This condo was a fabulous place to stay for our Kauai vacation. The vacation was a little different than many of our trips in that we spent the entire 10 days in the same place - and the condo was perfect. We have visited Kauai several times and would stay in the condo again.
Getting the (minor) imperfections out of the way first - there were no champagne glasses and there aren't many restaurants within walking distance. Neither of those should be considered complaints - there are restaurants a few minutes drive to the east, and more in Koloa, just a few more minutes driving away. There is also the Beach House right next door but we did not eat there. There were 2 beach towels supplied and it would have been handy to have a couple more - but there are laundry machines available in the complex, and the condo has a drying rack so we could hang wet stuff up each day.
There are so many positives - the location is incredible. The ocean can be heard all the time right outside the sliding door. Turtles visit the water below, and we saw them almost every time we looked. It is easy to get to other parts of Kauai from Poipu, and it was a perfect base of operations. The condo itself is very nice and very comfortable. We did not use the pullout bed. The bed in the bedroom is quite comfortable.
The condo is very well equipped - not only in terms of the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom (things like towels, dishes, utensils, etc.) but also for beach stuff. 2 beach chairs, and umbrella, a cooler, and plenty of other stuff we did not use. Also - don't miss the binoculars on one of the cabinet shelves - we didn't find those until the last day or so!
We were there in October - at that time of year at least it is a great place to be a morning person. If the blinds are left open overnight the morning sun comes right through the entire condo. We were relaxing but it felt good to get up, get going, and see what adventures the day had for us. Once the condo was out of the direct sunlight, opening the blinds, windows and the windows in the bedroom made for a lovely breeze. We never had to use the air conditioner.
We were able to move our checkout time later because we had a late flight out, and the flexibility was certainly appreciated.
We definitely will be back to Kauai, and no question would stay in this condo again.
