Fantastic location and comfortable condo!
We’ve stayed in Poipu a couple of times and this condo was fantastic for our family. We would definitely stay here again!
Patti Z. says
This place was a perfect location, had everything we needed, and the view is amazing.
It was very hot. I would stay here again if AC was added.
JP says
Aloha Patti, we are sorry the trades did not cool things off as usual. I am happy to say that we have many units at Nihi Kai with AC for your next trip. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Fantastic stay!
We loved our stay at Nihi Kai Villas. The condo was perfect for us, very well equipped, plenty of room. The beach is at the door and the view is spectacular. We can not say enough about our week’s visit and would definitely recommend this location if you are considering a visit to Kauai.
Susan J. says
The property and unit #831 were fantastic!
Unit 831 was comfortable and easy! From the check in process to the awesome view this was a great place to stay. The unit was a little warm, but easily solved with the fans provided. We were comfortable and found everything that we needed to enjoy our vacation. Unit 831 offers a beautiful view and clean, simple no frills comforts. There are a few things that perhaps could use an upgrade but they honestly did not get in the way or affect our total satisfaction.

Lovely grounds, condo was fine, with adequate appliances and all the important provisions. Nice and
Great location, great view from the lanai. No A/c, but we figured out how to keep it aired out.
Petra J. says
Fantastic
We had a wonderful stay at the Nihi Kai Villas. The property is well kept and very pretty. Our apt. on the 3rd floor with the great view was a place to relax and enjoy aloha. The location is just a few steps away from the beach and a very good restaurant. Would love to be back!

This condo has a beautiful view up on the hill looking out over the water
This condo is very dated and does not have that personal touch that we have experienced at other condos in Hawaii. The condo had the very basic utensils and absolutely no condiments whatsoever except a salt and pepper shaker. If you wanted to cook any meal or breakfast you would need to buy all of the basic essentials. We stayed up in a condo in Princeville for 2 days and it was completely stocked with even the simplest of your needs. There was plenty of room for our family as the boys 21,17 had a room of there own. The view was beautiful and I would give it a 5/5 but like I mentioned earlier this condo lacks any personal touch to it and be prepared to buy ALL of your condiments if you want to cook. I would probably not stay at this condo again .

Aloha Laura, Mahalo for taking the time to post your review. We take great lengths to photograph and describe all units. This unit is rated an “island casual” and we do state that “Although not recently updated, these unique properties provide value and comfort for your family, yet still meet Parrish Kauai’s minimum quality standards.”. We are sorry you were surprised as I do see you booked it directly online, so we assume you reviewed all this prior to booking. In terms of condiments, this is a conscious decision as we think it is more sanitary, healthier and safe not to have other people’s food items left in the units. Please know we are happy to supply any food items that you require as long as you give a note ahead of time. Again, we are sorry and hope you will reconsider when you travel to Kauai again. Mahalo.
Barbara F. says
Excellent view, high ceiling condo was wonderful!
It was VERY HOT – never seemed to cool off at night or in the morning. Fans helped but tough to sleep. Otherwise, it was a fabulous experience!
JP says
Aloha Barbara, Mahalo for taking the time to write a review. Kauai is a tropical environment and it does get warm at times (especially during the summer), but typically, most people find that opening the windows and doors and letting the trades blow through is enough to make things comfortable. We are sorry for any inconvenience and do want to let you know we do offer options with air conditioning for your next stay. In the end, we are glad you had a fabulous time and we look forward to hosting you again soon. A hui hou!

Nihi Kai 831: Stifling Heat, Dishonest Parrish Management
We have been visiting Kauai each year for almost 25 years. This year we chose Nihi Kai 831 to stay in. Although the decor looked dated in the photos, the view looked beautiful. Due to the construction of the building the temperature in the unit stayed consistently in between 96 and 100 F (36 – 38 C), while outside temperature never exceeded 86 F (30 C). There were no trade winds, just full sun keeping it hot all day. At night when you would expect the temperature to drop, there was no relief. Parrish, the management company, provided a couple of fans but that only blew the hot air around. After 11 days of trying to stick it out, we both felt ill from the unrelenting heat. When we contacted Parrish to resolve the matter, they offered to move us to another unit that was not better and wanted to charge us an additional $ 90 per night on top of the full amount we had already paid for more than 3 weeks. Parrish said nobody had complained before but I’ve since read several reviews stating how hot Nihi Kai 831 is. We’ve since moved and have lost our full amount paid. They never offered any refund or credit. Parrish was very unsympathetic and we would never book through them again. With all we learned the real problem is not with the particular unit. The problem is the Parrish communication on it. The unit should not be on the market for the first place. If it is – Parrish should clearly and transparently inform potential clients that they will be exposed to extreme temperatures, creating the health hazards due to overheating and dehydration. Should clients accept it – it is fine, but I would certainly go for something else. But there is no word about the hazards on Parrish internet offer, I was not informed about it during selection and booking process and not warned even after arrival. In other words – Parrish market communication is misleading and not honest. If you are still going to book through Parrish, please note that every place they partially manage, has also other management companies, perhaps smaller, but contrary to Parish friendly, working through weekends and long hours, offering more services and – what is most important – providing honest, transparent information and helping with the proper choice. Go to them to save your vacations.

Aloha Piotr We are very sorry you had an uncomfortable stay and chose to leave early rather than allow us to even have a conversation about alternative accommodations. Our listings follow, and in many ways exceed, the industry standard and feel the 15 additional reviews on 831 add different guest perspectives. We agree, there are periods when the trades are not blowing and it gets warm across the island. We cannot argue with that…especially during late summer/really fall when you visited. We did what was within our power to try to make you comfortable and we are sorry it was not enough. You asked to move via email and we sent you a few options and told you to call us to discuss further. Following up that day, we tried you several times on your cell and in the unit to no avail. You chose to end the discussion by checking out early and not giving us the opportunity to help further. I am sure had that call happened, we would have found something that would have worked to mutual benefit. We pride ourselves on being great hosts and are sorry we did not have the opportunity to do that here. Mahalo, Parrish Kauai

What a view
Enjoyed the roomy condo, high ceilings and amazing views. We made it a point to watch the gorgeous sunsets from the deck. The older condo is in a great location and an easy walk to the ocean. We were there the middle of Oct and wished the nights cooled off more. So the only change I’d like to see is the addition of AC which is why I have it 4 not 5 stars.
JP says
Mahalo Marilee for the review. We are glad you got to enjoy the great views from above Poipu…they really are great, especially this time of year. Right now there is limited capacity to add AC (now only one small unit in the bedroom) but it is something that we will certainly pass on to the owners and Board of Nihi Kai Villas. We look forward to hosting you again soon.

Great condo with beautiful view and great location!
We loved our stay at Nihi Kai #831! The condo was roomy, clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and was in a convenient location; close to beaches, activities, and restaurants. We loved our stay. Condo is great for a couple who wants lots of room and a great view, or plenty of space for a family as well! Things we loved: – The view is great! We watched Humpback whales breaching from the patio with binoculars! Breakfast and sunset and a snack on the patio were both fabulous. – Kitchen is well stocked with quality cookware and equipment. (Much better than many condos we’ve stayed in!) – Condo was roomy and was stocked everything we needed; towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella, coolers, washer/dryer, games, books…you name it! – Condo grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. – Ample parking – Close to good restaurants both in Poipu and Koloa and Big Save grocery in Koloa. – Close to lots of nice beaches for playing, relaxing, swimming, and snorkeling. We had our best luck snorkeling at Poipu beach within walking distance of the condo! You’re also close to beaches on the west coast and an hour from Waimea Canyon. Booking was easy and straightforward as well. No drawbacks really. We loved our stay and would stay here again!
