Rental Details

Property Overview

Walk to Brennecke's Beach, Poipu Beach Park, Kiahuna Beach, Shipwreck Beach, the Hyatt beach, and more. Restaurants in walking distance include Brennecke's Beach Broiler and Kalapaki Joe's, both Kauai classics you won't want to miss. Our Poipu rentals at Kahala at Poipu Kai share a wide variety of resort amenities. Kahala has its own swimming pool and jacuzzi and shares tennis courts with other units at the Poipu Kai complex. The tennis courts and pool are conveniently close to Kahala 123. A pleasant stroll through the grounds brings you to Brennecke's beach, and to the Poipu Beach Park just on the other side of that. The Poipu Beach Park is a sheltered white sand beach that's perfect for children to wade and swim.

Several dining options are also within walking distance, like Kalapaki Joe's, the westernmost sports bar and grill in the United States! A very short walk across the grounds and you'll be able to enjoy happy hour, Taco Tuesdays, poke bowls, burgers and more. Brennecke's Beach Broiler is only a couple minutes farther on foot. You can enjoy your day at the beach then stop in for anything from shave ice to sushi, or some of the best fish and chips around.

Kahala 123 is a spacious 1br/1ba with an ocean view. There are lovely wood floors throughout, and a private lanai where you can enjoy an informal al fresco meal while watching the ocean. The full kitchen means you can prepare your own meals and dine privately at home, though if you want to go out, Kalapaki Joe's is really close and Brennecke's Beach Broiler about a 10 minute walk. The bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed. The dining area seats 4. While the bedroom and bathroom have not had recent updates, they are fully functional and meticulously clean.

Enjoy sunny south shore beaches from this comfortable ocean view apartment. Free parking onsite.

Air conditioning in bedroom only. It is a portable air conditioner and is not intended to cool the whole the unit. It will work best if all bedroom doors are shut.

This is an upstairs condo so you need to be able to go up and down stairs. There are no elevators.

Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

Note: host requires all guests, whether they book directly or via a third party website, to complete a rental agreement within 3 days of booking.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me start by saying the grounds, view and location are great in Poipu. How ever upon arrival several not so good things. Had to call for more toilet paper right away, loose toilet when sitting, air conditioning only in queen bed room, rest of condo super hot. floor fans worked ok, one was broken. chipped coffee cups, teflon pans coating peeling severely causes lead flakes in food. Coffee maker leaks every time you pour coffee! Floors needed to be mopped. This unit is nice but needs some care for sure!

Rating Details: The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location! Just perfect. It was easy to find and had no problem finding it late at night. We used the swimming pool and hot tube every night. The condo was clean except for the bath tub which need a deep cleaning. Tried to find some cleanser or scrubbing bubbles. Also, the toilet moved overtime we stood up. Yea, I’m not a big girl. Anyways, I don’t want to be critical because it was a perfect location.

Great location for seeing the sights but the unit gets very hot. We tried everything to keep it cool. Thank goodness for the AC in the bedroom that’s where we stayed most of the time. The unit itself is dated but functional.

Condo dated - needs maintenance for safety issues like tub/shower grab bars (tub is large soaking type tub and difficult to step into); no smoke alarm in bedroom, A/C vent needs to be more secure in window opening or it comes loose and hot A/C exhaust blows into room; needs cleaning of bathroom vents, needs cleaning A/C filters BADLY ! Tub is slippery and no rubber mat provided; tub/toilet room light fixture does not appear to be working correctly - takes a long time to turn on and blinks repeatedly before steady light; toilet is not stable and rocks when sat upon; toilet lid is broken or needs tightening on right hinge; bath towels are small and flimsy; Unit does not really get breeze and gets very hot inside-A/C does not really cool bedroom during night. Location good; pool good; appliances work okay; note: extra charge for laundering more than 1 set towels per person!

The location’s great and the unit is spacious. However, it was SO hot, that it was impossible to enjoy it. We were supposed to cook our meals, but didn’t want to spend the time there. It says AC in the headline & the amenities list, but it’s only a small portable AC in the bedroom (with the heat coming back from the window). It actually says this on the text paragraph, I guess it’s my fault that I didn’t pay enough attention and trusted the headline/amenities list. It was so hot that we would have moved at our own cost but nothing was really available in Poipu area. Stayed at the end of July.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Since our last stay, there have been several upgrades which made our stay even better this time. A new stove that worked lots better, new beach chairs and an umbrella that we used almost every day, and, best of all, AC in the bedroom. The AC served two purposes...cooling the room and drowning out the noise from the nearby road. The best part of this condo remains the location and the views from the balcony. We looked at other places, but it always comes back to the views! Communication with management was good, the place was clean, and we would definitely stay again.

Everything was nice...however, the AC was not for the entire unit Just the bedroom), and the bedroom AC unit was not exhausting the hot air outside, rather the hot air was going into the room and making it hotter! It was close 90 degrees in there when we arrived at 7:45 PM. We fixed it so it sent the hot air outside, but this was not something we should have had to do.Unit was nice, though dated, but was in a great locatiion!

The location is well located for exploring and easy to get in and out of, an important factor during busy times. It’s close the pool and an easy walk to Kalapaki Joe’s. The downside is the pool can get noisy in the evening until it closes at 10pm and the south facing lanai can get pretty hot during the day. All that said, after the sun goes down and the pool empties, it’s a real delight with a great view.

Our stay was wonderful. I love the Poipu Kai property. It was beautifully kept. Our room had a fantastic view and was a quick step to the pool, but the location was not ideal otherwise…close to main road and trash bins so kinda noisy. The room itself needs a complete clean of drapes and rugs and pillows. Also, the lanai furniture is pretty blah. Towels and linens need freshening as they are quite threadbare. The room is very dated in style and decor but functional. I would stay at Poipu Kai again but I would choose a room with a king bed (personal comfort) and further in from road.

Fabulous location! Walk to beach and restaurants. Condo is very spacious and the view is beautiful. The condo itself is in need of some maintenance and a few things are broken and nonfunctional . Regardless of the need for updating and checking to make sure everything is in working order we had a fantastic time and recommend this location

It’s a little outdated but I didn’t spend that much time inside so it was fine for me. The pool area is nice and very clean.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic location, nice view, close to the beach. A little noisy at times due to unit’s proximity to the pool and tennis courts, but being close to the pool was convenient, and, most importantly, it was quiet between 9 pm and 8 am. Unit could use some updating (kitchen & bathroom appliances & fixtures), but it was clean and comfortable. We would definitely return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is in the perfect location for everything you want or need in the Poipu area. It's in the middle of Poipu Kai Resort, so easy walking distance to Shipwreck Beach all the way to Marriott Beach. The condo itself is very comfortable and well furnished with everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. And the views!! We sat on our lanai every morning and most evenings just enjoying the view. No a/c but we never missed it, because the breezes blow through for great sleeping! Everything was neat and clean, including the pool area. We enjoyed most nights in the hot tub located right below the condo. We will be back!!
