Poipu Sands 513 - Ocean Front with Awesome View of Beach

POIPU SANDS 513

Discover the unique kind of peace and tranquility you can only get from oceanfront living. Backing to the lush Poipu Greenbelt, this well-appointed ground-floor condo offers unobstructed ocean views and puts you only 100 yards from Shipwreck Beach.
Start your day off with coffee on the lanai while watching the sunrise over Shipwreck Beach, follow the greenbelt down to Brennecke’s Beach for a day of sunbathing and bodyboarding, then catch a spectacular sunset just a few minutes further at award-winning Poipu Beach.

After a dip in the resort pool or a round of tennis, host dinners with a view in the open-concept chef’s kitchen with an eat-in bar and a dining table for six, then cozy up in the breezy open living room for a movie night on the cable flat-screen TV. You’ll also have free WiFi for checking out menus at the many restaurants nearby if you choose to go out.

The beautifully designed king-size bedroom and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room will sleep up to four friends and family in ultimate comfort, and with one and a half bathrooms and full-size washer and dryer, sharing space is a breeze. Bluetooth stereos and Smart TVs offer the latest in entertainment, and our electronic charging stations mean your group will never have to fight over outlets. Plus, you'll enjoy easy check-in and added security from our keyless Point Central Lock system.

Why We Love This Home

Awesome Amenities: When you stay at Poipu Sands, you’ll have an on-site pool and tennis court just steps away three beaches under a 15-minute walk, AND access to Poipu Kai’s community tennis courts, pool, and hot tub too.

Centrally Located: There are lots to do within walking distance: golf, beaches, walks, shopping, and restaurants.

Oceanfront Luxury: Watch for whales in the winter from the comfort of a lounge chair, have sunset picnics in the grassy greenbelt, and unwind to the sound of crashing waves and luau drums on Monday Wednesday, and Saturday nights - all just steps from your back door.

Follow the path along the Poipu Kai Greenbelt for a less than five-minute walk to Shipwreck’s Beach, explore the scenic Maha'ulepu Coastal Trail while scoping for sea turtles, and Hawaiian Monk Seals, or check out award-winning Poipu Beach, just a 10-15 minute stroll from the resort. Situated on seven acres of tropical landscaping next to the Grand Hyatt Kauai, Poipu Sands also puts you right next door to restaurants, shops, live entertainment, and the world-famous Poipu Bay Golf Course.

Beautiful view
Lovely location with easy acess to Shipwreck beach. Spent nights looking at the stars on the grass while listening to the waves. Nice views of beach/ocean. Close to grocery store and restaurants as well as major roads. Just far enough away to not hear any traffic, but great convenience.

Paradise!
We absolutely loved our stay at Poipu Sands! The rental unit is spacious, quiet, clean, and everything we could’ve asked for. The owners seem to have thought of everything that we could possibly need for a beach vacation :) Sitting on the lanai to watch/listen to the ocean was one of our favorite things to do!

We usually stay in two bedroom units in this complex, but did one bedroom this time since we were alone. The unit is clean and perfectly located. A few upgrades were suggested to owners and rental agency. This was our first time renting from Koloa Kai and we were very impressed with easy check in and quick responses to our needs. I would recommend this agency to future renters.

Great location. The “inside” AC is too noisy to be useful. Absent a strong wind, and with temperatures rising with global warming, these units may become much less comfortable.

Anniversary getaway
Can’t beat the location ! The view we had was beyond words!! This condo has everything you need to enjoy the beach. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed ! The host is first class !!! Had a few questions when we arrived , she was prompt and helped us with an early check in . When we thought we might be stranded due to a flight cancelation , she helped find us a place to stay , just in case!! We will be back next year for sure !!!!

Even better than expected
This place is amazing. The description doesn’t do it justice. The view is so lovely, and you’re so close to Shipwreck which I think is more beautiful (and less crowded) than Poipu Beach which is a lovely one mile walk. The condo is huge for a 1 bedroom, with 1.5 baths. Kitchen huge and well stocked. Bed is great, bathroom with 2 sinks. Tons of beach gear. Love the ability to open windows for great cross breezes. And the mini AC in bedroom is perfect. Koloa Kai the management company is totally on top of keeping you informed and answering any question. I’ve stayed at a lot of rentals, this is one of the very best.

I have traveled the world and don't often post reviews. This is an outstanding place. I wish we could have been here our original day (thank you United Airlines). I strongly recommend it. Many reasons for this. Other reviews articulated them. I often consider not posting a (deserved) exceptional review, because I don't want it to become so popular I can never book it again. Probably won't be back in Kauai for years, so ... this is exceptional. We loved our stay.

Great visit with friends
We come once a year with friends from Spokane. We were in building 5, they were in building 4. Couldn’t have been easier. Here’s some items to consider: * Door to the bedroom doesn’t stay closed when windows are open. * There a shortage of forks. * Buckles on the extra large swim fins are broken. * We broke a small wine glass. * Would be nice to have a salad spinner. Otherwise perfect.

Tropical paradise
The property was just as pictured and actually felt larger in person than the photos depicted. The location was perfectly situated with beautiful ocean and beach access. The additional fans that were provided in the unit were helpful to keep the living spaces outside of the bedroom comfortable. The portable air unit did struggle a bit to cool the bedroom but overall was not a problem. We appreciated the easy check in and check out. It’s certainly nice when property owners respect that a cleaning fee is being charged with the reservation, therefore, not asking the guests to take multiple steps in cleaning the unit before departure is a welcomed gesture. We would love to return to your property in the future. Mahalo.

Perfect! Great Host and Place
We booked this for our anniversary and the host had a note and little gift greeting us to the place. The room where was outstanding – from the minute we walked in until we left. The lanai overlooks Shipwreck beach, and it was delightful to watch the sun rise every morning. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay - very comfortable bed and we loved having the AC for our bedroom at night. We would come back to this unit on future trips.
