Amazing ocean vista, cozy accomodations.

Had three excellent nights at this unit. We generally don't spend much time at the rental while on vacation, but we loved the lanai and the pool deck to the point it made it hard to leave everyday. The interior was cozy and felt like home immediately. Great sunset views a short walk down the hill, generally stayed cool when the ceiling fans were on, lots of nearby shopping and eating. The sound of the ocean crashing into the rocks below every night might be the thing I miss most. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!!!!

Paradise

Ocean views were amazing. Great to see turtles swimming right from our lanai. Being 1 step up from pool level gave us a much better view of ocean. Communication with property management was easy when a lightbulb needed replacement. They even sent us a notification when a highway accident occurred to allow for extra travel time to get to our destination for the morning. Greatly appreciated. Hope to be back.

Great Location for a Relaxing Getaway

We had a really good time in our rental (Poipu Palms 204). The experience overall was great. The view right off the ocean was a million dollar view. The rental was small, but neat and not cluttered. We knew going in there would be no AC, but the fans and crosswinds made it work. The rooms are very small. Much smaller than we had planned for. We were 3 adults and 1 toddler. The master was not big enough for us to have the toddler bed in, so we had to use the living room. It's not a knock on the space. More something to be aware of if you are in a similar situation to ours. The one annoying thing was that the bathroom fans were not connected due to noise. It made for a bit of a humid environment after showers. But, for a place to chill and soak in the sun and relax, this was perfect. Staff was friendly and easy to work with. Communicated and checked in more than once during our 6 day stay. Would definitely recommend!

Loved our time here...

The condo was great spot to stay and use as a base to explore the whole island over our stay. We stayed at the end of March 2025. Walking distance to several beaches and an easy drive to many more. Easy access to the whole island and our daily adventures! The view was impeccable and it was fantastic watching whales swim by and turtles bobbing around in the surf below the deck. The condo was a vacation inside of our vacation. People mentioned the lack of AC as negative? We found the climate to be perfect and did not need AC in the condo. We live in Wyoming, so maybe if you live in AC most of the year, than you need it to feel comfortable? With the doors and windows open it, we were always comfortable, enjoying exactly what we came for, Warm weather! It is not the Four Seasons, so if you need that level of finish and amenities, I would look elsewhere. If you are down to earth and practical, looking for a clean place that is ocean side to bask in while you are on Kauai, than this condo is a great choice! We will be Back! Thank you
