Good location
Positives: 1. The rental process was organized and seamless. 2. Good communication from the property managers. 3. Older unit but well maintained and clean. Very spacious. 4. Great location in Poipu. The only complaint I have is the "oceanfront view" is now mostly a construction view. Would not get this property for the view, but otherwise, was a great rental. Thanks for hosting us!

Great Location and Views
This is an older condo that has been well-maintained and has most everything you'll need for your stay - towels, beach chairs, snorkels, kitchen utensils and supplies. Only thing missing was a coffee grinder. The condo is located next to a beach trail that takes you in front of the Grand Hyatt and connects to the Mahalepu Beach Trail, which we walked almost daily. These are truly stunning beach cliffs. It's also walking distance to Brenneke's Beach and Brenneke's Restaurant with open windows looking out over the ocean. This was our first stay on the South shore and we truly enjoyed it. There are also many other good restaurants in the area. We were saddened that after we booked, they started building multi-million $ luxury homes on the land in front of our row of condos. There will still be an ocean view, just not as pristine and uncluttered as before. Occasionally the workers used heavy equipment at 7am, but most days this was not an issue. Overall, this was a great place to stay and the location provides good access to many of the places you'll want to go.

Beautiful and Great Location
This property was such a great find. We will definitely be back. Location was up the hill from the beaches but great view of the ocean and extremely quiet. Definitely walkable to the beach with great access to some amazing hikes. We saw several whales, dolphins and turtles from the balcony. Very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home.

We stayed Dec 2023 for 5 nights and it was very nice. Clean, full kitchen, 3 bathrooms for 4 adults was a plus as was the washer and dryer. We didn’t have great weather to enjoy the balcony but liked having it just the same. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Enjoyable stay in Poipu area
The place was clean, cozy, and well stocked with all kinds of supplies from Kitchen to outdoor activities. The down side was the view from the Lanai. There was construction going on, but we were warned in advance and given an option to change and we didn't so it's on us. The pool had no shaded area and the hot tub was out of commission. The walking path along the coast had such beautiful views. It was a good stay.

Amazing off-hotel meeting stay
Wonderful upgraded and appointed multi-level condo! Entrance up a flight of stairs, and all bedrooms upstairs as well. Nice full kitchen. Ocean and cliff views. Nearby construction does not obstruct views. Next to great trail... catch the sunrise over the ocean and crashing waves! 15-minute walk from Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach either by trail or sidewalks and paths.

Comfortable Unit with a view in beautiful area of Kauai
This property was overkill for just my wife and I (We didn’t really need 2 bedrooms, common area sleeping & 3 bathrooms), we knew this and were glad we stayed here. The unit was incredibly well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen & recreational equipment (we used the beach chairs & mask/snorkel sets.). The view of the ocean was amazing (unfortunately partially obstructed by construction and material storage for new buildings.). There was additional construction in progress on the resort grounds with scaffolding and daytime construction activity to replace windows & siding. The railings on the balcony are being evaluated for safety and are so posted (many units have orange “snow fence” attached to the railings.) This unit was clean and it was great to have laundry in the unit. We did note some issues with the pocket door to the master bathroom and electrical switches (which we reported to the property managers and we did not require resolution during our stay.) Overall the grounds, pool area and “sunset viewing” area on the property were well manicured and enjoyable. Parking was plentiful and convenient. We spent many hours watching whales from our balcony and also enjoyed the amazing heritage trail that you can walk to directly from the property. We enjoyed seeing green sea turtles and monk seals on the nearby beaches (walking distance.). It was a great base for touring south & west Kaua’i. We would certainly consider staying here again on a return trip to Kaua’i.

Great value
This unit was comfortable, nice floors, plenty of beach stuff. Certain things are a little odd, but overall a fabulous location. Just know that if you go in the winter, it’s so windy that you will not be able to sit on the lanai. It’s basically a wind tunnel because you are at the lowest point of Kauai and there is nothing around and the winds are very strong. Decent pool, lots of cool trails. Funky showers but the water is hot. The third floor has a weird sink in it and is just odd in general. Didn’t use it at all. Ocean front but you are a decent ways back from the water.

Great stay
We were 2 couples and had plenty of privacy with the 2 1/2 baths. The kitchen is a bit dated but manageable. The complex is very well located within walking distance to Poipu Beach Park where we celebrated the New Year's with the fireworks and movie. On the other side, you can walk to Brennecke's Beach and beyond. We very much appreciated the host gifts of coffee, chocolates and fruit. The view is great. We were a bit surprised to hear and see the construction of houses in front of the building. Because we stayed over the new year's week, few days were affected. However, do be aware that this construction will be continuing for some time. Management is quite responsive.

This location was perfection!
My family traveled the Hawaiian island for two weeks and stayed at three VRBOs. This by far was our favorite location! The space was perfect for our family of 4. My husband and I stayed in the master BR and loved the sound of crashing waves to lull us to sleep. My 9 year old slept in the second bedroom. My 13 year old refuses to sleep in the same bed as him, so she was so excited to see there was a third floor to the unit to make her own. We loved having sunrise breakfast on our own private lanai. We also love going to the other side of the building to watch sunset from the benches. But the absolute best surprise was the amazing walking trail by the resort. We hiked there every morning and explored the lava rock outcroppings. We observed whales, seals, and dolphins from afar. The best was seeing sea turtles right in the inlets. If we could this condo building is where we would buy our own piece of Hawaiian heaven!

We had a great stay here during our honeymoon! The condo was stocked with anything we would need in the kitchen & with items for the beach (chairs, towels, goggles) which was awesome.The check in and check out process was super easy. The only negative was that the view of the water from the deck was not as close as the listing pictures seemed, however it was still gorgeous and we would return!
