Sunset Kahili 501 Stunning ocean & mountain views at this end unit!
Enjoy stunning ocean and mountain views from this lovely end-unit condo. Especially dramatic is the view down the beach all the way to Spouting Horn. Enjoy the colorful skies of sunset and balmy breezes from your private lanai.
Near a variety of activities, shops and restaurants, this condo is in a wonderful location for maximizing your vacation enjoyment. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., both Poipu Bay Resort Golf Course and Kiahuna Golf Course are nearby and offer mother nature's beauty as well as challenge. If you would like to learn about tropical flora on Kauai, you may want to take a tour of Allerton Garden or McBride Garden, both a National Tropical Botanical Garden. Just down Lawai Road is 'Spouting Horn,' a lava tube that spouts when the waves force water into the tube and out the top in a spectacular display. And, of course, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby that offer a nice variety of delicious cuisine.
You can enjoy some rest and relaxation right on your lanai while watching the waves roll in during the day and beautiful sunsets in the evenings. The swimming pool is a short walk from your condo whenever you feel like a refreshing dip. Take a short stroll along the ocean to Poipu Beach Park for snorkeling, swimming, surfing and sunning. Nice to know there is a lifeguard there in case you want to go into the water.

The apartment was clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. It's on the 5th floor (there's an elevator) and it's on the ocean corner of the apartment building. Awesome views!
I’m afraid to write too many nice things about this condo and then it won’t be affordable next time I visit Kauai. But the location is spectacular. The condo is clean and decorated so nicely. The complex is quiet and clean. I’ll only ever want to stay here every trip to Kauai.
This is an amazing condo with a lovely location in Poipu. The kitchen had plenty of amenities. Quiet and relaxing condo property. We enjoyed sleeping to the sounds of waves with all windows & doors open for fresh air. The trade winds helped cool the condo which has no A/C. The property manager & Kauai Vacation Rentals were available for questions. Mahalo

We have returned to this unit in the Kahili for over 30 years. The view is incomparable. The south shore never fails to please. This is our home away from home. This is not just a base to see the island. This is the reason we go, to stay in this unit.

501 offers a breathtaking view along with swaying palm trees and the sound and sights of crashing waves right below our Lana'i. The decor and amenities were lovely. The kitchen offered nice dishes and cooking ware. My 2 adult daughters & I have stayed at Sunset Kahili before and love the location. Kauai Vacation Rentals were great to work with.

No privacy in the master bedroom (door). 2nd bedroom need a/c. No circulation. Also junky closet with all the beach gear. Showers are in bad shape. Needs deep cleaning in kitchen & bathrooms.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The view can not be beat! 180 degree ocean view from the lanai. We spend every morning and sunset out there watching whales and just relaxing. The building is really showing its age however the finishes and furnishings in this unit are updated and in good condition. No noise from the street or neighbors, only the ocean! Well equipped kitchen. Great location in Poipu! We could walk to the beach. I think it was 1/3 of a mile. In the other direction was a fantastic walking path that runs up to the Hyatt. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning. Listing says it has AC but it’s only a tiny portable unit that doesn’t really do much unless you’re standing in front of it. It was requested that we leave the windows closed while out for the day so that means we came home to a roasting hot condo. Even in January, fans and ocean breezes don’t really cut it. Mornings were pleasant but after an entire day of south facing sun exposure, the afternoons, evenings, and nights were not very comfortable inside. But I must reiterate that the view and location are absolutely top notch!

If you enjoy the sound of waves crashing on the rocks below, I do and now that I'm home I miss that! The place is clean and the view is incredible. The roomy environment is so comfy
Views are just breathtaking. Condo itself is nicely updated. One of the best overall experience.

My daughter and I had a wonderful time at this condo, the best one in the building! Very comfortable and looks recently updated. Easily accessible with an elevator and carts to carry your luggage. It's a bit far to walk to beach with accessories, so we drove and found parking easily at Poipu Beach.

We do love coming back to 501. The view is wonderful. We were disappointed that new ownership did not replace the screen doors. The tv stand is too bulky for the room. Shutters would have been a nice improvement.With such a large increase in rent, we would have expected new furniture. We still love the Kahili & 501, & will return again, but maybe not stay as long.

Sunset Kahili
This is the best view on the island. Crashing waves, great sunset and panoramic views of the Pacific. Very peaceful with one caveat. There is a property manager there who obviously doesn't want renters. Most people own there. He gave us a hard time twice and I reported it to Kauai Vacation Rentals. They called me and I thought they were going to apologize but instead informed us we were getting fined for parking in the loading zone! They never read my email which told them ahead of time that friends had come to pick us up for dinner and they parked there for literally two minutes before this manager was banging on the door and threatening to have it towed. I thought KVR's was calling me to offer compensation and an apology. They should have just blown him off. I would still highly recommend this place and maybe you will not experience a problem there with him. But KVR did disappoint an otherwise lovely time.

Left a review on the form provided with the checkout packet, on the kitchen counter. But ...Would like to recommend better cleaning in the smaller second bedroom. Bathroom and bedroom door panels, moldings, and walls behind the door had dirty finger smudges. A careful eye to clean these areas would be appreciated. Also, could not access the closet in 2nd bedroom d/t clutter/outdoor gear in closet. It's a very small room & would have been nice to access closet to store belongings. Appreciated the updated kitchen, counters, appliances, and flooring. Comfortable beds. Kitchen fairly well stocked in exception to a medium sized saucepan and larger soup pot (dutch oven). Could have used these items. We didn't use the dishwasher as we didn't seem have enough dishes. Wished for a dish pan and dish strainer for counter. The door key did not disengage well from the door lock. Frustrating. Lock seemed to be rusted or corroded? Could have used a better reading lamp in the living area (only 1 lamp bright enough to read by). But we loved the SK setting and the spectacular views of the ocean, coastal beaches and sunsets. The pool area was very clean and provided welcome refreshment every hot afternoon. Kauai restaurants, music, cultural events have not fully opened up yet as a result of the pandemic 2020-21 but we enjoyed many walks and hikes in the Poi Pu area and Waimea Canyon. Dinner at The Beach House was very special though limited menu as they have only been open a few weeks. We understand it may take a while to recover in the community! ONWARD.

Rainbows galore. Great response to service needed to figure out how to use the TV. Clean rooms. Large deck is terrific. Weather was so windy that whale spouts were very hard to see. But best weather in the island is on this side of the island.

Once more we returned to Kauai, Poipu, and the Sunset Kahili. We have been doing so since before Iniki. Some things have changed, but the view, the ocean and the shore line remains the same. It was good to be back where it was warm, even though it did rain. Kauai never disappoints.
