Located 35 feet from the surf, my Poipu condo is one of the best places to stay on the Island of Kauai. It has the best close up ocean views on the entire Island. Miles of beautiful coastline, crashing waves, breaching whales, sea turtles, great surfing action, and romantic tropical sunsets can all be seen while relaxing in my oceanfront condo in Poipu Beach. To see a YouTube video of my Poipu condo click on the video button at the top of this page. You'll love it and the music too!
r>Completely renovated, my air conditioned Kauai condo has woven bamboo flooring, new tropical living room furniture, new patio dining furniture on the lanai, new art work, Tommy Bahama pillow top beds, Tommy Bahama dressers & night stands, new ceiling fans, a new 55-inch high definition flat panel smart television, new plantation style louvered teak doors, new crown molding/wainscoting, new stereo system, CD/DVD player, fresh paint, and much much more. High speed cable & wireless Internet are included.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need. The counter tops are new Golden Crystal granite slabs and backsplash. The cabinets are solid oak. The appliances are top of the line Kitchen Aid stainless steel, featuring a convection oven.

If you plan to surf, boogie board, scuba dive, or snorkel during your vacation, you can't find a better place to stay in Kauai. Vacationers can surf, snorkel, boogie board, scuba dive, and even fish directly out our back door. Boogie boards, Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas, and beach towels are provided in the unit. There are also binoculars for viewing the whales, turtles and Hawaiian monk seals.

The trade winds on Kauai blow directly into the bedrooms and living room. Sleeping is a breeze. When the weather gets warm, not many condos in Kauai stay as cool as my condo in Poipu. In addition, there is air conditioning in the condo if you find it too warm.

My condo is one of only two ground floor corner units at Kuhio Shores. The corner units have an extra window that creates a much more panoramic ocean view than the views of the non-corner units. The extra window also makes the condo feel much larger and allows for more air flow. And you can watch the sunsets through this window while sitting in the condo.

Between my condo and the ocean is a beautiful manicured lawn that's perfect for kids. The lawn area feels like it's your own private back yard. It's great.

Having the best ocean view on the island, and with swimming, snorkeling, surfing, boogie boarding, and scuba diving right out my back door, my condo is, without a doubt, one of the best places to stay in Kauai.

HAVE A GREAT VACATION IN KAUAI, wherever you decide to stay!

    We had a wonderful stay at Ron’s place. He was incredibly accommodating and graciously allowed us a late checkout at no extra charge. He was always responsive and easy to reach, which made everything seamless.Ron is thoughtfully continuing on his brother’s legacy to share his home so others can experience the beautiful oceanfront, great surfing, and special feel of the property. It adds a meaningful touch to an already lovely stay.The home was perfect for quality time with the kids. Comfortable, relaxing, and in an amazing location. The snorkeling was excellent as well.We’re so grateful for the experience and would happily stay again. Highly recommend. Thank you Ron. Mahalo.

    Ron was an absolute fabulous host. He was attentive to all my questions and answered them within minutes. We requested to leave our luggage before check in being that we had a soft top jeep and were afraid of our car getting broken into. He didn’t hesitate at all. He accommodated us prior to check in time. We truly appreciated that. The condo and its views are breathtaking. My family and I enjoyed every single day there. You are literally steps away from the ocean. We saw whales, turtles, surfers and chickens every day. It was truly incredible. The condo itself is completely renovated and spotless. You have everything you need. The kitchen was also stocked to cook daily meals. We had absolutely zero issues. If I could give Rons place 100 stars I would. Thank you Ron!! We shall be back!

    We had a comfortable and relaxing experience staying in Ron's condo. Direct access to the water and tide pools, convenient access to the Beach House restaurant and baby beach next door. Slept very well in the comfortable beds. Made the most of watching the sunset every evening and even doing yoga in the mornings on the lanai! Ron was very responsive when we needed.

    This is an amazing oceanfront location with spectacular views and beach access just steps from the lanai. The unit is highly upgraded and very comfortable for two couples. Ron is a great host, very responsive and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    We really enjoyed this property. The proximity to the beach, furnishings, amenities, A/C, cleanliness and ease of parking made this an awesome unit. Also, being super close to Old Koloa Town and a shopping center (in walking distance) gave us a few nearby things to do. We also enjoyed watching the surfers while just hanging on the lanai.The restaurant right next to the building seemed to host a few weddings. The music and dancing added a liveliness to the atmosphere during the afternoons/evenings. They were really good about ending the parties early enough so the noise wasn't a problem at night.Ron is a great host. We had some unexpected construction going on during our stay with scaffolding blocking the view. Ron was very understanding that the view was one of the selling points of this unit. Although the construction was out of his control, he made things right by contacting the building manager to adjust their schedule and also gave us a discount for the inconvenience. Instructions and communication with Ron were straightforward but detailed (we didn't really have any questions). Would definitely consider staying here again!

    This condo was spectacular in every way. The ocean is right off the back door and the views are incredible. Conveniently located close to shopping, restaurants and Poipu beach where the sea turtles rest every evening.

    This trip was bittersweet. It was supposed to be my mother, brother, and myself, but my mom passed away 9 days before our trip. We had promised we would go regardless. The place was beautiful, view spectacular, location amazing, and accommodations in point. Although the stay was emotional, it was a perfect way to reflect on our loved one in such a beautiful place.

    The location could not have been better. Spent days just sitting on the patio steps away from the ocean watching the locals and sea turtles surf the waves. Great food was all around and the unit itself was in great condition and was well stocked with everything we could ever need. Truly a magical place!!! I would definitely stay here again in the future!!!!

    We had the pleasure of having extended stays on 3 islands and our accommodations and available activities at Ron’s place on Kuhio Shores were the best. Great snorkelling was steps away from our ground floor unit and the sunset views were amazing. Each day we were entertained with turtle, whale and dolphin sightings, as well as a multitude of surfers. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I hope to come back again soon with other family members.

    Cannot express enough how perfect this condo was. Right on the water, huge lawn for the kiddos to run on, and the views were exquisite. We saw turtles everyday, and it was close walking distance to baby beach. The condo was extremely clean, one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in, had a fully stocked kitchen to cook in, and had plenty of room for my 3 kids (8,4,1) and my husband and me. Would recommend if stopping by the store beforehand, grab coffee and shower soaps. An extra perk is there are plenty of chairs, beach toys, boogie boards, umbrellas and ice chests which was so convenient. The owner was super helpful and quick to respond. We hope to stay here again in the future.

    we cannot say enough about our beautiful stay in this gorgeous place! The pictures online do not do it justice! The view was mesmerizing and the sound of the ocean filled each room Our host was fantastic and easy to communicate with. The kitchen was well stocked and there was even a bottle of champagne waiting for us! The beach, chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards came in very handy for our beach day. It is centrally located near everything, including wonderful beaches, restaurants, and activities. We would highly recommend this beautiful property!

    I stayed with my husband for a week at this condo and it was exactly how it was descibed. We had a fabulous time. The condo had everything one could possibly need. The location was incredible. You are at the water, you wake up and go to sleep with the sound of the ocean. When we were at condo,we were outside all of the time on lani or beach chairs and in the evening viewing the most beautiful sunsets. I recomend this rental to anyone wanting to have a great location and a great time...Thank you Ron Brown
