About this villa rental
This dazzling resort-style, garden-level condominium home is, quite simply, perfect—and what better way to enjoy your South Shore stay than in a comfortably luxurious, exquisitely appointed hideaway with spectacular views. Savor sun-splashed mornings on the capacious lanai, painterly sunsets every evening, and refreshing dips in the private plunge pool anytime you like.
Relax in the spa-inspired master bath, with its sleek soaking tub and enchanting outdoor lava-rock-walled shower. Entertain guests in the expansive, casually elegant indoor-outdoor living area, which adjoins a gourmet kitchen fully equipped with glossy Quartzite countertops; custom hardwood cabinetry; stainless-steel Miele appliances; and a lyrical view of the distant, deep-blue sea. (The kitchen also features a cozy counter for quick meals or chef-watching, and there’s a built-in, full-size BBQ setup on the nearby lanai, as well.) Finally, rest up for the next blissful day in one of the airy, attractively furnished bedrooms: One with a king bed and two with Queens, all made up with deluxe, high-end Frette linens.
Everywhere you look, there are pleasant surprises and first-class details. Lush tropical landscaping, including a pretty little lawn; gorgeous sand colored stone tiles in the master bath; atmospheric ceiling fans; natural finish blinds and sliding doors for privacy or shade; and so many more.
Then there’s the ideal location: close to everything the world-famous Poipu resort area has to offer. It’s a short walk or bike ride—or a quick drive—to the all-day delights of The Shops at Kukui‘ula: a super-popular, plantation style shopping center with an appealing roster of excellent restaurants, captivating stores, local entertainment, and special events, including a lively, must-visit Culinary Market every Wednesday. A few minutes away by car, you’ll find literally dozens of amazing beaches, intriguing sight¬seeing destinations, and more shopping centers, each with its own distinctive ambience.
Just outside The Shops at Kukui‘ula is the famous Poipu traffic circle or round-about — a magical jumping-off point for all the scenic and cultural wonders of the island. Head west for stunning, relatively deserted beaches; rustic, charming towns like Hanapepe and Kalaheo; vast, majestic Waimea Canyon; and the upcountry charm of Koke‘e. Look to the east for notable beaches, harbors, waterfalls, and larger towns such as Lihue—site of the main airport. To the north, of course, there are laid-back hamlets and the almost supernatural beauty of the North Shore, whose iconic beaches and thrilling vistas have been immortalized on film, year after year.

This is a lovely updated modern home with all the luxury touches you could want. The only downside to this property is construction on the neighbors property.

We had an amazing time in Kauai and this condo was a highlight. This condo had all the basics that you will need and included a few extras that were greatly appreciated. Kitchen was well equipped and appliances were very nice. Having coffee filters and some coffee provided was a bonus as it's always challenging to figure out before you get somewhere what type of filters to buy. The beautiful patio was wonderful to wake up to every morning as well as to wind down on every night. We had six adults staying here and there was plenty of space for everyone. Great central location to the entire island. Thank you again for an amazing stay!

We were very comfortable. The pictures were accurate. And to have a washer and dryer was an absolute plus. My teenagers loved the pool time on the hot days. The first bedroom ceiling fan sounded as if it was loose. We forgot to grab some WD40 for the laundry door. It was a bit squeaky. We weren’t bothered by the little things. The main bedroom and bathroom was perfect for my teenagers. The tub was awesome for the days of soaking in such a beautiful home. We took out our trash daily. Although we were there to relax. My teenagers still had their chores done just like at home. My father loved it. I recommended this home for friends and family to stay. It was absolutely beautiful and location was key. It’s location was right up the road from all of our family and friends. We look forward to renting this unit again on our next visit back home to Kauai for more family time. Thank you again.

We stayed at this property for a week and enjoyed every minute. It was wonderful to come back from a day of sightseeing to such a calm and beautiful home. The patio was one of our favorite spots. Lovely to sit there in the evening and enjoy the sunset or in the morning with a cup of coffee and look at the ocean in the distance. Very clean and stocked with all the essential for a pleasant stay. We would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Kauai.

We loved our stay at Kainani Villa, what a beautiful villa! It was pristine, the outdoor indoor living is by far the highlight we had many nights spent on the patio grilling and enjoying Jenga!
The location is prime, amongst very gorgeous multi million dollar houses. There is construction going on next door but it’s very quiet and not at all bothersome! Highly recommend!!!

We were three couples celebrating our wedding anniversaries, so we were looking for a special place to stay. Kainani Villa #5 was perfect for our group. The villa was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. All three bedrooms had en-suite bathrooms with plenty of towels, body wash, shampoo and conditioner. Likewise, the kitchen was well-stocked, clean, and very nice. We frequently used both the indoor and outdoor spaces which had more than enough lounging spots for the six of us. The setting was beautiful with a nice ocean view. The location was close to numerous restaurants, shopping, and beaches. It was easy to get to other areas of the island as well.
The property management company was professional from start to finish and continually kept us updated via email. They also have a concierge service that assisted us in booking activities and provided dining and sightseeing recommendations. The entire process went smoothly and everyone who we worked with were friendly and helpful.
There is ongoing construction directly adjacent to the villa that we were made aware of prior to booking. A few mornings were quite loud, but it did not ruin our stay in the least. By the time we returned to the villa in the afternoon, everything was quiet and peaceful.
We highly recommend this villa and its management group. We would definitely book a return stay at this beautiful property.

The home is beautiful and a very comfortable place to stay. All the amenities one could want. The view is really that beautiful. The back yard area is very pleasant and we enjoyed it quite a lot. There are many wonderful restaurants close by, some within walking distance. The property manager was very attentive and answered all our questions and came by in person to help in any way possible. The home and property are very well maintained. I highly recommend Kainani Villa 5.

The listing does not do the property justice. This is a beuatiful home and I did not see a similar sized property anywhere on the Island that I would rather have ahd. I compare the master bedroom to the One & Only Hotel in Cape Town with an outdoor shower like a Singita safari lodge (I have been to 12 of them). There was indeed construction next door which I was aware of but it did not impact our stay. One time they turned on music (a "boom box") but a quick call to security ended that. I am not in the construction industry but the project is moving fast. There were other renters in another unit playing music but they went to bed around 11pm. We had very minor maintenance issues that were immediately resolved by management. The only thing that was not resolved was the garage door opener but I am sure that is fixed now. We hiked Waimea Canyon, Na’pali Coast Trail and had many nice meals at Beach House, Eating House 1849, Brennecke’s, & Keoki’s Paradise x 2. Best poke bowl of my life at Koloa Fish Market. Some of us did did four 100 ft dives with a local scuba operator. We rented a minivan for all six of us and a Nissan Sentra for the kids so we did not have to share a car. I will for sure stay here again!

Our group really enjoyed our stay in this condo. It is clean, well-maintained, well-stocked and very comfortable. The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed visits from a neighbor’s cat. The construction next door was not overly intrusive with the area being very quiet otherwise. The location close to shops was great.

We have been fortunate to visit to Kauai multiple times, and this was our favorite place to stay yet. Everything was ready, clean, comfortable, felt welcoming and very nice, plus we had ample basic supplies like paper goods, towels, and pots and pans, etc that made the stay feel relaxed and convenient. The location was excellent, easy to find and an easy distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We would stay in the exact unit again on our next visit!

The property was in a nice residential community situated on a golf course. The beaches were a short drive away and very convenient to get to from the property. Nearby shopping center for groceries and supplies for our weeklong stay. Close to lots of restaurants as well by the beach. Enjoyed a glorious sunset dinner at the Beach House as well as nice panoramic views of the ocean dining outside.An adequate number of toiletries, towels, robes, and kitchen supplies along with coffee were provided. The only complaint is that we requested bedding for the sofa bed which they promised to drop off that did not make it. Otherwise, everything else was great. Also, having the beach chairs with the umbrella was well appreciated for our trips to the beach.
10.0
The property was perfection. Very well designed with a comfortable, but elegant, tropical inspiration.
The villa was very roomy for a three bedroom, and had a stunning view! Opening the large glass sliders lends to a much larger great space where you can enjoy the lanai & the small plunge pool.
The kitchen had high end appliances and everything you could need if choosing to cook in while vacationing.
It was a perfect location for a family of four.
We look forward to staying here again!!!
10.0
We really enjoyed our time at this property. It has great proximity to many beaches and shopping centers. The property is very clean and seems recently built. We would stay there again and recommended to anyone coming to stay. The sliding glass doors were gorgeous, and we had a great view of the ocean and sunset. They had Sonos speakers that you could play music from in every room. The outdoor shower was awesome. The front door automatically locks so watch out for that.
A few small minor changes:
-The water temperature did not get very hot
-The washing machine had a mold smell
-The pool was a little cold
-!

Gorgeous, well-maintained, and very comfortable property with a beautiful kitchen and outdoor area, where we spent most of our time. The floor to ceiling window/walls are the highlight of the property, as is the outdoor shower.
There was construction next door (which we were aware of, and management had offered us alternative properties if we wanted), but it didn't end up being very bothersome as we were out most of the day, and the noise was fairly minimal. The workers were also friendly.
Concierge assonance with booking activities was also helpful and a plus.
Overall, really happy with our stay.

We loved our weeklong stay at this villa. It was such a convenient location to Poipu Beach and we took advantage of it. Loved how clean the house was and it had everything we needed from the get go. House also came with an umbrella and beach chairs so we were prepared. Highly recommend and would definitely return for another family vacation!

We really enjoyed this place. Good location. It was very clean and the outside area was terrific. There was some construction next door with some fencing that obstructed part of the view, but it wasn’t bad. We would book this place again.

Beautiful in every way. Brand spanking new and first class. Luxurious primary suite. Comfy beds. Every bedroom is an ensuite. Kitchen is gourmet all the way with Meile appliances. Covered outdoor dining with Wolf grill was the bomb! No heat or jets available in the spa pool, which was disappointing.
10.0
This property did not disappoint. It is as amazing as it looks in the pictures and better. Since the upstairs owner was not not there for our entire visit we were able to enjoy the property and is was very quite and private. We used the plunge pool every day, what a luxury. We enjoyed sunsets every evening. Yes, there is construction going on every weekday from 630am to about 4 or 5pm and it.was a bit of a bummer. But with all the growth in paradise that the price you pay. We enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave.

The condo is lovely, with modern and high end appliances and finishes. The grounds were immaculate, and the area was in close proximity to everything we needed. It was a lovely space for our friend group to enjoy our vacation, and act as our base of operations for all of our wonderful island adventures.
We did have a couple of maint issues, that just come with the territory, but the management staff were extremely quick to respond, and immediately sent out very professional and friendly (they gave use some really good local recommendations too) staff to remedy the issues.
We would absolutely stay with here again, and highly recommend Wailani Kauai.

Why did your office tell us that there would be no construction during our stay at KAINANI VILLA #5? Yet noise of hammering, loud construction vehicle sounds, protracted penetrating reverse beeping of those vehicles, as well as construction worker’s loud conversations were disruptive every day, except the weekends. The noise was heard both outside the patio areas as well as inside, preventing us from finding the quite solace we expected at this “luxury property” on our precious vacation time. Disappointment is an understatement. Plus your office promised a compensation discount should there be any chance of disruption, of which you did not provide.

This property spoiled us entirely! Top notch finishes, luxurious linens, and beautiful ocean views! The unit is on the bottom floor of a bungalow with a private pool. If you are looking for privacy with a single house feel, this is the place for you. The location is close to the airport and shopping but far enough away to truly experience Kauai’s beauty. The property is beautifully maintained with full-sized laundry and kitchen and upscale beach chairs and cooler for beach outings, only a short 5-minute drive away. Access to the property manager was a simple phone call. We felt welcomed from the moment we stepped in!

We highly recommend Kailani Villa 5 for your family and vacation. Everything about this booking was first class. All of the communications have been friendly and pleasant and full of information and help. The villa itself is of a very high standard of furnishings, decoration and cleanliness. In our experience the owners also paid attention to the small details that can catch travelers out on a short trip such as beach towels, chairs, an umbrella and cool box for the beach, and then ice already in the freezer! The views are wonderful, facing right into the settling sun, and the patio is nicely shielded from the trade winds. It was a lovely trip, thank you.

We had a great stay. The property is very well kept and with all the modern appliances. Great location, and awesome floor plan.

My family and I have stayed at various Vrbo rentals for as long as I can remember, and this house was HANDS DOWN, the most spectacular one yet. I cannot recommend it more fully; the house itself was gorgeous and spotless, it was accessible to town and the beach, and the management company was a pleasure to work with. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!
