About this property

Luxury Oceanfront Air-Conditioned 2 bedroom Condo Rental- 35 Feet from the Water

Open the door to our beautiful second home in Kauai and know you are in paradise. There is nothing between you and the vast blue ocean, just 35 feet away, which is framed by a wall to wall expanse of floor to ceiling windows. The soothing sounds of the ocean fill the condo and the whispering trade winds carry the island fragrances inside. Air-conditioned for those few days when the trade winds are stilled. This is absolutely one of the most desirable locations and condos on Kauai. Relax on the spacious lanai offering unbeatable views of rainbows, whales, sea turtles, and the best surfing action in all of Poipu.
The condo projects out from the surrounding units and offers an expansive ocean view with its wrap-around windows. Visitors come from all over the island to photograph the gorgeous sunsets at the adjacent Beach House Restaurant and the same view is available from our condo. Our second floor location provides both privacy and security. The furniture is Hawaiian style rattan and the artwork is island themed. Tile and bamboo floors complete the tropical look. The spacious lanai accommodates four very comfortably. The condo is equipped with everything we could think of to make your vacation perfect including two large flat panel TVs with DVD players, a telescope and binoculars for whale watching, and all the comforts of home. Beach equipment for your day trips include four quality beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach towels, boogey boards, sand toys, and beach coolers.
Each of the two bedrooms has a king size bed, a ceiling fan, a large closet, and plenty of storage. The windows in the bedrooms have plantation shutters and face the mountains, allowing you to sleep easy as the trade winds sweep through the unit. Two twin size floor mattresses and a portable crib/playpen are available for children and babies. Both bathrooms feature large marble showers, spacious vanities and sinks, and bamboo theme faucets and hardware. The kitchen was fully remodeled in 2012 and has solid cherry plantation style cabinets and granite counter tops. It is fully equipped with all new top of the line KitchenAid appliances. A Cuisinart blender, coffeemaker, toaster, top quality pots and pans, and numerous gadgets make your culinary adventures enjoyable. The Kuhio Shores BBQ area has two high quality propane barbecues with barbeque utensils conveniently located for your use. Then bring your food inside and dine at the glass and rattan table surrounded by the ocean. Seating is available for two more at the bar.
If you like to snorkel or surf, you'll love this spot even more. Directly to the right is sandy Lawai Beach that Sunset Magazine once named the best snorkeling spot on the south shore of Kauai. When the south swell hits, surf spots Smokey's, PK's, Centers and Acid Drop are perfect and located literally downstairs. Enjoy an easy walk to the upscale shops and restaurants at the Kukuiula Shopping Center or get your morning exercise by walking to Spouting Horn (one of the most photographed sites on Kauai) or to the famous Allerton Botanical Garden. Less than a 5 minute car ride takes you to historic Koloa Town, the grounds of the Grand Hyatt Resort, and the stunning Poipu Beach (ranked by the Travel Channel as one of the best beaches in the world).

Great spot for a winter break

This property is as close to the water as promised. When I slouched on the sofa, it created the optical illusion of the waves coming right under the balcony. The property provided a very comfortable and convenient place to stay on Kauai.

Lovely condo, not so great complex

The condo has mesmerizing views and with two sides glass windows to the living room . The ocean thunders right into your living room. The bedrooms are dark and a bit musty. The living room has too much furniture and hard to move around. There are a huge number of beach accessories, chairs etc. which is great.The privacy is a little low and the neighbors are a little rude (only a few). A little away from swimming beaches, ideal for surfing. The floors had sand if you walked bare foot. Seemed pricey for what it offered. Host was responsive.

Wonderful view

The view from the lanai is amazing. Every morning we'd have coffee watching the surfers. You truly are just feet from the coastline. The unit has comfortable Hawaiian furniture and a very tropical feel. Kitchen has everything you need. There are lots of things for spending the day at the beach--chairs, umbrella, cold chest. Lovely unit.

Awesome Oceanfront Condo

This condo's location provided the perfect opportunity to hear and view crashing surf. It's conveniently located and allows you to access both Princeville and Waimea easily. The condo was nicely outfitted and comfortable and had everything you could possibly need for a stay in Hawaii. It really helped to make our trip to Kauai special and memorable.

You can't get more oceanfront than this!! Sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and watching the surfers every morning was so peaceful. The beach house is right next door and is our very favorite place to eat. The unit has been very well taken care of and very clean. We would love to rent this unit again in the future.

Just Perfect

My wife and I decided to come to Kauai for our honeymoon. We love to explore and experience as much as we can so we divided our trip into 2 parts. Starting on the south shore and then heading to the north. This property, the south shore and all it had to offer were all perfect. The property itself had an amazing oceanfront view. There were Dolphins, sea turtles, fish, crabs and surfers enjoying the ocean right out front of the condo. We went snorkeling at the beach and there were so many different kinds of fish. The beach house restaurant next to the condo, along with every other restaurant on the south shore, were absolutely phenomenal. There was no shortage of things to do! The hostess was hands down the best hostess that we’ve had the pleasure of staying “with”. She had coolers, towels, snorkels, chairs and everything you needed for a beach day ready to go on site. Any issues we may have been having, she was very quick to respond and help get it figured out. All around we HIGHLY recommend this stay and this hostess . It was PERCECT!

Family Vacation

Condo was really nice inside and well appointed with everything you need to enjoy time inside and all the things you need to go explore the beach (chairs, ice chest, boogie boards). Incredible views and super close to the water! We spent each morning on the incredible balcony drinking coffee, eating breakfast and watching a spectacualr surfing show from the locals! And you can watch giant sea turtles each day right from your own balcony! Close to all the activities too. Loved this place!

Kawai Oceanside

This property was just what we were looking for in a home-base for our first time to Kawai. Access was very easy with stairs just outside the unit entrance that lead down to an adequate-sized parking lot where we were able to park at the bottom of the stairs most of the time. The unit itself is comfortable. There are lots of windows for ventilation and there are lockable privacy screen doors in the master bedroom and in the living room that allow the ocean breezes to flow right through the unit. We also appreciated having air conditioning since we are used to colder temperatures to sleep in. The views were unbeatable. Our eyes were always on the ocean, and on the surfers riding the waves. We were on the lanai first thing in the morning with our coffee and last thing at night before we went to bed. The kitchen worked really well for our family of four and had the basics we needed. We would not hesitate to recommend this unit or stay here again.

AWESOME AMAZING OWNERS!

We love staying at Kuhio Shores due to its location, views and amenities! This was the first time staying in this particular condo, but we have stayed at Kuhio Shores at least 9 times! Susan was amazing from check in to check out, allowing us to change the dates, and stay longer! The condo had absolutely everything we needed and more! If you are debating between condos, this is the best choice!

Great place but a few issues

The location was great and the unit was great. The third and fourth days we were there it rained really hard and water dripped from the ceiling the whole time. It was coming in to the unit above us I think. Also, we had to leave after five nights of our eleven nights due to covid19 and we didn’t get a partial refund or credit, nothing!

Excellent condo, gorgeous views of turtles!

Beautiful 2-bedroom unit. Well appointed furniture with tile throughout. Kitchen nook has windows on both sides, including a rare (for this condo complex) view west, to see the wonderful sunsets. AC in one bedroom only, but the fan in the other bedroom sucked the AC into the room from the living room unit, so it was fine. Local contact very responsive....front door combo lock wasn't working and she came to look at it right away. Kuhio Shores is an absolute find. This is our 5th stay at one of the units here and we will surely be back. It is our fave place to stay in Kauai.

Great location- panoramic ocean view

Great south Kauai location, panoramic views of the ocean from sunrise to sunset. Surfers out front are entertaining. Excellent snorkeling right next-door. Local food trucks and markets, along with restaurants for great eating experiences. Highly recommended and would absolutely love to stay there again. Air conditioning which is a plus but with cross breezes only needed it part time during August stay.

Excellent, convenient location. Surf perfect surf and sunset views lanai.Great restaurant next door.

The property has everything needed for a great outer island vacation - at your fingertips. Having AC was great - important because Poipu can get hot and stuffy. Parking not a problem. The property was clean and well maintained. We’ve stayed at many VRBOs, and you never really know what you’ll get until you walk in the door. This unit is one of the very best. You can have complete confidence in this property booking sight unseen. Highly recommended.
