Beautiful Oceanview 1 Bedroom Poipu Condo

This fully equipped condo on the 3rd floor had everything you could want. The grounds were lovely and the pool was clean and quiet. You can walk to shopping, the beach and restaurants if you wish. It's under a mile. Lawai beach across the street is very small but has good snorkeling. Allerton Mcbryde Botanical Gardens are also just up the road, as us Spouting Horn, a beautiful ocean blow-hole.

This is great place to stay for a couple.

The good and the bad:

Good: great location near several nice beaches. Lots of space and generally nice decor including great kitchen. Also there is a washer/dryer and beach equipment. Also outside near the street there’s a washing station to clean your shoes&feet after the beach which is very convenient

Bad: no A/C. The bedroom is ok with the ceiling fan and the screen door to the balcony open but the living room was really stuffy (and kind of mildew smelling at times) and sometimes an inferno. Owners should install a ceiling fan in there as well. There is a box fan but didn’t find it until the morning we left (it’s tucked underneath the shelf in the utility room behind the washer/dryer - the owners could have pointed that out in the info sheet). Also the coffee table is glass and low and we kept banging our shins against the edge of it. Super annoying and painful.

There’s also no elevator and the unit is on the 3rd floor so if you have heavy luggage that’s a bitch.

There’s also not nearly enough parking so had to park on the street most nights, sometimes a block or two away. There is a garage next door but apparently you need a permit from the property manager who never seemed to be in his office.

Finally bring ear plugs. The roosters and the wild parrots put on quite the avian display at sunrise (and sunset) so unless you sleep like the dead be prepared for quite the racket in the morning. Oh and the shades are not blackout so bring a sleeping mask.

Probably better to just stay at a hotel but if you don’t mind these inconveniences it’s a fine place to stay, especially for the price.

This was a really nice place to stay. Beautiful ocean breeze kept the place cool in spite of no AC, which we did not miss. Nice view from balcony of the ocean and historic ruins.

Prince Kuhio resort is not new but very well maintained. We loved our stay here

Very nice place. Enjoyed our stay.
