Our Second Stay

We had another wonderful stay at this beautiful place. Mahalo for sharing it with us. The redone kitchen looks great, and we appreciate the use of the beach chairs, umbrella, etc. Lots of time was also spent relaxing on the patio and watching the turtles swim by. It was a lovely place to be for Christmas.

Kauai vacation

My husband and I stayed at this property for four nights. It is a great place to kick back and relax. The building was very clean and quiet.We had a slight problem upon check in but it was resolved quickly. The owner was very responsive in taking care of the issue and treated us to dinner for the inconvenience. The condo was very clean. The kitchen well appointed with modern appliances, cookery and dishes. The best feature is the location. We enjoyed coffee on the terrace while watching the sunrise on the water. On the opposite side of the building you can watch the spectacular sunsets. The Beach House restaurant is within walking distance and a great place for sunset dinner/cocktails.We took advantage of the beach chairs, umbrella and towels that were provide. We mostly went to Poipu Beach. You can snorkel, surf and swim there. We spotted several sea turtles and seals there too.There are some small shopping centers (3 within 2 miles) with restaurants, shops and a couple of small grocery stores. The larger grocery store are approx 15-20 drive from there.I would recommend staying here if you’d like to relax, kick back and enjoy a beautiful view!

Poipu Condo

Kuhio Shores complex was older and less maintained than we had hoped. Condominium itself had recently updated kitchen that had everything needed for a stay which was nice. Balcony overlooked inlet on one side and busy road to the left. Easy check in process and owner had great communication. Upon arrival noticed couch and loveseat were quite stained and dirty looking- owner responded assuring he would put that on list to get cleaned .There was an insect issue- notified owner and he said he would pass on for additional services . Overall this wasn’t the area/ place we think we will be returning to- we enjoy the North shore more. We did however appreciate owners timely responses.

Nice Poipu setting

This compact condo provided a nice setting for exploring Poipu. The condo was well appointed and immaculate, but very compact-- the bedroom was a particularly snug. The unit is located on the end of the building, with a view of a busy street as well as a cute inlet, so at times the traffic noise was louder than the ocean noise. The unit faces east, so we enjoyed breakfast watching the sunrise on the lanai. A quick walk to the beach nearby also allowed us to watch beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed the next door restaurant- the Beach House. The property had easy parking and was close to a grocery store and other shopping. We enjoyed hiking the Heritage Trail and visiting Poipu beach to see the sea turtles. The owner was fairly responsive, although we experienced some with delays due to his travel. Overall, we would rate this a 4.5.

Exceptional Condo with Fabulous Views

We enjoyed this nicely furnished condo with everything visitors could want during their stay. The open concept living/dining/kitchen area was perfect for two persons, and the bed was comfortable. What we enjoyed the most was the great view facing east, so beautiful sunrises were a treat. A sunset view is a two-minute walk to the west side of the building. The third floor location was ideal - we could watch sea turtles and wild parakeets every day! A parking tip - do not park under the trees if possible, as birds congregate nightly to roost and your car will be a mess! We highly recommend this condo unit - communication with the owner was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by John Sittner

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We like Kuhio Shores because of the full East Ocean View enjoyed from inside the condo and while relaxing on the over-sized Lanai. The grounds of the complex are immaculate.
The location on the sunny southern side of Kauai, right near all the best beaches, make it a perfect choice. We strive to consistently exceed our guests expectations, working to achieve the same level of hospitality that we ourselves expect every time we vacation. When you enjoy your stay please tell your friends and visit us again.

What makes this property unique

Kuhio Shores is unique among oceanfront properties in its proximity to the ocean, which is quite literally, less than 50 feet away. The sound of the surf and the trade winds waft through the condo when the lanai doors are open. Our aim is for our guests to find just about everything they would want to have in their own Island Paradise home, from gourmet cooking equipment and supplies to copious linens and personal care supplies. Staying at our condo comes with the added benefit of discounted car rental reserved exclusively for our guests. There is an additional charge for the rental car.

We stay in our condo several months a year and we will welcome you into our condo in just the same way we love to arrive when we visit.
