The location is beautiful. The waves on Poipu beach are big but still swimmable and good for learning to surf and boogie boarding. We enjoyed the plantation grounds and the ocean view. We were a bit stunned by the additional cleaning fee tacked on to our total at check in, of more than 100 per day. The listing on VRBO said all fees included. The unit is nice but a few things could use some attention: door hinges breaking, old shower tiles, etc. Also, a few kitchen amenities like spices and oil would be nice. The pool was fun, though it got pretty crowded and loud. If you’re looking for an upbeat place with lots to do, tons of action and people watching, big waves, etc, this place is great. If you need something quieter and not a lot of walking (up stairs, to beach and pool etc), this wouldn’t be the best place. Seems like a good spot for family reunions, as we saw lots of families gathering on the lawn with spike ball, soccer, etc. Fun place and the scenery in Kauai is stunning!
