Luxurious Location at Economy Price - Dazzling Oceanfront in Poipu
ALOHA, GUEST! Welcome home! Enjoy the surf song and expansive ocean views from every room, lie in bed and watch whales spout in season, dolphins frolic and rainbows touching the sea, whitewater on the rocks and spectacular sunsets from your lanai, lush greenery and distinctive Hawaiian mountain peaks from your kitchen window and front door… Mele Moana (Song of the Sea) is a lovingly kept, ample, beachy, retro-Hawaii-style (as accurately depicted in photos) one-bedroom unit. Sunset Kahili #406 offers all the amenities of a clean and comfortable home, fully equipped, including: a full-service kitchen; dishwasher, washer/dryer inside; basic toiletries, unlimited free Wi-Fi in unit; HDTV, DVD, CD and cassette players; music, movies, books, games and puzzles; coolers, beach towels, umbrellas, chairs and mats. Sleeping 4 is easy with a very comfortable king-bed and living room sofa that folds out to a genuinely comfy queen. Yours is on the fourth floor of a five-story building with an elevator and free dedicated onsite parking space, one of only 35 units that share a sparkling pool, lounge area, BBQ with picnic bench, and recreation room with library of books and puzzles. Take a short stroll to world-famous Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach Park and family-suitable sheltered inlet for wading and snorkeling, or to hiking trails, Grand Hyatt, Shipwreck Beach and beyond. Kukui'ula Village, right in Poipu, offers the most exciting shopping and dining on the island. You will find the central location ideal for trips up the west coast to Koke'e, Polihale and Waimea State Parks or Barking Sands Beach, or around the island to the Wailua River, North Shore, Princeville, and the spectacular Na Pali Coast--and all the beauty and fun in between! You won’t find an oceanfront perch like Sunset Kahili at this price anywhere else on the island, and once you’ve stayed, the sea’s allure will bid you return as often as you are able to Mele Moana (Song of the Sea), your home away from home in Kauaian paradise!

This condo had the perfect Lanai for enjoying coffee in the morning or our wine at night and watching the whales. It’s so close to coffee shops, restaurants and most importantly beaches. The property itself had everything we needed and more. The owner was so gracious and helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again for our next Kauai holiday.
The condo was in a great location, was very clean, beautiful views, firm mattress, and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed having our coffee on the lanai every morning. A great find!
Great location near POIPU beach and excellent view from unit! Really comfortable even without ac and not necessary to have since there is a cross breeze in unit. Ellen is very quick with communication to answer any questions you may have. Really cool nostalgic feel.
Beautiful view from the balcony and living room. Easy walk to beautiful beaches. Near good dining. Near good shopping. Condo dated, but great option for cost.
We are very familiar with the Sunset Kahili and love this property. This unit did not disappoint. Can’t beat the view and space was comfy and clean. Thanks for everything! This will continue to be on our list of places to return in the future!
We were very pleased with our stay at the lovely and peaceful Mele Moana. The kitchen had everything you could want to prepare meals and we especially appreciated the availability of beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. The location is within walking distance of the beautiful Poipu Beach where we saw sea turtles and seals. We would defiantly stay there again.
We had a delightful stay at Mele Moana. The condo is comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. It is in a great location, close to beaches, trails, and restaurants. We enjoyed the fabulous views from our lanai of the daily visits by the whales and the stunning sunsets. Ellen is a wonderful host. Highly recommended - 5 stars!
Well located, easy access, on-site parking (but very narrow parking spaces, best for smaller cars). Nicely decorated, very clean. Many beach accessories available in condo - nice not to have to buy for temporary use.
As advertised: gorgeous views, quiet complex, great pool, and quaint condo. I agree with a previous renter that some basic maintenance is in order. And I would also suggest more linens, both kitchen and bathroom: not enough there if a week or more stay. The price is hard to beat and we had a fabulous time. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Ellen.
We enjoyed our stay! This rental has a great ocean view and is conveniently within walking distance to both Poipu and Brennecke Beach. We saw turtles, monk seals, and fish at Poipu, which is a very calm beach and great for snorkeling (note that the ocean floor is very rocky here). Brennecke is a sand bottom beach with high surf and was great for body-boarding.
The only negative (which we were warned about by the host) was that we had trouble getting into the driveway without scraping the underside of our rental car. Even so, the scrapping was pretty negligible and went unnoticed when we returned the rental car, but just something to note.
Great location! Can’t beat the view from lanai! Unit is comfortable, but unfortunately overdue for an upgrade. Popcorn ceiling texture is peeling - hope it’s not asbestos. Kitchen spoons, forks, etc are like tin. Corkscrew doesn’t work. Someone’s bathing suit was left hanging on bathroom door. Shower control needs work. A suitcase rack would be handy.
Hi, Ellen.
Thank you very much for the stay.
Incredible views! It was spectacular to be at your place during the last blue moon. Would on have to turn my head to watch the moon set on the ocean while laying on the bed.
If I were to suggest something, I would say:
1. Your place is so spectacular that I would suggest a light remodeling if you can.
2. I would not keep old food in the fridge from previous gets. Some dry spices at the cabinetry only.
3. Did miss that welcome coffee and a small bottle of water that most VRBO places have.
Just my candid suggestions.
Thank you very much.
Aloha
First the positive, the view and the lanai are awesome, we spotted whales and turtles while sitting out there. As for the interior, better bring your tool belt and prepare to fix some things because Ellen refuses to do so. The place is in bad need of an update, it would appear nothing has been done since it was built in the 60’s. Two chairs on the lanai were damaged, I sat on one and thought it was going to collapse because a bolt had rusted out. I weigh 215 pounds so this should not have been an issue. Screens in kitchen and bedroom kept falling out. It fell one night and I could see the bracket was broken, I alerted Ellen and she said she doesn’t have the money to fix it. Two nights later the screen fell on my wife in bed while she was sleeping. Building management told me the kitchen screen had fallen out many times previously. In the fridge one of the bolts holding up a shelf had rusted out and the entire bracket was being held by one bolt and looked as if it would collapse any minute. Ellen refused to do anything about that. The beach chairs were in bad shape and Ellen committed to reimbursing me, when I bought one she ghosted me after I sent the receipt from Costco and she continues to do so. My wife bought cleaner because the cabinets had grimy filth that was disgusting. The furniture appears to have been purchased at a garage sale or thrift store.

The host was wonderful. The ocean view was beautiful-amazing.
What an awesome place and the stay was perfect! Incredible location! What i loved most about this was the ability to head to the beach in a couple minutes, in either direction, and if you're a trail runner or just like to hike you are in a perfect spot. When we first arrived i was worried it was going to be to hot as there's no AC, but at night the breeze left it very nice and listening to the ocean with that breeze, babies don't sleep that good!
We had a beautiful stay. Ellen is a wonderful hostess-so kind and responsive. Location is fantastic! Sunsets at the end of each day were a special treat. Unit is a little dated, which is why I would give this property a 4/5 stars. However, all other aspects of our experience were first rate! Fantastic experience.
We enjoyed everything about our trip to Kauai!!! The condo location is absolutely perfect, the view is amazing,, and the pool is refreshing. The owner was helpful and efficient with all information. We highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again!
The VRBO description of this property is good. The owner has intentionally not updated the place to the 2000's - It looks similar to how it probably looked when this vintage condo was built. If you want modern, be prepared to pay considerably more somewhere else. If you want wonderful ocean views, sleeping to the sound of waves at night instead of a droning air conditioner, and a perfect location for your Kauai holiday - this is it! The owner is very responsive should there be any problems. She has provided beach chairs, towels, ice chest, pool noodles, etc. - everything you could possibly need. And if you do any cooking or bring home leftovers, there are plenty of utensils and storage containers too.
If you want to wake up for an amazing ocean view every morning, rent this property! It is clean, comfortable, has all the necessities, the location cannot be beat. The owner is quick tk respond. We spent lovely few days there and would like to go back again next year.
