About this property

Kuhio Shores Oceanfront Corner Unit

Beautiful oceanfront Poipu condo in the closest complex to the water. This ground floor corner unit in Kuhio Shores offers stunning ocean views from every room, with the seawall and water just steps from your lanai.

This condo features one bedroom with a king bed, fully-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities on each floor, and there is an onsite manager.
Compared to other one bedroom units, our corner unit has several advantages. The view is spectacular--270 degrees. You can look out towards the bay and the green mountains beyond, and all the way around, down the coast of Poipu. Whales, porpoise, surfers and turtles can all be enjoyed out your door. Speaking of privacy, our bedroom is on the ocean side, not along the hallway on the parking lot side. All you hear are the waves, not late night departing or early arriving guests with their suitcases. The corner units are the largest one bedrooms by square footage with a larger living room area. Another advantage of our corner unit is the superior ventilation. Huge bay windows facing into the tradewinds allow flow through ventilation when the ocean side windows or sliding door are open.
And just in case the trade winds don't blow, we have central air conditioning.

This condo features one bedroom with a king bed. Laundry facilities are found on each floor and there is an onsite manager. The fully-equipped kitchen has a blender, microwave, coffee maker, etc. We have beach chairs & umbrella for guests to use.

Come be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves, relax on the lanai to enjoy a drink and watch the surfers, whales, or the family of sea turtles that come in every evening to feed.

Pure oceanfront

The photos say it all. You can’t get much closer to the ocean without being on a boat. Enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets from your living room. Having the bedroom on the ocean side and the full, opening windows wrapping the corner suite provide a true indoor/outdoor daily living environment. Endless surf and tropical breezes. We did not turn on the AC during our whole 3 week stay. Parking, always easy. Jennifer is a great, responsive host.

This place is amazing!!! 10/10

This place is perfect if you love sunshine, hearing the waves, and having fun! The inside was in perfect condition and super nice. Fresh fruit stand was setup directly across the street for breakfast. Beach house restaurant was amazing and less than a min walk. This place is truly the best in complex. Views are incredible. Owner was so helpful and setup that I could get leis delivered and into the unit for our arrival. 10/10

Oceanfront R&R

Our stay at the oceanfront condo was absolutely wonderful. The unit had wall-to-wall ocean views. It was so wonderful to watch sunrises and sunsets from the patio—and so many turtles! We appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the unit including beach gear, spices for cooking, and lots of cooking utensils. The condo was just a short drive to Sheraton and Poipu beaches (our favorites). There’s also Lawai beach right around the corner and Baby Beach about a ten minute walk. We’d absolutely stay here again! Couldn’t ask for a more relaxing experience.

Perfection!

This condo was a perfect Hawaiian Getaway for my husband and I. The condo is exactly as advertised and communication with the owner was easy. We were there in late May and though temps went into the 80s a few times, we never turned on the Air Conditioner. Just opening the windows to the trade winds provided us with cool comfort. Sitting on the lanai, and on the grass watching the ocean, the surfers and the sea turtles was amazing and so relaxing. We slept so well listening to the ocean talking to us all night long. You get to choose the activity level of your vacation here. When we wanted a few quiet days to recharge from life, this was the perfect location. When we were ready for exploring, it's a great location for exploring the island.

Beautiful condo with some unexpected downsides

First of all, this condo is probably in the first or second best location on the property. The feeling of hearing the ocean before bed and waking up was definitely a highlight. There we beach towels, and beach gear available for use which was awesome (beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, boogie boards, and snorkels) It’s in a great location and very close to everything. The people on the property are mostly older couples and families. Everyone was super friendly. The host was responsive with the one request I had (a coffee grinder). A couple of things I wish I had known before booking: You are in a “fish bowl”. There is no privacy because people are constantly walking in front of and around the unit. People set up lawn chairs right in front of the back patio to watch the sunset. Even in the mornings people are right outside your door/windows. There is no privacy, unless you close the curtains, which takes away from the experience. Secondly, there are invasive parrots in the trees that will absolutely firebomb your car with poop. I spent hours scrubbing off the poop from just one night of parking in the wrong spot. (Don’t park under the trees). A couple of minor things that could be improved: Shampoo, conditioner and lotion in bathroom. Complimentary coffee would have been nice (or at least a few keurig pods). Also maybe a few single use laundry soaps (we washed their beach towels while there). Overall, it was a solid four star experience.

This place deserves 10 stars!!! One of our favorite places EVER! Corner unit with lots of windows for amazing views! This condo has everything you need and more! Waking up to breakfast on the lanai and watching surfers to watching the sunsets and surfers was so special and perfect every morning/night!! So many turtles playing in the surf right out side the condo…. I couldn’t stop watching them! Ohhh and the birds at sunset - incredible! We found ourselves wanting to get back to our condo every afternoon so we could enjoy it!!! Don’t look at any others condos…. Just book this one…. Yes it’s a little more expensive but WORTH every penny…. To walk right out your door to this piece of paradise heaven!!

The BEST ocean view

This property is perfect for those who love to look at the ocean. There is a view from every window and you sleep with the sound of the ocean all night. The condo was equipped with everything we needed and even provided beach chairs and pop-up tent. It is a short walk to a beach and restaurant. I plan to stay there again when we return to Kauai.

Great ocean view

Jennifer’s place was fantastic. The ocean view is incredible, with it being a corner unit you have a full view out of multiple parts of the unit, and you’re only about 20ft from the water. We saw sea turtles and walked to the beach, couldn’t have asked for a better location. Only issue was our unit wasn’t ready at check in but we took about an hour walk and came back to everything in order.

Location!

Such a great location! Right on the ocean watching sunrises, sunsets, turtles, whales and surfers. The condo is very clean and a nicely stocked kitchen for cooking meals. Walking distance to shops and restaurant. Disappointed in dirty windows, a rusted table on the lanai with plastic chairs that would blow away in the wind.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Kiriakos

Host profile image
We are a family of seven (Girls 3, Boys 2) plus 5 grandkids and live in Southern California. We love to travel to new places but always enjoy coming back to our 'Home away from home' on Kauai.

Why they chose this property

The entire family loves the water so Kauai is a perfect place to play. We have owned a condo in Kuhio Shores for over 40 years and purchased this second unit in Spring 2020.
Surfing, boogie boarding, diving, kayaking and enjoying the ocean views and sea life from our condo's lanai makes Kuhio Shores #109 & #309 perfect for us. We can enjoy these activities right out front while other family members can watch from the lanai.

What makes this property unique

Even though we have been coming to Kauai for over 40 years, sometimes several times a year, we still find new things to do and wonders to see. Petroglyphs at Maha'ulepu Beach, the Awa'awapuhi Swamp Trail, Lawai Beach (restricted access), ocean kayaking to Kipu Kai, Kalihiwai rope swing, river Kayaking (Hanalei, Waimea, Kalihiwai), swimming behind Hanakapi'ai Falls on the Napali coast, Secret Beach, the list goes on. Our condo is central, 1 hr. from the west end of Polihale Beach and 90 minutes to the other end at Ke'e Beach. Of course sometimes the best thing is just to kick back on our lanai and watch the whales, surfers and turtles with a cold drink in hand.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
