Kainani Villa 5: Luxurious Indoor-Outdoor Living
About this villa rental
This dazzling resort-style, garden-level condominium home is, quite simply, perfect—and what better way to enjoy your South Shore stay than in a comfortably luxurious, exquisitely appointed hideaway with spectacular views. Savor sun-splashed mornings on the capacious lanai, painterly sunsets every evening, and refreshing dips in the private plunge pool anytime you like. Relax in the spa-inspired master bath, with its sleek soaking tub and enchanting outdoor lava-rock-walled shower. Entertain guests in the expansive, casually elegant indoor-outdoor living area, which adjoins a gourmet kitchen fully equipped with glossy Quartzite countertops; custom hardwood cabinetry; stainless-steel Miele appliances; and a lyrical view of the distant, deep-blue sea. (The kitchen also features a cozy counter for quick meals or chef-watching, and there’s a built-in, full-size BBQ setup on the nearby lanai, as well.) Finally, rest up for the next blissful day in one of the airy, attractively furnished bedrooms: One with a king bed and two with Queens, all made up with deluxe, high-end Frette linens. Everywhere you look, there are pleasant surprises and first-class details. Lush tropical landscaping, including a pretty little lawn; gorgeous sand colored stone tiles in the master bath; atmospheric ceiling fans; natural finish blinds and sliding doors for privacy or shade; and so many more. Then there’s the ideal location: close to everything the world-famous Poipu resort area has to offer. It’s a short walk or bike ride—or a quick drive—to the all-day delights of The Shops at Kukui‘ula: a super-popular, plantation style shopping center with an appealing roster of excellent restaurants, captivating stores, local entertainment, and special events, including a lively, must-visit Culinary Market every Wednesday. A few minutes away by car, you’ll find literally dozens of amazing beaches, intriguing sight¬seeing destinations, and more shopping centers, each with its own distinctive ambience. Just outside The Shops at Kukui‘ula is the famous Poipu traffic circle or round-about — a magical jumping-off point for all the scenic and cultural wonders of the island. Head west for stunning, relatively deserted beaches; rustic, charming towns like Hanapepe and Kalaheo; vast, majestic Waimea Canyon; and the upcountry charm of Koke‘e. Look to the east for notable beaches, harbors, waterfalls, and larger towns such as Lihue—site of the main airport. To the north, of course, there are laid-back hamlets and the almost supernatural beauty of the North Shore, whose iconic beaches and thrilling vistas have been immortalized on film, year after year.

Our group really enjoyed our stay in this condo. It is clean, well-maintained, well-stocked and very comfortable. The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed visits from a neighbor’s cat. The construction next door was not overly intrusive with the area being very quiet otherwise. The location close to shops was great.

We have been fortunate to visit to Kauai multiple times, and this was our favorite place to stay yet. Everything was ready, clean, comfortable, felt welcoming and very nice, plus we had ample basic supplies like paper goods, towels, and pots and pans, etc that made the stay feel relaxed and convenient. The location was excellent, easy to find and an easy distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We would stay in the exact unit again on our next visit!

The property was in a nice residential community situated on a golf course. The beaches were a short drive away and very convenient to get to from the property. Nearby shopping center for groceries and supplies for our weeklong stay. Close to lots of restaurants as well by the beach. Enjoyed a glorious sunset dinner at the Beach House as well as nice panoramic views of the ocean dining outside.An adequate number of toiletries, towels, robes, and kitchen supplies along with coffee were provided. The only complaint is that we requested bedding for the sofa bed which they promised to drop off that did not make it. Otherwise, everything else was great. Also, having the beach chairs with the umbrella was well appreciated for our trips to the beach.
5.0
The property was perfection. Very well designed with a comfortable, but elegant, tropical inspiration.
The villa was very roomy for a three bedroom, and had a stunning view! Opening the large glass sliders lends to a much larger great space where you can enjoy the lanai & the small plunge pool.
The kitchen had high end appliances and everything you could need if choosing to cook in while vacationing.
It was a perfect location for a family of four.
We look forward to staying here again!!!

We really enjoyed our time at this property. It has great proximity to many beaches and shopping centers. The property is very clean and seems recently built. We would stay there again and recommended to anyone coming to stay. The sliding glass doors were gorgeous, and we had a great view of the ocean and sunset. They had Sonos speakers that you could play music from in every room. The outdoor shower was awesome. The front door automatically locks so watch out for that.
A few small minor changes:
-The water temperature did not get very hot
-The washing machine had a mold smell
-The pool was a little cold
-!

Gorgeous, well-maintained, and very comfortable property with a beautiful kitchen and outdoor area, where we spent most of our time. The floor to ceiling window/walls are the highlight of the property, as is the outdoor shower.
There was construction next door (which we were aware of, and management had offered us alternative properties if we wanted), but it didn't end up being very bothersome as we were out most of the day, and the noise was fairly minimal. The workers were also friendly.
Concierge assonance with booking activities was also helpful and a plus.
Overall, really happy with our stay.

We loved our weeklong stay at this villa. It was such a convenient location to Poipu Beach and we took advantage of it. Loved how clean the house was and it had everything we needed from the get go. House also came with an umbrella and beach chairs so we were prepared. Highly recommend and would definitely return for another family vacation!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. The views are even more stunning than the photos show. It was in a great location that felt central to everything we planned during our trip to Kauai.

We really enjoyed this place. Good location. It was very clean and the outside area was terrific. There was some construction next door with some fencing that obstructed part of the view, but it wasn’t bad. We would book this place again.
5.0
Beautiful in every way. Brand spanking new and first class. Luxurious primary suite. Comfy beds. Every bedroom is an ensuite. Kitchen is gourmet all the way with Meile appliances. Covered outdoor dining with Wolf grill was the bomb! No heat or jets available in the spa pool, which was disappointing.
5.0
This property did not disappoint. It is as amazing as it looks in the pictures and better. Since the upstairs owner was not not there for our entire visit we were able to enjoy the property and is was very quite and private. We used the plunge pool every day, what a luxury. We enjoyed sunsets every evening. Yes, there is construction going on every weekday from 630am to about 4 or 5pm and it.was a bit of a bummer. But with all the growth in paradise that the price you pay. We enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave.

This condo and property couldn’t have been more spectacular! The home and tropical yard are absolutely beautiful. It has a distant view of the ocean and is located in a quiet neighborhood with nice walking paths. This will not disappoint!

Perfection in Poipu was exactly that!! The accommodations were lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed spending time out and about the island as well relaxing at the house, slash pool and lanai. We will absolutely make this our destination the next time we visit Kauai.

The condo is lovely, with modern and high end appliances and finishes. The grounds were immaculate, and the area was in close proximity to everything we needed. It was a lovely space for our friend group to enjoy our vacation, and act as our base of operations for all of our wonderful island adventures.
We did have a couple of maint issues, that just come with the territory, but the management staff were extremely quick to respond, and immediately sent out very professional and friendly (they gave use some really good local recommendations too) staff to remedy the issues.
We would absolutely stay with here again, and highly recommend Wailani Kauai.

Why did your office tell us that there would be no construction during our stay at KAINANI VILLA #5? Yet noise of hammering, loud construction vehicle sounds, protracted penetrating reverse beeping of those vehicles, as well as construction worker’s loud conversations were disruptive every day, except the weekends. The noise was heard both outside the patio areas as well as inside, preventing us from finding the quite solace we expected at this “luxury property” on our precious vacation time. Disappointment is an understatement. Plus your office promised a compensation discount should there be any chance of disruption, of which you did not provide.
5.0
This property spoiled us entirely! Top notch finishes, luxurious linens, and beautiful ocean views! The unit is on the bottom floor of a bungalow with a private pool. If you are looking for privacy with a single house feel, this is the place for you. The location is close to the airport and shopping but far enough away to truly experience Kauai’s beauty. The property is beautifully maintained with full-sized laundry and kitchen and upscale beach chairs and cooler for beach outings, only a short 5-minute drive away. Access to the property manager was a simple phone call. We felt welcomed from the moment we stepped in!

We highly recommend Kailani Villa 5 for your family and vacation. Everything about this booking was first class. All of the communications have been friendly and pleasant and full of information and help. The villa itself is of a very high standard of furnishings, decoration and cleanliness. In our experience the owners also paid attention to the small details that can catch travelers out on a short trip such as beach towels, chairs, an umbrella and cool box for the beach, and then ice already in the freezer! The views are wonderful, facing right into the settling sun, and the patio is nicely shielded from the trade winds. It was a lovely trip, thank you.

We had a great stay. The property is very well kept and with all the modern appliances. Great location, and awesome floor plan.
Awesome hospitality - very responsive and courteous. They addressed the questions promptly. Having the beach chairs and umbrella was very helpful. Would surely recommend this property to everyone.

My family and I have stayed at various Vrbo rentals for as long as I can remember, and this house was HANDS DOWN, the most spectacular one yet. I cannot recommend it more fully; the house itself was gorgeous and spotless, it was accessible to town and the beach, and the management company was a pleasure to work with. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Great vacation home
The home is more beautiful in person. Our master bedroom and bath had a view of the ocean as well as the kitchen and living room. The open air living room and patio make you feel like you are at a 5 star resort. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. Great for our adult children who were on vacation with us. The location is perfect for everything we were doing in Poipu, Koloa and Lihue. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful villa on the south side of Kauai
The Villa was immaculate. It was myself and my husband and two adult kids & their spouses. The Villa was close to the Poipu beach, shops, and excursions. Would recommend others to stay here. The Villa will not disappoint. We will be back to stay.

High quality modern condo in good location
The property is impressive - spacious, modern, sparkling clean and luxurious. The absolute highlights were the sliding doors that completely open up the living room area, the spacious patio, and the amazing master bathroom with tropical outdoor shower. We loved the condo so much that we spent most evenings there, cooking our own food on the BBQ and lounging on the patio. An added bonus was a friendly neighbor cat that stopped by every night. The plunge pool actually seemed to be a spa but we couldn't find the controls and were told by the maintenance staff that guests are not supposed to use the jets, which was our only regret.
The location is also pretty good - it has great views especially around sunset, it's a quiet neighborhood away from everything, yet close to Poipu. I also find this to be the best location to stay on the island as it has consistently good weather and nothing takes too long to drive to (25 min to Waimea, 1h to Hanalei).

Excellent rental with high quality furnishings and finishes
This property is a stunner. The pictures as well as the documentation presented post-rental is accurate. I had to record a short visit through the master bath for a friend of ours who happens to be renting the same unit right after our trip is over. Only three minor warnings, which are not enough to lower the rental unit ratings. You spice rack consists of salt, paper, and olive oil. The ice maker is broken or non-functional (buy a bag of ice at the store). The appliances are European (Miele) so it takes a while to guess your way through some of the function - but they worked fine. The A/C runs very well and there is a bonus of a garage door opener for the unit's garage. If we were to come back to this location, we certainly would consider renting again.

Because the villa is set up on a hill in the beautiful Kukui’ula development, it has a great view of the surrounding area including the ocean. Sunsets are great to watch here. The villa is very high end. The indoor and outdoor areas flow into one giant space. The master bathroom has separate spaces for two people with gorgeous waterfall granite countertops. Appliances are all top notch Miele brand. Everything in this villa is very well taken care of and in pristine condition. One night when we came home from dinner, we discovered we locked ourselves out of the home. We were so grateful and impressed that within 10 minutes, the property manager was there to help out. He was kind and understanding even though it was late. Property managers very quick to respond throughout the entire process. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay!

The villa is beautiful. We especially enjoyed the outdoor living and dining spaces, and the spacious primary bath. The villa was immaculate, with comfortable beds and soft linens. The pool is not heated so we weren't able to use it this time of year, like we had hoped. We would love to come back and stay here again.
