Beautiful oceanfront location. Unit provides dish soap and toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Don't expect anything in the kitchen to help prepare a meal,

This was our 3rd time staying at this condo. We love the location, the resort, the pool. The neighborhood is very walkable. The view is so beautiful. You can’t get any closer to the ocean. We enjoyed watching the whales, sea turtles and beautiful sunsets. The management is very personable and accessible. Hope to be back soon.
We loved this condo. Clean, beautiful, perfectly located. Amazing view of the waves and sun and even turtles swimming below. Check in process smooth. Everything was really wonderful. Want to come back soon!
We’ve stayed ocean front many times but never this close. Poipu Sands is literally on the ocean. Saw whales and turtles from the window and spent every day watching sun rise and set. Breathtaking! Just a few minutes walk to several of the best beaches and pool was amazing right on the water! Photos don’t do this listing justice. Only negative (if there is one) is unit is not air conditioned (which is common in Kauai) so did get warm even with fans. Waves breaking are really loud at night. If you are a light sleeper, it was like sleeping with windows open during a heavy thunderstorm. We came for the ocean so this unit exceeded expectations. Unit was clean and property manager was very communicative. We kept pinching ourselves with how lucky we were to have found. Hope to be back!
We stayed in this unit for one week in February of 2024. We have stayed in other units in this building several times before and in comparison we were sadly disappointed in this one. This unit is priced lower than the others likely for 2 reasons.
First it has no air conditioning which at many times of the year wouldn’t seem to be a problem. However this means the windows need to be open all the time which creates condensation literally dripping down all the mirrored walls and windows. Also, while I LOVE the sound of the ocean, the crashing on the rocks right outside the bedroom is better when it can be dampened a bit by closing the windows and using AC at night.
The second reason it is likely priced lower is it is very old, outdated, and worn out. We had to struggle opening and closing most doors, screens, windows, cabinets and drawers. Towel racks loose. Utensil cheap, wine glasses dirty and mineral coated. Washer smelled of mildew.
In short this place is in need of not just new photos, but more love and attention.
We still LOVE the location. But next time we will spend a little more and choose another unit.
This two bedroom property is conveniently located in Poipu Shores which is a short walk to Poipu Beach in one direction to see the turtles come to shore every night and Shipwreck beach in the other direction to hike the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail. If you like the sound of waves crashing into the rocky shore, it doesn't get much better than this condo.
We gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the bathroom tub was dirty. Also, we discovered, after a few cold showers, the hot water heater was set on vacation mode. Our friends would have liked some room darkening curtains in the spare bedroom. We loved sitting on the patio and had a fabulous time!! Thank you!
The pics do not do this property justice. Although some of the items are a bit dated, the property itself is in good condition and has been well taken care of. The ocean odds quite literally right outside the window. If you love the sound of crashing waves you will thoroughly enjoy this property. It can be loud…but we loved it. At times it did hamper our sleep but at the end of the day we were more than happy to deal with the noise and found it calming. Honestly…update the pics, this is a Diamond in the rough.
It was a lovely condo in a fantastic location. Two bedrooms, a great little deck overlooking the crashing waves and the sunset. Nice pool area too. Perfect for two couples -we loved it!

We love this property. This is the third time we stayed at this property, second in this condo. The views are breathtaking, sunsets gorgeous. The property is very well kept. The pool is great. Hope to be back again.
