Property Description
Kuhio Shores 416
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. '
Watch the beautiful Pacific Ocean, surfers, dolphins, turtles, and whales (in season) from this very popular top-floor condo! It's no secret as to why this stunning one-bedroom oceanfront condo, just steps away from Lawai Beach, is one of the most popular at Kuhio Shores.
Step inside and watch your loved one’s eyes light up as you are greeted by jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean, perfectly framed by a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. With convenient amenities like a building elevator, a 32” cable flatscreen TV with DVD player, wireless Internet, and an iPod dock for setting the mood, you can kick back and let this romantic escape revitalize your spirit.
Open the windows, cuddle up on the couch, and plan your “Garden Isle” adventures in the spacious living room while ceiling fans and a tropical breeze set you at ease or switch on the A/C to cool you down even more. Cook alongside a sea of blue in the newly updated, open-concept kitchen, complete with granite countertops and an eat-in bar. Enjoy romantic dinners at the dining table while watching surfers catch a wave, or, depending on the season, keep a lookout for Humpback whales while dining alfresco on your private lanai.
A plush bedroom sleeps two in ultimate comfort. After a restorative night’s sleep, wake up to the soothing sound of crashing waves to start off a fun-filled day exploring the island.
Modern amenities make your stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Bluetooth stereos and Smart TVs offer the latest in entertainment, and our electronic charging stations mean your group will never have to fight over outlets. Plus, you'll enjoy easy check-in and added security from our keyless Point Central Lock system.

The listing photos are deceptive and don’t represent the sad condition of much of the old, decrepit furniture, the stretched and bunched-up wall-to-wall carpet, or the refrigerator with many rust and abrasion stains on the outside. The metal grated balcony table and uncomfortable chairs are rusted, with no towels or pads available. The ugly bare concrete floor is badly patched and discolored.The living room ottoman is completely caved in and broken. The glass coffee table is dangerous and sports several chips in the corners, at least one of which is where a previous guest reported here that he gashed himself. Out of self defense, we placed magazines on all four corners to avoid the same fate.The sliding slatted doors of the hall closet are crooked and unsightly. Both cheap bedroom side tables are badly scratched and damaged. There is no colorful bedspread as shown in the listing photos, and the bedroom ceiling fan light is missing bulbs, making the room quite dark.We were shocked by the lack of upkeep of this condo, especially given the nightly price. With its top-floor location and view, it’s obvious that the owner is milking it for every penny and is unconcerned with quality, style, or guest comfort. It’s such a privilege to own something on this precious edge of Kaua’i, and for guests like us to have the wherewithal to rent it. I hope that after seeing the photos that we’ll submit to Vacasa, the owner will be inspired to do better for their next visitors.

The view of the ocean was the best part of this condo. However, this location needs a makeover. The furniture is old and dated so it needs to be replaced except for the bed which was comfortable. The TV is too small to view for the distance from the couch. The outdoor patio furniture was dirty and uncomfortable with no cushions. The carpet needs to be replaced and shower door is off the channel. An investment needs to be put into this location to update it and make it functional. For the most part, it was clean. However, the cleaning crew did not open the screen window as we discovered a mound of dead insects in the window sill and had to kill 2 cockroaches during our stay. We also discovered bugs coming out of the kitchen sink drain during the day. This is not a contemporary place to stay.

One elevator for the entire facility and this room is on the 4th floor. Minor repairs needed. Doors, window shades, etc. But they currently have a cockroach problem in the kitchen and throughout the apartment that I sincerely hope they address. They did not seem too concerned but we didnt want to leave our things on the floor or on the counters.

The view from the balcony is spectacular! You can see turtles throughout the day. This is a great location. Highly recommend!

Amazing views! We spent hours watching the surfers and turtles. Good location with lots of restaurants near by. The king size bed was comfortable and the a/c was needed and appreciated. The kitchen was well enough stocked for the bit of eating we did at home. The bathroom was nicely renovated. On the downside, the living room furniture was a bit worn and most disappointing was the furniture in the lanai where we spent some time. Please add a bar height table to be able to see over the railing and some comfortable chairs!

We loved the location and views from the balcony where we watched the sea turtles play all day in the waves

This unit has a fantastic view and is in a great location. Being on the top floor is great, and the kitchen has most necessities. Some small storage containers would be nice.
The lanai furniture is rusty. The large ottoman is definitely broken, as was reviewed previously. I fell hard into the center, as the springs are shot! The response to the other person was that a manager looked at it and it was fine - the manager needs to sit on it.
The outdated metal, small, unadjustable sand chairs should be replaced with the more current Tommy Bahamas like almost all other places have, they were very uncomfortable. The lanai screen door is broken, Vacasa knows about this but it won't be fixed until August, which didn't help us during our April stay. The dishwasher was broken, we were informed about this before our arrival. We were compensated for that. There was a lot of contact with Vacasa regarding 3 issues, and I received some calls from them from private numbers. That left us feeling uneasy. Each call included requests to have service people enter if we weren't there, which we agreed to. There was no follow-up contact as to whether they actually came out and fixed anything, except for the nice technician who came out for the AC the 1st morning while we were there.The lack of clear communication from Vacasa, and amongst their employees left us feeling uncomfortable during our stay. We never knew if someone had entered while we were out or not, as nothing had changed.

The location is amazing and conveniently located. When we walked into the unit we could immediately hear the waves crashing. Each morning and evening we enjoyed the views from lanai.
The unit was a good size for 2 people, but some of the furniture was “tired” and uncomfortable. It also would have been nice if the bedroom had a small tv for the option to wind down and relax in the bedroom.

Had a good trip and the unit was spacious and clean. Would have like the A/C to work as it got stuffy.

Loved the location and ocean sounds. Biggest complaint, A/C didn’t work & it’s only in the bedroom, not the living area. Your property description said AC, miss representation.
