Pu’u Poa Condo
Pu’u Poa is a luxury condominium complex consisting of 56 2BR units, a tennis court and swimming pool. It has a modern “art deco” design and is located on a bluff area next to the St. Regis Hotel. The site of the hotel was known as Pu’u Poa or Pu’u Pa’oa– Pu’u meaning mountain and Pa’oa meaning the staff of the Fire Goddess, Pele who when searching for a new home would strike her staff into the earth to create a new crater. Directly below the hotel are remnants of an ancient Hawaiian fishpond built in prehistoric time. Known as Kamo’omaika’i it was one of the few kuapa (ocean wall) type fishponds on Kaua’i. Directly below Pu’u Poa Condos is Hideaways Beach ……….excellent for surfing in the winter months and swimming/snorkeling in the summer months. Pu’u Poa is ideal for living full time or as a second home which can be vacation-rented when the owner isn’t visiting.
WOW! Out of the seven listings, three are contingent (in escrow). I believe the market is finally on the upswing. Now’s the time to buy!
