We love the location of this VRBO. Right on the water and close to mini great restaurants, shops, and grocery stores. The house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of TP, paper towels, beach towels, ocean gear, including snorkel stuff, wake surf boards a catching a surfboard even. The binoculars were especially helpful during whale season. I definitely would recommend staying at this VRBO and we will be back.
This condo is right on the ocean and we loved hearing the waves all day long. The hosts set this up with all the supplies we needed: kitchen, cookware, coolers, boogie boards, beach chairs..etc. the AC was lovely in the bedrooms at night. Our family had a wonderful time!
We loved our stay at Kuhio Shores. The oceanfront location is incredible. It was a dream to wake up, open the windows, and sit on the lanai in the morning watching the waves & the surfers. Instant relaxation. Nighttime is also a great time for stargazing. The listing is an accurate description of the condo. We didn’t cook, so cannot comment much on the kitchen, though it is updated & well stocked. The rooms are spacious with working ACs. My preference is for a firmer mattress, but overall, we were very comfortable. There were plenty of towels available. For two adults, the unit was very spacious. The unit has beach amenities and is an easy walk to a nearby beach. The location is great with a lot of eateries and shops nearby. The owners were very responsive to any questions I had. I would not hesitate to book this property again.
The condo is in a great spot. The ocean views were amazing. The place is a little dated in some ways that I did not expect in this price range but overall it was good.
The location is awesome. We loved watching the sea turtles and surfers. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, beaches. We look forward to staying here again!
Beautiful views at this beachfront property! Close to amazing snorkeling areas. Chris was very attentive to a maintenance issue that we had. Communication was great and were able to come to a resolution. Would stay again!
What a great condo and the view was amazing, especially with a south swell! Chris was super accommodating - will definitely stay here again on a future visit!
The accomodations are comfortable and geared to island life. The view is spectacular!! The kitchen has all you need for making memorable meals. Both bathrooms provide the basics and the shower is perfect. Plenty of mirrors and lighting. The only caveat is that the AC is in the bedrooms, not the LR/kitchen. Most days were fine. It would be helpful if there was a curtain in LR to use when the sun shines in. Towels were plentiful along with TP, kleenex, outdoor gear, garbage bags, cleaning supplies and conidments and seasonings in the kitchen along with storage containers. We highly recommend this lovely property.
Amazing location—able to view sunrises and sunsets every day, overlooking the water, with beaches and restaurants close by. Quiet condo association, communal laundry area but need quarters to operate. Overall great stay, can’t wait to come back!
The apartment had everything we needed with access to beaches and snorkeling within walking distance. There was extra boogie boards and snorkel gear so we didn’t have to rent our own equipment. The view is incredible and we watched the sunset every night. We would definitely stay here again.
The location of this property was amazing. Our favorite place was sitting at the table with the corner view and the waves crashing below. We thought it might be time for a few updates but overall we loved staying there!
The location is absolutely perfect! Right next to a great bar/restaurant. Snorkeling and beach just a few feet away. We sat on the balcony daily and watched the whales. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Awesome view and clean well/equipped condo.
The condo was exactly what is advertised. Kitchen is well stocked. Condo was clean and well maintained with awesome views. The beach chairs and coolers were a great extra for our week stay.
I would suggest more bath towels and wash clothes added to prevent washing everyday.
I would recommend this condo and will stay here again.
I rarely give ANYTHING/ANYONE 5☆ but I can't think of ANYTHING that needed improved... nothing. Condo views are bar none THE BEST! The ocean is loud (good thing) can't hear any chickens in the am. Bed was comfortable. We WILL be back!

Fun NYE at Kuhio Shores
This unit at Kuhio Shores exceeded my family's expectations in terms of the view - the ocean is literally within spitting distance, it's spectacular. We got to watch sea turtles gather right outside the patio every morning, saw whales spouting in the distance and could even see the Poipu fireworks on New Years Eve. Given we have a 5 year old, the lack of a pool and a sandy beach were lowlights, but overall the area is fantastic, the unit is in great shape, very clean and comfy, we had a great experience and would highly recommend staying here!
The place had a great view. There was some construction in the building but overall that did not impact us. The place is a little dated which is shown in the pictures but it is well appointed and comfortable. The owners are great and were very helpful with information about the area. Poipu beach is close so that was convenient. there is a very small beach you can walk to but a bit rocky so bring water shoes. The house had beach chairs, boogie boards etc which was nice. The house is right next to the Beach House restaurant which is amazing. Thank you
Beautiful Views, Great Snorkeling, Great Location!
My husband, our two kids (8 and 11), and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chris' condo. It was very well-appointed, had amazing views of the ocean and sunsets, and was in a great location with lots of restaurants and stores nearby. There was beach gear (i.e. chairs, boogie boards, ice chests, etc.) in the condo, which made it extremely convenient to enjoy our time on the many beaches that we explored during our stay. There is great snorkeling right outside of the condo and on the nearby Poipu beach (lots of tropical fish and sea turtles), and we enjoyed watching sea turtles and manta rays swimming by the rocks from our balcony. We even got to watch the turtles come up onto shore at sunset to rest on Poipu beach, which was incredible to see. We would highly recommend this condo to others visiting Kauai!
This condo was excellent for our group of 2 couples.
The ocean front lanai provided us with views of humpback whales, spinner dolphins, sea turtles as well as beautiful views of the sunrises and sunsets daily.
Lawa'i Beach is a small sand beach beside the condo which provided some good snorkeling (some waves, but still worked pretty well for us) and more sunset views. There were quite a few fish and some turtles to see while snorkeling.
The condo had everything we needed to relax, cook meals and go the beach. It was clean and very comfortable.
Other good swimming / snorkeling beaches and restaurants at Poipu were easy to get to by car within a 10 minute drive.
Greg and Chris were great hosts, providing all that we needed in the condo and answering our questions quickly.
We really enjoyed our stay at 214 Kuhio shores. So close to the ocean, fun to listen to the waves!
We enjoyed watching the whales & turtles from our balcony. Turn your head slightly and watch surfers. Finally in the evening you have the best views of the sunset on the whole island. Sit at the dining table and all of these views are available, also.
The owners were great to communicate with.
We appreciated this because our old VRBO account was lost when VRBO changed to the One Key reward system.
In some small ways, a few updates would be nice.
The refrigerator works well but some of the gaskets needs repair, so replacement of the refrigerator would be good.
We would really recommend this place as the price & location is great!
With the wonde
Waterfront extraordinary. Turtles. Surfers, beach, and snorkeling steps away.
One of the best places we’ve stayed. The star of this place is the view and the excellent AC in both bedrooms. You are literally oceanfront about 15 yards from the ocean and you can see the turtles from your lanai. You can step out of your apartment and get a fantastic sunset. It’s steps away from snorkeling and a small beach. Beachhouse restaurant is right next-door with its world renowned views. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were nice although the second bedroom has a little bit of a unique shower and toilet area. Kitchen is well appointed. The beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, and cooler were all appreciated. Only two minor complaints one no icemaker after you fill trays to the zippers on the chairs and the cooler or difficult to operate or wouldn’t work at all on the chairs because of salt corrosion.

stayed in unit #214 7/09....
stayed in unit #214 7/09. Was fantastic! right on
the surf (be careful of the low cost units as they
don/t have the view!) and the view makes it. Drank
coffee each morning 40ft from the surf, watched
sea turtles daily from anywhere in the condo. Unit
was stocked with anything you'll need
(kitchen/towels/chairs/etc).Clean, roomy and
comfortable did I mention the view? takes your
breath away when you arrive. If you want to keep
the back sliding glass door open (we did) you'll
listen to the surf all night (best sleep I've had in
years!). Chuck, the owner was very easy to work
with and accomodating. I'll be recommending this
to a few friends. If you are looking for a fantastic
place to stay in kauai you've found it! 5 STARS OUT
OF 4!!
