About this apartment rental
305 Kuhio Shores — “Jewel on the Sea”
Oceanfront Romance on Kauai’s Sunny South Shore
The moment we walked into what would become our Kauai home, we were speechless. The sweeping views of the Pacific, lush green mountains, swaying palms, and crashing waves felt almost unreal.
Perched directly on the ocean at Kuhio Shores, our beautiful third-floor condominium offers an experience unlike anywhere else on Kauai. From the lanai, you can watch sea turtles feeding below. From our property, see surfers riding world-famous breaks, whales passing in winter, and the moon shimmering across the water at night.
Located beside Lawai Beach, one of Kauai’s most beloved snorkeling spots, you can step outside and swim among tropical fish and turtles in crystal-clear water. The famous Beach House Restaurant is next door, along with scenic coastal walks, shops, art galleries, and the beauty of Poipu’s South Shore.
Inside, the condo blends tropical elegance with comfort and tranquility:
-Air conditioning in the bedroom
-Unobstructed ocean views
-Luxury Cal king bed with premium linens
-Fully equipped kitchen
-Spa-inspired Italian marble shower
-Fast, secure Wi-Fi and workspace for remote work
-Spacious lanai with chaise lounges and dining area
Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, special occasion, or simply need time to reconnect and recharge, our “Jewel on the Sea” was created to be a peaceful and unforgettable retreat.
We also welcome you with an Aloha Basket of coffee and snacks so you can begin relaxing the moment you arrive.

Amazing stay on our honeymoon! We watched turtles every day from the balcony!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
The unit has many positive features and is in a fantastic location. Items we experienced during our stay:- The kitchen fluorescent light became increasingly unreliable. It would sometimes take several minutes to come on and, during the last three days of our stay, stopped working altogether.- The bathroom fan is quite loud and appears to have some mechanical wear.- Several cabinet drawers and doors are misaligned and do not close properly.- The AC unit occasionally rattled and made loud noises during the night. Adjusting the fan speed or turning it off temporarily usually resolved the issue.- Many of the electrical outlets no longer hold plugs securely. Some plugs become loose or fall out. - We were unable to get the smoke detector to function. We recognize that wear and tear are inevitable in a vacation property, and we appreciate the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful location. However, given the premium price associated with a beachfront property, we were somewhat surprised by the number of maintenance items that needed attention. I hope this feedback is helpful and taken in the spirit intended. We enjoyed our stay overall and wanted to pass along these observations so that future guests can have an even better experience. Molla took our feedback well.

Very comfortable apartment for two adults and a 6 year old, easy walking distance to a lovely kid-friendly beach. Communication with host and housekeeper was friendly and helpful. Spent all of our time on the balcony enjoying the spectacular view. I would book again!
6 / 10Average·May 2026
The listing is deceiving. Claims there is AC which is a non negotiable for us and it only had a mini split which only cooled the bedroom. Was hot in the rest of the unit. The view was beautiful and the bed comfortable but for 350 a night we would have kept looking. The move in directions didn’t have the unit number so had to call the management company for that. Messaged the host a direct question on suggestions to go for anniversary and was ignored. Had the bare minimum. Broken umbrella and 3/4 fins for snorkeling. Grateful the view didn’t disappoint.
