About this property

NEW Ten Steps from Breaking Surf in Poipu

Summary:

At this Kuhio Shores home, the water's edge is about 10 steps away, so the sound and sight of breaking surf become part of every meal. The two-bedroom, two-bath condo sleeps four and opens into a large living area where the kitchen, dining space, and windows keep the Pacific in view. Partial air conditioning and a washer and dryer add welcome comfort after the beach. Lawai Beach sits beside the property, and Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach are close for a more traditional sand-and-swim day. Surfing and diving are nearby when the group wants an active outing, while Kukui'ula is handy for provisions and dinner. It works beautifully for a family or two couples who want their Kauai stay to begin at the shoreline, not across a parking lot.



The Space:

Two sets of sliding doors and a wall of windows bring the ocean into the kitchen, dining area, living room, and main bedroom. The 1,059-square-foot plan has two bedrooms, two baths, and room for four. The full kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and granite counters. Partial air conditioning and a washer and dryer support longer beach days, while the open layout keeps the group connected.



Guest Access:

Guests at Kuhio Shores enjoy access to the oceanfront communal pool, hot tub, and fitness center, plus lush garden grounds throughout the complex. An elevator and disabled parking spot make getting around easy, and the beachfront setting puts sand and surf just steps from your lanai. Accessible-height beds and toilets are available for added comfort.



The Neighborhood:

Poipu's South Shore is known for sunny weather, beaches, and easy access to ocean activities. Lawai Beach is immediately beside Kuhio Shores, with surfing and diving in the area, while Poipu Beach Park and Brennecke's Beach are close when the day calls for broad sand and swimming. Head toward Kukui'ula for restaurants and groceries after the beach. This location gives families and two-couple groups an unusually close relationship with the water while keeping practical stops nearby.



Getting Around:

Lihue Airport is about 30 to 40 minutes away, a pretty drive across Kauai's south shore. A rental car is recommended to reach Poipu's beaches, Koloa town's shops, and nearby dining with ease. Old Koloa Town is walkable for boutiques and restaurants, while beautiful beaches are just a short drive away. Parking is generally available on site or in small lots around town.



Other Things to Note:

**Please be advised that the exterior spalling project is underway and may affect guests staying in the impacted units.

Area is beautiful water, waves, volcanic rock, and sand. Great location for Waimea Canyon and Allerton Gardens.

We absolutely loved staying at this property! It was comfortable and the view was lovely. The only downside was the small hot water heater meant our family had to stagger our showers out so we would all have hot water, but that isn't difficult to do. None of us were ready to leave, and I hope we have the opportunity to come back again one day.

Unit was clean and as described. Lovely views, quiet area and perfect for a relaxing trip. Unit is well appointed and relaxing on 4th floor balcony provided amazing sunrise & sunset views. No direct beach access as it is on the rocks. Baby beach is very easy 3-5 minute walk. The location is quiet and ideal, away from people, buildings and businesses of Poipu beach. There is a shopping center very close. Only recommendation would be more comfortable and relaxing balcony furniture.
