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

If more than 2 guests, please contact us via email to be sure you can fit your group comfortably (use the "send mail" option below the "request to book" option in the upper right-hand corner, and realize you'll immediately receive an auto-reply from HomeAway, seemingly from us, with a "book it now" request, before we'll be able to reply).

Spectacular view
Can’t imagine a better view of the coast. We left the door and windows open to listen to the surf all night long. We saw many turtles just a few yards from the patio every day. Highly recommend this for nature lovers. Communication was excellent as well.

Have stayed repeated at this facility for its location oceanfront and for the great snorkelling area immediately adjacent. Loved Chris’s unit on the ground floor with all the authentic Hawaiian features of beautiful native wood finishing and art. Beyond the craftsman wood features, the king bed was comfortable with nice linens, kitchen was well appointed and the bathroom had a large shower with lots of towels. We will be back!!

Everything about this place was spectacular. One of the best things we appreciated was the owner’s attention to detail and willingness to advise us on what to do/where to go. We followed his advice and experienced things we would not have done otherwise. I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect vacation spot
The lanai offers a perfect vantage point to enjoy the sunrises in the mornings then throughout the day you’ll find the sea turtles feeding in the bay. The condo was neat, clean, and very comfortable to relax in, while the centralized location made it easy to explore different beaches - some within walking distance and others just minutes away. The owners were very responsive! Chris shared a wealth of information about the island before our trip and made sure all our questions were answered. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great spot!
We had a fantastic stay here and highly recommend this place if you’re looking for something on the ocean. The view is incredible! The condo itself it also beautiful, the artwork and woodwork is really unique. It was more spacious than we expected based on the pictures. We were comfortable with 2 adults and 2 children. The kitchen is fully stocked, we had everything we needed to prepare meals. And the host was very helpful and responsive, with lots of great tips on local attractions, restaurants, etc… it was really hard to leave this place!

Much needed vaca
It was great I loved having every day visits with the turtles. I’m sorry about the light strip in the bathroom. I couldn’t find the switch until the next day and I couldn’t sleep and I think I had too much to drink and I must have darkness.😂

Such a gem
We had the best time here. We only had 3 days which is not enough to enjoy everything in the area. However, we managed to golf, snorkel, walk to Sheraton and Shops at Kukuiula, and eat at Beach House restaurant right next door. Best of all we enjoyed the turtle viewing off the lanai and the best sunsets steps away. The condo is equipped with anything you may need, from cookware to beach toys.

Excellent Condo
Great unit. I like the decor. Many of the art pieces and displays have QR Codes to learn move about them. It's like staying at a museum! The property is well stocked, Chris is very responsive, and I've never had someone provide so much great info before arriving. The unit has 2 AC units. When they are both going, it can sometimes "trip" them requiring the breakers to be reset. Not a big deal, and as a solo traveler, I never needed them both on at the same time. I still rate this 5 stars as everything else is so great.

The property was perfect for our first stay ever in Kauai. The property manager went above and beyond with communicating with us and dealing with any issues that arose. He also gave us many helpful recommendations to improve our stay. We are incredibly grateful that we lucked out and got to rent this property, because of the property itself, and the property owner.

First time in Kauai
Absolutely beautiful condo community. The worleys had everything we could possibly need and we were able to fully enjoy our stay without needing to make extra outtings for travel accessories. The condo is beautiful, a tour of Kauai culture in itself. We just loved sitting on the patio and watching the turtles in the waves and rocks. It is definitely one of our top 5 traveling experiences. Mahalo to Chris and family!

Perfect ocean front property
We loved the condo (all of the little things included were really helpful, like beach chairs and hiking sticks) and condo complex. Wonderful southern Kauai location, just minutes from unobstructed sunrise or sunset views, or juat stay on the property to watch either come up/go down over just a small sliver of island. Awesome sea turtle watching location. Surfing most evenings on the beach house side of the complext. I can't say enough good things about the property and its location.
