This condo was at least as good as advertised. The ocean view was beyond amazing. We saw sea turtles every day while we ate breakfast on the balcony.We plan to come back to Kauai someday and when we do, we hope to stay here again. The location of this condo was perfect! My wife fell in love with this condo.Finally, the owners were very responsive to all of our messages and they were very friendly.
We had a great time in this condo. Everyday when we woke up, we would eat breakfast on the balcony and watch turtles swimming! They were pretty cute. Great access to nearby beaches and the pool. Appreciated the beach towels, boogie board and chairs. AC was very helpful. Great access to Netflix and Disney Plus for after the sun went down. Loved it! Highly recommend
Check in/out was easy and owner communicated with us before arrival which was appreciated. Location was great. If you are looking to rent, just know that the condo is old and furnishings tired/worn. Not a great value for the money paid.
I love Poipu Shores! This unit has a corner view over the ocean filled with turtles and sea birds. A lovely place
This property is so amazing. Wild to say but the pictures don’t even do it justice. Great little neighborhood with easy beach access / dining within a half mile or so. Plenty of turtles and saw some Rays out in the water too!
The inside was a bit tight but the lanai and the view made up for it! Turtles upon turtles just swimming right below! Could have sat and watched all day!
Amazing property!!! The views off the balcony can’t be beat. You can see sea turtles all day. The location of this property is great. Minutes from the beach, shopping, and restaurants. We loved Poipu beach and see the turtles and monk seals. Communication was awesome with the owner and check in and check out was seamless. Great property!
Wonderful stay and view. The lack of beach is made up by a great pool area. Loved watching the turtles frolicking just below the condo
The views are incomparable. However, while described as "not a luxury stay", the unit is priced higher than similar units we saw at the complex with updated furnishings and a higher cleaning standard. The mattress was extremely uncomfortable and needs replaced. Kitchen appliances and tools for food prep are in need of updating and refreshing. The owner's communication was excellent and it's clear she is a very responsible host.
So many great restaurants in the area! It was so easy to get to all the attractions from this property.
Great location on top of the ocean and turtles. Nice relaxing pool and easy access to Poipu Beach. AC was great addition after a day in the sun and surf. Well appointed kitchen and gas grill right outside made it easy to cook our own dinners. In-unit laundry also made our packing list very small.
Phenomenal location and sweeping views. We saw turtles, whales and dolphins from the beautiful lanai. Comfortable bed, clean and well appointed. Lots to do! Walking distance to restaurants. Short drive to local beaches to see the turtles rest. Nothing like returning from the beach to more ocean views! Book your stay here!
My husband & I have stayed at many VRBOs across the country. Melodee’s place was exactly as described. It’s so nice to have an owner that will answer emails & questions immediately! As everyone has said, the views are amazing. Watching the turtles up close and the whales in the distance was a fantastic way to spend free time. (Melodee even has binoculars for you to use)Another added bonus was all of the beach gear she provided. Chairs, umbrella, beach towels & a cooler with ice packs made beach going so much easier. The furniture could use some updating, but everything else was perfect!
It doesn’t get any closer to the ocean. Roaring surf, abundant sea life, beautiful sunsets and ready access to beaches. The unit is small, well-appointed and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked with the necessary tools to cook a meal. A washer and dryer made our stay and our return home much easier. We booked another week for next year. ‘Nut said!
I have stayed at several other condos in this complex in the past. This one is really special. The ground level access is super easy from the parking lot, which was handy with my parents recently entering their '80s.Once you walk in, the view immediately hits you, and it is SPECTACULAR. It is nothing but ocean in front of you. You hear it at the same moment you see it, and the steady crashing of waves against the rocks is perhaps my favorite thing about Kauai. We saw numerous humpback whales, sea turtles and even a monk seal in the water right in front of the Lanai. On clear days, we could not look out at the ocean for one minute without seeing sea life. Amazing. What a blessing to be able to experience a stay at this place.It was walking distance to Brennecke's, even for my 80-year-old mom with a 2-month-old new knee. Granted, she is no standard octogenarian lol. We were easily able to explore Hanapepe, the Waimea Canyon, Napali Coast, and more from this location.To top it all off, the hosts were incredible. Communication from start to finish was simple and direct, and I never felt like there was any chance that anything was being missed. It is clear that they know what they're doing, and this is a professionally run property with an unbeatable location and view. I recommended it to a couple that sat next to me on the plane on the way back to Oregon. I have little doubt they will be booking it. Thank you Melodee and Mike for an unforgettable week in Hawaii.
10 year anniversary trip, winter get away
Condo was cozy. Good location, pretty view. Loved that we could open the windows at night and hear the ocean from the bedroom.
It would be nice to have towel racks in the bathroom, no place to hold towels to dry. Bathrooms are small, no counter space for personal items.
Wonderful property very cozy and exactly as described. You can get any closer to the ocean without a swimsuit.
We were very happy with the condo. It wasn't as large or updated as some we've stayed in but it was very comfortable. The location was amazing and we will stay there again for that reason. You're practically right over the water and can hear the waves crashing even with the windows closed. Being able to see sea turtles all the time was amazing and I saw dolphins a couple times. Having the pool right over the rocks and waves was an added bonus. Melodee and Michael were great about communication! We will definitely go back!
Great location views and turtles as promised!
We really enjoyed drinking coffee on the lenai and watching the sea turtles. It is a beautiful condo with a convenient walk to the local beach.
Cozy, clean, well stocked, walking distance to beach (where the turtles hang out) made our stay so enjoyable!
Melodee, the host is super nice!
Thank you!!!!
The views, the turtles, the pool, and excellent location. Apartment was very well stocked. Bed was very comfortable and the cherry on top was the bidet in both bathrooms! W
We loved our stay here. The view from the balcony is amazing. Turtles every day all day right outside the door. The pool is very nice and clean. Poipu beach is truly within walking distance of the condo.
The condo has adequate supplies for cooking for a family of 4. We also enjoyed the bbq. The condo was very clean when we arrived and appears well taken care of by the owners.
We would rent here again, no questions asked.
Clean property at a great location. Relaxing sitting out watching the sea turtles do their thing as the waves crash into the shore.
When looking at pictures on-line it is easy to wonder if you are seeing an accurate representation of the property. Here, the pictures do not do it justice. The view from the balcony is simply gorgeous. The condo is located in the heart of Poipu and provides easy access to anywhere you want to go on Kauai. We had a wonderful experience.
We really enjoyed this place. Description is accurate. The location and views are phenomenal. You can walk to Brenneck’s beach and Poipu beach see turtles emerging from the sea to rest on the beach at sunset and monk seals resting on the shore. Quick drive to Kaloa for funky eats and shops and even closer to a couple of market places with restaurants and shops. Sitting on the deck at the place and watching an abundance of turtles swimming around is so cool. Host was very responsive and was even able to accommodate a late checkout which was much appreciated! Highly recommend!
The location and property were all we could hope for.
