Kauai Oceanfront, Poipu 'Jewel on the Sea', AC, swimmable beaches, Kuhio Shores

305 Kuhio Shores — “Jewel on the Sea”
Oceanfront Romance on Kauai’s Sunny South Shore
The moment we walked into what would become our Kauai home, we were speechless. The sweeping views of the Pacific, lush green mountains, swaying palms, and crashing waves felt almost unreal.
Perched directly on the ocean at Kuhio Shores, our beautiful third-floor condominium offers an experience unlike anywhere else on Kauai. From the lanai, you can watch sea turtles feeding below. From our property, see surfers riding world-famous breaks, whales passing in winter, and the moon shimmering across the water at night.
Located beside Lawai Beach, one of Kauai’s most beloved snorkeling spots, you can step outside and swim among tropical fish and turtles in crystal-clear water. The famous Beach House Restaurant is next door, along with scenic coastal walks, shops, art galleries, and the beauty of Poipu’s South Shore.
Inside, the condo blends tropical elegance with comfort and tranquility:
-Air conditioning in the bedroom
-Unobstructed ocean views
-Luxury Cal king bed with premium linens
-Fully equipped kitchen
-Spa-inspired Italian marble shower
-Fast, secure Wi-Fi and workspace for remote work
-Spacious lanai with chaise lounges and dining area
Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, special occasion, or simply need time to reconnect and recharge, our “Jewel on the Sea” was created to be a peaceful and unforgettable retreat.
We also welcome you with an Aloha Basket of coffee and snacks so you can begin relaxing the moment you arrive.

The listing is deceiving. Claims there is AC which is a non negotiable for us and it only had a mini split which only cooled the bedroom. Was hot in the rest of the unit. The view was beautiful and the bed comfortable but for 350 a night we would have kept looking. The move in directions didn’t have the unit number so had to call the management company for that. Messaged the host a direct question on suggestions to go for anniversary and was ignored. Had the bare minimum. Broken umbrella and 3/4 fins for snorkeling. Grateful the view didn’t disappoint.

The location, the view, the parking, & the amenities couldn’t have been better. Very very comfortable. The location made it very easy to do & see everything we wanted. So glad we chose the south shore & this property. I hope to be able to stay here again on our next trip here. Received great info & instructions prior to arrival which was highly beneficial. Highly recommend!!!

Such a beautiful view with a great location. The apartment is a little outdated but it was clean and comfortable so really no complaints there. We enjoyed the sunset each night and spent our day doing some of the best snorkeling right out front. We saw turtles and all kinds of fish! The host gave us a great hiking recommendation that ended up being one of the things we enjoyed the most about our trip!

The condo is as described. The AC was appreciated in the bedroom and cooled off nicely. We made good use of the snorkeling items in the closet. Before you buy a cooler the condo has a small and larger one to use along with chairs and umbrellas. It was relaxing to sit on the lanai and watch the turtles poke their heads up. Many used the cove to snorkel and scuba dive. It a perfect location to view the sunset just around the corner of the building. Thanks for a great stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is located in a great part of Poipu and close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. The condo is very well kept and clean. Host was easy to contact and check-in is simple. Pictures in the listing are spot on, including the amazing ocean view. We would stay at this condo again.

Killer location!

We had a great stay at Kuhio Shores. Closet had 4 beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and hats. Kitchen had everything we needed including a little rice cooker and kettle. Great morning views from the lanai, quick walk to Beach House and Lawai Beach for snorkeling. Building is older Hawaiian style so it is comfy and quiet instead of glossy like a big new resort.

Stunning views

This condo has a stunning view from the lanai. I watched turtles every day from the lanai. The condo has most everything you need. The A/C in the bedroom works well, but the rest of the condo stayed really warm even with the doors/ windows open and the fans going. There were only 2 bath towels/person & 1 hand towel/person with no bathmat. The condo listing shows that it has a washer/ dryer, but it is not in the condo. They are available on each floor, but their are 2.50/load for the washer & 2.50/load for the dryer. A little disappointing especially with limited towels. I would recommend staying here as long as you are aware of the quirks of the property.

We had a great time, convenient location to explore the south shore. The water and sunrise views were wonderful. Well equipt room. Parking was free and right at the building. Restaurant was right next door so you never needed to travel for dinner but make reservations. Just don’t park directly under the palm tree at the condos, bird poo but everything was great. We would stay again.
