Beautiful view and location in Poipu with two on-suite bedrooms. Easy walk to beaches and restaurants.

The location was perfect for Whales and Sunsets. I enjoyed closeness to two beaches one with exceptional snorkeling, turtles and monk seal sightings. Puka Dog and Little Fish Coffee, SO YUM. Don’t forget to go to Keoki’s Paradise for live music and delicious food. When returning to the South Shores of Kauai, this is the places Ill be staying. Comfy beds, beach chairs, and fully stocked kitchen made our stay comfortable and easy.

This is a great property! Very close to Poipu and Brennecke Beach, about 10 minutes to Koloa. Maybe 40 feet from the pool. We have stayed in this complex twice now and we were happy this one has AC… the bedrooms are downstairs without much air flow and depending on the time of year can get pretty hot and stuffy. The only thing we wished it had was a bathroom upstairs but that’s absolutely not a dealbreaker for a future trip. We would stay here again!

The condo is close to the beach, the turtles & seals are just a short walk away. The condo is well equipped with beach chairs, coolers, beach towels and boogie boards. We had everything we needed for a great week on the south side.

Kauai is paradise! We island hopped and Kauai was our second island. We didn’t stay long enough. The island and property are breathtaking. The property is clean, modern, spacious, and has stunning views of the ocean and pool all while being walking distance to beaches and some restaurants. We will be back!

Great condo. Location is ideal, short walk to great bodysurfing beach, swimming and surfing spots. Condo itself has everything you could need, nice ocean view, clean, quality kitchen amenities (pots, pans, knives, etc), beach chairs and coolers. We would definitely come back.

Great spot, beautiful sunsets. Our family stayed here for the 2nd leg of our Kauai trip. We visited Waimea Canyon, Wailua River, Napali Coast, and hiked the heritage trail. Itwas a great central location for all these spots. The unit was well stocked and had everything we needed

Communication with property manager was not good. The property smelled of sewer on the lanai which was disgusting. The location and view was great. We enjoyed our stay on Kauai.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The condo was well stocked with anything we might need for a beach vacation. The condo was very clean and well appointed with spices in the kitchen, ice chests, beach chairs and beach towels. The condo was right across the street from the beach which made it very convenient for us. The management company was very pleasant and responsive with a couple of things that happened at the condo during our stay. All in all, I would definitely stay here again.

What an amazing face. It is perfectly located close to Brennecke’s beach, the amazing, see turtles that come up on the soundtrack, and Poipu Park. The views from the balcony are amazing. Great place to see the sunset. We had a few questions and a minor issue which were promptly and quickly resolved. My text messages were answered almost immediately. Would highly recommend this place.

The best thing about this property is the location. The second best thing was the space for our family of 5 (with 3 older teens). Loved having the boogie boards, chairs, and coolers available, and loved that the beach was just a few steps away! The location was also convenient for visiting Waimea Canyon, Hanapepe, Allerton Gardens, and Kekaha (for our NaPali cruise), as well as a few minutes drive to shops for groceries and shave ice. The property grounds were beautiful, and we loved sitting out on the lanai. The not so good things were: how hot the upstairs got, even with the fans and ac going; the cockroach we found in the bathroom and the little bugs that were all over the kitchen countertops; the bathroom door not locking; and just in general how tired and dated most of the condo was (it had an "old" smell to it).

This was a last minute change of plans vacation and we were not disappointed! It was our first trip to Kauai and this location could not be beat- close to sandy beaches, food, happy hours, walking paths and more. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and meticulously maintained. Our family enjoyed the beach in the morning and the pool in the afternoon. Most nights we took in the sunset from the condo deck listening to the ocean. The unit is well stocked with everything you need. We also liked the option to cool the bedrooms with a little AC before sleeping but mostly opened the patio doors and windows to simply enjoy the breeze. We can’t wait to come back again.

We enjoyed the unit - and the location. But the AC didn’t work properly. We reached out - got an answering service. Were told the next day that we weren’t using them properly- as if we’d never used ac or split units before. We also had trouble finding the unit and parking since the rental agency overlooked sending us the address that GPS could use.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. For 2 of us, the condo was huge and we enjoyed having all the space. Everything was as described - the living room lanai looks over the pool and directly onto the ocean. We had heavenly sunsets, watched dolphins play, and enjoyed listening to the rain. The host was super fast to respond with any concerns - our only was the door lock battery too low, but thankfully you have the spare key, so it wasn't an issue at all. There is a beautiful beach a few minutes past poipu beach with the best snorkeling. You can enjoy sitting on the lawn on the corner restaurant and snacks from a little stand directly behind you. I would highly recommend this condo!
