Poipu Sands 233 Beautifully Renovated Ocean View Penthouse Luxury Condo w/ AC

Location was great. Place is nice. Well stocked in the kitchen & beach towels/chairs and umbrella's. There were a few quirky things ie (a lamp that did not work) but we found another lamp in the closet so all was good). Spacious place. Beautiful pool (we were told they have one of the few heated pools on the island). The athletic Club is definitely a plus too. We enjoyed the amenities there and the Restraunt offered a good happy hour.

Perfect location with beautiful ocean views. It had everything we needed!

I understand things happen in life, so I only give a bad review if a host is unreasonable and does not try to right a wrong. When we arrived at a Poipu Sands condo in Kauai earlier this month managed by Poipu365, we were (un)welcomed with a very dirty space. Details would really gross people out, so I will spare those, but the true issue lies in the way Vicki, the owner of this company, handled the situation. She tried justifying every unclean area and wanted us to "put a blanket" over blood stained bedsheets for the night. Her listing also stated there was a pullout bed, when in reality it was an air mattress. Vicki lied about not being the manager and about a store not being open anymore that night to get new, clean sheets for her guests. She said "don't be unreasonable." She eventually dropped off new sheets, but not without our persistence and me actually having to ask would you want to sleep in someone else's blood stained sheets? Now, almost 2 weeks later, I called her to see why she hadn't responded to VRBO Cares (VRBO said she had not) and she continued to skirt around the issue and not take accountability. I am a business owner myself and would never consider treating my customers this way. She completely disregarded my legitimate concerns. I'm sure others have had wonderful stays with Poipu365, as one's true character only shows in times of adversity.

Surprised about 3rd floor with heavy luggage.Ck in at 4 is hottest part of day and no A/C running or breeze flowing through after hauling heavy luggage up was a bit much.Clean enough, however could dust fans, etc.Ice maker needs attention.This is just suggestions, however we all loved our stay, beautiful view from terrace and would return knowing what to expect.

Perfect condo for our needs. We had a conference at the Grand Hyatt and it was just a short walk there. Condo is very spacious with good privacy in the bedrooms and each with its own bathroom. Parking was always available right in front. The use of the Poipu Beach Athletic Club is a great bonus as well.

It was very nice!

All was exceptionally wondeful.

Great size condo for a family that has ocean views. Can walk to multiple beaches from the unit. Property has a big pool and BBQ pits as well. Unit had everything we needed to cook and prepare meals. Would recommend.

Amazing property. Loved our stay here.

Beautiful condo with a sea view! We used the patio all day everyday, its was our favorite spot to spend our time. The condo is located conveniently to all the attractions. We highly recommend this to all families looking for a relaxing getaway.

The views from this unit were amazing! You could hear the ocean all night and the trade winds blew straight through the unit! Walking distance to Shipwreck beach was amazing and we loved watching the surfers while there. The pools in the resort that you could walk to were great. The one right outside the balcony is huge and relaxing. It was never crowded when we were there. The couch and master bed were comfortable, but the 2nd bedroom mattress was hard as a rock. Luckily we found an air mattress in the closet that was more comfy. The bathrooms were nice, hot water, good water pressure. The "air conditioning' wasn't great. With it being on the 3rd (top) floor, the unit was often rather warm in the afternoons, and the a/c couldn't keep up, so we mostly kept the screen doors and windows open so the winds would blow through.The kitchen had everything you need except for a rice cooker. We didn't wanna cook too much and add to the heat in the unit. The dishwasher smelled disgusting, as well as the "clean" dishes we found in the cabinets. Specifically the glasses/mugs. The dishwasher needs a good cleaning. We hand washed everything before we used it. The carpet is ready for an upgrade and matted down. The porch furniture could also use an upgrade and the beach toy closet needs a cleaning too. The beach chairs and most of the items in there need to be replaced!This was our last stop before heading home, and we were exhausted and made the best of staying in this unit.

Due to maintenance on the property we were not able to stay here. Vickie at Poipu365 was very helpful in helping us find another location in the same area that worked out great.

This was an incredible property. The location was perfect for us to explore the volcano as well as south Kona beaches. Peaceful and quiet with a beautiful view. And it was probably the cleanest property I have ever stayed in.

Awesome location and condo made our trip a breeze. Would highly recommend.

Great stay overall, view and property were beautiful and very close to shipwrecks beach. A couple of minor things to note, it’s a third floor unit with stair access so plan accordingly and AC is not central so second room gets a bit warm.Poipu Sands was a great homebase for our island adventure and would stay again!

Property was really well kept, close walk to a beautiful beach, great amenities.

We really like the place. It was clean, beds were really nice, bathrooms were clean. Decor and carpet is a bit dated. Kitchen had what we needed to cook meals. Air conditioner worked perfectly. The view was amazing. Patio screen door was difficult to open and close. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat!

We had a great time staying on Kauai this year. The condo was clean and well appointed. To address some other reviews - there was no construction noise and there were plenty of bath and kitchen towels (though just 4 beach towels). The kitchen also had a some spices and condiments (I assume left by other people, but it was nice to see they didn’t just dump them in the trash). The beds were comfortable. The pool was great. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. We went to a conference at the Hyatt next door, and it was pleasant and easy to walk each morning.

Very nice condo and well stocked with all things needed. The view was definitely worth going up and down 32 stairs. Wouldn’t have wanted any other condo in the place. I will surely be returning to this happy place.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoy Poipu and this condo. It is our 4th time renting. The view is great and the breeze is steady. It is always tidy, though we’ve noticed over time it starting to get a bit tired. The condo really needs a deep clean (carpets, walls, cupboards, furniture). The management company is responsive and professional. Hopefully the owner can spring for a deep clean - it needs it.

Construction going on lots of noise. Unit 2 where we stayed had fork lifts and big rigs off loading. Parked in front of our unit. Roof being replaced next door. Will never use again. So dissatisfied.Safety concerns.

Discription said there was sleeper sofa. No sleeper sofa. There’s only 2 washcloths in the bathroom. Kitchen did not have a single kitchen cloth to wipe counters down. Vacuum sweeper did not work. Didn’t pick up anything. Spitting stuff out from it. Chairs on patio need replaced. Rusted terrible.

Overall the condo was great. The location is perfect. The listing said pullout couch. Which I contacted the host after we arrived . They stated pullout couch after I said there was not. To find there is an air mattress. We lost power one day. To find it was a main breaker. When we realized it was only our until after going out for the day. The lady in the office was incredibly nice and was there very quickly. I also thought I had locked us out one time and called the office. Again, the office lady/host was incredibly nice and patient when we realized on of our kids had a spare key on their bag we were taking with us. The AC units are OK. The main bedroom works well it’s a small space for it. The second one in the living space barely cools that space and not the 2nd bedroom. We only used them at night while sleeping. Overall, it is a nice place to stay. Location is perfect. They were incredibly helpful.

We loved the condo and the location is great (nice and close to everything). This is my new favorite island and we will definitely be back! As far as the condo, there is plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen/bathrooms are well stocked. My girls loved having access to the athletic club which was a huge plus.

Great location, clean and well stocked kitchen.

Our stay was really good. The property is nice and spacious. The property was very clean. We didn't need to use the AC at all, as long as the windows are open, it stays well ventilated and really nice.

Having stayed in Poipu many times previously and more recently at Poipu Sands this unit was great for our family. Midpoint between Shipwreck Beach and Brenneke Beach is the ideal location on Kauai. Proximity to the pool and to the Hyatt along with fantastic ocean views really make this a very special place. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view from the very spacious lanai. We’ll definitely recommend This unit to our friends and family.

The condo was clean upon arrival, well furnished and exactly as described. It is within walking distance to the Grand Hyatt which has beautiful grounds and a nice coffee shop as well as restaurants. A walking path runs along the ocean and throughout the adjacent properties. The condo is centrally located and a short drive to shopping and restaurants. The pool was a short walk from the unit and there were plenty of lounge chairs and a few umbrellas. The condo has a very nice floor plan and is very large and roomy. My girlfriend and I loved that we each had our own bedroom and adjacent bathroom. Prior to coming to Kauai were on Waikiki Beach staying in a hotel. The condo was the perfect retreat for the slower pace of Kauai. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai late in the afternoon and would have a cocktail or glass of wine while looking at the ocean reminising about our day or planning the next day adventures. Overall our experience was wonderful and our visit to Kauai memorable. Vicki and her staff were quick to respond to any questions I had. I highly recommend this condo. It was quiet and comfortable. As mentioned in the listing description, the condo is without an elevator. Although it did not affect us, this may be something to consider if you have difficulty with stairs.

The property was very quiet and good view of pool and ocean. Grounds surrounding the property were very nice. The pool and barbecues were very clean and worked well.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed twice now and enjoyed both times. Well equipped and clean. Great location. Very nice breeze. Has AC units but never use due to breeze. I do wish they’d replace the lanai furniture....its rusty and uncomfortable and generally blight on an otherwise nice rental.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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: Never expected anything to look like this the facility had everything and I mean everything. From swim fins to boogie boards to chairs to umbrellas a wonderful deck to sit on, and enjoy the sun and the view of the ocean every utensil bowl plate that you can think of.. beds were wonderful, comfy showers nice and clean. more than accommodating when I asked for late checkout the answer was yes, right away. The pool was nice and warm. Lots of places to lounge around to enjoying and relax. My family enjoyed this this day and hope to get back in the near future

Loved that there was the athletic club included.

Very nice property with beautiful sunrise views. Welll appointed, large kitchen, comfortable beds. The unit is on the third floor, so packing in and out for the week requires navigating the stairs. The only problem we encountered while there was the washing machine would not operate. We did not discover that until the end of the trip. The property manager was quick to respond. All in all, we felt it was a good value, and would definitely do it again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is great! The kitchen and baths are very up to date. The view from the dining table are exquisite. There are 42 steps to get to the unit, so make sure you are up to that.

The location of the property was excellent- walkable to different amenities and the beach. Good view of the ocean, with a large balcony. They also accommodated a late request for an early check in. Everything was also very clean. I would wonder what the recent renovations were that they had advertised? The unit itself clearly had a very old carpet thought out as well as very outdated furnishings. Additionally there was an alarm that went off nearly the entire night from another unit nearby and no one responded to my text from the on call service.
