This condo was perfect for our family. And it was one of the few condos we saw that was directly on the ocean in this area of Poipu. We spent so many nights and mornings watching the waves from our balcony and we saw lots of sea turtles each day bobbing along in the ocean. We also enjoyed the beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, and beach towels that were provided. Amazing stay!! Highly recommend!

Location for swimmable beach, sunset view from condo and local restaurants out of the high tourist area keeps us coming back.
Thanks

This was a stunning location on the ocean. You cannot get any closer to the ocean as this, the constant thunder of the ocean waves, the sea turtles were oh so plentiful and fun to watch, even a pod of dolphins went by, which was such a treat. The room was beautiful. I definitely would not share this with another couple because even though there is plenty of room in the sleeping accommodations the setting area is quite small for a family of three let alone trying to get four people on that couch, which is only meant for three perhaps something rearranged not sure how you could do that besides mount the TV on the wall and put some seating underneath that, it’s a tough one. It worked out just fine but it was tight. The lanai was very beautiful with plenty of room running the length of the accommodation. We didn’t realize how big this facility was and how many rooms there were, so The pool was quite busy with lots of kids, but it was still amazing to have it right there on the ocean. The parking was pretty tight there unfortunately some of the lines weren’t well defined (some faded, some straight some sideways) so our rig got dinged in the lower lot so maybe having some better defined lines that weren’t faded might help some figure out where they’re supposed to park. We had a bigger rig, so it was tight to begin with. thank you for our wonderful stay. This facility was clean and very well cared for. We thank you for everything and letting us share your beautiful place.

This has a perfect location for viewing turtles, dolphins, & whales right from your balcony. Saw them everyday of our one week stay! (March) Kitchen is well appointed. We cooked all but two meals there during our stay. The BBQ’s are nearby for grilling steaks. The Tommy Bahama chairs and beach towels are much appreciated for the short walk to the beach. Be sure to go down to the beach at sunset as the turtles come up on shore to rest for the evening. Speaking of sunsets you have great views from the balcony and also grass area by the bbq’s. I highly recommend this condo. I would definitely go back if I visit Kauai again.

Our stay was nice. The view was spectacular. We watched the sea turtles swim and listened to the waves crash into the rocks.

The view was amazing! Seeing the sunrise and sunsets every day was pure heaven.

We enjoyed our stay in this 2 bedroom condo. The space was sized perfect for my husband and I. One loveseat in living room, two loungers on patio - it fills the space so they've made it work. We utilized the kitchen a lot. Good knives! One person cooking is the right number. A/C's worked well. Nice welcome package. Bonus of filtered water pitcher and one sports bottle to decrease need for lots of plastic bottles. Lovely location to walk to the Hyatt side or Brenneke side of Poipu. Loved the pool. Photos are exactly as we experienced it.
Helpful to know: 1. the pool key opens a "west gate" (accessed by the parking lot side behind building A then down toward the bluff) that makes the walk to Brenneke's much faster and safer by avoiding the double curve on the main road. 2. this condo's wifi is the free one for the complex - easy to find. I was worried as it only had 2 wifi bars and I had a video conference - but early in the morning it went smoothly without any buffering. 3. there are a lot of signs in the condo, in the guestbook, via email, via text, on the property, on the office door, and eventually on your windshield about the importance of registering your vehicle and how to do so on the weekend. However - despite all attemps to comply - we never were able to get a parking pass even though w kept getting scary window fliers until the office opened on Monday - Don't sweat it too much. Never saw anyone's vehicle booted or towed despite many cars having the lovely fliers.

Stayed here around a week for our baby moon. The location is incredible - breathtaking views, walking distance to amazing beaches, and a great staging area if you plan to drive around the island. Nothing like having a coffee on the balcony, watching the sunrise and seeing some whale spouts in the distance and turtles swimming in the water below. I’m ready to go back!

This place is right above the coastline and you hear the waves crashing as you fall asleep at night. The beds are super comfortable too. The pool has great view and the waves occasionally splash up on the deck of the pool which we thought was awesome to see and hear also. We saw turtles everyday from the balcony. The location was great with easy parking, and was within walking distance of the beach, boogie boarding and a few restaurants and shops. The sunsets were great to watch from the balcony every evening.

This property is truly all about its location. I think it had one of the best views within the condo complex. Right on the water, we watched the sea turtles ALL THE TIME. Beautiful sunrises in the morning , the moon on the water at night and watching the turtles in between, I simply couldn’t ask for anything more. Nice kitchen, comfy beds, ocean sounds while we slept. All perfect.
There is some room for improvement however. The couch is tiny and not very comfortable. It is a two bedroom after all but no way can 4 adults stay there, maybe a child or 2 but that’s it.It also would have been nice to have a tv in at least one of the bedrooms. Again, it is a two bedroom with only one television in the whole place. And sometimes it’s nice to lie in bed and watch something. Plenty of mirrors all around, no need for one on the dresser too.
The thing that truly bothered us was the fact that there were renovations going on in the condo above us. Very loud renovations. And although we understand that this is a necessity it would have been nice to be given a heads up about it. And if the owner / manager wasn’t aware either then he should have addressed the issue when I emailed him about it. No one answered me. An apology and some sort of acknowledgment of the disturbance with a discount or a gift of some sort would have been greatly appreciated.
All in all honestly no regrets, I would book it again if we ever return.

Had a great stay at Poipu Shores. The views are stunning, the pool is great, and the location is perfect for a short walk to the beach. Seeing turtles everyday was a highlight :)

The condo was exactly as expected. The pictures are a good representation and the unit was very clean. The only negative is that the living room sliding door does not lock however there is a stick in the door to keep it secure. The view is amazing!

The main benefit is the striking location literally over crashing waves. You can sit on the large balcony at night and ponder eternity as the stars meet the ocean. Both bedrooms are spacious but the one shared bathroom is tiny with no space for toiletries.The pool is ok and the beaches are within walking distance. Would repeat

The condo was welcoming, and the bed was super comfy. The main reason for staying here is THE VIEW! Wow! Waves crashing, turtles just below us, whales spouting and breaching out on the water---the location is easy to get around to other parts of the island but we always were excited to get back to the lanai! Mahalo!

This is a very unique property and that it has two ocean front bedrooms. The property manager was fantastic. The air conditioner had to be fixed two times, and both times it was taken care of the same day. We would definitely stay here again. My wife loved watching the turtles from the balcony. This is a good unit for a couple.

The view is gorgeous! Beyond the view and location it wasn't what we expected. I understand when you stay that close to the ocean the salt water does damage to anything outside on the lanai and creates more dust, but the amount of salty dust everywhere in the condo made me feel dirty. The bathroom is the biggest disappointment to the unit. It is the size of my 1/2 bath at home and the sink does not have room to even put a hairbrush on the side of it. Anything you need to use at the sink or in front of the mirror will have to be layed onto the closed toilet seat. Not fun. The shower had a continual loud drip (small stream). I noticed others had put this in their review so for some reason they are choosing not to fix it which is causing a huge amount of mold and mildew buildup in the shower. The drip is so bad that the bar of soap hanging from the soap holder completely melted from the dripping faucet. Needs to be fixed! We had a very bad experience with getting a parking pass, due to the fact our flight arrived on a Friday night and the office on premises is closed until Monday. When we tried to discuss this on their arrival on Monday, they were very hateful and not willing to help or listen to the complaint that we had been given a reminder on our vehicle, even though they were closed. This is not the same company that is renting out this unit, but they are who you have to work with in person, on premises. We will not be back to this location because of this experience.

This condo has excellent marketing - but sadly our expectations weren't met. The view is outstanding, the location is great and the property amenities were wonderful. However this unit was wildly outdated and had several issues. The shower was impossible to turn out without getting soaked, it leaked/dripped when off and the shower curtain had mold. The floors were so dirty that our feet quickly turned black on the bottom. The AC units are old, rattled and loud. They threw out debris on the deck and all over the lounge chairs making so you couldn't use them. The kitchen didn't have the basics- especially anything we could use for door storage such as foil, plastic wrap or Tupperware. The fridge opened in the wrong direction which sounds silly but made it quite challenging to get in and out of.
We paid a lot of money and we're quite disappointed in the quality of this condo.

We enjoyed the views and sounds of the surf. We saw many green turtles down below the pool near the rocks too! We also saw some migrating whales in the distance, about 1/2 mile from shore. Very cool! Restaurants and stores were convenient too.
