Poipu Palms #201 By Parrish Kauai- oceanfront views & see turtles!

The pics and description of the condo on VRBO looked amazing. We already knew the location could not be beat becasue we stayed in the ujit right next door 4 years ago (different owner/management). Unfortunately, after our first homemade meal on our first day (my wife's birthday) I realized the last time the dishwasher had been used, the cycle was cut very short as evidenced by the absolutely disgusting water and food debris still sitting in the basin of the dishwasher tub. That can only mean the dishes that were once in the dishwasher just long enough for an initial rinse cycle were removed still dirty and placed back in the cupboards and drawers; can't imagine where else they could have ended up. Disgusting, right? I immediately manually cleaned out the tub by hand thinking it was broken; nope. I then ran a drain cycle and another clean cycle with soap and no dishes; machine seemed to work perfectly fine. Thereafter, I washed every dish, cup, and utensil prior to use and of course, after use. That's kind of a lot of work I didn't appreciate doing on my Hawaiian vacation. Of course, it didn't take long (next afternoon) for the on-site manager to appear in our condo with a maintenance person to tell us not to use the dishwasher anymore as it was leaking through the ceiling in the unit downstairs. From that point through the rest of our stay aka: Hawaiian vacation, we washed all of our dishes by hand, only made worse when maintenance removed the unit and left it in the unit

Clean, spacious and well equipped nice kitchen with a very nice lanai. Beautiful view and Close to Poipu beach.

Beautiful views from the balcony, we watched the whales jumping out of the water every night. Great location easy to get to the beach, shopping, etc.

I gave the review an overall 1 star. We never got to stay at the place because when we landed we were told by Parrish Collections that there was a leak in the bathroom and that if we stayed there we would only have one bathroom and a plumber would be in our unit for an unknown amount of time. We have two teenagers and that would be difficult for us to share one restroom. The property management offer to refund our money so we could find a new place (however this was right before we were supposed to check in) or they would give us a different place. We felt like the only option was to take the other place and I had ask for a greater discount which they said they would consider. We had booked an ocean front view and instead they gave us a greenery view and only discounting us 30 a night. I was not wanting to sign the agreement since we had not agreed on the discount but was wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt because they were acting concerned and caring. All that to say they never planned on discounting us more. They said it was because they gave us a bigger place but that wasn’t what we had wanted, we were going for the oceanfront view. They kept giving me the run around and finally after we arrived back home they said they were not willing to give us a greater discount. This was our first time to the island and also celebrating our daughters 18th birthday. It was definitely not what we had planned and very sad that the way they handled the entire situation.

Check-in was easy. Kitchen has everything you might need. The view was stunning!

Great condo with an ocean view. Good location, near Poipu beaches

We had a lovely stay with only one hick up. We opened bedroom windows for a breeze and one wouldn't close. Mgmt was notified immediately. We were told the repair would involve a contractor and it would not be fixed during our stay. Overnight the window fell all the way out during a rain storm.

Well kept and clean

Unit and location met and exceeded our expectations. When looking for a place to stay, the view plus a king size bed were main criteria. The view from the lanai was perfect. Our mornings began with watching the horizon change at sunrise while we enjoyed coffee and breakfast on the lanai. We could see turtles in the ocean but suggest taking the short walk to the deck for the best view. We were caught by surprise when a red crested cardinal (thank you Goggle Pics) stopped by to finish eating my cereal right out of the bowl! Lots of birds are around so keep your screen closed. Nothing flew in but I can just imagine it happening. The lanai also offered a relaxing sunset view while enjoying an adult beverage. We also lazed in the lounge chairs by the pool during sunset. Suggesting stopping by Poipu Beach for another sunset opportunity. While there, we saw ~10 huge sea turtles sleeping on the beach, in a protected area. An activist said they often sleep up to 8 hrs in that spot. This beach also offers a protected area for calmer swimming yet another area which more waves for surfing. Shipwreck beach is also very pretty. We saw a wedding party having pictures taken. The unit had beach chairs, cooler and towels available. I did not use the kitchen beyond coffee, cereal and warming up leftovers. But, it appeared to be fully stocked, allowing you to cook full meals. Bed was very comfortable. The unit does not have A/C but we didn't notice to fans and breezes.

Everything was awesome. The only thing i would add would be letting us know whether or not you had beach chairs, umbrella or things if you didn’t have, we would have to buy. Awesome place, clean great view very comfortable and the TV was great as we watched the Dodgers beat the Padres :-).

We had an excellent stay in Kauai at this property. Don't let no A/C scare you away. There are plenty of ceiling fans and tabletop fans and there is always a constant breeze. I am a very HOT person and found it very comfortable. We had a small issue with the magnets on the screen door and maintenance was there to fix it within 5 minutes... I couldn't believe it. I would stay at this property without hesitation. The only downside which is minor, is the driveway could be steep for someone with mobility issues. But they could easily be dropped off at the curb rather than in the parking lot.

Cannot beat the view from the lanai and the pool!

This condo was in a great location with easy access to a walking trail and to Poipu beach. It is well appointed and has plenty of items you can use at the beach (coolers, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards). We had sugar ants in the kitchen that ruined our fruit and a box of cereal, but other than that, the kitchen is stocked with the basics to cook things. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms nice and clean. THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING IN THIS UNIT. Please be aware of this as the humidity can be stifling...especially if you are from a state that isn't that humid. I wish the description had said this so I could rent another. During the night, the fans are enough. But we tried to stay away during the day as it was obscenely hot in there.

This condo was perfect for our stay in Poipu. Comfortable beds, great view, and all within a quick 5min walk to the nearby beach and restaurants. The beach supplies such as chairs and bougie boards were also perfect for what we were doing. Definitely recommend.
