Fabulous location! Walk to beach and restaurants. Condo is very spacious and the view is beautiful. The condo itself is in need of some maintenance and a few things are broken and nonfunctional . Regardless of the need for updating and checking to make sure everything is in working order we had a fantastic time and recommend this location

Stayed at this condo for 4 nights and my boyfriend and I had a great experience! The condo was very clean and was stocked with everything we needed to be comfortable. We were super appreciative of all the beach gear that was provided as well! We loved how close the condo was to Poipu beach (walking distance) and to shipwreck beach (4 min drive). We also accessed the pool which was lovely and relaxing. The AC unit in the bedroom took a little while to cool the room, but once cooled it felt great and we slept very comfortably. Overall this condo was excellent and we would absolutely stay here again when we return to Kauai.

Great spacious place to stay close to beaches and restaurants. Really clean! You get a reserved parking spot right in front of the building too.

This was definitely one of the best, if not the best stocked vacation rentals we have stayed at. (kitchen, beach equipment, etc.) Thank you for providing everything needed to make our stay comfortable and easy. For a rental that is not right on the ocean, the location could not be better and views from the lanai are amazing. Without a doubt, we will try to book the condo again if we get the chance to return to Kauai.

Fully equipped flat in a quiet neighbourhood. Great sea view from the terrace. Car park directly in front of the house. Only a few minutes by car to great beaches and delicious restaurants and shopping in the area. Communication directly with the owner who can also provide a car. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book the flat again.

Pros: Having a condo with a washer and dryer, chairs and umbrella for the beach, and a full kitchen was great! The books in the unit were interesting, and the tile shower was impeccable. We had AC in the bedroom, so we were able to sleep comfortably. Access to the athletic club was a plus. Cons: I picked the condo bc as a cook because the photos showed a spice rack, but when we arrived, it was not availabile. The smell of sweat was pretty strong, and when I asked for more I coffee, I was told two packets is all I get.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Jeremy's house. The apartment is very spacious, clean, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay, just steps away from the beach. If we return to Kauai, we will definitely stay at this house again!

Just stayed here and overall it was a great stay! Check in was SUPER easy and loved the info that was left about the condo and the area. Had a little maintenance hiccup that was handled RIGHT away and the gentleman they sent was AWESOME. Not just because he was knowledgeable but he was super personable and kind. The location was FABULOUS and the amenities were equally great. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the condo. It had a “Hollywood clean”. The closer I looked, I noticed it wasn’t as clean as you would think. The floors had old spills that weren’t cleaned well and still a feeling of grit/sand in some spots, major dust and junk under the beds (saw bc my kid lost a shirt), and the tubs weren’t very clean either. I will give it to the property manager, she was willing to send someone out and do an extra clean but we didn’t stay much in the condo and it wasn’t gross dirty but could use a deep clean here and there to help. The bedding and towels were fresh though and my husband raved about the primary bed. We slept VERY well and it was super comfy. The AC’s were very helpful but adding one in the 2nd bedroom would have been handy as my kids didn’t feel safe sleeping with the windows open BUUUT the area felt VERY safe and secure. All in all, this was a great place, great location and we were happy to have stayed here!

What an island. It was our first time on Kauai. The condo was in an ideal location to be able to explore in every direction. Poipu sunsets were magical. The Beach House restaurant was amazing and super close. The condo had everything we needed. The ac came in SUPER handy.

We loved staying here. Loved being in this area of Kauai, so relaxing with plenty of food and groceries nearby. The resort area was well maintained and beautiful. The pools were nice as was the hot tub. Our unit had all the amenities we needed was and was well stocked with kitchen items and beach gear. We will definitely be back and would love to stay there again. Thanks for having us!

This condo is located in a great area. Our family enjoyed the proximity to the pool, beach, tennis facilities. I think with a little bit of updating, it could be the perfect stay! The condo is fully carpeted - this carpet is far past it's life (dingy and dirty) and I believe leads to a musty odour in the space. The portable AC units were much appreciated - but the main living spaces don't have AC and were very warm. The AC units were also quite noisy and although we attempted to sleep with them off (relying on the trade winds), it was unbearably hot without them on. The bathroom, while functional, is in need of updates and a deep cleaning. The host was friendly and responsive. There is lots of beach gear to utilize and found the kitchen offered the necessities for our family cooking needs. I would have appreciated an info package within the unit detailing the wifi password, property rules, garbage locations, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay however we likely wouldn't return unless some updates were made to the unit.

Nice code, well decorated and supplied. We were in a corner of the building but it was more than expected. Having two lanais was nice and the view of the gardens and out to the sea was very pleasant. The only thing it needed aws a brighter lamp somewhere for reading. They also mentioned a hose outside but we never saw one.

July 2024

I liked the two Lize. One in both directions. Very private sheets and bed was wonderful. They promised a hose outside to wash your sand off. We never saw it. Also, there was very little light in order to read by at night. The lamps were all pretty low wattage. I had to crouch near a lamp in order to read my guidebook.

We had a great experience at Kahala! Suite paradise was very communicative and thoughtful throughout our stay. The unit had everything we needed for a great stay - towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, and access to the amazing Poipu Beach Athletic club. Our unit was perfectly situated for all activities. While there was an AC unit in the bedroom, the whole condo was quite hot, even with blinds closed and windows open at the right times. The carpet would also benefit from a deep clean. Overall we were satisfied for the price we paid.

Short walk to the beach is what we loved most.
Camille C.
July 2024

This was in a perfect location for everything we were trying to do during our visit. Having the pool and hot tub were great for an end of day relaxation and the balcony for morning enjoyment. The beach is walking distance with an area where turtles rest. I have no complaints about the unit, it was everything we expected it to be.

This was the perfect property for us for our week in Kauai. Can’t beat the location! It was so easy to walk to the beach and the unit had everything we needed to enjoy a day at the beach, including beach chairs, a boogie board, towels, umbrella, and lunch cooler. We enjoyed both pools on the property and used the gas grills to make dinner. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed. We had a few warm afternoons/nights but the bedroom stays nice and cool and the fans in the main room worked great. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would definitely return!

My husband, myself, and our two kids ( 6 and 8 year old) stayed here in august. It was absolutely perfect. Clean, safe, and comfortable. Got hot during the day, but a quick dip in the pool made it ok. Quick walk to the beautiful Poipu beach. Loved being able to use the beach chairs and umbrella. If we are so lucky to be able to return to Kauai, we’ll book this place again.

The property sits overlooking the grounds, tennis courts, and more than a peek of the ocean. We loved sitting on the patio. It was particularly beautiful for star gazing. The condo has just about everything, one snorkeling set so we rented a few more. Comfortable bed. Internet was pretty good. Coolers, towels, chairs, umbrella, beach wagon, beach toys, etc. With the AC units (you have to buy separate), the temp was perfect for our July stay. A nice stay!

Our stay in Kauai was amazing. The condo was better than expected and the location was perfect. Just a few minutes walk from the beach and bar. I would stay here again!

This is our second time staying at a Kahala unit at Poipu Kai and we love it. This particular unit is ideally located next to the walking path and pool, but we couldn't hear any noise from either. My family loves that Kahala is such an easy walk over to Poipu Beach and Poipu Shopping Village. The two bedrooms and bathrooms were both clean and spacious and the AC worked really well in the bedrooms. Being on the ground floor meant that even the common spaces without AC were quite cool with the lanai doors open. We loved starting each day with breakfast on the lanai with that gorgeous the ocean view. We would definitely stay here again!
Joyce S.

As advertised. Walking distance to the beach, gorgeous hikes and scenery, restaurants and bars. Very well appointed, comfortable, and lovely. Hope to come back.

June 2024

It was a great place, better than we hoped. The lanai overlooking the greenbelt with an ocean view was beautiful. Access was super easy, and the kitchen and closet with beach gear were both well stocked with everything we could want. With the tradewinds blowing we never even had to turn on the AC, despite it being upper 80s temps.
Matthew C.
June 2024

Condo was very comfortable and furnished with everything we’d need. Walking distance to Poipu beach! Only AC was a portable unit in the bedroom, so a bit noisy. Ceiling fan in the living room pretty weak for me, but I do run hot. Overall a comfortable place. I’d stay again, especially if AC was installed!

June 2024

This corner unit was great! Loved having an AC, beds were comfy, close to everything we wanted to do.

We stayed at this location for several days and it's about the perfect location. The residence itself was so nice. We loved the open beamed ceilings, the furniture setup, the deck was perfect for morning coffee. Not really anything we didn't like. Having been island hopping for a bit, we really appreciated being able to do a few small loads of laundry in the furnished washer/dryer. The host really did have everything you would need to feel at home away from home. Shopping, dining, entertainment...all within 5 minutes from here. Would 100% recommend this spot and we would definitely return and stay here.

House was in a great location with easy access to Poipu beach. Was safe and comfortable, and we loved having the pool steps away when we wanted to hang out and take a swim. We spent most of our time out and about, so the house was a perfect home base. Chad the property manager was very helpful and responded to any questions quickly.

Very nice (and private 1/1 condo with two decks, overlooks large open space w/ sidewalk running for down to Brenecke Beach. Excellent beach paraphenalia, cooler, umbrella, chairs. A couple cannot go wrong w/ this unit and location. A/C only in BR, shower only (but it’s big!)…plenty of cross breeze and fans.

This is probably our last family vacation - just the four of us. It was fantastic! Thank you for all the extras - boogie boards, beach chairs, cooler, plenty of cooking utensils and pans. The property and location make this rental a great value. We are taking lots of wonderful memories home with us.
