Every morning for two weeks I spent watching the beautiful sunrise right from the lanai. There was nothing more we could have asked for.

We thoroughly enjoyed our ten days in Poipu. This condo is exceptional with all amenities and perfect location. Sound of waves crashing on the beach below is hypnotic. We give this condo our highest recommendation.

The communication prior to arrival was fantastic with lots of information. The check-in was easy. We spent every morning sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and listening to the waves crash. The condo has many accoutrements for the beach, including chairs, sand toys, an umbrella, snorkeling equipment, and beach towels. We stayed cool due to the cross breeze through the condo when the back door and windows are open. Next time we are on Kaua’i, we will see if this condo is available again if it’s just myself and my spouse. The pull-out couch was not very comfortable for our child to sleep on.

The host, Chris, was very responsive and very detailed with information about the unit and the area. The location was ideal, right on the waters edge with a beautiful view of the ocean. The unit got the morning sun so was shaded in the afternoon which was ideal for the sunset and sitting out on the patio. It was very close to shops and restaurants.
As for the unit, pros:
Fully equipped large kitchen. Had everything and more. New refrigerator.
Very comfortable king size bed.
Large roomy living area with sofa and two chairs with foot stools.
Well provided with towels, beach gear, hangers, beach chairs, books and more.
Nice wood decor and wall hangings.
Cons:
Bedroom and bathroom need to be painted.
Could use a deep clean.
No TV in living room. There is a small TV in the closet to bring out and use but we ended up using our IPADs as that was easier.
It was a very nice trip and we enjoyed Kauai and watching the sunset from the condo, but If I come back to Kauai, I would choose a more updated unit.

The property looks exactly as it does in the pictures. When you walk through the door, the first thing you see is the view of the ocean. In the morning, you can sit and watch the sea turtles roll in the surf directly below your lanai. This condo is supplied with all basic amenities you will need plus a few you wouldn’t expect. It has modern updated appliances. We will be back soon!

This is a wonderful property. It is right on the ocean with great views of sunrise and sunset. We could not have asked for a better location. We like the south shore if Kauai.

Perfect escape to Kauai. Everything about this place was exactly as advertised. Perfect view of the ocean, excellent south shore location within walking distance to the best shopping and beaches. Good parking. Quiet neighbors. We would definitely come back again!

One of our favorite places to go. Have stayed at several similar properties. 204 was a great experience and ranked high on our list. Comfortable, very well equipped, excellent location, and beautiful ocean views. Wildlife, turtles, and beautiful sunrises. For outstanding sunsets recommend to take a chair to opposite corner of the property where there is a nice grassy area to watch from. Mahalo

One elevator for the entire facility and this room is on the 4th floor. Minor repairs needed. Doors, window shades, etc. But they currently have a cockroach problem in the kitchen and throughout the apartment that I sincerely hope they address. They did not seem too concerned but we didnt want to leave our things on the floor or on the counters.

The location of the complex and position of the unit itself is wonderful. You can get some sunrise and the sunset from the lanai! Small beach with snorkeling and a restaurant next door. You can rent snorkel gear next door as well which we recommend highly. It’s a nice enough condo but needs a little attention. Windows to the lanai would not open, screen door struggled to slide ( the wheel was not bolted on) and there was an odor that lingered. The bedding was pretty dated and the place could use a deeper clean from time to time. The main bedroom definitely could use a refresh. All the amenities mentioned were there and we were grateful for those items! There was a plumbing problem which was fixed promptly, thank you Albert. The communal laundry facility ( one laundry room per floor) was very tidy and nice.

We slept with the patio door open each night so we could listen to the waves while in bed . The proximity to the ocean is what makes this unit particularly special.

My husband and I enjoyed 5 nights of our honeymoon here and it was unbelievable. The pictures don’t do the view justice - being able to see turtles and star gaze from the balcony was priceless. We are already planning on staying here again in the future!

The property was great, right on the water. One of our favorite things to do was to grab a coffee and watch the surgery in the morning. Very relaxing!
We went all over the island while here, and this felt like a pretty good jumping off spot.
Sara was great, very responsive and helpful.
We would definitely pick this location when visiting again!

I have stayed at Kuhio Shores before, many years ago (early 1980s) in a different ground floor unit, and it was great to revisit.
The good things: It was great to be next to the ocean with just the narrow strip of lawn separating the lanai from the ocean - hearing the waves was exactly what I had hoped. Fantastic view of the ocean, of course! Nice kitchen, and the closet full of gear was wonderful, especially the beach chairs and umbrella. First aid kit, too.
Separate AC in each bedroom as well as in the living area was great, so we could tailor to comfort level.
The not as good things: the furniture overall could use a refresh; the couch and chair cushions (which seem to be foam pads with fabric cover) are pretty much broken down and all covers could use a good wash or replace all.
The master bedroom is a bit dark, with poor lighting even with both lamps and the lights over the sink turned on. Although the drop lights at the sink area worked, there is a central spotlight over the sink that did not work. Also, the light in the shower area would randomly go out.
The bed in the master bedroom had a "well-used" feel - it is worn out with the typical "low sink spots" on both left and right sides. I tried to sleep in the center so there was a bit more support.
Overall, a mostly comfortable condo in a perfect location. The Beach House next door, Koloa shops and restaurants minutes away, easy drive to Hanapepe and Polihale. Can't go wrong with the location!
December 2024
We really enjoyed our stay at this comfy condo. It was well-equipped and spotlessly clean. This unit is on the top floor, which is the best for turtle watching and whale spotting! The A/C was a nice feature, when winter sun streamed in.
Would stay again!
One note: the listing mentions laundry amenities, but they are outside the condo in a common area, coin-op. We would have stayed anyway had we known, but might have planned things differently since we were washing cloth diapers every day.

This place was great! We loved how it was in a fairly quiet spot! The views from the condo were beautiful. We snorkeled right off the beach on the other side of the restaurant. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Would highly recommend.

This unit has beautiful, unobstructed views of both sunrise and sunset The layout of the master is a bit odd, with the shower sitting in the bedroom without doors separating, but I did not notice any mugginess when showering while the windows were open. Decor was tasteful and comfortable, would definitely stay here again.

First of all, for the strengths, the place was clean and the wifi worked well. There were also welcome snacks/gifts on the dining table, which was a nice touch. It was a cozy and good-enough apartment. We stayed here for 3 nights, and it was much more expensive than another rental that was superior on many levels, but it seems that the pattern is that rentals in this southern area of Kauai are just more expensive. Just be aware that this is an old apartment (the kitchen knives, scissors, etc. are getting old) in an old building. The apartment is overall dark despite turning on all the lights. A parasol and bodyboards would be appreciated additions (especially given the price of this rental), and I let Vacasa/the owner know.

Celebrated our wedding anniversary here and absolutely loved it! The patio is literally just a few yards away from the beach, so we spend a lot of time relaxing and listening to the crashing of the waves. The condo was clean and it had beach chairs, an umbrella, and other gear that came in handy. Walking distance to restaurants, a drugstore, and some really cool shops. Highly recommend!

Great unit with an awesome view to wake up to. We had an issue with the lock on arrival but the management company was extremely responsive in sorting it out. My only complaint is that the BBQ’s are way over by the garbage bins which doesn’t necessarily make you want to Grimm. Otherwise great property and would recommend.

The condo is situated perfectly in the southern part of the island with access to beaches, restaurants and shopping. It serves as a great launching spot to travel to the other island regions for hiking, sightseeing and activities. This is our second stay at the condo and we will continue to stay here in the future. The host Sara is helpful, accommodating, and very kind. She was always available and communicated very quickly.

So amazing to watch and listen to the ocean all day! We saw turtles and dolphins. Surfing and snorkeling right at the condo. Comfortable bed. We appreciated the welcome basket, the filtered water, the beach chairs and towels, and plentiful outlets. We recommend The Eating Place for dinner- nearby good food and good service. Thank you!

A great way to end our vacation, sitting on the lanai listening to the surf and watching the turtles in the bay as the clouds drifted by. The rooms and accommodations were perfect.

This was a beautiful unit. It was thoughtfully furnished with everything you might need. We appreciated the amazingly comfortable sectional in the living room. Having boogie boards, sand chairs, and umbrella available was wonderful. The kitchen was fully stocked, the bed was comfortable. Listening to the surf was soothing. We were able to watch sunrise and sunset each day from the balcony. We would definitely stay here again.

We escaped rainy days in Seattle and celebrated my husband's birthday in this perfect destination. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the last 15 years. This is the loveliest, best equipped one ever. The place is nicer than the photos--so comfortable with a mesmerizing view. Falling asleep to the sound of waves every night was perfection. We truly hate to leave and hope to comeback often.

Reviewer Comments:
Kuhio Shores has a nice location on the water. The sound of the waves and view of the ocean were very relaxing. The grounds were well-kept. The washer and dryer on each level was handy. We enjoyed walking to snorkeling and shopping areas which were very convienent. The kitchen was well-provisioned for cooking which we did every night. The unit was clean. Everything was in working order. The beds were below expectations and the queen bed was very uncomfortable and squeaked whenever anyone moved. Our traveling companions were in that room and one of them moved to the couch every night. Did not make for a relaxing trip. The furnishings are a bit dated but adequate. For such a premium location within the complex, we had hoped for a higher level of furnishings.

The view and location of the place was amazing! The owner was accommodating for us and allowed us to drop our stuff off before check in which was so helpful. The only complaint I have is that the beds are not very comfortable and there was a mildew smell on the mattress and small beatle like bugs… we ended up sleeping in the living room on the couch that turns into a bed instead.

The property was just as viewed online. Very clean and updated with everything provided that you would need for a stay on the beaches. The kitchen was great with all appliances and utensils that we needed. Beautiful view and sounds of the ocean so close. The location is great for staying on the south side but be prepared for a bit of foot traffic outside the back windows. It didn't bother us once we were aware. Air conditioning in the bedroom was great to have at night. Hoping to return next year!
