POIPU SHORES 101A AT KOLOA KAI VACATION RENTALS

Any closer to the ocean and your feet would get wet! Poipu Shores 101A sits directly oceanfront, allowing your ohana (family) to experience the best of Hawaii up close and personal. This condo has been completely updated with three a/c units and high-tech touches like an iPod dock, DVD player, and free WiFi. Curl up on the sectional couch to get amazing views through the patio doors and large picture windows.

Just like home, the fully-equipped and updated kitchen has everything you need to feed your hungry guests. Serve up your meals around the table just off the kitchen or out on the lanai’s four-person patio table. The views don’t stop once you go to bed; the main bedroom has a huge picture window overlooking the Pacific. The guest room is well-appointed with extra sleeping accommodations for more guests. Beautifully redone, both bathrooms have high-end touches like marble counters and tile showers. The condo comes with other helpful amenities like a stackable washer and dryer, linens, and beach towels.

Modern amenities make your stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. Bluetooth stereos and Smart TVs offer the latest in entertainment, and our electronic charging stations mean your group will never have to fight over outlets.

Why We Love This Home

Just Steps from the Ocean: The condo sits right on the ocean, so close you can taste and smell the saltwater. During the day, sit on the private lanai to watch sea turtles and dolphins splash in the blue waters as the warm breezes blow across your face. In the winter months, observe humpback whales migrate through the area.

Convenient Access to Pool: Located on the ground floor, the condo’s private lanai is the closest to the pool entrance. Wake up each morning and claim your spot around the heated pool that sits right on the water.
Instagram-Worthy Sunsets: Each night, gather in the grassy area next to the pool with your fellow travelers to experience some of the most incredible sunsets. Enjoy amazing views and make new friends in the process!

Grab the towels, umbrellas, and beach chairs, and take a short five-minute walk to Brennecke Beach, a hot spot for turtle-watching and bodyboarding. A large grassy area with picnic tables and covered pavilions connects Brennecke to popular Poipu Beach, along with snorkeling, swimming, and surfing, Poipu Beach also has a small baby beach protected from the waves that are perfect for kids.

Fantastic property
To start with, the location of this property is ideal, sandwiched between multiple beaches in walking or very short driving distance. The checkin process was very easy and the young lady at the office was very pleasant and friendly. The unit might take a second to locate, but we absolutely loved the view and having the pool practically in our back yard. We saw lots of turtles, the moonrise was gorgeous, and the waves crashing on the rocks are spectacular. The only thing I would caution is that there is no privacy tinting on the master bedroom windows, so everyone can see you as clearly as you can see them. Careful! The unit had absolutely everything we needed, boogie boards and fins were greatly appreciated. The kitchen had basic spices and oil. The beds were very comfortable. We made several stops at the farmer’s fruit stand just outside the neighborhood. Quick drive to Old town Koloa, which we loved, and into Poipu. Our best meal by far was at Rumfire in the Sheraton. High dollar, but food, service and ambiance were all top notch. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Beautiful Oceanside stay
This was a beautiful, nicely updated property right next to the ocean and steps from the pool. We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed seeing sea turtles just over the wall from the pool area. Good proximity to restaurants. A/C worked well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a central location on the south side.

Perfect ocean view vacation spot
We would 100% recommend this apartment for a stay in Kaua’i. Location was perfect and close to a lot of beaches and restaurants. You cannot beat the sound of the ocean…it never gets old! The condo itself was the best equipped I have ever seen: anything you would need in the kitchen is available. While we didn’t cook there, we could if we wanted to. Everything you need for the beach is available including coolers (with already frozen ice packs), chairs, etc. plenty of supplies available. We highly recommend Poipu shores!!! Would definitely come back.

Sleep with the Ocean
Poipu Shores is an amazing place to stay! We slept with the window open every night to hear the ocean waves crash on the rocks. The stars were another added bonus as you can lay in bed and see them! We walked every morning to see the sunrise toward the Grand Hyatt and every evening we walked to Poipu Beach to see sunset and the sea turtles lying on the beach. The sunset at the condo is amazing but the beach had the sea turtles! The pool is nice and clean and you can see turtles swimming below sometimes.

Excellent Location
It is awesome to have the crashing ocean waves out your back door and enjoy the serene setting while eating out on the lanai. We spotted many whales and turtles from the property. The most popular beaches on Poipu are less than a 10 minute walk just out the back door and along a beachfront trail. The beach towels, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and boogie board were a nice touch.

Gorgeous Poipu Location
Wonderful condo! Lovely, comfortable bed and furnishings. Large, well stocked kitchen. Just me and my husband on this trip, so lots of space, but 2 bedrooms, so would be perfect for 4. Loved the first floor patio with lawn and ocean view just out the door. Pool access right out the door as well, spectacular sunset views every night!

Poipu Condo
Our stay was a mixed experience. Poipu is absolutely wonderful. The condo is has a great view, the front office staff is lovely, and there is most everything you would need. Though it lacked some basics like bath mats and extra towels/blankets. They accommodated an early check in request, though I don't think they communicated it to the property manager. After we checked in we were very surprised when an employee let herself into the condo. She was apologetic and it wasn't a big issue, but it was awkward. Additionally, I think housekeeping may have rushed through cleaning. The floors had not been cleaned at all and since they have a no shoes rule, our feet and socks were constantly dirty. We also found that many dishes in the cabinets had caked on food and hadn't been washed. Additionally, during our first evening, around 11pm an alarm went off and continually went off overnight. We called the emergency line provided and left a message, but nobody returned our call. When we called the front office in the morning, they advised us it's not their responsibility, but the condo owner. We hadn't heard back from VRBO and after hearing we had a night of no sleep with a loud alarm and no call back, the front office was nice enough to send their maintenance guy over who was able to turn the alarm off. We also had the hot water go out, which required maintenance in and out of the unit one day. The location and staff is great and the condo is okay, but I wouldn't stay here again.

Great Spot
This was a perfect home base for us! The pool is literally right out the back door, there was plenty of space for 4 people, and it had all basic necessities for a beach vacation. Location to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu was great (about a 5 or 10 minute walk), and everything else was close by. The condo was clean and worked well for our family. We would recommend this to friends based on the cleanliness and location alone. The only weird parts of our stay: the tiny, thin bath towels provided (and you get literally 4 - one for each person). I reached out to the management co who said we should just wash them if we need more, but after some convincing brought us two extra; I guess better than no extra. Also to note, there were no other extras of anything except a pillow with no case - 0 additional blankets, exactly 4 washcloths, 4 beach towels, 2 hand towels, no bath mats, etc. This is fine, but on vacation mom having to do multiple loads of laundry a day just to have dry towels is kind of annoying. Finally, the ‘master’ bath situation was a little funky (the doors are 2 slatted pocket doors and close over the sink area but there is no other door inside for the toilet/shower area). Needless to say, there’s not a ton of privacy going to the bathroom/showering even with the doors closed. Not a game changer for our family, but I would have appreciated knowing if it was a different companion situation! Overall this is an amazing place and we would definitely stay again!

GREAT Location and well stocked unit
This is a great location on Poipu Beach, you can't get closer to the ocean and it is a short walk to the beach. Also a convenient location to explore the Island, close to Lahina and all there is to see on the South shore. We loved having a first floor unit where we could have breakfast or sit out on the lawn. Super convenient to the pool. A couple of minor notes, the parking lot was tight for our mid-sized SUV, and you have to descend some stairs to to get to the unit (elevator available).
