The location was great, across the street from the ocean. You could see the ocean if you stood sideways on the small deck off the bedroom which was a little disappointing but the it was nice to hear it at night. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything that we needed, bed was comfy and the unit was very clean. The owners have done a nice job of remodeling the unit and the surrounding grounds a beautiful. The only draw back was the bathroom, which was VERY small. The closet that contained the toilet and the shower had a door that was 20 inches wide and inside the shower is a 30 inch square, a little tight to move around in. The building is older and upon research I guess some of the units have this tiny shower/toliet so beware if you are a person of any size and height that it will be a tight squeeze. Other than that the location was great and central to everywhere we wanted to visit.

This was our second time to Kauai. We did a very laid back trip this time. We knew where we wanted to go back to revisit/hike. Any time we reached out to Jim he was very quick to respond back to our inquiries. Great location to watch the sunset.

This condo has a beautiful view for an affordable price near the ocean for a couple! It was clean and had everything we needed during our stay.
This was our first time visiting Kauai, we had no idea how humid it would get during the day unlike Oahu & Maui. This condo does not have air conditioning, but it was manageable! It's very common to not have air conditioning in Hawaii. We loved sleeping with the patio doors open at night hearing the ocean waves crashing in & chickens!
It has a great kitchen if you're looking to cook while staying. If you're looking not to cook, The Beach House is across the street from the condo. (Be sure to make reservation in-advance. )
We also loved the private quiet pool. As well as the laundry facility. The condo includes a laundry basket. It was clean and it was nice to be able to do laundry while you're away from home for 10+ days.
We would defiantly stay at this condo again on the south side of Kauai!

What a true gem! We stayed for my husbands 50th Birthday and this was the ideal “home-away-from-home” for building lifetime memories.
From the original correspondence, you can tell that Julie is an owner that genuinely cares both about the property and the guests that stay.
From handwritten instructions, to fresh, Hawaiian coffee for the first day of check in, this host is, quite literally, the best that we have encountered!
This unit is beautifully furnished, clean, well appointed, comfortable and the hosts thought of everything to make this stay utter perfection!
It’s right across the street from the BEST snorkeling in Kauai and if you want to venture further, fill the little ice chest provided with goodies and head out for the day, returning to quiet and comfort.
We cooked breakfast every day, and the kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed to feel just at home.
It’s perfectly located next to all the finest restaurants and shopping. But the end-unit makes it feel romantic, secluded and a world away from other tourists.
I am so grateful that we found this perfect little gem. We WILL return to Kauai soon and we WILL seek out this wonderful place again!
Mahalo, Julie!

This is a well kept older building in a very convenient location across a little road from the ocean. The grounds are beautiful and is next to a sacred park with mountain and ocean views, a great sunrise and full moon experience It's also very close to shops, groceries, and scenic drives.
Other than my choice of a third floor condo without an elevator, it was perfect for me and I even loved the roosters waking me at sunrise.

This condo was right across the parking garage so it was convenient to bring in/out your luggage. Loved the keyless entry which was so convenient and no worries about lost keys. Everything looked new and clean. The kitchen had everything from dishes to pots and pans, toaster, coffee maker, etc. and Ziploc bags.The condo layout made the most of the space. I loved my breakfast on the lanai where I could look at the flowers. I loved walking in the garden with so many varieties of orchids, other plants and flowers. It is a short drive away from Poipu Beach, Spouting Horn, Allerton Gardens and shopping center and restaurants. There’s a restaurant across the street but you need to make reservations. The lawn and seawall was great for watching sunset.

My spouse and I had a wonderful stay here for our south side leg of our Kauai trip! It’s very conveniently located near the beach, restaurants, and shops. It had everything we needed, including towels, beach chairs, and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils/ pans. Plus coming home to air conditioning was fantastic after a hot day at the beach! The only thing I would point out is that the listing stated there were vending machines for laundry detergent. When we arrived we were on a time crunch to wash our clothes, and we couldn’t find any laundry vending machine. So we had to go back in town to buy a large thing of detergent. We left it for future use but would’ve been nice to know.
Otherwise we were extremely happy with our stay!

Our vacation rental experience was very good. We were able to pick up the keys to our poipu stay on our way from the airport in Lihue. Check in was easy. The apartment was clean and well furnished. The location was very nice, close to south shore beaches. Only slight negative was that the shower head is quite short. Other than that, everything else was great.

Great place to relax. Enjoyed snorkeling right in front. The pool was wonderful. We used the BBQ a few times, best steaks ever! We never used the tv, it was a little complicated and unnecessary.
Our only complaints are dull knives and cold with no water pressure or scalding shower.

Overall a nice place to stay in Poipu. Would have been nice to have AC but we survived without. Close to Beach House restaurant and shops. Nice sunset view close by. Also the lock box was kind of a pain to figure out at first especially arriving at night. Ours had a broken key inside.

We had a fantastic stay with Julie on Kauai! The room has everything you need and we loved having meals on the balcony overlooking the ocean in the distance.

This condo is awesome! It’s beautifully decorated with all the amenities needed for your home away from home.. great location across from the Beach House restaurant which is right on the water with beautiful sunset views. We also snorkeled at Lawai Beach which is right next to the Beach House Restaurant. It’s the best snorkeling beach in Southern Kauai. You can rent equipment right there and it’s very reasonably priced.
Colleen and Michael were so easy to communicate with. They gave us many recommendations of places to eat and things to do in Kauai. It was our first time in Kauai so it really was a big help and we really enjoyed all of their recommendations.
The breeze from the trade winds was really nice with the windows and sliding door open. It definitely was enough to keep us nice and cool. We did use the air conditioner at night just so we didn’t hear the chickens and birds which awaken early. They’re all over Kauai 😊
The grounds were so beautiful with fountains and tropical plants and trees. Everything is manicured perfectly.
If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Kauai, this is your place! Hopefully we’ll be lucky enough to return some day and stay here again. We fell in love with Kauai!

We enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning from the lanai with our coffee, and then heading out to walk to shops, sightseeing and beaches. The swarms of parakeets were fascinating to watch both morning and dusk. We enjoyed the resident chickens, too.
The unit was very easy to check-in to, very well stocked, very comfortable, and very clean. Natural ventilation and ceiling fans kept the place fairly comfortable throughout the day and night. The property is nicely maintained. Very nice pool, and clean bbq area.
There were a couple of hiccups, however, the owner was very responsive and helpful. We would recommend this unit

No A/C, the listing was honest but it was extra difficult to manage due to the birds, having the windows and doors open made the stay tolerable but difficult to sleep… but having to keep them open and listening to the infestation of rosters and crazy parakeets every night and morning like clock work made sleeping in or relaxing impossible! Condo was very well equipped and nice otherwise, pool was nice. The island is amazing and overall we had a great time there.

Paul communicated with us thoroughly, and promptly answered any questions. He even emailed suggested restaurants and attractions. Check in was a breeze.
The unit provides so many amenities such as:
Snorkeling items
Ice chest
Large insulated bag
Boogie boards
Two large plush Costco beach towels
Kitchen was stocked including olive oil, balsamic vinegar and quite the selection of spices….many other items too
Washer and dryer in unit was helpful.
We were quite comfortable in the unit and never turned on the TV.
We love the location and shopping for fresh ono to grill on the provided bbq.
The AC and fans were great and comfortable.
We enjoyed having the ocean at the balcony and tropical scenery on the front patio.
We look forward to booking this unit again!

We enjoyed our stay at Prince Kuhio, as it was close to many attractions, clean, and had what we needed for our four nights there. BUT we do feel like the condo posting and information provided at checkin could be more transparent and clear. The reasons for this are detailed below.
First, this condo doesn’t have an ocean view. Yes, if you walk onto the balcony and lean over to the right, it does. But you won’t see the ocean while sitting in the room. Slightly frustrating since this was one reason we picked this unit.
Second, the unit says it comes with soap. It does not say shampoo or conditioner, to be fair, but we did (naively, I suppose) assume that it would come with this. Just one of the many annoying things to realize.
Third, the bathtub was just the smallest tub we have ever seen. Hilariously tiny, but also unusable.
Fourth, the laundry was the most expensive coin operated laundry we have ever seen at a hotel/vacation rental. We did not even realize it was coin operated because it was not clear on the posting unless you clicked to read more details. Also, when it says the laundry is open from 8a-8p, they mean that they will lock your clothing inside at 8p. The signs were not clear about this, and we did have to contact many people on our last night to get it opened since we were flying out at 5a the next day.
Some of these things could have been avoided with a more clear unit posting, which would have made the stay as expected and much more enjoyable.

Everything about this resort and apartment is perfect. The only things I have to say is that we have to take the key at Lihue (30 minutes from Poipu) at 3pm witch is not convenient when you have an early flight. Also, the pool doesn’t have that much sun during the day and the apartment balcony has no intimacy.

Our rental was a lovely unit which had plenty of room for two people with seperate rooms - bedroom, bathroom, Kitchen, laundry and dinning room. It felt like a spacious apartment. Great double wardrobe with full length mirrored doors, plenty of drawer storage too for clothing. There was a real personal touch about the place with a fully equipped kitchen with all the appliances, pots, pans, storage containers, loads of cutlery and crockery that would ever need. A bonus having a dishwasher and clothes washer & dryer in the condo. A lovely tiled Lanai with nice outdoor bar stools and table. The indoor bar stools at the kitchen island bench were so comfy. All the furniture in the living room was comfortable. The bed had a thick soft mattress topper on it which was initially comfortable but a bit too soft for us as were the bed pillows though was nice to have a couple spare pillows in the wardrobe. It was such a treat to get the welcome pack with yummy food treats and so nice they also provided a shopping and cooler bag which we were allowed to take home. The only thing we wished could be changed was the shower - you could not move the head into the centre of the shower because of the shower caddy being in the way. That was really the only real downside to the condo itself. The use of the swimming pool was great & nice to have beach towels and plenty of linen. Coffee machine was great. We would most definitely love to come back to this place again.
