Great Value

The condo is in an excellent location next to the pool and minutes walk to the beach. The loft can get hot and its air conditioner doesn’t function as well as the main ac. That said everything else was great.

Paradise Found!

We loved our stay! The condo looks just like the pictures and provided a great space for our stay. The view was stunning and we couldn’t get enough of sitting on the lania. The pool was loved by our kids and was very clean! The location was best of all. Easy walk to Poipu beach and 15 minute walk to Shipwreck beach. The grounds where beautiful and we enjoyed how easy is was to walk to the beaches or to the coffee in the morning. Can’t wait to come back!

Hot perch overlooking ocean

We visited and stay in Kauai, many times before. It's, the best island for us. And throughout the years we develop some notion, where to stay and what is best suitable for our budget. But, one could never know what is awaiting for him, before he arrive at his destination. We took a risk in renting a condo overlooking busy area in the beautifully manicured resort, with a promising view of the ocean. Tenis courts and swimming pool area under your balcony prove to be a mistake. As far as the condo itself? Well, let just say, if you like it hot, you will be fine. Our host was responsive to our needs , we thank her for that.....but my advice to her will be this. If you want your customers to be happy in your condo, please make sure, you learn something from each of them, every time they rise an issue. We customers, we do often response to everything we see not "kosher". Here, I choose not to be harsh in the criticism of things, but let me be clear. I will not rent this place in the future.

Po’ipu Getaway

The location is spectacular, with wonderful views of the ocean from the very spacious balcony that we had breakfast on every morning. The unit itself was extremely spacious. There was a nice breeze, and no air-conditioning was required on the main floor, but the kids did use the air conditioning up in the loft. Our kids referred to their loft bedroom as the “treehouse.” The kitchen was amazing and was completely stocked with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub area was amazing and for a small fee you can use the tennis courts for tennis or pickle ball.

Beautiful views

We did not realize there were 3 flights of stairs to the main floor of our unit. This was a struggle with overly heavy luggage. The digital lock is on the door itself, not the wall next to the door. The internet log on can be found on the back of the router, which was a challenge for us. After a bumpy start we had 5 wonderful days/nights. The unit is well stocked and close to the beach. The pool and jacuzzi are well maintained and very clean.

Fantastic location in Poipu

This condo is located in a great area. Our family enjoyed the proximity to the pool, beach, tennis facilities. I think with a little bit of updating, it could be the perfect stay! The condo is fully carpeted - this carpet is far past it's life (dingy and dirty) and I believe leads to a musty odour in the space. The portable AC units were much appreciated - but the main living spaces don't have AC and were very warm. The AC units were also quite noisy and although we attempted to sleep with them off (relying on the trade winds), it was unbearably hot without them on. The bathroom, while functional, is in need of updates and a deep cleaning. The host was friendly and responsive. There is lots of beach gear to utilize and found the kitchen offered the necessities for our family cooking needs. I would have appreciated an info package within the unit detailing the wifi password, property rules, garbage locations, etc. Overall, we enjoyed our stay however we likely wouldn't return unless some updates were made to the unit.

Ready to return

This was in a perfect location for everything we were trying to do during our visit. Having the pool and hot tub were great for an end of day relaxation and the balcony for morning enjoyment. The beach is walking distance with an area where turtles rest. I have no complaints about the unit, it was everything we expected it to be.

Perfect stay

My husband, myself, and our two kids ( 6 and 8 year old) stayed here in august. It was absolutely perfect. Clean, safe, and comfortable. Got hot during the day, but a quick dip in the pool made it ok. Quick walk to the beautiful Poipu beach. Loved being able to use the beach chairs and umbrella. If we are so lucky to be able to return to Kauai, we’ll book this place again.

Vacation in Paradise

The location of this place cannot be beat. Steps from a Pool and Hot Tub, a few more steps to a friendly Bar and Grill, a few steps from several tennis courts, a short walk to two great beaches, a mile from the most amazing 4 mile hike(one way). Sleep with the windows open and be awakened by the singing of birds at sunset. There is an A/C unit in the loft and it was needed one night and did the job with the aid of an oscillating fan.

Beautiful condo with splendid ocean view

Loved the place. The condo is nice and fully equipped. Location is great with easy access to the beach through the well maintained surroundings. Great ocean views from the open living space. The owner (Susan) was very responsive. When we experienced difficulties with the keypad she answered literally in seconds and found a prompt solution. We would definitely recommend this condo to our friends.

Great location in Kauai

The condo was in a great location. We walked to the beach and nearby restaurants every day. The pool and hot tub area were immaculate and the condo was definitely large enough so you didn't feel cramped. There were a couple of issues that we encountered with the upstairs A/C but the owner quickly resolved the issue. There were 11 sea turtles down at the beach on our last night along with a monk seal. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent Stay

This property was perfect for a family of four with two teen boys. We were able to walk to the beaches for boogie boarding and snorkeling, play pickle ball, walk to an awesome happy hour and hit the pool. The unit was clean, a bit dated, but very comfortable with all of the fans available. The new kitchen (with the coffee and cookies included) was a big bonus. We would definitely recommended and stay again!

About the host

Hosted by SUSAN SCOTT

Host profile image
I am a mother of three and I live in Utah. I like sharing my favorite place with other people.

Why they chose this property

View, location, and amenities. Photos don't capture how beautiful the view is from the livingroom and dining room, it just washes over you. I want to go outside and jump in the pool, or hit some tennis balls. We sit on the lanai for hours talking, listening to the birds chirp, and feeling the breeze. Its just right for 2-4 people, and feels like an almost minimalist home. The master bedroom has privacy, and the loft is a fun escape. I love to not have to drive everywhere--Breneke's Beach is a 7 minute walk, Poipu Beach is just over the grass from there, with turtles and sea lions and a beautiful sunset to watch. Restaurants almost next door, and many are a short walk away. And, for the car, there is a dedicated parking spot.

What makes this property unique

On the property, there are two community pools (with hot tub) guests can use, and this condo looks out over one of the pools. Guests can also use the private tennis and pickleball courts. There are air-conditioning units in each of the bedrooms if you need them.
