This place was great and totally met our expectations and then some.

We were celebrating our honeymoon and wanted something nice and affordable right near the beach. This place looked just like the photos and was very clean and comfortable. They provide all kind of kitchen things you could possibly need which is great because we did a lot of cooking on our own. We enjoyed sitting out on our lanai in the morning for breakfast. It overlooks a park and the ocean and we had the most lovely tradewinds and sound of the ocean at night. The living room and bedroom were nice size and the bed was super comfy which is important to me as my back is always bothersome. The bathroom is a bit on the small side, with a shower and toilet in one room, sink in and dressing table in the other. It wasn't a big deal to us. It stayed nice and cool during the day.

We rented snorkel equipment right across the street and saw some of the best tropical fish that we saw on our visit. And every night everyone sits on the grass or the beach and watches sunset as a nightly event, so we'd blend up some homemade pina coladas and head down there with the chairs that were provided. The only thing that might have been a helpful beach item would be an umbrella for us pale folks. We ended up purchasing one and leaving it behind at our second destination, for some reason nobody rents this item.

The grounds are well kept and all the rooms overlook the pool and the koi pond. The neighbors were all quiet and friendly. In terms of food, there's a shopping center with several options nearby but you have to look for it, Kukui`ula Village, I think it's called. It's in walking distance with high end and casual restaurants, galleries, gifts, a specialty market, and even a farmer's market on certain days. Poipu beach and Koloa are nearby, too.

Overall, I would definitely return. And the owners were a joy to work with, very responsive, helpful, and professional.
