Puu Poa 410 [1]
Wonderful view but a lot of deferred maintenance
Reviewed on 2025-03-29 by , Mason, MI United StatesThe views and location made this stay enjoyable, but the condo is in need of some serious maintenance. The unit was uncomfortably warm upon arrival with no AC and no window coverings. The fans were filthy but we had no choice but to use them. The carpeting was dirty and coming up in every corner. One of the screens was ripped at the bottom allowing bugs and even geckos to come in the unit. The umbrella on the lanai was completely tattered and falling apart. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were nice. With some new paint, new flooring and simple repairs, this condo could rent for double just on location alone.
Terrific Ocean Views from a Tired Seaside Apartment
Reviewed on 2025-02-16 by Jack S. , OTTAWA, ON CanadaThe view of the ocean was spectacular and the property was clean. The staff at Oceanfront were professional and the app was quite helpful. However, the apartment had a minimum of amenities, the curtains were ragged and the doors were splintered. With a minimum of TLC the property could be something very pleasant and welcoming
Exceptional Experience
Reviewed on 2025-01-29 by Kristen E. , San Diego, CA United StatesOceanfront Realty was incredible to work with - I'll never book with another group again! Their customer service is excellent and the condo was superb. Really appreciated their email updates with things to do around the island also. Nothing but great things to say about this experience!
We loved the location and the property however disliked the unit!
Reviewed on 2024-10-29 by Gina A. , United StatesThe property staff was very nice but misleading on the unit. I wouldn't represent a unit like this for your reputation as a property management company. Unit 410 needs a lot of work
The unit is in immediate need of upgrades. It is very dated and wasn't inviting. For the price we paid, we felt it wasn't stocked with a nice inviting kitchen to cook in, all the supplies were very old and the unit had a muggy and old smell. The mirrors are rusted and old in the master bathroom, and patios weren't clean. The view was beautiful however that was about all that the unit had to offer. We would definitely not stay there in that unit or recommend it to anyone. We saw the unit next door and would definitely stay there, it was very nice unit 409. Also a fan was broke and there is no AC and it was very hot. The iron ruined two of my outfits because it is so old and doesn't work and my clothes stuck and burned. Very disappointed ☹️ <br/>The property staff was very nice but misleading on the unit. I wouldn't represent a unit like this for your reputation as a property management company.

Perfect stay in Kauai!
Reviewed on 2024-07-05 by Jocelyn R. , Ithaca, NY USThis is a gem of a place to unplug and completely relax, for a couple or a family. We stayed for a week with two kids (10 and 6) and it works both as a place to chill out and stay in within walking distance/10 min drive of beaches, restaurants, ice cream etc, or as a base to explore. The pool and both the adjacent and nearby beaches are fabulous. The condo was clean, well equipped and well maintained. The view from the balcony is stunning and overall ambience is utterly peaceful. The property management company were extremely responsive and helpful. The lack of AC is not a problem, but a very minor comment is that it would help to have a curtain in the main living room to block the afternoon sun. This wasn’t a big deal, however. We had a fabulous time and can’t recommend it enough.

Insane view and heat when we checked in
Reviewed on 2022-10-09 by Brad P. , Kihei, HI USAloha- The views off the balcony are incredible. We had insane sunset over Bali high with clear skies three nights in a row. Management company needs to leave the screen doors open prior to check in. It was too hot when we arrived and all closed up. The way the door locks on the unit it makes no difference if it is screen doors or glass doors closed for security. We left our windows open the whole time with screens and on the last night it was a little chilly. Great place, basic and priced as such.
Million dollar view!
Reviewed on 2022-10-04 by David H. , Sacramento , CA United StatesView was a 10!
Kitchen was a 9 - one of the best equipped kitchens ever - it would have been a 10 if the non-stick pans weren't so badly scratched and peeling.
Overall condition of unit was a 6. The carpet had stains, and was very worn. There was a big rip in one of the couches. The master bedroom had a double sliding door for the ocean view, but the only window for ventilation was a 2' X 1' window (VERY BAD ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN) there was also mold on the floor by the tiny window. The bedroom would not cool down until one or two in the morning. We loved the shower in the master bath (didn't understand the bathtub) but the bathroom smelled badly of mildew and the the fan was too small. The mirror looked antique - was it supposed too? The spare bedroom had a normal size window and had a wonderful flow through breeze. The sheer curtains by the giant sliders facing the ocean were falling down - they tried to fix with safety pins - not very well!
We only dealt with the property management one time when we needed a new tank of propane for the BBQ. They were spot on!
The units amenities doesn't mention having a BBQ - there's an excellent BBQ at the unit.
We would not recommend this unit - the owner doesn't seem that concerned about the condition of the property. Many units have air conditioning - highly recommend or change the windows in the master bedroom.
We highly recommend the Puu Poa property.

Great View
Reviewed on 2022-02-13 by , Elberta, UT United StatesThe view was great. We spent many hours watching the waves, surfers and sunsets from the lanai. The condo was fine but dated. It’s in need of a refresh both inside and out. The furniture is well used but also what you expect in a vacation rental unit. The unit got very warm during the afternoon so next time I will rent a unit with A/C. We really enjoyed our stay however.
Puu poa review December 17-24 2021
Reviewed on 2022-01-09 by Doran D. , Redwood City, CA USThe location and view are amazing! We like the pool also. The kitchen had some very basic pots/pans, but we were able to cook just fine. The BBQ was nice, but wasn't mentioned on VRBO (recommend to add this in the property description). Overall we were pleased with the condo, with only one exception. The Wifi was too slow to be usable, and our cellphones only had 1 or 2 bars (on Verizon) while onsite. This made the internet pretty much unusable, so things like checking the weather, restaurant reviews, travel sites were either painfully slow or not accessible at all. I'm really glad I didn't have to do any work while there. The managers responded to our queries but said it's the provider so there was nothing to be done.
Old, Hot, Dilapidated Condo With a View
Reviewed on 2021-05-25 by Tony G. , United StatesThe Condo was not modern, it was old and dilapidated. There is no air conditioning, just fans. The condo heats up with the afternoon sun to a level that is unbearable, even with fans on. Also the condo is on the upper floor, which is up 3 flight of stairs without an elevator. The condo had a leak in the master bedroom, so each evening when it rained, we had dripping sounds on the soaked carpet and mold was forming. There was not enough shampoo or soap and the place was decorated in some weird Asian-bamboo 60's vibe. I would not recommended paying $600/night for this experience.
