We really enjoyed staying at the Worley’s place.
The waterfront location walking distance to several beaches was unbeatable.
The lanai starts to get shady in the late morning allowing for peaceful, relaxing times watching the giant green turtles frolicking in the surf.
The condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly functional and equipped for preparing simple meals.
Our hosts were quickly responsive, and provided great recommendations for beaches, food and live music on the island.
Will definitely consider staying here again when we return to Kauai.

Exactly like the pictures. Very well stocked, including beach chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, towels, cooler, and boogie boards. Kitchen was also well stocked. Plenty of parking, great location. The sound of the surf and watching surfers was very entertaining. We will be back

This condo is amazing!!! Its BEAUTIFUL inside and well stocked with everything you need from cooking to beach trips. The views from the balcony are INCREDIBLE!!! The sea turtles were hanging out all day every day and we even saw some babies! We also got to watch a tiger shark that came into the bay for about 45 minutes!! The rocking chairs on the lanai were a great touch - we all loved sitting in them enjoying the ocean, turtles and the view. (This is the first vacation we never even turned on the tv!) Heather was very easy to communicate with and made sure we were taken care of. If you book this condo you will not regret it!! We were here almost 2 weeks celebrating my parents 50th anniversary, our 7th anniversary and my birthday! My dad ran the Kaua'i Marathon and this location was perfect for the start and finish. Such a special place for special celebrations and great memories!! Mahalo!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is immaculate, well appointed, comfy beds, loaded with beach gear. The view from the deck cannot be beat. We watched sea turtles and surfers every day and out of all of the beaches we snorkeled on island, the beach right next door was the best. Highly recommend!

Condo was as described. Many sea turtles and surfers to watch from the living room and balcony. Great sunsets. Kitchen was Well equipped with all of the essentials. I don’t recall if listing stated that bedroom with twin beds did not have air. It was pretty warm for September. Appear condo below us was having a lot of tile work, so a tile saw was pretty loud almost every day. Nonetheless, having stayed in Poipu/Koloa area many times, I will definitely stay at Kuhio Shores again and would stay in this condo again. Mahaolo and Aloha.

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in this well appointed condo. The location was fabulous, and the favorite thing was being able to sit on the lanai and turtle watch in the small cove. Easy access from the airport and other main attractions. Highly recommend!

I’ll cover the good first. The view was great; the balcony overlooked a very small bay as pictured. Sunrises were beautiful! The condo was adequate; the bed and sofa were comfortable, the bathroom and shower were clean, and the kitchen was nicely equipped. The neighborhood is convenient to restaurants and markets. However, the complex is very old and tired. The BBQ is in the parking lot next to the garbage. The washer/dryer is not in the condo, but is communal downstairs, and is expensive and there is no change machine.

This Kuhio Shores #309 rental was the most well equipped of all the VRBO rentals I've ever stayed in. Usually there is something missing, either flatware, toilet paper, whatever,...but not here. It had everything you could imagine and more. More pots and pans, towels, sheets, paper goods, even a drawer full of various ziplock bags! And the view is AMAZING. Every afternoon we watched turtles frolicking in the surf below the lanai and the adjacent Lawai beach had some pretty decent snorkeling for Kauai. The location is also perfect, being near all the south shore hot spots. In conclusion we loved our stay. A+

This was my first experience on VRBO and with this vendor. From booking to checkout it was just so easy. Garden Island Rentals kept me informed at just the right amount throughout the process.
The unit was exactly as described - perfect. Start with the ocean view from the balcony. We sat out there for a lot of time. All our sunrises, breakfasts and most of our evenings. We saw at least 4 sea turtles every day feeding in the basalt reef. Surfers were out there too.
The kitchen in the unit had everything you could ever need. Every cupboard with filled with items. Including manuals for every appliances. They supplied two big binders as well. One with listings for restaurants and one with additional info for the condo.
The living room couch and chairs were very comfortable and the eat in area was perfect for the two of us.
I've never used the split style A/C but it was more than adequate. We were there during a period of very high heat and humidity and the units covered it all. We only had the bedroom unit on when going to bed. We turned of the living unit when going out and it would have the unit cooled down nicely within 10 minutes of putting it back on.
The kitchen cupboards weren't the only place with everything you could use. The hall cupboard had beach supplies and lots of other useful items. We used the beach supplies at the local beach as well as Poipu beach.
The bed was comfortable and we slept well.The unit was spotless. We didn't see one insect!

The view is as beautiful as shown on the website, if not even better! I will definitely stay here again for another vacation. The location was perfect. Only 5 minutes from everywhere we wanted to go. I can not suggest this enough!

We were looking for a relaxing time in Kauai. This property and view were beyond what we expected. The property is lovely and had everything we needed, clean, comfortable, all the needed kitcheny stuff to make meals as we desired. A nice bed and clean bathroom. All good. But to wake up and have coffee on the balcony and watch the sunrise over the hill and have the view of turtle bay right before us, the whole time is beyond words. We saw plenty of turtles, a reef shark, and fish from the balcony. This makes this place an eleven! We will be coming back!

Beautiful place overlooking the an inlet of the ocean. Everything was great! I like the smaller beach and grassy area to hang out on with a very small crowd. It’s close to poipu beach but, in my opinion they’re way too crowded.
The only thing I would add to it is some kind of screen, that still allows you to see through, out on the deck/patio so you can drink your morning coffee without it being to hot. The sun rises on this side and it isn’t cool enough To sit until late afternoon.

We had the pleasure of staying at this oceanfront property, and it was exactly what we hoped for! Everything was impeccably clean, and it was clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the property.
The location is right on the oceanfront with breathtaking views.
In summary, this oceanfront rental offers an amazing combination of cleanliness, a prime beachfront location, and outstanding hospitality. I recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect seaside getaway.

Excellent, spacious condo! Amazing view! Convenient location within walking distance to the Kukui’ula shopping center. We loved our mornings having coffee on the lanai watching surfers, sea turtles, and monk seals.

Hard to summarize in a few words-The property owner is very detailed oriented with instructions/places to go to etc-NO detail was left unanswered! BUT their place was way beyond our expectations! Haha The kitchen is better stocked than mine at home-The location is perfect-seeing the sunrise outside our lanai and also seeing sea turtle swim there also was just magical-i have so much more i could share about this property-perfection, quiet, and a perfect Hawaiian vibe is what it exudes!

Our family enjoyed watching the sea turtles, waves and surfers from the balcony of this beautifully decorated beach front unit. Star gazing was amazing. It was centrally located to all points of interest on the island. Anne and Olaf were quick to respond to requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We were fortunate enough to spend two weeks in this beautiful oceanfront condo. The condo feels spacious, is very clean and well stocked.
There is plenty of gear for a day at the beach or you can simply enjoy watching the turtles and the surfers from the ground floor lanai.
Polly was a pleasure to work with as we were planning our stay. Don’t pass on your opportunity to stay here, we plan on a return stay.

The view and location are amazing. It is an easy walk to nearby beaches to snorkel, and Baby Beach had a lot of sea turtles. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The only note is that there is no A/C in the second bedroom. We left the door open and used the box fan to get some air in there. It worked out, but it was definitely warmer in the second bedroom. I would stay at this property again.

We received detailed check-in instructions from the owner a few days before arrival. Parking was not an issue, though it was difficult to see the front door keypad in the dark entry corridor. The condo is next door to a snorkeling beach and is conveniently located near Kukui'ula and Koloa retail and restaurants. Everything we needed, linens, appliances, dishware, cleaning supplies were provided. We only had to bring soap and shampoo with our toothbrushes. We did not have to use the onsite laundry facilities during our 4 night stay. The ground floor unit sits directly on the shorefront with waves just outside the lanai. Watching the green sea turtles feed along the rocks just beyond the lanai each day was our favorite pastime.
The living room and bedroom are very spacious, but the bathroom is a bit cramped and could use a fan for better ventilation. The decor is fairly dated, so although it appears to be thoroughly cleaned before each stay, the fixtures, furnishings and appliances look worn. If style doesn't matter and convenience and comfort are most important, then we would definitely recommend this condo.

Apon walking into condo, my husband and I were immediately put off by the dingy smell and the look of the floor and kitchen. My husband got down on his hands and knees and scrubbed the floor. The paper towels he used were black. I chloroxed the kitchen and bathroom down and Lysol sprayed everything down.. Then, we lit a watermelon candle and it was perfect. Clean, clean, clean. That is my suggestion. First impression almost made us go elsewhere. Toilet problem was addressed but not repaired. The temporary fix worked for our stay. But, I recall this same thing from a previous review (months ago). You have a great place. Awesome views, great location. Just give it regular tender loving care and this is a perfect review.

The two bedrooms made it easy to spread out not feeling cramped. The kitchen was well equipped, everything worked. The condo was clean and had an amazing view from every living area. The location was perfect for dining and snorkeling. We plan to return. Thanks again! L and J

I chose this spot because of it’s location to the surf break. It’s directly in front of it, which is what my husband wanted as a convenience during our honeymoon. It was the only swell on the island at the time so he was able to surf daily.
For us, it fit our honeymoon standards, but if you want privacy this may not be the best fit. Many people sit on the lawn directly in front of the condo to watch the sunset or surfers. Often times we returned home to find people sitting on our patio furniture.
It really is a great property in every other aspect though. I recommend to those who are looking to be right in front of the waves and interested in meeting locals and other tourists!

This unit was absolutely perfect for our vacation and we could not have enjoyed it any more than we did. The unit was clean which is super important to me. It had everything we needed. Most of the time was spent on the lanai watching the water and the turtles. Koloa and Poipu are, in my opinion, the best part of Kauai (all beautiful though) and we would definitely stay here again. Polly was very responsive to any questions we had.

Location was incredible! Minute walks or a short drive from so many of Kauais beaches. The owners thought of everything! Beach gear, beach bags, a sun hat, ice chest, even baby gear like a high chair and small life vests. We couldn’t have be happier with our choice. And the views! Property is right next door to The Beach House restaurant and you can see incredible sunset views from your own living room. Comfy beds and all the supplies/toiletries you would need to be comfortable. We would 100% stay here again. We are so incredibly pleased and grateful with our choice!

I was very pleased with location of condo, perfect viewing for ocean life, clean and comfy beds, my only complaint was the noise at night from the live music from restaurant when trying to sleep. Couldn't sleep with windows open so thank goodness for the AC units.

The condo was very clean and comfortable. The view took our breath away and we sat on the lanai every morning and evening (also caught a glimpse of some turtles on our last evening in Kauai). The condo has all the essentials and is in a great location. We had enjoyed our stay at this condo and would definitely come stay here again!

My boyfriend and I loved this property. While many places on Kauai don’t have air conditioning, this condo did and it made a huge difference. The bay right outside the condo has a ton of sea turtles and a quick walk on the other side of the property has one of the best snorkeling spots in my opinion. There are a ton of colorful fish and sea turtles and the waves aren’t too rough. Loved our stay here.

We absolutely loved our stay. The condo was beautiful, cozy, and well stocked. The view is stunning. My favorite was sitting out on the lanai watching surfers every morning and evening. Even after nightfall, I could (and did) sit out there for hours listening to the waves.waveswavescrash.
