Watch frolicking sea turtles, marvel at spectacular sunrises, enjoy whale watching (in season), and relax under starry night skies from the shaded, breezy comfort of the lanai at this charming, third-floor, oceanfront Kuhio Shores condo.
***** We invite you to enjoy our 5-Star condo*****. We have dozens of 5-Star reviews with our former vrbo listing but when we changed to a new premier host property manager and vrbo listing, our 5-Star reviews did not transfer. We have, however, included a number of the reviews in our photos section so potential guests can better evaluate our property.
The condo features an airy open floor plan with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that afford you both ocean and mountain views. Open the lanai doors to allow the comfortable Hawaiian trade winds and the sounds of gently breaking waves to float through the condo or close the lanai doors and enjoy the comfort of AC provided by two mini-split AC units, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The living room features a 50” Samsung flatscreen smart TV with cable and Amazon 4K Fire TV stick, a glider swivel rocker, and a bluetooth stereo bar. The condo has high speed wi-fi and an electronic charging station for laptops and cell phones.
Kitchen: The fully stocked and equipped kitchen provides a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, a wonderful cooking area, should you decide to dine in. The dining table for four is situated so that you get marvelous views of the ocean and Hoai Bay. As an alternative you can enjoy a cozy dinner for two on the wicker table on the lanai.
Sleeping Areas: The condo provides sleeping arrangements for either a couple or a small family. The bedroom has a Cal King Tempur-Pedic mattress, and the living room has a comfortable queen-size memory foam sleeper.
Bathroom: The fully remodeled bathroom is bigger than most bathrooms and provides a walk in shower and plenty of places to hang and store your gear.
Flooring: The flooring is completely tile so you don’t have to worry if you spill something and it is easy to manage should you track in sand or water, a common occurrence in Hawaii!
Kuhio Shores Amenities: The condo building has two elevators and carts for getting your baggage to your room, washer/dryer units on each floor with coin changing machine, and a barbecue area should you decide you wish to grill. You can enjoy amazing sunsets from the lawn immediately in front of the condo building. A parking pass in the condo at the time of check-in will provide you parking for one car in the condo’s parking lot.
Activities: Some of the best snorkeling on the island can be found just steps from the condo at Lawai Beach, which also provides a small beach that is perfect for youngsters. Across the street you can enjoy Prince Kuhio Park and a 10 minute walk brings you to the Kukui’ula Shopping Center where you can wander among its many restaurants, shops, galleries, and weekly Wednesday farmers market. Short drives of less than 5 minutes will bring you to lush native plants and a charming waterfall at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, a stunning waterspout at the Spouting Horn and a calm, protected beach at Kukui‘ula Harbor. Kukui‘ula Harbor is also a common starting point for commercial tours featuring whale-watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, and other ocean-based activities. Since many of these tours start early in the morning, it is ...

The condo was clean and had an amazing view of the ocean. You could hear the waves crashing against the rocks and watch the sea turtles! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. The host was very responsive even prior to us getting there. We would definitely stay there again! What a wonderful and relaxing trip!

Condo was great. Beautiful view. Rainbows and turtles to see from lanai (balcony). The unit had everything we needed, including beach chairs. Well stocked kitchen and bath. Comfortable bed. We only used the AC one afternoon when we came back to nap. Otherwise, the breezes through the unit made it quite comfortable and you can hear the ocean waves better that way!

I’ll cover the good first. The view was great; the balcony overlooked a very small bay as pictured. Sunrises were beautiful! The condo was adequate; the bed and sofa were comfortable, the bathroom and shower were clean, and the kitchen was nicely equipped. The neighborhood is convenient to restaurants and markets. However, the complex is very old and tired. The BBQ is in the parking lot next to the garbage. The washer/dryer is not in the condo, but is communal downstairs, and is expensive and there is no change machine.

This is a lovely condo that is well furnished. The location is wonderful. We spent many hours sitting on the lanai watching the sea turtles. It was a very quiet complex also.

The condo had a spectacular view, was fortunate enough to watch sea turtles feed off the rocks below.
It was very clean and comfortable bed and furnishings.
We were next to a nice restaurant and Lawai beach which was great for snorkeling.
Would stay there again !

The condo is beautiful. The views are incredible. We watched the turtles feom a balcony. The sound of the surf was a great way to wind down after a day full of excursions. It's 30 minutes from pretty much every where you want to go on the island. We would stay here again!

The view from this ocean side condo was breathtaking and my daughter and I enjoyed our five-day stay. It was well equipped and we enjoyed our morning breakfasts on the lanai overlooking the ocean where we spotted a couple of whales too. Highly recommend staying here.
