Poipu Kai

"My husband and I vacationed here with our two grown children. The condo was nice and roomy with the exception of a tiny 2nd bedroom. We had hoped we could return with another couple but it is not suitable for two couples. The master bedroom and bath are very spacious while the other bedroom is very small and it's bathroom is down the hall by the front door. The very well stocked toy cupboard was very much appreciated with umbrella, coolers, snorkels, beach chairs etc... The kitchen was well equipped with lots of spices and condiments, a nice change from some other properties we have rented in Poipu that don't even include salt and pepper! The lanai faces the setting sun and is very very hot in the late afternoon. There is an awning but it is locked and only for the owners. There was an umbrella stand so we used the beach umbrella for some shade, but it was a little crowded under the umbrella for four of us in the afternoon, sitting inside was not an option for us but the sun sets early so only a minor annoyance. Also, the pictures shown are a bit deceiving as they show the bedrooms being airy and full of light . However the windows face the parking lot so you must keep the blinds down all the time, not a huge problem but something to note. Also, the sprinklers go off every night and happen to spray the lanai but they only stay on for 10 minutes so it is a minor nuisance only. The pool was very close, lots of people use it but it is quiet in the evenings, just the usual noises associated with people on holidays and the happy laughter of children having fun. I would recommend this property, it is well located, close to the great beaches and walking paths. Chad the manger was great in replying quickly when I first inquired and the check in worked exactly as stated. For the money it is great value."
