Really nice place for family of 4. Loved the two floor plan, swimming pool and proximity to Poipu beach and Brennecke beach

This place lives up to the photos! Walk across the street to beach and turtles, or just chill by the pool. Sea breezes cool you off at night. Local fruit graces your kitchen. Would return!

The Nihi Kai Villas as a property did not disappoint from the first impression to check out. We will choose the same location if we decide to return to Kauai. From the monk seals and turtles in the surf and on Poipu Beach practically in our front yard to the beautiful spots around the islands within driving distance. Our host was very responsive and our VRBO well-equipped, comfortable and perfect for our needs.

This place was perfect. Plenty of space, clean, beautiful grounds, and most notably the LOCATION! Literally one block away from the beach. We loved how close we were to everything while still enjoying a quiet, private experience. Barbara at Coastline Cottages was easy to work with, even approving our request for late check out. There were beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler, boogie boards and snorkel gear that we used throughout our stay. Truly a wonderful place to stay, could not recommend enough.

Kauai is paradise! We island hopped and Kauai was our second island. We didn’t stay long enough. The island and property are breathtaking. The property is clean, modern, spacious, and has stunning views of the ocean and pool all while being walking distance to beaches and some restaurants. We will be back!

We stayed a couple of nights in July to be closer to Waimea Canyon. The unit is easy to access, just a few steps down from the parking lot. But the back of the unit is elevated, affording great views. There’s great ventilation- possible to have ocean breezes through the living area during the day. We used A/C at night and it was great, too. We were able to cook as needed. The unit was a little hard to find based on instructions because we arrived after dark. It would be clearer to say “Go to the end of Nalo Rd and park upon entering the lot.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great location, nice property, had everything we needed. Some furniture was outdated/old and the bathroom was a little dirty (shower-head and doors), but overall great place!

The view is breathtaking ... worth every penny and more. Such a special feeling to wake up to the sight and sounds of the ocean. The location was ideal with walking distance to Poipu beach and the pool was just a hop, skip and a jump away - pool and beach accessories were provided as well including towels. What a benefit for folks traveling from the mainland. Also greatly appreciated the extra supplies such as toilet paper, Kleenex, dishwasher pods, laundry pods, paper towels, hand soap etc. It's great to not have to worry about going to the store to get those after you arrive. The only downfall was not having air-conditioning. We knew this going in and I thought it would not be a problem for me, but it was. I was hot all the time despite the windows, doors and fans going. This was only a 'me' problem however, the rest of the family was fine with it (I blame it on menopause). Thanks for a memorable vacation.

My husband and 10 year old son loved our stay. The listing is very accurate and a 10 minute walk to Poipu Beach even fully loaded with beach chairs and bags/cooler. There are beach chairs, umbrella, mini cooler and 4 beach towels so truly stocked. Kitchen was well stocked with quality cookware and basic oils and seasonings. Truly a wonderful condo, location and you just need to bring sunscreen and sense of adventure Owner and local team were very communicative and there to help if you need it. Highly recommend. We would book again.

The apartment was great overall, and Steve (the property manager) was awesome. He checked us in quickly and gave us a ton of useful information, including some nice local spots.
The place was pretty clean, apart from some hair on the floor in the bathroom. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen had everything that we needed to cook our own meals. They also had a lot of stuff for us to take to the beach, which was much appreciated! all of the amenities we needed were there, and the girls loved the shampoo and conditioner they provided in the showers. The AC was wonderful and for the most part kept up really well.
You should probably take note that if you are trying to sleep six that one of the beds is a pull out in the main room, and was what you would expect from a pull out. The AC didn't keep up in the main room as well for sleeping (we like it cold), but was plenty comfortable for hanging out during the daytime.
The location is really close to the ocean, and about a 10 minute walk to the beach/park. It was a little hard to find at first, but Steve's direction via email made the process simple. There was plenty of parking, but is a bit of a tight squeeze for big vehicles.
The only real negative is that there were quite a few ants in the kitchen. There is a note about them on the counter, so I'm sure it's something they are dealing with, but it made cooking dinner a little more complicated.
All in all it was a lovely place and a wonderful stay! 9/10.

This condo had everything we needed for our stay in Poipu! It’s spacious with all the amenities you need including beach gear. The walk to Brennecke’s beach and Poipu beach was super quick and easy even with all our gear. Location is perfect. The host was super quick to respond to my questions and very accommodating. I would book again without reservation.

We loved our stay here in Poipu. Just across the street from the beach made our days easy. Chairs and boogie boards were great and the washer and dryer were a plus. Coming from the mountains, we felt hot in the bedrooms but overall we loved this place.

Great location, close to beach! Unit was as described and had plenty of starter supplies. We spent early mornings and evenings on the lanai enjoying the gorgeous view. Quiet area, beautiful landscaping and had the pool to ourselves when the beach was crowded. Experienced a safety issue in the parking lot, onsite mgr addressed immediately. We would definitely stay again.

The best thing about this property is the location. The second best thing was the space for our family of 5 (with 3 older teens). Loved having the boogie boards, chairs, and coolers available, and loved that the beach was just a few steps away! The location was also convenient for visiting Waimea Canyon, Hanapepe, Allerton Gardens, and Kekaha (for our NaPali cruise), as well as a few minutes drive to shops for groceries and shave ice. The property grounds were beautiful, and we loved sitting out on the lanai. The not so good things were: how hot the upstairs got, even with the fans and ac going; the cockroach we found in the bathroom and the little bugs that were all over the kitchen countertops; the bathroom door not locking; and just in general how tired and dated most of the condo was (it had an "old" smell to it).

Just lovely! Perfect location, excellent home kitted out with all the essentials. My kids loved the spray toys for the pool. The views were just killer and we could walk to two beaches in minutes. Watching the turtles at night was so cool.

We have spent many weeks on Kauai over the past 10 years. This was a great condo. BBQ's close and available, great pool, short walk to a fun beach, and the VIEW from the lanai was superb! Well equipped kitchen, which is a must for us.
July 2024
I was very impressed with how well stocked this condo was with cooking supplies. They truely thought of it all. The grounds are spectacular to walk through and observe from the Lani. There are grilling stations throughout the property. A few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants. We nailed it this time. will definitely return to this place in the future.

Air conditioning worked great! Older unit and met all our needs. Walking distance to Poipu Beach. We walked down for shave ice every day!
There are steps down from parking lot and step up into condo! Although with help, my 93 year old mom made it down steps and up into unit.
She spent most of her morning in sun on lanai off her bedroom and then transitioned to large lanai in afternoon and evening.
Kitchen is well supplied and bathrooms off both bedrooms were nice. Plenty of room for 4.

We would gladly choose this place again. It's conveniently close to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, all within a short walk or a 5-10 minute drive. The property was immaculate, the kitchen was fully equipped, and we were pleasantly surprised to find it stocked with 4 beach chairs, an umbrella, coolers, and boogie boards! Communication was prompt and useful.

We had the most incredible stay! It was perfect for our family of 5:). The view was magical and we just walked one block every morning to see the sea turtles! The extra den was a bonus and gave another sleeping space. We loved having the windows open at night and the breeze was perfection. Thank you! We hope to return again some day!

Great location- walking distance to Brennecke and Poipu beaches- nice well maintained pool overlooking the ocean
Newly remodeled kitchen and two modern large full baths- both downstairs
Regretted not selecting a condo with an ocean view- condo had 4 outdoor areas but with no view, plastic chairs and conversations easily heard from neighbors- I missed having an enjoyable outdoor space - felt somewhat boxed in
Also living room furniture could use an upgrade for comfort
Owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns
We picked this condo due to location to the neighboring beaches - which was perfect

We loved this gem! It’s gotta be one of the best balconies in Poipu! It is a short walk to Poipu Beach each and even shorter to Brennecke Beach (great waves for boogie boarding). We loved visiting with the turtles who came to shore around sunset. We had all the supplies we needed for cooking and chairs/boards/towels and cooler for the beach. We traveled with my parents and the separate suites were perfect. Yes, we got lucky because it was everything the host said it would be and more!

The property was clean, comfortable, well-stocked and we could see the ocean from the main lanai. The only note: we had one traveler with some mobility issues, and the stairs to the condo, and within the condo was a challenge. And the two bathrooms were on the floor with the two bedrooms, so a lot more stairs. The property host was very responsive and I would give it two big thumbs up. Near Poipu Beach - great parking and easy access. I'd go back.

The property was beautiful and well maintained. Great ocean views and quick walk to several beaches, restaurants. The checkin process was easy, and the text updates were really helpful. Our condo came with everything you’d need for a great day at the beach - chairs, umbrella, boogie board. And we really enjoyed Brenneke’s beach!
We also loved all the photos of Kauai- so cool!

Great location! Well stocked with kitchen items and lots of fun beach chairs, towels, and toys. Tennis and pickleball court was a fun perk! Had a little issue with the toilet being broken when we checked in but owner was easy to work with to resolve. Had a great time and only bummer was no shampoo/conditioner and couldn't get a late checkout but the last was my fault...I should have asked earlier. Would stay again.
