Perfect location and stay
Great location - steps away from Poipu beach where sea turtles come and rest on the beach daily. Beautiful view - right in the water. Loved watching waves crashing, dolphins and turtles swimming right from our balcony. Star gazing at night. Condo was well stocked with everything you need. A perfect stay in Kauai!!!

Spectacular views
The property was very well equipped, down to beach chairs and umbrellas. Nice size, good layout. Cynthia was a dream as a host. Anytime we contacted her she immediately responded and helped. For example some error code came up on the oven and within thirty minutes she had someone at our door to take care of it. But, the view from the living room and the patio was remarkable. Waves crashing on the rocks, the white spray, the endless sea turtles, the dolphins all right in front of you. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Hawaiian paradise
This condo was absolutely incredible! The views are amazing! We sat on the balcony and just watched the waves roll in and the perfect sunsets. We saw so many turtles from the balcony and even some dolphins. Easy walk to the beach. The condo was extremely clean and had everything needed for the beach. The design is basically like 2 master suites since you can close the pocket door to the 2nd bathroom. Beds and furniture were all very comfortable. Parking was always easily available. Can’t wait to go back someday! Definitely were spoiled by this place!

Birthday in Kauai
Hi, Your condo was so beautiful and well appointed, we were so pleased to call it home for our first visit to Kauai. Those crashing waves made us so happy! The coffee and cookies were a delicious welcome! We were pleased to discover how well stocked the kitchen was with supplies. Made it is so nice to not have to purchase the baggies, paper towels, etc. We did wonder about the bathroom fan not working, but Scott said to not bother you about it, not a big deal!? The only thing we were missing was a pen by the phone (once again, no biggie) I was missing a bedside clock, since we had turned off our phones to avoid getting calls/ texts from home ( 3 hour difference!). I’m just one of those people who gets up in the night and wonders what time it is, haha. Thank you for sharing your wonderful condo with us! It was a memorable birthday experience! Warm regards!

Luxurious
I don’t usually leave a review, but this condo was above and beyond what I expected, so I just had to! This is our third trip to Kauai, 5th trip to Hawaii. Communication with Cynthia was always easy and fast. I appreciate her responding quickly, even to let me know where she bought her beautiful coffee cups. The kitchen was amazing; we cooked most of our meals there. It had every possible gadget you could think of, her cookware was nicer than what I had at home, and I loved all of the glassware, from champagne glasses to freezer beer mugs. Towels were abundant, including hair twists and Turkish beach towels. I enjoyed the lovely Hawaiian Bath products. There were Beach chairs, coolers, boogey boards and pool toys, everything you could ask for. Finally, the view was amazing! We watched turtles, dolphins, and whales from the balcony. This truly was one of the best beach houses we have stayed in.

Amazing View and Near Perfect Place
The unit is an amazing location. Close to family friendly beaches. Spectacular view where you can fall asleep by moonlight and with the sounds of the ocean. This unit has almost everything you need for a great holiday. We especially appreciated the supplied toiletries, beach gear and well stocked kitchen with everything you need to make a delicious family meal. My only possible negative thing would be the small parking spots making it hard to park sometimes but we always found a spot in the complex. Overall, highly highly recommend this beautiful unit. We had a wonderful holiday thanks in large part to this great apartment.

Always Excellent
This was our second two week stay in PS 205A in the past nine months. If it was up to me, I’d stay at this property for many more vacations. The idea of repeated stays at the same property, is foreign to us. We kind of like to mix it up. It’s just so relaxing there. The owners have provided everything we need to have a glorious beach trip. The constant sound of the surf crashing on the rocks. It is easy to get around the island. I could go on and on with praise. Just an amazing property.

Beautiful sea and sky
We had a wonderful time at this clean and very comfortable oceanfront condo. Every detail was thought of ahead of time. Extremely well organized information. The property manager Cynthia was excellent! She responded immediately to a minor problem and had the maintenance man Jeff there promptly. The condo is right on the ocean so we we spent most of our time enjoying the view of the crashing waves, the clouds in the clear blue skies and evening sunsets from the balcony. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the furniture and the bed was. I highly recommend this home.

Nice place. Fantastic location.
We loved the place and would definitely consider booking again. What we liked: - Location, location, location. Proximity to nice beaches and the balcony views were amazing. - The pool - it's humble, but nice to jump in after a long day - Information book - a lot of great information about things to do and recommendations for food and various activities - Convenient stuff available - little things like boogie boards, backup sunscreen, etc. What we didn't: - The windows don't close completely and there can be noise from people outside at night - Parking - the spaces are limited and very tight - Ice maker was super slow to refill and easy to accidentally shut off. It would be great to have some ice trays as backup

Very pleased!
This is a very clean and well-appointed condo. The view was amazing, right on the ocean! We watched whales while we ate breakfast on the deck and from the pool we watched sea turtles below, for hours. We loved the well-appointed kitchen which was well-stocked. The washer/dryer was so handy and this unit is air conditioned. It's only a 7-minute walk the beach, restaurants and hiking trails. Perfect!!

Perfect whale watching spot!
We came to Kauai with hopes to see whales during their migration. This place was in a great location- you can walk to Poipu beach and see the turtles at sunset! We enjoyed the pool and the huge bonus of this VRBO is the ocean front property and being able to sit on the balcony and watch whales breach, dolphins jump by and turtles swimming.....all day! We saw SO many whales EVERY DAY, totally incredible and worth every penny!

Very Lucky Find
If watching and hearing the crashing surf, enjoy observing sea turtles in their natural environment, like searching for whales frolicking in the distance, and appreciating relaxing by the shoreside pool, then this is the place for you. Plus, you are walking distance to Sandy beaches and nearby, fine dining and reasonably priced food establishments are nearby. Walking distance for some. The property is very well organized, clean and well-managed. We even met a very personable permanent resident. Unit 205A is amazing as well. The decor is very appropriate for a tropical dwelling., and comfortably organized. The unit’s owner has provided just about anything you would need for an amazing stay. From cooking utensils to beach accessories, to a detailed instruction manual for the unit. The owner has been extremely thorough in thinking of possible renter needs. Finally, Cynthia, from thebestbeachhouses.com, was friendly, easy to work with and responded quickly when we had questions. After two days of terrible storms, we called about getting the ocean facing windows cleaned, as during the high wind storm, the sideways wind and surf spray had made it difficult to see. She hired a company to come while we were still vacationing and during the holidays to boot. I almost didn’t write a post for this property, as I feel like it is a secret gem we’ve discovered. In fact, we booked for two-weeks this August, to go back and play some more. Aloha!
