We had a great stay. Had all the accommodations we were hoping for…our family of 4 had a great visit to the south/west part of the island.

Rodney was always quick to respond to my emails. He was always reassuring to my concerns. His manager Evelyn was my go -to person. The apartment was all one level and my family was very comfortable there from grandma to 4 year old.

Everything about this place was great. The management company was very quick to answer any questions, the unit was exactly as described, the location was amazing and overall a great space for a family of four with two teenage boys.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay in this spacious, clean, updated townhouse style condo with an ocean view. It is a 15 minute walk to Poipu beach and short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. The unit is well-stocked with beach equipment and kitchen essentials for cooking meals. My one criticism is that the portable A/C units in the bedrooms are extremely loud and kept waking me up in the middle of the night. It was a tradeoff for the relief from the heat.

The room was decotaed nice and had the amenities you would need in the kitchen and for out door fun. Where we had problems is that there is no air in the unit and 2 of 3 ceiling fans were not working which made for a warm unit. The tv in master bedroom did notwork. The dryer did not work until the last 2 days. 2 after maintenance came.notwdu

Reviewer Comments:
This rental was great in every way. Never overheard my grand kids comment on how a great place this was. And ask how did you find it. Very convenient for all we wanted to do. What a wonderful find.

We really enjoyed our stay! It was comfortable and in a great location! We were concerned about no AC, but found it comfortable with the doors open and fans on. We would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was a perfect south side location, close to beaches and shopping and easy access to the main road around the island. The property manager was responsive and allowed us extend our stay on the last day to accommodate a change in our boat tour. Overall the property was clean and comfortable but could use a bit of updating, especially the upstairs bedrooms/bathrooms. I would recommend this property.

Our third time in Kauai. Great condo in Poipu that easily accommodated our family of 5 (12 year old, 2 teenagers, myself and my wife). Location was perfect for accessing Poipu Beach, Breakneck Beach, Shipwreck Beach, and all the restaurants in Koloa. Seems relatively recently upgraded on the inside (overall building is older, but decent). Kitchen was well stocked and there were chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, and some beach toys in the closet. Plenty of linens, beach towels, kitchen towels, and bathroom towels. Very quiet property with well-insulated walls. We slept very comfortably! Views from the patio are gorgeous!
Property management was excellent, with clear and friendly communication throughout the stay. We even misplaced a key (long story - we retrieved it) and the property manager guided us to locate a spare to enter the property.
Only very minor gripe - when AC is on throughout the property the fan blows hot air onto the balcony patio making it hard to sit there. This was a problem for all the other condos in the building besides ours and wasn’t an issue throughout the stay, especially on the cooler days when we weren’t running AC.
Overall, would highly recommend this condo and this location!

The property was exactly what we needed for 2 adults and 2 teens. We kept cool and had plenty of space. Close enough to the beach to walk and enjoyed watched the waves outside.

My family and I stayed here for a week and it fit our needs perfectly. The condo looks out onto the pool and you can see the ocean from the deck. There was a bunch of beach equipment, like umbrellas and chairs, that really came in handy. The upstairs bedrooms had AC which really helped as we came in July. All in all we loved it and hope to come back soon.

It only took us 20 min from LIH and the location was easy enough to find. I wish I had arrived earlier in day rather than 11p but that was my bad, also I had thought I received email for entry from VRBO but I got a n email direct from owner, unfortunately went to my junk emails-just a small embarrassment on my part getting into unit. But after that the stay was great! The location is amazing good walking area and so close to drive or 15 min casual walk to beach. The unit had everything except AC but opening windows/doors solved that. The pool is close by and great if you don’t want to be sandy. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped. And the cookies on arrival was a nice touch. It does have a few fans and could use one more but that’s just a suggestion from two menopause ladies lol. Basically we had a great time.

Fantastic location and amazing views right from the lanai. Saw turtles everyday from our lanai and one day we saw stingray.
Sunsets are incredible just sitting our lanai with drink in hand.
Short walk to Poipu beach and trail near condo was easy to access and great for morning run/walks along the water.
Owner also had condo well stocked in kitchen and plenty of supplies.
Spacious bathrooms and very comfortable master bed.
Definitely recommend and will stay again on any future trips to Kauai.
Thank you!

Our family of four stayed here for our first four nights in Kauai and we were not disappointed. The location is perfect- waking up to those views did not get old! The condo is just as described. The ACs worked great in the bedrooms to cool off at night, and the tradewind kept the first floor nice and cool (utilize the front screen door and the slider screens for airflow). It was a quick walk or drive to Poipu beach (plenty of parking there). There is also a great walk along the ocean that brings you to Shipwreck beach. I ran from the condo to Poipu then back to the path to shipwreck and back to the condo. It was just over 3 miles total and a great way to say goodbye to such a lovely area. Mahalo!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was well-appointed and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The communication was excellent and prompt as well. We appreciated being able to check in early when we arrived. Beautiful property and beachfront location. We would stay here again.

Stayed for a long weekend and the place was everything we needed. The apartment was clean and had all the essentials we needed for our stay. The property was easy to access and had ample parking. The access to the coast and the nearby beaches was great and an amazing way to start and/or end the day.

The condo was very nice and included all amenities my family needed for our stay. It was centrally located around all our activities, and easy to get to. We especially loved enjoying our coffee on the ocean view balcony, while watching the sunrise! We would happily stay here again! Mahola, for a wonderful visit!

The condo is perfect for four people, whether all adults or with 2 kids that can share a bed. It is very well appointed. The owner really went out of their way to give you everything you need to have a great stay, including beach chairs, towels, boogies boards, coolers, and snorkeling equipment! The full size washer and dryer are an added plus!
From the balcony you can absolutely see the ocean as well as from the master bedroom.
**One thing to note that wasn’t a problem for us, but could be for others, the unit is on the third floor and there is no elevator.
I can absolutely recommend and wish we could stay longer!

The property was big with sea turtles in the ocean right outside building. But there are a lot of stairs to climb up since it is located on a hill and on the second floor with no elevator and stairs inside condo.

The pictures were not an accurate description of the condo. We certainly did not arrive to the bottle of Rose and fruit platter as shown in the first picture. The railing on the outside deck was filthy, covered in dirt and bird poop, to the point that I had to clean it myself in order to enjoy being out there. The railing was also loose which made me nervous with my kids being out there. The master bath drain had hair in it, gross!!! I had read a review from Dec. of 2023 and February 2024 about the bedroom windows being filthy and sealed shut, but the owner had responded, saying they were awaiting new windows, I was assuming by end of June 2024 they would be replaced. Nope, the windows were so filthy we couldn’t even see out of them. The pictures shown in the ad of the bedroom views are not at all what you see from the bedrooms, you see filthy dirty window that you can’t even open and enjoy the Hawaii breeze. Yes there is air conditioning, but at night in Hawaii I want the windows opened and the breeze not the same AC I can get at home in Nevada.

Everything about this condo is perfect! The view from the balcony to the ocean, the view of the pool, being able to walk every morning and night with an ocean view. You could even walk with a neighborhood view if you prefer. If you needed anything, groceries, etc., it was just a short drive away. We just loved it. Very peaceful.

We loved our time in this condo! Family of 6 and we had plenty of room, well stocked and clean. The location can't be beat in Poipu, you are literally 30 yards from the patio to the cliffs overlooking the ocean and easy 15 min walk to the beach. Property manager was attentive but we didn't really need anything, everything was as it should be. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay here. We were pleasantly surprised to snacks and Kauai coffee when we arrived, which was very thoughtful. The place had salt and pepper, snorkel gear for at least 1 person (we didn't dig in too much to see if there were more), pool noodles, enough pots, pans, dishes for light cooking for a family of 6, water pitcher, and plenty of shampoo, conditioner, soap bars, lotion, sunblock, aloe vera, and tide pods. The doors and bathroom tiles could use an update and we wished there was more counter space in the bathrooms. The oven was not working when we arrived but someone came by with a brand new toaster oven which was a nice touch. The dishwasher was working however it's not secured in place so it tips when we tried to load/unload dishes. The handle for flushing the guest bathroom doesn't seem to quite work as well (it doesn't pop up when you push it down to flush). Walking to Poipu beach was about 16 minutes which was a lot for our 5 and 7 year old, but doable for the adults. Beds were super comfortable and the pillows were just right. We loved the view of the ocean and the pool/hot tub was great. There was an issue one day with water being shut down during the day for the whole complex, which was annoying, but we just made it a day to explore the island. The kids also appreciated all the games (uno and apples to apples). I wished there was a step stool for the kids to use at the sink. AC was a plus and necessity for us. Mahalo for everything.

Condo was as advertised. Location was fantastic and everything was neat and clean in the condo. Short drive to Poipu and Koloa.
Watching the waves hit the shore and seeing a sea turtle steps from the condo were cool.
Liz and the property manager were responsive if we had a question or concern.
Would definitely stay here again!
Thanks for helping make our first trip to Kauai a trip to remember.
