The Neighborhood:
Poipu Kai is a 70-acre resort community in Poipu. The community consists of seven condo developments with their own swimming pools, an 8-court Poipu Kai Tennis Club, a community pool and hot tub, and the beautiful Green Belt, garden paths connecting the areas of the resort. The resort is between the Hyatt and Shipwreck`s Beach to Brennecke`s and Poipu beaches. Restaurants to walk to are the Grand Hyatt Kauai, the Poipu Bay Golf Course, Kalapaki Joe`s, and Brennecke`s Restaurant.
Getting Around:
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. While there are other transportation options available, such as the Kauai Bus, it's important to note that the bus service may not run as frequently as you might expect.
Having a rental car allows you to easily access all the incredible sights and attractions that Kauai has to offer. From the stunning Na Pali Coast to the breathtaking Waimea Canyon, having your own transportation gives you the flexibility to visit these iconic locations on your own schedule.
Other Things to Note:
Minimum of 7 days advanced notice required to book. If you have an emergency that requires less advanced notice, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate. Mahalo!
Interaction with Guests:
We will communicate by text most of the time. You will also receive emails from us. Feel free to call us at the Koloa Kai office as well.

Great place to stay. Close to the beach and great customer service!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Location was great. Walking distance from pools and beaches. Tennis courts were great and we used them every day. The kitchen was very well equipped
6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
The property itself is beautiful and walking distance to the beach.
The condo is just ok.
The good: close to the beach. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had the appliances and dishes we needed. It served its purpose as a place to sleep and eat breakfast. We were able to do laundry which was nice too.
The not so good: It had to be 90 degrees inside when we arrived. The air conditioners hose upstairs was damaged ( torn off & cracked ) therefore could not be used. We reached out and were told maintenance was working at another property and couldn’t come out until the following day leaving us 24 hours without the ability to use it. Thankfully we found several other fans and toughed it out and kept windows opened which helped.
The shower in the master and hallway does not drain properly. Had to turn off shower 1/2 way thru to let it drain.
There were 3 cockroaches in the kitchen during our 5 day stay.
The master bathroom’s air conditioner leaks and sounds like a heavy rainfall or shower running. Hopefully that will be fixed before next party rents. The toilet does not shut off and the window can not be closed in the bathroom as the outside latch is broken off.
Not enough towels. Thankful for the washer as we washed towels 3x. Towels are not expensive so not sure why they were limited.
I personally would not stay here again but our options were limited since we needed more space. If you are just there to sleep and eat it is ok. Not a place to entertain guest.
