Tremendous views from the lanai and throughout nearly this entire condo. Amazing sunsets to be seen, with daily sea turtle sightings and the occasional dolphin and whale watching…all without having to step foot outside the condo. Also to be enjoyed are the Pacific waves crashing into the rocks below (light sleepers beware :)
The condo came well equipped for cooking/eating in. There were plenty of towels and toiletry basics. Plus a full bevy of beach gear; chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkel gear plus a wagon to easily haul everything.
Something to note, is the area rugs in the living room and master bedroom. They seem to be massively shedding fibers, which are tracked everywhere up onto the couch, etc. Like living with dogs/cats.
Poipu Shores is a great property, with a very nice cliffside heated pool, several bbq grills are available, plenty of parking, and only a few minutes walk from the property to Poipu and Shipwreck beaches. Only a few minutes drive to a multitude of Poipu’s excellent dining, shopping and shaved ice options. Koloa is about a five minute drive away, with a collection of tasty food trucks and the old plantation shopping center. The Fresh Shave is a must there.
Poipu is a fairly ‘central’ location to stay on Kauai. Exploring other parts of the island, Poipu Shores is ~20-30min drive from LIH and ~45min-1hr from the far Western (Waimea Canyon, Na’pali Coast) and/or Northern Shores (Princeville, Hanalei) of the island. The South Shore / Poipu area weather is less rainy and typically the surf is calmer and more conducive for swimming, snorkeling, etc., especially in the winter months.
Overall great stay. Can’t wait for our next Kauai trip.
