This unit is in need of repairs and updating. The toilet did not work properly and all the appliances were old. There was a large cleaning which didn't make sense considering the place wasn't that clean. The unit has screens with shutters that can't be sealed off and the screens are old with lots of holes so it is impossible to keep out insects. You may as well be camping. The only saving grace is the complex and location. The property has beautiful grounds and a basically private beach.
This was our first stay on the south end of Kauai and this property with its location and accessibility to the beach and sites in the area was ideal. Our apartment was very nice, comfortable, welcoming. Appreciate the amenities of the complex, towel service, check in, parking.
The athletic club across the street was great. Close to the beach. No air conditioning. A few critters (cockroaches) to contend with. Not a lot of privacy with the open windows open.
I have to tell the story so that no one else goes through the same thing. I arrived in Kauai and spent 4 wonderful days at a resort in Hanalei (which I highly recommend in the north). But when I arrived at this property in Poipo it was a nightmare! They have a nest of cockroaches throughout the unit. According to the management, they tried to kill them with a spray that didn't work (they only spent 2 minutes and they put two traps). They never offered to change my unit. Only Katie the host wanted to give me back the remaining money because I had already spent one night đ±. Not even the full amount... The entire resort is dirty. Unfortunately I couldn't find another room and I had to stay doing thousands of things to not attract more cockroaches. Every day I covered the pipes, closed all my suitcases, and disinfected everything before using it. Definitely not the kind of vacation we expect. I tried to do everything possible so that my young daughters didn't suffer on their vacation. They couldn't even lie on the floor like any other child because of the negligence of the resort. The receptionist mocked me sacrastically saying "welcome to Hawaii" and justified herself by saying that this type of insects were normal. But IT IS NOT TRUE! I spoke with local people who live there and other property owners and they all agree with the same thing. It is NOT Normal!!! The unit has cockroach problems. I hope you take my recommendation!!
Enjoyed how close to the beach we were and loved having access to the pool and athletic club. No a/c in unit but good cross breeze and fans which kept us comfortable. Paid laundry units within walking distance.
Property was fine. Kitchen lacking in some places. Appliances seemed on the cheaper side, which didn't matter too much as we ate out primarily. One of the beach chairs was broken, so both adults couldn't sit together on the beach. Biggest issue was that the property had us scheduled to depart a day before we were booked through and we ended up locked out of the condo while they contacted the owner. Was a little stressful. Location is great for access to shops and restaurants
We stayed here for a few nights toward the end of our trip so we could explore the South shore. Solid location close to Poipu beach and lots of restaurants and shopping. Bed was big and comfy. Our main issue was the gnat problem in the bathroom. Itâs a beach front property with a pool but the pool is across the street in the fitness center they partner with; we did not ever go to the pool though so this was less of an issue, just something to consider if you plan to use it. The beach is short walk as the property is closer to the street entrance which did lead to some highway noise.
The suite was very clean and has a very comfortable king bed. It was nice to have two TVs so when we put the little one in the main room to bed, we could watch TV in our bedroom. One of The Tommy Bahamas beach Chairs was broken and the fan in the main room is not working up to full speed, but the fan in the bedroom was very powerful we didnât miss the AC
Great location. Clean and comfortable.
Snorkelling is great on the beach and of course the turtles coming up every evening is amazing. We have tweens and location was great for us.
No AC, but you adjust quickly. Open up at night and close up in the mid-morning.
We were just a little disappointed in the details of the condo. Although it was clean, it was a little worn and dated. None of the furniture matched the photos and several items listed didn't match what was listed on the VRBO website. The table legs were so loose we had to call to have them tightened, the living room fan had one low speed and the remote to it didn't work. The box fan didn't work. Since the unit didn't have air conditioning, these things were important. There was no umbrella. One of the beach chairs was very broken and the one beach "boogey" board was actually a tiny kick board. The shower handle needs to be replaced or tightened down but was functional. The bedroom was great! Overhead fan fast and cooling and that room had the only operational tv. Great king size bed, lots of clothing storage. It just felt neglected and like the owner hadn't been there to check on things in a while. We still enjoyed our stay and the price was reasonable, but think the photos and description need updating.

I stayed at Kiahuna Plantation with my family when I was a kid, and I was very excited to come back with my children now. It is a truly unique place, a real Hawaii feel as opposed to resort feel. This condo unit is in great shape and well cared for. It is set back a bit from the beach area, but that worked well for us as it was very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful place, beautiful trip. We will be back.
We had an amazing time in Poipu and the condo was perfect for the price. It had everything we needed and more. The location was more than ideal. The beach is just down the street, restaurants, bars, the beach club all near by. It was fantastic. Thank you.
Everything was as described and in great condition (except the âmarketâ across the street is more a tourist shop than an everyday market). We had a wonderful trip and the host was quick to respond to questions. Thank you!
