It is then rented for 3 months and the cycle repeats itself. It is treated like a Home, not just a rental. We strive to repair items before they break and to replace major items frequently. Previous Guest reviews notice and praise the cleanliness & care of the Condo.

Absolutely perfect!

Where do I start? From the moment we booked with Nancy (the owner), we felt welcomed! She contacted me and made sure everything went smoothly. This is our second time staying in this particular condominium property. The first time, we stayed on the opposite end, penthouse corner overlooking the surfers and restaurant. It was an incredible view, but way too loud (between the people from the restaurant and the loud pounding surf). Nancy’s unit overlooks the serene blue ocean with mountain views as well…both breathtaking! The bedroom is in the back, so you hear the waves, but it’s a gentle soothing sound with the trade winds cooling us off at night! No need for air conditioning (but it’s available if needed). The condominium is perfectly located with great shopping and restaurants nearby. There is a beach you just walk to and the blow hole is right around the corner! We enjoyed golfing three times at a beautiful course, hiked twice on opposite ends of the island, and loved each morning’s sunrise and sunset! The condo is well equipped with everything you need, including beach chairs and large beach towels. One of our favorite things was sitting on the lanai each day, sipping coffee and watching the many sea turtles right from our balcony! We also enjoyed a spectacular show of whales breaching each day! We loved our stay so much; we can’t wait to book this exact place again soon! Thank you for sharing your beautiful and magical home with us, Nancy and Doug!

Very Disappointing - Misleading Description & Owner Urged No Review Unless it was 5-Star

My previous stays at Kuhio Shores were wonderful, but this unit fell short of expectations. The property description was misleading in multiple ways: Bedroom-We did not see or hear the ocean from the bedroom as advertised; it is close to parking lot and near a busy restaurant, not the "quiet location" advertised; not a "master" bedroom nor "retreat", bathroom across the hall; blankets appear worn; no extra sheets. (FYI, small coin laundry room closes at 9 p.m.) Amenities- Sparse and low quality "starter basics” (e.g., very diluted hand soap, very thin toilet paper; “spices provided” were only salt and pepper, no aluminum foil) When we requested clean sheets, our needs were not met. Overall, the experience did not align with the property description nor meet the "luxury" standard advertised. In addition, the owner sent an unsolicited email (on checkout day) and here is an excerpt: “If you feel a 5-Star review is not appropriate, instead of writing a review, … Please give me the opportunity to accommodate you…. Again, thank you for not writing a review.” There were additional messages telling us it is best not to write a review. I provided the full email to VRBO.

Nice view of the bay and…

The location of our stay was perfectly situated to walk or drive short distances to everywhere we wanted to enjoy on the south/west areas of the island. Our host offered perfect recommendations and communicated exceptionally well. We would definitely stay again if back in the Poipu and Kōloa area. Fantastic hosts and beautiful area!!!

Hawaiin beauty

Beautiful place overlooking the an inlet of the ocean. Everything was great! I like the smaller beach and grassy area to hang out on with a very small crowd. It’s close to poipu beach but, in my opinion they’re way too crowded. The only thing I would add to it is some kind of screen, that still allows you to see through, out on the deck/patio so you can drink your morning coffee without it being to hot. The sun rises on this side and it isn’t cool enough To sit until late afternoon.

Exceptional Stay with Stunning Views and Outstanding host

Our stay was truly exceptional, thanks to Nancy and Doug. They communicated with us throughout our entire visit, ensuring everything was perfect and offering valuable suggestions for restaurants and activities on the island. Their local knowledge made our experience even more enjoyable. The condo itself was immaculate, offering stunning views and a prime location. We loved being close to restaurants, shopping centers, hiking trails, and so much more. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend this condo and greatly appreciate the attentiveness and hospitality of Nancy and Doug. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

We enjoyed seeing the sunrise in the morning and joining the other folks on the lawn for sunset. The beach chairs and cooler were great. The condo had everything we needed. The bed was a bit soft but we slept fine. The breeze from the windows was lovely but having AC was nice at night. Would definitely stay again

The condo was perfect for 2, the kitchen has everything we needed plus more than I have at home! Bed was very comfortable and recliner chairs were great for watching movies on the TV.
