Great Location!

This condo was perfect for our family of 4 and had a great location walking distance to Poipu beach with many restaurants and shops in the area. It is a very quite complex and was a good home base as we explored the island. Deborah communicated very well to ensure we had everything we needed.

Amazing view & amazing host! Deb was great at communicating and has everything you’d need in the condo. It was so great to not have to worry about packing shampoo or body wash and to have plenty of toilet paper and towels. She had everything labeled and available should you need it! We are a family of 5 so our kids shared the queen and 1 had their own twin bed. The condo was spacious and it was such an amazing view and location. We even enjoyed a short dip in the condo pool after returning from the beach so we could cool off. The property grounds are lovely. I wish we could go back tomorrow!!

The owner is very nice and have a very good communication. The condo is very clean ! I can't find a spot that i need to clean when we arrived. The beds are very comfortable and have a white clean beddings. The furnitures are also very nice. We enjoyed seating in the sofa and also the outdoor furnitures while watching sunset. We will definitely stay there again next time we visit Kauai ! Thank you Deb for letting us enjoy your condo !

Beautiful Location in Paradise

Everything about our stay here was perfect: it has every amenity you could ever need (from beach gear, to comfy beds, to kitchen utensils, to AC!); it's conveniently located by all the hot spots on the south side of the island; and communication from the owner was amazing throughout. Best of all, the view from the balcony was unmatched! I wish we could sip coffee or mai tai's on it forever. We hope to return and cannot say enough good things about Deb and her home!

A little bit of paradise

Best of all condos we’ve rented in Poipu: quiet, lanai angled so sun doesn’t hit until mid afternoon (then shades are great), coffee on lanai at daybreak with the sound of the surf. Deb has anticipated every need. It has everything one could want, including a welcome bottle of wine. We’ll be back!

Slice of Paradise!

Beautiful condo, great views, and with the third floor access at the rear of this complex, it is completely private. We loved gazing out at the ocean from the main living/dining/kitchen areas, as well as the master bedroom. We also loved that it is just a short walk to Poipu Beach and so much to do in the surrounding area. Deborah is a fantastic hostess, sending all the info we needed well in advance. The condo is well furnished. Very comfortable bed, and spacious layout.

We had the trip of a lifetime in Kauai at Deborah’s magical villa! The pictures don’t do it justice. The location is very private yet is walkable to all the beaches, hot spots to eat, snorkeling, etc. Deborah was very responsive before and during the trip to answer questions and point is in the right direction.

Gorgeous, modern condo with an OUTSTANDING view!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful condo. The view is phenomenal. We've stayed in several condos on Kauai and in Koloa specifically, and this one had the best view by far. It includes a VERY wide expanse of ocean, as well as the surrounding mountains. Gorgeous! The condo itself is in pristine condition. The open architecture is wonderful, with lovely high ceilings. The beds are very comfortable with high-quality linens. The hosts made us feel very welcome. We couldn't have asked for more!

Very nice condo with a great view

The condo itself is very well outfitted and the property as a whole is well maintained. The view from the main lanai is great and pretty unique in that you can see the ocean and the highest point on Kauai all at the same time. The kitchen and large dining table allowed us to host multiple dinners with another family that was staying at a different (and not as nice) Nihi Kai condo. The AC and ceiling fans worked well and were very much appreciated. Poipu Beach was easily accessible and featured turtles resting on the beach every morning we went down there. This beach also had a nice protected area for our young kids to play in the water. Deb was a fantastic and very responsive host!

Perfect in every way!

What a wonderful property and owner/manager! The condo was beautiful with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. So many thoughtful details - from a waiting bottle of wine to beach towels and beach chairs and beach toys! The place is impeccably maintained. The fully appointed kitchen made cooking our own meals easy and I’ve never seen such clean gas grills. How nice to be cooking at the stove and admiring the gorgeous Poipu sunset in the evenings. The mornings were equally stunning - although we usually admired sunrise from our walks on the beach as we watched the turtles return to the ocean. This location was convenient for several day trips to the west (Waimea canyon) and east coasts. There was plenty to keep us entertained locally as well - look for the farmers and craft markets. The snorkeling was fantastic! So many fish, and even sea turtles. We also played tennis several times. The property manager/owner was super attentive, provided excellent tips and was so gracious in helping us adapt to a schedule change when the airline canceled our original flight. I wish we could give more than 5 stars. This is truly an exceptional property with an exceptional manager. Mahalo!
