Unfortunately my stay at Parrish was underwhelming. There was nothing that particularly wrong, it was just a very meh place, especially for the cost. Had the nightly stay been a lower price, I would’ve given this another star, but I still wouldn’t stay here again. The cost is comparable with the other “close to the beach”spots in Poipu but I felt like I just chose the wrong place. The layout is very weird with the 2 bedrooms downstairs as well as the 2 bathrooms. 1 bedroom is decent sized the other is small. The doors have slits in them, so no privacy as you can hear the other bedroom and visa versa. The upstairs just doesn’t feel comfortable, nothing felt inviting about it for me. The balcony that faces the beach has another unit in front of it that blocks any decent views. The unit has 3 bedrooms but only 2 beach chairs. They will give you a referral to rent a 3rd beach chair, which is just disappointing. Overall for the price, just not worth it.

Thank you, Kosta for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your stay did not fully meet your expectations.

It sounds like the home’s décor and overall value did not align with what you were hoping for. Our listing aims to provide an accurate representation of the home, including detailed photos and descriptions that highlight key features such as the garden view, bedroom layout, and louver doors, which are a common design element in Hawaii. We encourage all guests to review these details before booking to ensure the home suits their needs.

That said, we appreciate your input and will take your suggestion about adding more beach chairs into consideration. We hope to have the opportunity to better meet your expectations in the future and assist you in selecting an accommodation that is the perfect fit for your stay.

Great Place and Location!

by Michelle C.

This place was in the perfect spot! Walkable to beaches and restaurants, beautiful views, and in a quaint area that isn’t too crowded. The place was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Would stay again!

Beautiful location - amazing apartment

by Jan S.

We stayed 7 nights with our 3 year old son and 7 months old daughter. We had an amazing time. The apartment was beautiful, well equipped and calm. There was a highchair for the baby and two step stools for the toddler. The pool was great and it is a 10 mins walk to the beach. Kaua’i is such a beautiful island. Thanks for having us, we had an amazing time and would definitely come back!!

Mahalo Jan for your review. We're glad to hear that you and your family had an amazing time during your stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to Kauai in the future. Aloha.

Wonderful stay in Koloa within 5 minute walk to Poipu Beach! The Parrish team was very responsive and the maintenance team took care of our concerns very quickly! The condo was well stocked with all of the kitchen necessities and the space was super comfortable! We would love to come again if we return to Kauai!!

Mahalo Romtom for your five-star review and comments. Glad the our team was able to help out during your visit and that you found everything you needed to feel right at home. We are already hoping to host you again soon.

We loved the Nihi Kai grounds, the pool, the easy parking and the lovely lawn and gardens that our children could explore. We appreciated that we knew how to reach and find the staff but they weren’t overbearing at all, very subtle and professional. We would love to come back!

Mahalo Whitney for your five-star review and comments. We are glad that you enjoyed the unit and grounds at Nihi Kai. Glad to hear that our team was able to assist when you needed us. We hope to host you again soon.

Our family of four had a great stay! The condo was very clean and comfortable. We loved being able to walk to the kid friendly beaches, and watch the sunsets at night. Parking was convenient and provided easy access to the unit. AC and washer/dryer in-unit were great and priorities for us. Highly recommend! We will be back.

Mahalo Mallory for your five-star review. We appreciate your recommendation and thoughtful comments. Glad to hear that your ohana had a wonderful stay. We are already looking forward to hosting you again. Aloha.

Perfect Spot!

by Kara A.

Our family stayed here for 3 nights. It was the perfect location for us. We loved being just a short walk to a great little beach and having a pool onsite. The two bedrooms and bathrooms were ideal for our family of four and the washer/dryer on site was great for allowing us to pack light. The unit was super clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable. The staff was friendly and responded to inquiries immediately. Everything exceeded our expectations.

Mahalo Kara for your five-star review. We appreciate your comment and we're so happy to how much you enjoyed the location of your unit. We are already looking forward to hosting you again. Aloha.

The place was wonderful. It was clean and convenient. Our stay was quiet and the surroundings were peaceful. We rented a car and it was a great starting place to get everywhere on the island. We were also close to the beach and appreciated the beach gear provided. We would definitely stay there again!

Amazing Kauai Trip

by Thomas A.

The location was perfect and the condo was just as good. The overall layout and cleanliness made it hard to leave.

Awesome place, close to poipu beach, had all the amenities and beach gear as well.

There was a weird smell from the AC, not sure why but that was the only con.

Amazing location in Poipu!

by Chantelle C.

Our family loved our stay. The property is just steps from the ocean and walking distance to two beaches. The kitchen was perfectly stocked. My favorite part was having morning coffee on the main lanei off the living room with a beautiful view. We used the pool a couple of times and was great for our family. The hot tub is more of a small kiddie pool which was great. No need for a HOT tub in Poipu with the heat.

Mahalo Chantelle for your five-star review and comments. We are so happy that your family loved their time at Nihi Kai #505. We hope to host your ohana again soon.

Good location

by Ray R.

Very nice condo, clean, and great location. Only minor negative is that both bathrooms are in lower level along with the bedrooms. Other disappointment was that the condo project did not have access to the local fitness center as was noted in some information we had prior to our visit.

Paradise in Poipu

by Neil S.

We traveled as 2 couples to enjoy this delightful 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Poipu, close to the beach with gorgeous views. Property had great amenities and was quiet and comfortable. There were plenty of food options in the area. Location allowed easy touring all over the island.

Great location and everything we needed!

by Alicia C.

Perfect space for our family of 4. Beds were comfortable, we had everything we needed in the kitchen, they provided beach chairs, beach towels, a small cooler and there was even a boogie board, although we didn’t use it. They are very thoughtful about making sure guests have what they need. Laundry soap (washer and dryer were nice to have!), grocery bags so we didn’t have the buy them, an ice maker in the freezer.. it’s the little things that made the vacation so much easier. Having AC was a must! We went during a muggy time due to rain and can’t imagine what it would have been like without air conditioning. Parking is easy and the property is beautifully landscaped with nice walking paths. A 2 min walk and you are ocean front with a great spot to see sea turtles! It’s about a 7 min walk to Poipu beach. We had an unexpected partial ocean view from the top floor balcony which was also great! We had a few small issues during our stay but the property manager was quick to respond and take care of things. This is a great home base for your trip to Kauai!

Mahalo Alicia for your five-star review. It is great to hear that your whole ohana enjoyed the unit and felt comfortable throughout your stay. We are so happy that you appreciated all the little details. and unit supplies. We are already looking forward to hosting you again. A hui hou.

Great balcony & within walking distance of many things

by Allison G.

Our favorite part of the property was the large scenic balcony right off the living room. It was also great to be within walking distance of so many fun activities and Poipu Baby Beach. Would stay again.

Great location and condo complex. We loved being within walking distance of Poipu beach, the pool and bbq area. The unit was clean and comfortable and nicely decorated.

by Justine, San Jose, CA

Great location in Poipu, steps away from the beach, turtles, and beach restaurant. It was definitely the drier side of the island (mid December) so we were happy to drive north east to gorgeous silky sand beaches and north west to incredible hikes. The listing was large, clean, and had beach gear for us to enjoy. Would def come back!

Mahalo Justine for your five-star review and comments.  We are so happy that you enjoyed your time at Nihi Kai #505. It is nice that you found the unit comfortable and well-stocked.  We look forward to hosting your next stay.  Aloha!

One of the best VRBOs I’ve stayed in!

by Dorothy L.

This place was beautiful - photos do not do it justice nor do they showcase how large the unit is! The bedrooms are downstairs and the living space upstairs was plenty for our group of 4. Wifi was good, the view was beautiful and kitchen was well stocked. Check in was smooth, communication was great from booking to check out, and everything was so comfortable and clean. we didn’t even hear the construction happening - highly recommend staying here!

Mahalo Dorothy for the 5-star review and comments and recommendation.  Much appreciated and we look forward to hosting you again soon.  A hui hou.

4th of July Spectacular

by la m.

Came from Oahu for a weekend getaway. Our stay was one to remember. The villa was spacious, clean, well equipped, and everything was in working order. We made use of the swimming pool, tennis courts and even had a 4th of July BBQ at the Pavillion. We were right across the beach and just a short drive away from shops and restaurants. We definitely would stay here again. Mahalo!!

by Nolan, Janesville, WI
Worth every penny.Usually I save some money on where I stay but I’m so happy with my stay. Short 30 second walk to the beach with wonderful restaurants barely a walk away. If I come back I will absolutely stay here again. AC in every room in case you get to hot. A grill right outside. Plenty of space to park.
Mahalo Nolan for your 5-star review and comments. It is great to hear how much you enjoyed the unit and your time on Kauai. We are glad you got to enjoy the AC and the amenities at Nihi Kai. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Aloha!

Fabulous condo near beach

by Tim S.
We loved staying in this condo with our family of six. It was beautifully clean upon arrival and met our every need. We loved the fact that it is within easy walking distance of Poipu Park and beach. The grounds are lovely and the pool just perfect for a post-ocean dip. We’d return to this unit again when next visiting Kauai. We absolutely loved it. Thankyou!
Mahalo Tim for the 5-star review and comments. You are very welcome and we love all the love. Look forward to seeing you again on Kauai. Aloha and a hui hou.

Great Stay

by Amy H.
We really loved this unit and had a great week with the in-laws! The beaches are really close with lots of ocean life and great waves. The restaurants and shopping are really convenient (in case you lose a pair of sunglasses). The unit is very spacious and comfortable! We all really enjoyed the huge bathrooms! But the kitchen could use a restock as it seems every knife was broken ???? But highly recommend a stay here if you are going to Kaua’i.
January 1, 2019

Nice place

by Marissa B.
We would stay here again. Amenities were great, updated everything and very close to two beaches! Property is not far from the airport and there is plenty of shopping and food available close by. There is no air conditioning but this does not seem to be uncommon on the island? There were many fans available throughout the house. Beach chairs and sun umbrellas with some other beach things were available on the lanai which was extremely helpful. Tile throughout made sand cleanup fairly easy. I would recommend trimming back some of the foliage that is occluding the ocean view from the back lanai. Property was very helpful in requesting a later checkout time. Overall a nice stay for a family of 5.

A great place to stay in Poipu

by Sue C.
This is a perfect location to have ease of access to the beach, several restaurants within easy walking distance (about a mile) and easy access by car to many other sites. Despite it’s ease of access, it is very quiet (except for the roosters). I would recommend earplugs for light sleepers. The unit was laid out well for privacy in the sleeping area, and good space for socializing in the living room and kitchen. We would stay here again if travelling to the area.

Handy to Brenneckes beach

by Julia B.
We stayed here with our 3 teenagers. There was a queen bed in one room and 2 singles in the other. Nothing made up for my daughter but they had 2 fold out single mattresses and some extra bedding in the cupboards. Good kitchen amenities. No air con but lots of fans. Wifi and television channels got the teen approval. We used the pool area several times but the beaches a very short walk along the road. We walked along the beachfront and found a great spot for sunset watching.
Aloha Julia, Mahalo for your review and comments. Our apologizes the bedding was not made up for you in advance, however I see no request was made during the reservation process. Next time, please do note it when you book online or email us in advance and we can certainly make things ready for you and your guests.

Great condo! Best location! Nice remodel. Only downside was no A/C & it was very hot at night.

by Casey G.
Great remodeled unit! Perfect size for our family of 4! Perfect beaches, best honu viewing & just enough places to walk to for meals & snacks! We love Poipu, have been 5 times now. First time in a condo & it was the best stay yet! Loved having laundry in the home, stocked kitchen & some beach chairs and umbrellas! The only thing we found uncomfortable was the hurricane weather. We were there during the actual “hurricane Lane”. So it was up to 88 by day & only down to 79 by night. 80% plus humidity. Not having A/C in the condo made the nights miserable for sleeping. Other than that we loved our little home for 9 nights!! We ended up leaving a day early. The owner understandably had us bring all of the outdoor furniture & beach supplies into the home in preparation for the storm. This made it a little cramped and so we decided to get a hotel room for the final night.
Mahalo Casey for the 5-star review and comments. Also, thanks for your help on prepping for Hurricane Lane. Best to be prepared. On the AC, please note I am happy to announce many of the Nihi Kai owners have or are putting in AC, so next time we have you covered. Aloha and a hui hou.

Wonderful vacation!!

by Michael C.
Great two bedroom unit to stay at. Short walking distance to pool and beach. Unit had a great kitchen, large fridge, nice beds, plenty of fans as there is no a/c. It also had beach chairs and snorkel gear for use. Could not say enugh about this property. I would much rather stay here than at a resort.

Beautiful accommodations! Inside and out!

by Kim S.
We loved this unit at Nihi Kai. #505. Beautiful wood furnishings, lovely curated artwork, fantastic kitchen and clean bedrooms and bathrooms. I appreciated there were absolutely no bugs anywhere. That is tough to pull off in Hawaii but they succeed here at Nihi Kai. It’s location is wonderful because I like being in a neighborhood rather than in a large hotel setting. Walking distance to the beach and their pool was just “da best!” Mahalo Nui for a memorable stay on Kauai. We will be back.

Incredibly well stocked, gorgeous setting

by Laurie B.
This place met our every need. Cards for when the rain came, chairs, umbrellas and coolers for the beach. The location was great, we loved being just minutes on foot from the beach! The furnishings and finishes were beautiful and the view did not disappoint. We would absolutely come back to this specific spot.

Beautiful property and lovely condo in Poipu.

by Alita R.
We stayed in this lovely 2 bedroom condo with our two adult sons for two weeks. Very spacious and well equipped with toiletries and towels and beach chairs, umbrellas. All in good condition. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The staff are courteous and eager to please. The beach is a five minute stroll. Pool is nice but not here for the pool with a beautiful beach so close. BBQ’s were clean and maintained but only two so could get backed up. We just cooked earlier in the day. Overall I would rate this the best condo we have stayed in Poipu and have been coming for 15 years. Price is reasonable as well for a view property. Will return for sure.
Aloha Alita. Thank you for the 5-star review and comments. We could not ask for an better endorsement. Mahalo and we look forward to hosting you again.

It was a perfect location and nice condo. I would highly recommend!

by Jennifer , (CA)
???? Great location. Beautiful grounds. Kitchen was well stocked and had pretty much everything we needed. There were beach chairs, toys and some snorkel gear for our use. Pool area was great with nice lounge chairs. The beds were very comfy. 4 separate lanai areas which we enjoyed. We were able to pay a little extra to keep the condo until 6pm on our departure date as our flight was not until 10:30 pm that evening. I would stay again! ???? The screen doors could use a repair. They kept coming off the tracks. The pool bathrooms were a bit smelly. The office was difficult to find when we arrived in the dark. Parking spots were small but that was common all over the island.

Nice, updated condo. No AC but extra fans in closet helped. Great location. Spa not heated at pool, but really not a problem since it was so warm outside anyway.

Relaxing & Restorative

by Elizabeth C.
The property is beautifully maintained and right next to the beach in Poipu! The location suited my family perfectly as we spent most of our time on the beach snorkeling, frolicking, and lying around. It would have been nice for my mother (she’s almost 70) to have had a bathroom upstairs, but we managed. She was eyeing the units in the front of the property because they were ground level and one story. Nice kitchen and bathrooms in our unit, with 2 lanais. We will return!

Beautiful Poi Pu Condo

by Jacque C.
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo in the Poi Pu beach area. Everything has been updated and is beautiful, including the patio and view. Be aware though that when description states there are 2 Futons, they mean 2 foam mats for the floor. We needed a 5th bed, so my 19yo, 5’11” son slept on the couch- he said it was very comfortable.

Perfect place to stay in Poipu

by Harry G
We stayed at the Nihi Kai villas in January 2014. We were there for a week. We felt right at home. The place has pretty much everything you need, including 4 separate balconies. The furniture etc is a little dated but didn’t impact our stay. It’s a 5 minute walk from the beach. Grounds are lush and a joy to walk through. Poipu area is wonderful, laid back and low key. Highly recommend the area and the villas!

Great!

by AB
We stayed here with our daughter and her husband so it was nice to have some room separation and privacy. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the BBQ area convienient. The dishwasher failed but was replace the next day! All the comforts of home and then some in a lovely spot within walking distance of great snorkling, sunsets and surf. Will definitely try to come again!

100% Wonderful

by Idaho
We spent a 100% relaxing, enjoyable and wonderful vacation week on Kauai. This seemed like the shortest week ever. We stayed in the Nihi Kai Villas Unit 505, Poipu, HI. The property and unit was exactly as advertised. The staff was wonderful. The extras were great; pool, tennis courts, BBQ area, parking, etc. The yards and gardens were immaculate, always cared for daily, basically not a leaf out of place. The Unit was well maintained, had everything we needed, including beach items. Poipu as well as all of Kauai, is an extremely friendly place. This is our second time to vacation in the Poipu area, which has everything we were looking for in a vacation. Easy access by car to all site seeing areas on Kauai, from the top of the island to the Western edge. Of all the Hawaiian Islands, I believe Kauai is the most restful, quiet, and laid back of all the islands. The “ONLY” issue was one week wasn’t enough. We will be back for a third vacation and also for our second stay with Parrish Properties. A+, number 1, Recommended.

Unit505 is wonderful room. A good location for enjoy beach. Dishwasher and toaster did not work.

Perfect for family with young children!

by Anonymous
This was perfect for our family, we stayed here with a 20 month old, a 11 week old, mom, dad and Grandma. It was a relatively easy walk to the baby beach, (on the beach is nice but much more expensive) nice grass area right outside the unit for our toddler to play, the place was nice, and clean but not so fancy that we worried about our toddler messing it up. We ate all our meals out on the balcony. Our toddler loved the boogie board and kick board left in the closet along with a few other beach toys – he liked the tiki kick board so much he insisted on hiking with it at the top of Waimea Canyon! A bit of advice – don’t lug your baggage up the exterior stairs as there is a sliding glass door at ground level right into one of the bedrooms once you are in the unit.

Perfect for Families

by Anonymous
We had a wonderful week at Nihi Kai Villas, Poipu. The accomodation was clean, comfortable and spacious. Standing on our balcony,we had unexpected ocean glimpses that allowed us to see whales swimming by. What a treat! Beautifiul daily rainbows and gentle ocean breezes added to our delight. Our two little boys loved the pool and being able to walk to the beach was fantastic. The extra boogie boards were very handy. It was peaceful and relaxing. The bird life was heavenly to listen to. The gardens were immaculately maintained by the friendliest gardeners on Earth. If I could afford to stay there forever I would!!! Best place I have ever travelled too. Will definitely be returning to Nihi Kai.
