Fabulous Location near Shipwreck Beach and Grand Hyatt Resort
We purchased this lovely ground floor garden view condo in April, 2013. This condominium has a large master bedroom with A/C. The master bedroom has an an en-suite master bath with a walk in shower. Our home also has a half bath for your convenience. Our spacious lanai is an excellent place to kick back and enjoy your morning coffee or romantic dinner. Poipu Sands is located directly next to the ocean near famous Shipwreck Beach and adjacent to the Kauai Grand Hyatt Resort and Spa. The Grand Hyatt resort offers lush tropical grounds, casual and fine dining as well as shops and entertainment. Shipwreck Beach, located in front of the Hyatt is usually sunny and less crowded than other Poipu Beaches. This is a beautiful beach to take a romantic evening stroll and is often used as the backdrop for wedding photos. Poipu Sands is located within the upscale Poipu Kai resort. The Poipu Kai development is located on 70 acres and extends from Poipu Beach to Shipwreck Beach. The resort is connected by a green belt that has beautiful garden paths winding through it. The Kiahuna Golf Course and the Poipu Bay Golf Course are both in very near proximity. The Poipu Kai tennis and pickleball club is just a short walk from our unit. You may also enjoy a game of tennis on Poipu Sands private tennis court. Poipu Sands is the only complex within Poipu Kai that offers a private tennis court. Poipu Sands also offers a large seasonally heated private swimming pool. You also have access to an additional pool and hot tub just a short walk down the green belt path. Poipu Beach which has been ranked as one of the top beaches in the United States is just a short 10 minute walk from our unit along the pleasant Poipu Kai green belt. This beach has both a shallow area which is excellent for swimming with small children and a great snorkeling area as well. This is a favorite spot to see napping endangered monk seals and Hawaiian sea turtles. Old Koloa Town located less than five miles away is the site of the island's first sugar mill. Historic Old Koloa Town is a hub of picturesque shops, eateries, gift and souvenir emporiums. There are a variety of Luaus throughout Kauai including one at the Grand Hyatt Resort right next door. You may also enjoy a horse back ride along the Mahaulepu Coast line, renting a stand up paddle board to enjoy the ocean surf or dining at the large variety of nearby restaurants ranging from family fare to upscale and romantic. Take a lovely evening stroll along the green belt to Poipu Beach to enjoy the sunset then come home to enjoy dinner on your very own quiet and comfortable lanai.

Fantastic location next to Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach. Quiet complex with very clean grounds and pool. Will definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family!
A beautiful location and a terrific host. Kathy (the owner) was very responsive and accomandated a slightly early check-in since the unit was ready. The condo was very clean and well appointed. All the basics were already there in terms of spices, cooking oil, and every pot, pan, or untensil you could ever need. Beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler, all ready for use. I absolutely would recommend this property and this unit specifically to future guests.
This condo is in a great location and we enjoyed our time here. The condo was very clean and exactly as described. It was nice to be close to the ocean but also have access to a beautiful pool area as well.
Communication was great with Kathy and she was always very responsive.
This property is central to many popular experiences on the South Shore of Kauai. Check in was easy, communication was wonderful, and the unit itself was immaculate. The air conditioning in the master suite was a wonderful treat. Thank you very much for sharing your home with us. We truly enjoyed our stay.
Kathy & Bob,
This accommodation was perfect in so many ways. The unit was well stocked with initial kitchen supplies, beach equipment and information of local dining options. We enjoyed our hiking in Kokee State Park as well as walks from the unit. Our morning sunrise walks were a great way to start the day.
It was a great four days of relaxation and maybe we’ll get back there again. Many thanks, Don & Charlene P.
Went to Waikiki for a wedding then decided to come to Kauai for the first time. The condo was a perfect place to use as a home base to see all the sights and to relax. I loved the location next to the Grand Hyatt so there were many scenic walking areas.
First time on an island Hawaii! Kaua’i is Stunning ! The condo very clean, the bed very comfortable, quiet, and so relaxing ! 10/10 recommended, we can’t wait to book our next trip in this fabulous condo again!
Thank you for everything!
The condo was great, fresh and clean. Very comfy furniture, especially the dining room chairs and bed. Loved our walks to Shipwreck Beach. The complex grounds are beautiful, compliments to the gardeners. We had a lovely stay. Thank you!
Great location to watch both the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. The facility is perfect for two people and is convenient and close to lots of amenities.
Perfect place to stay! Lots of room and very very well stocked. My now husband and I stayed there for 8 nights and got married just down the beach at shipwrecks beach. It was perfect! Perfect place to walk to the cliff and watch the sunrise. We really hope to come back one day!
We enjoyed everything about this condo. The location is perfect! The only thing had nothing to do with the owner or the condo itself. It is with the cleaners. I don't think they wash the floors. You shouldn't be wearing shoes inside but we found the floors to be so dirty that we had no choice. Hopefully that was just a one time thing. But, we will definitely be back to this condo in the future. The owner was easy to get a hold of and the condo is lovely. We have stayed in a LOT of condos in Hawaii and this is the best one on Kauai that we've stayed. We'll be back!!
We loved staying in this updated unit that had everything we wanted! The beach was just steps away and we could walk to our anniversary dinner at Tidepools at the Grand Hyatt. Great location to get to many fun activities on the island.
This ground floor home is adorable. She has thought of everything, Its close to resorts with amazing food. Enjoyed spending our last 3 nights on the south shore. The AC in the bedroom gets the room perfect to fall asleep. I am a light sleeper and needed to get ear plugs so it could be run off and on at night as needed. We were very busy and did not hang out during the day. We used the pool once it was a great cool off at the end of the day.
This condo is a great value. Only downside was no central AC, and one of the beach chairs was broken when we arrived but I don't think the owner was aware of this. Overall, great location and very comfortable place to spend two weeks!
We loved this property for its closeness to Shipwreck Beach. Everything that you could think of was supplied by the owner. The only issue I had was operating the TV! The 2 remotes were confusing to this older lady. Following the instructions left by the owner didn't always work, but then who watches that much TV when you are vacationing in paradise. I highly recommend this property!
Very nice property. We especially enjoyed the size and layout of the rooms. A big advantage for us was having the spacious main bathroom and a powder room. The kitchen was well appointed and stocked with paper products and soaps, detergents and scrubbies. Having the laundry in the unit was very convenient as well.
I contacted the owner(s) with minor questions during our stay and the always responded within minutes. Definitely will stay here again.
We stayed for four nights. The condo was beautiful and super well equipped. You can see that the owners use this as a personal destination. Large comfortable bedroom and one and a half large baths. AC in the bedroom was a nice edition but we were comfortable with the island breeze most of the time. First floor unit with a large walk out patio. Huge front lawn with view towards Shipwreck Beach. Very nice pool. Lovely walkway along the beach. Easy drive or about a 15 minute scenic walk over to Poipu Beach. Wished we had planned to stay longer.

About the host
Hosted by Kathy Cannone
We have lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 45 years and have been coming to Hawaii since 1982 to escape our cold, dark winters. We spent several years researching where we wanted our winter getaway to be located. After visiting several places, we choose Poipu, Hawaii because of the consistent weather conditions, the outdoor activities and the friendly people. We absolutely love our home in Kauai and we are excited to share it with you.
Why they chose this property
We loved Poipu Sands because of all the beautiful green space that surrounds the complex. The feeling that you get at the Sands is one of openness. Poipu Sands sits directly near the beachfront. There is no road between the condos and the ocean.
What makes this property unique
Poipu Sands is uniquely located within walking distance of both Shipwreck Beach and Poipu Beach. Beautiful walking paths connect us to both beaches.
