Getting Around:
When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.
Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.

CANCELLATION POLICIES:
• Reservations canceled 30 days or more prior to arrival date are 100% refundable.
PESTS:
Kauai is in a climate that is considered to be both tropical and within a rainforest category, known for its lush flora and fauna. The environmental factors create a situation where pests (insects) are nearly impossible to eradicate from every property constantly. Many bugs fly in when a door is open at night or are simply small enough to come in through screens on windows and sliding doors. For this reason, Koloa Kai engages regular quarterly pest control in every property to keep the pests at bay. Despite these efforts, it is possible to have pests in your property, and if that happens, Koloa Kai will take all measures possible as quickly as possible to mitigate any issues. Any monetary compensation, refunds or discounts will be given solely at the discretion of Koloa Kai and will only be available in situations where the company agrees that an infestation has occurred. Koloa Kai reserves the right to investigate and provide remediation of any pest issue. The mere presence of pests in the property shall not constitute grounds for monetary compensation.
30-DAY MAXIMUM RENTALS:
Koloa Kai LLC provides only short-term rentals with a maximum reservation of 30 days. Each reservation is fully documented and provides for a fixed date and time for check-in and check-out, rental rates, associated fees, and all other requirements required by local and state law. If a guest books consecutive reservations where the check-out and check-in dates are concurrent, then a cleaning fee will be assessed, and a Koloa Kai designated cleaning professional/inspector will have unrestricted access to the property for the purposes of cleaning and inspection of the property. During the time between reservations, described by the check-out time and check-in time specifically, the guests shall vacate the property so that the designated cleaning professional/inspector can conduct a full reservation clean and inspection in accordance with Koloa Kai’s standard practice. Guest access to the property shall be restricted specifically to the date/times of the reservation documentation and may not be extended upon verbal or text message confirmation.
Hawaii Laws require that GET (4.712%), Kauai TAT (3.0%) and TAT (11%) taxes apply to the cleaning fee.

The condo was very clean, great view and as described. Great communication with hosts.
As soon as we walked in the place was just as described! The kitchen was amazing and the view from the lanai was our absolute favorite place to be sunrise and sunset! Poipu sands #513 we couldn't have been more happy with our choice and a huge thank you for the welcome basket and sharing of home for 9 days. It was so close to so many things we were able to enjoy the whole island from this spot. We hope to come back again and we will look for this place !
Located near the grand Hyatt, beautiful view. :)
Perfection! Kōloa Kai Vacation Rentals goes the extra! Our vacation was amazing. Our view was spectacular; palm trees, the ocean and sky. Tradewinds through the massive slider. Quiet and fragrant of plumerias.
Location and view are wonderful and we would stay here again because of that. The view and access to Shipwreck Beach make this home special. The condo is very nice and everything you need is provided. But, if you are a person that gets warm, the unit does get hot during the day. We went out early in the morning and came back in the afternoon after the sun was no longer directly on the patio and living area — so it worked for us. There is a portable ac in the bedroom which cools the bedroom with the bedroom door closed at night. A mini split or a portable ac unit in the living area would really be great.Instructions are needed on how to use television. There are 2 remotes and a hand written note that is not clear. It is a beautiful spot!
Aloha this location is perfect easy to get to everything ! Property is exactly as listed & well equipped! Just a short walk to shipwreck beach & the Hyatt ! If you are an early riser you will get magnificent sunrises . AC in bedroom worked perfect for comfortable sleeping ! Management team is attentive & easy to communicate with . Would definitely book again ! Mahalo
We absolutely loved it here! We were greeted with such a beautiful and thoughtful anniversary package - including balloons that said happy anniversary. The team also had great communication, got us into our room early, and made sure we had the best time. The views from this place are amazing! Honestly seemed like the best views in the complex. I woke up every morning, made coffee, and walked out onto the beach to view the ocean. This area also makes it very easy to get around, drive to town or walk to town (if you like long walks) and we also went to the Grand Hyatt and used their gym/spa amenities (400 for 5 days for 1 pass) and leveraged their restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. You could see people jumping off from the cliff from our room. Had the best time of my life here. Apartment also had an awesome amount of seasonings, cooking materials, and everything you need to make yourself at home. We loved our week here. If you keep your eyes out, you may also see beautiful geckos outside hiding on the walls, benches, or in the bushes. Saw seals and turtles on the beach outside. So peaceful and what a beautiful warm home.
Location,Location,Location!!! What a wonderful view of Shipwreck Beach, and the access to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu Beach. I Highly recommend Poipu Sands and unit 513. Mahalo!!
Such a beautiful, easy place to stay. Walk out the lanai to the beach, the Hayat, and then into a great trail system to hike along the bluffs where you can look down and see turtles in the water.Kitchen is well appointed. Bed is very comfortable. Would stay here again.
We enjoyed the location so much Able to see so mu h with ease Lovely view from lanai. Absolutely beautiful.
Wow, fantastic location! Unbelievable sunrise views right from your lanai. Loved running and walking on all the pathways in the neighborhood. Very short walk to the beach. The condo itself was well appointed. No central air but had a unit for the bedroom, so comfortable sleeping.
This unit has an incredible view. It's extremely well outfitted with everything to make your stay comfortable. It's a very short walk to the beach as well as the large pool. The staff was immediately responsive to a minor issue with the internet on checkin. I would choose this again the next time I am in Kauai.
Fully stocked and pictures don’t do the view justice. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
We booked this for our anniversary and the host had a note and little gift greeting us to the place. The room where was outstanding – from the minute we walked in until we left. The lanai overlooks Shipwreck beach, and it was delightful to watch the sun rise every morning. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - very comfortable bed and we loved having the AC for our bedroom at night. We would come back to this unit on future trips.
A lovely unit!
Poipu Sands 513 was the perfect condo for us. Beautiful view of shipwreck beach and the walking path was nice through the Grand Hyatt property. We enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future.
We come once a year with friends from Spokane. We were in building 5, they were in building 4. Couldn’t have been easier. Here’s some items to consider: * Door to the bedroom doesn’t stay closed when windows are open. * There a shortage of forks. * Buckles on the extra large swim fins are broken. * We broke a small wine glass. * Would be nice to have a salad spinner. Otherwise perfect.
This place is amazing. The description doesn’t do it justice. The view is so lovely, and you’re so close to Shipwreck which I think is more beautiful (and less crowded) than Poipu Beach which is a lovely one mile walk. The condo is huge for a 1 bedroom, with 1.5 baths. Kitchen huge and well stocked. Bed is great, bathroom with 2 sinks. Tons of beach gear. Love the ability to open windows for great cross breezes. And the mini AC in bedroom is perfect. Koloa Kai the management company is totally on top of keeping you informed and answering any question. I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals, this is one of the very best.
The condo was perfect, in a great location, with beautiful views of the sunrise over the ocean.
We usually stay in two bedroom units in this complex, but did one bedroom this time since we were alone. The unit is clean and perfectly located. A few upgrades were suggested to owners and rental agency. This was our first time renting from Koloa Kai and we were very impressed with easy check in and quick responses to our needs. I would recommend this agency to future renters.
Just a great spot in a beautiful place. Easy access and location to nearby sights.
I have traveled the world and don't often post reviews. This is an outstanding place. I wish we could have been here our original day (thank you United Airlines). I strongly recommend it. Many reasons for this. Other reviews articulated them. I often consider not posting a (deserved) exceptional review, because I don't want it to become so popular I can never book it again. Probably won't be back in Kauai for years, so ... this is exceptional. We loved our stay.
