Kauai South Shore Tropical Retreat, A/C, Walk to Beaches

Step out to the private lanai as soon you arrive, and take a deep breath. Your mind is instantly reset by birds chirping in the trees and the tropical foliage all around.

Take the 10 minute walk to several beaches, or 2 minute drive if you carry beach gear. Loading and unloading grocery or beach gear is super easy: designated parking spot next to the private entrance. Enjoy a family meal prepared in the spacious remodeled kitchen. AC throughout plus 4 ceiling fans keep you cool and comfortable. Pamper yourselves with locally made bath products in the 2 full bathrooms.

Quiet and secluded, yet easy access to beaches, shops, restaurants, shopping. A great jumping off point to explore the island! After snorkling or hiking, enjoy downtime by playing a board game, or stream your favorite show from any of the 3 smart TVs.

Comfortable condo in a quiet garden-like setting
Peaceful and quiet. Good kitchen to work in. Nice lanai off kitchen and living area to have coffee on every morning. Location in crater was fun, and kept us out of congestion even though we were close to all that is Poipu. Nicer selection of guest amenities than usual. Chenni was good to communicator.

The condo was very clean, and comfortable. The lush landscape was beautiful, with birds entertaining us any time we were on the lanai. The location is convenient to everything in the Poipu area, but very private - especially sitting out on the lanai!

Christmas stay
Homes was clean on arrival. Well stocked with everything you would ever need. Location is good. Very close to beach but you do have to walk down (and back up) a pretty decent hill. This is not usually an issue until you want to take chairs, beach toys, umbrella etc etc etc with you and then it can be just as easy to drive. Lots of room. Layout is a little quirky but fine overall. Porch was nice and we had a red crested cardinal visit us daily. Pool was fine but we didn’t spend a lot of time there. Area quiet. Our only complaint is I’m not personally a fan of the windows they use cause they don’t really close. I know this is an island thing and not really the fault of the owner but the part I don’t like is that it will sometimes make the inside feel moist and allow you to hear so much more from outside than you want to. People walking, cars, mowing etc. The downstairs bedroom and bath smelled mildewed on some days. Our daughter even noticed it. I am not sure if that was a result of the window situation. I seen NO wet or mold areas inside the home (we looked all over to make sure something wasn’t leaking etc). I would stay here again as outside the occasional mildew smell it was a lovely place.

Nice condo in great location
This was a great condo in a perfect location for our family. Condo is nice inside with modern appliances and TVs. Enjoyed sitting outside in the well sheltered lanai among the trees, birds, and rain showers. The mature landscaping and privacy in the crater were the perfect setting for relaxing. Easy walk to the beaches via roads or trails. Appreciated the beach towels. Good layout for air flow with open windows and fans. Didn't use the AC but I'm sure it would be nice during warmer times. Would definitely stay here again.

We've practically lived our whole 9 days on the beautiful lanai in this Poipu Crater home. More room than we needed this home is equipped with great appliances, plenty of towels and Tommy Bahama beach chairs and umbrellas. Beds were comfortable. Only thing lacking was a kettle (we drink a lot of tea - used a pan). Thank you. We'll be back!

This was a clean place that was away from the busy beach. The kitchen was well appointed and allowed us to have pleasant meals we made or brought back from food trucks. The AC worked well and was really only needed at night since the main bedroom was upstairs.

This property has a beautiful location and is close to our favorite Poipu beaches. The amenities are excellent- full kitchen, 3 A/C units, washer/dryer, pool - with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Although very close to the beach, the route has a steep hill which was not easy for us to walk up. I'm sure that younger visitors could handle it, though. The owner was always available via text for any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Peaceful Stay!
The condo was very clean and had most everything that we needed. We wanted a peaceful, serene setting, and we were happy to discover that it was just that! We hardly knew people were around! Our favorite thing was sitting in the large, covered lanai. We did this most mornings and evenings- very private, with lush green plants surrounding it. Also, having A/C was so nice, if we needed it in the evenings. Jenny was a great host- she is quick to respond to any questions/issues. We really appreciated her helpfulness! There is a nice coffee shop within walking distance. Also enjoyed our daily walks to the path that runs along the Grand Hyatt- no need to drive there- very close to condo. GH has lovely setting, and a beach- just breath taking! Thank you for sharing your condo with us!
