When we booked it was the view that hooked us.. and then we discovered so much more!
We came to Kauai to enjoy a different type of Hawaii vibe. The first night we wandered into the restaurant next door.. little did we know it was such a hot spot .. we cheered with the crowd as we toasted the green flash ! Morning coffee on the Lanai and watching whales in the distance. We kayaked the with Wailua river with Kauai Kayak and came home to a cool and comfortable spot to watch the sunset on another awesome day. We laughed when our snorkel tour led us to the place right next door that we had checked out the day before. Thanks to Kauai Z-Tourz for putting names to the fishy faces and showing all the best spots.
Lawa’i Beach is a great place in the January surf! Check out Eden Coffee right down the street. What a wonderful home base for a comfy bed and a hot shower. Thank you!

Kuhio Shores # 418Stay Dec 8-21, 2023We will be back! This is the best unit we’ve found at Kuhio Shores! Several advantages: The bedroom windows are on the outside of the building Not opening to the exterior walkway – more secure and better breezes. The furniture is comfortable and not overly nice/fussy, so we could feel at home. The condo itself is in great condition, nothing broken or needing to be refreshed, AND very clean. That doesn’t even begin to cover the view! Stunning!Many thanks to property managers, Vicki and Cher Lani at Poipu365. Any (small) issues we mentioned were resolved the same day I texted! Vicki even came by just after we checked in to deliver our welcome package. Really appreciated Cher Lani’s patience with all my questions before booking.

Absolutely stunning location with gorgeous views in every direction. The perfect spot on the South Side - close to all the beaches, shopping and dining. When you walk in there's so much water you feel like you're on a cruise ship! My family of five loved our stay.

Reviewer Comments:
Amazing views of the water and a spacious and well laid-out condo. Great snorkeling just steps away and quick access to Longs, ice cream, Poipu and Brenecke Beaches. Many amenities in this well-stocked unit. The living room and kitchen floors had highly-visible amounts of food (bread crumbs?) on the tile and the area-rugs, and we found garbage under the couch (we had to move it to place a blow up bed). The lanai needed a thorough sweeping and the kitchen table looked like it had been wiped with something greasy (no glass cleaner anywhere in the house to clean it with), toaster was dirty. Towels were lacking for a party of 5, and one blow-up mattress lacked a pump and was un-useable. I left a message about that but never heard back. The water was undrinkable, even for making coffee, and it would be a nice gesture to get a Brita filter or something for renters to not have to purchase loads of bottled water. A lovely stay overall, but not for the December pricing. We also rented a very similar unit in Poipu Shores (unit 303A) that was gorgeous (more up to date), extremely clean and half the cost for the exact same dates.

The views from this unit were utterly spectacular (10/10!) and if that’s the only thing that matters to you, this is an amazing place to stay. For our group of 4 60-ish year olds, the beds were really uncomfortable, there was zero privacy even with bedroom doors closed, too few towels, toilets were ridiculously loud (although functional), and the bedding was old and furnishings dated. The management was very responsive though, and the gym - Poipu Beach Club - which is included, was a great bonus. Would love to give this a 5/5, just can’t.

My family of four loved staying in Kuhio Shores 418. It afforded us the perfect opportunity to enjoy Poipu while also providing amazing ocean views. It was so relaxing to wake up every morning hearing the waves crashing and seeing expansive views of the water. Details such as included beach gear and a champagne bottle upon arrival were a nice touch as well. Overall, this is a fantastic option for anyone seeking a two bedroom condo in Poipu with oceanfront views.

Been to Kuhio Shores 15 years ago and it’s still the same. Beautiful ocean front , on the reef front building.
We went all in on this 4th floor South West end unit. Views were spectacular and other than some pesky nats on the lanai 5 out of 6 days, everything about this unit is amazing. AC! Fans, comfortable master bed and great appointments. Smart tvs and everything you need to cook your brains out , we did mostly breakfast. Poipu has a lot of great food and bars, The Beach House can make some noise till 9:30ish if a wedding or live music is playing, your right next door. Mahalo

We loved this unit! The description and photos were spot on. The furniture was attractive and comfortable. The unit was very clean. We appreciated having a well appointed kitchen. They even provided multiple pairs of swim fins. Fabulous location located only minutes from Poipu beach and a great selection of restaurants, Merriman's being our favorite! You can't beat the location. Great snorkeling right outside the condo. We had great customer service - very responsive. We would definitely choose this unit again. The parakeets that nested in the tree right outside the window each night were so much fun to watch. A very low key area on Kauai but close to everything you would want to do.

This is a beautiful condo in a prime location. The condo is well furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. The views are incredible, there is an excellent snorkeling location nearby, several nice restaurants are within walking distance. We wanted a mid-stay cleaning and the property management company was able to arrange it at a very convenient time for us. We had a wonderful stay and are already planning a return visit.

Our fourth stay at one of the Kuhio Shores condos and we hope it isn't our last. We leave the nearby snorkeling and product to the Beach House Restaurant.

We really enjoyed our stay. The views from our deck and living room were phenomenal. We enjoyed sunsets and watching surfers, turtles, and dolphins.
The condo was clean and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped to make simple meals. The air conditioning kept us nice and cool. The location was very convenient.
There were a couple negatives, but definitely not dealbreakers for renting this condo again. The bathroom doors are louvered, so they may not provide as much sound protection as one would like for privacy. The restaurant next door has weddings and events, so the music can be loud until about 10:30pm.
Regardless, I would love to stay here again for our next visit.

This home has a fantastic view. We were a little bothered by the noise next door at the beach house restaurant. There seemed to be a wedding almost very night we stayed. We have stayed in this house numerous times and it always draws us back. It could use some updates . The beds are very comfortable. The pots & pans are terrible, old & everything sticks. We were very disappointed that the washer & dryer were removed from this unit. The stove/ oven didn’t work but my husband was able to fix it. He is good with trouble shooting & fixing most problems. Over all the view is amazing & the vacation was awesome.

Arriving at The Penthouse unit 418 at Kuhio Shores will leave you breathless once you walk into the living room! The panoramic views of the crashing waves to the sunset views will make you want to stay all day at the unit! We woke up and made coffee every morning before sunrise, and went to bed early! Four 60-year-old lifetime friends enjoying catching up and experiencing beautiful Kauai! The Athletic club membership with the pool and slide is a huge bonus. We will be back!

Beautiful views! You would be a miser to complain about this property. :) Love the deck and watching sea turtles out on the cove.
It is right next to a restaurant and there was a wedding partying loudly until 9:30 one night. So if silence is required, give a second thought… but otherwise have fun with them!
