Poipu Kapili 44 By Parrish Kauai - penthouse ocean views, walk to the beach & sh

While on our flight to Hawaii I received an email stating that the condo we booked wasn't available because of construction in the condo and we would need to stay in a different condo. We specifically chose this condo to be close to and have a view of the ocean. We ended up with condo facing the main road that was loud with traffic and emergency vehicles virtually every night.

We had a great stay, the unit is quite large and enjoys top floor view. HUGE lanais were a real plus. Comfy beds which is always critical but often under appreciated. Unit needs some updating however and shows it’s age in terms of appliances, furnishings and some appointments. AC in bedrooms but far too noisy to actually use but also not critical unless in summer I think. Overall tho the spaciousness and location and property amenities combine to make this a good choice. Oh and lots of beach paraphernalia for use which was great.

Great stay. Gorgeous view. Awesome having infant seat, beach toys, chairs, towels already at the unit. Wish there had been AC in the living area. Would love to come back again!

The view was beautiful! The location was great, close to many things.

Everything at this property was perfect! The communication with the front desk from the time of booking through the end of our stay was exceptional! Unit 44 specifically is absolutely accommodating for all of your needs! It is extremely spacious and has everything that you need to enjoy your stay from towels and beach equipment to everything in the kitchen and is fully equipped where you don't need to worry about bringing anything! The air conditioning in the bedroom is a very nice addition....we traveled with a family of 5 and had more than enough space. We were concerned with the views as that is sometimes misrepresented with pictures online but it is beautiful! The grounds are kept very nicely and the location is great. If we can make the trip over here again we would definitely stay here! Thank you again to the front desk for all of your hospitality!

Huge 2 bedroom with every amenity you can think of. Bedrooms are massive, each with own deck. Right across from ocean, can hear waves constantly. Short walk down street to beach or, if necessary, can drive with public parking available. Pool is clean and just big enough. Grounds are meticulous

Great location and views. Lots of space for 2 small families (3 people in each family) easy walk to beach in front of the sheraton and a small buy manageable walk with kids and gear to the poipu beach

Very spacious unit especially the decks. Yes, two separate large ocean view decks. Good in case the family has an internal tiff.

Should have notified us that the elevator was not functioning and the property was on the 3rd floor. 2nd bedroom mattress a bit saggy. Otherwise, no problems.

We booked this property and a month before our stay, we were notified that there was a malfunction in the property (top floor penthouse) and given two choices. Neither choice was close in quality of the original property but as we were a month out from our trip and lodging options were slim, we chose one with a decreased number of bedrooms (from 2 to 1). When we arrived and checked into the property (not this one listed but the new one), it looked nice on the surface but looks can be deceiving. To begin, the lock on the FRONT DOOR consisted of a twist knob and privacy latch; this doorknob is one you would typically find on a BATHROOM door or a BEDROOM door and is by NO MEANS meant to provide the safety and reliability needed in a front door lock. It was flimsy, old and ridiculously laughable. Next, items advertised as available in the property were either not there, not in good working order or not easily accessible. Within the first 15 minutes of arrival, I had to call property management three times to locate items in description - beach towels, beach chairs (in outside locked boiler room on lanai) and sheets for the murphy bed. In terms of the murphy bed, the bed had sheets on it when we pulled it down and I questioned whether or not they were clean (as the description stated it would NOT have sheets on it and we would need to utilize sheets found in the property). Housekeeping first stated they were, in fact, dirty and they would come and change them and then called back saying they were, in fact clean, and to utilize them. Still only having a fitted and top sheet with no comforter nor pillows, these also needed to be tracked down through phone calls to property management. The new property was ONLY $200 less than the original property. This is completely unbelievable, especially given the decrease in both number of bedrooms as well as top floor vs ground floor. Not only was this new property not worth the cost we paid but we were upcharged based on the change in MAY instead of charging us what the property was priced at back in March when we made our original booking. This is why I believe this was a bait and switch situation, focusing on the fact that we were not staying an entire week. Our belief is that the reservation was cancelled and rebooked to another party, willing to stay entire week (to gain more profit); we saw activity in the original property (we could see the lanai from ours), proving it was habitable, as otherwise claimed.
