Owner Direct Rates at Kuhio Shores #305: |

Kuhio Shores 305, Our Jewel on The Sea, completely remodeled, refurnished and re-equipped. Luxury, beauty & comfort right on the water! When we first walked into what was to become our new home in Kauai, the views of the ocean, coastline, and lush green of the hills and palms literally took our breath away! Located on a snorkeling beach and a summer surfing favorite, we could see turtles feeding below the lanai and blowholes out in the distance. Around the corner we saw where we had first learned to snorkel, next to one of the best restaurants in all of Kauai, the Beach House. We immediately made an offer. Our one bedroom condo exceeds our dreams! If you are on your honeymoon, wish to recapture the romance in your relationship or you just want to experience the awesome beauty and serenity of this jewel on the sea by yourself, with your family or friends, this is the ideal home for you to rent while vacationing on the Garden Island of Kauai. In our completely private third floor condominium, the only thing you hear is the crashing of the waves. As soon as you open the front door, your eyes go out to the ocean. You have unobstructed views from the kitchen, living room, bedroom, dining room and of course, the lanai. Completely remodeled for the most discriminating guest, our home reflects the Hawaiian tropics. Beauty and comfort are our priority. Bamboo floors glisten in the light of the morning sunrise. New granite countertops and paint, in tropical greens and earth tones, create a peaceful, clean atmosphere. The ultra luxurious king size bed, with memory foam pillowtop is the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on (contour memory foam was developed by NASA). The chenille queen size pull-out couch has a five inch thick mattress (no bars or poking springs). Two Hawaiian style Lazyboy reclining chairs are perfect for laying back to watch waves, listen to CDs or watch cable TV. The hand carved dining room table with rattan chairs is your exclusive seat to spot playful spinner dolphins. Artwork reflects the lushness and peace of Kauai. Relax on the lanai. Seeing a rainbow or the moon shimmering over the water will create lifetime memories. The "Aloha Spirit" truly exists on the island of Kauai and we have done our best to bring this spirit into our home. Activities: We have some Kauai guidebooks in the living room. In Kauai you can sightsee, hike, bike, snorkel (two of the best spots are at the condo), fish, sail, dive, surf, boogie board, golf, visit botanical gardens (the National Garden is one mile, next to the blow hole, at Spouting Horn and, incidentally, where our road ends, thus limiting traffic.), visit museums, kayak, take boat tours, helicopter tours, AV tours (go to movie sites), shop, go horseback riding or just relax. Our teenage daughter loves to go to Koloa town to eat Lappert's famous ice cream and visit the quaint shops and art galleries. We also enjoy shopping at the outdoor stands at Spouting Horn where beautiful carvings, masks and gifts for friends can be found. Amenities: Just about everything is new in our 854-square-foot home. Top quality throughout: Floor-to-Ceiling Windows for Spectacular Views, Comfortable Seating on the Lanai, Fully-equipped Kitchen with New Blender, Microwave, Coffeemaker, Dishwasher, Cookware, Dishes, Etc. Bathroom has New Granite/Maple Vanity, Luxurious King size "Memory Foam" Pillow top with SeaCell sheets (said to impart nutrients to the skin), Ultra Thick Queen Size Pullout Sofa, Three Ceiling Fans, Plantation Shutters, TV, VCR, Stereo CD Player, Video Tapes, CDs, Games and Books on Kauai (a great guidebook), Novels and Non-fiction, Beach Mats, Beach Chairs, Two Boogie Boards (great for novice snorkeling, as well as boogie boarding), Cooler, Ice Packs, Some Snorkel Gear (if staying more than a week, it is a good idea to buy top quality gear before your trip; there are two dive shops nearby that rent gear), Linens and Towels, Bamboo and Tile floors (Carpet in bedroom), Laundry Room on our floor, Barbecue Area, Private Beach Access, Outdoor Showers, and Elevator. New: Rich, classic Italian Noccino marble shower with stone accents; Verdi Peacock Gold Brazilian Granite countertop in the kichen and new stainless steel appliances. |

Dear Molla, Your condo is lovely and very comfortable. The pride of ownership is apparent in all the beautiful natural materials you have used and they really enhance the experience there.
We will definately refer your condo to our friends and family (my mother is all ready interested and talking to my dad) and hope to stay with you again when we are able to return. I can't imagine better accomodations anywhere.
Hello.
I cannot thank you enough for the accommodations. It felt liked a very loved home and the sound of the ocean in the background kept work very far away. I think I turned the TV on once for the weather. There was just so many things I wanted to see that the week just flew by. I was shocked that it was time to leave. I did the Allerton Botanical garden tour also and was so impressed by my tour guide. I am not used to guides climbing up trees to get you samples of some of the fruits. Some of the nicest people I have ever met!!! And lastly, I was amazed at the cleanliness of the entire island. Others should take note!!! I definitely want to return!!! I am so happy you are going there soon. It is paradise!!! Well enough of my ramblings. Again thank you so much for sharing the joys of your home!!!
Molla,
Thank you for all your help and with helping us experience the great island of Kauai. Anyone who has been to Kauai knows about its beauty, etc. Having stayed at Kuhio Shores before, I wanted to talk specifically about 305. Your artwork and decor are exquisite!!! The bed and bedding were the most comfortable I have ever slept in when traveling. When I first saw the bamboo floor, I thought why do this in a condo for rent. Now I know. When the floor reflects the sunlight, it's very beautiful. As I told you we saw a complete rainbow from the lanai the first afternoon we arrived. I know that you love your "jewel by the sea," but to spend the money and importantly the thought that went into your remodel when you are renting it out most of the time is too good to be true.We look forward to next year.
Kindest personal regards,
After settling into the condo, upon our arrival here on Kauai, we found the condo to have the comforts of home. It is difficult to say what is my favorite feature of the condo as the bamboo floors was wonderful, the decor ideal and bedroom quite comfy. Listening to the constant ocean opus one is drawn into a world of wonder. Sitting in a chair, or lounging out on the lanai is more likely the best. The view is amazing and the turtles so cute. Each and every day we have had the pleasure of waking up in the morning to the glorious sounds and sight of the morning air. The entire wall of the condo facing the ocean is of glass and the view is amazing. It has been so nice being able to cook as we please and eat out when we wish. One nice feature is that one of the best restaurants on the island is right next door. Earlier in my writings I have mentioned The Beach House; right next to the complex is this joint of delight with heavenly entrees and dessert of delight. We have greatly enjoyed our stay here at Kuhio Shores and upon my future returns to Kauai I hope to make unit 305 my home away from home again. The condo was a dream. We loved it!! We didn't miss one sunrise (we were still on Michigan time!) We just got back today @4pm after leaving the Big Island at 9pm last night. It's a long trip! We stayed at a mega resort on the Big Island, but hands down we loved the condo so much more. I'll put the keys in the mail tomorrow. I'll also do a review on The Knot in my wedding review. Hope you don't mind a few more brides! Cross my fingers we'll be back some day. Probably with a kid or two!! Andrea + Matt
Aloha Molla, We had a great week and were total beach bums.......we loved Maha'ulepu and enjoyed the beach there alot of the time......we did go to Ke'e one day which was a knockout.......snorkeled with lots of sea turtles there and did a bit of hiking on the Kalalau Trail which gave us great views of the beach and a look at the Na Pali Coast...... We loved going to "Your" beach late in the day for more snorkeling and relaxation......... We spent some time at Waimea Canyon one day which was amazing......a canyon on one side of the road and an ocean on the other......does it get any better than that???? We loved the Beach House Restaurant.......great food........we did dinner there one night and appetizers 2 other nights........guess we just couldn't keep away!!! :) Ate at Roy's which was great and Keoke's which was good......of course we had to try them all.....no stone was left unturned......... Did the Luau at the Hyatt which we also loved......great food and entertainment........and just walking around the grounds of the Hyatt was enough of a treat!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us....sitting on the lanai with the waves and turtles was more than we had hoped for...we would love to visit again one day and would only consider staying at your place......it was GREAT!!!!!!!! We will recommend it to anyone we know that is going to Kauai........... Thanks again Molla.......
