Overall we enjoyed our stay. The view can not be beat! 180 degree ocean view from the lanai. We spend every morning and sunset out there watching whales and just relaxing. The building is really showing its age however the finishes and furnishings in this unit are updated and in good condition. No noise from the street or neighbors, only the ocean! Well equipped kitchen. Great location in Poipu! We could walk to the beach. I think it was 1/3 of a mile. In the other direction was a fantastic walking path that runs up to the Hyatt. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning. Listing says it has AC but it’s only a tiny portable unit that doesn’t really do much unless you’re standing in front of it. It was requested that we leave the windows closed while out for the day so that means we came home to a roasting hot condo. Even in January, fans and ocean breezes don’t really cut it. Mornings were pleasant but after an entire day of south facing sun exposure, the afternoons, evenings, and nights were not very comfortable inside. But I must reiterate that the view and location are absolutely top notch!

The best view in Poipu. Absolutely gorgeous!Beautifully furnished, including the spacious lanai.Downsides: an occasional sewage smell emanating from outside of the property. The unit was too hot to sleep comfortably.

Really enjoyed our stay, the cool breeze kept our unit so comfortable, view of the honu in the coves below so mesmerizing, and the waves crashing below like a lullaby

Great, quiet location in Poipu. Easy parking & access. Excellent service from Lucy & all! Office conveniently located. Spacious and comfortable layout for 2 couples. No privacy in the master bedroom (door). 2nd bedroom need a/c. No circulation. Also junky closet with all the beach gear. Showers are in bad shape. Needs deep cleaning in kitchen & bathrooms.

We have returned to this unit in the Kahili for over 30 years. The view is incomparable. The south shore never fails to please. This is our home away from home. This is not just a base to see the island. This is the reason we go, to stay in this unit.

The apartment was clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. It's on the 5th floor (there's an elevator) and it's on the ocean corner of the apartment building. Awesome views!

This is an amazing condo with a lovely location in Poipu. The kitchen had plenty of amenities. Quiet and relaxing condo property. We enjoyed sleeping to the sounds of waves with all windows & doors open for fresh air. The trade winds helped cool the condo which has no A/C. The property manager & Kauai Vacation Rentals were available for questions. Mahalo

501 offers a breathtaking view along with swaying palm trees and the sound and sights of crashing waves right below our Lana'i. The decor and amenities were lovely. The kitchen offered nice dishes and cooking ware. My 2 adult daughters & I have stayed at Sunset Kahili before and love the location. Kauai Vacation Rentals were great to work with.

I’m afraid to write too many nice things about this condo and then it won’t be affordable next time I visit Kauai. But the location is spectacular. The condo is clean and decorated so nicely. The complex is quiet and clean. I’ll only ever want to stay here every trip to Kauai.

We do love coming back to 501. The view is wonderful. We were disappointed that new ownership did not replace the screen doors. The tv stand is too bulky for the room. Shutters would have been a nice improvement.With such a large increase in rent, we would have expected new furniture. We still love the Kahili & 501, & will return again, but maybe not stay as long.
