There's also a neighborhood nearby which is great for taking a morning stroll. We had a corner unit which was great as we didn't have much noise to worry about except for the roosters of course. But that's expected on this island and it turned out to be good. We'd wake just in time to watch the sunrise at the beach right across the street. The unit itself was clean and filled with amenities including fresh linen and towels. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need to cook a meal.

You need it here, most of the year, so ask when you book. Some units have lanais, with cross breezes, which is great. The Beach House restaurant is right across the street & close to Poipu Beach, shopping & more.

There were a number of amenities that we did have a chance to enjoy. (Koloa was part of the 92% of the Island without power.) But why the extra star? The manager used a bullhorn to talk to guests standing on their verandas to update the resort's response to the debris and damage. General Manager Owen let us know that communal-use barbecues were being set up for our frozen and refrigerated food. Gas generators were set up for cell phone and digital equipment recharging. As guests left the resort, their extra food and water were placed on a table for anyone to take. The front-desk staff, operating on card tables outside the entrance, continued to answer our questions confidently and compassionately. I can only imagine how wonderful this resort is when not in emergency response mode. I'm sure - just incredible!

We had a great stay! This was actually our first time booking a Marriott home/villa instead of the…read moretypical Marriott resort we usually stay at, and I have to say, I really enjoyed the change. One of the biggest perks? No resort fees or expensive parking! And honestly, when you have the ocean right there, who cares about the pools? The resort is right next to Lawai Beach, which I personally think is one of the best snorkeling spots on the south shore. It's rocky, though, so definitely be careful getting in and out. The beach is also a great spot for surfing, and the famous Beach House Restaurant is right across the street. The resort itself is a little outdated, but it's clean, functional, and perfect for a family. Having a kitchen is essential for us when we travel with the kids, and this place gave us that home-away-from-home feeling. Another huge plus is that it's almost like an Airbnb. There were tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and floaties for the kids, which made beach days so much easier. They even left welcome snacks and coffee packets in the room for us when we arrived. Those little personal touches were really nice and made the stay feel extra welcoming. And the best part? Being able to sit on the balcony and watch the sunrise and sunset over the ocean. I could definitely get used to this.

I was disgusted by some of the bad reviews. What a bunch of whiny bitches. These condos are owned by individuals who have mortgages to pay. It's not a Holiday Inn, where you can go all Karen on the staff when a lightbulb goes out or you don't like their cancellation policies. I strongly recommend that if you're going to need smelling salts every time something isn't perfect, just go stay at the Sheraton.

Parrish -- Do Not Trust Them With Your Special Trip…read more We booked Poipu Sands #521 through The Parrish Collection for our 25th wedding anniversary -- a milestone we'd planned carefully, choosing a building 5 unit specifically for its unobstructed view of Shipwrecks Beach. We are not naive renters: we owned a condo at Poipu Sands for over a decade and know the property well. Parrish still managed to ruin our trip. The problems announced themselves immediately. Every screen in the unit was torn, with gaps large enough to invite insects indoors. The portable AC exhaust ducts were sloppily routed through louvered windows, creating additional entry points. The rattan headboard in the downstairs bedroom was visibly embedded with dust and grime. The window shades were moldy. And the twin beds making up the "king" in the downstairs room were fully made up as individual twins beneath the king bedding -- meaning the next guests would sleep on sheets a stranger had already slept in, separated by a single layer of fabric. Charming. But the detail that stopped us cold: ten roach traps scattered across both floors of the unit. Not one or two tucked discreetly in corners -- ten, throughout the property. Parrish's website had described this unit as clean and well-maintained. Ten roach traps tell a different story. We had been traveling since 6:30 am and had specific reasons for choosing this exact unit, so we attempted to make it work. We shouldn't have. On night three, our son found a 3.5-4 inch cockroach in his bathroom. We immediately texted Parrish -- the contact method they told us to use for concerns -- and waited. And waited. An hour and a half passed with no response. We packed our bags, found rooms at the Marriott, informed Parrish by text that we were leaving, and requested a refund for the two nights we would not be staying. Parrish refused. Parrish had every opportunity to inspect and maintain the property they were charging premium rates to rent. They had every opportunity to disclose that the unit had an active pest problem requiring ten traps. They had every opportunity to respond to a guest text - as they had instructed us to do. They did none of these things. Then, when a cockroach the size of a small rodent drove a family out of the unit on the eve of a 25th anniversary, they declined to return two nights of rent. This is not a property management company that takes care of its properties or its guests. It is one that takes your money, sends you a glossy description, and hopes you don't look too closely at the headboard. We looked. Don't make our mistake. In response to JP: You're still fussing over the request for a refund - complaining about what we told you and when we told you. We should have complained right away about the condition of the property. But that's the catch-22 for the traveler - you want to make it work because you have limited time...until you can't. So, we're passed that. Now we're telling our story about our experience with Parrish, so others won't make our mistake

One year ago, I made a phone call that would change my life (and my family's life) forever. That…read morephone call was made to Tim Mira. As my family and I started our journey to buy a home on the island of Kauai, Tim was there every step of the way to inform us and to guide us in our decision making process. He listened to our wants and gently guided us in the right direction (never being pushy in the process). I can't say enough good things about Tim. Our family could not be more happy with the purchase of our condo, and I'm so happy to call Tim our friend! Mahalo Tim for making our dreams come true. Leah Santat

"Tim Could Call Me Today" was my mantra for over one year as Tim Mira diligently searched for the…read more"Right" home for my husband and me on the magical Garden Island of Kauai. Tim represents all that I adore about Kauai's Aloha spirit. Tim is about building relationships - relationships that last a lifetime. He treats his clients with integrity and respect - as though they are Ohana (family). By taking the time to get to know my husband and me, he helped us to formulate the lifestyle we're hoping to lead on Kauai. As stated, Tim treated us with integrity. He steered us away from properties that would not have met our long-term needs. Tim's genuine concern for our best interest was demonstrated each of the multiple times (4 total) we made offers on Kauai houses. Tim spoke candidly to us re: the asking price of each of these houses and, given the need for obvious repairs, how realistic the asking price was. Tim wanted us to get good value for our money - not be saddled with a "money pit". Additionally, Tim did not pressure us to bid higher on highly competitive houses for sale. Rather, he informed us re: the degree of competition and encouraged us to make "our best effort," which would be in alignment with our interest and finances. Tim has an astute ability to visually inspect a home. For example, with the first house we looked at, Tim pointed out foundational cracks, leaking plumbing under the house, as well as other issues which could have been problematic and costly for us. Availability is key to any professional relationship, be that with one's realtor or one's doctor. It's nearly impossible for one professional to carry 100% of the required work effort. Tim realizes this and has built "Team Mira" with his bright and enthusiastic niece, Nagel. Tim and Nagel consistently worked collaboratively to contact us regarding homes new to the market and to immediately address our issues. Team Mira worked closely with our Seller's agent to finalize our home purchase expeditiously (45 days). Despite being in the most beautiful new home I can imagine - a property that truly reflects how I want to live my life - I felt a sense of loss when our purchase was complete. Tim's encouragement and support had become a meaningful, positive aspect of my life. Tim has since reassured me that vibrant living on Kauai (my goal) includes maintaining friendships and connections. Not only do I feel blessed with the "Right" house, but also extremely blessed to be living among people - like Tim - that so readily share the Aloha Spirit, truly helping me feel "at home"! Thank you, Tim Mira! Susan Weeks and John Mullen

Although we visited this side last year for our 10 year anniversary, we decided to stay here in the Villas for my sons 18th birthday. We love the condo that sits virtually on top of the ocean.

The condo was huge and furnished with everything you could want for your vacation, including coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. I don't cook on vacations, but do want to be able to make some snacks or toast a muffin for breakfast, as well as brew coffee and have a place for my wine and beer! The kitchen was very well equipped with all the tools you would need to cook a gourmet meal. Fortunately we only needed the coffee maker, blender and toaster! I have never slept in such a comfy bed on vacation. I was almost reluctant to drag myself away on our last day. There was ample closet space and since we had 1.5 bathrooms, I had plenty of room to spread out my stuff in "my" bathroom! There was plenty of parking, gorgeous tropical planting everywhere, and the pool, which we used a couple of times was sparkling and clean. Plenty of umbrellas and lounge chairs too, and also an outdoor shower. The resort also had several gas bbq's around if you wanted to grill. The only negatives is that the place didn't have a/c and it got a little warm in the living room, even with the doors/windows open and the ceiling fans on. And since we were watching a lot of TV (the Giants/A's were on) a larger, HDTV, would've been appreciated.
