The property was as described and so close to the beach, our kids had a blast at the pool and the beach. Would definitely recommend to any one planning on staying here
Wonderful location and property with Hawaiian character! Spacious for 4 adults and an infant. Secluded enough to feel like you can get away from the busyness of Poipu Beach. Stellar walking location to three (3) different beaches.
Nice condominium rental. Two bedrooms and bathrooms downstairs and kitchen + common area upstairs.
Kitchen stocked with adequate dishes, utensils, pots, pans, etc.
Fans in each room.
Plenty of comfortable seating indoor and outdoor.
Within walking distance of the coastline.
Eveything we needed to enjoy our stay in Kauai!

It was clean, but definitely a very dated property. Also no A/C in the unit, several others had it though. Very steep staircase up to the front door and again inside straight down to the bedroom/ bathrooms which were downstairs. I’d rate it very average. Close to Poipu Beach by foot.🌴🌴
Condo is close to beach. It has a charm that takes me back to my childhood. I'm hoping the ceiling fan/light has been fixed. It would come on at all times of the night; very difficult to live with. Took days to figure out how to disconnect and not use. I didn't want to disturb my stay with repairs, so reported after. The place has everything you need (except for an umbrella; which is apparently dangerous because of the wind). Lovely showers. Bed was comfy. I'd stay again; even with the faulty ceiling fan!
My family and I had a wonderful time! Perfect location and a quick walk to poipu beach to watch the turtles and monk seals. The place was spacious and had everything we needed for our 2 week stay. It was clean, kitchen is well stocked, had 6 beach towels, a large cooler and 4 beach chairs. The washer and dryer came in handy (needs the vent cleaned)
We were in Kauai when there was some flooding and the electricity went out. One of the fans stopped working in the master bedrooms and we let the management team know. They came right over and tried to fix the issue, but was unable. So thank goodness for the extra fans in the closets so we could sleep comfortably. They also fixed a few outlets while they were there. Everyone we met on the property were so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend this rental and hope to visit again!
Very good location and service; some updating would be helpful
Overall rating as excellent. The overall property complex is beautiful and well-kept, with very nice amenities like the pool, BBQs, and tennis/pickleball courts. Parking was easy and we never had a problem finding a space. We were super happy with the proximity to Bernecke Beach (boogie-boarding waves) and Poipu Beach (swimming/snorkeling/turtles) - can't get much closer for an easy walk. Hose-off area by pool when returning from beach was super helpful and nice (and often led to us taking a dip in the pool as well). Staff was friendly and helpful; beach chairs/some boogie boards were provided at our unit and we were able to request some other equipment. Only comment that almost dropped a star for us was that our unit was a bit on the dated side. Overall nothing major, but there were some definite inconveniences like screen doors not being able to be locked (or falling off - which is problematic when relying on openness/breeze for cooling) and a fairly dated and underequipped kitchen (we were saving disposable utensils from eating out to have enough back at the unit). Would also be nice if they'd provide a drying rack or something to have on the patio since (understandably) don't want items hung over the balcony rails. All in all will definitely look to stay here again if/when we come back to Kauai - and just hope perhaps they do a little updating/restocking on units like this in the meantime.
Decent place in Kauai & close to everything in PoiPu.

The place does not have AC. Had to book direct with the property for some reason. They state over the phone that the Expedia booking isn’t valid. Booking direct through them and running CC was a nightmare. Have stayed there in a different time that was a great time and experience. This time and unit was a bust.
We enjoyed our stay at the condo. Although a small view of the ocean (differs from pictures online) - we felt that the closeness to the beach made up for it. The kitchen is a little worn but we were comfortable in the rest of the condo. Would suggest changing from the carpet - would make the place feel cleaner.
We had a great stay at the property. It was hot, so the no air conditioning was a but tough, but we did know about that aheas if time, so it is what it is. The inside is quite a bit dated, with very faded, slightly weird textured carpet, but was very clean despite this. Having a washer and dryer was very convenient. So was having a door from one of the on-suite bathrooms that lead to the hallway so our sister who was staying on the couch bed uostairs could access the bathroom without entering our room in the night.
I loved every part of this experience from booking to check out. Communication was stellar. Our condo was exactly as advertised. The kitchen was fully stocked. The location and view were ideal. We loved walking over to Poipu beach every morning and evening. The complex is nicely landscaped and maintained. We also used the pool several times. The view of the ocean from the pool was very nice. We would definitely want to stay here next time we come. Probably the best short term rental experience we’ve had on the island and we come at least two times a year.
Condo was clean, all typical kitchen utensils available, bedding etc. I only wish, after a 4,000+ mile flight over 11 hrs, we had a road map to show exactly where the condo was located. We were within 1/4 mile of the condo and the written directions didn't appear to match the various roads in the dark. Other than that, the property management were very responsive to our issues (washing machine needed to be repaired while we were there).
We had a lovely week long stay in unit 503. The location was great. We walked to Poipu Beach every day and saw the turtles and monk seals resting on the beach. The swimming was best at the beach in front of the Marriott which was also walking distance. The unit itself is a bit dated but functional. The carpet could stand to be replaced. The unit is one flight up with the living and kitchen area on that level. The bedrooms and both bathrooms are down another flight of stairs (on the ground level). Lots of stairs may be a problem for anyone with mobility issues. The photos are accurate. Small view of the ocean above the neighboring rooftops. We could hear the waves crashing. Pool area was very nice. We had the pool mostly to ourselves. Nice view of the ocean from the lounge chairs.
Unit came equipped with several beach chairs, beach umbrella, coolers, tennis racquets, beach towels.
Great communication with our hosts. Clear check in/out instructions. Friendly staff. This unit has no A/C (which we were aware of) so we utilized the fans provided. Overall great stay. We would stay here again.
