Stayed a few nights
We had a wonderful vacation at the Turquoise Turtle house! The condo and location are absolutely gorgeous! The view is great and there is a walking path along the cliff. We got in very late and appreciated the supplies that were in the condo. There are also plenty of towels and supplies for the beach. I had a few questions and the response time was extremely fast. If we are fortunate enough to return we would love to stay here again! Thank you!

Beautiful view!
"Wonderful stay. Beautiful sunrises. Fabulous whale watching offstage balcony in the morning! Good walking path along the ocean. Perfect condo...clean, roomy, nice kitchen. Thank you!"
- Judy

One of the rare condos in the area with air conditioning, this beautifully updated retreat offers a light, open, and breezy atmosphere—an ideal setting to unwind and truly embrace island life.

Step out onto the private lanai and let the Pacific set the mood. Watch waves roll in, savor your morning coffee as the sun rises, or enjoy sunset cocktails as the sky glows. During winter months, you may even spot humpback whales offshore, breaching and spouting in an unforgettable natural display.

Set within a quiet, casual oceanfront resort, the property is surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and colorful island blooms. Guests enjoy access to tennis courts, a shared pool and hot tub, and a scenic walking path that follows the dramatic ocean cliffs—perfect for peaceful strolls and sunset views.

Several of Kauai’s most beloved beaches are just a short walk away. Wander east along the shoreline to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwrecks Beach, or head west to discover turtle coves, Brennecke’s Beach for body surfing, and iconic Poipu Beach—ideal for families. Poipu Beach Park offers protected swimming, snorkeling, and boogie boarding, along with restrooms, showers, and picnic tables. Right across the street you’ll find a restaurant and a favorite stop for shaved ice, while nearby Kukui‘ula Village and Poipu Shopping Village offer excellent dining and shopping options.

Wildlife lovers will be thrilled—sea turtles are frequently seen in the nearby coves, and Hawaiian monk seals often sun themselves on the sand. Be sure to catch the sunset from the benches at Makahuena Point on the makai (ocean) side of the pool area for a truly magical end to the day.

Inside, the condo features a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, stocked with everything you need to prepare anything from light island snacks to a gourmet meal.

The home includes two private bedroom suites, each with its own renovated bathroom. The primary suite features a king-sized bed and sweeping ocean views—wake up to the sunrise over the Pacific without even leaving bed. The guest suite also offers a comfortable king-sized bed, perfect for couples or additional guests. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with granite finishes, new tile, and modern fixtures. A washer and dryer are conveniently located just off the guest suite hallway.

This inviting condo combines comfort, location, and unforgettable ocean views—your perfect home base for an exceptional Poipu getaway.

Disappointing Experience

Staying at this property I feel compelled to share my experience thus far, as it has fallen well short of expectations.First and foremost, the information provided prior to and upon arrival was completely inadequate. There was no mention of the required parking pass, which I only learned about after wandering the condo complex and asking others. This caused unnecessary confusion and stress at check-in.The TV situation has also been frustrating. The remote is outdated and barely functional, and I was unable to sign out of the previous guest’s Amazon Prime account—raising privacy concerns and preventing us from watching anything personalized for our family reunion. Something as simple as watching a meaningful movie together became a hassle.No information about the need for pool keys or other aspects of this setting.The unit is also very noisy. There was a domestic dispute downstairs during our stay, and the overall environment is far busier and louder than suggested in the listing.Make no mistake this is not a resort complex but an active community where people live, is very noisy in the early morning. To make matters worse, communication from both the owner and their listed contact has been weak at best—slow, unhelpful, and not particularly solution-oriented. For anyone expecting a seamless experience or attentive hosting, this property does not deliver.Would not recommend unless significant changes are made to the way the property is managed and communicated.

Ocean view

Condo over all was clean and had amazing beds. Down side is we were not made aware that the lanai was not usable until we arrived and seen note on the door. At the time of the booking it was available. The hot tub at the complex was down also. After stopping for a weeks worth of food, to save money amd eat in. We ended up having to throw most of it out. As the refrigerator went out the following day. So cost more money to eat out. They did have a cooler, but no where close to get ice. The unit is up stairs which wasn't bad. Overall it was an okay unit. Just a few frustrating things that will keep us from booking again.

This is a very old property with many steps. I left a detailed list of 17 things that you should know about to rectify which we were not happy with. You can contact the property manager or me for more details. The shower didn’t work, the washer doesn’t fill adequately, dirt and mold in the air conditioner to name a few.

Great

We enjoyed the location of this property and sitting out in the patio. For the most part, the place looked clean, but we found a used towel left hanging on the bathroom door upon check-in and a small cockroach that came in/out from behind the master bathroom mirror! It also gets hot in the master bedroom so we had to keep the sliding door open to allow air-conditioned air in. Overall, despite these two issues, it was a comfortable stay and an even nicer location.

Know why it's called the garden isle

Rain....rain and more rain... Oh and windy!! Super windy. Maybe not the best time of year. First time to Kauai and found it very lovely but very expensive...more than Maui. Need a car for sure to get around. Not too impressed with the unit. Not sure when it was cleaned last ...found a black hair in the bed and I am blonde gray...blood on the comforter in the other room. Little dated and sure not worth what we paid. Cuz it's Kauai? Orange snow fence around the glass on the deck.... does the unit have issues?? We were not too impressed ...probs last time booking with VRBO because the unit Maui last year was worst

Very Noisy Unit

The unit is on the second floor and very noisy with people walking around upstairs at all hours of the night. We would wake up at 3am to the sound of footsteps- and at 6am, etc. so there must be very little insulation between the floors. There are homes being built next door so you see construction debris. The unit was nicely furnished. The linens were nice and the beds comfortable. The very nice thing is the location to the walking path. It is right on the path with easy access.

Great location and view

This was a perfect size unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and a large kitchen. Location was close to waterfront trail to Hyatt Hotel and walk to Poipu Beach. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pans, but didn't have any coffee filters or salt/pepper. There was plenty of paper products, but missing bath soap and laundry detergent. When walking with socks, the floor was noticeably dirty. Big selection of beach equipment and large towels. Large TV and easy to use remote. We would definitely book this unit again.

Good location & views but could use a deep cleaning, a few basic condiments besides salt & pepper, and instructions for parking, check out procedure, etc. Previous manager’s contact info was listed on the emails I received. Fortunately the new manager was listed on one email and was very helpful. Beds were comfortable, and there was relatively new furniture, granite countertops, etc. but unit definitely showed its age and lack of thorough cleaning. Balcony railing was deemed unsafe and we were warned not to touch or lean on it by maintenance. Definitely showing its age.

Amazing view!

We picked this property because of the location and the view shown in the pictures that accompany the listing. We were stoked when we walked in and saw the view. This location is close to grocery shopping in Koloa, food trucks, shave ice, Poipu Beach, Brennecke’s and a beginner surfing break called Learners located near the Sheraton property at Kiahuna Beach. The unit has ample air conditioning which we appreciated since we don’t have it at home. The kitchen has all the items we need. We love that there is a French press. We took advantage of the ice maker. The landscaping of the complex is beautiful. Additionally, it has easy access to a trail which you can take to Shipwreck beach then walk up a bluff for an amazing view. Jackie, our propriety manager, made sure we were squared away and had everything we needed.
