| | The view from the lanai is amazing - we enjoyed our coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening almost every day! The space is really comfortable and fully stocked with key essentials such as beach towels, beach chair, umbrella, etc. The staff also prepared a nice bag of 'set up' goodies that saved us from having to run out to the store on Day 1. We had a problem with our internet connection half-way through the week and contacted the staff for help - they sent someone out to fix it by the time we returned later in the day. The rental property is located on a not-too-busy lane that was perfect for running/walking and is situated just a few buildings away from the Beach House, a great restaurant that has incredible views of the sunset. Book it! |

| | I just wanted to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our 7 night stay at Kuhio Shores #208. What a fabulous place, right on the water! The eastern view was wonderful. We watched the sun rise every morning over PK's beach and enjoyed being able to see the mountains in the distance. Every afternoon we watched the turtles feed in the water below our balcony. In the mornings, we would snorkel with the turtles. On our last morning there, we counted 16 turtles from one spot. Plus, Kuhio Shores is a great location for South Shore and western island activities. Salt Pond and Maha' ulepu beaches are our favorites; and, of course, Waimea Canyon is just a short drive. Thank you so much for letting us check in early; but most of all, for allowing us to check out late. That was very gracious of you and very, very much appreciated. We were able to shower off before heading to the airport. Mahalo! |

This condo was very nicely decorated and clean. Lots of nice art!It overlooked a cove full of sea turtles and the ocean to the right.
Great location...next door to The Beach House Restaurant and nice snorkeling beach.
Would stay there again! |

| | We spent 9 great nights at Kuhio Shores 208 and the place exceeded our expectations. The photos don't do it justice. Extremely clean and well-maintained. After only being there a day we both commented on how we could give up our house and live in this condo permanently. The building is very quiet and so is the entire neighborhood. Waking up to the beautiful sunrise and having coffee on the lanai was a great way to start the day. Lawai beach on the west side of the building is great for swimming and PK's beach right off of the lanai has great snorkeling. Poipu beach is only a 5 minute drive away. One beach that may be overlooked a lot by visitors is Salt Pond Beach past Port Allen- excellent swimming and snorkeling. Just about every beach we went to ended up having at least 1 monk seal come up to bask in the sun with the beachgoers.
We used the lockbox most of the time so we didn't have to worry about losing a set of keys-- a touchpad keyless entry would be the only suggestion for this |

| | We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kuhio Shores #208. It was a comfortable room, with all the amenities that we would need. The management is fabulous. We have many travel difficulties getting to the island and they greeted us with a warm card and delicious pie to soothe our tired bodies. We could'nt have asked for anything more. The view is beautiful and the room is right on the water. Perfect location for our 40th wedding anniversary. We would absolutely stay again.

| | If you enjoy being able to hear the ocean 24/7 and sitting on a lanai and watching sea turtles to your heart's content, then this is your kind of place. Ideal for couples.
This Kuhio Shores condo was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. Not a lot of noise from neighbors (probably drowned out by the ocean!) and a GREAT view. Very thoughtfully stocked from the kitchen cupboards (tons of appliances, plenty of spices, supplies, etc) to beach gear (towels, snorkel masks, etc). In house laundry was very convenient.
The home looks as if it were professionally decorated and while it's not done in a way that's quite to MY taste, it's nice to stay in a place where the owner's have obviously tried to create a very nice, peaceful environment. We felt more like we were staying in a friend's home, rather than in a rental. Two thumbs up!
PS - Some of the best snorkeling we found in Poipu was right next door by the Beach House restaurant...

| | We stayed in Kuhio Shores 208 for 13 nights in the end of May and beginning of June. Had a wonderful stay and are still missing Kauai! The unit has an awesome view of the ocean- it's like being at the beach without the sand! We watched the turtles from our lanai every day. Furnishings and queen bed are comfortable. The art work is lovely. The full kitchen has up to date appliances and is fairly well equipped for cooking. Loved having a washer and dryer in the unit.Beach chairs, towels, a cooler and snorkelling equipment is provided and really came in handy. The information Amy sent about car rentals, sunshine markets etc. was very helpful. We had to call her manager the first day with a few questions-she was great. Kuhio Shores is very well maintained and the grounds are lovely.Someone was always out working around the place keeping it neat and clean. Drawbacks- big disappointment that the only available barbeques are right next to the dumpsters! We had planned on doing a lot of grilli |

| | The booking process was easy with quick replies to all correspondence. The condo was great, very clean, well appointed, comfortable furniture. The little extras were a great surprise, (travel books, binoculars, snorkel equip, beach towels, picnic cooler, etc). There was more than enough supplies to last the week, lots of bath/hand towels and having the washer/dryer in the condo was a huge convenience!
Location was good, view was great, quiet area, not too far from grocery stores, etc. Restaurant next door was very good. Watched turtles in the water right in front of our condo.
The directions to the condo could be better, but luckily we arrived during the daytime and found it ok. Snorkeling in the area is great! It was a treat each evening to sit on the lanai with a glass of wine looking over the ocean. Enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked in for 2 weeks next year!

Location and view were terrific. Took our glass of wine down to the grass area each night and watched the sunset!
The unit was very well equip, kitchen and otherwise. It was nice to have a washer and dryer in the unit. The 'library of books' in the foyer was a nice touch! |

| | We were delighted with the accomodations at Kuhio Shores #208. It far exceeded our expectations in conveniences, amenities, and charming, comfortable decor and furnishings. From the large items like beach gear (chairs, coolers, umbrella, snorkel and boogie boards, etc.) to the smaller things like books on fish and hikes, the condo provided all and more!
The central location made visiting the east and west sides of Kauai very convenient. We enjoyed visiting all of the Botanical Gardens - two being quite close! And we enjoyed snorkeling at Poipu Beach and Salt Pond. Besides the many birds, seeing wildlife such as the monk seals on the beach and also the turtles added another dimension to our visit.

| | We chose this condo based in large part on the reviews we had read here at FlipKey and were very pleased with our decision. This is a smallish, well-appointed condo, perfect for two people, with unbelievable views of the ocean and its turtles.
Amy at GVR was great to work with -- responsive and flexible. I appreciated the fact that all check-in information was supplied by email in advance of our arrival, so we were able to go directly to the condo without having to stop at a rental office. Everything was clean and working properly upon our arrival.
The condo is well-stocked, from kitchen supplies and bathroom amenities to the much-appreciated beach supplies like chairs, towels, and snorkel gear. I defy you to find a closet or cabinet in this place that does not contain a stack of fresh towels and sheets! There was wired internet (not wi-fi) which worked fine and two cable TVs.
Our only complaint was the mattress, which is only a double and almost ridiculously soft. We sank ri |

| | Kuhio Shores was everything we expected and more. The condo was clean and very comfortable - the owners had thought of everything we might need for our stay. We loved having our morning coffee on the balcony and watching the dolphins play. The sounds of the ocean waves at night was so peaceful. We slept like babies. :-) It is located next to one of the best restaurants on the island. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and we can't wait to go back. Mahalo! |

| | We had an amazing time Kuhio Shores #208. The place unit was clean and up to date. They thought of everything. Beach gear, organic soaps and shampoos, just to name a few. The view is glorious. We woke up to beautiful sunsets, and sea turtles every morning. My wife and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary coming back to the island we had our honeymoon. We felt refreshed and renewed after our time in wonderful Kauai. We plan on coming back again, maybe with our kids this time. Thank you Carey for arranging this. We pray that all is well with you and your sweet family. |

| | Ovreall, we loved our stay here b/c the location was fantastic. The view from the lanai was wonderful and you really could hear the waves from all over the unit. We saw sea turtles most days from the lanai. The unit was adequate meaning the kitchen and bathroom were definitely clean and all the things you would need were there. The washer and dryer in unit were great. As for the service - we didn't get much of a welcome but when the tub wasn't draining, they had someone out to fix out that day. The downsides: 1) Although the kitchen and bathroom were clean, some of the things in the bedroom had a thick coating of dust (lamps and fan) 2) The bedroom is hot despite 2 fans. There is not a breeze in there. We had a hard time the first night but then adjusted. 3) The elastic on bedsheets was worn out. Slightly annoying b/c we had to pull the fitted sheet down over the corners during the middle of the night. 4) Furniture on lanai didn't have cushions. Not comfortable. We just pulled a few ch |

| | My wife and I very much enjoyed our stay here. Kuhio Shores was a terrific location for the winter months (would probably go to the north shore in the summer, but then again I wouldn't travel to Hawaii in the summer). The snorkeling right outside was the best we experienced on the island and swimming with turtles, literally a stones throw from the lanai, was certainly one of the highlights of the trip.
The bed was surprisingly comfortable. Having a washer/dryer to our own was a fantastic feature. Didn't care for most of the decor. The kitchen worked out just fine.
