Rental Details

Property Overview

We purchased this lovely ground floor garden view condo in April, 2013. This condominium has a large master bedroom with A/C. The master bedroom has an an en-suite master bath with a walk in shower. Our home also has a half bath for your convenience. Our spacious lanai is an excellent place to kick back and enjoy your morning coffee or romantic dinner. Poipu Sands is located directly next to the ocean near famous Shipwreck Beach and adjacent to the Kauai Grand Hyatt Resort and Spa. The Grand Hyatt resort offers lush tropical grounds, casual and fine dining as well as shops and entertainment. Shipwreck Beach, located in front of the Hyatt is usually sunny and less crowded than other Poipu Beaches. This is a beautiful beach to take a romantic evening stroll and is often used as the backdrop for wedding photos. Poipu Sands is located within the upscale Poipu Kai resort. The Poipu Kai development is located on 70 acres and extends from Poipu Beach to Shipwreck Beach. The resort is connected by a green belt that has beautiful garden paths winding through it. The Kiahuna Golf Course and the Poipu Bay Golf Course are both in very near proximity. The Poipu Kai tennis and pickleball club is just a short walk from our unit. You may also enjoy a game of tennis on Poipu Sands private tennis court. Poipu Sands is the only complex within Poipu Kai that offers a private tennis court. Poipu Sands also offers a large seasonally heated private swimming pool. You also have access to an additional pool and hot tub just a short walk down the green belt path. Poipu Beach which has been ranked as one of the top beaches in the United States is just a short 10 minute walk from our unit along the pleasant Poipu Kai green belt. This beach has both a shallow area which is excellent for swimming with small children and a great snorkeling area as well. This is a favorite spot to see napping endangered monk seals and Hawaiian sea turtles. Old Koloa Town located less than five miles away is the site of the island's first sugar mill. Historic Old Koloa Town is a hub of picturesque shops, eateries, gift and souvenir emporiums. There are a variety of Luaus throughout Kauai including one at the Grand Hyatt Resort right next door. You may also enjoy a horse back ride along the Mahaulepu Coast line, renting a stand up paddle board to enjoy the ocean surf or dining at the large variety of nearby restaurants ranging from family fare to upscale and romantic. Take a lovely evening stroll along the green belt to Poipu Beach to enjoy the sunset then come home to enjoy dinner on your very own quiet and comfortable lanai.

Location and Amenities was great. Our host was wonderful leading up to the trip. Everything was ready when we got there. A/C in bedroom was a lifesaver. Fans just do not quite cut it. Would stay here again!

This condo is the perfect location for a getaway to Kauai in the Poipu area. Walkable to two beaches and fabulous restaurants at the Hyatt next door. It was exceptionally clean and provided every amenity one needs and more. Beach chairs, umbrella coolers, etc. We will definitely be back.

Bedroom with AC was helpful. Rooms were a little musty. Overall could use some updating in the future.

Excellent location — an easy walk to several beaches. Spacious living space and bedroom. Loved the lanai — a great spot to watch the sun rise and relax after a day of exploring. Greatly appreciated the AC in the bedroom. Host was very responsive and directed us towards a local concierge who helped us book several activities during our stay.

Great stay. Property was close to everything and next to the Grand Hyatt. The condo is well stocked and has everything one may need, and the owners are fabulous communicators. The air conditioner in the bedroom was great! I am sensitive to smells, and the condo did have a very strong musty smell. This could be easily remedied with an air purifier or a nice candle. We were out exploring more than we were in the condo and it was the perfect spot to explore the south side of the island. Highly recommend the Beach House for dinner with reservations at sunset.

Really nice place for the two of us to stay. It was pretty hot while we were there, so we missed not having an air conditioner. The location is really good; I just think we are old and kind of partial to the slowness of the north shore. Kathy was wonderful and made everything easy.

A beautiful location and a terrific host. Kathy (the owner) was very responsive and accomandated a slightly early check-in since the unit was ready. The condo was very clean and well appointed. All the basics were already there in terms of spices, cooking oil, and every pot, pan, or untensil you could ever need. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, all ready for use. I absolutely would recommend this property and this unit specifically to future guests.

Outstanding. This unit was exactly as described by our very responsive host Kathy. Immaculate and ready for us at check-in time. All the amenities worked perfectly and easy to figure out especially with Kathy's excellent instructions. No ocean view from the Lanai itself but a ten-foot walk onto the large common area gave us a nice panorama. Easy walk to a very nice pool, and easy walk the opposite direction to hang out at Shipwreck Beach. We had a wonderful time!

We enjoyed everything about this condo. The location is perfect! The only thing had nothing to do with the owner or the condo itself. It is with the cleaners. I don't think they wash the floors. You shouldn't be wearing shoes inside but we found the floors to be so dirty that we had no choice. Hopefully that was just a one time thing. But, we will definitely be back to this condo in the future. The owner was easy to get a hold of and the condo is lovely. We have stayed in a LOT of condos in Hawaii and this is the best one on Kauai that we've stayed. We'll be back!!

Kathy & Bob, This accommodation was perfect in so many ways. The unit was well stocked with initial kitchen supplies, beach equipment and information of local dining options. We enjoyed our hiking in Kokee State Park as well as walks from the unit. Our morning sunrise walks were a great way to start the day. It was a great four days of relaxation and maybe we’ll get back there again. Many thanks, Don & Charlene P.

This property is central to many popular experiences on the South Shore of Kauai. Check in was easy, communication was wonderful, and the unit itself was immaculate. The air conditioning in the master suite was a wonderful treat. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us. We truly enjoyed our stay.

This condo is in a great location and we enjoyed our time here. The condo was very clean and exactly as described. It was nice to be close to the ocean but also have access to a beautiful pool area as well. Communication was great with Kathy and she was always very responsive.

This ground floor home is adorable. She has thought of everything, Its close to resorts with amazing food. Enjoyed spending our last 3 nights on the south shore. The AC in the bedroom gets the room perfect to fall asleep. I am a light sleeper and needed to get ear plugs so it could be run off and on at night as needed. We were very busy and did not hang out during the day. We used the pool once it was a great cool off at the end of the day.

We loved this property for its closeness to Shipwreck Beach. Everything that you could think of was supplied by the owner. The only issue I had was operating the TV! The 2 remotes were confusing to this older lady. Following the instructions left by the owner didn't always work, but then who watches that much TV when you are vacationing in paradise. I highly recommend this property!

We loved everything about this condo. From the moment we walked in and were welcomed by sounds of Hawaii, we felt at home. Sparkly clean and spacious, with everything you need within walking distance. Grab the provided beach chairs and umbrella and head to either Poipu or Shipwreck Beach! Hike the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail that begins at Shipwreck Beach for stunning views. Walk the path through Poipu Kai Resort from Shipwreck Beach (in front of Grand Hyatt) to Brennecke's Beach to watch sea turtles come up for their nighttime rest. Enjoy a relaxing day at the Grand Hyatt pool and lagoon via Resort Pass or simply lounge in the comfy outdoor chairs listening to the sounds of the ocean. All of the amenities in the condo and on the grounds were well cared for and it is obvious Kathy & Bob take great pride in making sure you enjoy your stay. Kathy got right back to us when we reached out and was so helpful. We stayed here for 5 nights in May to celebrate our 35th anniversary and hope to be back for our 40th and beyond!

Went to Waikiki for a wedding then decided to come to Kauai for the first time. The condo was a perfect place to use as a home base to see all the sights and to relax. I loved the location next to the Grand Hyatt so there were many scenic walking areas.

Perfect for a couple. Bed was comfortable. Half door on shower causes some splatter... Kitchen well equipped. Good breeze passing through when front and back doors open and screen doors closed. Nice to have an air conditioner in bedroom for sleeping. Walkway to Grand Hyatt and Poipu Point excellent!

We absolutely loved the clean, spacious apartment so close to Shipwreck and the Hyatt. We walked to the tortoise area and the caves and Maulepu and had a fabulous time. Loved the kitchen and washer/dryer. The TV was a bit of a puzzle, but everything else was great.
