Best Oceanfront - Walls of windows on famous surf and sunset, 2BR/2BA, A/C

We had a very enjoyable stay at Surf Song and would recommend to those looking for a spot with excellent views and easy access to The Beach House Restaurant. Highlights -- a) beautiful lanai spot with views of sea turtles and surfers all day! b) good parking availability. c) large panoramic window views of ocean and sunset. d) owners provided beach equipment which was extremely helpful (although one of the umbrellas seemed damaged). e) when we arrived there was a wedding out the side window at the Beach House with loud music BUT the community has quiet hours that is honored by the restaurant which was great. f) responsive host when contacted. Feedback -- a) perhaps we misread the original listing, but we were under the impression the unit had a washer/dryer for laundry. Turned out not to be the case and although there was one community unit on each floor of the complex, we ended up paying 40 to do laundry during our stay (quarters are not easy to come by BTW). b) for the first half of our stay we battled wasp nests right in front of the entry door, this was a pain and safety issue for our kids. c) the main bedroom was not as described in the photos. d) the oven needs to be properly cleaned; we made pizza one night and the oven smell was so bad we flat out stopped cooking during the trip. e) for the money we spent, we would have liked it if the bath towels did not have a bunch of stains in them. f) multiple windows screens were missing, so we could not open those windows.

This is our sixth stay over 14 years at Kuhio Shores Surf Song unit. Prior we stayed in Maui but fell in love with Kauai and the mountains. This Condo sets close enough to the ocean we can see turtles from the Lanai. It has everything you will need plus spectacular views of the ocean.Mahalo Greg & Connie Scottsdale AZ

The view from this unit can’t be beat. We worked our dinner schedule around the two hours before sunset to watch the surfers and the turtles. The sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep every night. The kitchen is fairly well equipped though an outlet didn’t work so we moved the coffee maker. It would be nice to have a bigger pan to cook on even for just the two of us. We like easy one pan meals! But otherwise the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the unit is well equipped with beach chairs and towels. Thank you! This is a very comfortable unit with an awesome view!

The location of the condo was absolutely perfect! You really can’t beat it!That said, the condo itself didn’t quite meet my expectations. While the photos may make it look more polished, the reality was a bit different. The living room couch was worn and uncomfortable, the patio furniture wasn’t very comfortable-definitely not the cozy furniture I was hoping for. One of the bedrooms had a headboard, but every time you moved the headboard would hit the wall, which made it less-than-ideal sleep situation. I’m pretty sure I forgot to move the pillows that I placed behind the headboard. There was noticeable dust on the curtain just above my head in one of the bedrooms. A few windows don’t have screens. There areas around the front door and stove was pretty dirty, some of the shutters were broken, there were area that could use a cleaning.I would recommend this place for the location, but just be aware that it’s not as nice as the photos might suggest.
