The accommodations are top notch from the well equipped kitchen to the very comfortable bed. This was our second visit to the Waipouli resort and will likely be our third. Shopping and restaurants are close by (The Bull Shed was awesome only to be outdone by Hukilau Lanai). Our best excursion this time was Mountain Tubing (highly recommended, so much fun)

The location was excellent for day trips, (especially with kids) exploring the island's north & south coasts, beaches, caves, Waimea Canyon. The condo layout was great with the living area between the 2 sleeping areas. 3 bathrooms (plus 2 across the hallway) also helped for our group of 4 adults, 2 teens + 6 year old. Washer & dryer were a necessity that we appreciated having. There is A/C. Walk-out made for easy access to everything. Parking, check-in were all easy. Kids were well entertained with the pools, hot tubs and the slides, & the Koi pond. BBQs on site were used often. Ocean a very short walk away with lounge chairs available (& convenient for star gazing). Very short walk to Safeway. We were grateful for the cooler and beach chairs for our outings. Staff were great, as were communications & wonderful assistance to get us through our last day's wait for our red-eye flight. Wishes for a successful season ahead.

Host was very communicative and accommodating. They made it very easy to get a hold of them. Even threw in some beach chairs for us to use. The main TV was not a smart TV, but the ones in the bedroom were, so we had to watch movies in the bedrooms. Rental unit was really nice. The facility was superbly clean. I would definitely stay here again. The location was so great to make it to the north and south shores. We loved having the shopping complex across the street with groceries, shave ice, ice cream, and souvenirs, all conveniently located. I loved walking to the beach without even putting shoes on the entire time.

This is the second time I've stayed at the Resort, it's beautiful. Candice was great to work with and very accommodating. The wash machine was broken and they offered to do our laundry for us whenever we wanted it done. When our flight time got changed she has no problem allowing us to check out late on very short notice. I would highly recommend staying with her.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The location was very central to go to the south side and the north side of the island. If you want to hear the ocean and see the ocean this is your place. The condo was clean, well maintained and the perfect size for us. We walked to dinner each evening. We arrived before check in and were allowed early entry since housekeeping was complete.

The property is beautiful. The unit was great. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. My only complaint was that only one of the hot tubs seemed to be hot. The other two were luke warm at best. Also there were kids in the adult hot tubs. Other than that it was perfect.

Location, location, location. The best possible place for easy access to all the popular activities going either north or south around the island. There are other resorts which look very appealing–but they don’t have a traffic light at their entrance for direct access to the highway-VERY useful. This light and crosswalk make for each access to a shopping mall across the street-Safeway, fast food, and a Starbucks. The unit is incredibly spacious and nicely adorned with attractive furniture. The dining room and large lanai off the master have stunning views of the resort’s pools and garden in the foreground and the beautiful ocean beyond where the sun rises–Wow! The resort’s pools are lit at night. In addition to multiple pools, there is a winding river, body slides, and 2 spa pools–1 for adults only! The spas are well maintained and sized for a group. There is a fabulous restaurant on the premises located at the edge of the beach called “Oasis on the Beach”-highly rated on the OpenTable app. The 2.5 baths provide space for larger families. Lots of towels and first-class amenities. The owner has stocked an additional closet with items for water fun: pool noodles, flippers, boogie boards, folding chairs, etc. Beach towels are available at the pool area. The owner, Irina is excellent to work and glad to fix any problem. If you want a great experience, gorgeous view and easy access to all the activities the island has to offer, this really IS the place to stay.

My husband and I just enjoyed a week stay here on Kauai. The room was exactly as expected and the grounds were landscaped beautifully. We even saw a monk seal sleeping on the beach in front of our room. We felt close to everything we wanted to see and do.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent an amazing 12 days on Kauai at Waipouli Resort.From the location, the resort, and the condo unit, everything was perfect!You can begin your morning with a great view of sunrise from the lanai. The resort's lazy river is a wonderful way to relax, and the grounds are very clean and beautiful. Each day, we found Hawaiian monk seals lounging on the beach. The unit is well kept and immaculate. It was perfect for the two of us with a fully-equipped kitchen and comfortable furnishings.Thank you Kauai Remax for the ease and confidence in booking.

Very clean! Bed was so comfy - thick foam pad was like a big hug! Kitchen & Living Room are huge! Easy 1st floor access to parking & pool. Terrific location with Kapaa w/so much good food & things to do close by. Waimea Shave Ice, El Rey Mexican Food, Ross & Safeway across the street. We walked to Bull Shed for dinner! Resort is nice - more kids than expected in October - kept security busy telling them to stay off the rocks, etc parents weren't watching them. Pool is long so pretty easy to find a quiet spot. BBQ grills - 1 worked, 1 didn't so we waited for the working one - no biggie but resort should maintain them. Nice walk along the beach - beautiful- not swimmable. Enjoyed bike oath along the ocean - rented bikes at Holoholo, Tony's Fresh Catch truck was awesome! We would definitely stay here again. Property Manager replaced pans immediately when she heard they were scratched.

We’ve been to Hawaii close to a dozen times, and this is without question the best rental we’ve stayed at, which is no small achievement! The condo is huge, furnished with everything you could need, from cooking spices to a Pack-n-Play, the views of the sunrise and the ocean from all three (!!) balconies really can’t be any better, and the high end kitchen appliances, really nice bathrooms and all around quality of the home was a constant source of appreciation. The location is also terrific, right across the street from Safeway (easy to walk), shave ice, ice cream, and a nice sushi place. However, from the condo, you would never know it was so close to a shopping mall, because the grounds are beautifully manicured and the condo feels remote and quiet. And then there’s the pool! My daughter had the absolute best time in the pool, with the water slides, the lazy river, and the beautiful lawn for lounging. And the beach is right there! We watched the sunrise and walked on the beach in the morning, swam in the pool (safer for little kids) all day, and put our toes back in the sand or looked for monk seals in the evening, all without having to load the kids up in their car seats and drive anywhere. For the excursions we did, the location about 10 minutes from the airport and equidistant from the north and south shores is perfect for exploring the island without spending hours in the car. Also free parking! Rent this place if you’re going to Kauai, this place has everything!!

This beautiful condo is equipped with a super-comfortable bed and high-end appliances, including a beautiful oversized refrigerator. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need for cooking. There are no beach towels and no beach umbrella, so you are on your own if you want to go to the beach. Definitely book this!

We really enjoyed this condo and the amenities. Everything was very clean and the condo was well stocked with lots of extras. I knew the view was facing the parking lot and that didn’t bother our family at all. It was a great corner unit on the top floor. The pool has beach towels available to check out, which was super helpful and we were able to take them to the beach.

Great location! The view from the condo is fabulous! The photos don't do it justice. It is just a short walk to the beach and pool. We watched the sunrise every morning, sometimes from the lanai and sometimes from the beach. The property grounds are beautiful, and the pool is large with many hot tubs and the slides are a lot of fun. There is a small gym that we used as well. We BBQ'd one night. There is a restaurant that is open for dinner. One afternoon they had a waitress coming around the pool area taking orders. That was nice. We highly recommend this property. The condo was spacious and clean. The owners always responded quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

This unit was fully stocked with kitchen utensils, 2 beach chairs, cooler, snorkels and boogie boards. The location of this property is centrally located on the east shore close to shopping. The only thing that was very minor is that the refrigerator had no ice maker. We went through quite a bit of ice in the cooler and drinks. An ice maker probably wouldn't have kept up anyway. Very nice unit. We would stay again.

The room was just like the pictures. Especially liked the ice chest, beach chairs and the great wagon that was in the unit. We used them everyday. The property was beautiful and the pool was amazing! Right across the street there was a grocery store, Food places and ABC store. The host Candace Mack always got back to us when we needed her. We are definitely going to book this unit again!

Been to Oahu and Maui several times, first time on Kauai. Condo was very spacious, very clean. Property location was exceptional, right on beach and pool area was top notch. LOVED the pea gravel/pebble sand floor of the hot tubs (not sure what the official name is lol). Liked staying on the east side of the island and being close to the airport and Costco, and it was easy to drive to all other sides of the island which we did. Also, I did have to reschedule my stay before the second deposit was due and owner was very responsive and helpful in finding other units and booking new dates. Lots of mahalo for the hospitality!

This is our third time staying at the Waipouli Resort. They have an amazing pool, the oasis restaurant on property is great and it’s very convenient location To shopping and groceries.

The condo was great and as shown in the pictures. Well stocked with all you needed to cook meals in. The view is fantastic with an excellent ocean view. The pool area was nice and never had a problem getting a chair. It is in a great central location and it was very handy to have a Safeway and ABC store right across the street. Walked to several good restaurants that were close. Only thing I would change would be to put a king size bed in the 2nd bedroom so it would be the same as the master suite and more comfortable for adults sharing the condo.

I stayed here with family for a week. It was a great location for our excursions and convenient for shopping. It was very quiet and the beds were comfortable, which we all appreciated. It’s a spacious unit with good amenities. The pool was awesome. The security deposit is unusually high and we had other minor issues: the oven didn’t work properly, the look through in one of the bathrooms means you don’t have privacy from each other, you kind of have seating for 4, but it’s a tight squeeze to fit 3 people on the couch. While it’s ocean front and has sand, the waves are choppy and it’s a rocky beach so you probably won’t go in, at least in the fall/winter. Overall, an excellent stay.

All that is necessary for a wonderful Kauai vacation in the kitchen and for the beach are included (and air conditioning) - which in this waterfront property is just steps away. BBQ available and lots is of parking makes this ground floor unit so great. Wonderful pool and hot tubs for socializing really nice in this resort.
