When visiting Kauai, we highly recommend renting a car to enhance your experience and give you the freedom to explore the island at your own pace.

Excellent location. Saw whales and spinner dolphins almost daily from the second floor lanai. A short walk to Brennecke and Poipu beaches, about 2 and 5 minutes, to see the green turtles and Monk seals. The place was nicely appointed and comfortable. Bedrooms and baths are downstairs. You come in upstairs and the space is very comfortable with a large lanai. Would definitely stay again.

loha! We absolutely loved our stay at Nihi Kai 203 in Poipu. The location truly does not get better. You are right next to Poipu Beach, with ocean views and the convenience of being poolside, which made everything feel effortless and relaxing.Check in and check out were incredibly easy, and there was always someone available if we had a question, which made the entire stay feel seamless and stress free.The condo itself was clean, comfortable, and beautifully laid out. And if you like to cook, this kitchen is basically a chefs kitchen. It was fully equipped, spacious, and perfect for cooking meals at home after a day at the beach. Morning coffee on the lanai with the sound of the ocean was a highlight, and evenings were just as peaceful.Being steps from the pool was ideal, whether it was a quick dip or just relaxing nearby. We also loved how walkable everything was. Beach time, sunsets, and nearby dining were all right there without needing to hop in the car.If you are looking for a place that feels like true Kauai living with an unbeatable location, Nihi Kai 203 is a gem. We would absolutely stay here again.Mahlo

We enjoyed the unit - and the location. But the AC didn’t work properly. We reached out - got an answering service. Were told the next day that we weren’t using them properly- as if we’d never used ac or split units before. We also had trouble finding the unit and parking since the rental agency overlooked sending us the address that GPS could use.
