Overall had a great stay @ Kuhio Shores 418. Setting was beautiful right on the ocean, sunsets were spectacular, apartment was quite comfortable. Setup was functional, kitchen was more than adequate, would have been nice to have a few more spices and condiments. Lanai was great, the views at sunset from the front room was to die for.
The provided beach equipment was nice to have, 2 beaches within easy walking distance. Word of advice: snorkeling goggles will need to be rented or brought with.
The only improvement would be to get rid of the louvered doors. The noise travelled throughout the apartment, especially at night.
Also, the damn Kauai roosters crow all day, all night.
Overall, a very nice stay in a beautiful setting!

Kuhio Shores 418 is such an excellent unit for the perfect Poipu stay. We spent most of our time with the sliding glass door and the windows wide open for the most wonderful fresh island breezes and ocean wave sounds. The unit is well maintained and appointed with everything needed: more than enough towels, great beach gear and coolers, and everything needed to cook. The beds are comfy, the wifi works great, and the views all day are spectacular. Was concerned the restaurant would be noisy but it really wasn't. The AC and fans in the bedrooms and living room made the space extra comfortable for sleeping. Most condos in Hawai’i are not as clean or well cared for as this unit. You cannot beat the ocean front location and view of Kuhio Shores 418, plus it is a 3-5 minute drive from everything you could want in Koloa and Poipu. The management company dropped off the parking pass the next day so we didn’t even need to do a check in at the building. Top to bottom a great experience. We cannot wait to get back to Kuhio Shores 418.

We have stayed at KS418 many times and love it. Check in / out couldn't be easier. Had minor smoke alarm failure; it was repaired promptly. I have one minor issue; there are new push button switches for lights and fans that are not intuitive - takes some groping plus trial and error to sort them out. I favor old-school toggle switches - simple and intuitive. But this is a minor hassle - probably intended to improve convenience. Clean - yes! I went over the place with a UV light before we moved in and found nothing. The place always seems clean; this time I can confirm it.

When we booked it was the view that hooked us.. and then we discovered so much more!
We came to Kauai to enjoy a different type of Hawaii vibe. The first night we wandered into the restaurant next door.. little did we know it was such a hot spot .. we cheered with the crowd as we toasted the green flash ! Morning coffee on the Lanai and watching whales in the distance. We kayaked the with Wailua river with Kauai Kayak and came home to a cool and comfortable spot to watch the sunset on another awesome day. We laughed when our snorkel tour led us to the place right next door that we had checked out the day before. Thanks to Kauai Z-Tourz for putting names to the fishy faces and showing all the best spots.
Lawa’i Beach is a great place in the January surf! Check out Eden Coffee right down the street. What a wonderful home base for a comfy bed and a hot shower. Thank you!

Kuhio Shores # 418Stay Dec 8-21, 2023We will be back! This is the best unit we’ve found at Kuhio Shores! Several advantages: The bedroom windows are on the outside of the building Not opening to the exterior walkway – more secure and better breezes. The furniture is comfortable and not overly nice/fussy, so we could feel at home. The condo itself is in great condition, nothing broken or needing to be refreshed, AND very clean. That doesn’t even begin to cover the view! Stunning!Many thanks to property managers, Vicki and Cher Lani at Poipu365. Any (small) issues we mentioned were resolved the same day I texted! Vicki even came by just after we checked in to deliver our welcome package. Really appreciated Cher Lani’s patience with all my questions before booking.

Absolutely stunning location with gorgeous views in every direction. The perfect spot on the South Side - close to all the beaches, shopping and dining. When you walk in there's so much water you feel like you're on a cruise ship! My family of five loved our stay.

Amazing views of the water and a spacious and well laid-out condo. Great snorkeling just steps away and quick access to Longs, ice cream, Poipu and Brenecke Beaches. Many amenities in this well-stocked unit. The living room and kitchen floors had highly-visible amounts of food (bread crumbs?) on the tile and the area-rugs, and we found garbage under the couch (we had to move it to place a blow up bed). The lanai needed a thorough sweeping and the kitchen table looked like it had been wiped with something greasy (no glass cleaner anywhere in the house to clean it with), toaster was dirty. Towels were lacking for a party of 5, and one blow-up mattress lacked a pump and was un-useable. I left a message about that but never heard back. The water was undrinkable, even for making coffee, and it would be a nice gesture to get a Brita filter or something for renters to not have to purchase loads of bottled water. A lovely stay overall, but not for the December pricing. We also rented a very similar unit in Poipu Shores (unit 303A) that was gorgeous (more up to date), extremely clean and half the cost for the exact same dates.

The condo was a dream. Air conditioning was great to have and much needed in August! The views on 2 walls were unbelievable, the pictures don’t do it justice!! The location is perfect for sunset watching!
