Nice welcome package with some basic supplies and goodies. Condo was spotless. Space was as described. Pluses and minuses overall, but no surprises.

The place was easy to locate, appreciate the side note of not to park under the trees as the car will get covered in bird poo, the place was as the photos appear and is listed. We loved our view the best. My only suggestion would be since this stay does not have air conditioning that it has better working ceiling fans and a better working standing fan to help the air flow. Other than that our stay was amazing. Thank you

The condo was clean and nicely furnished - loved being right next to the ocean - nice view and was nice to hear the waves.

This unit was amazing with amazing views of the ocean! It was nice having a full dining area, living room, and kitchen separate from the bedroom. I will note there was not AC in the unit, and there was only one additional fan. If you are more sensitive to heat it could be hard as it stays pretty warm in September.

Beautiful place in a beautiful location. Pretty much every beach was within a 5 mins drive. Our only complaint was no AC, which we knew when we were booking, we just thought it would be a little more manageable.. If you do okay in a humid climate, you'll be okay, but it was kind of rough for us.

Very relaxing, easy walk to Beach House to enjoy the sunset ritual. Lovely view from the balcony, ocean waves lull you to sheep!

Absolutely in love! Exactly as pictured, gorgeous views, even saw some whales from our lanai! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Kauai!

The view is awesome. Condo is convenient to beach and snorkeling and walking distance to shopping. However, this unit is VERY close to the road and therefore, lots of road noise. The condo needs updating ir aor at least a fresh coat of

First, and most importantly, DO NOT EVER RENT FROM VACASA. We rented this property through VRBO believing it was a property managed locally and advertised on VRBO. It was, instead, a VACASA managed property listed on VRBO. This resulted in 600-plus junk fees: 200in fees for VRBO, a 200-plus VACASA booking, a required 79 bond, a 67 fee that VACASA charges the guest to pay for the VRBO Listing and so on. It’s a complete rip off.You see the listing and taxes as affordable, but later, when you look at the total price, it doubles the cost from the extra and nonsensical fees. Second, while the views to the right (yes, those water scenes) are lovely, the view to the left is a busy road. This unit sits as close to the road as is possible without actually being in the road. We heard traffic night and day. This is extremely dishonest photography and marketing. Note that the listing describes it as “peaceful.” I guess if traffic noise is your sense of peaceful…Third, the unit does not have AC and is stifling without being able to allow breezes in, which of course means allowing in the traffic noise, so it’s a matter of picking your poison.We asked VACASA to move us, and they refused. VACASA is dishonest and a terrible company (read the 1000s of 1-star reviews because they don’t lie). I’m sorry for this owner because the property has some nice features, but I cannot recommend this at all given its location, the lack of AC, and the truly unscrupulous management company the owners

First of all, for the strengths, the place was clean and the wifi worked well. There were also welcome snacks/gifts on the dining table, which was a nice touch. It was a cozy and good-enough apartment. We stayed here for 3 nights, and it was much more expensive than another rental that was superior on many levels, but it seems that the pattern is that rentals in this southern area of Kauai are just more expensive. Just be aware that this is an old apartment (the kitchen knives, scissors, etc. are getting old) in an old building. The apartment is overall dark despite turning on all the lights. A parasol and bodyboards would be appreciated additions (especially given the price of this rental), and I let Vacasa/the owner know.

Great unit with an awesome view to wake up to. We had an issue with the lock on arrival but the management company was extremely responsive in sorting it out. My only complaint is that the BBQ’s are way over by the garbage bins which doesn’t necessarily make you want to Grimm. Otherwise great property and would recommend.

We loved our stay at Kuhio Shores! It is really beautiful location, the amenities were perfect. Thank you for local goodies. The views of the ocean were great. Our apartment was the first towards the road side area, so at times late night you can hear some commotion. But nothing that bad. The space was clean. Location could not be better. We would return to this place again in future.

Beautiful condo, well appointed, great oceanfront location. Very clean and seems recently upgraded. Everything worked well. Ample parking. Close to the road but everything quiets down after 10 pm anyway. Not an issue. Hope to re-book next time! Thanks!

Just across the parking lot from the best sunset location in the island on the lawn of The Beach House. Lovely little beach there as well and a snack shack across the way. Laundry access was perfect, and it was so quiet most of the time, except for some traffic noise which was disruptive in the night and very early morning.

I was very happy with the condition and supplies provided with the unit. The kitchen was fully stocked, there were beach chairs available to take with me to beaches, and they even left a welcome basket with some snacks and coffee for that next morning (life saver!) Sunsets are beautiful and easily accessible at the other end of the small property near The Beach House restaurant next door - which was always busy and smelled delicious. The property management team was responsive the only time I had a request. As listed, there is no AC. I knew this going in but was too warm at night since there are minimal fans and poor air flow throughout the unit. My only true complaint has no reflection on the owners or property management team, and that is the obnoxious traffic sounds at night. The loud cars/trucks and their often blaring music were impossible to sleep thru waking me up at least a few times every single night during my week's stay. Because of the no AC and poor airflow, closing the bedroom window to limit traffic noise was not an option. Lucky for me, beach naps are one of my super powers. :)
