We stayed in unit #117 for the last 4 days of our trip. What a way to end it. As everyone has said, there is no way to accurately describe the view from anywhere in the unit. The meal we had at the Beach House next door was fabulous(we had an oceanfront table). Karen and her husband have refinished 117 beautifully with high end appliances, gorgeous kitchen cabinets, granite etc. The bathroom and shower are also very classy as is the rest of the apartment. We even witnessed a wedding outside unit 119 at sunset(ukelele included). The area is quiet and convenient to Waimea Canyon and other westside attractions. The sunset dinner cruise on the Southern Star up the Nepali coast was first class(striploin dinner). I assume most of the units in Kuhio Shores are nice, but 117 was 6*.

We’ve stayed in numerous condos over the years, but this is by far our favorite. The condo is well maintained and up-to-date and had everything you could possibly need, but the location is what makes it spectacular. From the back of the condo, there is about 10 yards of manicured lawn, followed by 15 yards of lava rock, with the ocean crashing into the rocks. Sea turtles swim in the water just beyond the rocks. Surfers are out in the ocean beyond that. The condo faces south, so we could see the sunrise and sunset. And you can watch all this from the balcony. One of the best restaurants on the island is next door and lots of folks spend their big night out there….partially to watch the sunset that you can watch easily every night from the balcony. The food’s great too, we ate there one night. (And didn’t need the valet parking.) On the other side of the restaurant is a pretty beach with lots of great snorkeling. Here is a link to some pictures we took, all from the condo and the grounds.

The condo is also convenient to several grocery stores, restaurants and shopping nearby. Of course there is the rest of the island, which is spectacular too, but I don’t need to write about that since there is plenty of reference material elsewhere. Before we left, we were thinking the condo was just a place to stay at and sleep between visits to the various attractions on the island, but we found that we liked just hanging around the condo almost as much as exploring. Mike was great to work with. You can tell he loves the condo himself and wants his renters to have a great time too. He spent lots of time on the phone with us giving us hints about what to see and do. We’re planning to head back one day and stay in this condo again.

Staying at Kuhio Shores # 411 for 1 week; been here 5 nights already and loving it! The view from Unit #411 is just what the Dr. ordered for this farmer and farmerswife from the Oregon coast! So enjoying watching the turtles, whales, and even a monk seal right from the condo's rocky shore. Tradewinds, open windows, and ceiling fans offer superb cooling of the unit, so sleeping is quite comfortable. Lots of sights and great restaurants within few minutes drive!hate to leave this place, but Maui is coming up next!

We stayed in Kuhio Shores Unit #211. The location was amazing but the accomodations were not. We have tried unsuccessfully to get some of our money back since returning from Kauai in November. Mike at Signature Kauai sent us a NSF check for $500 that has been returned by the bank twice and now we're waiting for a cashiers check that Fedex says was never sent. Be very careful before you rent from Signature Kauai!
