About this property

Poipu Oceanfront, 10 steps to ocean

Kuhio Shores is on the sunny South Shore of Poipu Beach and is small and quiet. It extends out into the ocean so that there is water on each side. Our condo has an expansive ocean view from wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and dining room. The ocean is just 10 steps away from the lanai!

Our condo is on the ocean side of the building with great views of the surfers, dolphins, turtles and sunsets! The condo has 5 Ft more window, living room and lanai space than the other ocean side one bedrooms at Kuhio Shores and is as close as you can possibly get to the waters edge.

Best of all, our condo is on the ground level so you can walk out directly on the lawn and be surrounded by ocean, sky and surf. You can walk around to nice beaches on each side of the building that are famous for snorkeling and surfing. The lanai is also a great place to lounge and soak up the sun and ocean breeze. Or to just watch the waves, birds, porpoises, turtles, whales, and surfers!

Beautiful Stay
5 stars all around for this Kauai stay in Poipu. It is the closest you will get to the ocean. Short walk to the beach for snorkel and Beach House restaurant. We saw whales from the patio and turtles near by. We had everything we needed for a 1 week trip.

Perfect Stay
The condo was clean and in an amazing location. We loved having coffee on the patio every morning while listen to the waves crash just steps away. Right next door is the Beach House for delicious drinks and watching the sunset. We snorkeled almost every day at the small beach just 2 minute walk away. We saw an abundance of fish and even some turtles. The condo came with a couple coolers and beach chairs that came in very handy. Jack was very easy to communicate with. We loved our stay.

Outstanding Location
Breathtaking vista immediately upon walking through the door. Hard to believe that waves are crashing just 50 feet from the patio. Lush grass to walk on to take in the sunsets and sunrises. Easy and walkable access to food, shopping, beaches. The condo was clean and comfortable. Jack was easy to communicate with.

Great overall property and perfect location
Loved being right on the ocean. Opened the windows and slept like a baby every night. Close to several beaches and the two primary shopping and dining areas. The condo was in great shape and the perfect size and layout for a couple to stay. Coffee each morning steps from the ocean was exceptional. The host was super responsive as well. It was an amazing week!

Awesome Condo next to Shore-Line!
Great condo, right next to Ocean and just a few steps away from the Beach House Restaurant. Early morning sun rise & set are beautiful from the patio. Whale sightings from a distance (spouts, etc.) and turtles right next to the shore-line. Jack continued to check on us as well which was very much appreciated. We will want to stay here again!

Perfect spot to relax and explore in Kauai
Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Amazing views of sunrise, sunset. and turtles surfing the waves right outside the patio door. Comfortable bed, excellent AC and fans, beach chairs/umbrella and towels, and a responsive host made our stay relaxing. Beach and restaurants are in walking distance, some steps away! Rented a car through Turo to explore the island. We’ll be back!

This is a great location and beautiful views from this first floor condo. Perfect for my wife and me for her birthday celebration. She just wanted to see whales and we did right from the lanai several times. Also, only a half mile walk to shops and restaurants. We will be back.

Exceeded our expectations!
We love Kuhio Shores, especially the ground level condos. This was our first stay at 115 and we were very pleased with the beautiful renovations done (much to our surprise) and the central location of the unit. Jack was very helpful in allowing us to check in a bit early which made everything go so smoothly. We had everything we needed for a wonderful stay at our favorite place. We will be booking 115 again and soon! Mahalo Jack!

Wow! Just Wow!!! Everyone thing was just as advertised. The only problem, words can’t really describe how good it is. The condo location is perfect. Spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Beautiful beaches close by. Jack answered all questions quickly. There is just no way the stay could have been any better!

Oceanside Condo in a Great Location with Beautiful Views
We stayed at the Condo for 10 days. It was better than advertised. It was very clean, the views were spectacular, and the condo had some nice updates and all the essentials for a great stay. The communication with the owner was also excellent. The owner checked in with us a couple times during our stay and helped to answer any questions we had and helped solve a minor problem we had during our stay. We would definitely stay here again. It was a great home base for our entire trip and we miss it already 🙂. I personally preferred this side of the Island versus the other areas on the Island, we visited most of the island during our stay and were very happy that we decided on this condo and location for our stay. Many restaurants, shopping, beaches, and attractions were also nearby. Can’t wait to go back again someday.

Nice location and condo
35 ft from the ocean- fabulous sunrises and sunsets. Some great whale watching from the lanai. Well stocked kitchen with really nice pans, coffee maker, and a nice assortment of spices. Listening to the crashing surf day and night was amazing but sometimes overwhelming! Cons- no baking or mixing dishes in the kitchen which made cooking some things difficult. The lanai umbrella was broken making it difficult to be outside in the intense sun. There just was no relief from the intense sun. There was a beach umbrella left by a previous guest ( not supplied by owner) but that was broken also. The TV kept going out and needed to be reset. The bed is only a queen. My husband thought it was pretty firm. I thought it was ok but both of us had problems with the sheets. They were the type that retain heat and with the humidity, it made for uncomfortable sleeping. While there is snorkeling on either side of the condo complex, the waves were so intense and the area so rocky, we found it difficult to snorkel there. We preferred going to Poipou Beach which isn’t far at all. Overall, a very nice location. A nice but slightly dated condo. The owner is fantastic! Great communicator and was very flexible.

steps to the ocean
We loved our stay at Kuhio Shores. It is our favorite thing to just walk out of the sliding glass door, onto the grass, 10 steps to the ocean. The condo was clean and our communication with Jack and Dorinda was seamless. Will definitely stay again.

Delightful Surprise! Every aspect of accommodation was provided... but the LOCATION was the BEST!
So delightful watching sunrises and sunsets from the lanai. The breakers were magnificent and full of surfers (and turtles!). Centrally located for walking or driving to fun shops, restaurants, beaches and the wonderful beauty of Kauai! Thank you Jack and Dorinda for an unforgettable vacation! ...we'll be back!

What an amazing view!
We loved being on the first floor so we could walk right out onto the grass and enjoy the sun and surf in the day and sunsets and stars every night. Although they were included in the listing; there was no washer and dryer available but otherwise it was great and well equipped! The kitchen looks new and is very nice. We would definitely rent there again!
