About this property

Superior Retreat W/Lanai and Kitchen–Poipu Shores

Castle Po'ipū Shores 301A: Live like you own Kauai’s sunny Poipu Coast! Pure nirvana at the ocean’s edge, this 913 sq ft Superior Ocean Front suite wows with waves crashing against lava rocks just feet beyond your private lanai. Why leave your “home away from home” when you can spot honu swimming in a Hawaiian green sea turtle sanctuary below and whales frolicking offshore in the winter?

Enjoy mai tais and ahi poke at sunset. Then prep fresh mahi mahi in the modern open-style kitchen with granite counter-tops, and stainless steel appliances including a double refrigerator and dishwasher.

You’ll also enjoy floor-to-ceiling sliders allowing gorgeous Pacific vistas to flow into the living area with tasteful tropical décor, washer/dryer, DVD, flat screens, WiFi, ceiling fans and cool tile floors.

An ocean panorama also highlights the master suite with its ultra chic bath featuring a walk-in shower with rain shower-head. Sleeps 4 in 1 King Bed and 2 Twins (that can be converted into 1 King Bed upon request).

Blending homey island living with amazing ocean views and hotel-style amenities, Poipu Shores’ spacious 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom ocean front suites each feature a large private lanai, WiFi, washer/dryer, ceiling fans, flat screens and full kitchen for dining ease. Enjoy a heated freshwater swimming pool, “The Hut” open-air lounge, barbecue areas and guest services desk. Area activities include Poipu Beach Resort golf, tennis, horseback riding, dining and shopping.
