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.

The condo was clean and the location was convenient to restaurants we visited when exploring the area . Enjoyed the local flair and comfortable living room to relax in at the end of a long day. We appreciated the beach towels & coolers. We loved being at ground level, it was nice to walk out and watch the sunset and see the sea turtles below. The communication was excellent and check in was a breeze. We felt welcomed, they went above and beyond. We would definitely stay again.
My family and I loved our stay at this absolutely beautiful home! Amazing views from the kitchen and living room. We enjoyed sitting outside on the lanai and even saw a sea turtle and whale in the ocean. Great location! Within walking distance to Poipu beach.
The views from the lanai were the est part of this property. It was not evident to us that it was like a walkout basement, so found the back bedrooms dark. We greatly enjoyed our time outside on the lanai!
Stay here was great. Sea turtles right outside. Very beachy decor. Kind little welcome gift.
If you are thinking of booking this property for your vacation, DO IT! Watching sea turtles feed on the reef every day from the front lawn, whales most days, even pods of dolphins. (we visited in December). Great amenities. Very private but also super accessible to all the south shore’s attractions. Amazing sunset views. Can see spouting horn in the distance while you drink your coffee. Excellent and responsive management team. Can’t say enough about how great this spot is. Can we just live here full time please?
