About this property

Kuhio Shores Oceanfront Corner Unit

Beautiful oceanfront Poipu condo in the closest complex to the water. This ground floor corner unit in Kuhio Shores offers stunning ocean views from every room, with the seawall and water just steps from your lanai.

This condo features one bedroom with a king bed, fully-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities on each floor, and there is an onsite manager.
Compared to other one bedroom units, our corner unit has several advantages. The view is spectacular--270 degrees. You can look out towards the bay and the green mountains beyond, and all the way around, down the coast of Poipu. Whales, porpoise, surfers and turtles can all be enjoyed out your door. Speaking of privacy, our bedroom is on the ocean side, not along the hallway on the parking lot side. All you hear are the waves, not late night departing or early arriving guests with their suitcases. The corner units are the largest one bedrooms by square footage with a larger living room area. Another advantage of our corner unit is the superior ventilation. Huge bay windows facing into the tradewinds allow flow through ventilation when the ocean side windows or sliding door are open.
And just in case the trade winds don't blow, we have central air conditioning.

This condo features one bedroom with a king bed. Laundry facilities are found on each floor and there is an onsite manager. The fully-equipped kitchen has a blender, microwave, coffee maker, etc. We have beach chairs & umbrella for guests to use.

Come be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves, relax on the lanai to enjoy a drink and watch the surfers, whales, or the family of sea turtles that come in every evening to feed.

What a view
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. The beautiful views and sounds of the ocean were just what we needed. In addition, we enjoyed watching the sea turtles from the lanai. Aside from the beautiful condo and it having everything we needed, the location was highly desirable. This was a perfect place to help us celebrate our 25th anniversary. Thank you! We hope to be back soon!

This place is amazing!!! 10/10
This place is perfect if you love sunshine, hearing the waves, and having fun! The inside was in perfect condition and super nice. Fresh fruit stand was setup directly across the street for breakfast. Beach house restaurant was amazing and less than a min walk. This place is truly the best in complex. Views are incredible. Owner was so helpful and setup that I could get leis delivered and into the unit for our arrival. 10/10

Oceanfront paradise
We really enjoyed our stay at Kuhio Shores. The corner unit was amazing with the views and cross breezes. Daily entertainment of watching surfers right outside our door. The unit was very nice - could use some updates on the interior but overall very nice.

Best VRBO Experience
Most well stocked condo, best artwork and overall decor, best location, and best overall experience of any VRBO we have ever experienced ( out of at least 25 or so). The pics on the VRBO page do not do justice to the location, with excellent views of both sunrise and sunset on the Pacific. Wish we could purchase this condo.

Incredible view
The unit is clean and has an incredible view. The mattress was not the best and my wife did have a sore back after ten days. I recommend that they upgrade the mattress, the beddings and the bathroom towels.

Beautiful condo with some unexpected downsides
First of all, this condo is probably in the first or second best location on the property. The feeling of hearing the ocean before bed and waking up was definitely a highlight. There we beach towels, and beach gear available for use which was awesome (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, and snorkels) It’s in a great location and very close to everything. The people on the property are mostly older couples and families. Everyone was super friendly. The host was responsive with the one request I had (a coffee grinder). A couple of things I wish I had known before booking: You are in a “fish bowl”. There is no privacy because people are constantly walking in front of and around the unit. People set up lawn chairs right in front of the back patio to watch the sunset. Even in the mornings people are right outside your door/windows. There is no privacy, unless you close the curtains, which takes away from the experience. Secondly, there are invasive parrots in the trees that will absolutely firebomb your car with poop. I spent hours scrubbing off the poop from just one night of parking in the wrong spot. (Don’t park under the trees). A couple of minor things that could be improved: Shampoo, conditioner and lotion in bathroom. Complimentary coffee would have been nice (or at least a few keurig pods). Also maybe a few single use laundry soaps (we washed their beach towels while there). Overall, it was a solid four star experience.

Beautiful!!!
Everything was wonderful about this property...the views, the inside...everything was thoughtfully appointed and we were so sad to leave. Our next rental on kauai was far less thoughtful and sadly, was a complete let down after staying here. It's perfect, everything inside was amply provided and comfortable. There was a view too from nearly every room. Outside the views were to die for. We'll definitely be back. Mahalo!

First visit to Kauai
The unit is exactly as represented on line. It is very bright and super clean. The location of the unit in the complex is perfect and is right on the ocean. A great location to access Waimea Canyon and south west sites. An easy drive to the north end of the Island and Princeville. The Beach house restaurant is a 3 minute walk from the unit and is excellent. The host Jennifer was excellent and accessible. Would highly recommend this unit and excellent host.

Kaui Vacation
This property is exactly as described, The kitchen is well equipped with any appliance that you may need. There are spices, coffee filters and a pitcher if filtered water in fridge 👍. The beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment and boogie boards are an added bonus. The location is great with lovely beach a short 5 minute drive, there are lots of great restaurants close by, don’t miss dinner at Table at Poipu or La Spezia. The owners were easy to contact and very accommodating, allowing us to stay late on our departure day which made the long trip home much easier

Oceanfront R&R
Our stay at the oceanfront condo was absolutely wonderful. The unit had wall-to-wall ocean views. It was so wonderful to watch sunrises and sunsets from the patio—and so many turtles! We appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the unit including beach gear, spices for cooking, and lots of cooking utensils. The condo was just a short drive to Sheraton and Poipu beaches (our favorites). There’s also Lawai beach right around the corner and Baby Beach about a ten minute walk. We’d absolutely stay here again! Couldn’t ask for a more relaxing experience.

The most entertaining view on the island
We traveled all over the island since it was our first time here. But at the end of the day our favorite place to be was sitting on the patio watching the turtles and surfers and then the sunset. It was better than being at the beach because we could be close to the water but with a nice manicured lawn to enjoy vs sand everywhere. But if sand is what you crave it’s only a 200 yards down the coast. Air conditioning was fantastic too.

Spectacular Ocean Views
Very nice property right on the ocean. People come every evening from all over the area to admire the sunset from the lawn in front of the Beach House restaurant. As guests of this property, you are a walk of about 200 yards from the perfect vantage point. Great up-close views of the ocean from the indoor living area and the patio adjacent to it. No swimming pool if you feel you need one, but there are numerous beaches within walking distance. Amazingly quiet for the size of the complex.

Kuhio Shores #109 3/6/23
Had a great week, condo was clean, beautiful ocean views; surfers and sea turtle sightings from the lanai kept us entertained when we weren’t out and about. The noisiest thing around the condo were the breaking waves! The unit had just about anything you would need for a beach vacation. (Would have liked to have had shampoo and conditioner available but we managed!) We enjoyed snorkeling at the beach next door and visiting the little snack shop across from it. Several restaurants and a couple of markets were within a mile or so. Fairly central location for visiting the other areas of the island. 😎

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Kiriakos

Host profile image
We are a family of seven (Girls 3, Boys 2) plus 5 grandkids and live in Southern California. We love to travel to new places but always enjoy coming back to our 'Home away from home' on Kauai.

Why they chose this property

The entire family loves the water so Kauai is a perfect place to play. We have owned a condo in Kuhio Shores for over 40 years and purchased this second unit in Spring 2020.
Surfing, boogie boarding, diving, kayaking and enjoying the ocean views and sea life from our condo's lanai makes Kuhio Shores #109 & #309 perfect for us. We can enjoy these activities right out front while other family members can watch from the lanai.

What makes this property unique

Even though we have been coming to Kauai for over 40 years, sometimes several times a year, we still find new things to do and wonders to see. Petroglyphs at Maha'ulepu Beach, the Awa'awapuhi Swamp Trail, Lawai Beach (restricted access), ocean kayaking to Kipu Kai, Kalihiwai rope swing, river Kayaking (Hanalei, Waimea, Kalihiwai), swimming behind Hanakapi'ai Falls on the Napali coast, Secret Beach, the list goes on. Our condo is central, 1 hr. from the west end of Polihale Beach and 90 minutes to the other end at Ke'e Beach. Of course sometimes the best thing is just to kick back on our lanai and watch the whales, surfers and turtles with a cold drink in hand.
