Kauai Oceanfront, Poipu 'Jewel on the Sea', AC, swimmable beaches, Kuhio Shores

We had a great time, convenient location to explore the south shore. The water and sunrise views were wonderful. Well equipt room. Parking was free and right at the building. Restaurant was right next door so you never needed to travel for dinner but make reservations. Just don’t park directly under the palm tree at the condos, bird poo but everything was great. We would stay again.

Very nice

We had such a wonderful stay. The condo was everything we needed for a comfortable week stay. The turtles below was such a treat! 10/10

This condo was fantastic. The owner provides excellent literature and accessibility to her and her local support person, should need arise. The condo has a balcony/lanai with amazing views of the ocean and the sea turtles swimming in it. Sunrise is stunning from the lanai. And 24/7 you can hear the surf. The condo is outfitted with many supplies including swimming and water gear. Kitchen well outfitted. Would come back again to this very condo in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Very comfortable apartment for two adults and a 6 year old, easy walking distance to a lovely kid-friendly beach. Communication with host and housekeeper was friendly and helpful. Spent all of our time on the balcony enjoying the spectacular view. I would book again!

The unit has many positive features and is in a fantastic location. Items we experienced during our stay:- The kitchen fluorescent light became increasingly unreliable. It would sometimes take several minutes to come on and, during the last three days of our stay, stopped working altogether.- The bathroom fan is quite loud and appears to have some mechanical wear.- Several cabinet drawers and doors are misaligned and do not close properly.- The AC unit occasionally rattled and made loud noises during the night. Adjusting the fan speed or turning it off temporarily usually resolved the issue.- Many of the electrical outlets no longer hold plugs securely. Some plugs become loose or fall out. - We were unable to get the smoke detector to function. We recognize that wear and tear are inevitable in a vacation property, and we appreciate the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful location. However, given the premium price associated with a beachfront property, we were somewhat surprised by the number of maintenance items that needed attention. I hope this feedback is helpful and taken in the spirit intended. We enjoyed our stay overall and wanted to pass along these observations so that future guests can have an even better experience. Molla took our feedback well.

Great location, perfect size of a unit for the two of us. Can’t say enough about the unit, all amenities were great. We will definitely be back! Each night we had our happy hour facing the ocean watching the surfers next to the Beach House Restaurant. Lovely.

Loved the location and view but mattress to soft for our liking we ended up taking it off

Beautiful location. It truly is right on the ocean and we spent a lot of time just enjoying the view on the ocean. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed to cook some of our meals at the apartment so we could save a little bit of money. The apartment was clean and well maintained, for whatever reason the bedroom had a really weird strong smell. It was fine for my husband, but I am pretty sensitive to smells and so I couldn't sleep in the bedroom. They had a pullout couch that I used and it was actually pretty comfy for a pullout! The smell was the only downside but worth it for the view.

The listing is deceiving. Claims there is AC which is a non negotiable for us and it only had a mini split which only cooled the bedroom. Was hot in the rest of the unit. The view was beautiful and the bed comfortable but for 350 a night we would have kept looking. The move in directions didn’t have the unit number so had to call the management company for that. Messaged the host a direct question on suggestions to go for anniversary and was ignored. Had the bare minimum. Broken umbrella and 3/4 fins for snorkeling. Grateful the view didn’t disappoint.

The location, the view, the parking, & the amenities couldn’t have been better. Very very comfortable. The location made it very easy to do & see everything we wanted. So glad we chose the south shore & this property. I hope to be able to stay here again on our next trip here. Received great info & instructions prior to arrival which was highly beneficial. Highly recommend!!!

Was a great homebase to enjoy Kauai. Saw turtles from the lanai and snorkeled at the nearby beach!

Such a beautiful view with a great location. The apartment is a little outdated but it was clean and comfortable so really no complaints there. We enjoyed the sunset each night and spent our day doing some of the best snorkeling right out front. We saw turtles and all kinds of fish! The host gave us a great hiking recommendation that ended up being one of the things we enjoyed the most about our trip!

Great location. Outstanding views of the ocean and sea turtles. Excellent snorkeling right at the site. Good base camp for seeing all of south and west Kauai.

We had a great time! Excellent location and whales from the balcony everyday!

The condo is as described. The AC was appreciated in the bedroom and cooled off nicely. We made good use of the snorkeling items in the closet. Before you buy a cooler the condo has a small and larger one to use along with chairs and umbrellas. It was relaxing to sit on the lanai and watch the turtles poke their heads up. Many used the cove to snorkel and scuba dive. It a perfect location to view the sunset just around the corner of the building. Thanks for a great stay

Great location. Nice views.

Our host, the view, contained all the essentials, and centrally located to take in the whole island.

Beautiful view, perfect sunsets, daily turtle sightings from balcony. Close to so many food and shopping options. Honestly did not need the AC, but nice to have.

Wonderful condo! Right on the ocean. Gentle surf sounds through the night and beautiful morning sunrises. This is a very clean and well maintained property. Lots of nice amenities. Highly recommended!

10 out of 10! We already want to come back! Everything was perfect!!

Perfect location to visit the whole island. The view and sound of the ocean is incredible. Very relaxing, clean & nice decor.

We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is located in a great part of Poipu and close to beaches, restaurants and shopping. The condo is very well kept and clean. Host was easy to contact and check-in is simple. Pictures in the listing are spot on, including the amazing ocean view. We would stay at this condo again.

We had a great stay at Kuhio Shores. Closet had 4 beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and hats. Kitchen had everything we needed including a little rice cooker and kettle. Great morning views from the lanai, quick walk to Beach House and Lawai Beach for snorkeling. Building is older Hawaiian style so it is comfy and quiet instead of glossy like a big new resort.

The condo is beautiful!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owner was very thorough, so we didn't have many questions, but she was helpful and answered quickly when we did have a question. We had an amazing trip. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you for the nice stay.

Wonderful Location

This condo has a stunning view from the lanai. I watched turtles every day from the lanai. The condo has most everything you need. The A/C in the bedroom works well, but the rest of the condo stayed really warm even with the doors/ windows open and the fans going. There were only 2 bath towels/person & 1 hand towel/person with no bathmat. The condo listing shows that it has a washer/ dryer, but it is not in the condo. They are available on each floor, but their are 2.50/load for the washer & 2.50/load for the dryer. A little disappointing especially with limited towels. I would recommend staying here as long as you are aware of the quirks of the property.

Lovely 8 nights in this gorgeous condo. Snorkeled daily from the west side of the building. Conveniently next to The Beach House restaurant. Had everything we needed.

This is the our third time staying at Kuhio Shores, first time in this unit. It is a very comfortable unit, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and furniture. We have stayed at other locations on Kauai previously, but Kuhio Shores is our favorite — great snorkeling right outside the building!

This place was perfect for our honeymoon and the best price for what you get !! We had an amazing time

The communication prior to arrival was fantastic with lots of information. The check-in was easy. We spent every morning sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and listening to the waves crash. The condo has many accoutrements for the beach, including chairs, sand toys, an umbrella, snorkeling equipment, and beach towels. We stayed cool due to the cross breeze through the condo when the back door and windows are open. Next time we are on Kaua’i, we will see if this condo is available again if it’s just myself and my spouse. The pull-out couch was not very comfortable for our child to sleep on.

We stayed at this property for 5 nights as part of our honeymoon in Kauai. The owner is so sweet and provides ample details on ensuring a great stay. The unit itself is quiet and relaxing. The best part is the amazing lanai with views of the ocean and comfortable patio furniture. It was so nice to open the back windows and listen to the ocean waves while sitting inside. If we ever come back to Kauai, we would absolutely love to stay here again! It was the perfect peaceful escape!
