This unit has amazing views of the ocean and we enjoyed being on the ground floor with easy access to the outdoors. The location is great and close by to Brennecke's and Poipu beaches. The unit is really well equipped and comfortable for our family of 4. We had an amazing stay and hope to return in the future!

This unit was perfect for our family. The kitchen was well stocked and all appliances worked perfectly. Beach chairs, umbrella and cooler were appreciated. We enjoyed time in the pool and watching the many sea turtles and spinner dolphins. The walk to Brenekes Beach was so easy. We're considering staying a fourth night next year on our annual Kauai trip.

We had an incredible stay here in Kauai! The property was well-kept, centrally located, and featured incredible views. The unit itself was spacious and fully loaded. The hosts are even kind enough to provide beach chairs, towels, and snorkel gear (the list goes on).
We loved seeing the sea turtles make their way on to the beach nearby in the afternoons. It is a must-see for anyone else in the area.
We would absolutely book with these hosts again. 10/10!

This home had everything we needed for our 7 day trip to Kauai. The location provides amazing views of the ocean and abundant sea turtles. Its proximity to local beaches was great. We cooked almost every night and enjoyed the beautiful sunset from the lanai.

This place is spectacular. Not a better view on the island. The location is perfect to navigate around. This unit has beach chairs, towels, washer and dryer. As a vacationer the beach chairs were key. We could explore the island and stop on a beach and sit comfortably.

If you want to hear the crashing of the ocean waves, this is a great property. It was also extremely well-stocked. Probably one of the best stocked vacation rentals that we have stayed at. It was a little small for our family of 2 adults, 3 boys (22,19, 17), however we made it work with supplied self inflating air mattresses. The pool is lovely, and there was always sea turtles in the little bay below the pool. This unit also has a/c and a dehumidifier, so that works out great for the south shore. Very close to nice beaches.

Perfect for our family stay. Beautiful view, right on the water. Quiet stay, felt like a family vacation home complete with all the amenities like snorkel gear, books on reef fish, Hawaiian names and meanings, etc. walking distance to great beaches and some restaurants. Loved the AC on warmer days.

I stayed with my husband and his grandparents for four nights. We throughly enjoyed our stay! Nothing can beat the view of wildlife right from the lanai or the stargazing from the grass. We saw so many turtles and dolphins and our upstairs neighbors reported seeing a humpback whale breach. Although you cannot get in the water from this location the beach is just a 10min walk away. I really loved being able to sit on the grass and enjoy the ocean views. My grandparents were very comfortable although it is a little difficult to access for anyone with less mobility (steep parking lot, gravel walk way, there are elevators but still need to traverse walkway and parking lot to access them). This did not detract from my rating of the property, bringing it up here as info for anyone who needs to consider accessibility. The condo itself was very clean and comfortable, exactly as pictured. We were also subject to a thunderstorm and flood watch during our stay. The power went out for several hours in the middle of the night causing WiFi to be down for the remainder of our stay. Despite this, the location experienced no flooding or lasting issues despite the amount of rain (we witnessed other areas becoming severely flooded). The appliances felt brand new and the kitchen was very well equipped (better than other stays I have had). Overall I would definitely stay again if I am ever back visiting Kauai!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful stay! The condo was perfect as you could sit out on the Lanai and enjoy the unobstructed view of the ocean. My boys played around on the lanai and enjoyed the beautiful pool that sits of the cliff overlooking the ocean below. We could see turtles swimming as well. The Brennecke Beach is a very short walk from the property and we saw a TON of boogie boarders enjoying the small enclosed area. Our family enjoyed the included unlimited use and easy access to Poipu Beach Athletic Club. The al fresca gym was AMAZING! There is a pool there too! The kitchen was well equipped, we didn't use it as much as we thought we would, but if you like to cook on vacation, it's great! The sliding door had some rusted degradation on the locking mechanism latch. I called the managment and they got back to us right away. We ended up using a dowel to secure it "locked" when we were away or at night. It's a pretty safe area, but I'm sure the maintenance will address it upon our departure. The rooms are very clean and spacious. We did utilize the queen sized inflatable mattress for a 3rd bed. The first mattress I found had a rip in it but I was alerted that there was a recently purchased one, which I found in another closet that worked great! They have beach supplies. The bathrooms were well equipped with toiletries and kleenex/toilet paper. We will definitely come back again. It was a GREAT LOCATION and a PERFECT place to enjoy Kauai!!!!

We enjoyed staying on the 1st floor at Poipu Shores giving us access to the green area in front of the condo. It made for easy access to the pool as well. The condo is advertised for up to 6 people, which is why we chose it. I would stay that it is a big stretch as the air mattress use requred moving the dining table and chairs and the coffee table and then created inaccessible access from the primary bedrooom through the living room when it was out and up. Plus, in order to use the air mattress, it needed to be blown up and taken down after each use. There is nowhere to store it as it's inflated. Our party of 5 made it work by putting 3 people in the king size bed. Not ideal, but it made it less inconvenient for us than dealing with the limitations of the air mattress. We were 2 adults with 3 teenagers. I would not recommend this condo for a party of more than 4 people. The kitchen is well equipped and the lanai is great. The pool was nicer than we'd hoped with ample seating and shade via umbrellas. It was a quiet locaiton. Excellent air conditioning throughout and no musty smells as we've experienced in other Hawaiian condos. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. This being our 2nd time in Hawaii, we know that somethings are on island time, so requests took a little longer than we'd have liked, but were addressed sufficiently.

My wife and I loved this place. The apartment was clean, had an epic view from the Lanai (we saw spinner dolphins jumping and even multiple humpback whales breaching directly from the seats!). The AC helped and the dehumidifier made a huge difference with the humid environment, definitely a plus. We very much enjoyed the full kitchen and the views the most. Location was amazing too, with the side gate walk to Poipu Beach making it very accessible for turtle viewing and snorkling!! Definitely enjoyed Kalapaki Joe's happy hour, walking from here! Thanks!

The location is superb! The property was nice and the AC worked great! We loved our stay there. The only thing that wasn’t clear in the description was that the third bed was a blow up mattress. It ended up working out for us since it was still comfortable as we did have to use it for bed space. Since it wasn’t a deal breaker, we would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was clean and comfortable and well appointed. The bedrooms were a reasonable size and the bathrooms were too. This condo is on the lower level so our unit opened up right onto a grassy lawn and the ocean was just beyond! The waves here are amazing and the sound is then crashing onto the lava rocks is just magnificent! The location is very convenient to town and we felt very safe. The parking spaces are small - no surprise in Hawaii - but they get the job done unless other rude condo guests park across a line, which happened a couple times. Ugh. The resort does have an elevator which is handy for getting your luggage where it needs to go and it has a very nice pool. There was some confusion about us getting a parking pass for our car - the resort needs to update their email and printed information for getting a pass when checking in after hours. But that was a minor thing that was corrected. We loved it here!

Poipu Shores 103A offers EVERYTHING one needs for a visit to beautiful Kauai! No need to pack anything but clothes, bathing suits, and essentials like meds. Body wash, shampoo, conditioner, etc were all provided, as well as assorted sunscreens left behind by previous guests. There are beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and even a cooler provided for day trips. (Pack light! We brought way too many clothes and unnecessary toiletry items!!) The Tempupedic adjustable bed was wonderful at the end of our daily exploration adventures! We also loved the waves crashing on the rocks right outside our unit and were able to take in both sunrises and sunsets from the thick plush lawn outside our door. A beautiful beach is a short walk from this unit, which is also a plus. What a beautiful place to celebrate our 51st anniversary!!!

It was also walking distance to Brennecke’s beach, which was very convenient.

The actual condo was just fine, nothing special about it (although the air conditioning worked really well) but it is a 5 star location for the property and the location. The views from the condo and pool are worth the price. We saw turtles every day from the pool and whales almost every day from our porch. Big waves crashing against the rocks all day as well. The condo was just a short 5 minute walk to 2 different beaches and there are safe and easily accessible running locations which has not been my experience on other Islands. Would definitely come back.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. The views of the ocean from inside, the outdoor area with table and the pool were wonderful. This condo is close to the beaches and restaurants. The check in process was pretty smooth, but we had a situation with the parking pass since we checked in on a Saturday after the office closed. We had a notice on our car the next day and had to kind of worry about our vehicle not being towed since we couldn’t get a parking pass until Monday. Then on Monday the office manager told us that they didn’t receive our reservation information from them and to let them know that they needed it. It’s just something you don’t want to have to deal with while on vacation. If the parking pass was just included in the welcome envelope or maybe left inside for use while there or would have made things easier. We were also confused by the check in directions stating to get a key from a “lock box” when I couldn’t find one and yes I looked for one by the office. After we got the parking pass everything was smooth sailing. Definitely recommend this property.

Apartment 103A at Poipu Shores was an absolute delight to stay at during our time in Kaua'i. The views from the lanai were dreamworthy; the apartment clean and tidy; both the kitchen store cupboard and beach supplies were very well stocked which was hugely appreciated and the air conditioning was a godsend and certainly helped us to sleep well. Po'ipu Beach is only a few minutes walk away and is absolutely worth a visit at dusk to watch the turtles come up to the beach for the night. A beautiful place to stay.

We had a wonderful time at PS 103A. The owners stock the place with everything you need as a home away from home. The views are phenomenal and it’s a five minute walk to Brennekes Beach. The AC was key and the bed always amazing.
I wish the process for the parking pass was a little easier because there was no way to get one and we did get a notice on our car. Just call the maintenance and they will take good care of you. Additionally, I wish there was a notice for all units to respect the space of others because we had families running all over the grass area in front of our place and moved their furniture out in front. It’s a shared space so you would think people would be more respectful. We were traveling with our kids as well, although older, we would not let them take away from other’s experience.
I definitely recommend this place.

The location is amazing. Water crashing on the rocks just steps away from the property and pool. There were turtles everywhere in the water and saw spinner dolphins a few times from the patio. Easy walk to a few beaches.The unit had a well stocked kitchen, beach chairs, cooler and towels. I couldn't find any BBQ utensils besides an old rusted spatula.The unit was clean and well decorated. I was disappointed with the electronic services. The WiFi is shared for the entire building so things like a chromecast won't work and the internet came to a crawl in the evening when everyone was home. Also the cable TV was snowy and not HD.The unit is tight w/o much extra space. We had 5 in our party which I wouldn't recommend since the only place to put the blow up mattress is in the living space and required us to move things around each day. 4 people would be fine.The back bedroom windows open to the outside hallway which can be loud with either people or the very loud sprinklers that run every morning around 5am. All in all a great unit and I would happily recommend to a friend given the caveats above.

The sound of the waves all night long, the beautiful sunsets, the turtles viewed from the pool deck, and the general location make these condos hard to top! Christine and Vickie from the management company were absolutely amazing! The welcome champagne and chilled glasses was also very welcoming - especially after a long flight from the East Coast.Huge plus for this unit is the ground floor which makes it very easy to walk out to the grass (kids loved to play there) and to the pool. The unit also has really great beach chairs and umbrellas as well as a cooler. It is also in walking distance to Poipu Beach (though they have plenty of parking)- which had the best snorkeling of all 8 beaches we visited all over the island, at least at the time we visited. The general location is excellent for everything.My only complaint is that I expected the unit to be cleaner than it was. There was quite a bit of visible dust, particularly on the bathroom doors and closet doors. I have major dust allergies (thankful I brought my medications) but also did not find it visually appealing. There is also mold in the shower. I also expected the kitchen to be cleaner. The cabinets and knobs were quite sticky. I think if the condo automatically included regular cleanings during each guest's stay, it would be kept cleaner overall. Or else hire a new cleaning person (or both!). Note: I am extremely particular about cleanliness, but I at least expected it to be as clean as a 4-star hotel room. Most people might find it clean enough. I didn't hold it against the overall rating b/c everything else truly made up for it!! Highly recommend one of the ground floor condos in Building A!!

A quiet condo community with spectacular views yet a short walk to Brennecke's Beach, restaurant and deli. Loved the 'sleepy' aspect of this place but could be enjoying happy hour in a few minutes if we wanted. Perfect location.

GREAT LOCATION HOWEVER WITH VIRTUALLY NO A/C EXCEPT 1 WINDOW UNIT ON THE FLOOR IN THE MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET THE SECOND BEDROOM AND LIVING AREA WERE IN THE NINETYS DURING THE DAY.DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM FOR THE OWNER TO ADD A PORTABLE A/C IN BEDROOM 2 OR LIVING AREA??? EVEN WHEN THE MAID CAME IN TO CLEAN SHE SAID WHOW IT'S HOT IN HERE AT 11:00AM

Nice condo with a WONDERFUL view, right on the ocean! Pool was warm and clean and we loved swimming in it with the waves crashing below. Unit was a bit warm as there is no central A/C (just a small unit in the bedroom closet), and the wind howled through the gap in the back sliding door as well as the glass window slats, but other than that it was lovely.

I booked 103A at Poipu Shores through VRBO, having never been to Kauai. It was exactly what I had hoped it would be. We traveled with another couple and had a hard time finding a unit with 2 kings with 2 bathrooms. Most had a master and 2 twins that could be pushed together. The 2nd bedroom is not huge and has no view, but the living space makes up for that. The master has an awesome view and if you love the sound of the ocean it could not be better. The trick is to close the windows at night and the ocean lulls you to sleep. We had whales and Dolphins everyday in front of the unit. The sea turtles live in front of the pool and were so fun to watch... We really want to keep this place a secret, but since we cannot go every year, we think we should just be honest that this place is amazing. We met people there that return every year. After looking around the Poipu area we now know that Poipu Shores would have been our choice over all others!

This was my second time staying at Poipu Shores and I love the location! The complex is within walking distance of Poipu Beach (as long as you don't have a lot to carry) and Brenecke's Restaurant, which is across the street from the beach, is a great place to have a tropical drink and a bite to eat. Because the complex is in close proximity of the ocean I get to enjoy the sound of the crashing waves. Whether sitting on the lanai or swimming in the pool the view of the ocean is amazing and the turtles swimming right near the shore is a special treat. The complex is a short distance to Roy's and Keoke's Paradise, which are two of my favorite restaurants. The condo was clean and it's nice to have a washer/dryer in the unit so you don't have to pack so many clothes. Staff is always helpful and professional. I would highly recommend Poipu Shores!

Location, location, location. You could not beat where we were located. Walk out of our patio doors to the lawn and 25 feet away was the water. Lots of whales and dolphins right in front of us. Great pool and the beaches were just a 2 minute walk away. Condo was great - had everything we needed.

Best view in Kaui out the back door. Everything you need is in the condo. Only suggestion is the knife set is pretty tired. Could use a new set.

Property was beautiful and clean. . Lots of thoughtful touches like binoculars and beautiful map of island hanging on the wall. There was plenty of extra supplies like paper towels, laundry detergent, even shampoo & conditioner. Wonderful views and it was nice to watch the huge waves crashing against the rocks. We could see the sunset and whales breaching. It was really nice being on the first floor. We were able to walk straight out the patio doors to the edge of the ocean. I would definitely stay here again. The only bad part was the following: I tried to find out more info on parking permit from Vicki. She deflected my questions and said I was thinking too hard about it. She could have simply told me that the front office was located near the entrance of the property and to proceed there to get my parking pass and given me the hours of the front office, instead of insulting me.

Staying at Poipu Shores is magical! The ocean views are like no other. It sits right at the ocean’s edge on top of a lava formation. The pool sits over ocean. You can stand at the pool’s edge and watch the turtles in the water from right there! The waves crash high and are a sight to see right from your porch. We watched the sun rise and the sunset from here, we saw dolphins swim in front of us and whale spouts and whales breach out in the distance. Being right next to Brenneke’s beach was so convenient! In the evening, around 6 PM as the sunset, about 25 giant green turtles, would come ashore to rest for the evening. They were safely roped off but beautiful too watch. Poipu is just such an amazing experience!

We had a wonderful time staying at Poipu Shores. The condo was very clean and well stocked. There was plenty of room for 3 adults and one child. The view and sound of the ocean was lovely, we had beautiful sunsets nightly, and we saw turtles and dolphins from the lanai. It is walking distance to Brennecke's beach and Poipu beach (about half a mile away). The photos don't do the condo justice!
One thing to note that we weren't aware of until after we arrived- you need a parking pass to park in the lot. By the time we saw this noted in the welcome binder it was after hours for the on-site office and the number listed to call was not correct. We ended up with 2 parking violation warnings on our car as the office wasn't open the several times we tried to stop in (yet somehow they were giving parking violations at 7am). We contacted the property management who was very responsive to our concern but also unaware that we needed a permit. No harm done- just hope this will be useful to future guests.
Overall, a wonderful location and condo!

The location of this well appointed condo was superb. The A/C is a rare find among Kauai rentals. Everything exceeded our expectations except the management company. At 11PM on the evening before having to awaken at 3AM to go to the airport, Poipu Mgmt. co. staff called me and insisted I arise at that moment to upload the QR Codes for out trip. She admitted that it was her responsibility and she had been off extra for the Labor day holiday and not in the office to notify us. After doing this, we received a text at 3AM that we had done it incorrectly. Again, we complied. Once arriving on the Island we received a text that this had not been done satisfactorily. Therefore our first day we spent all morning and until 1PM at their office trying to satisfy this requirement to their satisfaction. They said they may have to call HEMA to help. If I owned this condo I would definitely have it managed by another owner. Otherwise, this particular condo is fantastic and I would highly recommend it, may even consider returning next year.
