Stunning

The place was exactly how described. The views were stunning. We enjoyed taking in the views, watching the surfers, sea turtles, and even had a seal sun bathing on the rocks. The condo is located a short drive to shopping and restaurants. It was nice to have beach chairs to take the short walk to Baby Beach. The condo is well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Highly recommend.

One of, if not THE best condos we’ve stayed in. We’ve stayed here a few times in the past and it doesn’t seem to change much. Clean, pretty much everything you would need during your stay. In our experience the best place we’ve been in during our 11 trips to Hawaii. Highly recommend it.

Great spot to relax and enjoy the views!

We enjoyed our stay here, watching the whales each day, listening to the waves along the shore and relaxing on the lanai. Location is very nice with easy walk/drives to many restaurants and shops. Quiet complex with easy parking as well. Great communication with owners. Would definitely stay again.

Sheer Perfection in Paradise

If you like the ocean, watching surfers and sea turtles, this is the place that is in a fantastic location. The only noise we heard was the ocean. This is a place to plan your vacation dates around. It is perfect! We spent a lot of time on the private balcony watching the ocean and all that it provided. We even had a rainbow one morning. We were thankful for the AC in the bedroom at night. But otherwise we didn’t use it. But nice to know it is available (dual zone: bedroom/living area). I was so sad to leave.

Can’t beat this view! Biggest issue was not having change for the laundry … bring 1s or a 5 so you can get quarters from the change machine that’s in the shared laundry room.

Had 8 great nights here and couldn’t be happier! Fantastic location first and most obviously for the view! But, also for walking to great beaches (Poipu [1.75 mi.], baby beach .3 mi. Most notably) and great shops and many fantastic restaurants at The Shops at Kukui’ula only half a mile up the road.

Perfect location

The location was superb! The condo was stocked well-salt, pepper, etc. The condo was a little dated, but not a problem. I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the condo. Dust was very piled up in back of the night stand lamp in the bedroom. And there was a big cockroach in the bathtub. Overall it was beautiful and I loved going to sleep listening to the crashing waves of the ocean.

A very charming and cozy condo with an amazing breathtaking view overlooking the ocean! Loved falling asleep and waking up to the lulling sound of crashing waves every day! Would recommend renting a car if you stay here, however, as it is a bit of a walk to any shopping, grocery stores, or restaurants.

We’re so glad we chose this place as our place to stay while we were in Kauai. You can’t beat the view from the lanai and we loved sitting out there watching the surfers, sunsets and turtles. The owners were very sweet and had excellent communication. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to come back someday.

Stunning Views

Accommodations don't get any more oceanfront than this! We loved being able to see sunrise and sunset from the lanai, and watch turtles feeding at the shoreline below. The location gave us multiple options for morning walks and snorkel outings, and is close to restaurants and shops. The unit provided everything we needed for comfort and recreation, and we used the cooler constantly to bring goodies back from the North Shore, Lydgate Farms chocolate tour, etc. We also appreciated the convenience of keyless entry and the security of the in-unit safe. We really didn't want to leave!

We loved our stay at Sue and Pat’s condo. We loved watching the turtles and the surfers from the lanai. We almost didn’t have any reason to leave because the view was amazing. The condo had everything we needed. We made use of all the beach gear. They had a bunch of beach chairs, a big umbrella and a couple coolers. This was an added bonus for us and we really appreciated all of it. We never had to use the ac, the trade winds kept the condo cool enough. Overall we slept like babies, loved the place and had a great vacation.

Kauai-1st time visit

This condo has spectacular views from the moment you enter. We spent most of our time on the lanai anytime we were at the condo-watching surfers, observing turtles and were gifted seeing a large pod of spinner dolphins! The lawn below was a great spot for sunset viewing. Communication with the owner was great from booking through checkout. The condo was well appointed with everything needed for our stay, including good quality beach gear, coolers, etc. The location is central for exploring the south shore, Waimea Canyon and Koke'e state parks. We split our two week visit between the north and south and highly recommend to avoid extra driving time. Why spend more time in the car when you can be out exploring this beautiful island. There was quite a bit of road construction on the main highway from Lihue to Kapa'a. Plan plenty of extra time when traveling through this area. We definitely recommend this condo and would stay here again!!

We have been coming to Kauai since 1975. We fell in love with the island and
especially the Poipu area. We purchased our first condo 415 in 1998 and our
second one in 2003. We spend January and February every year at Kuhio Shores
working on our condos and enjoying the Island of Kauai. The rest of the year
is spent talking to the wonderful people who want to come to Kauai and stay
at Kuhio Shores.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything, excellent walking/jogging, restaurant right next door,
best snorkeling just minutes from the front door, superb views of turtles,
whales, surfers, sunsets right in front of you.

Fall of 2009 brings the opening of the new Kukui'ula shopping village a very
short walk from Kuhio Shores that will feature more excellent restaurants
and shops.
