Beautiful property with scenic views. Close to Poipu beach. Only giving 4 stars because the owner/property manager doesnât return emails when you have a question which is quite frustrating.

It was a good price but the hottest place I have ever stayed in. We were miserable. The fans and window unit could hardly keep up at night.
Location, location, location! Literally steps away from the beach and equipped with everything you need for the beach. Perfect for our family with two teenagers. We lived this property and would definitely return!
Very nice place, open and comfortable. Loved being able to get to the beach to see the sunrise and view the turtles. And Puka Dog, too! Comfortable furniture and nice kitchen.

Wonderful property! We slept better in the bed than we do at home! Good times!
This was a great locationâan easy walk to the beach and great sunset views. The place was well stocked and the A/C unit in the main bedroom worked really well. We had a hiccup with the clothes dryer (belt broke and the part had to be ordered) but the property manager was quick to offer an alternative. My only complaint is regarding the beach chairs and beach umbrellaâthe umbrella was broken and unusable, and the chairs were rusty and mildewed. But other than this small fix, I highly recommend.
Just stayed here and overall it was a great stay! Check in was SUPER easy and loved the info that was left about the condo and the area. Had a little maintenance hiccup that was handled RIGHT away and the gentleman they sent was AWESOME. Not just because he was knowledgeable but he was super personable and kind.
The location was FABULOUS and the amenities were equally great. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the condo. It had a âHollywood cleanâ. The closer I looked, I noticed it wasnât as clean as you would think. The floors had old spills that werenât cleaned well and still a feeling of grit/sand in some spots, major dust and junk under the beds (saw bc my kid lost a shirt), and the tubs werenât very clean either. I will give it to the property manager, she was willing to send someone out and do an extra clean but we didnât stay much in the condo and it wasnât gross dirty but could use a deep clean here and there to help.
The bedding and towels were fresh though and my husband raved about the primary bed. We slept VERY well and it was super comfy. The ACâs were very helpful but adding one in the 2nd bedroom would have been handy as my kids didnât feel safe sleeping with the windows open BUUUT the area felt VERY safe and secure.
All in all, this was a great place, great location and we were happy to have stayed here!
We were able to stay at this great location just a few hundred yards from the beach. Easy check in and property was in great condition. If your looking for great place to stay that wonât bust the budget- look here!
The condo was really nice and clean when we arrived . easy to check in just put in the code provided in email prior to arriving. The condo was updated and had plenty of items in the kitchen to do any kind of cooking that you might want to do. They also had a large variety of extras like surf boards, beach chairs, wagon to help get things to the beach as it is a short 3 to 5 minute walk. Coolers for taking drinks to the beach. The location in the complex is really nice really close to the main pool which is the one we used ,also had an ocean view and close to a bbq which we used. Nice sports bar on site with a great happy hour. Over all I would recommend this condo and I will more than likely be coming back
Great trip. Lovely, well stocked kitchen and great room. Master bed comfortable. Master closet had chips in it that could stand touch up paint. Master closet needs W-D 40 as it sounds like a Halloween song. Master bath vanity left hand drawer and cabinet door donât close completely.
It was great to have a washer and dryer.
Walk to dining and beaches.
Overall great experience. Would highly recommend. Need to know there are 2 steps down from foyer to great room.
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 wasnât âreadyâ, but it would be on Thursday (this was on Monday before Christmas). She stated they were working on the lanai and it wouldnât be done âfor a few daysâ. 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 (Brennekeâs beach, Kalapaki Joes, the nice pool, etc.) The back âdeckâ 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 âstuckâ and difficult to close. I spoke to the property agent who arranged to âcleanâ Kahala 312 that night (our original condo) but we werenât 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 â15% discountâ. I have received no refund, and they returned the cleaning deposit to my husbandâs 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.

Family vacation was amazing Property is in a prefect location.... But, the unit needs some serious TLC. Needs to be updatedNo A/C, except for a portable unit. Afternoon sun makes the living area very hot. Excellent customer service from the property management!!!!!
But it isn't. I wish it were. Many things were just right, but the unit was simply way too hot. Too hot to stay inside. I'm a long-time Poipu visitor, and I've never stayed anywhere near this hot. Outside was much cooler than inside. There were four brand-new ceiling fans and an interior AC unit the size of a large suitcase, so clearly the owners are aware of the problem, but it just didn't work. Nights were fine for sleeping, and early mornings were fine, but by 10am it was stifling. We worked out, over our first week how to set the umbrella to shade the glass doors, pull the curtains, and adjust the fans and AC for the best air flow, but it simply wasn't enough. We spent far too much of our Hawaii holiday sitting in a ridiculously hot, dark room. Now if you go out all day adventuring, this place is ideal. But if you, like us, are seniors with only enough energy for one activity a day, this is not the place for you. We spent lots of time playing Scrabble out at the pool where it was cool and breezy. The location is great for beaches, shopping, and sights. But inside the house was really not acceptable during the day. Beds were great. Linens were top grade. Showers and washer/dryer were just fine. There was plenty of beach equipment and a wagon to haul it in. But the kitchen was really too hot for cooking - although we did. It had no ventilation and the smoke detector had been clearly moved from the kitchen to the back hall. I regret this rating very much.
We had a great time at Kahala Poipu Kai. A very short walk to Poipu Beach which is perfect for families with children. A quiet area, about 30 minutes from the airport. Place was very clean and accommodating for our family of three. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly visit again!
My grandson and I brought my his mother's my daughter's ashes to spred with our family who live on Kauai. It was beautiful and we had a good family visit. We had some closure and he enjoyed going to places that he and his Mon had visited. I would rent the condo again. My only suggestion would be to place some grab bars in the bathroom, since the tubs are slippery. Overall a beautiful place.

We stayed here for five nights in August. The place was clean and stocked with the essentials. The patio was our favorite part. It led to an open field that made it easy for the kids to go outside and run around. The beach is just a five minute walk down the path. There is one portable AC unit that didnât really help cool the entire place. There needs to be another unit near the bedrooms to really make a difference. Our friends were staying in a similar unit near us and they had two AC units in their place. There were no linens for the pull out couch. Access to the Poipu Athletic Club was really nice and a great perk. That was a fun place that both the kids and adults liked going to.
