Watch the beautiful Pacific Ocean, surfers, dolphins, turtles, and whales (in season) from this very popular top-floor condo! It's no secret as to why this stunning one-bedroom oceanfront condo, just steps away from Lawai Beach, is one of the most popular at Kuhio Shores.

Step inside and watch your loved one’s eyes light up as you are greeted by jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean, perfectly framed by a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. With convenient amenities like a building elevator, a 32” cable flatscreen TV with DVD player, wireless Internet, and an iPod dock for setting the mood, you can kick back and let this romantic escape revitalize your spirit.

Open the windows, cuddle up on the couch, and plan your “Garden Isle” adventures in the spacious living room while ceiling fans and a tropical breeze set you at ease or switch on the A/C to cool you down even more. Cook alongside a sea of blue in the newly updated, open-concept kitchen, complete with granite countertops and an eat-in bar. Enjoy romantic dinners at the dining table while watching surfers catch a wave, or, depending on the season, keep a lookout for Humpback whales while dining alfresco on your private lanai.

A plush bedroom sleeps two in ultimate comfort. After a restorative night’s sleep, wake up to the soothing sound of crashing waves to start off a fun-filled day exploring the island.

Modern amenities make your stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Bluetooth stereos and Smart TVs offer the latest in entertainment, and our electronic charging stations mean your group will never have to fight over outlets. Plus, you'll enjoy easy check-in and added security from our keyless Point Central Lock system.

Picture does not tell the whole story

The pictures were accurate but the unit was very tired. The couch and overstuffed chair were well worn. The ottoman you couldn’t sit on comfortably because it had no support. The glass coffe table had a narrow edge and was dangerous. We moved the table out of the way.The living area was very musty. Carpet was old and likely contributed to the musty smell. The air conditioner in the living area did not perform well and did not clear out any of that musty smell. The old, small beach chairs, and very small umbrella in the closet was not really usable for us. We went ahead and rented our own Tommy Bahama chairs and umbrella for the trip.The unit was very clean. The bathroom was nice as it had been updated. All communication with Vacasa and the logistics of renting was excellent.Great view.At 400 a night I did not feel it was a good value.We will try another location next year.

Beautiful view

One elevator for the entire facility and this room is on the 4th floor. Minor repairs needed. Doors, window shades, etc. But they currently have a cockroach problem in the kitchen and throughout the apartment that I sincerely hope they address. They did not seem too concerned but we didnt want to leave our things on the floor or on the counters.

Condo needs a makeover

The view of the ocean was the best part of this condo. However, this location needs a makeover. The furniture is old and dated so it needs to be replaced except for the bed which was comfortable. The TV is too small to view for the distance from the couch. The outdoor patio furniture was dirty and uncomfortable with no cushions. The carpet needs to be replaced and shower door is off the channel. An investment needs to be put into this location to update it and make it functional. For the most part, it was clean. However, the cleaning crew did not open the screen window as we discovered a mound of dead insects in the window sill and had to kill 2 cockroaches during our stay. We also discovered bugs coming out of the kitchen sink drain during the day. This is not a contemporary place to stay.

Amazing views !

Amazing views! We spent hours watching the surfers and turtles. Good location with lots of restaurants near by. The king size bed was comfortable and the a/c was needed and appreciated. The kitchen was well enough stocked for the bit of eating we did at home. The bathroom was nicely renovated. On the downside, the living room furniture was a bit worn and most disappointing was the furniture in the lanai where we spent some time. Please add a bar height table to be able to see over the railing and some comfortable chairs!

The sounds of the Ocean

The location is amazing and conveniently located. When we walked into the unit we could immediately hear the waves crashing. Each morning and evening we enjoyed the views from lanai. The unit was a good size for 2 people, but some of the furniture was “tired” and uncomfortable. It also would have been nice if the bedroom had a small tv for the option to wind down and relax in the bedroom.

Amazing Views and Location

This property was absolutely incredible! The check in process was easy and the place was extremely clean when we arrived. The view is stunning. We enjoyed watching the surfers and even saw some turtles! The location couldn’t be better. Lawai beach was a 2 minute walk and was a great place to snorkel. You’re also only minutes away from Poipu. We really appreciated the welcome gifts and the fact that the rental was fully stocked with everything needed. We would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!

Great view of the ocean with nice waves crashing at night. Kitchen well stocked and bathroom clean etc! Furnishings are looking tired and worn but since we were out and about most of the time we didn’t mind. Overall nice property and good location a bit away from the crowds

Beautiful view, located in a great place!

Beautiful ocean view. Saw turtles daily. Comfy bed and 4 large pillows. Condo stocked with everything you need! So great to be able to use the 2 chairs, umbrella and cooler that was in the unit. 1 working elevator. Lots of great restaurants nearby with the beach house restaurant next door and close enough to walk to. Door lock was a pain and didn’t always work/open the first time. We would stay here again.

What a view!

We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy. We were captivated by the view from the lanai, watching the waves of the Pacific crashing on the rocks below or watching the surfers getting their day going. Sitting outside to watch the sunset was a treat. The kitchen had all the things we needed to dine in, and there were plenty of nearby choices for dining out. We really liked the layout of the unit; you could choose to eat at the counter, or from the dining table that looks out its own picture window, or on the lanai. A nice clean and relaxing place. No complaints whatsoever.

Great Sunsets

The location is central to all the activities on Kauai and as a bonus it has an unobstructed view of the ocean. There is a small grassy area on the ocean side that is one of the best spots on the island to watch the spectacular sunsets. A nice outdoor shopping mall with many restaurants is a decent walk away and on Wednesday’s the mall hosts a market with fresh produce and local vendors. The condo is very comfortable for a couple and all the utensils required to make your own meals are included. Also included are all the beach accessories you will need including umbrella, cooler, and beach chairs. Overall a great stress free vacation spot that should meet all your needs.
