About this property

Gorgeous Ocean View and Just Steps to the Beach!

Ocean views, the rustle of palm trees, the beach 100 steps away, and the sound of waves lulling you to sleep. We welcome you to Island Style Living on Kauai!
Beautiful natural cherry cabinets, slab granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances, new electrical and light fixtures, paint, flooring, and window coverings. Next we furnished our condo with quality teak and rattan furniture, a comfortable king size bed, soft linens, a 50” flatscreen HDTV, SMART BluRay DVD player, Wifi Internet, along with a library of DVD movies and a book library filled with many local, historical, and Kauai guide books and maps. Gorgeous ocean views are amplified by a large mirror on one living room wall, inviting additional views of the ocean. And my creative husband made a driftwood lamp for our living room after I couldn’t find one that I liked. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook, bake, or bbq, with everything imaginable including spices, paper products, dish soap, sponges, plastic wrap, and foil. Everything to keep your eating costs down. And we didn’t forget your activities so there are beach towels, beach chairs, , and a small cooler. This unit comes fully furnished with kitchen items including microwave oven,
linens, bath and beach towels, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, cable TV,
free wireless internet, TV, stereo, CD & DVD player. Starter supplies of soap and paper products are provided. This condo does not have air conditioning, but normally tropical trade winds will keep you comfortable. Ceiling fans are in the bedroom.

Wake up in the morning and enjoy a cup of coffee while watching the waves in Hoai Bay only 100 feet away. Most mornings you can watch fishermen shore cast their nets hawaii-style into the ocean. Walk 2 minutes across the street to Lawai Beach for Poipu's best snorkeling (10 ft of clear water, tropical fish, turtles, and an occasional Monk Seal) and surfing (Pk's & Center's). All along Poipu's sunny shoreline is turtle country. Or take advantage of Prince Kuhio Resort's lush gardens and newly remodeled pool. Next door is Prince Kuhio Park. Full of history. Explore this park with its sacred Heiau (ancient hawaiian place of worship), monument to Prince Kuhio (last royal heir to the throne), and an ancient stone fish pond.

Prefer to take a walk? Walk down Lawai Road, past multi million dollar homes to the small boat harbor and on to Spouting Horn. Or take a short 15 minute walk to Kukui'ula Shopping Center with it's upscale shops, art galleries, fresh island restaurants, natural grocery store/deli, and Wednesday’s Farmer’s Market featuring local produce, baked goods, flowers, and many Hawaii made products. All while musicians play hawaiian music and sellers hand out samples!

Nearby attractions include Spouting Horn (a natural ocean geyser), gorgeous Allerton Gardens (with Jurassic Park trees) or McBryde Gardens (National Tropical Botanical Gardens), historic Koloa Town, many golf courses, hike Poipu Sandstone Shoreline Trail (look for whales and dolphins), take a horseback tour, or walk 100 feet to Hoai Bay for great diving and snorkeling. Even more island activities, adventures, and attractions are an easy drive away. At the end of your day, walk across the street for dinner at the award-winning Beach House restaurant and a sunset view you won't forget. Or stop by one of the local island markets and prepare your meals in our fully equipped kitchen. Prince Kuhio Resort's outdoor gas grills and dining area are also available for your use.

Whether you spend your days shopping, snorkeling at Lawai Beach, touring and exploring, or you venture further across the island to visit Hanalei, hike the Kalalau Trail, take an ATV tour, kayak the Wailua River, swim in a waterfall, hike along Waimea Canyon, go coffee tasting, or take an exciting helicopter tour of the island, you'll love coming home to relax at our beautiful condo. And don't forget to grab a favorite beverage and your camera, walk across the street to the lawns at the Beach House Restaurant and watch fabulous ever changing sunsets.

My husband and I have been happily spending time at Prince Kuhio for many years. We are an original owner of a studio purchased in 1977. When the opportunity arouse to purchase Prince Kuhio 201, an ocean view condo, we couldn’t stop ourselves! Kauai has always tugged at our hearts. We fell in love here and later married at the Fern Grotto when you could still walk inside it! We currently enjoy Kauai intermittently during the fall and winter months. Because we occasionally travel your inquiries or requests may be answered by our friend Florence Bergum.
We encourage all our guests to consider taking out trip insurance travel and accomodations, because our cancellation policy is strict.

Kauai has jusst imposed an additional 3% TAT tax to all rentals as of Oct. 1. 2021. This brings the total tax from 14.96% to 17.96%..

Mahalo for your interest in our island home.

Lava beach chill

Walking distance to the beach snorkeling on south side. Lava beach go in the morning. Sunsets at night are great there too. Florence responses asap and everything was fantastic. I would rent again. Great for families of 3 to 4 too if needed.

Convenient and beautiful

This property is so conveniently located. The neighbors are great and the beaches are (of course) incredible. The property owner doesn’t communicate with guests and the caretaker is pretty relaxed with communication as well. There were times we were wondering if we would have a place to stay when we got to the island. Free-roaming roosters crow day and night so be sure to bring ear plugs. We had a great time!

Great value and location for basing our 1 week Kauai vacation

This corner unit at the Prince Kuhio condominiums, though an older unit, fully satisfied our requirements. The Host was extremely responsive before and during our stay. The unit was an exceptional value, and the location across the road from the beach in the Po'ipu area was a great spot from where we could easily get to all of the activities we had planned. We dined in most of the week, and the well equipped kitchen fully met our needs and exceeded expectations. The condo unit we stayed in was situated such that pleasant trade winds could blow through the apartment and there was really no need for air conditioning. We were extremely comfortable. This was our first trip to Kauai and we were grateful for all of the information resources provided by the host. It made getting around and knowing what to do very easy.

Paradise found

The property has a stunning view of the ocean. You have the ability to cook, if you want, or are in proximity to some fabulous restaurants. The grounds are really pretty as well that includes a lovely pool. What was also important to me was to wash clothes, as we were here 2 weeks and a coin laundry is on the grounds. I recommend using the covered garage area to park because the outside lot fills up fast and isn't very easy to get out of.

This location was close to everything. We loved being able to use the grills. Listening to the ocean while you slept at night was so peaceful. The only drawback is the road noise but in this area it cannot be helped and it does slow down at night.

Wonderful condo

I've stayed at several condos in the Prince Kuhio complex and this was definitely my favorite. The layout was perfect. The condo was airy and bright with an awesome view. The bed was soooo comfy and the kitchen was well laid out and had pretty much everything we needed to cook all our meals. Of course we took full advantage of the lovely pool, the sunrise views from the lanai, and the sunset gatherings at Lawai beach. Great place, I hope we can come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Florence Bergum

Host profile image
My husband and I have owned property at Prince Kuhio since 1977. At that time we lived in Honolulu and came to Kauai for mini vacations. Later we moved to the mainland as Jimmy continued flying for a major airline. In 2014 we purchased and completely remodeled this unit, #201. A one bedroom, 1 bath ocean view condo. Though we travel the world, our hearts always pull us back to Kauai. Since retirement, we currently enjoy Kauai intermittently during the Fall and Winter months. We want to share our Kauai lifestyle with others, but we still travel occasionally so our friend Florence may answer your questions.

Why they chose this property

The island of Kauai and Prince Kuhio Resort has always been special to us. We bought our studio in 1977, we were married in the Fern Grotto (when you could actually walk inside the grotto), and have rebuilt twice after both hurricanes. In Feb 2014 we couldn't resist purchasing #201, an ocean view one bedroom condo. Remodeling began early Spring 2014 and was completed by Nov 2014.
Come and relax, make memories, and enjoy a week of adventures. Our sunny location provides the best Kauai has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The aloha spirit is everywhere!
