About this property

Ocean Front, Kuhio Shores, 30 ft = 9 m from water! A/C

ON THE OCEAN condominium "Turtle Haven" steps from the sea near Poipu with spectacular views. Swim, surf, snorkel, sunbath or just relax in a peaceful corner of Kauai Island. Dazzling views of the tropical Pacific Ocean welcome you as you step in the door. Your unit faces the ocean directly with nothing between you and the sea. Watch the whales, dolphins, and turtles from your lanai (balcony).

This unique condominium is flanked by Turtle Cove on one side and renowned Lawai Beach on the other. Lawai Beach offers can't-miss snorkeling with turtles and colorful tropical fish steps from your door as well as sunbathing, surfing, and swimming (SNUBA too!). We've seen octopuses and endangered monk seals there as well. Enjoy the outdoor shower tucked between tropical plants for Kuhio Shores guests before heading up to the unit to relax. On the inland side, find a piece of history at the sacred Prince Kuhio Park.

Your unit will be 30 feet (9 meters) from the water: open the windows and doors, feel the trade winds blow, smell the ocean, and listen to the crashing surf. Sip your coffee or tea on the lanai soothed by the sound of the waves and Pacific blue waters as far as you can see. Enjoy privacy over a coral reef and turtles surfing from this second floor unit #210 (with elevator close by): No other units can see into your space and no telephone means complete peace.

This condo offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and sleeps 6. Find a King bed in the master bedroom, a Queen bed in the second bedroom, and a Queen sofa bed in the living room. For those occasional days when it's a bit warm, AC throughout the unit will keep you comfortable.

With floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows, you will enjoy the sea from the living room, dining room, or lanai. Watch whales breach in the winter and turtles feeding directly in front of your balcony. Or scan surfers tackling the waves while an occasional snorkeler visits the turtle cleaning station below.

The kitchen offers granite counter tops and stainless appliances. The unit includes oven/stove, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, insulated stainless French press, electric kettle, microwave, and full refrigerator with freezer and ice maker. It's fully furnished with everything you need to cook in or enjoy a drink on the lanai, with a BBQ onsite for your use. Or visit one of the island's best restaurants and bars next door, The Beach House, only steps away.

Free cable and wireless internet are included and there is a smart flat-screen TV in the living area as well as a small desk. The easy-access parking lot allows one car per unit with a coin laundry on each floor of the building.

Both the master bath (with separate large walk-in shower---see photos) and the second hall bath (with twin sinks) have custom tile work. Unique art work on the walls conveys the Hawaiian spirit.

Take a stroll down the road to visit the National Tropical Botanical Garden and a natural geographic wonder, Spouting Horn blow hole. The upscale Shops at Kukui'ula are easy walking distance with many fine restaurants, ice cream, and shopping. Scuba diving and snorkeling at Koloa Landing is only 1/2 mile away (< 1km). The popular tourist area of Poipu is just a mile or two away, and the historic town of Koloa with grocery stores is likewise a 5 minute drive.

Enjoy the peace, relaxation, and adventure of Kauai by staying in a peaceful corner of the island steps from the sea in an ocean front unit.

Fantastic ocean view

Nice condo located right on the ocean. Fantastic view of the ocean from the lanai. The condo is on the second floor, so it has a little better view than the ground-level condos. Saw a lot of whales spouting and breaching. Location was great - walking distance from many shops & restaurants. A nice little shopping area is a 10-minute walk. There were also snorklers and surfers in the immediate vicinity, as well. Condo was in good shape - seems very well maintained.

Lovely!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. So close to Poipu beach! Condo was clean and had everything we needed, plus a lot of extras. The washer and dryer listed is coin operated outside the unit, so be aware of that. Great view, so many turtles, surfers, and body boarders to watch from the lanai. Easy parking and in and out with elevators. Very comfortable place!

Fantastic condo

This is our third time staying in Kuhio Shores, first time in this unit. T HR r reds condo is perfect and we recommend it to anyone. The Beach House restaurant next door was a big disappointment though. We’ve been in years past and loved it but this time we won’t recommend anymore - insane amount of people and the food was marginal and overpriced. Brennecke’s is much better and not a zoo and our best food of the trip. Keoke’s is a fun place and great kahlua pork sandwich.

Fit the Bill for Two Couples

The only way to go in Hawaii is right on the water, and the pictures are, in fact, reality. We were so happy the A/C worked so well in the back bedrooms. The building is merely steps away from a small beach that had some of the best snorkeling I've done - we swam (from a distance) with a sea turtle, very cool. The owners even had umbrellas and chairs that were so great to use. I even texted the owner that the door stop on the main door was broken and it was fixed the next day. Other condo people/visitors were very nice.

Just perfect

We have stayed on Kuhio Shores before in a different condo so we do like this area. Perfect sunset view, lots of space and quiet. It’s a very old property but everyone has remodeled. It’s not cheap but I feel it’s a good value for the space. Nothing is inexpensive on the island anymore. We want a view so we pay a little more. The lanai is in the shade until around 1. Perfect for leisure mornings with coffee and a book. It faces the front. Lots of snorkeling right there as well. It’s also a popular surfing spot so entertainment! We would stay here again.

Incomparable View

The view is incomparable. As advertised and shown in the listing photographs, the lanai is about 30 feet from the ocean on the 2nd floor of the building. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean and whales for hours. The unit itself is a bit tired and in serious need of an update. It compared unfavorably with other comparably priced accommodations in which we recently stayed in terms of furnishings, supplies and equipment (both items and quality). Limited kitchen equipment lent itself to less meal preparation that would have been expected. There is no garbage disposal. The living area is poorly lighted; beach chairs were old and rusted. There were noises (24/7) from mechanical equipment (hot water heater and toilet in the master) that were annoying, especially during the night. Overall, it was a pleasant stay (primarily because of location), but the unit could be improved with a little effort and not a great expense.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We've visited various places on Kauai over the years but always came back to Kuhio Shores for the peace, privacy, and wildlife. We love to snorkel with the turtles, octopuses, and more next door or visit the turtle cleaning station on the other side of the reef.

What makes this property unique

Watching turtles surf all day long from your kitchen and living room windows! They love to put themselves directly in the waves. Last visit, we saw various octopuses 6 days in a row while snorkeling next door. The visit before we saw endangered monk seals at 3 different locations nearby.
