The Turquoise Turtle - AC / Pool / Ocean View

This is one of the only homes in the area with Air Conditioning! This updated, modern condo is light, open and airy. The perfect place to relax in paradise!

The lanai is a great place to watch the waves roll in and, in winter, you may see humpback whales playing off shore -- spouting, breaching and putting on a fabulous show. Enjoy morning coffee here and iced tea or cocktails in the evening.

The resort is quiet and casual with views of the ocean. It is in a residential area with very green, beautiful leafy plants and tropical flowers. There are tennis courts and a shared pool/hot tub in the resort.

There are several beaches within walking distance. A short, scenic walk to the east along the ocean takes you to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwrecks Beach. A short walk to the west takes you to turtle coves, Brennecke's Beach for body surfing, and to famous Poipu Beach for family fun. Poipu Beach Park is a great protected area for swimming, snorkeling, and boogie boarding. There are restrooms, showers and picnic tables. Right across the street is a restaurant and a place to get shaved ice. Poipu Beach Athletic Club has tennis courts. Shopping and restaurants can be found in Kukui'ula Village Shopping Center and Poipu Shopping Village.

If you have dreamed of seeing a sea turtle, look no further than Brennecke's Beach just down the street! You will see sea turtles in the waves of the coves just east of Brennecke's Beach and often turtles and monk seals will sun themselves on the sand of these beaches. Don't miss the sunset from the benches on Makahuena Point on the makai (ocean) side of the pool area.

The home has a full kitchen with granite counters and is fully stocked with appliances, cookware and tableware suitable for fixing anything from a snack to a gourmet meal.

There are two separate bedroom suites complete with private bathrooms. Enjoy the king-sized bed in the primary suite and wake up to the sunrise over the blue Pacific without moving a toe. The guest suite also has a king sized bed.

Both bathrooms have been recently renovated, and the entire home was recently painted. The primary bath has floor-to-ceiling tile with glass block and granite features. The guest bath has a granite counter and new tub and tile. The washer and dryer are located just off the guest suite hallway.

Needs to be up dated. Cupboards are old, don't close well and are painted. Stove top elements didn't heat well. Lanai had temporary supports for safety.

Condo over all was clean and had amazing beds. Down side is we were not made aware that the lanai was not usable until we arrived and seen note on the door. At the time of the booking it was available. The hot tub at the complex was down also. After stopping for a weeks worth of food, to save money amd eat in. We ended up having to throw most of it out. As the refrigerator went out the following day. So cost more money to eat out. They did have a cooler, but no where close to get ice. The unit is up stairs which wasn't bad. Overall it was an okay unit. Just a few frustrating things that will keep us from booking again.

This is a very old property with many steps. I left a detailed list of 17 things that you should know about to rectify which we were not happy with. You can contact the property manager or me for more details. The shower didn’t work, the washer doesn’t fill adequately, dirt and mold in the air conditioner to name a few.

We enjoyed the location of this property and sitting out in the patio. For the most part, the place looked clean, but we found a used towel left hanging on the bathroom door upon check-in and a small cockroach that came in/out from behind the master bathroom mirror! It also gets hot in the master bedroom so we had to keep the sliding door open to allow air-conditioned air in. Overall, despite these two issues, it was a comfortable stay and an even nicer location.

Know why it's called the garden isle
Rain....rain and more rain... Oh and windy!! Super windy. Maybe not the best time of year. First time to Kauai and found it very lovely but very expensive...more than Maui. Need a car for sure to get around. Not too impressed with the unit. Not sure when it was cleaned last ...found a black hair in the bed and I am blonde gray...blood on the comforter in the other room. Little dated and sure not worth what we paid. Cuz it's Kauai? Orange snow fence around the glass on the deck.... does the unit have issues?? We were not too impressed ...probs last time booking with VRBO because the unit Maui last year was worst

Very Noisy Unit
The unit is on the second floor and very noisy with people walking around upstairs at all hours of the night. We would wake up at 3am to the sound of footsteps- and at 6am, etc. so there must be very little insulation between the floors. There are homes being built next door so you see construction debris. The unit was nicely furnished. The linens were nice and the beds comfortable. The very nice thing is the location to the walking path. It is right on the path with easy access.

Great location and view
This was a perfect size unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths and a large kitchen. Location was close to waterfront trail to Hyatt Hotel and walk to Poipu Beach. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pans, but didn't have any coffee filters or salt/pepper. There was plenty of paper products, but missing bath soap and laundry detergent. When walking with socks, the floor was noticeably dirty. Big selection of beach equipment and large towels. Large TV and easy to use remote. We would definitely book this unit again.

Good location & views but could use a deep cleaning, a few basic condiments besides salt & pepper, and instructions for parking, check out procedure, etc. Previous manager’s contact info was listed on the emails I received. Fortunately the new manager was listed on one email and was very helpful. Beds were comfortable, and there was relatively new furniture, granite countertops, etc. but unit definitely showed its age and lack of thorough cleaning. Balcony railing was deemed unsafe and we were warned not to touch or lean on it by maintenance. Definitely showing its age.

Amazing view!
We picked this property because of the location and the view shown in the pictures that accompany the listing. We were stoked when we walked in and saw the view. This location is close to grocery shopping in Koloa, food trucks, shave ice, Poipu Beach, Brennecke’s and a beginner surfing break called Learners located near the Sheraton property at Kiahuna Beach. The unit has ample air conditioning which we appreciated since we don’t have it at home. The kitchen has all the items we need. We love that there is a French press. We took advantage of the ice maker. The landscaping of the complex is beautiful. Additionally, it has easy access to a trail which you can take to Shipwreck beach then walk up a bluff for an amazing view. Jackie, our propriety manager, made sure we were squared away and had everything we needed.

Nice size and layout-needs some improvements
I had read several reviews and responses, so assumed prior issues were resolved. I was wrong. The sliding doors still don't work well, and we only had one kitchen dish cloth/no kitchen towels. The place is very nice in pictures, and overall is a fine place to stay. However, it had only been surface cleaned in some time. The blow dryer, areas on and near the bed and other furniture had THICK dust. There is no way it had been cleaned in a very long time. In addition, there was dirty washcloths laying on the floor in the wash area between the washer and dryer. The hot tub wasn't working the entire stay, which I know was probably a temporary issue. However, the issues noted in previous comments haven't been resolved, so if you would rent, know the issues likely still exist.

Lovely place, great view
We loved our stay. The place was nicer than expected. The view out the deck was great. There is an even better view on the property around the corner where you can see the whole coast. It is great for sunsets. We loved the sound of the ocean at night and the birds as well. The pool is lovely, clean, and spacious. Hot tub too. There were lots of beach supplies like boogie boards etc. Right next to the Heritage trail and a moderate walk to 2 great beaches. Great place.
