We had an amazing time at this Hidden Gem! The condo was exactly what we needed to have a wonderful trip. The home was clean, the beds were so comfortable, there was plenty of room and the view was indescribable. I would stay their again in a heartbeat. Our host was responsive and so kind, he made us feel so welcome. It was just a wonderful experience all around. I have only positive things to say!
Wonderful property in a great location! Easy access to some of the most popular beaches on the island as well as close to many restaurants. The host was quick to respond to questions as well as provided recommendations for things to do. The patio did get hot due to the AC fan, otherwise the views were amazing. The unit was also well stocked with plenty of beach gear, rolling cooler, sunscreen and bug spray. Highly recommended!

Our host, John was very welcoming from the time we booked the condo through our stay. He was quick to answer any questions. The condo was well-equipped with everything we could possibly wantbor need for our stay.
The host was very welcoming. Great location. Condo was clean. Beds were very comfortable.The condo had everything you needed such as water toys, beach chairs snorkel gear. 10 min walk to the beach to see the turtles. Highly recommend to anyone. Just FYI condo was on the 3rd floor.
The views were beautiful from the condo. It rained every day, so an umbrella would've been helpful. The patio was very small and hot because of a fan for the AC but that was a small issue compared to the rest. It was a wonderful place to stay!!
This was a great place for our family to stay on our vacation. This property had everything we could have needed and more. Close to several beaches and nice to have the pool downstairs! Would definitely stay again!
The townhome was clean and comfortable, gorgeous views off both sides! it was close to a trail to watch the sunrise and lots of great restaurants . Very comfy beds. Definitely a good value.
We had a wonderful vacation here, everything we needed was to be found in the condo. Peaceful coffee on the balcony in the morning. We enjoy our stay here!
We had a great week! The location was perfect right on the water and between both Shipwreck and Poipu beaches. The place was fully stocked and clean! Communication with the host was great and we had no problems during our stay! We would return back to this property!
Our family had such a great time at this property. Amazing views all over! We loved hearing the ocean at night. We were very relaxed staying here. The hosts provided everything we needed for our adventures. We will come back again!
Wonderful location with view of ocean and exciting crash of waves into cliff. Spotted whales and turtles from the lanai! Beautifully decorated and every detail considered from appliances to beach accessories. Hope to return someday!
Very nice condo in a great location. Owner thought of everything in regards to supplies and beach accessories. We spent the first part of our trip in Princeville and finished in Poipu Bay. Only there three nights. Hope to spend more time down South next time. Would absolutely stay in this unit again.
Great views from Lanai of waves crashing on rocks below.
Condo was clean and very well stocked. Appreciated all of the beach equipment, towels, and boogie boards. The kitchen was equipped very well with everything needed, including a large spice rack.
The only drawback is many stairs to deal with and the refrigerator ice makes was not working.
Overall a great condo. Would rent it again and have already recommended it to friends.
The condominium was exactly as shown in the photos. The decor was very nice, the television is huge. The cleaning was up to my high standards. There were also a ton of great details.
Check in was easy, as was check out.
There is a bit of a walk down an incline to get to the stairs to get to the condo. Just a heads up.
The view from the balcony was amazing. It was my happy place and I miss that the most.
I would recommend this place!

I am John, enthusiastic travelers who have visited or lived in several countries in Europe, Asia, and North America, and continue to travel the world. After all of that exploring, I found a few favorite spots that I kept returning to again and again. Kauai is definitely one of those! Owning a vacation rental on Hawaii’s most beautiful island is a great excuse to visit paradise every once in a while.
