About this property

New Ground-Floor Poipu Escape Near Shipwreck Beach

  • Summary:

    Walk out for coffee on the private lanai, then take the short stroll to Shipwreck Beach from this ground-floor Poipu Sands condo in Poipu Kai Resort. This one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home sleeps three and makes a relaxed landing place for a couple or small family exploring Kauai's sunny South Shore. Ocean and garden views add a sense of place, while the bright living area and full kitchen make time at home just as easy as time out. Choose between two shared pools, use the tennis courts, or plan a beach day with Poipu's snorkeling and shoreline close by. A dishwasher, in-unit washer and dryer, and high chair simplify the family details. With beach access, pool time, and South Shore dining nearby, this is a comfortable choice for guests who want Poipu's coast at an unforced pace.



    The Space:

    The bright living area opens to a private lanai, where coffee and meals come with ocean and garden outlooks. This ground-floor one-bedroom sleeps three and includes a full kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer, and a high chair for simpler family travel. The layout is comfortably scaled for a couple or small family who plan to spend their days outside.



    Guest Access:

    This Poipu Sands condo, set within Poipu Kai Resort, gives guests access to the shared pool, plus resort grounds with garden and ocean views. A private entrance and ground floor layout make coming and going easy, and the beach is just a short walk away.



    The Neighborhood:

    Poipu Kai is set on Kauai's sunny South Shore, close to the bluffside views and surf at Shipwreck Beach. Poipu Beach Park is nearby for calmer swimming coves and snorkeling, while the restaurants and shops at Poipu Shopping Village give you an easy dinner option after the sand. Old Koloa Town is a short drive inland for coffee, food, and sugar-plantation history. It is a well-placed area for travelers who want beach days without a complicated plan.



    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.

50th anniversary trip

The condo was beautiful with a great location and good views. We loved the nearby beaches. One was great for snorkeling and another was good for boogie boarding. We still enjoy both, even though we are in our seventies.

Amazing property, would come here again

This property was awesome! It had a great view of Shipwreck beach, which is only a 5 minute walk away. It’s very spacious and clean. They provide chairs, a cooler and beach toys. A washer and dryer is located right inside the room which was very useful. The pool is a short walk from the room and very nice to relax by.

Excellent 5/5

We had a great time staying at this beautiful condo. Perfect location, with a quick walk down to Shipwreck Beach. BBQ’s on site, which was great with the ocean views. Condo was super clean. Had everything you would need, to include washer and dryer. Host was even nice enough to leave a couple laundry pods. Jim was great to work with. We love Poipu Sands, and this is one of the best condos we’ve stayed in.

Poipu in January

We had a wonderful stay in the condo thanks to Jim the owner and thanks to prior visitors, who I think left some of the supplies. We added to them. 12-15 min walk to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach on oceanside path, depending on how far you want to go. Amazing sunrises seen from the path and beach around 7:15AM. Short drive to local eateries, shopping and Poipu beach, where there is family friendly snorkeling.

Wonderful place to stay

We came to enjoy a paradise vacation to celebrate our 40th anniversary. This condo looks exactly like the pictures! Don't hesitate to stay here. Beautiful condo with beautiful views of the ocean and Shipwreck Beach from the lanai. A 10 minute walk to Poipu Beach for sea turtles and monk seals and walkable to a couple of restaurants. Easy check in/out process. While not related to this condo, a MUST DO while on the island is a doors off helicopter tour of the island. Worth every penny!

Great location

A bump in the road for the owner Jim as his unit needed work due to sudden water damage. He was wonderful communicator. He kept us update and found us another unit to rent. Poipu Sands is a great location. The pool was fabulous. Even with all the construction around us our stay very nice. We would rent this unit again in the future. What a beautiful view!

Had a lovely, relaxing stay

The property was just as pictured and described. The view of the ocean and mountains in the distance was beautiful and we enjoyed walking down to Shipwreck Beach and seeing the monk seals and walking along the cliffs there. The property itself was very spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed (kitchen was well equipped, having a washer and dryer was amazing, and the lanai was a great place to relax and read).My only note is that I thought it was a 10-minute walk to Poipu beach...it was a 10-minute walk to Shipwreck Beach, and we chose the very pleasant 5-minute drive to Poipu Beach. Also worth noting, if you're a light sleeper, that the bedroom is next to the main road and there was noise from cars, though the street was mostly busy in the mornings and late afternoons.Truly it was an enjoyable stay - thank you!!

Wonderful stay in Poipu

My husband and I had a delightful stay at Jim's condo in Poipu. The unit was even better than the pictures! The view of shipwreck beach is amazing and we loved waking up to watch the sunrise every morning, and enjoying our evening meals on the lanai. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need, including high quality cookware. The bed was very comfortable. We actually enjoyed the lack of AC as the trade winds were more than adequate to make the unit comfortable and we were able to enjoy time outside listening to the ocean rather than the neighbor's AC unit. The unit had everything we could need for enjoying the beach including towels, chairs and a little cooler. Thank you Jim for hosting us at your incredible Hawaiian home!

Our Stay Exceeded our Expectations

First of all, the property was larger than I had expected and would be very comfortable for 4 people. The place was fresh and spotless. The view out the front was postcard perfect. The common facilities, (Pool and Gas Grills) were also top notch, and were carefully cleaned by the Condominium staff everyday. The nicest surprise was how complete the kitchen and cooking equipment was. I have been to "high end" places many times where there were just 4 of each kind of dish, glass, cup and eating utensil. This place was awesome in that it had about two complete sets of everything. It was also nice that there were starter sets of dishwasher and laundry detergents there. we eventually ran out and added more to the cause for the next person. There is also great access to trails that run down the beach. A nice Tennis Court that was almost always available too. I would seek this specific place out if I come to the the south side of Kauai again.

The grass area for frisbee right outside the sliding glass door, the walkway to the pool are a few steps and the beach a few more! Location is great! Shipwreck beach, Poipu beach with turtles and monk seals, Koloa town, Spouting Horn and so much more!

This property was a 5 star condo. We loved the location ocean-view and walking distance to the Hyatt for dinner. The kitchen was very well stocked for cooking and entertaining. It was very clean. Two bathrooms was a very nice luxury. We enjoyed swimming in the pool. Nice barbecue area available as well. We could have walked to the beach. Everything was lovely about the condo. Close to shopping as well. Mahalo
