Poipu Kapili 1 by Alekona Kauai: Oceanfront Corner Villa w/ Air Conditioning

We were worried about the reviews about the temperature, but they kindly offered fans. A hiccup the first night- the master was 81 degrees. They were super responsive and helpful and sent someone over quickly and when we got home from dinner the temp was 72!! I learned a few tricks too- close the bathroom and closet doors, keeps lights to a minimum and shades closed. No problem and I am a hot sleeper! The decor is high end and very comfortable. Ocean view amazing. Sheraton beach a 5 minute walk and close to anything you need! I highly recommend and I am particular.

Loved this rental, it was peaceful, beautiful, and close to great restaurants.

The property was as good as advertised with the view of the ocean being the most spectacular feature. There were three items that detracted from our stay. The AC needs updating. The bedrooms upstairs were too warm during the day and the first half of the night. The TV in the primary bedroom is very frustrating to use. The channel guide doesn't work correctly, so we had to go channel by channel to find something. It takes about 5 seconds to move from one channel to the next. The downstairs bathroom doesn't have a door to separate it from the laundry, and the door to the laundry doesn't lock. Other than these three things, the property was great. The view is worth the price alone and made dealing with the other issues worthwhile.

Beautiful place with full kitchen and spices. Loved having breakfast watching the waves. Bring earplugs to avoid the rooster calls.

Just Fabulous

We absolutely loved our stay in this condo! Everything was clean and in working order. When we arrived there were cookies and ground coffee waiting for us. Both bedrooms were large and comfortable and the living area spacious! The pool was wonderful and perfect temperature! The location couldn’t be better - lots of places to walk and lots of great restaurants nearby! Our favorite activity was feeding Tommy every morning - just love him!! Highly recommend this property and would love the opportunity to return!

Overall a nice stay. A few critiques. In my opinion the place is too filled/stocked. We enjoyed feeding Tommy the cat each day but the cat food takes up a large area in the cabinets. Therefore, there is no where to store your groceries but the countertop. The drawers and other cabinets have all the supplies you need but so many things that stuff is difficult to find. It would feel more tidy if there was a bit less. The pillow tops on the mattresses make the beds overly soft. Both my husband and I l, and even my children, found it difficult to sleep until I removed them from both beds. Lastly, I found myself irritated that they ask you not to turn the AC below 73. If you offer AC and pay the premium you should not be told the temperature in which to set it. My brother was at a lesser unit down the road with AC and no restrictions. We additionally had just stayed at a unit in Princeville and could do the same. 73 in July/August in Hawaii can still feel a bit warm especially at night. Even more, in a 2 story property. It’s all personal preference but if I pay for it, I want to control the temperature myself.

Exactly as described.

This unit and property had everything we were looking for - panoramic views of the ocean, close to everything, spacious and quiet, well stocked with beach and kitchen stuff. We loved that the bedrooms were upstairs and there was plenty of privacy. We saw so many whales right from the lanai! And so many beautiful sunsets!

The condo is so beautiful extremely well-equipped. Lots of useful amenities such as a cooler and ice packs. The visiting outdoor kitty is a delight.
