Great unit, good location, clean and well appointed. Would stay there again.
4.8
The condo is beautiful with nice extras (shampoo, conditioner, hand/body gel, paper products, beach chairs, umbrella, and especially the small cooler with ice packs ready in the freezer) Everything in the condo is great - beds, bathrooms (loved the nice showers), washer/dryer, patios (loved listening to the birds), nice kitchen and living room. The Nihi Kai Villas are surrounded by beautiful flowers and lush greenery. Nice pool and tennis courts. The location is great! Walking distance to Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach. Close to Grand Hyatt Luau and shipwreck beach. This is the perfect condo to stay in while visiting the beautiful island of Kauai!

Clean, had everything we needed.
4.8
The location was perfect. Easy walk to Brennecke and Poipu beaches. Easy access to highways. Construction caused absolutely no issues. Very well stocked kitchen. The only con would be the design of the unit with both bathrooms down a flight of stairs adjacent to bedrooms.
4.8
Very clean, very up to date, everything in working order, well appointed, best of all very comfortable, and great location. Walked to Poipu every morning to check out the turtles and seals. We slept so well, the mattress and pillows more comfortable than our own at home. We highly recommend.
4.8
Wonderful property was well maintained and had everything in the unit you would need. Up to date bathrooms and appliances as well as AC throughout were great. Location was perfect near the ocean. Heated pool was great for relaxing. Owner was very responsive.

Easy to walk to everything.

Unit #501 was a perfect fit for our family in Poipu. The unit was impeccably clean, well outfitted, and roomy. We appreciated the beach chairs, towels and coolers for the short walk to the beach. The Nihi Kai property was lovely and our family had fun at the pool. We'd absolutely rent here again!
4.8
The room was messy and dusty and there were only 2 wash clothes and 2 hand towels in the bathroom so we had to keep washing Also there we did not receive any instructions previous to arrival we did not know where to go. And the outdoor pool smelled awful like sewage waste hard to walk by let alone swim in it. But the island was beautiful as usual and everyone was very pleasant
4.8
Comfortable & convenient, but taking luggage on stairs some effort for seniors. Both bathrooms downstairs. Towels & amenities nice, well furnished kitchen, nice pool area.

Was what we expected!

Great property and location. No view, so if you are looking for that, check other places at this location.

Enjoyed our vacation in the Poipu area. The VRBO rental was in an excellent location close to beaches and dining.
4.8
We loved being close to Poipu beach! Very nice and clean property. It felt like home. Host was great to deal with. I appreciated her prompt replies. My family and I would definitely stay there again!
4.8
We had an amazing time in Kauai. Loved the location of the condo right on beach, close to airport, close to attractions. The property was very nice, fully equipped with beach stuff. Excellent communication with property manager

Perfect location, easy to access and everything you need for our trip. Thank you!

Very nice. The house was very well Prepared and stocked with many essentials we haven’t expected. Great place And very comfortable.
4.8
Very enjoyable. The only drawback was no bathroom on main level
4.8
What a great location! This unit was just as described and a very quick walk to the beach where there was a monk seal on the sand and one next to us in the water. We enjoyed walking down to the beach at sunset and socializing with others. The garden view is lovely, but we also sat on the back covered porch for a change of scenery. Lots of space…I don’t think my husband and I used 25% of it. The owner was very responsive and helpful .
4.8
Easy walk to the beach, quiet location and Maureen is an awesome hostess with great communication!
4.8
Walking distance to Poipu beach, clean, spacious for big family and well accommodated place. Enjoyed our stay, relaxing and loved this property. For next trip to Kauai, definitely staying at this place again.
4.8
Our family loved this little getaway just steps away from beautiful beaches! The condo was clean and had all the kitchen, bathroom, and beach essentials (even beach chairs) to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We can't wait to stay again!
4.8
Nice complex, quiet, tranquil. Within walking distance to the beach. Was nice to have a grill for use. Townhouse was set up with extra items which you don't think about until it is needed. It was great to be able to use the laundry. Sunrises and sunsets were glorious. It was a treat to walk to the beach to watch the green turtles come in to sleep at night. Great place.

My wife and I stayed for a few days with our 2 close friends before we all moved into our timeshare down the street for a week. The set up is absolutely perfect for 2 couples! Lots of room upstairs for cards and meals at night, and great space with separate bathrooms for each couple downstairs (although fair warning - the walls between rooms downstairs are quite thin! 😊) The condo itself was fantastic and we would stay again in a heartbeat. The pool area was the only disappointing part about our stay. It had a mild funky (sewage?) smell walking by it for most of our 3 days there. Not sure what was going on there. Luckily it didn’t bother us because we had planned to spend most of our few days out and about exploring the island. But to honest, if we had planned to spend our a week here relaxing poolside, we would have been disappointed.
Maureen was absolutely FANTASTIC! Communication was excellent and she bent over backwards to accommodate us. She responded promptly to any questions we had and made sure we felt right at home. We’ve had a lot of hosts at VRBO properties, and she’s been one of the best.
4.8
A very nice and well stocked townhouse steps from the beach and beautiful sunsets. Top notch in every way. The owner went out of her way to return a few items we left behind when we checked out. Highly recommend!
4.8
Super nice place with close access to the beach. Would come back
4.8
Property owners were great with replying to inquiries. The kitchen was stocked with every dish, utensil, pot or pan, as we did lots of cooking in. When booking, I may have over looked all the stairs. The photos showed a ground level patio off the master. I am disabled and this did cause problems for me as there is a flight of stairs to access the unit to the kitchen and living area then all bathrooms and bedrooms are back down another flight of stairs. Otherwise we loved our stay, great property!
4.8
This is a great location, very central to everything. Great for kids as its close to Poipu beach and a public playground too. It worked well for us two adults and two little kids. They also had beach chairs and an umbrella to use, which was nice.
4.8
16 days in paradise. Updated condo, reasonably priced, plenty of space, washer/dryer, fans and AC, great location, walking distance to Poipu Beach, ocean view from lanai. Easy check in. I used the community grills nearly every night. Maureen was helpful and very responsive. She graciously allowed us to check out late. Small issues included some utensils and dishes had been put away dirty. No beach chairs or umbrella available, but we bought some and owner reimbursed us for them. I highly recommend this condo.
4.8
The condo was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The owner was responsive. Great location for a family vacation.
4.8
This home is located in a great location that is close by to the beach and restaurants. The beach nearby has sleeping turtles that you can see on morning walks. The modern fans and air conditioning is a definite plus!
4.8
We had a great stay from the moment we connected with Maureen to walking into a spotlessly clean and calming condo! Everything we needed was available. Great location. We will book it again!
4.8
Extremely well kept condo with handsome furnishing, well stock kitchen with high end cooking supplies, meticulously cleaned and tasteltfully decorated. Thoughtful ammmenties included and arranged perfectly for comfortable stay. No clutter of belongings or furniture. Service from owner was top rate with quick responses and thorough information. Arrival and departure Instruction clear and simple. Very pleased and impressed!
4.8
We really enjoyed staying at the condo. Kitchen was fully stocked with every pot and utensil known to man. Having the washer and dryer was really nice. Condo is close to the beach and all of the nice restaurants. Plenty of parking. Make sure you try breakfast at Little Fish Coffee in Poipu and grab a burrito at Da Crack in Poipu.
4.8
The Condo has everything we needed to cook great fish that we bought at the Koloa Fish Market. From wine glasses to coffee cups, it had what we needed. Many little touches made this place easy to walk in and enjoy. The Condo has windows on opposite ends which allows for great airflow. And Lanais on both ends were a bonus. Great place!
4.8
Located within an easy walk to Poipu Beach (we saw Hawaiian monk seals and green sea turtles daily), this condo checks all the boxes. Clean, well-stocked, lovely furnishings, and a communicative owner. When the ocean is too rough you can swim in the outdoor swimming pool.
4.8
This was a very comfortable condo for two couples to stay in. It’s nicely provisioned with a few basic foods - coffee, popcorn, salt, pepper, sugar, etc. The walk to Poipu beach is only 10-15 minutes and we saw monk seals and sea turtles there pretty much every morning. It’s quiet and there is an off-street parking lot.
The only downside is that the front door is on the upper level and the bedrooms are on the lower level, for carrying suitcases. So pack light or get strong!
Would definitely stay here again.
4.8
The condo was easy to find, parking was convenient and ample, and check in a breeze. The unit had everything we needed. It was great to have the full, well stocked kitchen. The pool area was lovely. Very short walk to the beach and a convenient foot washing area near the edge of the resort when returning. (Not that all of the beautiful soft white beach sand ever really comes off!) Loved the 2 beach chairs with the pouches and carrying straps! (We did end up purchasing a beach umbrella at Costco, which is a necessity on a sunny day in Hawaii.) We also appreciated the beach towels and small cooler.
Overall, we had a wonderful week on Kauai. If I could have rated the condo a 4.5 I would done so.
Our only issues, and most were minor, were:
- Bathrooms definitely showing their age. Cleanliness never an issue but it’s probably time for a bathroom renovation.
- The washing machine sounded like a 787 taking off when spinning. Very loud! Was happy to have a washer and dryer, though.
- Noise from adjacent units was problematic at times. We assume this is because we were vacationing over the holidays, when there were many large family groups and children staying in the units. We doubt this would be an issue at another time of year.
- Sleepng temperature in bedrooms was never a problem. The breeze and overhead fan made sleeping cool and comfortable. The master bedroom and bathroom were quite warm during the day, however, even with fully closing the door, window and blinds to try and keep it cool. We honestly were not in the bedroom much at all during the day except to take post-beach showers. It was the process of getting dressed, drying one’s hair, applying make up, etc. after showering that was tough. I found I had to go upstairs to cool off a couple of times while trying to get ready after an afternoon shower. It may not be an issue for everyone, but as a woman of a certain age I found it challenging. Not a deal breaker, though.
Thank you to Maureen, Bruce and the cleaning crew for a memorable stay in the Poipu area. We loved our vacation and look forward to our next trip.
