| Our family (2 adults + 2 young adult children) stayed in #507 for a week July 2009. We have stayed in 3 different condo locations on the island of Kauai over the past 5 yrs. No question - Nihi Kai #507 was the loveliest and best maintained condo of the 3. The furnishings, the appliances, the cleanliness are definitely a cut above others. Location and grounds of Nihi Kai are great. An excellent value. Nihi Kai #507 is a gem in the Poipu Beach area! |

We stayed at the condo for a week in the beginning
of July and had an absolutely wonderful time. The
condo has everything one could possibly want and
the fully stocked kitchen was a wonderful surprise.
We spent many hours at the pool with our 2 1/2
year old son and having the beach and playground
just down the street was so convenient. We would
definitely stay here again! |

We stayed at Nihi Kai 507 May 15 to May 24. An absolutely exceptional experience. The location is perfect and the grounds immaculate. The condo has all the amenities and it was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and are contemplating a return visit next year for a longer time frame in paradise.

We stayed here for 2.5 weeks at the end of April/beginning of May. It was perfect for us and our very busy 2 year old son. It was a great location and an easy walk to the pool, boogie-boarding beach, the baby beach, and the playground. We enjoyed spotting the turtles in the nearby bay, watching the beautiful sunsets, and finding paths to go for daily runs.
The condo was fully equiped and totally modern (a great renovation). It was completely comfortable right for the moment we arrived & unpacked. We cooked almost all of our meals at home and used the BBQ facilities on-site. Another added feature was the WiFi and we stayed in touch with family back home. We had an issue with the DVD player and the owner attended to it immediately, great service. Finally, the washer/dryer was well-used with the endless towels, but as a bonus, it was great to head home with clean clothes instead of a bag full of laundry! Overall a relaxing stay, I would not hesitate to stay here in the future. |

| We stayed in Maureen and Bruce's condo 3-21-09 through 3-28-09 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The remodel of the upstairs was absolutely beautiful. It was so nice that the kitchen was stocked with many of the spices/oil/vinegar needed for cooking. The WiFi service was also much appreciated for those of us who want to stay connected! Maureen was very responsive and accommodating. We hope to come back soon and will recommend this unit to friends and family. |

My wife and I stayed at Nihi Kai from the end of January 2009 through early March, 2009. We have stayed in either unit #501 or #507 at Nihi Kai for the last 3 years. Both units have recently been beautifully renovated and to us, either is a home away from home. This year we stayed in unit# 507. The unit design is great with the main level having a nice kitchen, dining and living room (an entertainment system to rival mine at home) and two large lanais. Downstairs has a washer and dryer, two good sized bedrooms with their own TV, full bath and lanai.
The grounds are beautiful (much nicer than other properties we have seen in the area) with a nice pool, flowing palms and lovely flowers. Nihi Kai is on the sunny south shore, just steps from the ocean and lovely Poipu beach. Maureen and Bruce, the owners, are always so nice and helpful(many thanks!). The way they have appointed and outfitted the condo shows their pride of ownership and good taste.
Maureen and Bruce, Nihi Kai, Poipu and laid back Kauai have not disappointed us yet! If one plays their cards right, you can join the wallnuts to see those famous Poipu sunsets, whales and turtles.
We'll be back!!

We just spent a week over Christmas with two of our adult children. The condo was very spacious and wonderfully equipped! We appreciated the easy short walk to the beach.
The condo was so easy to move into, we felt right at home. Everything we needed and more was provided.
Thanks for the special time we had. We hope to do it again in the future. |

We had a wonderful stay in Poipu and absolutely loved the condo. It is clean and spacious, perfect for our family of 4. I loved cooking our meals in the well-stocked kitchen, and with the bedrooms downstairs, our kids could sleep while we stayed up to enjoy the relaxing evenings. We certainly felt at home after 12 days, and would come back to this condo another time. The owner was very accommodating and made us feel very welcome.
Poipu is a great place for families, and with the "boogie board beach" at Brennekes just steps away, the kids were completely satisfied. Sunsets were also a plus, we walked down to the water each evening and thoroughly enjoyed watching the sun go down ending another perfect day.

Everything we hoped it would be! Stayed one week with another adult couple-perfect setup with bedrooms at opposite ends of the lower level, each with their own private bathroom. The condo was immaculate and exactly as it looks on the VRBO website. We cooked in the well stocked kitchen almost every day and used the gas grill several times. Pool was a perfect temperature. Very short walk to the beach where we enjoyed boogie boarding, and we're definitely not "the younger set"! Our only regret was that the bananas growing right outside our bedroom lani didn't get ripe in the short week we spent there!
Highly recommend this great property. |

| We spent 10 glorious days at the condo in Nihi Kai in late August and loved every minute of it. The condo is located just a short walk away from the beach (a huge plus as we were traveling with our very active two year old). Having a super clean pool in the complex was fantastic as well. Restaurants and groceries are just a short drive away. The condo had everything we needed to feel right at home. We've stayed at several different locations in Poipu, from a private house to beachfront resort, and felt the most comfortble and relxed this trip. We're hoping to come back every year! |

We loved our stay in this beautiful condo in Poipu!
We had an absolutely wonderful vacation on this
beautiful island! We stayed here with our two
children for 6 nights and were thoroughly
impressed with how clean and well equipped this
condo was. It had everything that we needed to be
comfortable and to prepare our meals. Shopping at
the supermarket in quaint Old Koloa Town was very
close and convenient -- the Big Save is a good
store and there is a great local fish market too. Air
conditioning was not needed at all since the
constant breezes and perfect temperatures kept
things very comfortable. Ceiling fans only added to
the comfort. The climate in Poipu is pretty much
perfect!
The walk to the beaches and pool is very short.
Poipu Beach Park is a great beach for a family. The
turtles and monk seals were frequent and amazing.
Staying at this condo is convenient to Waimea
Canyon, Lihue, Kapaa and just about anywhere.
Since the island is not large it does not take long to
get anywhere. Kauai is a very happy and friendly
island and we were made to feel welcome.
The condo was very clean and the beds were very
comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and easy
to use. The lanais are wonderful -- especially the
one off the kitchen, which was our favorite. It was
a great place to have a morning cup of coffee!
The whole Nihi Kai complex was very quiet and
peaceful. The grounds were well maintained and
beautiful. This was like staying in a high end hotel
but with a lot more room and a great location.
There is no question that our decision to stay here
helped to make our vacation in Kauai absolutely
fantastic.
We happened to run into Terry who is the local
contact person for Maureen. Terry has done a great
job in maintaining and keeping the unit clean. She
is a very nice person too! Maureen was very easy to
work with and there were no issues with this rental
at all. Thanks to Maureen, Bruce and Terry!
We can't wait to come back!

We feel like we spent 10 days in paradise! The condo is beautiful, with a new kitchen, comfortable beds (a big plus), lots of room, washer and dryer, and the property is beautiful.
As for any comments about AC, you don't go to Kauii to close doors and windows and shut out the outside. We would open all doors and windows and let the sea breezes in and never felt hot. You can hear numerous birds and even the ocean!
I went with my wife and 2 kids and we all enjoyed the pool, as well as the short walk to body surf at Breneke's Beach or snorkel at Poipu Beach. We even swam with sea turtles at Breneke's Beach!
The condo is a very short drive from Koloa, a good place to go in the evening for shopping or ice cream. We shopped for groceries at Costco in nearby Lihue, which saved us a bunch of money.
We visited a few of the huge hotels nearby that were crowded with lots of people and we all agreed our condo was a much better place to stay.
Lastly, we had no problems dealing with Maureen, the owner. Everything went very smoothly. We didn't want to leave and can't wait to come back.

| My wife and I spend a week at this condo with two of our teenage children in June, 2008. We dealt directly with the owner and she was terrific; very responsive and accommodating. The condo was perfect. The grounds were beautiful, well-manicured and peaceful. The pool was attractive and very clean. The interior of the condo was very well appointed with lots of small extras that made the stay more pleasant. Condo was one minute from the oceanfront and three minutes to the beach. All in all, an excellent location and a great value. |

Homeowner Response:
In an email to me Jim also made the following comment which our potential guests may like to read- "My wife is a big believer in air conditioning (I am not), but she quickly discovered that a/c is unnecessary due to the comfortable nighttime temperatures, the trade winds and the numerous ceiling fans.

| We spent a week at this lovely condo from April 28 to May 5 2008. I have nothing but praise for this property. We enjoyed the lovely gardens, the great pool area from which you can see the ocean and that also has a very clean bathroon; we loved that we were able to use the gas barbeque when we wanted to eat in; the beds very very comfortable and the kitchen very well-appointed, with lots of china, wine glasses,flatware and new cookware, everything you need to make your own meals. The condo is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The grounds were extremely well maintained, the parking lot was never full and the location itself was great, a very short walk to the beach. |

| Absolutely wonderful! We stayed for 2 weeks with our 2 young children and couldn't have asked for a better place. The condo came with a very reasonable price, was fantastically clean, and felt like home. The condo is in a great location -- with easy access to the beach, the pool, local restaurants, parks, and even a playground. Our unit was tastefully decorated and very very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with nice tableware/barware and even came with cooking staples like spices and olive oil. We also loved having our own deck on the top floor of the unit and having an in-house washer/dryer. Thank you so much!! |
