Henry's Final Take on Nihi Kai Villas
Nihi Kai Villas is one of those rare places that still feels like classic Kauai — not overbuilt, not overly flashy, but totally dialed in for a smart lifestyle investment. You're just steps from Poipu Beach, but the vibe here is quieter, more grounded. The grounds are expansive for a property this size — about six acres — and the layout between the eight buildings gives each unit breathing room you don't always find in Poipu.
Most of the units are 2-bedrooms, and they're spacious — built at a time when square footage wasn't squeezed. You've got a heated oceanview pool, tennis courts, and a BBQ pavilion, all nestled into lush, landscaped gardens. There's no elevator, and no pets, which helps keep the vibe peaceful and low-key. It's the kind of place that attracts return guests year after year.
From a rental strategy perspective, Nihi Kai is in the VDA and delivers consistent occupancy. You're close enough to walk to Brennecke's and Poipu Beach, but just tucked away enough to avoid the noise. With 70 units total, it has that right-sized community feel that investors and owners both appreciate.
If you're looking for a property that lets you tap into rental income, while also giving you a real sense of space and calm when you're here — Nihi Kai Villas is one to seriously consider.

Henry was excellent to work with, crisp and timely communicator, knowledgeable and kind. In the end, we decided not to pursue a purchase at this time, but rest assured, when the time comes, we will be calling Henry.
Henry was a pleasure to work with. He takes pride in what he does and truly cares about his clients. He's honest, dependable and dedicated, I give him 10 STARS but it only goes up to 5 stars.
Thanks Henry! Your help on my website was amazing, I took your advice and my VRBO site really popped open with lots of renters. I am so happy. Thank you so much. You're very helpful.
