Nihi Kai VIlla #503 By Parrish Kauai - amazing value w/ heated pool

The place does not have AC. Had to book direct with the property for some reason. They state over the phone that the Expedia booking isn’t valid. Booking direct through them and running CC was a nightmare. Have stayed there in a different time that was a great time and experience. This time and unit was a bust.

It was clean, but definitely a very dated property. Also no A/C in the unit, several others had it though. Very steep staircase up to the front door and again inside straight down to the bedroom/ bathrooms which were downstairs. I’d rate it very average. Close to Poipu Beach by foot.??

Amazing location. Had everything we needed. Note there is no air conditioning, but numerous fans throughout to make it good.

Great location right across the street from tide pools, Brenecke's beach for body boarding, and Poipu beach for snorkeling and turtle watching.

Overall rating as excellent. The overall property complex is beautiful and well-kept, with very nice amenities like the pool, BBQs, and tennis/pickleball courts. Parking was easy and we never had a problem finding a space. We were super happy with the proximity to Bernecke Beach (boogie-boarding waves) and Poipu Beach (swimming/snorkeling/turtles) - can't get much closer for an easy walk. Hose-off area by pool when returning from beach was super helpful and nice (and often led to us taking a dip in the pool as well). Staff was friendly and helpful; beach chairs/some boogie boards were provided at our unit and we were able to request some other equipment. Only comment that almost dropped a star for us was that our unit was a bit on the dated side. Overall nothing major, but there were some definite inconveniences like screen doors not being able to be locked (or falling off - which is problematic when relying on openness/breeze for cooling) and a fairly dated and underequipped kitchen (we were saving disposable utensils from eating out to have enough back at the unit). Would also be nice if they'd provide a drying rack or something to have on the patio since (understandably) don't want items hung over the balcony rails. All in all will definitely look to stay here again if/when we come back to Kauai - and just hope perhaps they do a little updating/restocking on units like this in the meantime.

Decent place in Kauai & close to everything in PoiPu.

Great location, nice rooms with everything we needed to make our stay perfect! Will stay again on our next visit.

We had a great stay at the property. It was hot, so the no air conditioning was a but tough, but we did know about that aheas if time, so it is what it is. The inside is quite a bit dated, with very faded, slightly weird textured carpet, but was very clean despite this. Having a washer and dryer was very convenient. So was having a door from one of the on-suite bathrooms that lead to the hallway so our sister who was staying on the couch bed uostairs could access the bathroom without entering our room in the night.

Good

Really enjoyed the location and surrounding activities. Great for our family.

My family and I had a wonderful time! Perfect location and a quick walk to poipu beach to watch the turtles and monk seals. The place was spacious and had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. It was clean, kitchen is well stocked, had 6 beach towels, a large cooler and 4 beach chairs. The washer and dryer came in handy (needs the vent cleaned) We were in Kauai when there was some flooding and the electricity went out. One of the fans stopped working in the master bedrooms and we let the management team know. They came right over and tried to fix the issue, but was unable. So thank goodness for the extra fans in the closets so we could sleep comfortably. They also fixed a few outlets while they were there. Everyone we met on the property were so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this rental and hope to visit again!

Stay was great but carpet was stained and sticky
