Poipu Sands on Kauai's South Shore

Poipu Sands is one of Kauai's most popular South Shore condo projects.  It's located off Pe'e Road which begins at Poipu Road and continues on to pass by the ocean shoreline and world-famous Poipu Beach.  Poipu Sands is a member of Poipu Kai Resort so that it has access to those facilities (pool & tennis courts) as well as its own.  A short paved pathway leads from Poipu Sands directly to Shipwreck Beach.  Poipu Sands has 72 units in 6 low rise buildings only 3 stories tall.  Information on the Poipu Kai Resort itself is found HERE.  A short video of the area is found HERE.

Prices in Poipu Sands have historically been near the top of the Poipu condominium projects.  Like others, prices have declined to levels last seen in the 2004-2005 time period as shown in the chart below.  Back in that earlier period, one often needed an inside track with advance notice when a unit was coming on the market or risk being left out.  Today is a much improved market for buyers with 8 units on the market, a median sales price of $744,450, and an average days on market of 9.5 months.
