When we first walked into what was to become our new home in Kauai, the views of the ocean, coastline, and lush green hills and palms took our breath away! Located on Lawai Beach or Beach House Beach (there are different names for this beach), it is rated the best snorkeling beach on Kauai by 'Sunset' magazine. A dive site and intermediate snorkeling reef are right below our lanai, and three famous surfing spots are on the south side of the building. We can watch turtles feed below the lanai of our condo and see blowholes out in the distance. On the other side of the building is where we first learned to snorkel, next to one of the best restaurants in all of Kauai, the Beach House, known for its view, which will be your view! Our oceanfront, one-bedroom condominium, #305 at Kuhio Shores, exceeds our dreams! If you are on your honeymoon, wish to recapture the romance in your relationship, or want to experience the awesome beauty and serenity of this 'Jewel on the Sea' by yourself, with your family or friends, this is the ideal home for you when vacationing on the Garden Island of Kauai. Kuhio Shores is closer to the ocean than any other condo or resort on the entire island of Kauai, with beach access. Learn to snorkel by the Beach House, on the west side of the building (teaming with fish; over 650 varieties in Hawaii!), then get into the water below our lanai to snorkel or dive with turtles! On the south side of our property, relax on the grass and watch surfers (little kids will amaze you!) and spot whales in winter. Right here, are three of Kauai's premier surf spots: PK'S, Acid Drops, and Centers. In our completely private, third-floor condominium (4 floors total), the only thing you hear is the crashing of the waves. As soon as you enter, your eyes go out to the ocean. You have unobstructed views from the kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom and, of course, the lanai. Remodeled for the most discriminating guest, our home reflects the Hawaiian tropics. Comfort, beauty and a clean environment are our priorities. We are following CDC guidelines for disinfecting our home before your arrival. Bamboo floors glisten in the light of the morning sun. Finishes in tropical greens and earth tones, create a peaceful, clean atmosphere. Bathe in luxury in our Noccino Italian marble shower with stone accents. The kitchen features Brazilian Verdi Peacock granite countertops that reflect the aqua of the ocean, and new stainless steel appliances. In the dining room, bamboo wainscoting and a large mirror framed in tropical wood, reflect the crashing waves, bringing the spectacular beauty of Kauai's nature inside. The ultra-luxurious, Cal king-size bed, a top-of-the-line resort-style pillowtop, is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on. We use high-thread-count sheets. Next, we take a silk-filled comforter and cover it with cool understated duvets. We add a beautifully embroidered bed scarf, making this a truly clean and blissful bed! During warmer months we rotate light-weight, tropically themed quilts. Ocean breezes cool you naturally as they are pulled through the bedroom breezeway. We splurged on quiet "Haiku" fans made by the Big Ass Fan Company. They are beautiful hanging sculptures that enhance the airflow and are rated best fans on the market by CNET. Not long ago, we installed air conditioning. It is rare to find condos with air conditioning on Kauai. Because of the airflow design, air conditioning is not usually needed but we want you to be comfortable even if the Trade winds should stop. In the living room, there is a comfy contemporary queen-size pull-out couch. We just splurged and upgraded the pull-out mattress to a memory foam mattress. There are no springs; it is thick and feels like a regular bed. Two Hawaiian-style chairs with ottomans are perfect for lying back to watch the waves, listen to music, or watch cable TV. The hand-carved dining room table with rattan chairs is your exclusive seat to spot playful spinner dolphins. On our large lanai are two chaise lounges, two soothing rocking chairs, and a tall teak bistro set for distant viewing and dining. You will be so comfortable, you may not want to leave. Seeing a rainbow, or the moon shimmering over the water will create lifetime memories. We love the arts, so we collect original works of art by renowned artists that reflect the lushness and peace of Kauai. Our masterpiece is by Fred Gemmell. This large-scale abstract painting on the back of glass was at sea for a month before it arrived in our Kauai home. "Fred 'captures with complex detail and bold gestures, the amazing diversity, and adaptability of life in all its interaction and beauty..... to create a feeling of a luminous and unfolding mystery.” We are also proud to display original pastel paintings by local Kauai artist, Helen Turner, the 'Degas' of Hawaii. Molla is an artist as well and displays her work. She also keeps a binder of some of her paintings If you work remotely, there is a desk and fast, secure internet at no charge. When you want to take a break, go out onto the lanai and watch the turtles or go down and take a dip in the ocean. Come back feeling refreshed. Because we know you are probably tired and hungry after your long journey, we give you an 'Aloha Basket' with snacks and coffee, so that you can immediately begin to relax. Walk to restaurants, art galleries, and shops at Kukuiula, and enjoy strolling the beautiful coastal walks in several directions to the big resorts, Spouting Horn, and the National Botanical Gardens, to a neighbor's fantastic bonsai collection. Across the street is a Hawaiian Holy Site, the birthplace of Prince Kuhio, with an ancient fish pond, lava stadium, and lush garden of fruit, plumerias, and bananas. Take a stroll and find a mango for the next day's breakfast. When you stay 7 nights or more, you get a 10% discount. Also, look for other promotions. The 'Aloha Spirit' truly exists on the island of Kauai. We have done our very best to bring this spirit into our 'Jewel on the Sea.' We love our island home. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the condo: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Lift - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Golf - Optional golf privileges - Tennis - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Property located in a resort - Unit size: 854 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68710000/68700100/68700010/ec0ad87e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Front Condo with AC, enjoy the ocean from your own private lanai.

(Two sea turtles frolicked beneath the lanai on the third floor during most our stay.) The unit is clean and well furnished. Poipu Beach is minutes away and a good restaurant is next door. Shops are nearby and the weather in the area is nearly always sunny. We had no rain while we were there which is not unusual in the southern beaches of Kauai but is not true in the north. ##### Charles B.

It could use with some interior "updating". ##### Carolyn E.

The owner provides excellent literature and accessibility to her and her local support person, should need arise. The condo has a balcony/lanai with amazing views of the ocean and the sea turtles swimming in it. Sunrise is stunning from the lanai. And 24/7 you can hear the surf. The condo is outfitted with many supplies including swimming and water gear. Kitchen well outfitted. Would come back again to this very condo in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! ##### Val Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah 19 Mar 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family vacation. This was our family’s first time in Kauai and will have forever memories of the island. We are frequent travelers to the Hawaiian islands and they all have something unique and special. The highlight for us here was the snorkeling. It was so close to the condo and so many beautiful fish and turtles. The condo provided the necessities and had plenty of room for our family. There were umbrellas, chairs, sand toys and coolers. My only complaint is the linens were not freshly cleaned. Our kids slept on the pull out couch but the sheets and blankets provided in the linen closet smelled like they were washed several months ago. I ended up washing the sheets and just let the kids take our blanket and pillows. Other than that, everything else was perfectly fine and we enjoyed our stay and would stay again when we go back to Kauai. ##### Sarah Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John P., Punta Gorda, Florida 16 Jun 2015 #### Second Visit even better This was a second visit for my wife and I and we love the beautiful new artwork, renovated kitchen and bathroom plus the bamboo floors and incredible view. Two of the best elements about this apartment is the location of Kuhio Shores plus the way this condo faces a bay with sea turtles, roaring surf on black lava rocks, a serene park across the street and a third floor view away from the noise of traffic and boisterous people. We found the seven day stay quite relaxing and private even though a large wedding party was staying on the ground floor below us; it didn't matter. The crashing of the waves and constant flow of trade winds kept us cool and divided from the masses. Then, when we wanted to go out there is plenty to do within a twenty minute drive or travel west to the canyon like we did for an unforgettable day. Poipu Beach has excellent snorkeling and there are plenty of great places to eat. The Save Way in Koala Town was a great place to buy local produce and foods and the condo has a top of the line kitchen for a one bedroom. In the evening we cooled fresh fish and let the winds and views from the balcony entertain us. Once in a while it was fun to flip on the new flat screen or play tunes on the great new docking station for IPhone or IPad. Nothing like listening to Hawaiian music from the balcony of this condo with mountain, bay, ocean view and all the toys. ##### John P. ### 6/10 Okay #### Jami S., Aurora 25 Jan 2019 #### It was nice! The condo is nice, the view amazing! My main complaint is the abundance of rules, information and cleaning requests by the homeowner. It doesn't lend itself to come on in, kick off your shoes and relax. For example, the homeowner suggests that the bamboo floor is scratching due to sand on guests, I would say it's more the furniture on the floor, the pull-out bed and chairs. Anytime you install a flooring that is soft, a grass, such as bamboo, it's going to scratch. The request to spray the shower doors BEFORE showering (who wants to breath in the fumes while showering) so housecleaning is happy & they stay clear... don't apply sunscreen in the condo, I mean the list kind of goes on and on. The quirks of the condo, like possibly locking yourself out were top of mind. It just wasn't very relaxing for all these reasons. I also understand that I do not own a VRBO and I'm sure she has had to deal with some boneheaded, disrespectful guests and the intention is to keep the condo nice. We only use VRBO and have traveled a lot, the beach condos have all been more user friendly than this one, but as I mentioned, the view was spectacular! ##### Jami S.

We had a great stay at Kuhio Shores. Closet had 4 beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, and hats. Kitchen had everything we needed including a little rice cooker and kettle. Great morning views from the lanai, quick walk to Beach House and Lawai Beach for snorkeling. Building is older Hawaiian style so it is comfy and quiet instead of glossy like a big new resort. ##### Greg Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca S. 31 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Honeymoon in Hawaii The condo is beautiful!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owner was very thorough, so we didn't have many questions, but she was helpful and answered quickly when we did have a question. We had an amazing trip. We would definitely stay there again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4c390458-d91b-4e54-83e0-4a491f5c4e53-1748728048927.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rebecca S.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tracy H. 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Stunning views This condo has a stunning view from the lanai. I watched turtles every day from the lanai. The condo has most everything you need. The A/C in the bedroom works well, but the rest of the condo stayed really warm even with the doors/ windows open and the fans going. There were only 2 bath towels/person & 1 hand towel/person with no bathmat. The condo listing shows that it has a washer/ dryer, but it is not in the condo. They are available on each floor, but their are 2.50/load for the washer & 2.50/load for the dryer. A little disappointing especially with limited towels. I would recommend staying here as long as you are aware of the quirks of the property. ##### Tracy H.

This place was perfect for our honeymoon and the best price for what you get !! We had an amazing time ##### Hannah A. Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kristi S. 14 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful view The communication prior to arrival was fantastic with lots of information. The check-in was easy. We spent every morning sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise and listening to the waves crash. The condo has many accoutrements for the beach, including chairs, sand toys, an umbrella, snorkeling equipment, and beach towels. We stayed cool due to the cross breeze through the condo when the back door and windows are open. Next time we are on Kaua’i, we will see if this condo is available again if it’s just myself and my spouse. The pull-out couch was not very comfortable for our child to sleep on. ##### Kristi S.
