This place is great. We really enjoyed our stay. The beach & pool were a great combo. The location is central to the entire accessible island. Some of the furniture needs addressing, as the coffee table and the living room recliner both seemed to be a little sketch.

The place is absolute incredible with breathtaking views. My wife and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary so we had an abundance of space which is priceless since we never have more than a few inches of space when we are home with our toddler boys. I truly don’t understand how anyone could give less than 5 stars staying here, it is the nicest place my wife and I have ever stayed and probably ever will.
The ocean views are straight out of a movie or dream.
Only constructive feedback I would give is there wasn’t any personal touch from the management company, we felt like a number not a guest from a private owner of the property.
Maybe it’s the new reality of VRBO as my wife and I don’t get to travel much but we were just accustomed to previous stays where the owners sending us the check in instructions a couple days prior, not two months which went to my junk mail so we were waiting at the property for two hours before we got into our room on the 4th of July. Also there was no flexibility on a late check out, even an hour.
Overall, still an amazing property, highly recommend. Just for my wife and I in the future, we will stay away from management company’s with lots of multiple properties owned to avoid feeling like this again, just a number and not a valued guest in their own home. Mahola!

We had a great time. The pool is fantastic. The place is large enough for the family to have plenty of room. Would recommend.

We booked this property so we could easily access both the south and north shore. The unit was clean and well taken care of. I think it could use some decor upgrades to lighten it up and make it more "beach" airy. It was little dark and old fashion. However, that is a personal aesthetic opinion. The size of the unit was very functional for a family. The pool was very nice to have for the kids after a day at the beach, the slides were a huge bonus. The gym was a nice size and had the right equipment to get a quick workout in. It was great to have a grocery store across the street. If you are looking for lots of beach and more of a "resort" feel, this isn't the same as the Grand Hyatt or places like that. But, that wasn't important to us as we planned to not be on the property much, rather out exploring. Overall, we would recommend it for anyone looking for a central location to stay while on vacation.

4.5 Location is great. The resort is very nice. Communications with the management company was very good and they were very responsive to issues. The unit itself was very nice and spacious. However, there were a few maintenance issues. The furniture was aged and somewhat uncomfortable. Bed was comfortable though. Kitchen was large and well appointed. Lanai was too small for the table and chairs (setting for six) and those chairs were uncomfortable. Would have been 5 rating but it was at a premium rate and didn’t quite meet expectations.

We stayed for 8 days during spring break, the view is phenomenal! The condo is nice but a few little things kept it from 5 stars. The shower was clogged when we got there but the management company was amazing and fixed it within hours of us calling! The king bed is very hard, and I prefer a firm mattress, but I woke up with my hips and back hurting everyday. The sliding glass door in the main room is very difficult to open all the way and the screens on all the sliding doors are ripped and the parts that aren’t ripped are difficult to see through. There is beach equipment for use, which is so convenient, but the umbrella is broken beyond use and the ties that keep the chairs closed during transport are gone causing the chairs to open while carrying them. I would definitely stay here again but these are some of the little picky things that lost it a star for me.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Waipouli Resort. The condo was very clean, higher-end, and well-stocked in the kitchen and with beach stuff. I loved the view of the ocean from the porch. The resort itself was perfect. The pool and hot tubs were great. And the cocktails were fabulous. We spent almost 2 days of our week, hanging at the resort and walking/running along the ocean pathway. My kids loved running across the street to the grocery to get snacks. AC was a game changer for these southerners! Check-in and check-out was super easy and communication was excellent. Highly recommend this unit!

As a family of 5 (3 kids 21,21,18) this 2 bedroom was perfect! It was exactly as the pictures depicted. The view was breathtaking. The unit was very clean and had everything needed for our 6 night stay. The fitness center was WAY nicer than expected, which made my daughter very happy. The pool was beautiful. Everything was well maintained. The Safeway across the street was very convenient to walk to. We had a minor issue with our thermostat needing to be replaced. My husband called when we left for the day and they had it replaced by the time we returned-huge thumbs up there! There was a closet full of beach accessories. We didn't use any, but it was so nice that it was available. Along with starter everything :TP, dish soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, full sized hair dryers (which I was thankful for since I forgot mine in the hotel on Oahu) If there were any downsides it would be the pullout sofa. One daughter always sleeps on for trips. She refused-it was terrible, especially after coming from the best pullout she said she has slept on. With 5 adults we always travel with a blow-up mattress and there were 3 beds in this unit, so it worked out fine. The amount of traffic in front of the resort was much busier than I was expecting. However it did not affect our stay or anything pertaining to our room itself as this building is at the back, closest to and facing the ocean. Loved the key pad entrances. It was SO nice not to need or keep track of card keys for 5 people. I would absolutely recommend this resort and unit to anyone asking.

The grounds were well maintained but the two bedroom suite needed drastic upgrades. There was no door handle on the second bedroom. The beds were too old, not comfortable, the carpet was very old, dirty, needed to be replaced (ceramic tile for beach accommodation would be better, the recliner and couch were broken, couldn’t open the door to the sub zero fridge without two hands, would be extremely hard for kids or 80 year olds to open. The grounds and hotel areas were lovely but the suite, it wasn’t worth the $12,000.00 Cdn for two weeks we paid for it.

We loved this property! It’s clean and spacious with working appliances. The patio has a gorgeous view of the sunrise. It was perfect for our family of 5. It is walking distance to groceries, coffee (Colab/Starbucks), and food options as well as close to the pool/fitness center. Highly recommend the on-site restaurant, “Oasis,” with farm fresh/local food that will amaze and delight. The manager catered to allergies and even made sure the little one’s food came out first, as requested. We booked an excursion for the Nepali Coast through the affiliated concierge and it was magical. All around a great experience where we would be delighted to stay again.

Good things: The view is spectacular. Gorgeous sunrises! The grounds are well-cared for. The pool is amazing (love the lazy river concept). The condo has a nice kitchen with great appliances. Great hot water.
Not so good things: Air Conditioner leaks (condensation). 1/2 bath and guest bath door handles broken. Patio/Lanai screens won't open due to salt corrosion. Guest bathroom toilet leaks (i.e., won't stop running). Recliner in living room broken. Portable fan that was supplied wouldn't work. Carpet needs cleaning. Sofabed very uncomfortable (matress needs replacing). Staff at the facility was not the friendliest.
Overall, would recommend owners update, considering the price. The property is wonderful, otherwise.

We enjoyed our stay in this unit; the kitchen was great and very well stocked with pots, pans, knives, coffee maker, blender, etc. We also found salt, pepper and a few other essentials. The views are excellent, the unit was quiet, the appliances are in great shape, and there are plenty of beach chairs and equipment to use. There are a few items that could use some minor repair (and a few extra blankets would be nice) but it's overall a really nice place to stay, and the location is central to just about everything.
It was really easy to communicate with the PM re text with any issues and about check in/check out.
FYI, the pool was cold, and the people working at the pool are unusually strict with everything, but that's no fault of the PM of this unit.

The Condo was nice, clean and well kept. It is well located, and gave easy access to both ends of the island.

It made this particular unit worth every penny we paid for it.

The good: Location, location, location! First, this is oceanfront with a perfect view. The water is crystal clear. We had sea turtles in the water, monk seals on the beach, amazing snorkeling and tidepooling, the pool was great, the central location to all sides of the island was fantastic, we walked to the coconut market most days, the nearby restaurants were our favorite ones on the entire island, and there is a great grocery store across the street! Our favorite restuarant was Monico's (Mexican). Hukilau, also close by, is fantastic but you will want a reservation in advance. The onsite restaurant is okay. There was live music some days which was fun for pool time. We cooked breakfast daily and ate on the balcony and did our laundry which was great. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, etc in the closet for us to use.The not as good: The ice maker gave us fits and the toilet paper holder in one of the bath rooms was broken and one of the bathtub drains wouldn't stay shut. Those were little things in comparison to overall though. You need shoes for the ocean there. But you can easily drive to other beaches if you want. I recommend visiting beaches all around Kauai! We loved experiencing different ones as they all have something a little different to offer. Check out "secret beach"-google it. If you want to adventure go to Shipwreck beack in Poipu.

Waipouli G404 provided everything we needed during our stay in Kapaa! With amazing ocean views from the main living area as well as both bedrooms, we were able to enjoy the ocean breeze and sounds of the waves day and night. The well stocked kitchen provided everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. As some reviewers have mentioned, the A/C wasn’t the strongest and there are a few signs of wear and tear. However, we were quite comfortable and would not hesitate to stay here again!

Loved the property, we stayed in G-404 which in our opinion was the best building for full views of ocean throughout the entire condo. Both bedrooms open up with sliding doors to hear & see the ocean as well as one in the living area you can see the ocean while cooking in the kitchen! Nice layout large furniture seems a bit much for the space but comfy. Negative Notes:There were only a couple of things no trash bags at all. The Concierge Service was not helpful at all! We were there celebrating our 43rd anniversary & our daughter tried calling to arrange for a delivery of Champagne as a surprise & no one would help nor even answer the phone when she finally reached someone they never returned her call! We also requested a later check out for this special occasion since their check out time is 10:am at the time of booking & we’re told they couldn’t offer that either! Kauai is our favorite island but they need to step up their customer service.

The first night was great. But the next morning when we left the condo, we followed instructions to turn the air down and it was never the same after that. We made sure the doors were shut tight. It took about 2 hours for the rooms to get down to a comfortable temp and every night we slept with no covers on because it was too hot. Seems like the air needs to be checked. We were afraid to leave our sliders open even for a little bit becuse it took so long to get the rooms back to a comfortable temp. Also, I see no reason that the kids can't use a kid-sized floaty ring in the pool and I even saw a man sipping a soda at 10 in the morning get reprimanded and told to take his beverage out. The pool was too strict this time making it kid and family-unfriendly. Also, it would be nice if the landscapers with their mowers and blowers could work around the pool hours. We used the pool exactly 1x during our stay. :(

The view was incredible to wake up to each day and enjoy. The condo is located close to grocery stores and is in a nice central location on the island.

Absolutely loved our vacation experience at the Waipouli Beach Resort! It was first-class, luxury all the way! The property was everything you said it would be and the condo had everything we needed. Both were well maintained and had all the amenities advertised. The pool and beach areas were beautiful and even though it's not a swimming beach it was calm enough to actually get in one of the days but it is very rocky. The property is centrally located on the island about an hour to Princeville and 45 min to Poipu--great for making day trips anywhere on the island. We toured the Waimea Canyon, did the Koloa Zipline, took the zodiac ride with Kauai Sea Tours of the Napali Coast, deep sea fishing with Happy Hunters, paddle boarding on the Wailua River, and the Kalamaku Luau. Next trip we will do more on the North Shore. Safeway is right across the street making cooking in your condo a breeze. If you'd rather eat out there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. You can also find shopping close by at Coconut Grove or Kapaa. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a first-class family property on the beach. We will definitely be back again. Here are some of our favorite restaurants: Bobby V's Pizza (next door), Sushi Bushido and Olympic Grill in Kapaa, Hukilau lani (Coconut Grove), The Dolphin and Keoki's Paradise (Poipu), Kalapaki Joe's Waimea

This unit is on the top floor of the G building. The G building does not have any view obstructions, which is very nice. There is a natural preserve which gives the view a more Kauai waterfront feel to it. The grounds are well kept the landscapers were around making sure everything looks perfect. The pool, hot tubs, workout facility, BBQs were all in very great condition. The location is central for Kappa and Foodland/Safeway is right across the street. If you needed activity information Expedia Local Expert was down in the main lobby to guide you. The unit itself was amazing, it was fully stocked with all the cooking needs, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were large and very well designed. The TV’s in unit were all hooked up with DVD players. I really can’t say enough good things about this unit. The only issue I had was with the AC thermostat that when I left I would try to turn it off and would get stuck in Fan mode and was not turning off. To conserve energy I would suggest a new smart thermostat like nest or Honeywell. Loved our week there wish I could have stayed longer. The ReMax team is great and accommodated our late checkout. Mahalo!

Overall, we had a very positive experience. The location of the unit is great, with a beautiful view of the grounds directly below and the ocean just beyond. Perfect spot for sunrise in the morning. We enjoyed having the windows open and listening to the calming ocean during the night and having the more busy poolside on the other side of the building. The unit was well-equipped with all that we needed. Our kids really enjoyed the pools,and it was nice to have the pool/spas available after coming back to the resort after a long day's adventure. Having a restaurant/bar onsite that was beachfrong was a great feature. The location of the resort worked at well, as we spent equal amounts of time to the south (Poipu) and north (Princeville/Hanalei) and therefore never had too long a drive. My critique is that the hideaway bed used by my kids was very uncomfortable and two springs were missing causing a corner of the bed to collapse. Also, the lanai is fairly cramped and when sitting in the chairs the railing is at eye level, obstructing the view a bit.

The property was in a great location (half way between Poipu and Princeville);the view was what was promised;the unit was spacious, clean, well equipped and had nice furnature and decor; the pool area was beautiful and the pool was always clean. The restaurant onsite was so convenient and had a good menu.

We really had a great experience staying at the condo located in the Waipouli Resort room G-404. The views were fantastic from the lanai and the sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep most evenings when there was a breeze. The condo was in good shape and offered us and our guests all the convenience of home. If there is one improvement I would make it would be the installation of ceiling fans in each bedroom. On the evenings when there was not enough cool air from the outside and we needed to operate the air conditioning the rooms became stuffy and uncomfortable. We enjoyed watching the whales jumping in the ocean which we could see clearly from our lanai. Being on the top floor looking out to sea spared us the noise from the pool area. Viewing the sunrise from the lanai with a cup of coffee was the best way to start the day. We would not have a problem recommending the room to others.

This unit is fantastic for any couples / families who want to be on a resort, but still have the feel of privacy and quiet space. This unit faces directly to the East side of the island allowing for beautiful sunrises to be seen (although cloudy at times). My wife and I would definitely rent this unit again without a doubt!

There were roaches inside the apartment and it wasn't because of us; we saw them the first night we go there. When we called the emergency phone numbers we were given, we were told by the people on the other end that they do not work with the company we rented the apartment from. It was very odd. The beds and the apartment were very dusty.

We have stayed at this property several times, but we were a little disappointed this time. Generally I'd say that some things have not been attended to. Missing simple things like a can opener and a cookie sheet. TV was not working, but they did take care of that. Overall I'd say the place could use a little TLC. The lighting in the master is one lamp. They were very inflexible on check in and check out times. Overall for the price we are paying to stay here I was not completely satisfied. I'll certainly look at other options next time. With that said, the view is great and the grounds are well maintained.

The condo was clean and comfortable for my family of four. We enjoyed the ocean view and being able to walk out to the beach for morning sunrises. I wish the Oasis restaurant was open more. They were no longer serving breakfast or lunch. We had dinner there our last night and it was the best meal we had all week. We regret not eating there earlier so we could go back again!!

We’ve stayed at the resort prior and absolutely love the Kapaa area! The room’s view is amazing. Couple negatives, other rooms on the resort have actual curtains, black out and shear, which are amazing to still allow the ocean breeze and privacy. This room had another form of shade, not a curtain which was not as nice unless you had the lanai doors closed. And to that topic, many of the lanai screens were unable to open/close or were missing all together. Major disappointment as we love opening the doors and not using AC so we can enjoy the waves and the wonderful temps. Overall it’s still a great room, the two master suites were wonderful for our group of four.

Our first time staying at the Waipouli Resort, we were drawn to G404 as the view of the ocean was exactly what we were looking for. Three separate Lani’s allow for specular views of the ocean, migrating whales, grounds below and most memorable sunrises.
The unit was clean and spacious, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals, the beds were comfortable and the two master bathrooms were spacious and large.
There are four beach chairs, two boogie boards and a small cooler supplied and were used daily.
There were a couple of maintenance issues but after making a call to the property manager things were taken care of the following day.
As previously mentioned in other reviews there are issues with the furniture; the recliner is broken and cannot be used, the property manager stated parts are on order. It’s old and broken, it needs to be replaced, not repaired. The couch is just as old as the recliner and is uncomfortable to sit on.
I would definitely rent this unit again (once the furniture is replaced).

My husband and I have stayed at the Waipouli Resort for vacation the past 11 years and have enjoyed our stay. The G404 room is exactly what you see in the picture, the view is spectacular. The only complaint we had is the furniture (chair) was broken and the couch was very uncomfortable, possibly worn out. The unit was clean and the kitchen well stocked with utensils and cookware. The beach amenities were great to have also!

Really enjoyed staying at this condo and the resort. Stayed for several days over Christmas. The view and cleanliness is impeccable. Unable to eat at the restaurant so recommend making reservations in advance. Looked wonderful.
The only downside is the furniture is really worn out. The recliner was completely broken when we arrived and the mattresses should probably be replaced. Overall would stay there again.

We’ve taken family vacations to Kauai 10+ times and always stayed in Poipu, but we decided to branch out to Waipouli this time for a different experience. It was awesome! The sunrise was gorgeous every morning and we could watch (coffee in hand) by simply opening the sliding doors of the unit. The view was top notch and we were right next to the beach. The Waipouli resort and pool area (with slides for the kids) and daily towel service were fun and luxurious. The unit was spacious and comfortable too. The TVs need to be upgraded as does the recliner seat but not a big issue. We loved the proximity to both north shore and Poipu and the Safeway, shops, and restaurants just nearby made food logistics a snap. A perfect vacation with our 2 kids.

Condo was very nice, clean and well-maintained. Basic supplies were provided. Plenty of towels. Beach was lovely and not crowded. Lots of space on the sand in the sun and under trees that provide shade. There were spots to enter the water through the rocks. I was told snorkeling was good way out by an offshore reef but it was too challenging for me to reach it. The pool and hot tubs were nice. Sometimes a little crowded and the adults only hot tub rules were not always enforced. We had happy hour drinks and a very good meal at the Oasis restaurant. Service was outstanding. We liked this location. Plenty of good restaurants and stores nearby. We recommend the Lemongrass Grill for seafood too. We did a boat and snorkel tour of the Napali Coast out of Port Allen thru Holo Holo Charters. Great trip but best done outside of the winter months. We were lucky to have good conditions in November. Overall we loved our stay on Kauai at the Waipouli Beach Resort!

This is the most beautiful condo! Incredible ocean views from every room. Loved sleeping to the sound of waves. I didn't even realize that the unit had A/C as the ocean breeze kept us perfectly cool.There may have been something in the water or possible everyone was so excited to be able to vacation, but all other guests were so friendly. I was vacationing with my grandkids, so the Safeway across the street was convenient for breakfasts and lunches. The pool with slides was a big hit with my grandkids but the lazy river was a lazy, lazy river as it did not have a current but the waterfalls made up for it. I loved Kapaa and prefer it to either Princeville or Poipu.The unit was beautifully furnished and had everything you might ever need. Really enjoyed Smith Famiy Gardens. We went 3 times,to the gardens, the boat ride up the river and to the Luau. Finally tried stand up paddle boarding and loved it. Ate at Saimin Dojo which was different and Lemongrass. I will definitely stay here again.

Property was nice beautiful room except the AC did not cool the unit. We rarely felt any cool air even though our other 2 family’s renting units had great AC. Microwave was broken and a small rental unit was placed on counter but was not sufficient to meet our needs. Are the the Oasis restaurant food and drinks were not good.
No poolside service yet for drinks or food.
Traffic in the area is horrendous. Took us over 30 minutes to travel less then a mile up the road.
Safeway store across the street has pretty bare shelf’s one day and ice can’t be found on the island.

Our family of four loved this rental! The ocean view is perfect and unobstructed. We enjoyed mornings watching the sun rise from the lanai. It is a quiet location in the resort but a quick walk over to the pool and restaurant. Condo had everything we needed, including beach chairs. Microwave/stove light needs to be replaced and there were a few other lightbulbs out in the unit, but nothing that hindered our vacation. Island location was great, centrally located for the drive to north or south shore.

We received excellent check-in entry information by email and were able to arrive and go right into the apartment. A concern due to an unfinished bed, lack of bath towels and wash clothes, and a stack of linens by the washer dryer was immediately remedied. A message was left by phone to the customer service number. After calling we left the apartment several hours and returned to find all concerns addressed and a sincere apology. The managers caring for the apt were called away due to a death in the family. The next day we found a dessert and wine left for us. The remainder of the stay was excellent. Parking was easy, location great, view from balconies fantastic. The room was clean, beautifully appointed and furniture was attractive and comfortable. We were sorry we had such a short time to spend here. I would return in a heartbeat. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Absolutely loved our vacation experience at the Waipouli Beach Resort! It was first-class, luxury all the way! The property was everything you said it would be and the condo had everything we needed. Both were well maintained and had all the amenities advertised. The pool and beach areas were beautiful and even though it's not a swimming beach it was calm enough to actually get in one of the days but it is very rocky. The property is centrally located on the island about an hour to Princeville and 45 min to Poipu--great for making day trips anywhere on the island. We toured the Waimea Canyon, did the Koloa Zipline, took the zodiac ride with Kauai Sea Tours of the Napali Coast, deep sea fishing with Happy Hunters, paddle boarding on the Wailua River, and the Kalamaku Luau. Next trip we will do more on the North Shore. Safeway is right across the street making cooking in your condo a breeze. If you'd rather eat out there are plenty of good restaurants nearby. You can also find shopping close by at Coconut Grove or Kapaa. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a first-class family property on the beach. We will definitely be back again. Here are some of our favorite restaurants: Bobby V's Pizza (next door), Sushi Bushido and Olympic Grill in Kapaa, Hukilau lani (Coconut Grove), The Dolphin and Keoki's Paradise (Poipu), Kalapaki Joe's Waimea

Overall, we had a very positive experience. The location of the unit is great, with a beautiful view of the grounds directly below and the ocean just beyond. Perfect spot for sunrise in the morning. We enjoyed having the windows open and listening to the calming ocean during the night and having the more busy poolside on the other side of the building. The unit was well-equipped with all that we needed. Our kids really enjoyed the pools,and it was nice to have the pool/spas available after coming back to the resort after a long day's adventure. Having a restaurant/bar onsite that was beachfrong was a great feature. The location of the resort worked at well, as we spent equal amounts of time to the south (Poipu) and north (Princeville/Hanalei) and therefore never had too long a drive. My critique is that the hideaway bed used by my kids was very uncomfortable and two springs were missing causing a corner of the bed to collapse. Also, the lanai is fairly cramped and when sitting in the chairs the railing is at eye level, obstructing the view a bit.

This unit is on the top floor of the G building. The G building does not have any view obstructions, which is very nice. There is a natural preserve which gives the view a more Kauai waterfront feel to it. The grounds are well kept the landscapers were around making sure everything looks perfect. The pool, hot tubs, workout facility, BBQs were all in very great condition. The location is central for Kappa and Foodland/Safeway is right across the street. If you needed activity information Expedia Local Expert was down in the main lobby to guide you. The unit itself was amazing, it was fully stocked with all the cooking needs, the beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were large and very well designed. The TV’s in unit were all hooked up with DVD players. I really can’t say enough good things about this unit. The only issue I had was with the AC thermostat that when I left I would try to turn it off and would get stuck in Fan mode and was not turning off. To conserve energy I would suggest a new smart thermostat like nest or Honeywell. Loved our week there wish I could have stayed longer. The ReMax team is great and accommodated our late checkout. Mahalo!
