About this apartment rental
ON THE OCEAN condominium "Turtle Haven" steps from the sea near Poipu with spectacular views. Swim, surf, snorkel, sunbath or just relax in a peaceful corner of Kauai Island. Dazzling views of the tropical Pacific Ocean welcome you as you step in the door. Your unit faces the ocean directly with nothing between you and the sea. Watch the whales, dolphins, and turtles from your lanai (balcony).
This unique condominium is flanked by Turtle Cove on one side and renowned Lawai Beach on the other. Lawai Beach offers can't-miss snorkeling with turtles and colorful tropical fish steps from your door as well as sunbathing, surfing, and swimming (SNUBA too!). We've seen octopuses and endangered monk seals there as well. Enjoy the outdoor shower tucked between tropical plants for Kuhio Shores guests before heading up to the unit to relax. On the inland side, find a piece of history at the sacred Prince Kuhio Park.
Your unit will be 30 feet (9 meters) from the water: open the windows and doors, feel the trade winds blow, smell the ocean, and listen to the crashing surf. Sip your coffee or tea on the lanai soothed by the sound of the waves and Pacific blue waters as far as you can see. Enjoy privacy over a coral reef and turtles surfing from this second floor unit #210 (with elevator close by): No other units can see into your space and no telephone means complete peace.
This condo offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and sleeps 6. Find a King bed in the master bedroom, a Queen bed in the second bedroom, and a Queen sofa bed in the living room. For those occasional days when it's a bit warm, AC throughout the unit will keep you comfortable.
With floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows, you will enjoy the sea from the living room, dining room, or lanai. Watch whales breach in the winter and turtles feeding directly in front of your balcony. Or scan surfers tackling the waves while an occasional snorkeler visits the turtle cleaning station below.
The kitchen offers granite counter tops and stainless appliances. The unit includes oven/stove, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, insulated stainless French press, electric kettle, microwave, and full refrigerator with freezer and ice maker. It's fully furnished with everything you need to cook in or enjoy a drink on the lanai, with a BBQ onsite for your use. Or visit one of the island's best restaurants and bars next door, The Beach House, only steps away.
Free cable and wireless internet are included and there is a smart flat-screen TV in the living area as well as a small desk. The easy-access parking lot allows one car per unit with a coin laundry on each floor of the building.
Both the master bath (with separate large walk-in shower---see photos) and the second hall bath (with twin sinks) have custom tile work. Unique art work on the walls conveys the Hawaiian spirit.
Take a stroll down the road to visit the National Tropical Botanical Garden and a natural geographic wonder, Spouting Horn blow hole. The upscale Shops at Kukui'ula are easy walking distance with many fine restaurants, ice cream, and shopping. Scuba diving and snorkeling at Koloa Landing is only 1/2 mile away (

Our family enjoyed watching the sea turtles, waves and surfers from the balcony of this beautifully decorated beach front unit. Star gazing was amazing. It was centrally located to all points of interest on the island. Anne and Olaf were quick to respond to requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. So close to Poipu beach! Condo was clean and had everything we needed, plus a lot of extras. The washer and dryer listed is coin operated outside the unit, so be aware of that. Great view, so many turtles, surfers, and body boarders to watch from the lanai. Easy parking and in and out with elevators. Very comfortable place!

This is our third time staying in Kuhio Shores, first time in this unit. T HR r reds condo is perfect and we recommend it to anyone. The Beach House restaurant next door was a big disappointment though. We’ve been in years past and loved it but this time we won’t recommend anymore - insane amount of people and the food was marginal and overpriced. Brennecke’s is much better and not a zoo and our best food of the trip. Keoke’s is a fun place and great kahlua pork sandwich.

Perfect for the family wedding destination. Great accommodation!
Would appreciate better pillows (maybe time to change) and linen and towels (maybe need better laundry?). It's just one of the things I am particular about.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful place.

The only way to go in Hawaii is right on the water, and the pictures are, in fact, reality. We were so happy the A/C worked so well in the back bedrooms. The building is merely steps away from a small beach that had some of the best snorkeling I've done - we swam (from a distance) with a sea turtle, very cool. The owners even had umbrellas and chairs that were so great to use. I even texted the owner that the door stop on the main door was broken and it was fixed the next day. Other condo people/visitors were very nice.

We have stayed on Kuhio Shores before in a different condo so we do like this area.
Perfect sunset view, lots of space and quiet. It’s a very old property but everyone has remodeled.
It’s not cheap but I feel it’s a good value for the space. Nothing is inexpensive on the island anymore. We want a view so we pay a little more. The lanai is in the shade until around 1. Perfect for leisure mornings with coffee and a book. It faces the front. Lots of snorkeling right there as well.
It’s also a popular surfing spot so entertainment! We would stay here again.

We had a great stay here during our time on the south shore. View from balcony is incredible - watched surfers and sea turtles daily. Lawai beach is just west of the property, and Poipu and other beaches (where we spent most of our time) and restaurants are just a short drive away. Listing for the condo is accurate - well appointed kitchen, chairs and umbrella for beach use, and beach towels provided. Perfect for our family. Great communication with owner throughout the booking process. Thanks!

Condo with ocean view
Beautiful locale with balcony overlooking ocean. Located very near poipo beach but not as crowded an area. Small beach right next to condo and plenty of beaches nearby. Owners very responsive.

Breathtaking View
Location was beautiful as we enjoyed watching the sea turtles and surfers from our balcony. The view was breathtaking . If I would add anything that was negative would be the cleanliness of the condo itself. Otherwise, our overall stay was wonderful.

A view to kill for
The view from the condo was fantastic! Hearing crashing waves 24/7 was heaven. Condo had everything we needed. We had a slight problem upon arrival as our TV and Internet wasn't working. We contacted the building manager, Albert (wonderful man) and he worked with Spectrum. Turns out our cable and internet was out of service two days before our arrival. They sent out a technician the next day and all is well. We would stay there again for sure!!!!!!!

Great place to stay on the beach! Very close to everything you would want to do. I would stay again
The view is breath taking. I was visiting with my parents and enjoy the air conditioning and easy access to everything on the island. However, beds were hard, ceiling fan lights would not turn off, and we had to buy toilet paper for the place. The air conditioning was worth it. We would stay again, however we would purchase mattress pads.

Incomparable View
The view is incomparable. As advertised and shown in the listing photographs, the lanai is about 30 feet from the ocean on the 2nd floor of the building. We enjoyed sitting on the lanai and watching the ocean and whales for hours. The unit itself is a bit tired and in serious need of an update. It compared unfavorably with other comparably priced accommodations in which we recently stayed in terms of furnishings, supplies and equipment (both items and quality). Limited kitchen equipment lent itself to less meal preparation that would have been expected. There is no garbage disposal. The living area is poorly lighted; beach chairs were old and rusted. There were noises (24/7) from mechanical equipment (hot water heater and toilet in the master) that were annoying, especially during the night. Overall, it was a pleasant stay (primarily because of location), but the unit could be improved with a little effort and not a great expense.

Dream vacation in tropical paradise
Fantastic location (steps from the beach and waves); great views (saw turtles and even a seal right up close on the beach) and proximity to restaurants. Poipu is the ideal spot on the island. We will come back here anytime we are in Kauai

Incredible sunsets
This property has everything you could possibly want on Kauai! We had beautiful sunsets, watched turtles, surfers and even saw whales right from our lanai. Condo was very clean and had everything you need to prepare meals, plus had all the beach gear you need. The property manager was super friendly! Owners were so easy to work with and we look forward to our next visit! Thank you for the opportunity to share your beautiful piece of paradise.

Amazing view and location in Poipu
We had an easy time locating, arriving at and checking in to this beautiful location. The condo was large and spacious, with an incredible floor to ceiling view of the ocean. It was fun to watch the surfers or fishermen and was a quick walk over the Baby beach. The location on Kauai was perfect - all the enjoyment of the beach with dining and shopping nearby, and then a quick 20 minute drive for boating experiences in Port Allen. It was also very easy to access Waimea canyon. The apartment was clean and moderately stocked. Make sure to bring your own shampoo and conditioner and pick up things like coffee and creamer at a grocery. The condo has beach towels, boogie boards and beach chairs for guests as well - a nice bonus.
