ALOHA!

Enjoy the best of Kauai. This fully equipped ocean-view studio condo at Poipu Beach has stunning vistas of the bay, peaceful Prince Kuhio Park, and distant mountains framed by rainbows and swaying palms.

Only steps to the beach

Prince Kuhio Resort, awarded a prestigious certificate of excellence for its outstanding qualities, is a small and quaint resort about 20 yards from the beach. Some of the best swimming, snorkeling, and surfing on Kauai are right out in front at Prince Kuhio Beach and Lawai Beach. Hawaiian sea turtles and tropical fish swim close to shore in a protected cove.

The sound of the ocean

You will enjoy the sound of the ocean, the birds singing, the tropical breeze, and the amazing sunrise every day from your lanai, which has a bar-height table and chairs so that you can fully enjoy this extraordinary setting. On the other side of the resort there is a koi pond, waterfalls, and a large swimming pool surrounded by a lush, exotic garden with a picnic and barbecue area.

Located on the second floor, the 400 sf studio (including covered lanai) is tastefully decorated with island-style furnishings and a comfortable king bed. A split-system air conditioner was recently installed for your comfort. Even without a/c, many guests appreciate the cooling tradewinds that often blow through the windows and it is very comfortable for most of the year. The compact but well-equipped full kitchen has lots of extras. Beach towels and beach chairs are provided. All you will need are your swimsuit and flip flops!

A laundry facility is available in Prince Kuhio complex, located next to the facilities manager’s office on the first floor near the front parking lot. The facilities manager is not an individual unit's property manager, however, he can be very helpful in a pinch during the eight-hour day when he is on site.

Ample parking is usually available at the resort. There’s parking in the complex’s front parking lot, on the first floor of the adjacent parking garage, and along the roadside. If parking in the garage, please obtain a card from the site managers’s office and sign up even after hours when the office is often unlocked. If locked, sign up in the morning.

The owner of this unit lives on-island about an hour away so assistance is always readily available.

The landscaping. I was going to go to the gardens but decided I couldn’t beat what I had. The studio was so clean and comfortable. Convenient for travel. Jane was a friendly, responsible host. The roosters were so fun. The other guests were friendly and helpful. The view from the deck and the area was beautiful. Thank you.

We found the condo to have everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable which is a definite plus for me. We enjoyed the chickens, all the beautiful birds, and the ocean breezes from our deck as we woke up each morning. Thank you!

Quiet location, view of the ocean from the lanai, comfy bed, and well stocked kitchen. Perfect for our needs for the week. Pool was a nice temp and the surrounding gardens are nice. Snorkeling at the beach just to the right of Beach House restaurant across the street was good. Parking was close and easy.

The studio was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy the island. The location is perfect with snorkeling right across the street and the best breakfast food truck in the parking lot next door - aunty Chela’s pies. The property is lovely and has laundry on-site. The pool was the perfect spot to end the day. Perfect sunset spot and great hosts.

Everything about this place and the island of Kaua’i was an amazing experience. Jane communicated with us so well and in a timely manner. The studio had everything we possibly could need for our one week stay! We hope to be back soon! 10/10!

We really enjoyed the location of the condo. Jane is a great communicator! I wish there had been mention of the roosters in the empty lot outside our unit. They started crowing around 3:00 a.m each day. They got progressively louder after that. By 6:00 it was impossible to sleep. That was really frustrating. Part of the window didn’t have a curtain so the morning sun really shines on you. The bed and pillows were very uncomfortable. It was like sleeping on cardboard and the pillows were completely flat. Decor, lighting and paint really needs to be updated throughout the entire unit. We appreciated the beach chairs, towels and umbrella.

My husband and i stayed for 10 days. It was a clean place with just enough room for the two of us. Walking distance to a little beach and some shopping. The only thing my husband had trouble with was the shower haha! He is 6 foot 2 and he had to bend down to be able to use it. It was not a big deal and for someone my height, 5 foot 2 it was perfect :). Thank you Jane for the stay!

Comfortable, quiet studio with a pleasant view, lovely grounds and pool, well equipped, including the kitchen and beach essentials. We really appreciated the small cooler to take with us on the days we explored the island. Loved being able to walk to Spouting horn each morning, and walking across the street for sunset views. Would stay here again!

We appreciated the quiet side of Kauai with nice weather. The condo location gave us the ability to travel most of the island roads......the condo was well-equipped, close to the beach. We did some snorkeling, but the waves were bigger than we expected. Dinner at the Beach House was perfect our last night. Parking in the garage worked out very well. The owner was easy to work with and shared all needed information in a timely manner with us.

Great place for two people. Small but quaint. Furniture could use updating, and be careful with the shower the water gets scalding hot quickly. Great view and close to everything.

We had a wonderful time staying in Jane's condo. The courtyard was so beautiful with trees, flowers, paths, water features along with the pool and outdoor kitchen. The condo deck overlooked Prince Kuhio Park so was always quiet and peaceful. The condo was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed - we did some cooking and ate out. We appreciated the beach chairs and cooler. We had a car rental so were able to tour the entire island. We couldn't have stayed in a more perfect place.

Really enjoyed staying in the studio unit. Tons of storage & place had condiments & spices. The unit is we equipped with a nice ocean view with privacy across the way. Nice beach to watch the sunset across the street & ate at the Beach House Restaurant for dinner our last night here. Very relaxing & enjoyable.

This studio suite was perfect for the two of us. A beautiful ocean view from the lanai and early morning sunrises from bed! The kitchen was small but well equipped with everything we needed. We appreciated the condiments in the fridge and the reusable containers in the cupboard for storing leftovers. The landscaping and pool were outstanding. This location was very quiet and the parking was easy and close to the unit. A great home base for a week exploring the gorgeous island of Kaua’i. I would recommend this location to friends.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely place… it was kind of a step back in time coming from the 5 star resort on the north side of the island. However, once we settled in it was very refreshing to experience Hawaii in a way we hadn’t experienced before. The place had everything you needed to relax after a day out sight seeing. Restaurants and shopping were right down the road and the beautiful ocean view was so nice from our lanai. Jane, the owner was very friendly and helpful when we needed to ask her something… she always responded accordingly. Not sure we’ll ever get back to this island but it was awesome to have came once!

Jane’s place is amazing. So many touches that were highly appreciated (e.g. condiments in fridge, sunscreen & bug spray, beach towels, chairs, cooler, snorkel masks, etc. View from lanai was good - you can see and hear the ocean that is across the street. Definitely would stay here again if we come back for another visit!

This property was cozy, but well furnished with everything we needed. The view from the balcony was awesome. The covered parking was a great bonus as it kept the car cool and free from parrot poo. We were extending a stay that started at the Westin and we found this location to be far better than the Westin. And the room was so bright and cheery, you really felt the beach vibe.

We loved staying here. If you enjoy snorkeling and sea turtles, you are a short walking distance away from an amazing snorkeling area! At night, parakeets swarmed the trees and it was beautiful. Communication with the host was great, and the stay was even better :)

Great cozy studio with wonderful host, Jane. She has everything you could want. The bed was very comfortable, linens great, abundance of pots, pans etc. The only thing that was challenging was the parking. Street parking was tough if you couldn’t get in the 1st floor of the garage. We had a full size truck so harder to get in if all larger spaces taken. The gardens there are the absolute best sooo many beautiful or kids on every tree. Wonderful bbq facilities & pool area. Jane is the best.
