The Turquoise Turtle - AC / Pool / Ocean View

This is one of the only homes in the area with Air Conditioning! This updated, modern condo is light, open and airy. The perfect place to relax in paradise!

The lanai is a great place to watch the waves roll in and, in winter, you may see humpback whales playing off shore -- spouting, breaching and putting on a fabulous show. Enjoy morning coffee here and iced tea or cocktails in the evening.

The resort is quiet and casual with views of the ocean. It is in a residential area with very green, beautiful leafy plants and tropical flowers. There are tennis courts and a shared pool/hot tub in the resort.

There are several beaches within walking distance. A short, scenic walk to the east along the ocean takes you to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwrecks Beach. A short walk to the west takes you to turtle coves, Brennecke's Beach for body surfing, and to famous Poipu Beach for family fun. Poipu Beach Park is a great protected area for swimming, snorkeling, and boogie boarding. There are restrooms, showers and picnic tables. Right across the street is a restaurant and a place to get shaved ice. Poipu Beach Athletic Club has tennis courts. Shopping and restaurants can be found in Kukui'ula Village Shopping Center and Poipu Shopping Village.

If you have dreamed of seeing a sea turtle, look no further than Brennecke's Beach just down the street! You will see sea turtles in the waves of the coves just east of Brennecke's Beach and often turtles and monk seals will sun themselves on the sand of these beaches. Don't miss the sunset from the benches on Makahuena Point on the makai (ocean) side of the pool area.

The home has a full kitchen with granite counters and is fully stocked with appliances, cookware and tableware suitable for fixing anything from a snack to a gourmet meal.

There are two separate bedroom suites complete with private bathrooms. Enjoy the king-sized bed in the primary suite and wake up to the sunrise over the blue Pacific without moving a toe. The guest suite also has a king sized bed.

Both bathrooms have been recently renovated, and the entire home was recently painted. The primary bath has floor-to-ceiling tile with glass block and granite features. The guest bath has a granite counter and new tub and tile. The washer and dryer are located just off the guest suite hallway.

Amazing views!

Property is a bit dated, but the views from the lanai are amazing. The condo is in good shape and the owners have stocked the kitchen well enough to easily cook meals. They also supply beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, coolers, etc. Nice location, easy walking to both Poipu and Shipwreck beaches. Jackie was a great property manager, very quick to respond and provided us with thorough check-in/out instructions.

Lovely place, great view

We loved our stay. The place was nicer than expected. The view out the deck was great. There is an even better view on the property around the corner where you can see the whole coast. It is great for sunsets. We loved the sound of the ocean at night and the birds as well. The pool is lovely, clean, and spacious. Hot tub too. There were lots of beach supplies like boogie boards etc. Right next to the Heritage trail and a moderate walk to 2 great beaches. Great place.

Great

We enjoyed the location of this property and sitting out in the patio. For the most part, the place looked clean, but we found a used towel left hanging on the bathroom door upon check-in and a small cockroach that came in/out from behind the master bathroom mirror! It also gets hot in the master bedroom so we had to keep the sliding door open to allow air-conditioned air in. Overall, despite these two issues, it was a comfortable stay and an even nicer location.

Great location and view

This was a perfect size unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and a large kitchen. Location was close to waterfront trail to Hyatt Hotel and walk to Poipu Beach. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pans, but didn't have any coffee filters or salt/pepper. There was plenty of paper products, but missing bath soap and laundry detergent. When walking with socks, the floor was noticeably dirty. Big selection of beach equipment and large towels. Large TV and easy to use remote. We would definitely book this unit again.

This is a very old property with many steps. I left a detailed list of 17 things that you should know about to rectify which we were not happy with. You can contact the property manager or me for more details. The shower didn’t work, the washer doesn’t fill adequately, dirt and mold in the air conditioner to name a few.

Perfect location condo

We loved staying at this property! There was an easy 1/2 mile coastal walking path with tremendous vistas. We had sunrise views from the balcony & also were fortunate to see whales spouting. There was also a vantage point on property for beautiful sunsets, although we generally enjoyed those from Poipu beach (a 1/2 mile walk the other way). The property was well stocked with kitchenware, washer & dryer, & a smart TV. With the breeze & fans, we were never too hot & were happy not to listen to an a/c compressor. We were very comfortable here & hope to rebook this same unit on our next Kuaui visit. Also, the self check-in was easy & the properties manager Jackie was very quick to respond, courteous, & gracious. We were also surprised with a nice welcome basket containing some local flavors.

Very Noisy Unit

The unit is on the second floor and very noisy with people walking around upstairs at all hours of the night. We would wake up at 3am to the sound of footsteps- and at 6am, etc. so there must be very little insulation between the floors. There are homes being built next door so you see construction debris. The unit was nicely furnished. The linens were nice and the beds comfortable. The very nice thing is the location to the walking path. It is right on the path with easy access.
