I viewed a lovely condo in Poipu the other day that was quite a find. Peaceful and Tranquil the grounds at Waikomo Stream are a welcome retreat after a long day of business or pleasure on Kauai.
Your own pool and tennis court at this Waikomo Stream condo in Poipu
The lovely complex is one of my favorite…non-oceanfront locations, and this particular unit was located in what is one of the most desirable locations within the complex.
Unit #131 (MLS# 218417) is in the only building on the entire property that looks inward to the magnificent grounds, where winding streams and gorgeous tropical flowers give you the feeling of a tropical Rain-forest. This great 2 bedroom 2 bath unit is completely furnished and offers 1,400 square feet of living space. It has been lovingly maintained and is in near perfect condition inside and out.

I recently was asked to help a client find a condo in Poipu that would allow them to bring their beloved pet with them and what I found was very limited. Being a pet owner myself, I never realized how few condos allow pets and how few of those are actually active listings.
Mahalo Ilona for finding me a Poipu condo!
We did find this stunning Kahala Unit (MLS# 222645) in the Poipu Kai area that was a real winner. It has been recently remodeled and is one of the true 2 bedroom units in this large and beautiful complex. It is a ground floor unit and features upscale cabinetry, granite counters, glass block shower and is beautifully furnished. Currently a vacation rental property, it is managed by Aston, one of the on-site management companies.
Price: $675,000 ($-24,000)

If you like contemporary, with a little Asian flair, you will love this beautiful condo I just toured at Waikomo Stream Villas.

Whatever your price range, there’s an REO for you.
Kauai’s REO inventory offers homes in multiple price ranges, although the majority of the bank-owned properties are in a more modest price range. When the banks foreclose, the banks have already done an appraisal and are pretty clear on the value of the home. REO listings are generally very well priced, and there’s not too much negotiation on them. In fact, a bank-owned Nihilani in Princeville listed for $418,900, almost $100,000 below the current market value of these modern townhomes, and no wonder there were four offers above asking price within a week.
