I love this condo complex because it sits on a special piece of land in very close proximity to all the beaches and other amenities that Poipu and Koloa have offer. In spite of that, the place has an old Hawaii charm to it, with a lush tropical garden in its courtyard containing some beautiful native species. Also in the courtyard is a well-designed, nicely sized new-ish swimming pool enhanced with a peaceful lava-rock waterfall on one end.
My studio is perfectly situated within the complex, located on the second floor towards the back of the property, yet it is convenient to the pool, manager's office, laundry room and parking structure, and away from any traffic.
Most of all, the unit has a great view of the ocean from the lanai and a peek from the edge of the bed. The unit also faces the expansive Prince Kuhio Park for maximum privacy and it enjoys cross ventilation most of the year and has beautiful sunrises and rainbows.
The vintage studio has a simple no-fuss, efficient floorplan which is easy to maintain and allows me to live a more carefree independent lifestyle.
