Couldn't have found a nicer location or property ... beautiful views and wonderfully kept (clean, maintained, up-to-date). Walk out the door to see the ocean, flora and wildlife ... enjoy views from the pool. Close to restaurants, stores and shops and yet in a quiet neighborhood with private beaches. Fantastic exploring in every direction from the coast to the mountains to the botanical gardens. Owners knowledge of the island and it's many attractions was very helpful in planning a great stay. Best activities: sailing, hiking, fresh seafood, R&R.

The pictures do not do this unit justice. The unit was beautiful, exceptionally clean and stocked with needed items. We have been to this condo now several times and this is no exception. We look forward to our yearly visit. The owner takes pride in their unit and it shows. Truly paradise.

It doesn't get any better than this! The views are unbelievable. The ocean wildlife seen from the grassy area in front of the condo was fantastic. Sunsets here are some of the best on the island. Great spot!!!!

Our party of four were more than comfortable in the amazing unit. Lynn was the best! She constantly replied back to every email. I never once had a concern go unanswered.
We traveled all over the beautiful, breathtaking island and found the best snorkeling for calm waters, beautiful fish (including the gorgeous humuhumunukunukuapua'a), sea turtles and resting Monk Seals was just a couple minute walk at Poi'pu Beach. The condo sits at the edge of the raging Pacific waves, a billion times better than if on the beach. It's private, relaxed location is top notch. The constant breeze from the coast made us so comfortable, we didn't use the AC not even once. The pounding of the waves provides the best sleep ever! We also loved the privacy inside. The condo has pocket doors and they are placed so conveniently in the bathrooms to allow lots of room to shower and dress without being crammed and steamed to death in a typical bathroom space. The kitchen is huge and we ate as if we were in our home; even grilled out on the grills.
I simply can't say enough great things about the perfect location, roomy home, and breathtaking sunsets. The Island of Kauai is an unbelievable dream. We have been all over the world and the USA and this island will certainly take your breath away. It's better than you've been told.
Oh, and I would totally recommend renting your snorkling gear from Lynn's link (vacation rentals). The quality is top notch and it saves you the hassle of bringing yours...we did and our friend's U.S. Divers rental equipment was even better than ours. And Lynn's unit has a cooler (which we used a lot) and three beach chairs. The first beach you come to, on the short walk from the unit, is like a huge wave pool. After that is the calmer beach for the awesome snorkeling. There is a deli across the street from the beach and they have delicious and huge salads with hard boiled eggs, huge yummy freshly baked brownies and the must have Shave Ice.
In closing the unit is clean with starter sets of detergent and no need to even pack shampoo and soap. Plenty of towels (including beach towels) are also provided. I highly recommend this unit!

Princeville Ranch Adventures Zipline (super fun), Wiamea Canyon (breathtaking), Kalalau Hiking Trail and Hanakapi'ai Falls (incredible), Smith's Family Luau (awesome), PoPo's Cookies in Kapa'a (the best ever), The Flea Market in Kapa'a and Hawaiian Trading Post had best prices. Everywhere we ate was incredible.

We had a wonderful week at the Poipu Shores unit with our German friends, and this particular condo is ideally located in the warm sunny Poipu area of Kauai. Literally 10 steps from the pool, it was especially convenient and nice to be on the ground floor, to be able to enjoy the lawn right off our lanai. The rocky lava bay by the pool was favored by the green sea turtles and we were fascinated watching them cavort in the big crashing waves, never seeming to mind the surf. It was also nice to be able to walk to several beautiful beaches nearby, which we did daily. Brenneke's Beach was great for sunning, swimming and the snorkeling wasn't too bad there either. The Hawaiian monk seals would often come onto the sandy beaches to rest and digest after their night's hunting and feeding, volunteers would rope off the beach so the seals could rest undisturbed.
We found the condo suited our needs well, we had our fifth guest sleep on the inflatable bed, which worked out fine. We did our share of BBQ ing and found the kitchen to be well supplied with cooking needs. We also appreciated the use of the washer and dryer, which came in handy.
Lovely golf courses located nearby, kayak adventures in Kauai's rivers, snorkeling, Waimea Canyon,(Hawaii's Grand Canyon), swimming and just enjoying the 83 degree sunshine...what's not to love in Kauai? It is so beautiful and scenic there. I rather regret not taking in a helicopter ride to get the full effect of the spectacular NaPali coast...hopefully next time. My advice, pay the $$$ and go!
We found several outstanding restaurants in the area, Lynn provides a good list. Had some wonderful fish tacos at Merriman's Downstairs Cafe, casual downstairs, fine dining upstairs. For a special treat, make reservations at The Beach House Restaurant. Fresh fish prepared beautifully. Outstanding!
This property may not be the newest around, but we settled in and appreciated the great location, the sound of the surf and the views from our unit. I had to stop myself from taking sunset photo after sunset photo...The unit itself has nice marble bathrooms and a lovely kitchen. It was a treat to be there, and we appreciated Lynn's availability to help with any questions that came up. She was 'johnny on the spot!' Thank you Lynn!
We would recommend this condo to anyone wishing to enjoy sunny Poipu, Kauai. Two couples would be ideal, but it worked out fine with five....

This property was wonderful. We travelled for a family vacation during mid- September, 2011. My husband, 3 year old son and I stayed in the front master bedroom and my parents in law stayed in the back bedroom. You can hear the waves crashing against the rocks and the unit is steps away from the swimming pool, which was consistantly warm everyday the two weeks we were there. You can see the sea turtles swimming around in the ocean pretty much every afternoon from the pool deck. The location cannot be beat anywhere on the island. There are a few grocery stores nearby, but I recommend the grocery store in Koloa Town for better selection and the prices seemed a little lower. The condo unit is about a 10 minute walk to the beaches and a nearby playground. If you have too much stuff to carry or family members who don't want to walk that far, parking was ample and free near Brennecke Restaurant. The property owners were very helpful during our vacation planning and also responded quickly to our inquiries while were we staying in the unit. This is a great condo for families and families with young children. Kauai is a beautiful island and this is an awesome condo to use as a home base during your stay.

My wife and I and our best friends just returned from a wonderful vacation. This was our first time to Kauai and Hawaii for that matter. This condo was exactly like the photo's and was not a disappoinment. The owner Lynn was wonderful to work with and made our trip very stress free. We very much enjoyed relaxing watching the sunsets and getting up in the morning drinking coffee, listening to the ocean crash against the cliff. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we are already talking of returning. After staying at this condo, I don't know if anything else can compare!

My family and I just finished an 8 night stay at this property. We booked it last year and it was a true pleasure dealing with the owner, Lynn. From the first contact, she was VERY responsive always emailing back typically within minutes. I work the same way so it was refreshing to deal with someone so professional.

My wife and I and our two young children spent the entire month of June in Hawaii and Kauai was our last stop as we were saving it for last. We truly enjoyed our time in Lynn's property.

The location was great just literally a few feet from the ocean. It was amazing falling asleep each night to the sounds of the crashing waves. Also, here apartment was one of the only ones to have Air conditioning in the bedroom which is a definitely MUST. Kauai is so humid that even at night without AC I don't think we could have survived. The AC unit in the master bedroom was very strong and typically was enough to cool the living room as well. Our kids don't need AC so they stayed in the 2nd bedroom and the ceiling fan was sufficient for them.

The property was in GREAT condition and had everything we needed. There was high speed wireless internet that worked flawlessly. Also, the kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of things to cook. We went out to eat most nights but we did stay in a few times and cooked dinner. The building also has a BBQ grill if you want to grill out. We never did but they have 2 available very close to the apartment.

The bathrooms were both marble and really comfortable with great water pressure and lots of hot water. The hot water heater was big and we never had problems with hot water.

One of the best things was the location because it was right on the ground floor so if you wanted to go out to the pool you could and it was a few feet away! The pool was great and we used it a few times. It's so amazing because we saw gigantic turtles swimming overlooking the ocean from the pool. Also, the first day we saw a school of Dolphin swimming. It was amazing!

There were plenty of towels and beach towels and she even had a portable baby crib. The best thing is Lynn was so available. She called to make sure we got in ok and she also helped us arrange tours and beach gear and umbrellas. The company she uses is GREAT and even printed out our tickets the last day when we returned our gear.

I'd highly recommend her apartment. She is really amazing to deal with and the property is great. 5 Stars!
