Kahala Poipu Kai 312, 2/2 With A/C In Living Area Steps From Poipu Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We did not originally book this unit, but was moved here by VRBO due to a problem with our original booking. It was a nice upgrade for us and closer to the beach. The unit was very clean, had plenty of space, and was an easy walk to the beach or to a nearby sports bar that had a daily happy hour. The unit has an AC unit in the main bedroom and the living room. The smaller room got a little warm, but there was a ceiling fan and a large floor fan that helped. There were a lot of beach supplies (wagon, umbrella, blankets/towels etc). The bathrooms could use a little updating - the main bathroom cabinet doors don't properly close and the other bathroom has a towel rod that needs some TLC. Overall, this is a great place to stay - it was just two of us and we could have easily had six total (I think the couch is a sofa bed).

Beautiful property with scenic views. Close to Poipu beach. Only giving 4 stars because the owner/property manager doesn’t return emails when you have a question which is quite frustrating.

The place was beautifully decorated with a beachy, Hawaiian vibe that felt both fun and relaxing. Everything was spotless and looked brand new, from the stylish furniture to the thoughtful décor.The kitchen was fully stocked with great cookware and dishes, which made it easy to cook a few meals and enjoy quiet evenings in. They also provided beach towels, toys, coolers, and everything else we needed for a perfect day out.The ocean views from the lanai and being just a short walk to the beach were a huge bonus. It truly felt like a home away from home and made our honeymoon even more special. We’re already looking forward to coming back!

Reserved in March 2023 for stay in December 2023. While I was in line to pick up my rental car AT THE LIHUE AIRPORT(!!?!), I received a call from a Poipu 365 person, telling me my condo wasn’t “ready”, but it would be on Thursday (this was on Monday before Christmas). She stated they were working on the lanai and it wouldn’t be done “for a few days”. The condo they offered was not close to equivalent: 2 queen beds instead of a king and twins (for my husband and I and 2 sons, both over 6 ft tall). No ocean view, not as close to amenities (Brenneke’s beach, Kalapaki Joes, the nice pool, etc.) The back “deck” felt overgrown with vegetation and was strung with cobwebs, the freezer door appeared covered in orange stains of some kind, pocket doors to the toilets were “stuck” and difficult to close. I spoke to the property agent who arranged to “clean” Kahala 312 that night (our original condo) but we weren’t able to use the lanai until the day before we departed. This was > $6000 for 6 nights (after taxes, fees, etc.) I asked for some refund and was told I would get a “15% discount”. I have received no refund, and they returned the cleaning deposit to my husband’s VISA card (which had been used a few years ago), not my card which was the one used in the transaction. We love Poipu and have stayed at many condos in Kahala, Regency and Manualoha at the Poipu Kai complex. We will not likely book with Poipu 365 again.
