Watch frolicking sea turtles, marvel at spectacular sunrises, enjoy whale watching (in season), and relax under starry night skies from the shaded, breezy comfort of the lanai at this charming, third-floor, oceanfront Kuhio Shores condo.

***** We invite you to enjoy our 5-Star condo*****. We have dozens of 5-Star reviews with our former vrbo listing but when we changed to a new premier host property manager and vrbo listing, our 5-Star reviews did not transfer.

The condo features an airy open floor plan with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows that afford you both ocean and mountain views. Open the lanai doors to allow the comfortable Hawaiian trade winds and the sounds of gently breaking waves to float through the condo or close the lanai doors and enjoy the comfort of AC provided by two mini-split AC units, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The living room features a 50” Samsung flatscreen smart TV with cable and Amazon 4K Fire TV stick, a glider swivel rocker, and a bluetooth stereo bar. The condo has high speed wi-fi and an electronic charging station for laptops and cell phones.

Kitchen: The fully stocked and equipped kitchen provides a full-sized refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher, a wonderful cooking area, should you decide to dine in. The dining table for four is situated so that you get marvelous views of the ocean and Hoai Bay. As an alternative you can enjoy a cozy dinner for two on the wicker table on the lanai.

Sleeping Areas: The condo provides sleeping arrangements for either a couple or a small family. The bedroom has a Cal King Tempur-Pedic mattress, and the living room has a comfortable queen-size memory foam sleeper.

Bathroom: The fully remodeled bathroom is bigger than most bathrooms and provides a walk in shower and plenty of places to hang and store your gear.

Flooring: The flooring is completely tile so you don’t have to worry if you spill something and it is easy to manage should you track in sand or water, a common occurrence in Hawaii!

Kuhio Shores Amenities: The condo building has two elevators and carts for getting your baggage to your room, washer/dryer units on each floor with coin changing machine, and a barbecue area should you decide you wish to grill. You can enjoy amazing sunsets from the lawn immediately in front of the condo building. A parking pass in the condo at the time of check-in will provide you parking for one car in the condo’s parking lot.

Activities: Some of the best snorkeling on the island can be found just steps from the condo at Lawai Beach, which also provides a small beach that is perfect for youngsters. Across the street you can enjoy Prince Kuhio Park and a 10 minute walk brings you to the Kukui’ula Shopping Center where you can wander among its many restaurants, shops, galleries, and weekly Wednesday farmers market. Short drives of less than 5 minutes will bring you to lush native plants and a charming waterfall at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens, a stunning waterspout at the Spouting Horn and a calm, protected beach at Kukui‘ula Harbor. Kukui‘ula Harbor is also a common starting point for commercial tours featuring whale-watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, and other ocean-based activities. Since many of these tours start early in the morning, it is nice to have a short drive with easy parking to start your day.

Dining: You are only steps away from the romantic, award-winning Beach House Restaurant where you can either eat or kick back and relax with a Mai Tai while watching surfers catch their last rides of the day in front of a gorgeous sunset. Alternatively, a short 5-10 minute drive brings you to the many restaurants and bars in Poipu, charming old-town Koloa, or Kukui’ulu Shopping Center.

Location: The condo is a 30 minute drive from the airport and a 10 minute drive from the main loop road on the island. Immediately after you turn off the main loop road and head to the condo you will pass through a magical half-mile long tunnel of trees. The condo is roughly a 30 minute drive from south-side and east-side attractions and a 60-75 minute drive from north-side attractions. The condo is east-facing which means that you will enjoy spectacular sunrises and afternoon/evening shade on the lanai. The condo fronts the protected waters of Hoai Bay which allows you to view sea turtles while still affording you direct oceanfront and mountain views. We have seen both whales and dolphins from our lanai.

    There was a beautiful view from the balcony. Furniture was comfortable and kitchen stocked sufficiently. The bed was very comfortable as were the linens. This is a lovely condo with all of the beach accessories needed, chairs, towels, noodles and sand toys.

    I agree with almost all of the previous comments, good and not-so-good, about the property, but am rounding up my 4.5 review to a 5. A few ways the experience could be improved, in my opinion: Host should (1) pay a little more attention to her bookings to minimize confusion re: conflicting inspection appointments and the like, (2) install a lock inside the unit (that cannot be opened with a combination from the outside) so occupants feel more secure, (3) update the photo of the lanai to show ALL 8 pieces of furniture on it, (4) indicate in the listing that washer/dryer are communal and coin operated, and (5) have more info in guest notebook about the complex and area.

    We had a wonderful 11 day stay! The condo was spotless when we arrived. Well maintained, with gorgeous furnishings and art. Photos are accurate. Turtles come and hang out in the water only a few yards away from the condo. We could watch them from our lanai almost every day! When the full moon came out, it was spectacular shining on the water. The bed is one of the most comfortable we've ever had at a vacation rental. Even the pillows were perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed to do at-home meals and cocktails. This is a smaller condo complex, which we liked a lot (not a mega-resort with a zillion amenities we'd never have used anyway). Wi-Fi was strong and the TV had all of our streaming services available. The location is great, with the upscale Beach House restaurant next door and Koloa and Poipu a 5-minute drive away. Highly recommend!

    We had an incredible 5-night stay in Kōloa! The views were absolutely epic, and the home was spotless, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed—beach chairs, towels, and more. We loved having lunch while watching sea turtles right from the property, and the community was so welcoming and kind.The memory foam bed deserves a special mention—it was hands down the best sleep I’ve ever had on vacation. That alone made it feel like a true retreat!The location couldn’t be better: great local surf, and just about a mile away in Poipu we ended our days with breathtaking sunsets and sea turtles resting on the beach. Truly unforgettable.Jane was an amazing host—so well-prepared that we didn’t need a thing during our stay. She made it easy to simply relax and enjoy a well-deserved vacation. This place won’t disappoint—highly recommend!

    Location is perfect for snorkeling, swimming, surfing all within 5-10 minutes. We also explored other areas of the island and really enjoyed the diversity of the landscape.

    Perfect condo in Poipu/Koloa with a view! Faces east for incredible sunrises, and if you’re on mainland time, you will be up for them!!! We could see turtles and whales right from the lanai as advertised and just a short walk to Baby Beach, which was awesome!

    We really enjoyed this condo for our trip to Kaua'i. Greeted by the sun each morning, and a nice shady spot on the balcony to enjoy the ocean in the afternoon. Will look to booking here again on another visit.

    The condo was clean and had an amazing view of the ocean. You could hear the waves crashing against the rocks and watch the sea turtles! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. The host was very responsive even prior to us getting there. We would definitely stay there again! What a wonderful and relaxing trip!

    Condo was great. Beautiful view. Rainbows and turtles to see from lanai (balcony). The unit had everything we needed, including beach chairs. Well stocked kitchen and bath. Comfortable bed. We only used the AC one afternoon when we came back to nap. Otherwise, the breezes through the unit made it quite comfortable and you can hear the ocean waves better that way!

    I’ll cover the good first. The view was great; the balcony overlooked a very small bay as pictured. Sunrises were beautiful! The condo was adequate; the bed and sofa were comfortable, the bathroom and shower were clean, and the kitchen was nicely equipped. The neighborhood is convenient to restaurants and markets. However, the complex is very old and tired. The BBQ is in the parking lot next to the garbage. The washer/dryer is not in the condo, but is communal downstairs, and is expensive and there is no change machine.
