Impeccable
The villa was perfect for our stay in Kauai. The owner gave us lots of good advice and information prior to arrival. Everything was spotlessly clean and the view from the balcony was sensational. We especially enjoyed a drink in the evening watching the sunset. We hope to go back.

Perfect view and centrally located!
3rd story condo with a two sided balcony view. No one on the right side of you. Very quiet at night. Extremely clean and has all you need for a comfortable stay. Washer, Dryer and full kitchen. Deb even supplied the coffee! Coming back to this property every day was very relaxing and felt like home. Highly recommend this rental. Can't go wrong.

Beautiful Location in Paradise
Everything about our stay here was perfect: it has every amenity you could ever need (from beach gear, to comfy beds, to kitchen utensils, to AC!); it's conveniently located by all the hot spots on the south side of the island; and communication from the owner was amazing throughout. Best of all, the view from the balcony was unmatched! I wish we could sip coffee or mai tai's on it forever. We hope to return and cannot say enough good things about Deb and her home!

Amazing View
We arrived at sunset. Everyone’s mouth dropped at the amazing view. From the beginning Deb was very communicative. The place was updated and nicely furnished with very comfortable beds, as well as very organised. The place was a short walk to the beach where we saw monk seals, sea turtles, and dolphins. We will definitely rebook again, thank you for the amazing experience!

Excellent place for families and a great time!
This was as our second time staying at this condo. The vicinity to the beach, restaurants and shopping makes it an ideal location. The property is quiet, the staff and other tenants are always friendly. The pool is great when you need a little time away from the sand and salt. My recommendation couldn't be any stronger! If you are looking for a great place to stay while exploring Kauai, you've found it. Being on the third level affords excellent views of the sunset, ocean and mountains. You will not be disappointed!

Perfect location
We had an excellent stay at Deb's home. I was a little nervous about renting a home as I've always stayed at a big resort when traveling but from the moment I booked she was wonderful with giving insight about the area and recommendations on restaurants close by for my picky kids or answering any question I may have. The place was extremely clean, welcoming and felt like home to us. And I can't get over the views, they were amazing! We had picture perfect views of the sunset every night and I loved being able to relax in the morning with my coffee while sitting on the lanai watching the ocean or looking off in the distance towards the mountains. We were in a great location with being a short walk to the beach where my daughter would help the volunteers count the sea turtles each night. During our stay Deb even checked in on us to make sure we didn't need anything and that everything was going well. She went well above and beyond and was an amazing host! I hope to return to Kauai in the future and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

No regrets at all about our choice of lodging. Homeowner was incredibly communicative throughout the process. Home was incredibly clean when we arrived and well stocked with needed items. Location was great - well landscaped condo complex within short walk to beach/restaurants, easy parking right outside the stairs leading to the condo. Lanai views were incredible - expansive ocean/mountain views. Would definitely consider returning on a future trip to Kauai.

Perfection
You can’t beat the views! We watched whales breach in the morning and had the most amazing sunsets. The condo is a nice 5-10 min walk to a boogie board beach, playground, family friendly beach, snorkeling, turtle watching, and Brenneckes restaurant. The pool was great as well. Costco and Target are on the way from the airport so it’s easy to get necessities at the same price as the mainland. Deb is a GEM. Quick communication, great recommendations. Our Alaska flight got changed last minute and she was able to accommodate a late check out. We will be back!

Perfect, centralized location for a Kauai vacation
Poipu is the place to stay for a home base in Kauai. Close, safe beaches, centralized access to the island, 15 miles from the airport. This rental back patio has some of the best views of Poipu's scenery/beach/ocean, being on the 3rd floor--even better than the local hotel beach views, in my opinion. The unit is situated so it catches an unobstructed, scenic view of the sunset. For getting the high view point, the unit is on the 3rd floor so it's a trek up 2 flights of stairs, so be mindful if you have trouble going up/down stairs. Very clean and well equipped. 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen. Equipped with beach chairs, cooler, boogie board. Absolutely no complaints and I would 100% come back here again.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Taubenheim

Host profile image
After many trips to Hawaii since the 80's We made the vacation home dream a reality in 1998. All it took were the views from lanai and we were sold.
We currently live in Seattle with our 3 dachshund children. Living a relatively short distance away means that we can make many trips there for both vacationing and being a hands-on owner. We want our guests to have the same experience we wanted in our many years of renting. Our (human) children were only 10 and 12 when we purchased and they've enjoyed many long stays at Nihi Kai over the years - testament to the fact that Kauai is for children too.
The owners, Deborah & Peter

Why they chose this property

We prefer to stay in the more mature 'Hawaiian feel' properties with large units, mature and lush landscaping and of the Hawaiian Plantation style architecture. Nihi Kai Villas fit this description. The views and the location, ocean view heated pool, and walking distance to beaches and amenities made Nihi Kai Villas 833 our top choice.

What makes this property unique

Full air conditioning, views, location, updated decor, heated pool, private and home-like feel are all benefits offered at 833 Nihi Kai.
We've provided a unique bedding arrangement in the second bedroom making our unit great for 2 adult couples, children of different ages, grandparents or nannies!
