Stunning Oceanfront Condo with A/C...... You Will Not Be Disappointed

Located just 30 feet from the surf on Kauai's sunny south shore, our 1 bedroom, 1 bath, 900 sq. ft., professionally decorated, fully equipped, OCEANFRONT Poipu condo Hawaii vacation rental at the famed Kuhio Shores offer those planning a Hawaii vacation in Poipu Beach some of the most spectacular ocean views, sunrises and sunsets found on the beautiful Island of Kauai, Hawaii.

This exceptional, newly remodeled unit juts out from the main building, putting you 10 feet closer to the ocean and providing totally unobstructed views.

Kuhio Shores is a 75 unit oceanfront condo complex with beaches on both sides, yet total privacy from the lanai because of the 20 foot greenbelt to the ocean. This vacation rental has the closest oceanfront units on all of Kauai, Hawaii.

Situated on a promontory, the building is protected from wave action by a reef offshore, making it ideal for wave, turtle, and whale watching. The ocean just below the condo provides some of the best snorkeling on the island and beyond the reef are three of the south shore's most popular surfing sites; P.K.'s, Centers and Acid Drops.

Planning a Special Occasion... Anniversary, Honeymoon, Birthday Or ...... just because you deserve it.........

You've come to the right place...Enjoy your Hawaii vacation at Our OceanFront Paradise

Enjoy...crystal blue and turquoise ocean, accented by black lava and white sandy beaches, magnificent sunrises and sunsets from your own private lanai.

The giant sea turtles are playing in the surf, whales frolicking further out at sea (Nov-Apr) and monk seals and dolphins often stop by to visit.

Swim with the tropical fish and turtles in some of the best snorkeling on the island. Access is from the beach on both sides of the building. Surfing, bodyboarding, sunning and viewing are there for your pleasure.

Ready to get out and explore? .... jungle and waterfalls, tropical gardens, hiking, sport fishing, golf, boutique shopping and both elegant and casual restaurants await you.

Enjoy a glass of wine, some cheese and relax to the music of the ocean surf; or, a cup of coffee and watch the surfers and listen to the ocean waves break, ALL FROM YOUR PRIVATE LANAI.

Worries and concerns fade in the tranquility of the islands and their beauty. Want to explore the rest of Kauai, our vacation rental makes the perfect home base, located midway between the North and the West side. One day you can drive North to explore the exotic and outstanding North Shore beaches and lush greenery, the next you might want to head West to view the Waimea Canyon, also called the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific'.

Relax at one of the premier oceanfront resort vacation rental destinations in Hawaii. Shop in Old Koloa town, visit Poipu and Shipwrecks beaches, take a short walk to the Spouting Horn and Allerton Botanical Gardens where Jurassic Park was filmed, then dine at the award winning Beach House Restaurant right next door.

You may find it difficult to leave the lanai, watching the surfers, sunsets, giant sea turtles, spinner dolphins and listening to the lullaby of the ocean waves crashing......And, for the more culinary inclined, a fully equipped kitchen in the unit along with a common barbeque area outside are available for your use.

Great right on the ocean property. We saw sea turtles from our balcony and whale spouts. We loved falling asleep to the waves crashing on the rocks right below us. We just opened the windows and did not have to turn on the air conditioner. Nice condo and having the kitchen came in handy. The only thing I would say is that my wife and I only had one bath towel each for the week. It would have been nice to have had 2 towels each. We could have used the pay floor community washer and dryer, but who wants to do that and wait for it to wash and dry, when you are on vacation.

Great Stay and Location

We enjoyed the condo and surroundings very much. The view and location were superb. Our only complaint was the drawers and closets were stuffed with stuff which didn't allow us to unpack our suitcases as there was very limited space to store it. The kitchen was well stocked, but again limited space where we could put our groceries. We were there 3 weeks and it was wonderful.

Great Views!!

The condo is perfect for awesome sunrise and sunset views. An awesome location central to many things to do in the island. We loved the condo and it was very cozy and so nice to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the surf on the rocks. We were very happy with our choice of Bob and Merideth’s beautiful condo and can’t wait to return! Mahalo!

Crashing waves :)

The location is great, condo is well stocked and the view is awesome! It was fun to watch the turtles from the lanai. The only suggestion.....would be to have space for guests to unpack their bags into a dresser and a cabinet for food during the stay. We will be coming back for sure!

Perfection in Poipu

The condo is beautiful and the location proved great for our use as home base. The size was perfect for the two of us. The view from the lanai is stunning-we enjoyed watching surfers, sea turtles, sunrises, and sunsets. We found excellent restaurants nearby with The Tasting Room in Koloa standing out as our favorite. We would definitely stay here should we return to Kaui.

Ocean Front Paradise

This condo. WOW! What a beautiful view and perfect location for getting around the island. Everything you could possibly need was stocked! There were plenty of dishes, cookware, beach chairs, beach towels, soft cooler, etc. Also the gift baskets filled with goodies and coffee was very unexpected but much appreciated! When we weren’t out exploring, we spent the majority of our condo time out on the lanai in the rocking chairs searching for sea turtles and watching the surfers. The condo itself is not giant, but provided more than enough room for me and my husband. The lovely renovations by the owners also made the condo feel extra bright and new. I would still choose this condo any day over a hotel room. You truly cannot beat the ocean views. I noticed that many people have returned back to this unit and I completely understand why after experiencing a stay here! Thank you again Bob and Meredith for sharing your lovely condo with us! It was such a treat and I can’t wait to come back!

Mixed feelings

The condo is in a great location in Poipu. The Beach House Restaurant is right next door. The view is stunning. You can just sit on the patio and watch the turtles and surfers. We even went and sat in the grass one night just to watch the sunset. It was also close to several of our dive spots which made the location perfect. We booked this location, for our 25th Anniversary trip before heading to our timeshare on the North Shore. The toilet didn’t flush and we had to call the owner. He asked my husband knowing we were VRBO ourselves, if he would fix it. We were a little taken back and said we would, because apparently he has asked the guest before us. We agreed on a small amount of money to get part and our time installing and getting part in Lihue. We took pictures of both and didn’t hear back from the owner until we called VBRO. I didn’t feel like we should have ever had to do that on our vacation. There are plugs in the Master that aren’t in the wall properly and you can’t charge anything because the plugs fall out. We were never able ti get the cable to work in the living room, so we watched TV from the bedroom. The condo could use some new paint. We enjoyed our stay except the above mentioned issues, that can be addressed quickly. It is a beautiful location.

poipu turtle view condo

The condo was nicely maintained and situated. The kitchen had everything we needed and the complex was next to the Beach House restaurant which was excellent, and just a short drive to the coastline hike at Shipwrecks which we did twice. The best beach on the south shore is at the end of that hike. The only issue we had was with a hum that we called the owners about and who immediately got their maintenance team to assess. It wasn't resolved, unfortunately but i know it will be by the time we return, which we will.

About the host

Hosted by Bob and Merideth

Why they chose this property

We have traveled to over 38 countries and hundreds of cities, staying at some of the finest hotels in the world. In 2007 we took a 30th anniversary getaway, and departing from our normal hotel stay, we decided to rent an oceanfront condo, direct from the owner, at Kuhio Shores. Spending 10 days there and observing the beauty of Kauai during that time, we were struck with the Aloha spirit. Keep in mind that we had visited the Hawaiian islands approximately 15 times before, but there was a specialness here not found elsewhere. It was at that point we decided we no longer wanted to be just visitors, rather owners. And, in our retirement years be able to spend significantly more time here.
