Kuhio Shores 418 - Oceanfront Two Bedroom "Penthouse" Poipu Condo with A/C

The ultimate beachfront Kauai condo vacation rental! Privacy combined with absolutely indescribable ocean, surf, and beach views. This four-floor, west corner unit of Kuhio Shores, is sixty feet above the waves, steps from the beach, in a luxury Kauai vacation condo on the sunny south shore in Poipu, Kauai. Only seagulls enjoy these views, and the sunsets are a once in a lifetime.... everyday occurrence! Like being on the top deck of a cruise ship, sixty feet above the crashing surf.

Brand new two-unit air conditioning system! Enhance your vacation with this cooling comfort not found in most rentals.

The living/family room is spacious and has a dramatic and truly breathtaking ocean, beach and surf line view. This fourth floor end unit #418 is one of the closest to the ocean, and is one of the only Kauai Vacation Condos that can capture a TRUE 180 Degree sit down beach/ocean/surf view. As you can see, the corner location allows two floor-to-ceiling glass walls.

The ocean reefs are directly below your lanai, where you can easily spot sea turtles, dolphins, and whales cruising just outside your balcony! The living room features high-quality and tastefully decorated Hawaiian furnishings, a large color Television with remote control, cable television, a VCR for your viewing pleasure, and a high-quality stereo system with remote. This is a fabulous place to kick back and let your senses soak up the sights, sounds, and smells that are Kauai, nature at its finest!!

The sounds of the ocean are in every room!!! You can whale watch, enjoy beautiful Kauai sunsets, count dolphins and turtles, or enjoy some of the best surfing action on the sunny south shore of Kauai while inside this unit. The dining area features a spacious high-quality glass table, and four restaurant-quality chairs. There is also kitchen counter seating for two people on swivel chairs.

The kitchen is gorgeous, and the setting cannot be duplicated! Imagine creating a gourmet dinner while watching surfers catch some of the best waves on the Island 100 feet away! This gourmet kitchen is fully equipped including dishwasher, microwave, stove, oven, blenders, mixers, steamer, coffee maker, crock pot, toaster, pots and pans, quality cutlery, and virtually everything you need to create wonderful meals!

Solid granite countertops and the latest "white on white" appliances. If you don't feel like cooking, take a one-minute stroll along the beach and enjoy a meal at one of the finest restaurants in Kauai, The "Beach House" Restaurant.

The first bedroom suite features a terrific ocean view, a king-size bed , and classic Hawaiian furnishings. It is tastefully decorated utilizing local artists. The bed is a Simmons Beauty Rest (firm) and has an attractive Ralph Lauren bedding. Your sleep comfort was the highest priority here! Ceiling fans, cool ocean breezes, controllable lighting, color television, and a private bathroom and shower complete this suite.

The second bedroom also has a beautiful ocean view and a King bed. It is also tastefully decorated with local artists works and between the trade winds, the soothing ocean sounds and the may never sleep this well again!

Great View
As others have said, the view from this unit is really beautiful. We enjoyed watching the turtles and surfers from the balcony, and the sunsets out the window were stunning. The location is nice--about a 5 minute walk over to Baby Beach and a 15 minute walk to the shopping center down the street. Some things to be sure you are aware of: Laundry is shared and coin operated at the end of the hall. Not sure if it was just the time of year, but the little gnats on the balcony were out of control. Be prepared to swat at them constantly. The pool included with the stay if fun, but it is a short drive away from the apartment.

AMAZING VIEWS!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property was perfect in every way! The views are absolutely breathtaking. The unit itself is well equipped and close to plenty of shopping and restaurants. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer. While visiting we did the Na Pali Rider excursion along the coast and it was beautiful to say the very least. Also, for pet lovers, we booked a field trip with a dog from the Kauai Humane Society for a day and had a wonderful experience.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The views were amazing and as pictured. We saw lots of sea turtles from our balcony. The place was clean and well stocked. The beach chairs, umbrella and boogie boards were nice to have. The main bedroom and living room cooled down nicely with the a/c but there was none in the second bedroom so it was a bit warm at night even with the fans but everything else was great. It's a great location.

Breathtaking But
I've visited Kauai several times and this was the third time staying at Kuhio Shores. This unit is breathtaking. The oceanfront views at two sides offer daily sunsets and sea turtles in abundance. The unit is well-stocked. The ventilation was great; air conditioning was not necessary. All seemed idyllic and yet...When we checked into the unit, the hallway bathroom was not working. We received no response when we called the "24/7" numbers. It took two days to fix the toilet, which meant that our friend had to go through our bedroom in order to use a toilet. The three of us are all in our seventies and this was quite awkward for our friend. The person who "helped" us at Poipu 365 was curt. She offered several excuses for why the repair couldn't be done in one day. It took two repairmen to fix the toilet. My wife told both repairmen about an additional problem, a broken toilet seat in our bathroom. After we checked out, we expressed our dissatisfaction with their quality control, as we felt that they were negligent renting a high-quality unit to us without checking the toilet. Their response was again curt and insulting, insisting that their cleaning crew would have noticed a broken toilet. They knew nothing about a broken toilet seat. They acted as though if was all made up and all our fault! This is not what I expected when I rented a beautiful place like Kuhio Shores. I recommend that the owners find a new management team.

Very nice stay!
Overall had a great stay @ Kuhio Shores 418. Setting was beautiful right on the ocean, sunsets were spectacular, apartment was quite comfortable. Setup was functional, kitchen was more than adequate, would have been nice to have a few more spices and condiments. Lanai was great, the views at sunset from the front room was to die for. The provided beach equipment was nice to have, 2 beaches within easy walking distance. Word of advice: snorkeling goggles will need to be rented or brought with. The only improvement would be to get rid of the louvered doors. The noise travelled throughout the apartment, especially at night. Also, the damn Kauai roosters crow all day, all night. Overall, a very nice stay in a beautiful setting!

Perfect Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kuhio Shores 418 is such an excellent unit for the perfect Poipu stay. We spent most of our time with the sliding glass door and the windows wide open for the most wonderful fresh island breezes and ocean wave sounds. The unit is well maintained and appointed with everything needed: more than enough towels, great beach gear and coolers, and everything needed to cook. The beds are comfy, the wifi works great, and the views all day are spectacular. Was concerned the restaurant would be noisy but it really wasn't. The AC and fans in the bedrooms and living room made the space extra comfortable for sleeping. Most condos in Hawai’i are not as clean or well cared for as this unit. You cannot beat the ocean front location and view of Kuhio Shores 418, plus it is a 3-5 minute drive from everything you could want in Koloa and Poipu. The management company dropped off the parking pass the next day so we didn’t even need to do a check in at the building. Top to bottom a great experience. We cannot wait to get back to Kuhio Shores 418.

Great vacation as always
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at KS418 many times and love it. Check in / out couldn't be easier. Had minor smoke alarm failure; it was repaired promptly. I have one minor issue; there are new push button switches for lights and fans that are not intuitive - takes some groping plus trial and error to sort them out. I favor old-school toggle switches - simple and intuitive. But this is a minor hassle - probably intended to improve convenience. Clean - yes! I went over the place with a UV light before we moved in and found nothing. The place always seems clean; this time I can confirm it.

Ocean side peace .. and snorkel too!
When we booked it was the view that hooked us.. and then we discovered so much more! We came to Kauai to enjoy a different type of Hawaii vibe. The first night we wandered into the restaurant next door.. little did we know it was such a hot spot .. we cheered with the crowd as we toasted the green flash ! Morning coffee on the Lanai and watching whales in the distance. We kayaked the with Wailua river with Kauai Kayak and came home to a cool and comfortable spot to watch the sunset on another awesome day. We laughed when our snorkel tour led us to the place right next door that we had checked out the day before. Thanks to Kauai Z-Tourz for putting names to the fishy faces and showing all the best spots. Lawa’i Beach is a great place in the January surf! Check out Eden Coffee right down the street. What a wonderful home base for a comfy bed and a hot shower. Thank you!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Kuhio Shores # 418Stay Dec 8-21, 2023We will be back! This is the best unit we’ve found at Kuhio Shores! Several advantages: The bedroom windows are on the outside of the building Not opening to the exterior walkway – more secure and better breezes. The furniture is comfortable and not overly nice/fussy, so we could feel at home. The condo itself is in great condition, nothing broken or needing to be refreshed, AND very clean. That doesn’t even begin to cover the view! Stunning!Many thanks to property managers, Vicki and Cher Lani at Poipu365. Any (small) issues we mentioned were resolved the same day I texted! Vicki even came by just after we checked in to deliver our welcome package. Really appreciated Cher Lani’s patience with all my questions before booking.

Absolutely stunning location with gorgeous views in every direction. The perfect spot on the South Side - close to all the beaches, shopping and dining. When you walk in there's so much water you feel like you're on a cruise ship! My family of five loved our stay.

A Lovely Stay, and...
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing views of the water and a spacious and well laid-out condo. Great snorkeling just steps away and quick access to Longs, ice cream, Poipu and Brenecke Beaches. Many amenities in this well-stocked unit. The living room and kitchen floors had highly-visible amounts of food (bread crumbs?) on the tile and the area-rugs, and we found garbage under the couch (we had to move it to place a blow up bed). The lanai needed a thorough sweeping and the kitchen table looked like it had been wiped with something greasy (no glass cleaner anywhere in the house to clean it with), toaster was dirty. Towels were lacking for a party of 5, and one blow-up mattress lacked a pump and was un-useable. I left a message about that but never heard back. The water was undrinkable, even for making coffee, and it would be a nice gesture to get a Brita filter or something for renters to not have to purchase loads of bottled water. A lovely stay overall, but not for the December pricing. We also rented a very similar unit in Poipu Shores (unit 303A) that was gorgeous (more up to date), extremely clean and half the cost for the exact same dates.

Amazing views, but…
The views from this unit were utterly spectacular (10/10!) and if that’s the only thing that matters to you, this is an amazing place to stay. For our group of 4 60-ish year olds, the beds were really uncomfortable, there was zero privacy even with bedroom doors closed, too few towels, toilets were ridiculously loud (although functional), and the bedding was old and furnishings dated. The management was very responsive though, and the gym - Poipu Beach Club - which is included, was a great bonus. Would love to give this a 5/5, just can’t.
