| Very helpful owners which made the whole process easier and stress-free. They answered questions before we went which made planning much easier. The condo is clean, tidy, and well stocked. The internet and television and iPod docking station are nice tech touches. The kitchen had lots of supplies, the closet had beach and pool goodies, and bedrooms had linens and towels. Those are the logistics - the location is great. The pool couldn't be closer and the waves crashing against the rocks are a constant visual and audible treat. Great sunsets from the lanai too. Seemed like there were always sea turtles swimming nearby. The beach is a short walk away. Poipu has the best weather on the island, so the sun always seems to shine at the condo. Had a great trip and look forward to a future visit! |

Just back yesterday and trying to get back in the groove again.
Wanted to let you know we had an absolutely fabulous time. Your condo is truly the best location in Kauai. The sound of the surf every day all day was a dream come true.
Lynn, I cannot thank you enough for all your kindness in helping us to have a memorable holiday. I thought I was looking for a condo but now feel I have made a friend.
Kindest regards,
Laurie H and the crew

Our family vacationed at Poipu Shores 101A for a week beginning August 19, 2008. From my first inquiry, Lynn, the owner, took the time to give helpful advice about the condo and Kauai that helped make our vacation so special -- including a tip about the nearby Koloa Fish Market, from which we enjoyed fresh fish dinners at the condo quite often. If you are looking for an oceanfront location with a beautiful view, the sound of the ocean crashing below you, the pool steps from your door, facinating sea turtles to view from the pool deck, and a lanai to have your meals and view the sunsets, all within walking distance to the beach, this is the place for you.
We enjoyed renting snorkel equipment at the beginning of the week, and keeping it (and the condo-provided beach chairs) in the trunk as we spent time at Poipu beach, near the Beach House restaurant, and around the island. It was nice to be close to the Hyatt for golf and the children's hula show.
This is a special condo in paradise. Enjoy your vacation!

| This condo was everything that was advertised and more. You begin to relax the minute you walk in the door. Very comfortable with all the amenities necessary for a wonderful vacation. Beautiful views, sunsets, and sea turtles swimming in the surf daily. We only wish we could have moved in! Five Stars! |

Lynn,
We arrived the night of 6/30/2008. Your description and pictures seemed to good to be true. Our family was amazed at the location and view from your condo. When you said steps from the pool you weren't lying. We loved the walkout to Lanai (I think your unit is in best location of condo complex...ability to walk to Brenneke Beach a huge plus. Very clean and ammenities were perfect. The Weber gas grills for guest use a huge plus.
Can't wait to go back!
Mahalo!

| This lovely condo is everything advertised and more. With the sound of the nearby surf to sooth and invigorate us, we enjoyed having a very comfortable base from which to explore the island. More, the owner is excellent at facilitating the stay with many fine suggestions for island activities. We want to return! |

What a beautiful location. Wrong season for whales but we did see turtles and monk seals. Got a lesson on the seals from a state veterinarian. That was a treat. The weather was great, the accomadations were well furnished and clean and the scenery great. We can not wait to go back.

Aloha,
We are back in Montana-5 below with snow when we arrived-but we had a wonderful trip. Thanks for checking with Susan while we were there. The condo was beautiful and so was the view. I never looked out without seeing a whale. Our grandson had a ball. We will recommend your place to anyone who is looking for an exceptional place to stay. I hope your cleaning folks found everything to be OK.
Thanks again. Your condo made our trip a wonderful memory.

Hi Lynn,
WOW! Pretty much sums up our vacation and our stay at Poipu Shores. I
can't believe how unbelievably beautiful the ENTIRE island is, you are
blessed to own such a fantastic condo in such a beautiful location.
We were very happy staying in your unit, it was clean, nicely
furnished, and oh the view! Both my children loved eating breakfast on
the patio and would sneak out of the condo early in the morning to gawk
at the waves breaking on the lava rocks (my favorite part of the trip
was watching the kids do this and just seeing their joy and
appreciation for all the natural beauty.) It really was quit spectacular.
We feel very fortunate to have stumbled upon the website which led to our rental of 101A in the Poipu Shores condo complex. The unit was beautifully kept, nicely furnished, and sat on the most picturesque location. Other perks in renting this unit is that it is just steps away from the complex's pool, the beautiful gardens accessed from the patio, the view of miles and miles of beautiful coastline, and the terrific sunsets from it's location. Our family had the most wonderful time staying here and would jump at the chance to stay here again. We recommend it highly to everyone!

Paradise found “Poipu Shores Condo 101A, Kauai .” Land at the airport in Lihue, stop at the grocery store for food and drink then go to your paradise and settle in. Don’t waste your time, like I did, driving to Hanalei or Waimea, the most beautiful spot is right at your condo. Just a few steps from the lanai is the freshwater pool, perched right over the ocean the waves crashing on the rocks, watch the sea turtles surf, take a dip in the pool to cool off. A few steps back to the lanai and watch dolphins jump and frolic in the rolling sea, look a little to the right and watch the most beautiful sunset ever. Brennecke beach just a short walk down the path from the condo, if you need a little snorkel time that is the place. Just a little farther is Waiohai and Poipu beach, both white sand beaches - great for swimming or surfing. This ground floor condo is fantastic, two master bedrooms with king-sized beds, one with A/C for those warm tropical nights. The kitchen is more than adequate, lots of room to cook gourmet meals or BBQ from several gas BBQs in the complex. Lynn, the condo owner is wonderful to deal with; she shares the joy of her condo like she is your best friend. Why would anyone want to vacation anywhere else? I cannot get that view of the green-green grass, lush bushes, palm trees and the bluest water and foamy white spray splashing up from the rocks out of my mind; oh I want to go back.

We stayed in this condo on April 1st, and loved it!!! The interior is perfect and well furnished. The lanai is soooooo close the water, you can't really fathom it until you are there.
The beds are great, they even have memory foam pillow tops. The condo has lots of extras that aren't even mentioned. It was equipped with everything from a crock-pot to beach umbrellas, games and more. It would be a perfect place for families with children. The pool was great(it seemed to be heated). There were turtles and whales out in the water the whole time we were there.
The owner has really good taste and the condo is very clean. We didn't use it, but I noticed there was a high speed internet connnection, which could be handy!
If this place doesn't please you, nothing, and I mean nothing, will. It's a bargain for what you get, and the photos don't do it justice. |

Hi Lynn,
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your lovely condo. Could there possibly be a better location than that? We saw sea turtles and humpback whales just from the lanai. It just all seemed to end too quickly but we'd love to come back again.
Thank you for sharing your lovely condo. It had all the amenities we could want.
Sincerely, Sue |

Poipu: Castle Poipu Shores: "Only One Thing We Would Have Changed"

My experience with this property took place in:
January, 2007
Would I recommend this hotel to my best friend? absolutely!
My ratings for this hotel are:
Value
Rooms
Location
Cleanliness
Business service
I recommend this hotel for: Young singles, An amazing honeymoon, A romantic getaway, Girlfriend getaway, Older travelers, Great pool scene, Families with young children, Families with teenagers, Tourists
I do not recommend this hotel for: People with disabilities, Pet owners
I selected this hotel because ... Beach / Sun, Outdoor / Adventure, Shopping
My age: 35-49
Traveling group: Family with teenagers
My visit was for: Quality time with family
The only thing we would have changed was the length of our stay. We wish we could have been there much longer than four nights! Our unit was superb. It was clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated, and even had a nice washer and dryer (took care of our towels, etc.). We loved the view and the sound of the ocean waves. There was an a/c unit available in the ocean front bedroom, but we never needed it, the breeze was so perfect.
The owner, Lynn, was very helpful and gave us a lot of good advice for restaurants, etc. Poipu Beach is a wonderful beach, and restaurants such as the Beach House are very close. The next time we go to Kauai, we will definitely want to stay in the same unit.
We found this condominium to be a great headquarters for our island exploration. Its pretty close to the canyon, Port Allen, and Lihue. Further details about the unit can be found at [--]. It was also nice that it was the last unit in the building, right by the pool. We leave it behind, but will always cherish the wonderful memory of our stay in 101A

Aloha and Happy New Year Lynn!
We so thoroughly enjoyed your little nest in Paradise. Eberhard and I felt you have the best location in Poipu. The thundering surf was spectacular, and we found the amenities very agreeable. We would definitely stay there again. Pam
