Reviews
The Koloa Kai folks did a great job of responding to the couple of issues we had. They were prompt and satisfied our concerns completely. The unit we rented was great. Well maintained, clean, and allowed us a great vacation. The views from the lanai were incredible.
Seamless check-in process and prompt communication during stay. Condo was the end unit overlooking the Pacific! Beautiful views from the balcony. Even spotted whales from there multiple times during our stay! Perfect location, walkable to the nearby beaches. A couple restaurants and pop-up coffee shop walkable from the condo. We stayed here with our two kids 9 and 12. Would definitely stay again!!! Street parking out front was always available and super convenient entry to the rental.
The host was communicative and provided excellent resources regarding location amenities, places to visit, things to do, and places to eat.The location provided relaxing sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the rocky shore day and night; and provided unobstructed views of the ocean with periodic sightings of whales, dolphins, sea turtles, and sea lions.
What a beautiful condo with a breathtaking ocean view! Koloa Kai property management was so helpful and communicative! Great stay!
Great view. Grounds well maintained. Nice location.Unit DEFINITELY NEEDS SOME REPAIR:bathroom venting permanently disabled due to "noise"; fix it.Shades in bedroom don't workWindow louvers broken so windows don't open (multiple)Ice chest brokenBeach shades brokentoo few bath towels: 3 for 2 peopleNo closet in 2nd bedroom and little space to store anythingPut some money in to the unit and fix these basic items. Would not stay in this unit again or recommend it. For the price, I'm sure there are better maintained units, and noticed building mostly empty.
The condo was great spot to stay and use as a base to explore the whole island over our stay. We stayed at the end of March 2025. Walking distance to several beaches and an easy drive to many more. Easy access to the whole island and our daily adventures! The view was impeccable and it was fantastic watching whales swim by and turtles bobbing around in the surf below the deck. The condo was a vacation inside of our vacation. People mentioned the lack of AC as negative? We found the climate to be perfect and did not need AC in the condo. We live in Wyoming, so maybe if you live in AC most of the year, than you need it to feel comfortable? With the doors and windows open it, we were always comfortable, enjoying exactly what we came for, Warm weather! It is not the Four Seasons, so if you need that level of finish and amenities, I would look elsewhere. If you are down to earth and practical, looking for a clean place that is ocean side to bask in while you are on Kauai, than this condo is a great choice! We will be Back! Thank you
Unit was clean and nicely decorated; lanai provided space for great whale watching. Enjoyed pool throughout the week.
Convenient location to walk to both beaches, restaurants. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises
Everything was perfect. The property, the unit and the communication
We loved every minute and cannot wait to return!
The view was amazing and the condo very nice. We had zero issues during our stay. The pictures and description were all accurate. We even got to watch the turtles in the ocean a few times right from the lanai. We would love to return to this place in the future!
Lovely, well appointed condo with amazing ocean view. The patio was a treat to sit on each morning and evening and watch the turtles and dolphins swim by. Communication with management staff was excellent.
Just right for 2 people great view
This condo had everything we needed - some kitchen and laundry basics, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella. Easy parking, mostly quiet neighbors and spectacular ocean views (with dolphins, turtles and even a whale!). We would definitely stay here again.
Ocean views were amazing. Great to see turtles swimming right from our lanai. Being 1 step up from pool level gave us a much better view of ocean. Communication with property management was easy when a lightbulb needed replacement. They even sent us a notification when a highway accident occurred to allow for extra travel time to get to our destination for the morning. Greatly appreciated. Hope to be back.
