Nihi Kai VIlla #600 By Parrish Kauai - beautiful condo w/AC at Poipu Beach

The place was perfect!

We enjoyed our stay. There were 6 of us, including a grandfather and 3 kids. It was very nice to have access to a wagon, body boards, a cooler, beach chairs, umbrella. We could walk to two of our favourite beaches that were side by side: Poipu for snorkeling and hanging out, and Brennecke’s body boarding. The kids borrowed the pickleball equipment and enjoyed playing that as well. The unit has everything we needed: the kitchen was well stocked. Air conditioning was great.

The condo was perfect for our family with young adult kids traveling with us. Lots to do in the area in walking distance. Each evening there were no less than 20 green turtles resting on Poipu. The AC is a must in June/July and the condo was great and we stayed cool inside. There was not a thing we needed that was not already provided and considered. The property management was simply wonderful and had the best communication (via text and email) of any VRBO we have ever stayed with. Mahalo for a wonderful stay!

Other than the villa is hard to find in the dark and you cannot park close to #600 it was great (we had a handicap person who has trouble walking long distances). We enjoyed the pool (which did not seem heated - it was a little cool to us). The grounds were beautiful. Inside our villa both bedrooms and bathrooms were downstairs (which was also a little difficult for our handicap person). There were lanais off each bedroom and two upstairs. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with new pots and pans and probably any appliance you might want. We had plenty of storage bowls (we kept running out of forks though and had to run the dishwasher or hand wash). We had aluminum foil, handi wrap, trash bags, dishwasher pods, and laundry pods provided. We did not use the two gas grills near the tennis courts, but they looked nice. We used the recycle bins beside the trash dumpsters near the parking lot. The communication was great when we needed something (we had a clogged tub drain that was remedied within a couple of hours or less). We did have extra bath towels but no extra wash cloths - 4 pool towels were also included. We had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, toilet paper and kleenex provided in the villa. We also had 2 boogie boards, small tote cooler, and beach chairs. Sunsets were amazing from the pool or sitting on the rock wall out on the sidewalk near the pool over Brennecke Beach toward Poipu Beach. Sea turtles come up every night 6:15-6:30 p.m. to Poipu Beach and sea lions come sometimes also. We had an amazing trip with such a wonderful place to stay!

I loved this rental more than I thought I would! The property that they condos are on, is beautiful and so peaceful. I enjoyed just sitting on the porch. Inside, everything was great! There was one small issue- the master bedroom downstairs had a strange smell and it was a bit musty. There were no windows, just a sliding glass door that left no privacy. But I opened the window in the bathroom to help air our from the showers. My mother in law believes she got bit by a spider in her room one night and the Parrish Collection company was wonderful in assisting her by checking the room with a UV light, changing all her bedding, etc. Other than that I would love to come back!

This was our second venture to Nihi Kai as we love the location and the beautiful grounds. It is reminiscent of 'old Kauai' which we discovered in 1970! Were a bit disappointed with #600 however. Firstly, there were some housekeeping problems: Twin Room: one of the beds was not correctly placed on the frame which left a 6 inch protrusion of metal at the end; we scraped our legs several times before removing the mattress and correcting the box spring. Also in this room the dust ruffles were torn and hanging and had to be removed. Not an inviting room for guests! Second: there were only two fans instead of the three listed and one of them was a very old simple fan which did not do much good. Third: since there is no kind of screening on the lanai the afternoon sun could be uncomfortable, especially since the fan was useless. Lastly: we appreciate the fact that you cannot keep food in the condos due to possible pests however, it wouldn't hurt to leave some condiments in the frig so that each guest didn't have to run out for every single item needed to prepare food! For us this would be a much better welcome than the bathroom goodies and a couple of bags of tea. It would also be better for the environment than the repeated purchase and waste of food and plastic. Thank you. Christine Reich

Great clean and comfortable condo. We enjoyed our stay here very much. We had everything we needed. Only things missing were silly, but wine glasses, and Tupperware containers for day trips. Really nice property and especially gardening staff!

The unit and the grounds of Nihi Kai were wonderful. Resident geckos are plentiful and the stunning roosters can’t tell time. A 5:30 wake up is guaranteed but the odd bird felt 3:00 am was close enough. To be expected on Kauai! The unit is well stocked with all that is needed. It is a little dark but nothing new lighting can’t remedy. Would definitely recommend this unit.

We loved this place. Nice place with lots of beach equipment. Easy to make meals with everything you need. Could not find plastic bags for the garbage. Even the store was out. Also our shower broke. It was handled quickly. Thanks to Eric Schmidt who saved the day getting our water back up and running !!!!

Sitting out every morning, enjoying the flowering trees, a quick walk to the beach- how can you not love it. Lovely, clean unit with all the amenities. Great place to stay.
