ALOHA!

Enjoy the best of Kauai. This fully equipped ocean-view studio condo at Poipu Beach has stunning vistas of the bay, peaceful Prince Kuhio Park, and distant mountains framed by rainbows and swaying palms.

Only steps to the beach

Prince Kuhio Resort, awarded a prestigious certificate of excellence for its outstanding qualities, is a small and quaint resort about 20 yards from the beach. Some of the best swimming, snorkeling, and surfing on Kauai are right out in front at Prince Kuhio Beach and Lawai Beach. Hawaiian sea turtles and tropical fish swim close to shore in a protected cove.

The sound of the ocean

You will enjoy the sound of the ocean, the birds singing, the tropical breeze, and the amazing sunrise every day from your lanai, which has a bar-height table and chairs so that you can fully enjoy this extraordinary setting. On the other side of the resort there is a koi pond, waterfalls, and a large swimming pool surrounded by a lush, exotic garden with a picnic and barbecue area.

Located on the second floor, the 400 sf studio (including covered lanai) is tastefully decorated with island-style furnishings and a comfortable king bed. A split-system air conditioner was recently installed for your comfort. Even without a/c, many guests appreciate the cooling tradewinds that often blow through the windows and it is very comfortable for most of the year. The compact but well-equipped full kitchen has lots of extras. Beach towels and beach chairs are provided. All you will need are your swimsuit and flip flops!

A laundry facility is available in Prince Kuhio complex, located next to the facilities manager’s office on the first floor near the front parking lot. The facilities manager is not an individual unit's property manager, however, he can be very helpful in a pinch during the eight-hour day when he is on site.

Ample parking is usually available at the resort. There’s parking in the complex’s front parking lot, on the first floor of the adjacent parking garage, and along the roadside. If parking in the garage, please obtain a card from the site managers’s office and sign up even after hours when the office is often unlocked. If locked, sign up in the morning.

The owner of this unit lives on-island about an hour away so assistance is always readily available.

A 'Solid Gold Value'

The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook rates Prince Kuhio Resort condos as a 'Solid Gold Value.'

Old Kauai Done Right
We enjoyed our stay at this lovely place… it was kind of a step back in time coming from the 5 star resort on the north side of the island. However, once we settled in it was very refreshing to experience Hawaii in a way we hadn’t experienced before. The place had everything you needed to relax after a day out sight seeing. Restaurants and shopping were right down the road and the beautiful ocean view was so nice from our lanai. Jane, the owner was very friendly and helpful when we needed to ask her something… she always responded accordingly. Not sure we’ll ever get back to this island but it was awesome to have came once!

Highly Recommend!!!
Jane’s place is amazing. So many touches that were highly appreciated (e.g. condiments in fridge, sunscreen & bug spray, beach towels, chairs, cooler, snorkel masks, etc. View from lanai was good - you can see and hear the ocean that is across the street. Definitely would stay here again if we come back for another visit!

Great view/Great location
This property was cozy, but well furnished with everything we needed. The view from the balcony was awesome. The covered parking was a great bonus as it kept the car cool and free from parrot poo. We were extending a stay that started at the Westin and we found this location to be far better than the Westin. And the room was so bright and cheery, you really felt the beach vibe.

We loved staying here. If you enjoy snorkeling and sea turtles, you are a short walking distance away from an amazing snorkeling area! At night, parakeets swarmed the trees and it was beautiful. Communication with the host was great, and the stay was even better :)

They have everything
Great cozy studio with wonderful host, Jane. She has everything you could want. The bed was very comfortable, linens great, abundance of pots, pans etc. The only thing that was challenging was the parking. Street parking was tough if you couldn’t get in the 1st floor of the garage. We had a full size truck so harder to get in if all larger spaces taken. The gardens there are the absolute best sooo many beautiful or kids on every tree. Wonderful bbq facilities & pool area. Jane is the best.

Great and quiet location so near to everything South
Great little place with everything we needed for our 10 night stay. Quiet and very convenient with covered parking right across from the beach and walking distance (.7 miles) to nice shopping area and grocery store. 20 mins to Lihue stores and a little more than 1 hour to the north beaches. Tons of things to do in the South that are all within 15 minutes. The room was fair sized and the king bed was comfortable. Ocean view with sounds of waves lulling us to sleep. Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, snorkeling gear provided. We had a minor issue one morning with the power and our host was very quick to respond and eager to help. Turned out to be an issue with the power company and not the unit so can't fault anyone for that. Check-in and out was quick and easy. Thanks so much for the wonderful stay!
