Rental Details

Property Overview

An ideal location in sunny Poipu Beach Kauai, Nihi Kai Villas Resort is just steps away from the Poipu shoreline and a little over five minute walk to world-famous body surfing Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach Park. Unit 403 is just over 300 feet from the shore with a gorgeous view of the Pacific from the private lanai. The two bedroom, two bath condo can accommodate up to 4 people.

From 2020 onward, the condo features full house air conditioning for your comfort. From January 2023 onwards the condo has a completely brand new kitchen and living room upstairs.

The condo is fully ready for use with towels, bedding, kitchen supplies (no food of course) and a full kitchen (stove, oven, sink, fridge etc and everything you need to prepare and eat food), beach towels/chairs/toys etc. The condo has a king bed (bedroom one), two twins (bedroom two). There are two full bathrooms connected one to each bedroom. The deck/patio has a view of the palm trees and the grounds of the condo site but more importantly, the ocean! Table and chairs to sit on the deck and enjoy the breeze or dinner and the sunset. The patio table upfront can accommodate four adults for dinner.

There is a full-size washer and dryer in the unit (hallway closet off master bedroom) to freshen up your clothes or towels of the unit throughout the week. There is no daily maid service but for stays in excess of three weeks a freshen up clean will be provided mid stay, complementary. You may purchase this same service (single mid stay cleaning) for $200 on shorter stay if you wish.

The BBQ is just about 50 steps from the unit and covered so it's convenient even if it's raining a little. The BBQ is gas so you just turn a knob and soon it's hot! Most people make a trip early in the vacation to Costco or the grocery store and buy enough food for their time at the condo.

Nihi Kai, the property the condo is located on, has a gorgeous pool within steps of the ocean and tennis courts for all to use. Nihi Kai boasts a well manicured property maintained by a full time staff. We love the site because my family goes on walks together several times a day in Poipu and our condo is just steps from a number of good "starting points" for a walk.

- Full kitchen
- Washer/Dryer

This property is within Kauai’s VDA (Visitor Destination Area). This means you can rest assured knowing you are staying at a property complying with all local laws and regulations.

This is a two bedroom, two bathroom condo. There are four separate lanais (patios) for your private use. The square footage includes lanai outdoor living space as listed. There are two sets of stairs, one to enter the unit and one inside from upstairs to downstairs.

Septic smells from parking lot filled the condo. Had to keep sliding doors shut. Everyday. This was awful. The Air Conditioner did not keep the lower bedrooms cool. The screens on the sliding doors where off trackThe sliders had curtains that did not provide privacy and were dirty and torn. Washer had mold Dryer door would not shut and had to be taped to closeCoffee grinder did not workNot enough paper towelsPillows had no support

Stephen is a gracious, well organized, responsive & helpful host. So, as one would expect, his place was perfect in every way.It's an ideal location, yards from the Ocean, a block from the beach, with a sunset view & adjacent to two nice tennis courts.The condo itself is as advertised. Newly remodeled, amazing & fully stocked kitchen. Ideal for cooking & entertaining.This 2 BR condo actually has 4 lanais, two upstairs & two downstairs, so if ya need a little a separation from whomever you are traveling with, you've got it.We only have one regret and that is that out a nearly 2 week trip, we didn't allocate more nights to staying at Stephen's condo. Now we know!

Excellent place, fully stocked, well thought out, washer and dryer a must while traveling with kids, cold A/C, loved the seperation of space with two stories, great view of the ocean, saw spouting whales, only steps away from the sea turtles, and we used the heated pool every day... Would definitely stay here again!

This was a very comfortable and lovely place to stay! The host was extremely responsive. The location is wonderful, and we walked to the beach and nearby restaurants. The three of us felt very comfortable in all the shared spaces and thoroughly enjoyed spending time together. We couldn't quite figure out the television, but that was okay. We used the pool as well, and the unit is so close to the pool, and the parking was extremely easy! We appreciated the beach towels and laundry as well. You will be so happy you stayed here!! .

Villa is very nice and well equipped. Beautiful views/sunsets! Only issues were the latch on the dryer was missing (had to tape it shut-tape was provided), bldg. was not marked with a number so that it was visible from the street (had trouble locating the bldg.). Host was great and very responsive. We would recommend this villa/host!!

We had an absolutely wonderful week! It was the perfect place for us to stay with our two 20-something year old sons. The condo was beautiful and fully stocked with everything that you will need for fun beach trips (two beaches within walking distance) and exploring the island. We were also impressed with the abundance of dishes, pots/pans, glassware and kitchen gadgets, coolers, beach chairs, beach towels, etc. that were available for our use. The condo manager, Stephen was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any of our questions/needs. We loved having our coffee and breakfast out on the back deck every morning, with the ocean, flora and fauna in the background. Our week in Kauai at this Nihi Kai condo was one of our favorite vacations yet! We look forward to returning some day!

Stephen’s condo was wonderful! Great location and so well stocked! Communication was absolutely fabulous all the way through. He went out of his way to be accommodating and was incredibly responsive. The views from the upstairs balcony spectacular and trade winds blowing through

Loved the view from the balcony of the ocean. Great location, quiet, everything that was needed was in the condo. Kitchen stuff, beach stuff and comfortable beds. Good to have a washer and dryer. Enjoyed seeing turtles on the beach. Would definitely book this condo again.

The location of this rental was great. Walking distance to the beach and nice views of the ocean, with breathtaking sunsets. We weren't big fans of the bedroom/bathrooms being downstairs, lots of trips. The drapes in the bedrooms are thin leading to uncomfortable privacy and early mornings due to the room being lit up. When we checked in, it was not clear the key lock box was located under the railing, which is behind you when facing the door. We could not get the tv to work and had to improvise using our own means. We did enjoy our stay. The location is ideal if you want to see the ocean, sit on the beach and especially if you want to boogie-board. Great Waves!

It was a great stay. Love the layout and the ocean view and the short walk to the beach and medium walk to coffee. Also really appreciated the beach chairs and beach towels and coffee grinder. The development is a little older. While it has been remodeled there are still signs of it being an older property like the downstairs doors (bedrooms, closets, bath) and doors to balcony. Still it was decorated so pretty and plenty of space.

This condo had everything we needed for our stay in Poipu! It’s spacious with all the amenities you need including beach gear. The walk to Brennecke’s beach and Poipu beach was super quick and easy even with all our gear. Location is perfect. The host was super quick to respond to my questions and very accommodating. I would book again without reservation.

Great location! Well stocked with kitchen items and lots of fun beach chairs, towels, and toys. Tennis and pickleball court was a fun perk! Had a little issue with the toilet being broken when we checked in but owner was easy to work with to resolve. Had a great time and only bummer was no shampoo/conditioner and couldn't get a late checkout but the last was my fault...I should have asked earlier. Would stay again.

You cannot beat this location. We loved enjoying the ocean view from the entire top floor of the condo. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The property was beautful and just steps from Brennebeck beach. Would definitely return!

Our family took a spring break trip. This was a perfect location for us. We love the beach and all water activities. Perfect for boogie boarding, surfing and snorkeling. Food options in the area are great! The house was perfect for my husband, me and our two children (12 and 16). The bedrooms in the basement gave us enough space. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. Very thankful for the AC, as we are from the mid west and dread the humidity! The grounds were beautiful and the ocean view was so nice. Never had any trouble finding a parking space. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Pros: perfect location for access to beach and to watch the sunset, property was clean and everything you needed in kitchen and beach towels were a great. Washer and dryer was a nice bonus. Cons: twin beds were squeaky and uncomfortable, only one bathroom has been updated to walk in shower. Could use some blinds in living room. Overall would stay here again.

AC was great perk to use while sleeping. View of ocean was good. Short walk to beach. Kitchen is fully stocked. Lots of brach equipment ( boogie boards, chairs, masks) available. Wish there were more cleaning supplies available to keep the place sparkling during our stay. ( There are Clorox wipes, Purell and rubbing alcohol) New tile floors look nice.
