About this apartment rental
Summary:
Settle into the shade of your corner-unit lanai and watch the surf, open sky, and occasional sea life move across the view. This one-bedroom Kuhio Shores condo is designed for two, just steps from Lawai Beach and its popular snorkeling and surf break. The open living area, full kitchen, and 854 square feet give a couple room to slow down between South Shore adventures. Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach are a short drive away for sandier swimming, while Kukui'ula has groceries, restaurants, and a farmers market when dinner plans call. Back at the building, shared grills and laundry add useful ease. Please note that this home has no air conditioning, sits adjacent to Lawai Road, and the building has an upcoming exterior painting project that may affect some reserved dates. It is a lovely choice for a couple who want the ocean close and the rest of Poipu within easy reach.
The Space:
This 854-square-foot corner unit gives two guests an open plan and a shady lanai with an expansive ocean outlook. The living area has a sectional and 42-inch smart TV, while the full kitchen includes a high-top glass table for four. The bedroom's wicker furnishings and cedar-lined closets add island character. There is no air conditioning; ceiling fans and the coastal setting help the space stay breezy.
Guest Access:
Guests at Kuhio Shores enjoy access to the oceanfront communal pool, hot tub, and fitness center, plus lush garden grounds throughout the complex. An elevator and disabled parking spot make getting around easy, and the beachfront setting puts sand and surf just steps from your lanai. Accessible-height beds and toilets are available for added comfort.
The Neighborhood:
Kuhio Shores sits on Kauai's sunny South Shore beside Lawai Beach, where the reef, surfers, and passing sea life make the shoreline part of the day. Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach are a short drive for sandy swimming and family beach time. Head toward Kukui'ula for groceries, restaurants, and a farmers market, or wander nearby Prince Kuhio Park. This is Poipu for guests who want to wake up close to the water, then explore at their own pace.
Getting Around:
Lihue Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away, a pretty drive across Kauai's south shore. A rental car is recommended to reach Poipu's beaches, Koloa town's shops, and nearby dining with ease. Old Koloa Town is walkable for boutiques and restaurants, while beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. Parking is generally available on site or in small lots around town.
Other Things to Note:
Please note: this home is not equipped with air conditioning. This property is adjacent to Lawai Rd.

Stayed at 2 locations. Both beautiful views, very nice accommodations. Would recommend highly.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Overall this was a good place to stay. It was very clean, right beside the ocean, great location to see all the sites and restaurants, and the owners have tried to make everything easy with supplies and extras - like beach chairs, plenty of detergents, paper towels, etc. it was a good bed with choice of pillows, too. I will say it does need a little attention to a few details. Drywall in the bathroom, baseboard painting, a screen door that will not lock or slide easily, and although the sofa is very nice - the humidity has given it a musty moldy smell that in the heat of the day is very noticeable. We were here in the shoulder season of April, and the cement walls hold the heat. (I lived in Hawaii before and visited many other condos on Kauai but feel this one is a bit warmer with less air flow than most). We were able to sleep with the provided fans blowing directly on us but I can’t imagine August here. A room cooler or A/C that plugs in would go a long way in the bedroom. Overall, I would say 8 out of 10 but with a little upkeep and a plug in room cooler it could easily be a 9 or 10.

The wood floors were beautiful but in need of a mopping as we walked barefooted our feet would get dirty.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
First of all, for the strengths, the place was clean and the wifi worked well. There were also welcome snacks/gifts on the dining table, which was a nice touch. It was a cozy and good-enough apartment. We stayed here for 3 nights, and it was much more expensive than another rental that was superior on many levels, but it seems that the pattern is that rentals in this southern area of Kauai are just more expensive. Just be aware that this is an old apartment (the kitchen knives, scissors, etc. are getting old) in an old building. The apartment is overall dark despite turning on all the lights. A parasol and bodyboards would be appreciated additions (especially given the price of this rental), and I let Vacasa/the owner know.
