Great location for seeing the sights but the unit gets very hot. We tried everything to keep it cool. Thank goodness for the AC in the bedroom that’s where we stayed most of the time. The unit itself is dated but functional.
Condo dated - needs maintenance for safety issues like tub/shower grab bars (tub is large soaking type tub and difficult to step into); no smoke alarm in bedroom, A/C vent needs to be more secure in window opening or it comes loose and hot A/C exhaust blows into room; needs cleaning of bathroom vents, needs cleaning A/C filters BADLY ! Tub is slippery and no rubber mat provided; tub/toilet room light fixture does not appear to be working correctly - takes a long time to turn on and blinks repeatedly before steady light; toilet is not stable and rocks when sat upon; toilet lid is broken or needs tightening on right hinge; bath towels are small and flimsy; Unit does not really get breeze and gets very hot inside-A/C does not really cool bedroom during night. Location good; pool good; appliances work okay; note: extra charge for laundering more than 1 set towels per person!
The location’s great and the unit is spacious. However, it was SO hot, that it was impossible to enjoy it. We were supposed to cook our meals, but didn’t want to spend the time there. It says AC in the headline & the amenities list, but it’s only a small portable AC in the bedroom (with the heat coming back from the window). It actually says this on the text paragraph, I guess it’s my fault that I didn’t pay enough attention and trusted the headline/amenities list. It was so hot that we would have moved at our own cost but nothing was really available in Poipu area. Stayed at the end of July.

Since our last stay, there have been several upgrades which made our stay even better this time. A new stove that worked lots better, new beach chairs and an umbrella that we used almost every day, and, best of all, AC in the bedroom. The AC served two purposes...cooling the room and drowning out the noise from the nearby road. The best part of this condo remains the location and the views from the balcony. We looked at other places, but it always comes back to the views! Communication with management was good, the place was clean, and we would definitely stay again.
Everything was nice...however, the AC was not for the entire unit Just the bedroom), and the bedroom AC unit was not exhausting the hot air outside, rather the hot air was going into the room and making it hotter! It was close 90 degrees in there when we arrived at 7:45 PM. We fixed it so it sent the hot air outside, but this was not something we should have had to do.Unit was nice, though dated, but was in a great locatiion!
The location is well located for exploring and easy to get in and out of, an important factor during busy times. It’s close the pool and an easy walk to Kalapaki Joe’s. The downside is the pool can get noisy in the evening until it closes at 10pm and the south facing lanai can get pretty hot during the day. All that said, after the sun goes down and the pool empties, it’s a real delight with a great view.
Best part about unit is the location.
Great place, however unable to access local news or weather cable not work. We did contact the front desk, but nothing was ever done. Room needs a wine opener.
Great location and communication

Our stay was wonderful. I love the Poipu Kai property. It was beautifully kept. Our room had a fantastic view and was a quick step to the pool, but the location was not ideal otherwise…close to main road and trash bins so kinda noisy. The room itself needs a complete clean of drapes and rugs and pillows. Also, the lanai furniture is pretty blah. Towels and linens need freshening as they are quite threadbare. The room is very dated in style and decor but functional. I would stay at Poipu Kai again but I would choose a room with a king bed (personal comfort) and further in from road.
Fabulous location! Walk to beach and restaurants. Condo is very spacious and the view is beautiful. The condo itself is in need of some maintenance and a few things are broken and nonfunctional . Regardless of the need for updating and checking to make sure everything is in working order we had a fantastic time and recommend this location

It was really great. It was so nice to have a little pamphlet to let us know what to do or where to go, as well as just items that needed to be done towards the end. Communication was amazing. In the perfect area to get to just about anything that we needed which was so nice.

The condo is great. A good location with an ocean view from the lanai. It’s a little outdated but I didn’t spend that much time inside so it was fine for me. The pool area is nice and very clean.

Fantastic location, nice view, close to the beach. A little noisy at times due to unit’s proximity to the pool and tennis courts, but being close to the pool was convenient, and, most importantly, it was quiet between 9 pm and 8 am. Unit could use some updating (kitchen & bathroom appliances & fixtures), but it was clean and comfortable. We would definitely return!

This property is in the perfect location for everything you want or need in the Poipu area. It's in the middle of Poipu Kai Resort, so easy walking distance to Shipwreck Beach all the way to Marriott Beach. The condo itself is very comfortable and well furnished with everything we needed to have a wonderful stay. And the views!! We sat on our lanai every morning and most evenings just enjoying the view. No a/c but we never missed it, because the breezes blow through for great sleeping! Everything was neat and clean, including the pool area. We enjoyed most nights in the hot tub located right below the condo. We will be back!!

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The condo was comfortable and nicely equipped, and has a very good ocean view. Plus, you can't beat the convenience of walking down to the beach, restaurants, and various coffee shops. I'd definitely stay here again.
This condo was exactly as listed. I enjoyed my stay very much.
Really enjoyed my time at this residence. 5 min walk to beach, with amazing ocean view from back patio. This was a great stay that I recommend for any other travelers to Poipu.
