Watch the beautiful Pacific Ocean, surfers, dolphins, turtles, and whales (in season) from this very popular top-floor condo! It's no secret as to why this stunning one-bedroom oceanfront condo, just steps away from Lawai Beach, is one of the most popular at Kuhio Shores.

Step inside and watch your loved one’s eyes light up as you are greeted by jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean, perfectly framed by a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. With convenient amenities like a building elevator, a 32” cable flatscreen TV with DVD player, wireless Internet, and an iPod dock for setting the mood, you can kick back and let this romantic escape revitalize your spirit.

Open the windows, cuddle up on the couch, and plan your “Garden Isle” adventures in the spacious living room while ceiling fans and a tropical breeze set you at ease or switch on the A/C to cool you down even more. Cook alongside a sea of blue in the newly updated, open-concept kitchen, complete with granite countertops and an eat-in bar. Enjoy romantic dinners at the dining table while watching surfers catch a wave, or, depending on the season, keep a lookout for Humpback whales while dining alfresco on your private lanai.

A plush bedroom sleeps two in ultimate comfort. After a restorative night’s sleep, wake up to the soothing sound of crashing waves to start off a fun-filled day exploring the island.

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. Plus, you'll enjoy easy check-in and added security from our keyless Point Central Lock system.

Beautiful view
One elevator for the entire facility and this room is on the 4th floor. Minor repairs needed. Doors, window shades, etc. But they currently have a cockroach problem in the kitchen and throughout the apartment that I sincerely hope they address. They did not seem too concerned but we didnt want to leave our things on the floor or on the counters.

Condo needs a makeover
The view of the ocean was the best part of this condo. However, this location needs a makeover. The furniture is old and dated so it needs to be replaced except for the bed which was comfortable. The TV is too small to view for the distance from the couch. The outdoor patio furniture was dirty and uncomfortable with no cushions. The carpet needs to be replaced and shower door is off the channel. An investment needs to be put into this location to update it and make it functional. For the most part, it was clean. However, the cleaning crew did not open the screen window as we discovered a mound of dead insects in the window sill and had to kill 2 cockroaches during our stay. We also discovered bugs coming out of the kitchen sink drain during the day. This is not a contemporary place to stay.

The sounds of the Ocean
The location is amazing and conveniently located. When we walked into the unit we could immediately hear the waves crashing. Each morning and evening we enjoyed the views from lanai. The unit was a good size for 2 people, but some of the furniture was “tired” and uncomfortable. It also would have been nice if the bedroom had a small tv for the option to wind down and relax in the bedroom.

Amazing Views and Location
This property was absolutely incredible! The check in process was easy and the place was extremely clean when we arrived. The view is stunning. We enjoyed watching the surfers and even saw some turtles! The location couldn’t be better. Lawai beach was a 2 minute walk and was a great place to snorkel. You’re also only minutes away from Poipu. We really appreciated the welcome gifts and the fact that the rental was fully stocked with everything needed. We would 100% recommend and will definitely be back!

Great view of the ocean with nice waves crashing at night. Kitchen well stocked and bathroom clean etc! Furnishings are looking tired and worn but since we were out and about most of the time we didn’t mind. Overall nice property and good location a bit away from the crowds

Beautiful view, located in a great place!
Beautiful ocean view. Saw turtles daily. Comfy bed and 4 large pillows. Condo stocked with everything you need! So great to be able to use the 2 chairs, umbrella and cooler that was in the unit. 1 working elevator. Lots of great restaurants nearby with the beach house restaurant next door and close enough to walk to. Door lock was a pain and didn’t always work/open the first time. We would stay here again.

What a view!
We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy. We were captivated by the view from the lanai, watching the waves of the Pacific crashing on the rocks below or watching the surfers getting their day going. Sitting outside to watch the sunset was a treat. The kitchen had all the things we needed to dine in, and there were plenty of nearby choices for dining out. We really liked the layout of the unit; you could choose to eat at the counter, or from the dining table that looks out its own picture window, or on the lanai. A nice clean and relaxing place. No complaints whatsoever.

Great Sunsets
The location is central to all the activities on Kauai and as a bonus it has an unobstructed view of the ocean. There is a small grassy area on the ocean side that is one of the best spots on the island to watch the spectacular sunsets. A nice outdoor shopping mall with many restaurants is a decent walk away and on Wednesday’s the mall hosts a market with fresh produce and local vendors. The condo is very comfortable for a couple and all the utensils required to make your own meals are included. Also included are all the beach accessories you will need including umbrella, cooler, and beach chairs. Overall a great stress free vacation spot that should meet all your needs.

Fantastic location and perfect for a couple!
This was our 5th time in Kauai but first time at Kuhio Shores and we had a wonderful time! The location was fantastic. You can't get closer to the ocean unless you are in it. Wonderful views. We saw turtles and surfers from our lanai every day and the sound of the waves made the experience of staying in this unit something we will not forget. The furniture was comfortable including the bed (which is extremely important to us). The bathroom was clean and seemed newly updated, which is a plus. If I was to make a recommendation it would be to install floor tiles on the lanai which would elevate the experience of that space even better. Last but not least - thank you GVR for easy communication. We felt we were well taken care of by you and will definitely come back to this unit!!

Great view and location
This unit has a fantastic view and is in a great location. Being on the top floor is great, and the kitchen has most necessities. Some small storage containers would be nice. The lanai furniture is rusty. The large ottoman is definitely broken, as was reviewed previously. I fell hard into the center, as the springs are shot! The response to the other person was that a manager looked at it and it was fine - the manager needs to sit on it. The outdated metal, small, unadjustable sand chairs should be replaced with the more current Tommy Bahamas like almost all other places have, they were very uncomfortable. The lanai screen door is broken, Vacasa knows about this but it won't be fixed until August, which didn't help us during our April stay. The dishwasher was broken, we were informed about this before our arrival. We were compensated for that. There was a lot of contact with Vacasa regarding 3 issues, and I received some calls from them from private numbers. That left us feeling uneasy. Each call included requests to have service people enter if we weren't there, which we agreed to. There was no follow-up contact as to whether they actually came out and fixed anything, except for the nice technician who came out for the AC the 1st morning while we were there.The lack of clear communication from Vacasa, and amongst their employees left us feeling uncomfortable during our stay. We never knew if someone had entered while we were out or not, as nothing had changed.
