The Space:
Hurricane Lowell Update (9/9/26): Our thoughts are with everyone on Kauai still recovering from Hurricane Lowell, especially those who lost their homes — parts of the island, including areas of Poipu, were hit hard. For guests with an upcoming stay: we inspected this property in person, found no storm damage, and roads and access here are normal. Recovery across the island is ongoing and will take time. Check kauai.gov for current conditions, or message us with questions about your dates. Mahalo for your patience.

We had a lovely stay. Very convenient location walkable to beaches and heritage trail - it’s more removed from the bigger resorts so you don’t feel the mass of humanity stepping out your door.
Great communication and short walk to the beach. Loved the property.
Great location. Nice pool and well kept grounds. Did amenities in modern kitchen. Only negative was vented bathroom doors.
This was a great spot. The unit had everything a person needs while visiting Kauai.
Comfortable beds, clean and spacious, beautiful grounds and great location. Loved the beach toys!
We had a lovely stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Nihi Kai! The condo was clean and had more than enough towels, dishes, cooking supplies, etc. They even provided umbrellas, beach chairs and boogie boards. These were great for the easy walk down to Brennecke and Poipu beaches!
Within walking distance to several Poipu beaches and was quiet. Property is clean and communication was easy and responsive with both the hosts and managing company. Downstairs bedrooms were comfortable each having their own a/c. Upstairs did stay warmer than downstairs.
Amazing place!
