About this property

Live On the Ocean and Sleep to Surf Sounds in Idyllic Poipu. Trade Winds & AC.

Our comfortable, third-floor, south shore condo is right ON the ocean so you will SEE --and HEAR-- the sound of the surf as soon as you open your front door. The condo, with stylish, contemporary furniture, boasts a comfortable California king bed. Relax "at home" and enjoy the ocean while sitting inside or out on your lanai. Snorkel with turtles right in front of the condo (we sometimes see Eagle Rays in our bay, too)! This is one of the best shore dive sites on the island and our building is consistently rated as one of the best. The condo is nicely furnished so you can get down to the business of relaxing in comfort upon arrival. Come on in and make yourself at home! Most guests who stay in our Rising Sun Suite *do* return, btw....

Beautiful Condo
Clean, beautifully decorated well equipped condo located in a great spot to do anything you wish on Kauia. The owners were great to communicate with and we enjoyed the view off the lanai. Would definitely rent this condo again if we return.

A wonderful place that captures the ocean
We loved our stay here. This is a very modern unit with a partial view of the ocean. You're very close to the surf, and the window/screen door system lets in a lot of natural light and the sound and breeze from the ocean flows into the bedroom. It's very soothing and acts like white noise that blocks any sound from the nearby road. We also enjoyed dinner on the patio. In terms of cleanliness the place was immaculate. Sadly, we did not see turtles but we did enjoy the parakeets that show up at sunset before heading to the nearby park. We missed the notice about paying additional for A/C but we did not need it as long as we made use of the shades in the morning and early afternoon. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Beautifully decorated and clean, with waves and turtles to greet you off the lanai. Denise has everything you need in the condo, and is super responsive and friendly. We love this place and hope to be back soon. The 7:30 pm parrot show is an added bonus, and the location is great!

Ocean Vibes
Aloha, The condo and location is exactly what the pictures show and describe. Cool breezes and the morning sunrise on the private lanai was beautiful. The sound of the ocean crashing on the shore was absolutely perfect! It was only a short walk to the shopping center for necessities but due to limitations we would take the car or venture out to explore the rest of beautiful Kauai. We couldn’t ask for a better host as Denise was always available if and when we needed anything! Thank you again Denise for your beautiful, healing condo location and your great hospitality. We absolutely will plan another trip back to this wonderful location. Mahalo! 🐢🌴🌊🐠🌅

Exceeded expectations!
I wanted a place beach front. This location ended up as a great alternative since the walk was not far. The one-bedroom was very clean. Everything you’d need to have a comfortable stay was made available. I didn’t need the air conditioner. Open up the folders and enjoy the ocean breeze! The property owner was in-touch with all the details. Answered all my questions. You’ll definitely need to rent a car. The drive to the location was beautiful!

Peaceful Stay in Kauai
The condo was immaculate, exactly like the pictures on the website, and was a quiet place to enjoy the zen of Kauai. We found a lovely beach (Kiahuna) that was a short drive from the condo and spent most of our days relaxing there. The condo's kitchen was well stocked and on the lanai was a storage container with everything you need for time on the beach. We fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves in the cove below. We totally enjoyed our stay and would recommend it anyone planning a visit to Kauai!

Perfect for a getaway
Unit and complex were clean and inviting. Host was very responsive, and unit was very welcoming. Plenty of doors/windows to get a nice cross breeze keeping the unit nice and cool. AC was not needed at all. Great view off the deck, perfect for enjoying morning coffee. Floors are concrete with some rugs, no issue for us at all but may be for some. Everything was in order and good working condition. I would book here again in a heart beat.

We loved having the ocean breeze flood the condo at any time, with incredible ocean views. The only reason for 4 stars on the cleanliness was due to a grimy and smelly shower curtain. Everything else was fantastic.

South Side Charm
Loved the condo, kitchen, bathroom and most of all the view. Condo owner has thought of so many little necessities like beach chairs, soap, shampoo & conditioner. Lots of items in kitchen for use like sandwich baggies, tin foil and a cooler for the beach. All the little things add up to a great experience. We had the best time and enjoyed Poipu beach seeing the turtles at night and Hawaiian sea lions daytime resting on the beach. So amazing! Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo with us and making our trip so special.

Great location at newer property
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Vrbo property, especially the breathtaking view, pristine living room, and well-equipped kitchen with boogie boards for added fun. The balcony was truly remarkable. However, there were a couple of areas that need improvement. The bathroom had an unusual smell, and the shower curtain was stained orange, which made us feel uncomfortable while showering. We suggest considering a remodel with a glass door or regular replacement of the shower curtain. One of the main reasons we chose this unit was the washer/dryer availability. Unfortunately, there was only one set for the entire property, and it was always in use, making it challenging to access. It may be worth reassessing whether it should be advertised as an amenity. Additionally, we encountered an issue with the TV, which did not work during our stay, particularly inconvenient when we were stuck indoors due to the storm on our last day. It would have been great to have the TV functional for entertainment during such moments. We didn’t complain because it wasn’t worth it, but it should be noted that it may not work during your stay. The AC ended up costing an additional $10 per day. This wasn’t mentioned in the description and wasn’t a big deal for us, however, this should be mentioned in the description. Overall, despite the shortcomings, we appreciated the positive aspects of our stay. The owner made it very easy to check-in & communicated everything very well.

About the host

Hosted by denise Ball

Host profile image
We first ventured to Kaua'i in 1998 and never looked back! After many visits to the island, and managing our oceanfront condo rentals from the SF Bay area, we left Silicon Valley and moved to the island in 2002. BEST decisions we've ever made -- except our marriage almost 31 years ago.

Why they chose this property

You can not get any closer to the ocean, and our building is just a few minutes drive to famous Po'ipu Beach Park, the Grand Hyatt, and many other well-known resorts. The Botanical Garden and Spouting Horn are minutes away, as are a multitude of restaurants and shops. Yet our building is "off the beaten path," which means peaceful, quiet serenity....

What makes this property unique

Hop on the elevator to the third floor, enter your front door, and you are looking at OCEAN. Your private lanai consists of clear, plexi glass for unobstructed views, so no peeking through the railing. Watch the turtles frolick and feed -- from the lanai, OR from inside your condo.
