We had an amazing stay and would come back again. The condo was beautiful and had all of the essentials and more! The beach was within walking distance and was very nice. The location was ideal and within walking distance to shopping and eateries. I would definitely recommend to stay here.

It was our second time staying at Poipu Kapili, and it did not disappoint! The sunset views from the wall were breathtaking, and we were lucky to spot sea turtles two nights in a row. The unit was spotless, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to make our stay comfortable. The location is unbeatable, with easy access to the beach and nearby shops and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back for our next visit!

Fantastic resort in a great location.
Condo unit overlooks the pool and ends the day with a beautiful sunset view. Close access to beach, restaurants, golf courses and more.
Thank you for making our 30th Anniversary so special.

First and foremost, this property is incredibly beautiful— even better than shown in the pictures—and the location is perfect. The only things that kept me from giving it 5 stars are as follows:
Air Conditioning: The air conditioner in the master bedroom needs an upgrade. It is a portable unit connected to the outside wall with duct tape. It's really loud and inefficient due to the exhaust duct leaking a considerable amount of hot air back into the room. If this were a second-floor unit where the doors could be kept open without security concerns, the breeze might be enough for the evening and night without additional cooling, but not after the daytime heat build-up from being closed. On a side note, the door screens could use some attention as well. I’m from Texas and appreciate any A/C, but this is a million-dollar condo and should have a professionally installed unit in the master.
Cable Box: We were never able to get sound from the cable. The owner was contacted, but the problem was never resolved. This was simply a nuisance, but it would have been nice to hear the activities on the Kauai channel and local news. Streaming worked fine.
Coffee Maker: The Keurig worked well, but we bought ground coffee to save on plastic. The small 5-cup drip coffee maker took so long to brew that it would cut off at 4 cups. A new 10 or 12-cup coffee maker would make mornings a lot nicer.
Overall, I highly recommend this property.

The accommodations were really nice, better than advertised. The furnishings are beautiful and so tasteful. Everything necessary to make your stay just like home. Great support from the property manager if needed. Absolutely will stay again! Don’t hesitate to book.

Would stay again in a heartbeat! Super clean, super comfortable and every amenity you could want. Owner was easy to communicate with and very responsive. A/c was a plus as was the washer and dryer. The pictures really don’t do it justice! Hope to stay again soon.

Poipu Kapili was a wonderful place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The condo was just perfect. It was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and much more! The view from the patio is simply breathtaking. It was convenient to be garden level with a quick walk to the pool and the beach across the street, where we loved watching sunsets and sea turtles. It is close to shops and restaurants both by foot and car. The hosts were very helpful, easy to get in touch with, and very responsive. We especially appreciated their tips such as stopping at the grocery store on the way to the condo from the airport and restaurant suggestions. We also were provided beach chairs, towels, snorkeling equipmen, and coolers. This was so great for the days we spent at the beach. We are already talking about going back!

Downstairs toilet was broken the whole time and communication wasn’t great. They said it would be fixed but it never was. I understand things happen and overall everything was good.

Sunset views from patio and living room. Great location. Plenty of beach accessories. Kitchen had everything you’d need. Was one of best condos I’ve rented in Kauai - been coming for over 30 years.Higher end amenities

We loved the location of this condo — just a stone throw from the ocean and close to great beaches, shopping, and many restaurants. The condo was as described. Great little pool. Comfortable bed. With no central AC it got a bit toasty in the afternoon. We used the AC unit in the bedroom during the night. Having two baths was a plus.

We had an amazing time. The condo was great. Loved having two bathrooms. Location was perfect. Views forever. Only complaint was not having a/c in the unit. It was very hot and humid and pretty uncomfortable. The bedroom does have an a/c unit which was our saving grace. We wouldn’t have been able to sleep otherwise.

We really enjoyed staying in this property! The host did his best to try to accommodate us to let us put our staff in the fridge and check in early. The unit is very comfy and cozy. The ocean view is gorgeous. We are sure to come back here next time.

Everything it promised in the listing and more. Kitchen… quality appliances and ample dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils. Bathrooms clean with ample TP for our stay which a lot of places just give you a role or two and then you need to buy. That seems like a small detail but this property covers it all including the little things like that and I appreciate that kind of attention to detail. Washer dryer was a huge plus, full size and quality. Pool and beach towels quality and beach chairs and more were available for our use. Cynthia was responsive prior to and during our stay to answer any questions I had. I plan on returning to this property again!

Beautiful property & condo. Superb communication upon booking through departure. Great location, walkable or simple short drive to shops, beaches, golfing & restaurants. Highlight was watching waves & sunset from inside the condo or outside on the patio.

We loved our stay at Poipu Kapili. The condo was beautiful and ideally located. The area was peaceful but also very close to lots of good restaurants, beaches, and shops.
The condo itself was very spacious and clean, and the view of the ocean from the balcony was spectacular. We loved our lanai! There were several useful amenities in the condo, such as beach chairs. We did wish there were a few more toiletries, but we had everything we needed overall.
We look forward to returning to Poipu Kapili again!

We chose this property because I wanted a view of the ocean and an easy to access pool. The southern coastal views, and the quiet neighborhood with no road noise, was why I chose to stay here. The bedroom has a stand alone AC unit that cools the bedroom down and it’s possible to leave the screens open with louvered doors securely in place, for ventilation. Nicely appointed furnishings; we would stay here again.

We just stayed on this property last week. We were 6 friends traveling together. This is a beautiful property and a stunning location with water views all around. We spent a great deal of time enjoying the pool. The home is well appointed with every amenity necessary. Belle, who is the owner was very responsive and checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If we go back to Kauai, we will definitely check to see if this property is still available for a return visit.

This was a beautiful condo with nice ocean views and 50 yard walk to the water. It is clean and modern inside with many upgrades. The beach chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear and cooler made for convenient day trips to the beach. The pool was never crowded and made for a pleasant way to cool off after day excursions. Jerry and Amy were very good hosts and quickly responded questions and were proactive in their communications. The only awareness is the condo does get warm during the day, although the only air conditioner isin the bedroom helps cool it down for sleeping it is a bit noisy. Reading previous guests comments helped with recommendations to open the sliding blinds in both bedroom and lanai for cross ventilation. Guests will have to decide for themselves whether it is secure enough to sleep with the doors open. Enjoy your stay. Mahalo!

This was a spacious and lovely unit. Poipu is a great location for beaches, sunsets, shopping and sunshine. We were lucky to see monk seals resting on the beach at Poipu--magnificent creatures. In general the unit is well stocked. I would recommend that the master bath have some renovation--toilet is extremely low and the shower stall is small. The other bathroom was the one we used which was better equipped. The property is well maintained and the fellow residents were friendly.

This spacious condo is perfect for a relaxing Kauai vacation. It has a great location with a beautiful view of the ocean from the living room and patio. We also appreciated the 2 bathrooms and well-appointed kitchen. Hosts were available and communicative every step of the way. You can easily walk to the Sheraton Hotel beach or Poipu beach.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying here in Kauai. The property was very nice and came with many amenities. We enjoyed the pool and tennis courts. The location was great as well. It was very close to the beach. The property manage and the owner were very nice and answered all our questions. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. We will definitely rent this property again on our next return.

This condo is in the perfect location for visiting Kauai. Easy access to all sides of the island. The condo itself was fully stocked with all the items you need for a short or long stay. We stayed 5 nights and cooked breakfast every morning and sat on the patio and ate and gazed at the ocean. It was the best! Bed slept very well and having 2 bathrooms make things very convenient. No fighting for getting ready space! AC worked very well too, very important for travelers from a hot summer climate.
Also beach chairs, umbrella and other beach items are included!
Thank you Cynthia for a great time!! We will be back!!

The property was perfect, within walking distance of Kiahuna Beach and Poipu Beach, but tucked away in a quiet location with incredible ocean views. Communication with the owners and the check in process was easy. Will definitely look forward to staying here again next time we're in Kaua'i!

Poipu Kapili was a beautiful and wonderful place to stay. It was exceptionally clean, had everything we could possibly need as far as cooking utensils, pots and pans, dishes and silverware, linens, bathroom products, beach towels, and etc. The balcony gave us a wonderful view of the swimming pool and ocean. The beds were so comfortable.
We hope to return.

This was an amazing stay at this condo. What I liked the most is the owners provided the little but important things that are usually overlooked until you need them. Thea items were tin foil, garbage bags, laundry soap to name a few.
The place is very well stocked with these easy to forget items.
The location is amazing as it is right across the street from the wall. Which is where everyone goes to watch the sun set. This may sound like it would be a problem but it is not at all. It is a quiet event in which people gather in relative silence.
Speaking of location you are no more than 5 minutes walking distance to the beaches near the hotel or a slightly longer walk to the beach that offers a bit more calmer waters. Either way the walk is amazing
Would definitely stay again and would strongly suggest this unit be a strong contender in your accommodation decision.

This was our second visit to The Garden Isle introducing it's incredible beauty to our 12-year old son. We selected the property based on it's location and reviews.
Pluses ... Oceanfront patio with views to die for, very spacious property with good amenities exactly as described in the listing, convenient location in Poipu/Koloa with easy access to fabulous beaches, incredible walking trails and everything else, pool and grills, excellent communication with Corey (property manager), super easy check-in.
Minuses ... None.
We will return.

We stayed in Michael's condo for our honeymoon trip. Every little detail is considered in this condo. Light switches are labeled and the guest book is full of excellent detail as well. Location could not be better. We were within 3 minutes of anything we needed. We sat on the wall across from the condo every morning and watched the sea turtles play in the surf, layed around by the salt water pool in the shade (which was plentiful), walked to the Luau at the Sheraton resort and just had the most wonderful time. Michael was fast to respond, friendly to talk to and gave us late check out on short notice for a very reasonable rate since our flight wasn't until 9:00pm and our day plans got cancelled. 10/10 experience and we will likely be back!

![Ocean and Sunset Views on Kauai]()
We stayed at this property for 10 days. The views of the ocean from the living area and master bedroom were spectacular. The kitchen and guest room had views of the pool and grassy area that included lots of palms and flowering plants. Sunset views from the property were looked forward to daily. There were sunset spectators but they were respectful and were always gone shortly after the sun went down, we never had excessive noise. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and utensils and the upstairs bedrooms do have an air conditioning unit. The first floor even with sliders all opened was incredibly warm in the afternoon. We tried not to use any of the lights on the 1st floor to try to keep it cooler and more tolerable. The condo is about a 5-10 walk to a local coffee shop and the walk to Poipu Beach took about 15. We enjoyed several meals in Poipu but really found ourselves enamored with the small town of Koloa, about a 7 min drive. We would recommend any family to stay at this rental.

We have eyed this property on previous stays. It did not disappoint. Views are amazing. Great flow through air. Be aware there is no air conditioning on the main level and individual units in the bedrooms. It can be warm at times mainly late afternoon as the sun is setting. We didn’t mind at all. Love it here and would stay again no hesitation. Thank you.
