Lofty Island-Style Living - Cross-Breezes and Dazzling Ocean Panorama in Poipu

ALOHA, GUEST! Welcome home!
Embrace authentic island living, with excellent architectural cross-breezes to take advantage of Poipu's famous tradewinds, ceiling and floor fans to keep you perfectly comfortable year-round without artificial AC.
Enjoy the surf song without the mechanical compressor drone, soaring above the sea--perfect for the cooling cross-breezes inside and quiet gazing out from your individual lanai like the prow of a ship, hearing the waves, the patter of passing showers, the sounds of marine life and seabirds, and the rustling of palm trees.
Savor the expansive ocean views from every room, lie in bed and watch whales leap and spout in season, dolphins frolic and rainbows touching the sea, whitewater on the rocks and spectacular sunsets from your lanai, lush greenery and distinctive Hawaiian mountain peaks from your kitchen window and front door…
Mele Moana (Song of the Sea) is a lovingly kept, ample, beachy, retro-Hawaii-style (as accurately depicted in photos) one-bedroom unit. Sunset Kahili #406 offers all the amenities of a clean and comfortable home, fully equipped, including: a full-service kitchen; dishwasher, washer/dryer inside; basic toiletries, unlimited free Wi-Fi in unit; HDTV, DVD, CD and cassette players; music, movies, books, games and puzzles; coolers, beach towels, umbrellas, chairs and mats. Sleeping 4 is easy with a very comfortable king-bed and living room sofa that folds out to a genuinely comfy queen.
Yours is on the fourth floor of a five-story building (tallest on the island!) with an elevator and free dedicated onsite parking space, one of only 35 units that share a sparkling pool, lounge area, BBQ with picnic bench, and recreation room with library of books and puzzles.
Take a short stroll to world-famous Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach Park and family-suitable sheltered inlet for wading and snorkeling, or to hiking trails, Grand Hyatt, Shipwreck Beach and beyond. Kukui'ula Village, right in Poipu, offers the most exciting shopping and dining on the island.
You will find the central location ideal for trips up the west coast to Koke'e, Polihale and Waimea State Parks or Barking Sands Beach, or around the island to the Wailua River, North Shore, Princeville, and the spectacular Na Pali Coast--and all the beauty and fun in between!
You won’t find an oceanfront perch like Sunset Kahili at this price anywhere else on the island, and once you’ve stayed, the sea’s allure will bid you return as often as you are able to Mele Moana (Song of the Sea), your home away from home in Kauaian paradise!

As with so many others, we loved the place. It had all the things we needed for our two week stay and more. We loved listening to the sound of the waves 24/7, looking for whales, and watching the beautiful sunsets. With such close access to Poipu Beach! We walked there almost every day of our visit and enjoyed looking at the basking turtles and seals. We are looking forward to our next visit there!

I have stayed at this location before, in another condo, so I pretty much knew what to expect in the little town of Koloa and in Poipu. There are grocery stores, local produce stands, plenty of restaurants and almost everything you need in the kitchen is provided .The queen sized bed is very comfortable, plenty of beach towels and equipment, and having a washer/drier stack in the unit is very much appreciated. For me, the best part was the lanai/deck with the incredible views and the sound of the waves available at all times. If you are new to Kauai, don't expect air conditioning; breezes are available via the windows and the fans!

What an awesome place and the stay was perfect! Incredible location! What i loved most about this was the ability to head to the beach in a couple minutes, in either direction, and if you're a trail runner or just like to hike you are in a perfect spot. When we first arrived i was worried it was going to be to hot as there's no AC, but at night the breeze left it very nice and listening to the ocean with that breeze, babies don't sleep that good!

This condo had the perfect Lanai for enjoying coffee in the morning or our wine at night and watching the whales. It’s so close to coffee shops, restaurants and most importantly beaches. The property itself had everything we needed and more. The owner was so gracious and helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again for our next Kauai holiday.

Unit is a little dated, which is why I would give this property a 4/5 stars. However, all other aspects of our experience were first rate! Fantastic experience.

Hear the ocean waves 24/7

As advertised: gorgeous views, quiet complex, great pool, and quaint condo. I agree with a previous renter that some basic maintenance is in order. And I would also suggest more linens, both kitchen and bathroom: not enough there if a week or more stay. The price is hard to beat and we had a fabulous time. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Ellen.

The VRBO description of this property is good. The owner has intentionally not updated the place to the 2000's - It looks similar to how it probably looked when this vintage condo was built. If you want modern, be prepared to pay considerably more somewhere else. If you want wonderful ocean views, sleeping to the sound of waves at night instead of a droning air conditioner, and a perfect location for your Kauai holiday - this is it! The owner is very responsive should there be any problems. She has provided beach chairs, towels, ice chest, pool noodles, etc. - everything you could possibly need. And if you do any cooking or bring home leftovers, there are plenty of utensils and storage containers too.
