We enjoyed our stay here and everything was clean and well equipped. This unit is not as updated as others that we saw in the same building and there are no tvs in the bedrooms but it wasn’t a big deal because we were rarely there. The turtles in the cove were a highlight for us, as were the dolphins and whales! Very easy walk to the beaches and the pool was warm enough to enjoy in November!

The property looked tired and in need of an refresh. Patio doors would not lock, screens all fell off the tracks. Multiple electrical receptacles were not working. No room in kitchen to store food. Not a true 2 bedroom. There was only a very small loveseat in the living room for two people to sit. No dining room table. None of the bar tables on the lanai were very comfortable. Will not return.

Condo was cozy. Good location, pretty view. Loved that we could open the windows at night and hear the ocean from the bedroom.
It would be nice to have towel racks in the bathroom, no place to hold towels to dry. Bathrooms are small, no counter space for personal items.

Book this place! Thoughtfully appointed with everything you need - even laundry detergent. The beds were comfy and the air conditioning worked great, but the best part were the views: cute turtles every morning and amazing sunsets every evening!

The location of this property on the south shore of Kauai was perfect for our needs. The condo was very clean when we arrived. It had good view of the ocean from the living room, bedroom and the lanai, and was within walking distance to town and beaches. (The hedges in front of the lanai could be trimmed to sitting eye-level for a better view f the ocean.) The condo was very close to the pool which made it convenient to use. The condo was well equipped. It had all one needed in the kitchen; the two bathrooms had walk-in showers; very comfortable bed in the master-bedroom (we didn't use the second bedroom); and a fairly comfortable couch in the living room. All-in-all, we had a great stay!

This unit affords impressive views of the ocean, the community pool, and up the coastline. You can’t be much closer to pounding surf without getting wet! With both a lanai and an upstairs balcony, there’s plenty of outdoor space to enjoy it all.
The interior is very comfortable—good king mattress, good living room seating, and an especially well equipped kitchen. Beach equipment is provided too.
Depending on nearby neighbors, there’s always the potential for noise, but we found this unit to be quiet.
When issues arose, the rental agency was quick to respond. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot and greatly enjoyed our stay.

Location was perfect, but with the view it was hard to leave the condo. We watched all the sea life as well as a breaching whale. Kitchen was appropriately equipped, beach items were all clean and good working order. We had a great stay and will be back!

The owner thought of every detail to make our stay at the condo very enjoyable!! The condo was clean and well stocked with enough towels, beach towels, beach equipment, etc. The binoculars were perfect to zoom in and watch the many sea turtles below our lanai. You are able to get an idea of view from condo in real time from “Live Cams”, as the camera is right next to the condo pointed in direction of Poipu Beach. The condo is in a great location to walk to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach. It is also within walking distance of the Lava Arch Beach, which has access to a trail that connects to Shipwreck Beach and the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail…it was a very convenient trail to walk to the Grand Hyatt for breakfast at Ilima Terrace and dinner at Tidepools (even though kitchen in condo was well stocked, being on vacation I opted not to cook). Ear plugs were provided and appreciated in the second bedroom, as the window isn’t sound proof so you are able to hear people in hall coming and going. Master bedroom/bath is on the ocean side so all you hear is the soothing sounds of the waves (no ear plugs needed)!

Lovely location but the place while essentially clean had some sticky, dusty areas and had a mildew/mold smell that was particularly prominent in the second bedroom (non-view). The latter also offered no area to change privately after a shower except the bedroom but because bathroom was not en-suite, you had to go naked from the shower to the bedroom with a big mirror reflecting your nudity from the opposing wall in the LR/DR.

I brought my mom to Hawaii for her first time and this condo was perfect! It is spacious, extremely clean and the location is perfect. We loved seeing the spray of the ocean from the living room and falling asleep to the crash of the waves was magical! The condo is older but very clean and comfortable We had a few issues while there that were handled quickly (was not clear how to lock the front door after opening it with a code, the electrical in the kitchen went out). A few notes that would have been good to know in advance: 1) the condo is on the bottom floor but you have to take the elevator down to it (or walk a stone path) from the parking lot. 2) the kitchen is FULLY stocked with anything you can think of to cook, however it would have been great to have basic salt and pepper 3 ) the condo has round/flat bottom coffee filters provided but the coffee maker takes cones. We made it work pretty much. 4) the condo has great access to the pool through the grass (otherwise you have to go down very steep steps from the 2nd floor) 5) the garbage situation is strange. You have to take the garbage up in the elevator to the lower parking lot and throw in the dumpster. This is different than the instructions (but what the property people told us) 6) the parking situation is a little tight. We always had parking but the lot has three levels and is narrow. 7) the walls are thin. The people above us were out on their lanai at 6am everyday and I would hear everything they said from the bedroom.

Best thing about the stay is the view, it is spectacular and easy walk to two main beaches in Poipu.
Condition of the property is poor and by far worst in my 5+ stays in Poipu. Broken doors, knobs, electrical outlets that short, ac is a little unit in primary headroom.

This was centrally located for all the things that we wanted to do, and perfect for the 4 of us. Definitely enjoyed the waves crashing during the nighttime

The condo is located in a complex that sits directly on an ocean bluff. The sound of the ocean from the condo and patio area was AWESOME! The complex pool also sits directly over the bluff which was wonderful and relaxing. The complex is dated and part of the pool fencing was broken and coned off during our visit, but it didn't stop us from enjoying the pool area. The unit itself is roomy ([plenty of room for two couples) but could use some maintenance. The A/C units are rusty and the unit could use a new coat of paint. Also, just be advised, there are no kitchen condiments other than salt and pepper and a coffee sampler, so if you plan to cook at all bring your own oil, spices, etc. That said, we thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful location and the pool. It is within walking distance to restaurants, etc, and the turtles at Poipu Beach!

We were very happy with the condo. It wasn't as large or updated as some we've stayed in but it was very comfortable. The location was amazing and we will stay there again for that reason. You're practically right over the water and can hear the waves crashing even with the windows closed. Being able to see sea turtles all the time was amazing and I saw dolphins a couple times. Having the pool right over the rocks and waves was an added bonus. Melodee and Michael were great about communication! We will definitely go back!

Such an amazing location, a perfect place to spend the day at or come home to at the end of an adventure! My wife and I had such a wonderful time here on the South Shore, and were amazed by the views right from the condo and the pool. The condo has everything you need, and we definitely felt it was worth every penny. Our only downside was the extra expense of the athletic club, which we never visited because there was so much more to do.

We had absolutely the most wonderful week at Sea Cove Hideaway! Our unit was beautiful with incredible views. It was clean, we had everything we could need and check in was a breeze.
It was right up the street from some great beaches. We watched the sea turtles every day for the upstairs balcony. The wave crashing along the rocks was so beautiful!
We would love to come back someday!

We loved the location of this place, we could walk the beach and get to some food options and was close enough to make a short drive to several different areas. The place was amply furnished and the only complaint is rather silly, but I was looking forward to try the adjustable bed and there was no remote found that would allow to operate it, very minor - all was great.

Previous reviews and location led us to this condo and we were not disappointed!
Loved it because: 1. location on Kauai (Poipu beach area): walk to great beach for snorkeling, sunsets from porch 2. very nice condo: great main TV (new since photos on VRBO), new appliances (again, newer than photos on VRBO), A/C units cool quickly when get home, backpack beach chairs in closet and MUCH more for renters to use at the beach; and 3. great service from Sampada the owner!
Thanks!!!

The condo at 103A Poipu Shores was more than we could ever hope for. It was spotless and had all the amenities. The a/c was amazing during a very warm week. It was close to everything we wanted. Great beaches, restaurants and turtles. It was great watching them come ashore on Poipu Beach. The perfect location. We will definitely be back.

Hosts amazing to accommodate you If you need them. 5⭐️ + Highly recommended this piece of paradise 🥰

Property was clean, king bed was very comfortable. Lots of great amenities.we will be back!

This unit would have been a 5 star with the exception of the air conditioing. As we could cool down the 2 bedrooms upstairs eventuallly (helped closing our doors) the main floor was unbearable. All 4 of us women were sweating. The office was very apologetic and did get us 1 fan, the repairman came on Friday (we checked in and notified the office on date of arrival) the missing part would not be available til Monday - which was check out date. So many other options but none was taken.

This was a perfect condo for our first visit to Kauai. Amazing location with lanai overlooking ocean with views of turtles and dolphins. Close walk to beach for snorkeling and boogie boarding. Everything for beach fun supplied in unit. Unit is clean. Comfortable beds. Only a/c unit is in Main bedroom and could use more. Pots and pans are poor for cooking but kitchen is well supplied. No extras for cooking have to supply own spices, condiments,etc. Washer and dryer in unit really useful for daily beach clean up. Parking spaces are plentiful but a little tight. Best for midsize or smaller vehic

This property was nice, but the parking situation was less than ideal—spots were small and limited. The location was fantastic; we saw numerous turtles from the lanai and at the pool, and we even spotted one on Poipu Beach! However, the room could have been cleaner; there were some cobwebs, and the windows were quite dirty. The photos suggest a clear view, but the dirty glass really dampened the experience. Additionally, the lower chairs on the lanai made it difficult to enjoy the view, as we were mostly looking at the bar or the grimy glass. Despite these issues, we did enjoy our stay overall.
