About this property

NEW Ten Steps from Breaking Surf in Poipu

  • Summary:

    At this Kuhio Shores home, the water's edge is about 10 steps away, so the sound and sight of breaking surf become part of every meal. The two-bedroom, two-bath condo sleeps four and opens into a large living area where the kitchen, dining space, and windows keep the Pacific in view. Partial air conditioning and a washer and dryer add welcome comfort after the beach. Lawai Beach sits beside the property, and Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach are close for a more traditional sand-and-swim day. Surfing and diving are nearby when the group wants an active outing, while Kukui'ula is handy for provisions and dinner. It works beautifully for a family or two couples who want their Kauai stay to begin at the shoreline, not across a parking lot.



    The Space:

    Two sets of sliding doors and a wall of windows bring the ocean into the kitchen, dining area, living room, and main bedroom. The 1,059-square-foot plan has two bedrooms, two baths, and room for four. The full kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and granite counters. Partial air conditioning and a washer and dryer support longer beach days, while the open layout keeps the group connected.



    Guest Access:

    Guests at Kuhio Shores enjoy access to the oceanfront communal pool, hot tub, and fitness center, plus lush garden grounds throughout the complex. An elevator and disabled parking spot make getting around easy, and the beachfront setting puts sand and surf just steps from your lanai. Accessible-height beds and toilets are available for added comfort.



    The Neighborhood:

    Poipu's South Shore is known for sunny weather, beaches, and easy access to ocean activities. Lawai Beach is immediately beside Kuhio Shores, with surfing and diving in the area, while Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach are close when the day calls for broad sand and swimming. Head toward Kukui'ula for restaurants and groceries after the beach. This location gives families and two-couple groups an unusually close relationship with the water while keeping practical stops nearby.



    Getting Around:

    Lihue Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away, a pretty drive across Kauai's south shore. A rental car is recommended to reach Poipu's beaches, Koloa town's shops, and nearby dining with ease. Old Koloa Town is walkable for boutiques and restaurants, while beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. Parking is generally available on site or in small lots around town.



    Other Things to Note:

    **Please be advised that the exterior spalling project is underway and may affect guests staying in the impacted units.

Nice condo with perfect views

Condo was nice and clean and roomy enough for 2 couples. The view from the lanai was perfect. Guaranteed to see turtles. Snorkeling next door is also great with plenty of nice fishes and turtles. There was not much flexibility about check in and check out times but it was not a big issue. We liked our stay and would come back.

Pros and cons

Pros: located directly overlooking the beach. Comfortable bed. Good quality sheets and towels. Very quiet and clean.Cons: The master bathroom is a niche in the wall of the bedroom. Shower opens directly into the room. Sink/commode combo is tiny. Barely room to turn around. Bed has huge 4 posters and nearly fill the space. Night time potty includes hitting your head.The kitchen island is too close to the sink, and the fridge door opens in the opposite direction. You have to exit the opposite end, walk around the island in order to open the fridge.The place is crying for a new coat of paint and and refresh. Don’t let this stop you. The pros outweigh the cons.

Gorgeous views! There are pros and cons.

Pros: Massive space with views that just absolutely CANNOT be beat. Had all the beach amenities you need. We saw a turtle in the ocean and watching surfers every night from our condo was so cool and fun. The AC works very very well and each room has its own climate control. Kitchen was fully stocked which is so helpful. Cons: When we got there, there was no parking pass and the managers told us to go on a hunt looking in all the drawers and stuff. That isn’t the guests job to go on a manhunt during their vacation for a little piece of paper. No washer and dryer and one load of laundry will cost you $5. There was no dish soap. Manager did get it to us 24 hours later. Coffee pot is super tiny and barely makes 2 cups of coffee. Management should really get a bigger coffee maker for such a nice big condo with 2 rooms. It costs $50 on Amazon, haha. Overall there were slight inconveniences but the view just can’t be beat and the condo was very comfortable. The pictures on the listing don’t even do it justice. Condo was amazing and we’d stay here again.
