Was the perfect place!

We loved our stay and the unit was great! Spacious, clean, a great ocean view with only a 10 min walk to the beach! It came with all of the amentities we needed and more! The property manager was great and the only thing we contacted him/her about was the TV and they fixed it right away! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

Basic, met needs

The unit needs to be cleaned well and updated. It has a sunrise view, probably nicer before the recent construction. Sunset views can be had within the property. The complex is nicely maintained. Kitchen supplies were adequate, more mixing bowls, tupperware containers and a tea kettle would be nice additions. The smoke detector was beeping. Mgmt did not respond to text. Lightbulbs burned out. Drapes and sofa were dirty. Window in secondary bedroom is broken, did not open. Water and sun damage to flooring. Lots of corroded fixtures, likely due to salt air. These units are selling for over a million dollars, this unit could be quite luxurious with a refresh. Also, damage deposit required, not in initial rental agreement.

Quite place with great views

Stayed for a long weekend and the place was everything we needed. The apartment was clean and had all the essentials we needed for our stay. The property was easy to access and had ample parking. The access to the coast and the nearby beaches was great and an amazing way to start and/or end the day.

Sunrises over the ocean

We will really miss having our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the balcony watching sunrises and sunsets. We even saw the occasional whale spouts. The ocean view condo is in a great location. Walking trail starts next to complex. Wonderful beaches are quick drive. Staying and hanging at the lovely pool and jacuzzi is another great option. Don't forget to smell the plumeria on the way to pool. The unit is comfortable with a kitchen set up with what you need to make meals in unit. The smart, big screen TV is great when taking break from sun or evening entertainment. The trade winds keep the unit cool most days, but on calm days, the ACs came in handy. Be sure to point the living room one toward main bedroom and put ceiling fans on to distribute the cool air. The unit has some basics for laundry, dishes etc. and there is a nice cordless vacuum in the second bedroom closet. The unit is a bit dated, but it was very comfortable for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Apartment

We enjoyed our stay and it is a very nice apartment. Take note: there are 2 portable air conditioners. One in the living room and the other in the second bedroom. It was warm in the main bedroom. Also up and down steps to get to the apartment. Note that for luggage movement. The location is excellent. The apartment is next to a hiking trail that was right next to the ocean and very beautiful. There’s a beach 5 minutes drive away where turtles and seals rest. Kauai is a beautiful and expensive island.

Mixed feelings

We liked the apartment and location very much. The apartment was clean, however, the windows and curtains, and the mirror behind the couch were not clean at all. We were not able to clearly see the outside. The screen of the window in the master bedroom was broken. So, we did not open the lower part of the window. The skirt around the master bed was dirty. The dishwasher did not clean the dishes; I finally stopped using it. Probably the filters need to be cleaned. There was no rinse agent for the dishwasher. Sand from towels or bags from the third floor covered the tables and chairs on the balcony twice. The dishes and utensils in the kitchen were sufficient; I like to have some more forks and knives, also a water heater for preparing tea would be good. We would consider booking this place again if the windows and curtains were clean. Thanks

Perfect

The house was immaculate, generously stocked, and conveniently located where we could enjoy stunning sunsets, visit the giant turtles at their overnight hang-out on Poipu Beach, choose from many restaurants, and walk to the nearby hotel beach. I did not need to contact the hosts for anything (which is more than I can say about the other two places I rented for my three-island Hawaii trip). I would love to stay here again.

Great location, comfortable stay, great property managers

This property was a great value. Had everything needed for comfort. I was under the impression that the portable A/C unit in living room could be used in master bedroom at night, but that is not the case. We were comfortable with the windows open in the master bedroom and use of ceiling fan at night. The A/C unit in the second bedroom works great. The property management company was very responsive. The property itself was undergoing some maintenance on the balconies. It did not affect our use or stay. Just looked a little under construction. A new housing development is going in next door. Construction noise during the day, but not at night. We were typically out and about during the day, so that did not affect us, but could affect others if staying in the unit during the day. Overall, this was a perfect location for our needs.

This condo is located in a really ideal location in Poipu. You can easily walk to several different beaches and restaurants. The view from the unit of the ocean is beautiful and the breezes off of the water are perfect and really helpful on hot days. The condo building and unit are a bit dated and could use some upgrades, but it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. They provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and snorkel gear which was wonderful and we used them daily. Overall, this was a great place and we enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful location in Poipu

We really enjoyed staying here! It’s in a wonderful location in Poipu, where you can walk to beach, grab lunch, or just to take in beautiful views. The condo is very nice in a serene building. It’s very spacious and has everything you need for staying in or going to the beach. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer! A few other reviews mentioned the construction happening alongside, but it never bothered us during our stay. The only thing to note is it does get pretty warm in the evenings even with the windows open, but that is a small thing with everything else being so great!
