Spectacular Floor-To-Ceiling Ocean View, Ground Floor For Direct Ocean Access!!!

On Kauai's sunny south shore. Floor to ceiling windows on the lanai, for the full width of the condo facing spectacular ocean views and sounds, on the side of Kuhio Shores where the giant sea turtles hang-out, with the lanai facing the trade-winds for constant comfort. Steeped in ultra warm hawaiian decor with Koa wood and etched glass and Hawaiian art, and walking directly out to the ocean from the lanai make 106 is the "best of the best" Kuhio Shores offers.

Oyster says: "the only hotel this close to the water on all of Kauai"... It's not a hotel, but I believe the rest is correct.

Our condo is distinctive with its beautiful native artwork, shell collections, handcrafted koa woodwork throughout (cabinets, bar, trim... those who know woodwork have been amazed at the extraordinary workmanship), handcrafted etched glass and mirrors, Hawaiian style decor with a Hawaiian CD mix that provides you with a relaxing environment inducing the aloha spirit. Our condo takes you back to the time when the tropics were truly a remote adventure.

You will probably not find any residence on Kaua'i with this much Koa woodwork. Contractors have expressed amazement at the the woodworking. Add the island scenes in the etched glass and other artwork for a unique one-of-a-kind island experience.

Open the windows and listen to the ocean waves lull you to sleep.

Why settle for less than direct access to the beach? From the upper floors, beach access is through the elevators then through the parking lot... while we have direct ocean access from one of the largest lanai's at Kuhio Shores.... where you can spread-out onto the immaculately kept lawn extending towards the ocean and enjoy unconfined ocean access. Where else are you going to find the ocean at such a great price with all the comforts of home?

Located steps from the beach, Kuhio Shores provides snorkeling, scuba, surfing, swimming, biking, sunning, and beachcombing without having to get in your car or even cross the street. You are five minutes away from famous Po'ipu Beach and old Koloa town; with excellent shopping and restaurants. Spouting Horn and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens are less than 5 minutes down the road. Kukui'ula Village (restaurants and shopping) is a five minute walk.

(Note that I'm getting booking requests for winter >24 months in advance, so have blocked those dates currently, and give priority to repeat guests. Come August/September (16 months ahead), I'll solidify that schedule, and open what remains for all.)

Kuhio Shores 106 is a great location! This one bedroom (plus a couch-bed), one bath, unit will be your home away from home.

Ho'ai bay, right off the lanai, is known as some of the best snorkeling on Kauai. Snorkel with the turtles and the colorful tropical fish, just steps away from the lanai (watch the video above, snorkeling with the turtles off the condo).

From the lanai you can enjoy the view across to the Ha'upu mountain range, or the sunrise on the bay, or looking out onto the ocean, watching the waves, sailing ships, dolphins jumping, or whales breaching in the distance, and the near constant stream of turtles that come within 20' of your feet to the edge of the bay to feed... all relaxing from your lounge on the lanai, sipping your morning coffee.

The lanai faces East, so the lanai is shaded from the afternoon sun, and the ocean trade winds from the East keep the condo nice and cool year round.

Kuhio Shores 106 provides the following amenities:

o Ground floor for easy beach access
o Netflix on-demand streaming video
o King bed in the bedroom
o Queen hide-a-bed in the living room
o Fully Equipped kitchen with Kashmir granite counter tops
o Plantation shutters across the lanai for privacy with ocean sounds and breeze
o Koa wood shutters in the bedroom
o Hawaiian style decor with etched art designed mirrors and glass
o Double shower head
o High speed internet access
o Stereo and CD player with built in wall speakers
o Two cable TVs one with VCR/DVD combo, one with DVD/Blu-Ray player
o Movie, CD, and Book collection
o Beach gear (ice chest, boogie board, beach chairs and mats, beach towels, and umbrella)
o Shared washer and dryer on every floor
o Shared, well-kept, barbeque grills

I love this place!

If you are looking for a lovely place to stay with sunrise and sunset with no commercial things around.. this is the place for you. Walking distance to fruit and shaved ice also. Sea turtles and sea lions every day. Surf-boarders all the time. Relaxing and friendly condo and ground workers. The lawn was beautiful

Quirky

The location is nice, right on Prince Kuhio beach and a few steps from Lawaii beach, where we saw sea turtles and a resting monk seal. The snorkeling is excellent. The view from the condo looks equally at the beach and the traffic on Lawaii road. The condo is in need of a deep cleaning and some repairs. Many things didn’t quite work right, whether it be the sensor on the coffee pot, the dull knives, the shutter track, the torn chaise lounge chair, the brittle blender lid that crumbles when you pick it up, or the temperamental airco. This being said, the owner’s Aloha is very evident whether it be in the lovely Hawaiian art displayed throughout the condo, the detailed instructions and recommendations provided, or in the communication and support we received during our stay.

Kauai vacation to remember

We really enjoyed staying at the Worley’s place. The waterfront location walking distance to several beaches was unbeatable. The lanai starts to get shady in the late morning allowing for peaceful, relaxing times watching the giant green turtles frolicking in the surf. The condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly functional and equipped for preparing simple meals. Our hosts were quickly responsive, and provided great recommendations for beaches, food and live music on the island. Will definitely consider staying here again when we return to Kauai.

Holy smokes! I don't know where to begin. What a gorgeous unit and the view was beyond impeccable. We were literally right on the water. We are so appreciative of the time that Chris put in to ensure that we knew where everything was, how everything worked and how to get whatever we needed. The attention to detail was superior! After a long travel day, we had to call to open the front door but it was user error. Chris graciously was walked me through it. We just loved it. Thank you!

Great stay in a stunning location!

We had a wonderful time during our 7 night stay. The views were awesome and we really enjoyed the lanai to watch sunrises, turtles and surfers, and listen to the ocean. The condo was as described, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated with lots of koa wood and island accents. We appreciated having all the amenities we needed working well and readily available including beach chairs and cooler. The heads up on not parking under trees overnight was very helpful and we were able to avoid bird droppings. We also want to acknowledge Chris and Becky who were great hosts. They provided a lot of helpful information we used during our visit and also checked in periodically to insure we were all set. Finally, we need to mention Robert, the maintenance man, who helped with our parking permit and was a genuinely nice man. Thank you again for a great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay. It was nice listening to the waves at night. We were close to a lot of beaches and had a lot of supplies (boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, ice chest….)provided to take to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked. The tv is very small in the living room but we were in Hawaii and we weren’t planning on watching a lot of tv anyway. Everything was simple and easy. Would stay here again.
