time staying in this room, Excellent view, 2 room condo. Everything you need for an excellent vacation. Our host Jack was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Can’t get any closer to the ocean. This condo is worth ever penny. Highly recommended!

Stayed in condo for 1 week in October. Description and pictures accurate. Great communication with manager. Condo is clean and well appointed. Surfers and turtles out our lanai every morning. Air conditioning works well. Came in handy when the trade winds shut down. No hesitation on recommending this place for a stay on the south shore of Kauai.

My mother and I stayed for a wonderful week at this charming condo located on the south shore of Kauai. The location was absolutely perfect for all the activities we had planned on the island. The condo was very well stocked with plenty of pots, pans, plates, cups, etc. And it was great having plenty of leftover items in the pantry from previous guests, ie spices, sugar, tea. The unit itself was very comfortable. The living room furniture was very comfy for nights in when we wanted to relax and recharge, and the beds were very comfy. The beach accessories provided were awesome! The tommy bahama beach chairs were well maintained and easy to transport from beach to beach, plenty of beach towels too! Our favorite part of the unit was the lanai. Taking in the views of the ocean, turtles swimming by, the surf boys and surf girls ripping waves all day long, having dinner on the lanai, it was absolute perfection. We cannot wait to come back to this unit, we fell in love even more with the island of Kauai because of this special place. We will be booking here again, and again, and again!

My family has been to Kauai 8 times over the past 15 years. We have always stayed at Kuhio Shores because of the location near PK's , Brennecke's and Shipwrecks. This condo, by far, has been the most beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The views of the ocean are simply amazing. Our host, Jack, was extremely easy to work with. We had a bit of an issue with the front door lock and he helped us right away. I highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful time at this property and we will certainly return at the earliest opportunity as well as recommend it to others. The hosts were wonderful. I had questions on the day of check-in (I mistakenly missed the access details they had diligently provided to me in advance) and they responded quickly to make sure I had the information I required. The unit itself was perfect and the sound of the waves was amazing. Highly recommended.

We loved enjoying our coffee on the lanai watching surfers and an afternoon cocktail watching sea turtles come up to the shore to feed. Convenient location for the south and west side of the island. Don’t miss Koke’e State Park views. Mahalo Jack and Doreen.

We absolutely loved our time in Kauai. The condo was perfect for our family- the view is unbeatable. The location was perfect for us, too- close to all that we needed. And, Jack reached out to us to answer any questions that we might have. He was communicative, really helpful and kind. We would definitely stay there again, and can't wait to come back!

Yep it is all it sounds like it is. The location is perfect walkable to shops and eats and even a few beaches. The condo is all about the view and the air conditioning is top notch if you are a heat wimp like myself! Try Vitality foods in Koala town. ONLY vegan eats we could find and just incredible even if you are not vegan ish at all…

We loved our stay at your condo. The condo was clean with plenty of amenities and had a great location right on the water. We loved sitting on the lanai, watching the surfers ride the waves and seeing the turtles swim by the shoreline.

Kuhio Shores is optimally situated in the Lawai Beach area of Poipu, as close to the ocean's edge as you can get. We loved seeing and hearing the surf from our lanai (and whales offshore, too!), and when you add the dining table off the kitchen with corner views on two sides, you are able to see both sunrise and sunset!
The condo was very well appointed with everything we needed, including useful coolers to take to the beach -- and even mosquito spray, which I forgot to take on a hike and wished I had! We liked that there were separate A/C units in the individual rooms—it was more energy efficient to only use what you needed in a particular space.
The only downside was that I didn't realize the unit didn't have its own washer and dryer (I didn't read the description closely enough). Coin-operated ones are conveniently available on each floor, but it would have been ideal to have had free W/D in the condo.
Communication with owner Jack was great—quick, friendly and efficient. The check-in/welcome instructions were extremely detailed and useful. He even checked in on us mid-stay to see how everything was going. We'd love to return!

Amazing to wake up to the sound of waves every morning. Fun to watch all the surfers and we enjoyed the festivities (weddings) next door. Overall, this is an outstanding location and the AC was crucial for us wimps that don't like to sweat much! Neighbors were all pleasant as well.

The views couldn't have been any better. The sunsets were stunning every day we were there. The location was perfect for us. It was far enough from the crowds of Poipu but close enough to everything else. Top-rated restaurants all within 2 minutes drive. The check-in process was easy.

Jack the owner called us to make sure we had what we needed. An absolutely beautiful property right by the ocean and next door to the Beach House Restaurant which was a fantastic treat for Happy Hour and dinner. Hearing the waves especially at night was soothing. We would definitely book this property with Jack and Dorinda again.

You would have a very difficult time finding a better view anywhere. The condo is located in a very cute little town. Being sort of a foodie I had to travel a distance of about 30 minutes or so to find restaurants with the highest ratings. But we had a rental car so that was not a big deal. During our stay the smoke detector started beeping. Jack was over to fix in 20 minutes.

We loved everything about it. Best view on the island! You can watch surfers and sea turtles all day. Great location, close to shopping and restaurants. We had a couple questions for Jack and he was quick to respond and very helpful. Looking forward to coming back!
