What recent guests emphasize

Comfortable oceanfront condos with stunning wildlife views

Guests appreciate the exceptional location right on the water, offering unparalleled views of sea turtles, dolphins, and whales, alongside relaxing sounds of the waves. While the setting and accommodations receive high marks, some practical aspects like parking and limited onsite service have drawn mixed feedback.

Guests often praise

  • Breathtaking ocean views with frequent sightings of sea turtles, dolphins, and whales from balconies and patios.
  • Peaceful, natural sounds of waves provide a relaxing and therapeutic atmosphere day and night.
  • Well-equipped condos featuring kitchens and laundry facilities within units.
  • Convenient location near Poipu Beach and several beautiful nearby beaches and hiking spots.
  • Outdoor pool and BBQ areas enhance the laid-back resort experience.

Worth knowing

  • Air conditioning is not available in all units, which can be uncomfortable for some guests.
  • Parking space is limited and can be challenging, especially during busy periods.
  • Service is minimal and more self-managed, with housekeeping typically only cleaning after check-out; towel exchanges require advance coordination.
  • Access to the beach involves a bit of a walk and may be less convenient with children due to limited safe crossing points.
  • No airport shuttle or fitness center on-site; nearby golf course accessible.

Best for

  • Travelers seeking a tranquil beachfront spot with natural wildlife viewing right outside their door.
  • Families or groups wanting spacious condos with kitchens and laundry in a relaxed resort setting.

About this property

Welcome to Poipu Shores

Poipu Shores is a waterfront resort hotel and condominium complex located at 1775 Pe'e Rd in Poipu, Hawaii. This laid-back property offers 1- to 3-bedroom condos all equipped with kitchens, making it a practical choice for families and longer stays. Guests can take advantage of amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, an outdoor pool, BBQ areas, and direct beach access. The complex is smoke-free and pet-friendly, with accommodations designed to appeal to those looking for a relaxed atmosphere by the ocean.

The resort benefits from its proximity to Poipu Beach and other nearby natural spots, including Poipu Beach Park and Shipwreck Beach. These locations offer opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, surfing, hiking, and wildlife watching, including frequent sightings of sea turtles and dolphins, which several guests have praised. The south shore area is well known for its sheltered beaches, golf courses, and local dining, which suits visitors interested in both outdoor activities and laid-back island experiences.

Guest feedback highlights the exceptional ocean views, peaceful sounds of waves, and encounters with marine life right from the units' lanais. While the overall rating is strong at 4.5 out of 5 from 189 reviews, some visitors note limited on-site services, such as housekeeping only available after checkout and no airport shuttle or fitness center. Parking can be a concern due to limited space, and some units do not have air conditioning, which may be an important consideration during warmer periods.

Poipu Shores offers a more independent vacation experience, leaning toward travelers who prefer self-catering accommodations with the option to explore the natural surroundings without extensive resort amenities. The property is within a 30-minute drive from Lihue Airport and near a number of other resorts, providing guests with flexibility in their island stay.

One of the most amazing places. Beautiful location, and the room was awesome! The only thing that surprised me, since I didn't book the room, was the one I stayed in did not have AC. I managed but would have preferred it.

The most beautiful view from the room. We saw 3 pods of whales , dolphins from the patio. Poipu beach 10 min by walking has the green turtles comes to the beach to rest. A little noisy of the waves. There are laundry and dryer, so it is a plus.

Great place to stay for ocean view and listening to crashing of the waves, turtle, dolphin sighting etc. Definitely amazing views! Very therapeutic! Also a good and beautiful walk , using back ways, to poipu main beach area. We stayed in 204A. Laundry machine in the unit was broken, but the cleaning team were nice and offered to give us one complimentary wash. Our only cons was (1) Parking could be better - based on how the parking space is, its easy to get hit and at times, we struggled to get out to road in a reasonable time (2) sometimes, good breeze from ocean came in but honestly, we could have used some good fans or central air as it got sweaty at various times (3) additional costs paid on site - on top of the main room/hotel charge paid online to book for 2 night stay, there was destination fee ($30), cleaning fee ($329), these also taxed (~$60 just taxes)

The location of these rooms absolutely cannot be beat. The guaranteed view of the surfing turtles from the pool balcony is enough to come here, alone. I don't know how we got so lucky with our booking. Our last night was clear, so I set out a towel to look at the stars from our downstairs lanai. Pictures will never do the place justice. I so enjoyed being able to watch the turtles surf every single morning without fail while I drank my coffee on the upstairs lanai. It makes the trip feel very magical and ethereal. Would come back here again and again and again.

Not really any "service", we had an Airbnb for a week, so you're mostly on your own, but there is a local number and office for any assistance you need. The patio with the waves crashing against the rocks and spraying up in the air was wonderful and very relaxing. Unfortunately, I didn't get a single photo inside the place, only from the patio.

We absolutely loved staying here!!! Beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The location right on the ocean was spectacular!!! We saw tons of sea turtles swimming around. I can't wait to come back!

Amazing location! We were able to stay here the last 2 nights of our month in Kauai, it was a last minute decision to come back down south and this is where we found availability. So glad it worked out. Absolutely incredible views and nature's best sound machine at night. Pool was amazing and the customer service was so great, we would absolutely stay again. Walking to the beach isn't too far in distance but it's a little harder with kids as there's not many ways to get off of the road on the way down, but it's doable if you don't want to drive.

The location and family were great, but service was sub-par. We paid $700/night for the townhouse rental for a family of 6. They charged $80/a day for housekeeping, but we were told they only clean after we checkout. While we are staying, we had to put our used towels in a bag by the front door and call for housekeeping to swap them out the next morning. We called in for a swap and put our towels in bags as directed for pickup 9a the next morning. However, we left the room early and were out all day without cell phone range. When we came back to shore around 7pm, we saw that we had received a text message at 5:40pm asking if our towels were ready for pickup and to respond within 15 mins since tbe office was closing. Unfortunately. That evening g, we ended up using t-shirts as towels since we had o clean ones. Other than that. We were right by the water, and it was amazing to sleep by the ocean waves and also saw sea turtles swimming outside our window.
