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.

Nicely appointed property with a great view from the deck.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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!

Condo is in great condition with comfortable seating and beds. Cold AC upstairs and in the downstairs bedrooms. Very short walk down the path to the beach. Check in and communication was great. Would stay again.

May 2024

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.

Our family took a spring break trip. This was a perfect location for us. We love the beach and all water activities. Perfect for boogie boarding, surfing and snorkeling. Food options in the area are great! The house was perfect for my husband, me and our two children (12 and 16). The bedrooms in the basement gave us enough space. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. Very thankful for the AC, as we are from the mid west and dread the humidity! The grounds were beautiful and the ocean view was so nice. Never had any trouble finding a parking space. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

The good: The condo was clean & nicely decorated. This particular condo had a surprising amount of privacy with views of the lovely landscaping. All the appliances worked and the kitchen cookware was well stocked. The location was great and the kids really enjoyed the pool. The not so good: The condo is older & the downstairs orange carpet really needs replacement. The patio had zero sound-proofing from the adjacent patios and our neighbors were on their patio all the time. It was like having guests we couldn't see. Although the fans helped, not having A/C made it a bit too warm at night if we closed the windows to reduce sound. The condos in the complex are packed in tight, which felt crowded (it was Spring Break).

We thoroughly enjoyed our 9 nights in this welcoming condo. The location is great - privately situated, but walking distance to two great beaches. The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The management company was super helpful and responsive when we reached out with any questions. Definitely recommend this property!

You cannot beat this location. We loved enjoying the ocean view from the entire top floor of the condo. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property was beautful and just steps from Brennebeck beach. Would definitely return!

April 2024

We loved our time here! The unit was very comfortable, with on-demand AC in the living room and both bedrooms, a small but well stocked kitchen, and balcony with beautiful view of gardens and ocean. The nearby pool was beautiful and both Brennecke and Poipu beaches just a short walk way. The boogie boards, beach chairs and coolers are really nice touches, reducing the need to buy or rent these. We would happily stay here again!

The condo was exactly as described and the owners have thought of everything - including bandaids! We were so appreciative of having this great location from which we could access the entire island.

The condo is close to the beach, the turtles & seals are just a short walk away. The condo is well equipped with beach chairs, coolers, beach towels and boogie boards. We had everything we needed for a great week on the south side.
