koolkondo Shores 405 Oceanfront Condo

We really enjoyed our six day stay at this wonderful condo and would love to return someday! The view from the lanai is wonderful, and the sound of the waves crashing on the lava outcroppings was entrancing. We spent mornings and evenings having most meals

This condo was very pleasant, had a great view directly overlooking the ocean, very clean, all amenities as listed and in good condition, & always a parking spot available. The property contact person was delightful, responded quickly to questions, alerted us to stormy conditions coming up and super helpful. I especially liked that it was NOT full of little decos to need to be careful of. Strong Recommend for this one.

Fabulous location, well appointed condo. Great communication from host. Mahalo!

Host is very responsive. I didn’t end up staying in this property so I can’t review. However, the property that we moved to was a great location, great views, clean, plenty of parking, and accommodating.

Nice large home. A little dated but still comfortable. We were originally booked in the oceanfront Koolkondo apartment but because it was getting some plumbing work, the owner moved us to the home at 2283 Hoo’hu. This review is for the home and not for the oceanfront apartment.

planned this trip for my 81-year-old mother, who had always dreamed of seeing the turtles one last time. I found this property, and it couldn't have been more perfect—especially with elevator access, which made things much easier for her. We spent hours on the patio, enjoying the sound of waves crashing against the lava rocks and watching the turtles right from where we sat. It was a truly special and memorable experience.

All you need within walking distance!

The view from this condo is breathtaking, the condo was excellent and we enjoyed our stay. We will be back. Beds were so comfy.I loved this condo, the only negative Is the bathroom shower in the main bedroom is tricky and I we had to play with it to get the shower to come on.We could literally hear waves crashing every night!!! And turtles right below us every single day.

We had a wonderful time staying over Christmas. There were binoculars in the condo and we spotted a whale and lots of sea turtles, and the balcony views were unbeatable. The beds were comfortable and the layout of the kitchen and fining/living spaces were great. It would be nice to have a few pantry staples for cooking other than salt and pepper, otherwise it was incredible! Location was perfect.

Book this place! Thoughtfully appointed with everything you need - even laundry detergent. The beds were comfy and the air conditioning worked great, but the best part were the views: cute turtles every morning and amazing sunsets every evening!

The owner thought of every detail to make our stay at the condo very enjoyable!! The condo was clean and well stocked with enough towels, beach towels, beach equipment, etc. The binoculars were perfect to zoom in and watch the many sea turtles below our lanai. You are able to get an idea of view from condo in real time from “Live Cams”, as the camera is right next to the condo pointed in direction of Poipu Beach. The condo is in a great location to walk to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach. It is also within walking distance of the Lava Arch Beach, which has access to a trail that connects to Shipwreck Beach and the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail…it was a very convenient trail to walk to the Grand Hyatt for breakfast at Ilima Terrace and dinner at Tidepools (even though kitchen in condo was well stocked, being on vacation I opted not to cook). Ear plugs were provided and appreciated in the second bedroom, as the window isn’t sound proof so you are able to hear people in hall coming and going. Master bedroom/bath is on the ocean side so all you hear is the soothing sounds of the waves (no ear plugs needed)!

The property location was awesome. The floors at the condo were not clean along with a comforter that had an unidentifiable stain and clearly not washed. The property mgr communicated consistently and did assure me that his cleaning company would be notified.

We truly enjoyed this condo, the convenient location to Poipu Beach and the stunning views! The fourth floor location was perfect for watching sea turtles below, watching the surf crash against the rocks, and activities down the coastline at Shipwreck Beach. The roof overhang protected us from the rain so we could enjoy the outdoors even when raining. It is a short drive to Koala Town, Poipu Shopping Center and The Shops at Kakui'ula where there are many dining options. The location is a very short walk to Shipwreck or Poipu Beach, so you can avoid the congested parking lots. You can also pick up the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail just up the street to enjoy a beautiful walk along the coastline. We appreciated the thoughtful conveniences such as complimentary shampoo and conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, beach chairs and sun umbrella! The bed and pillows were so comfortable, and after acclimating to the very loud surf, we slept great! A few items in need of improvement would be fixing the sliding screen door, replacing non-stick pans in kitchen, and checking drains on the faucets as they did not go easily go up/down and were slow. Upgrading the hairdryer and adding a lighted and magnified makeup mirror would be a nice addition. Overall this is a super comfortable condo with stunning views and an outstanding location. We hope to return next year!
