Everything about this listing is accurate and then some. Solid condo, clean, no noise except the surf, exceptional views and great location. I scored major points with the family by picking this place.

The property location was awesome. The floors at the condo were not clean along with a comforter that had an unidentifiable stain and clearly not washed. The property mgr communicated consistently and did assure me that his cleaning company would be notified.

Nice place but needs some minor maintenance. Views from the deck are awesome with lots of turtles, fish, and waves.

Our family of 5 really enjoyed our stay. The condo was perfect and we had everything we needed. The host was great and responded quickly to our questions. We’ve been to Kauai a couple of times and this has been our favorite place to stay.

This place is spectacular. Not a better view on the island. The location is perfect to navigate around. This unit has beach chairs, towels, washer and dryer. As a vacationer the beach chairs were key. We could explore the island and stop on a beach and sit comfortably.

Perfect condo and forever I will remember watching the ocean and falling asleep to sound of waves crashing. Very comfortable and everything you need including washing machine and dryer. Easy walk to the best beaches for boogie boarding, swimming and watching turtles. View a dream!

Wonderful waterfront unit, within easy walking distance of Poipu Beach. Very clean, modern, and comfortable place. Communications with Melodee was always very quick. We will definitely want to stay there again!

We had the best condo in the best location. Seeing the ocean from the condo was the best feature and why I booked this unit. At about 12:30pm you will see sea turtles come over to the rocks edge to eat. We saw at least three every day. It’s a short walk to grab a bite or to play in the ocean at the park. The condo was very clean and is updated compared to other units. The host was great at checking in to see if we needed anything as well. I’d definitely stay here again.

If you want to hear the crashing of the ocean waves, this is a great property. It was also extremely well-stocked. Probably one of the best stocked vacation rentals that we have stayed at. It was a little small for our family of 2 adults, 3 boys (22,19, 17), however we made it work with supplied self inflating air mattresses. The pool is lovely, and there was always sea turtles in the little bay below the pool. This unit also has a/c and a dehumidifier, so that works out great for the south shore. Very close to nice beaches.

This condo was perfect for our family. And it was one of the few condos we saw that was directly on the ocean in this area of Poipu. We spent so many nights and mornings watching the waves from our balcony and we saw lots of sea turtles each day bobbing along in the ocean. We also enjoyed the beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, and beach towels that were provided. Amazing stay!! Highly recommend!

We have stayed at Poipu Shores often and always enjoy our visit. The property manager was especially responsive to a call for a simple repair.

This place was perfect for a four night stay in Poipu! We loved the location (a short walk to Poipu beach and right above the cliffs) and the set up of the apartment. My husband and I enjoyed putting the kids to bed, sitting on the lanai, and watching the sunset with a glass of wine. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was the perfect addition to our Hawaii vacation!

The condo suited our needs perfectly! Everything was in working order(although the sliding door does still need a bit of an adjustment) there was great customer service and communication! I would definitely stay here again! Mahalo!!

Great property and condo. Owner communicates everything that is needed for checkin and to make your stay easy The view is absolutely amazing. Unit is stocked with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Easy walk to the beach ( we let the kids walk back and forth by themselves ). We had a jeep and didn’t find the parking an issue at all. Overall a wonderful stay and will book again if/when we make a trip across the pacific again

I cannot say enough good things about this property. Everything from communication to the property itself is top notch. We saw turtles everyday from the lanai. You are just a few feet away from the crashing waves on the beautiful rocky shoreline. If you look up "Ocean Front", this is it. If we are ever fortunate enough to be able to return to Kauai, we will definitely be staying here. The room itself had everything needed to create magnificent meals. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom which was fantastic. AC worked great. Poipu is in our opinion the best location on the island. Thanks Sampada for hosting such a memorable week in Kauai!!

This place is amazing and I would come back here in a heartbeat! Walk right outside to see the waves crash on the rocks and incredible sunrise and sunset! Perfect access on first floor right next to the pool too!

Perfect for our family stay. Beautiful view, right on the water. Quiet stay, felt like a family vacation home complete with all the amenities like snorkel gear, books on reef fish, Hawaiian names and meanings, etc. walking distance to great beaches and some restaurants. Loved the AC on warmer days.

We truly enjoyed this condo, the convenient location to Poipu Beach and the stunning views! The fourth floor location was perfect for watching sea turtles below, watching the surf crash against the rocks, and activities down the coastline at Shipwreck Beach. The roof overhang protected us from the rain so we could enjoy the outdoors even when raining. It is a short drive to Koala Town, Poipu Shopping Center and The Shops at Kakui'ula where there are many dining options. The location is a very short walk to Shipwreck or Poipu Beach, so you can avoid the congested parking lots. You can also pick up the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail just up the street to enjoy a beautiful walk along the coastline. We appreciated the thoughtful conveniences such as complimentary shampoo and conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, beach chairs and sun umbrella! The bed and pillows were so comfortable, and after acclimating to the very loud surf, we slept great! A few items in need of improvement would be fixing the sliding screen door, replacing non-stick pans in kitchen, and checking drains on the faucets as they did not go easily go up/down and were slow. Upgrading the hairdryer and adding a lighted and magnified makeup mirror would be a nice addition. Overall this is a super comfortable condo with stunning views and an outstanding location. We hope to return next year!

We had a fantastic family vacation staying here! Clean, comfortable beds, air conditioning throughout, well stocked kitchen (pots/pans/utensils), beach and bath towels. There was even portable coolers, beach chairs and snorkel sets available for us to use. We also took advantage of the gas grills and heated pool.
Amazing views (and sounds) from the lanai of crashing waves! We saw turtles swimming below every day, a pod of dolphins on two separate occasions and even a couple of whales (off season) in the distance. Short walk to Poipu Beach where we saw beautiful tropical fish when snorkeling, dozens of turtles and two to three monk seals resting on the beach daily. Great photo ops! Plenty of shopping and dining options nearby. So happy with our choice!
Sampada was very responsive to any inquiry we had. Check in was extremely easy. You won't regret staying here!

Nice place to stay in poipu! Great access to beach. A little bit difficult to check in and figure out the key situation. Place was well equipped with anything you would need. If you cannot sleep with loud wave noises - this may not be the place for you. The waves do make for a great view and turtle watching.

We had everything we needed and more. Awoke each morning with coffee outside watching the waves crash and breathing the fresh smelling ocean air and plants. Short and beautiful walk to beaches or a swim in the pool. We totally enjoyed staying in this lovely home!

It is a great location, easy walking to Poipu Beach Park! Amazing views off the deck and everything was very comfortable… Beds, etc. Melodee was lovely to deal with and always responded quickly! The only hardship was it is hard to pull yourself away from the lanai! There’s always something beautiful to see! Turtles all day long, we saw dolphins, rainbows, palm trees swaying in the breeze, a mixture of amazing colors in the ocean. You could not peel your eyes away! 100% recommend.

What can be more amazing that sitting on your deck watching sea turtles below? Looking out from the dining room looked like we were on a boat! The bad news, not sure we will ever find a place that is better than this. I also don’t think I’ve ever stayed anywhere in Hawaii without seeing at least one roach, but not even one at this place. Lots of room on the deck with plenty of chairs for the 5 people in our group. I enjoyed the walk to the ocean path to view the sunrise. In early May the temperature was perfect 24/7. We did go to the athletic club to enjoy drinks by the pool, a game of shuffleboard and a morning workout. Beds were comfortable. The walk to Poipu beach was an easy less than 15 minute walk. I highly recommend staying at this condo!

We would 100% recommend this apartment for a stay in Kaua’i. Location was perfect and close to a lot of beaches and restaurants. You cannot beat the sound of the ocean…it never gets old! The condo itself was the best equipped I have ever seen: anything you would need in the kitchen is available. While we didn’t cook there, we could if we wanted to. Everything you need for the beach is available including coolers (with already frozen ice packs), chairs, etc. plenty of supplies available. We highly recommend Poipu shores!!! Would definitely come back.

The unit is just as listed with two very nice rooms and one smaller room, and an enormous balcony. With the cool breezes and the roaring waves, it was really easy to sleep. We didn't spend a ton of time in the unit and only used the pool once, but if we did it again, we'd plan more downtime to just hang out and enjoy the view.
There are only two drawbacks to the unit. The first is that it's on the second floor with no elevator, so it can be challenging to get your luggage and groceries up and down. The second is the parking. All of the cars are parked really tightly and there really aren't a lot of spaces. By the end, we were just parking at the top of the hill and walking down to our unit rather than struggle not to damage our car.

This condo was absolutely incredible! The views are amazing! We sat on the balcony and just watched the waves roll in and the perfect sunsets. We saw so many turtles from the balcony and even some dolphins. Easy walk to the beach.
The condo was extremely clean and had everything needed for the beach. The design is basically like 2 master suites since you can close the pocket door to the 2nd bathroom. Beds and furniture were all very comfortable. Parking was always easily available.
Can’t wait to go back someday! Definitely were spoiled by this place!

Very helpful host. Stunning ocean views (crashing ocean waves could get very loud!). House was very well equipped with beach supplies, wagon, games etc.
Pool was nice but too cold for us to enjoy swimming (even though advertised as heated).

This is our second time renting this nice condo. Yea, the condo is alittle dated and cluttered, with fairly worn carpet upstairs, but the views are simply gorgeous. You can not get a better location than this one! The condo is well equipped and comfortable. We definitely will be returning!

Hi,
Your condo was so beautiful and well appointed, we were so pleased to call it home for our first visit to Kauai. Those crashing waves made us so happy!
The coffee and cookies were a delicious welcome!
We were pleased to discover how well stocked the kitchen was with supplies. Made it is so nice to not have to purchase the baggies, paper towels, etc.
We did wonder about the bathroom fan not working, but Scott said to not bother you about it, not a big deal!?
The only thing we were missing was a pen by the phone (once again, no biggie)
I was missing a bedside clock, since we had turned off our phones to avoid getting calls/ texts from home ( 3 hour difference!). I’m just one of those people who gets up in the night and wonders what time it is, haha.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo with us! It was a memorable birthday experience!
Warm regards!

The views from Mike & Melodee’s place are absolutely breath taking. We enjoyed watching the turtles ride the waves and walking down to Brennicke’s for a bite to eat & a cocktail. Hanging out at the pool & the beach also within walking distance where you may see turtles napping and or a seal. Perfect location, so close to shopping and all kinds of restaurants. We made breakfast every day at the condo, the kitchen has all you need to cook if you decide to do so. Highly recommend this beautiful condo!

The title we picked is the same as the owners, and we felt it captured the unit. This unit is small, but had everything we needed. And frankly, sitting on the deck to relax, eat, read were what we enjoyed most. The ambience of the condo with the proximity to the ocean is what makes this place so special. Do not hesitate to pick this condo for a great vacation!
