About this property

Best Place to Stay in Kauai - 35' from the Surf - Poipu, Hawaii

Located 35 feet from the surf, my Poipu condo is one of the best places to stay on the Island of Kauai. It has the best close up ocean views on the entire Island. Miles of beautiful coastline, crashing waves, breaching whales, sea turtles, great surfing action, and romantic tropical sunsets can all be seen while relaxing in my oceanfront condo in Poipu Beach. To see a YouTube video of my Poipu condo click on the "video" button at the top of this page. You'll love it and the music too!

Completely renovated, my air conditioned Kauai condo has woven bamboo flooring, new tropical living room furniture, new patio dining furniture on the lanai, new art work, Tommy Bahama pillow top beds, Tommy Bahama dressers & night stands, new ceiling fans, a new 55-inch high definition flat panel smart television, new plantation style louvered teak doors, new crown molding/wainscoting, new stereo system, CD/DVD player, fresh paint, and much much more. High speed cable & wireless Internet are included.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you'll need. The counter tops are new Golden Crystal granite slabs and backsplash. The cabinets are solid oak. The appliances are top of the line Kitchen Aid stainless steel, featuring a convection oven.

If you plan to surf, boogie board, scuba dive, or snorkel during your vacation, you can't find a better place to stay in Kauai. Vacationers can surf, snorkel, boogie board, scuba dive, and even fish directly out our back door. Boogie boards, Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas, and beach towels are provided in the unit. There are also binoculars for viewing the whales, turtles and Hawaiian monk seals.

The trade winds on Kauai blow directly into the bedrooms and living room. Sleeping is a breeze. When the weather gets warm, not many condos in Kauai stay as cool as my condo in Poipu. In addition, there is air conditioning in the condo if you find it too warm.

My condo is one of only two ground floor corner units at Kuhio Shores. The corner units have an extra window that creates a much more panoramic ocean view than the views of the non-corner units. The extra window also makes the condo feel much larger and allows for more air flow. And you can watch the sunsets through this window while sitting in the condo.

Between my condo and the ocean is a beautiful manicured lawn that's perfect for kids. The lawn area feels like it's your own private back yard. It's great.

Having the best ocean view on the island, and with swimming, snorkeling, surfing, boogie boarding, and scuba diving right out my back door, my condo is, without a doubt, one of the best places to stay in Kauai.

HAVE A GREAT VACATION IN KAUAI, wherever you decide to stay!

Great return to Kuhio Shores
Thanks, Ron, for letting us use your wonderful condo! We had stayed at Kuhio Shores years ago for our honeymoon, and the time w brought out 3 year old. We had a wonderful time, and it was nice to have the ground floor unit to let him walk out the door onto the grass near the shore. The unit was well appointed, with all the things we needed for a week of cooking and relaxing. The location is just perfect, next to the Beach House restaurant and beach, and just a few minutes from Poipu Beach and easy shopping. We would love to stay here again. Ron was a great host, and everything about the experience was easy. And easy 5-star rating!

Why they chose this property

My twin brother, being a surfer as a young kid, always wanted to live on the oceanfront. Eventually, he got into the real estate business, as well as the development business. In 1989, he sold a custom spec house that he had built in La Costa, California and bought two oceanfront condos in Poipu. Kuhio Shores was his favorite because he could surf right out the back door, and when he wasn't surfing, he could watch the surf action while sitting inside the condo.

Sadly my twin brother passed away in 2015. I too surf and am now able to enjoy this property. It is very special to me and brings back very fond memories. It is situated on one of the most popular surfing and snorkeling areas on Kauai's south shore.

He liked being on the ground floor the best because you don't feel 'trapped' since you can walk right out onto the lawn, which you can't do on any other floor. The lawn makes it feel like you have your own personal backyard, just feet from the ocean. And if you have kids, they can run around on the grass to burn off any extra energy.
