Kauai Oceanfront, Poipu 'Jewel on the Sea', AC, swimmable beaches, Kuhio Shores

305 Kuhio Shores — “Jewel on the Sea”
Oceanfront Romance on Kauai’s Sunny South Shore
The moment we walked into what would become our Kauai home, we were speechless. The sweeping views of the Pacific, lush green mountains, swaying palms, and crashing waves felt almost unreal.
Perched directly on the ocean at Kuhio Shores, our beautiful third-floor condominium offers an experience unlike anywhere else on Kauai. From the lanai, you can watch sea turtles feeding below. From our property, see surfers riding world-famous breaks, whales passing in winter, and the moon shimmering across the water at night.
Located beside Lawai Beach, one of Kauai’s most beloved snorkeling spots, you can step outside and swim among tropical fish and turtles in crystal-clear water. The famous Beach House Restaurant is next door, along with scenic coastal walks, shops, art galleries, and the beauty of Poipu’s South Shore.
Inside, the condo blends tropical elegance with comfort and tranquility:
-Air conditioning in the bedroom
-Unobstructed ocean views
-Luxury Cal king bed with premium linens
-Fully equipped kitchen
-Spa-inspired Italian marble shower
-Fast, secure Wi-Fi and workspace for remote work
-Spacious lanai with chaise lounges and dining area
Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary, special occasion, or simply need time to reconnect and recharge, our “Jewel on the Sea” was created to be a peaceful and unforgettable retreat.
We also welcome you with an Aloha Basket of coffee and snacks so you can begin relaxing the moment you arrive.

Such a beautiful view with a great location. The apartment is a little outdated but it was clean and comfortable so really no complaints there. We enjoyed the sunset each night and spent our day doing some of the best snorkeling right out front. We saw turtles and all kinds of fish! The host gave us a great hiking recommendation that ended up being one of the things we enjoyed the most about our trip!

The condo is as described. The AC was appreciated in the bedroom and cooled off nicely. We made good use of the snorkeling items in the closet. Before you buy a cooler the condo has a small and larger one to use along with chairs and umbrellas. It was relaxing to sit on the lanai and watch the turtles poke their heads up. Many used the cove to snorkel and scuba dive. It a perfect location to view the sunset just around the corner of the building. Thanks for a great stay

Great condo, on the ocean. Very scenic near, quiet (other than the roosters) but they are everywhere. We highly recommend this property for couples, or small families.
