I'll keep it short and sweet! You absolutely can not go wrong staying here. View of the pool and ocean is breathtaking. There are turtles everywhere. Snorkel right outside your condo!!!!
My one and ONLY complaint...the master bedroom mattress...very uncomfortable. You can feel the springs. My kids said their mattresses were comfortable.

This place is awesome. From the moment you walk in the front door you are in paradise. The unit was spotless, and had all the amenities we could want. He kitchen is fully stocked with everything to cook with even some spices and ziplock, wraps, etc. All we had to purchase was the actual food. The grounds are immaculate. Plenty of safe parking and the end of the parking lot look at the turtles was the cherry on the top. We saw turtles every day. We had our 2 older teenage kids wiht us and had plenty of room. Easy walk to shopping area with shops and restaurants. We will for sure be back!

We stayed at this condo recently, June 10-15 with our family after being on the Big Island at a resort. It was nice to have a change to a condo on this island. The condo was extremely clean and the view when you enter is amazing. We also had a great experience with the personal concierge for Kauai Exclusive. Coco Maria did grocery shopping for us so that we had food at the condo when we arrived. She did such a wonderful job and had things organized so nice. We thank her very much. There were so many turtles to see in Turtle Cove which was fun and we also saw a large pod of dolphins feeding in the ocean as we looked off of the lanai one morning. The lanai had nice lounge chairs and a table and chairs for relaxing. The layout of the condo was perfect. The open living space/dining and kitchen were perfect and had dish-ware that was useful. The upstairs master bedroom and bathroom also had a fantastic view and the breeze was wonderful. The second bedroom and bathroom were also perfect for our family. We also were able to extend our stay one additional day which meant we could spend more time at this beautiful condo before a late flight return to the mainland. The pool and hot tub were convenient and Baby Beach was just a short walk away. There are also many restaurants close by with shopping. Running trails also close.

We have already recommended this condo to others planning on vacationing on Kauai. We thank you very much for the excellent property, service and management. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Kauai in the future.

Whalers Cove was a wonderful place to stay. Everyone was so helpful and the condo was absolutely gorgeous. There are plenty of places to eat and shop nearby. We enjoyed watching the breathtaking sunset a short drive from our condo.

Our experience at Whaler's Cove 231 was one of unbelievable Paradise.
Looked out each moment to this view. Sound of waves filled our days. Unbelievable sunrises and sunsets. Good people throughout the islands. My husband "complained" of being awakened by a rooster the first morning. Funny!
Could walk everywhere. Close beaches along Poipu coast, not far from Spouting Horn.
We did a helicopter trip with Jack Harter helicopters over Kauai and the Kanapali Coast which was wonderful. Lots of waterfalls. Our pilot gave wonderful descriptions.
Did not get to snorkel because of unusually high waves throughout our trip due to El Niño effect. That was only disappointment.
Kauai is gorgeous and so accessible. Went to Waimea Canyon and all of the overlooks. Don't miss the last one, the Puu o Kila Lookout, at the top. Went up the East coast to and Hanalei Bay and the wet and dry caves and one lane bridges.
Birds, flowers and roosters and family made for more excitement and beauty.
At end of parking lot at Whalers Cove, we got to see sea turtles each day swim in and sun themselves on the rocks.
Favorite part was waking up each morning and having my Hawaii coffee on deck. I even got up at 3 a.m. one morning and had to take pictures of the sky filled with stars.
Shopping available in Koloa and really everywhere but never seemed commercial on Kauai.
Our 231 condo was very, very nice and had all needs available. Well stocked w cooking things and even made available a few items like salt and pepper and cooking spray, etc.
First night could not get internet to work so I talked with owner who knew what to do. Good reception throughout our time there.
This is a place of utter peace and beauty!

We just returned from a lovely stay in Unit 231 of Whalers Cove. The unit is beautiful, comfortable and updated. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The view is unbeatable. The location is just fantastic. The grounds are very well maintained. Our experience from beginning to end could not have been better -

Beautiful condo located on the sunny side of Kauai. Well decorated, beautiful views and amenities. We spent the second half of our vacation in Princeville and ended up driving to the sunny side most of the time. Several restaurants and shopping center is located within walking distance. Great sunsets right from the lawn area. Very swimmable beach by the Sheraton is within walking distance as well. We had a great family vacation and would definitely come back. We were having such great time that we even messed up with when we needed to move to Princeville. Property managers were very accommodating and took care of us. Special note to the owners: Mahalo for sharing your beautiful home and piece of paradise with us. Aloha

231 Whaler's Cove was everything we needed, and added a few extra surprises as well! We had never been to Kauai before, but had heard from a few friends that Poipu is a great location. Having been, we now understand why. From Poipu, you can get anywhere on the island in an 1 1/2 hours. We were all over the island (Napali coast, Wailua river, Lihue, Waimea, and more), travelling everywhere with ease with the minor exception of late afternoon traffic returning from the north shore that could slow the trip a bit. The location within Poipu was excellent. We didn't realize how close Kukui'ula Village Shopping Center was to the condo. It offers numerous shopping, eating, and other establishments (over 20? stores) within *easy* walking distance. Further, you can snorkel right off the back of the condo parking lot - and it rivalled all of the other snorkeling locations on the island! You can also walk to Baby Beach if you simply want to lie in the sun... it's only a block away. As for the amenities, A/C for the 2 bedrooms was very nice in July, the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. The view from the deck in the picture is the real deal... simply breathtaking. The beds were extremely comfortable. The downstairs was spacious and the deck as well. And we only really needed to work with management once, when the A/C unit misbehaved. They responded the same day and fixed it. Finally, about 1 month before check in, I received an email from a woman who helped us plan our daily adventures. While we knew what we wanted to do, she helped "tune" our plans and made a few reservations for us in advance to guarantee availability. Both trips (Captain Andy's Zodiac tour, and the Waimea River kayak trip) were exceptional. In summary, we were simply overjoyed with our stay and highly recommend Whaler's Cove!

We had absolute incredible 7 day holiday to Kauai thanks to a beautifully appointed condo (with A/C- helpful in the 90F) and the booking and arranging talents of Sonja Keala.

The location of the condo was perfect- not too far away from Poipu Beach, but tranquil and away from any tourism.

Sonja effortlessly planned our activities and had the appropriate rental equipment to us without any problems. It really felt as if we were royalty!

Thanks again for helping us achieve a wonderful family vacation celebration with so many memories.

This was the most gorgeous accommodation from the view which is exactly as the pictures indicate and the villa. The decor was elegant and tasteful yet comfortable. The kitchen was super well stocked and the view while cooking breathtaking. The location was close to two outdoor 'malls' with amenities and close to gorgeous beaches. As well the drive to the airport was only 30 minutes. We hope to come back next year. I HIGHLY recommend this accommodation.

We stayed at Whalers Cove Condo 231 for four nights. The condo was 2 bed 2 bathroom ocean view. It was exactly as described and very tastefully decorated. The unit had lots of little added extras which helped us as we are an overseas couple. The owner had provided beach towels, beach chairs and bogey boards. Additional items were also left in the pantry and fridge. We would recommend this unit and Kauai Exclusive Management.

We wanted an ocean front location and the kids wanted AC.... The property was clean and ready when we showed up. A minor issue with the laundry that was taken care of right away and with full communication from mgmt. Overall we had a great time and enjoyable stay

Great place to stay! Lovely location, with beautiful views, comfortable living arrangements, spotless pool, and great access to beaches and restaurants. Very much appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms! Went snorkeling and scuba diving several times in the bay just next to the property.
