As soon as we walked in the place was just as described! The kitchen was amazing and the view from the lanai was our absolute favorite place to be sunrise and sunset! Poipu sands #513 we couldn't have been more happy with our choice and a huge thank you for the welcome basket and sharing of home for 9 days. It was so close to so many things we were able to enjoy the whole island from this spot. We hope to come back again and we will look for this place !

Location and view are wonderful and we would stay here again because of that. The view and access to Shipwreck Beach make this home special. The condo is very nice and everything you need is provided. But, if you are a person that gets warm, the unit does get hot during the day. We went out early in the morning and came back in the afternoon after the sun was no longer directly on the patio and living area — so it worked for us. There is a portable ac in the bedroom which cools the bedroom with the bedroom door closed at night. A mini split or a portable ac unit in the living area would really be great.Instructions are needed on how to use television. There are 2 remotes and a hand written note that is not clear. It is a beautiful spot!

We absolutely loved it here! We were greeted with such a beautiful and thoughtful anniversary package - including balloons that said happy anniversary. The team also had great communication, got us into our room early, and made sure we had the best time. The views from this place are amazing! Honestly seemed like the best views in the complex. I woke up every morning, made coffee, and walked out onto the beach to view the ocean. This area also makes it very easy to get around, drive to town or walk to town (if you like long walks) and we also went to the Grand Hyatt and used their gym/spa amenities (400 for 5 days for 1 pass) and leveraged their restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. You could see people jumping off from the cliff from our room. Had the best time of my life here. Apartment also had an awesome amount of seasonings, cooking materials, and everything you need to make yourself at home. We loved our week here. If you keep your eyes out, you may also see beautiful geckos outside hiding on the walls, benches, or in the bushes. Saw seals and turtles on the beach outside. So peaceful and what a beautiful warm home.

Such a beautiful, easy place to stay. Walk out the lanai to the beach, the Hayat, and then into a great trail system to hike along the bluffs where you can look down and see turtles in the water.Kitchen is well appointed. Bed is very comfortable. Would stay here again.

Perfect view and location

This unit has an incredible view. It's extremely well outfitted with everything to make your stay comfortable. It's a very short walk to the beach as well as the large pool. The staff was immediately responsive to a minor issue with the internet on checkin. I would choose this again the next time I am in Kauai.

Perfect! Great Host and Place

We booked this for our anniversary and the host had a note and little gift greeting us to the place. The room where was outstanding – from the minute we walked in until we left. The lanai overlooks Shipwreck beach, and it was delightful to watch the sun rise every morning. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - very comfortable bed and we loved having the AC for our bedroom at night. We would come back to this unit on future trips.

Great visit with friends

We come once a year with friends from Spokane. We were in building 5, they were in building 4. Couldn’t have been easier. Here’s some items to consider: * Door to the bedroom doesn’t stay closed when windows are open. * There a shortage of forks. * Buckles on the extra large swim fins are broken. * We broke a small wine glass. * Would be nice to have a salad spinner. Otherwise perfect.

Even better than expected

This place is amazing. The description doesn’t do it justice. The view is so lovely, and you’re so close to Shipwreck which I think is more beautiful (and less crowded) than Poipu Beach which is a lovely one mile walk. The condo is huge for a 1 bedroom, with 1.5 baths. Kitchen huge and well stocked. Bed is great, bathroom with 2 sinks. Tons of beach gear. Love the ability to open windows for great cross breezes. And the mini AC in bedroom is perfect. Koloa Kai the management company is totally on top of keeping you informed and answering any question. I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals, this is one of the very best.

We usually stay in two bedroom units in this complex, but did one bedroom this time since we were alone. The unit is clean and perfectly located. A few upgrades were suggested to owners and rental agency. This was our first time renting from Koloa Kai and we were very impressed with easy check in and quick responses to our needs. I would recommend this agency to future renters.

Great location. The “inside” AC is too noisy to be useful. Absent a strong wind, and with temperatures rising with global warming, these units may become much less comfortable.
