Rental Details
Property Overview
Watch frolicking sea turtles, marvel at spectacular sunrises, enjoy whale watching (in season), and relax under starry night skies from the shaded, breezy comfort of the lanai at this charming, third-floor, oceanfront Kuhio Shores condo.
***** We invite you to enjoy our 5-Star condo*****. We have dozens of 5-Star reviews with our former vrbo listing but when we changed to a new premier host property manager and vrbo listing, our 5-Star reviews did not transfer.
The condo features an airy open floor plan with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that afford you both ocean and mountain views. Open the lanai doors to allow the comfortable Hawaiian trade winds and the sounds of gently breaking waves to float through the condo or close the lanai doors and enjoy the comfort of AC provided by two mini-split AC units, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The living room features a 50” Samsung flatscreen smart TV with cable and Amazon 4K Fire TV stick, a glider swivel rocker, and a bluetooth stereo bar. The condo has high speed wi-fi and an electronic charging station for laptops and cell phones.
Kitchen: The fully stocked and equipped kitchen provides a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, a wonderful cooking area, should you decide to dine in. The dining table for four is situated so that you get marvelous views of the ocean and Hoai Bay. As an alternative you can enjoy a cozy dinner for two on the wicker table on the lanai.
Sleeping Areas: The condo provides sleeping arrangements for either a couple or a small family. The bedroom has a Cal King Tempur-Pedic mattress, and the living room has a comfortable queen-size memory foam sleeper.
Bathroom: The fully remodeled bathroom is bigger than most bathrooms and provides a walk in shower and plenty of places to hang and store your gear.
Flooring: The flooring is completely tile so you don’t have to worry if you spill something and it is easy to manage should you track in sand or water, a common occurrence in Hawaii!
Kuhio Shores Amenities: The condo building has two elevators and carts for getting your baggage to your room, washer/dryer units on each floor with coin changing machine, and a barbecue area should you decide you wish to grill. You can enjoy amazing sunsets from the lawn immediately in front of the condo building. A parking pass in the condo at the time of check-in will provide you parking for one car in the condo’s parking lot.
Activities: Some of the best snorkeling on the island can be found just steps from the condo at Lawai Beach, which also provides a small beach that is perfect for youngsters. Across the street you can enjoy Prince Kuhio Park and a 10 minute walk brings you to the Kukui’ula Shopping Center where you can wander among its many restaurants, shops, galleries, and weekly Wednesday farmers market. Short drives of less than 5 minutes will bring you to lush native plants and a charming waterfall at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, a stunning waterspout at the Spouting Horn and a calm, protected beach at Kukui‘ula Harbor. Kukui‘ula Harbor is also a common starting point for commercial tours featuring whale-watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, and other ocean-based activities. Since many of these tours start early in the morning, it is nice to have a short drive with easy parking to start your day.
Dining: You are only steps away from the romantic, award-winning Beach House Restaurant where you can either eat or kick back and relax with a Mai Tai while watching surfers catch their last rides of the day in front of a gorgeous sunset. Alternatively, a short 5-10 minute drive brings you to the many restaurants and bars in Poipu, charming old-town Koloa, or Kukui’ulu Shopping Center.
Location: The condo is a 30 minute drive from the airport and a 10 minute drive from the main loop road on the island. Immediately after you turn off the main loop road and head to the condo you will pass through a magical half-mile long tunnel of trees. The condo is roughly a 30 minute drive from south-side and east-side attractions and a 60-75 minute drive from north-side attractions. The condo is east-facing which means that you will enjoy spectacular sunrises and afternoon/evening shade on the lanai. The condo fronts the protected waters of Hoai Bay which allows you to view sea turtles while still affording you direct oceanfront and mountain views. We have seen both whales and dolphins from our lanai.

Guest Reviews
Reviews
There was a beautiful view from the balcony. Furniture was comfortable and kitchen stocked sufficiently. The bed was very comfortable as were the linens. This is a lovely condo with all of the beach accessories needed, chairs, towels, noodles and sand toys.
Great time
I agree with almost all of the previous comments, good and not-so-good, about the property, but am rounding up my 4.5 review to a 5. A few ways the experience could be improved, in my opinion: Host should (1) pay a little more attention to her bookings to minimize confusion re: conflicting inspection appointments and the like, (2) install a lock inside the unit (that cannot be opened with a combination from the outside) so occupants feel more secure, (3) update the photo of the lanai to show ALL 8 pieces of furniture on it, (4) indicate in the listing that washer/dryer are communal and coin operated, and (5) have more info in guest notebook about the complex and area.
We had a wonderful 11 day stay! The condo was spotless when we arrived. Well maintained, with gorgeous furnishings and art. Photos are accurate. Turtles come and hang out in the water only a few yards away from the condo. We could watch them from our lanai almost every day! When the full moon came out, it was spectacular shining on the water. The bed is one of the most comfortable we've ever had at a vacation rental. Even the pillows were perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to do "at-home" meals and cocktails. This is a smaller condo complex, which we liked a lot (not a mega-resort with a zillion amenities we'd never have used anyway). Wi-Fi was strong and the TV had all of our streaming services available. The location is great, with the upscale Beach House restaurant next door and Koloa and Poipu a 5-minute drive away. Highly recommend!
Great location. Stocked kitchen. Nice view and close to restaurants and beaches.
We had an incredible 5-night stay in Kōloa! The views were absolutely epic, and the home was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed—beach chairs, towels, and more. We loved having lunch while watching sea turtles right from the property, and the community was so welcoming and kind.The memory foam bed deserves a special mention—it was hands down the best sleep I’ve ever had on vacation. That alone made it feel like a true retreat!The location couldn’t be better: great local surf, and just about a mile away in Poipu we ended our days with breathtaking sunsets and sea turtles resting on the beach. Truly unforgettable.Jane was an amazing host—so well-prepared that we didn’t need a thing during our stay. She made it easy to simply relax and enjoy a well-deserved vacation. This place won’t disappoint—highly recommend!
Great location and one of the truly oceanfront condo complexes on the South shore! Awesome sunrise and sunset views!! We will be back! Thank you for allowing my family to stay in your beautiful home.
This is a wonderful apartment that I hope to return to visit. Communication with the owner was great as well as location and local dining options. So much convenience for a very fair price.
Location is perfect for snorkeling, swimming, surfing all within 5-10 minutes. We also explored other areas of the island and really enjoyed the diversity of the landscape.
Perfect condo in Poipu/Koloa with a view! Faces east for incredible sunrises, and if you’re on mainland time, you will be up for them!!! We could see turtles and whales right from the lanai as advertised and just a short walk to Baby Beach, which was awesome!
This condo was the most well stocked that I have been in! Everything you need for a great trip away! Thank you for your hospitality!
This place is beautiful. The condo shows pride of ownership and is very clean. Beautiful views from the balcony and we could watch whales in the morning as we enjoyed our coffee.
We really enjoyed this condo for our trip to Kaua'i. Greeted by the sun each morning, and a nice shady spot on the balcony to enjoy the ocean in the afternoon. Will look to booking here again on another visit.
We had a very nice stay at the condo . Beautiful ocean view for sunrise and sunset . Great location! Walking distance to great restaurants and shopping.
The condo was clean and had an amazing view of the ocean. You could hear the waves crashing against the rocks and watch the sea turtles! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. The host was very responsive even prior to us getting there. We would definitely stay there again! What a wonderful and relaxing trip!
Condo was great. Beautiful view. Rainbows and turtles to see from lanai (balcony). The unit had everything we needed, including beach chairs. Well stocked kitchen and bath. Comfortable bed. We only used the AC one afternoon when we came back to nap. Otherwise, the breezes through the unit made it quite comfortable and you can hear the ocean waves better that way!
I’ll cover the good first. The view was great; the balcony overlooked a very small bay as pictured. Sunrises were beautiful! The condo was adequate; the bed and sofa were comfortable, the bathroom and shower were clean, and the kitchen was nicely equipped. The neighborhood is convenient to restaurants and markets. However, the complex is very old and tired. The BBQ is in the parking lot next to the garbage. The washer/dryer is not in the condo, but is communal downstairs, and is expensive and there is no change machine.
Perfect location to explore the island. View was great - we enjoyed relaxing on the balcony and hearing the sound of the waves. Would stay here again if we come back.
I was very pleased with location of condo, perfect viewing for ocean life, clean and comfy beds, my only complaint was the noise at night from the live music from restaurant when trying to sleep. Couldn't sleep with windows open so thank goodness for the AC units.
Dated fit our needs would do again
We enjoyed our stay but appartement was far not as good as 2 first ones we stayed in during our trip to Kauai and the most expensive one. Interior would need to be refreshed.
This is a lovely condo that is well furnished. The location is wonderful. We spent many hours sitting on the lanai watching the sea turtles. It was a very quiet complex also.
Wow, incredible view, magical location, so comfortable, and a super responsive host. Could not ask for more!!!
Very nice appartment, great location, everything you may need during the stay you can find there.
Loved this unit - great size and location. Really enjoyed the flock of parakeets in the trees just outside.
The condo had a spectacular view, was fortunate enough to watch sea turtles feed off the rocks below. It was very clean and comfortable bed and furnishings. We were next to a nice restaurant and Lawai beach which was great for snorkeling. Would stay there again !
The condo is beautiful. The views are incredible. We watched the turtles feom a balcony. The sound of the surf was a great way to wind down after a day full of excursions. It's 30 minutes from pretty much every where you want to go on the island. We would stay here again!
We loved everything about your condo. The views were stunning, the location was perfect, and the condo was very comfortable. We watched sea turtles from the balcony every night. I recommend this place to everyone, and hope to have the honor of staying here again.
This is a comfortable, clean, well stocked condo in a great location, with a responsive and helpful host. We loved the sound of the waves, and sitting on the balcony watching the tide.
The view from this ocean side condo was breathtaking and my daughter and I enjoyed our five-day stay. It was well equipped and we enjoyed our morning breakfasts on the lanai overlooking the ocean where we spotted a couple of whales too. Highly recommend staying here.
This is a very nice unit in a very nice building The building is older but well maintained and in a very convenient location on the water and convenient to the entire south side. We have stayed in many units in the building and this is one of the nicest, Clean, comfortable and the owner has been very thoughtful in furnishing and outfitting the unit. We stayed a month and will likely return,
