I stayed with my husband for a week at this condo and it was exactly how it was descibed. We had a fabulous time. The condo had everything one could possibly need. The location was incredible. You are at the water, you wake up and go to sleep with the sound of the ocean. When we were at condo,we were outside all of the time on lani or beach chairs and in the evening viewing the most beautiful sunsets. I recomend this rental to anyone wanting to have a great location and a great time...Thank you Ron Brown

Absolutely loved staying here. The location is so spectacular that many people come to hang out in front of the condo to view. We loved watching the surfers & turtles swimming every day. We appreciated that the condo was well stocked (since the place we stayed on the north side was a bit sparse). Plenty of towels, toilet paper, stuff to play at the beach. Our only observation is the slatted doors give no privacy at all. We were two couples and a little privacy would have been nice but we made it work. We understand that it is helpful for circulation. Maybe someday the bathrooms should have solid doors, you could hear everything BUT that wouldn't stop us from staying again in this beautiful, comfortable, accommodating condo.

We have stayed at Kuhio Shores several times, but this place was the best. Amazing views, comfy beds, awesome amenities, great communication from the owner, AC, everything you could want - it was perfect.

Thanks, Ron, for letting us use your wonderful condo! We had stayed at Kuhio Shores years ago for our honeymoon, and the time w brought out 3 year old. We had a wonderful time, and it was nice to have the ground floor unit to let him walk out the door onto the grass near the shore. The unit was well appointed, with all the things we needed for a week of cooking and relaxing. The location is just perfect, next to the Beach House restaurant and beach, and just a few minutes from Poipu Beach and easy shopping. We would love to stay here again. Ron was a great host, and everything about the experience was easy. And easy 5-star rating!

The location was outstanding. Right next to the crashing waves and great viewing point from which to watch the surfers. We saw many, many sea turtles in the water just beyond the rocks. Every day they were there. The sunrise and sunsets were fabulous. Our host was kind enough to provide us with a bottle of champagne for our anniversary. We were able to take it with us to the Beach House restaurant to have with our anniversary meal.

This was our first VRBO experience, we usually stay at the Hyatt Poipu but the rates were $1,000+, I found this unit on VRBO and the views had me sold immediately. They did not disappoint in fact the location and views cannot be topped, the surf was up so we had a fantastic vantage point to great surfing and in October the sunset is visible here, unreal every night. As a bonus the Beach House restaurant is next door. The unit itself had everything you need and for me who runs hot, the AC was cold, our next stop had a terrible AC setup. The whole experience was exceptional, hope to stay here again for sure.

The location of this property can’t be beat. Perfect views of both the sunrises and sunsets! Steps away from the water’s edge and views of the surfers almost all day long.
There isn’t a beach here but the view from the lanai is more than worth it.

October 2023
What can I say? Zero complaints or issues! I would hope all my friends would stay here rather than any other condo on Kauai. Ron was very easy to communicate with. It was just an amazing place to stay! The sunset was right in front of our porch!!! It was stunning. Really just the perfect place to stay. Unfortunately no pool at the condo but a membership to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club came with the condo which was 1 mile from condo and it was an amazing club/gym with a beautiful pool and everything else that can come with an athletic club.
Just an amazing place we will have fond memories of forever

Adequate fo four. Nice clean. But the location is the thing. About 20 yards of grass between you and the surf. On the same level. Restaurant around the corner.

Ron was the perfect host, quick to respond and answer any questions we had. The bottle of chilled Champane was very thoughtful welcome gift.The unit was very nice and well equipped. The furniture and beds were well maintained and comfortable. We've stayed at Kuhio Shores several times before 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.

Location, location, location! We loved our visit to #118 in ocean front Kuhio Shores Condominiums (right next to Beach House Restaurant). Ground level unit with patio walks out to soft lawn and ocean front views- great for watching surfers and boogie boarders and taking in gorgeous sunsets. Plenty of beach equipment provided- 4 chairs & boogie boards, 3 size coolers, umbrella. One minute walk to Lawaii Beach for snorkeling, close drive to other best beaches in Poipu. Very responsive and friendly host. Our second trip to Kuhio Shores- we needed second bedroom this time. Would definitely stay here again! Mahalo

We stayed here with our 10 and 7-year-old boys over the New Year's holiday. It is a jaw-dropping view when you walk in and open the shades! The sliding glass door is literally yards away from the breaking ocean waves. The sound is soothing and the views are incredible. We were able to spot whales most days off the balcony. Ron had some champagne chilling in the fridge for us when we got there.
This time of year we could see the sunrise AND sunset from the balcony. Given the southern-facing view, it does get a bit hot on the back patio, so if you can bring some shade or put up an umbrella I would recommend that. Mornings and evenings, however, are lovely. The condo is within walking distance of the Beach House restaurant which was so-so. Very overpriced food and drinks for what you get, so I wouldn't use this as a reason to book here. Why pay that money when you can cook a fabulous dinner in his kitchen and enjoy your own cocktails and wine on the lanai.
There are tide pools and lava rocks for kids to climb on just off the grassy knoll. There are a couple of small beaches to walk to nearby. One in front of the beach house restaurant, and another called Baby beach, a quick 5-minute walk away.
This unit came stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, and coolers. There was a beach towel for each of us and a few random beach items in the closet, along with an ice pack for the coolers.
There are 4 coin-op laundry rooms on property, so make sure to stop by the store and grab detergent and quarters to wash clothes, beach towels, and kitchen towels.
We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again! Thank you Ron
December 2022
Thank you Ron for an incredible stay at your beautiful condo! We enjoyed 9 nights at this ocean front retreat and had the best time. It has beautiful, expansive and unobstructed views of the ocean - exactly what you come to Kauai to see! Condo is well stocked, very comfortable beds and furnishings and nice updates. Great location and easy to get to area attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to go back - truly a piece of paradise! We will definitely return to this condo on our next trip back to Kauai - thank you for the hospitality and sharing your beautiful vacation home with us! Mahalo - William & Rachael

Loved the location ! My toddler loves running out onto the grass on those early morning wakings.
It was a pretty quiet building which was nice, the restaurant beside ( the beach club ) was always wrapping events up at 9 pm which was very nice.
Two things that I very much didn’t like. The doors to bathroom, and bedrooms were open shutter style so you could hear everything happening in those said rooms. Not a plus if your travelling with any other guests.
Second , and my husband and I tried our best to see where this sound was coming from, but the air conditioner from the upstairs unit every 59 seconds would make a loud enough gurgle that cause us to have quite interrupted sleeps.
This sound only seem to come on during the night in our 6 night stay.
Other than those two things the suite was totally equipped with everything we needed and more! Sand play toys for baby, pack and play , board games, coffee maker, and lounge chairs.
Those were our most used !

Our family really enjoyed our week stay at Ron's condo. The view was absolutely amazing, next door to the Beach House Restaurant. The condo was cleaned, fully stocked, and organized. We spent many hours on the patio enjoying the view and listening to the waves. Check-in was a breeze. Ron emailed us instructions, tips, suggestions prior to our trip.

Our time in Kauai was better when we stayed at Ron’s condo. The place was super clean, cozy and felt like home while, at the same time, the amazing view—the ocean, the sunrises and sunsets, and the surfers zipping through the waves—kept up our vacation vibe. There are so many fun things to see and do within walking distance, including a restaurant right next door with amazing food and even better cocktails, a shaved ice place across the street, and places nearby to rent snorkels, fins and similar equipment. We would stay here again in a minute and, in fact, hope to do so soon. The rental process was super easy and Ron was thorough and friendly.

The best view! You are right on the ocean with amazing views from every window. We saw whales almost every day (mid March) just off the shore and also seals and turtles. Snorkeling off Lawai beach is a simple walk out the back door. Ron’s place is well equipped with boogie boards, beach chairs, and plenty of kitchen wares including a ninja blender for smoothies or frozen drinks. We will be back!!

We had an excellent stay in this condo with family. This was our first time to Kauai and traveling with and infant. Ron’s Condo came already equipped with a pack n play, baby pool and sands toys which was very convenient for our family. It is located at some of the best snorkeling and surfing on the south side of the island. Everyday we could see whales, sea turtles, surfers and the most amazing sunsets right from the porch. Ron was very responsive to questions and very professional. Thank you Ron for the wonderful stay!
March 2022
The location was great! Beautiful sunset, close to the water, and restaurant. Great lawn area which was great to have a picnic right outside the unit. You can see and hear the waves.
Only thing is the parking, there was a couple of cars double parked and we had to park in the no parking zone one night. Security was notified and the owner had to speak to the association about it.
Overall, it’s a great location and great response from the owner.

March 2022
The property is on the ground floor right on the ocean so the views were breathtaking. The kitchen was fully functional which helped with breakfast and lunch. Beach chairs and umbrellas were available for use on the beach. The kitchen table and chairs weren't the most comfortable for use in playing games/cards. The doors to the bedrooms and bathroom are louvered so there was very little privacy.
Luis G.
March 2022
The photos do not do this condo justice at all! It is so much nicer in person!
The views are amazing and being able to walk right outside is truly what sets this place apart.
The location is great. We found shops, coffee, and so many food options within 5 minute drives. It's a great starting point to tour around the island.
The only thing that could be a drawback for some is the lack of privacy. There are always people walking by the back and most will look in. Personally, we didn't mind it too much as we just loved having the shades open and taking in the view of the ocean - but can see how some my be bothered by it.
Sunsets will always draw a crowd right behind the condo, but they're amazing to take in from the lanai or even out on the grass.
In the end - if we are back in Kaua'i we are 1000% booking this condo again!

My husband and I loved every minute of our stay here. Such a beautiful home with incredible views. We snorkelled at the beach nearby, watched whales and sea turtles from the patio, gorgeous sunrise and sunsets, and enjoyed using the community bbq where we met a few other wonderful couples who own condos here.
We did not want to leave and we cannot wait to come back to the island!

The condo is beautifully maintained and well stocked with everything that you will need. The views are spectacular - the surround-windows draw the beautiful lawn, lava rocks, and ocean right to you - even inside! The location is perfect. You will enjoy watching a bride and groom having their pictures taken on the lava rocks just outside if you come during a weekend. So fun! Everyone we met was happy and friendly. It was fun to watch the surfers, snorkelers, and the net fishermen through the condo windows and on our patio. The surf is just that close! Overall, this is a perfect location and a wonderful property.

I found the property to be exactly as advertised. It was clean. the beds were comfy and the property owner is a delight to work with. The view is amazing with views of both sunrises and sunsets. Saw turtles and whales right from the patio which is always a treat. The purpose of my holiday to the island was to do not much of anything. Ron's condo allowed me to do just that. It was well stocked and if you are in Kauai for the view, this condo does not disappoint. The grounds are incredibly well maintained. Staff were out daily keeping the grounds looking perfect but not so much they were intrusive to the zen of the day. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a fabulous location for your stay on the south side of the island. This condo is well appointed and has all of the amenities you need for a beautiful ocean front stay on Kauai.
We chose this location because of the proximity to the wedding venue next-door. The property owner, Ron, was very positive about the location and the venue. I appreciated the personal engagement he demonstrated.
Ron was highly communicative and flexible.
I would definitely choose this specific condo again.
Thanks Ron for you hospitality.

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything was clean, organized, and comfortable. We were steps away from 3 great surfing breaks and there were sea turtles right outside every day. We cooked most of our meals throughout the week and the kitchen had everything we needed, and the BBQ's for the complex were great. Thanks Ron for a great stay!

Wonderful stay at a picture perfect property with the Pacific waves constantly rolling in amidst vibrant sunsets! Ron’s condo was around the corner from awesome snorkeling @ Lawai beach, and convenient to restaurants & shops in Koloa many of which we walked to. For things further away we rode electric tandems, which was great w/Kauai’s weather:)! Awesome stay- would definitely come again!

We had a wonderful stay at Ron's condo and will absolutely stay there again when back on the South Shore. Being right on the ocean with windows looking out over the waves was amazing! We loved watching the surfers & sunsets from the condo and walking out our door to some of the best snorkeling in Kauai! We loaded up our rental car with the beach chairs, cooler and boogie boards that Ron provided and explored the nearby beaches and hikes. The condo was equipped with everything we needed to cook, play and relax! Our family of 4 gave our stay a 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!

Can't say enough about this great property. It was immaculate, very well equipped, and much better than even the pictures portrayed! We loved watching the surfers right from out patio, and there was excellent snorkeling next door at Lawai Beach. We saw probably 30-40 different fish and lots of turtles! We will never forget our stay here!

We came to celebrate my boyfriends birthday. The t was our first trip since COVID and the flight getting in was pretty tough... After all of that, arriving at this place was more than I could have hoped for. We sister spent her honeymoon here years ago and she recommended we stay here, so I cancelled our hotel and went for it... It was beautiful, clean, right on the water and exactly what we needed. The kitchen is stocked with all utensils (nice brands too... by the way!), so stop at Costco and get what you need. Beds are comfortable and he even leaves you with towels, beach chairs, games, sunscreen, etc. We had everything we needed to adventure all over the island.
I also mentioned it was my boyfriends birthday ahead of time and there was champagne ready and chilled in the fridge. So sweet.
I’m so grateful for this trip. Thank you Ron! And your tribute to your brother is truly what makes this place special!
March 2016
My family has been renting this condo for 12+ years and intends to return soon.
The spectacular surf and sunset views and easy access to recreation make this condo a must for the visitor to the Garden Isle. World class snorkel beaches lie on either side of the building. A new modern shopping center is within walking distance. The condo is furnished in a tasteful surf motif which is periodically updated by the owner.
I give this rental top rating based on the 12+years we have been coming there.

If you are looking for ocean front, it does not get any better than this! The photos are great, however they do not capture how truly amazing the view is. This condo is in a terrific location near shopping and next door to the one of the best restaurants on the island, The Beach House. You can surf, boogie board, and snorkel right out of the back door! You can relax to the sounds of the surf from every room in the condo. The sunsets in Kauai are incredible and this condo has the best spot on the island for spectacular views nightly. We enjoyed watching the whales & sea turtles each morning while eating breakfast on the lanai.
The condo itself is very well appointed with a fully equipped kitchen providing everything you need & more. The complex is well kept, quiet, and has ample parking. The owner was a pleasure to work with, promptly responding to communication, providing an easy transaction process, and making our stay stress free. I highly recommend this condo and hope to return myself for another magical vacation in paradise!
March 2013
We loved our two weeks in your condo #118!! What beautiful views of the sunsets in the evenings!! Rainbows appeared almost every morning behind the swaying coconut tree at the end of the manicured lawn. The Beach House Resturant-best resturant on the island is next door. We enjoyed watching whales and surfers right from the kitchen table and the chairs in front of the condo.
The kitchen is nicely equipped, and the furniture is cute. Sleeping was so-so-so peaceful and comfy! Comfortable beds, wonderful breezes from ceiling fans and open windows allowed us to fall asleep easily.
We hope to come back some day!!!!

We spent two weeks in this unit and loved every minute. The location was perfect for us. We have a 5 year old and a baby and the ground floor unit opening right onto a manicured lawn was a wonderful place to spend time. Our daughter ran up and down that lawn 1000 times. She walked down onto the rocks hunting for crabs and other sea life. My baby girl crawled all over and it was a nice break from her eating sand. We could also take the minute walk to Lawaii Beach for sand play and great snorkeling. We saw many sea turtles, a few whales, and monk seals. My husband and I surfed the wave right out front and it was so cool not to have to pack up the boards and the family to drive to a surfbreak. The sunset is spectacular and people come from all over to watch. There's great walking/jogging sidewalks and a shopping center within walking distance with some nice restaurants. Baby Beach is a short walk away too. We only went to the main beach at Poipu once because everything we desired was right in front of us! My only suggestion would be some nicer coffee mugs, more bowls, and access to extra linens and blankets. Other than that we felt so lucky to score great weather, good waves, and a family vacation full of wonderful memories. We have already talked about returning next year!

This was the perfect condo in Kuhio Shores. We have stayed and several of them in the past and have enjoyed this one the best! It is in the perfect spot on the ground floor. You can watch the whales and sunset from the condo! My husband loved it because he could walk to the surf break and I did not need to leave the condo to watch him surf. This was absolutely the perfect place to stay! I can't wait to stay here the next time we visit Kauai!
