Perfectly situated and well furnished and equipped unit. Unobstructed ocean views and close to everything. Beach chairs are great and snorkel gear for great snorkeling right outside the door off the little beach just a few paces away along the paved walkway in front of the Beach House restaurant next door. We were two couples (my husband and I, and our adult daughter and her boyfriend) and there was room enough for us all to feel comfortable, especially with the lanai. Yes, surfers come down and stage off the lawn out back but that's part of the show- watching the surfers is mesmerizing. At our age, we appreciated the comfortable beds. Would definitely rent this unit again.
This is an amazing place to stay l! The location is optimal. We would definitely recommend this place.
Great location, cozy place with an incredible view! Love being on bottom floor and being able to just walk outside. Would stay again!
This was our second time staying at Kuhio Shores and our first time in this ground floor unit. The experience is the best of the island - hands down! We loved the immediate access to the waves and the grounds from our patio and the proximity of everything in Poipu. The condo is spacious and you can't beat the sound of waves crashing at night from your window. Parking and laundry access at the complex make this a great, clean and accessible spot for families. It's a 10/10 stay and we can't wait to come back.
Beautiful suite and view. 2 adult family members had to use air mattress that wouldn't hold ait. Contacts were made several times with guaranteed replacement would be deliveredhold airfine
We had a wonderful time in this end unit. The grass provided us with seating and views every late afternoon. Have the Athletic Club available was a big plus for our family. Thanks,
Stayed Dec 19-24th. Fantastic location easy walk to cafes, stores and snorkeling beaches. 5 minute drive to BEST swimming beach (Kiahuna... which is quieter and less hectic than Poipu beach). Condo layout maximizes views of the ocean. Yes, there are people walking in front of the unit but we did not find it irritating but rather enjoyed seeing the surfers come and go. Quiet at night even with the (most amazing Beach House) restaurant literally next door (ate their twice). Beds are comfortable if a little soft (we prefer firmer mattresses). Extremely clean with updated bathrooms and kitchen well stocked with needed supplies including spices and cooking oils. Would defintely stay again at this unit.
Beautiful place to stay! Right on the water, very clean, great location. Condo has everything you need for a great stay.

We have stayed in KS-119 8 times and have never been disappointed. The condo is always clean and inviting and the kitchen is well appointed. The location is probably one of the best on the Island, with the spectacular views of the ocean and beautiful sunsets. The ocean is just steps from the lanai. We never want to stay anywhere else.
Great location and amenities. Very clean and well appointed. We would highly recommend
I chose this spot because of it’s location to the surf break. It’s directly in front of it, which is what my husband wanted as a convenience during our honeymoon. It was the only swell on the island at the time so he was able to surf daily.
For us, it fit our honeymoon standards, but if you want privacy this may not be the best fit. Many people sit on the lawn directly in front of the condo to watch the sunset or surfers. Often times we returned home to find people sitting on our patio furniture.
It really is a great property in every other aspect though. I recommend to those who are looking to be right in front of the waves and interested in meeting locals and other tourists!
25 feet of grass between the patio and shoreline. Locals hang out at and sometimes on the patio to surf. They were really nice and fun to watch. Good snorkeling beach next to the property and plenty of gear in the unit. The sun sets over land in June, so the sunset parties were kinda tame. The unit is comfortable, up to date with good, quiet AC. The $25 pool / gym is a 5 min drive. It was nice but I didn't need it. The wedding was fun, had a quick dance with the bride. They took the tent down! Tent didn't bother me but nicer view out that window without. Would stay there again. Mahalo.

This is about the 7th time we've had the pleasure of staying at Poipu 119. It is our favorite place to be and we always look forward to returning. The condo is well equipped and the location couldn't be better. We love watching the surfers, the beautiful sunsets and the amazing sea turtles. We will return.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had concerns initially as bed linens on one bed had lots of black particulate matter throughout. I was able to reach Vicki who reached out to the housekeeper to change the sheets. Vicki was somewhat dismissive of my concerns stating that it was only brown lint from the dryer. She said my concerns were “interesting”. The housekeeper Malina was very responsive and understanding. Once this issue was resolved we had a wonderful time. The location offers spectacular sunrise and sunset views.
Clean, great location, awesome views and sunsets
This condo worked great for our family of 4! Great sunsets and location. We loved being able to walk right out onto the lawn off the lanai. Even with the Beach House restaurant next door, it was quiet. We really appreciated having a boogie board and the 3 beach chairs. Kitchen was well-appointed (there are now enough coffee filters to last years lol). We will be back!

This is our 4th time staying here. As before, we had a great time. I think this is the best location in the complex. It has a great view that attracts many people at sunset. Also great to watch sea life and surfing. Will be back next year.

We have stayed in Kuhio Shores #119 about 6 times and keep going back. It has the most fantastic view of the ocean and the beautiful sunsets each evening. We will definitely return next year.

We have been coming to Kauai for forty years and have enjoyed both the Grand Hyatt and other condos, but this view is unbeatable. The unit is in excellent shape with lovely appointments. Thanks to large windows and mirrors, we could enjoy the views from every angle. We also enjoyed walking to Spouting Horn, Kukui'ula Village, and Poipu Beach. And anytime
we felt like snorkeling, we just walked a few steps to Lawai Beach. Whenever we ventured out, we were delighted to return to our lanai and embrace the views. We made sure we were home to watch sunsets and loved watching both turtles and surfers. In the past, we always loved going to the Beach House, but with this view, I recommend you bring your own fixings for MaiTais!
Some reviewers complained about weddings next door. Over the weekend, there was one wedding and a number of people milling about to watch the sunset. We never found the activity unpleasant. In fact, we found joy in watching so many people sharing the ocean whether they were locals fishing or a young couple getting married. If you need privacy, the cleverly designed window coverings, sliding doors, and AC will allow it.

This was our third stay in the condo, the sunsets never get old, and it’s a perfect location to reach all our activities on the island. Already looking forward to booking our next trip!
Great location, great sunsets and all the amenities you could ask for!
Our family of four stayed at this amazing condo for two weeks and had the most incredible family vacation. First time to Hawaii for our girls, ages 10 to 13 - they were blown away! It was our third time to Kuhio Shores but first to #119 ... we'll be back!

We absolutely loved this condo. It is a corner unit with an amazing view of the water. It was stocked with everything you need for the beach. The snorkeling at this location was spectacular. We had a wonderful time and this condo was the perfect place to stay.
The unit itself was beautiful and very clean. It was only my husband and myself so only one bedroom was needed, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed watching the surfers. The tent at the restaurant was up the entire stay, so views were obstructed. There is also a lack of privacy due to it being an end unit, with locals walking past the windows throughout the day and evenings. The locals also spend days (setting up beach chairs and blankets during the day) on the lawn only feet from, and directly in front of the patio and others show up in the evening with chairs , or to stand to watch the sunset. I reserved this corner unit for the views and was disappointed the lawn area is so heavily used by others. For that reason I took 1 star away. However, the unit itself was immaculate and very comfortable with great air conditioning and ceiling fans.

This property is located in an ideal spot that showcases the daily surfing that takes place right in front of the unit. We enjoyed the ability to never have to leave our unit to snorkel at the beach in front of Snorkel Bob's. We loved seeing a wedding at the Beachhouse right next door- although the tent remained up our entire stay so the west-facing views aren't quite what the photos of the unit are currently. The unit was meticulously clean. The management company was responsive to any questions. We would stay there again.

Great location and property, however I took away a star due to the lack of privacy. Yes I was aware it was a gathering spot for residents at sunset. Yes I was aware the Beach House Restaurant held weddings. What I was not aware of is all the NON residents that use the property in front of this unit. This side of the property is not posted for residents only. The lawn area in this photo is heavily used by locals. The view to the west of the unit is blocked by a canopy for weddings. Defeated the purpose of reserving a corner unit. I would definitely stay at Kuhio Shores again, but not this unit.
Perfect location for my family. Right next to an amazing surf and snorkel beach.
