Spectacular Floor-To-Ceiling Ocean View, Ground Floor For Direct Ocean Access!!!

On Kauai's sunny south shore. Floor to ceiling windows on the lanai, for the full width of the condo facing spectacular ocean views and sounds, on the side of Kuhio Shores where the giant sea turtles hang-out, with the lanai facing the trade-winds for constant comfort. Steeped in ultra warm hawaiian decor with Koa wood and etched glass and Hawaiian art, and walking directly out to the ocean from the lanai make 106 is the "best of the best" Kuhio Shores offers.

Weekly stays steeply discounted.

Oyster says: "the only hotel this close to the water on all of Kauai"... It's not a hotel, but I believe the rest is correct.

Our condo is distinctive with its beautiful native artwork, shell collections, handcrafted koa woodwork throughout (cabinets, bar, trim... those who know woodwork have been amazed at the extraordinary workmanship), handcrafted etched glass and mirrors, Hawaiian style decor with a Hawaiian CD mix that provides you with a relaxing environment inducing the aloha spirit. Our condo takes you back to the time when the tropics were truly a remote adventure.

You will probably not find any residence on Kaua'i with this much Koa woodwork. Contractors have expressed amazement at the the woodworking. Add the island scenes in the etched glass and other artwork for a unique one-of-a-kind island experience.

Open the windows and listen to the ocean waves lull you to sleep.

Why settle for less than direct access to the beach? From the upper floors, beach access is through the elevators then through the parking lot... while we have direct ocean access from one of the largest lanai's at Kuhio Shores.... where you can spread-out onto the immaculately kept lawn extending towards the ocean and enjoy unconfined ocean access. Where else are you going to find the ocean at such a great price with all the comforts of home?

Located steps from the beach, Kuhio Shores provides snorkeling, scuba, surfing, swimming, biking, sunning, and beachcombing without having to get in your car or even cross the street. You are five minutes away from famous Po'ipu Beach and old Koloa town; with excellent shopping and restaurants. Spouting Horn and the National Tropical Botanical Gardens are less than 5 minutes down the road. Kukui'ula Village (restaurants and shopping) is a five minute walk.

(Note that I'm getting booking requests for winter >24 months in advance, so have blocked those dates currently, and give priority to repeat guests. Come August/September (16 months ahead), I'll solidify that schedule, and open what remains for all.)

Kuhio Shores 106 is a great location! This one bedroom (plus a couch-bed), one bath, unit will be your home away from home.

Ho'ai bay, right off the lanai, is known as some of the best snorkeling on Kauai. Snorkel with the turtles and the colorful tropical fish, just steps away from the lanai (watch the video above, snorkeling with the turtles off the condo).

From the lanai you can enjoy the view across to the Ha'upu mountain range, or the sunrise on the bay, or looking out onto the ocean, watching the waves, sailing ships, dolphins jumping, or whales breaching in the distance, and the near constant stream of turtles that come within 20' of your feet to the edge of the bay to feed... all relaxing from your lounge on the lanai, sipping your morning coffee.

The lanai faces East, so the lanai is shaded from the afternoon sun, and the ocean trade winds from the East keep the condo nice and cool year round.

Kuhio Shores 106 provides the following amenities:

o Ground floor for easy beach access
o Netflix on-demand streaming video
o King bed in the bedroom
o Queen hide-a-bed in the living room
o Fully Equipped kitchen with Kashmir granite counter tops
o Plantation shutters across the lanai for privacy with ocean sounds and breeze
o Koa wood shutters in the bedroom
o Hawaiian style decor with etched art designed mirrors and glass
o Double shower head
o High speed internet access
o Stereo and CD player with built in wall speakers
o Two cable TVs one with VCR/DVD combo, one with DVD/Blu-Ray player
o Movie, CD, and Book collection
o Beach gear (ice chest, boogie board, beach chairs and mats, beach towels, and umbrella)
o Shared washer and dryer on every floor
o Shared, well-kept, barbeque grills

Chris is absolutely a super host, he provided lots of detailed, helpful information before and during our trip which made me feel welcome to the island. The condo is clean, with safety equipment in the bathroom and beautiful view in the lanai. The location closes to nice restaurants, nice beaches, and activities in the South shore. If I come back to Kauai in the future, I won't hesitate to book his condo again.

Kauai vacation to remember

We really enjoyed staying at the Worley’s place. The waterfront location walking distance to several beaches was unbeatable. The lanai starts to get shady in the late morning allowing for peaceful, relaxing times watching the giant green turtles frolicking in the surf. The condo is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly functional and equipped for preparing simple meals. Our hosts were quickly responsive, and provided great recommendations for beaches, food and live music on the island. Will definitely consider staying here again when we return to Kauai.

Perfect vacation spot

The lanai offers a perfect vantage point to enjoy the sunrises in the mornings then throughout the day you’ll find the sea turtles feeding in the bay. The condo was neat, clean, and very comfortable to relax in, while the centralized location made it easy to explore different beaches - some within walking distance and others just minutes away. The owners were very responsive! Chris shared a wealth of information about the island before our trip and made sure all our questions were answered. We will definitely be staying here again!

As advertised

We really enjoyed our two weeks here. Everything about the property lived up to all the detailed descriptions and positive reviews. we particularly enjoyed the beautiful sunrises with the east facing ocean exposure. That made it impossible not to be “up and at em” early every glorious tropical morning. We made good use of all the outdoor equipment, particularly the beach, chairs, towels, and the handy cooler (crucial for a perfect beach day on tunnels beach… A highlight of the trip). Chris himself is fairly unique for a host. He was like having a constantly available concierge. I would ask a question or request a recommendation, check back in 10 minutes, and there would be a thoughtful, detailed answer. Thanks for all the good tips and for taking a real interest in our vacation Chris! We will definitely try to stay here again if we are fortunate enough to return to Kauai one day. Mahalo!

Absolutely beautiful condo community. The worleys had everything we could possibly need and we were able to fully enjoy our stay without needing to make extra outtings for travel accessories. The condo is beautiful, a tour of Kauai culture in itself. We just loved sitting on the patio and watching the turtles in the waves and rocks. It is definitely one of our top 5 traveling experiences.
