Excellent location, Decent property

We stayed at the condo for a week and it was generally a very good experience. The location is excellent, the unit itself is decent, but can do with better maintenance as it shows some ware and tear and the mobile AC units are shabbily installed. All in all a good experience.

Good location-Club access was great

The location and club access are the best parts of this property! We had some issues with the A/C several times but the property manager was quick to respond both times. The location is great and close to everything. The club was great for our kids that like to workout and for the family to play pickleball. Other than that, I would say it was clean and good enough for what we were looking for.

Great property manager had a poor experience

I won't go in to all the details but we had an issue with the heat in the place. Lowest we got it was 81 which isn't sleepable in. The owners were great to work with so I will give them props there. I'm guessing most don't have this experience which is why it's such a highly rated place. Great location too.

Great location and property

The condo was beautifully decorated and easy walking distance to the beach. The location was great. The condo is updated in terms of appliances, furniture, and the beds were comfortable. It was nice having a washer and dryer in the unit as well as beach gear. Some minor feedback for improvement would be the carpet. It could use a good cleaning as this is the first thing you’ll notice when you walk in. The upstairs master did not have black out blinds, so you'll get some headlights lighting up the room at night. Was weird the first night, but you get used to it. Beside these two minor things, this place is wonderful. The communication before and during the trip was fantastic. Would for sure stay here again.

Poipu Ka stay

Great location

Easy walking to two beaches. Property could use a good carpet shampooing and some screen/window fixing. We still enjoyed our stay and it was overall clean. It’s just not as spotless as we had hoped, given that nobody is supposed to wear shoes inside which is pretty normal for Hawai’i. We had a few small issues with the windows and screens and the property manager responded very quickly and did everything to fix it. We would stay there again.

The view is amazing and we would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Poipu!

Great location and condo

My family and I were very pleased with the stay. The property is located near most things to do on the south side. There was a lot of attention to details with things like supplying actual (Costco brand) shampoo/conditioner/body wash. Some cooking supplies such as (nonexpired) olive oil/balsamic vinaigrette and other spices made simple meals easy to prepare. As a family with kids it was very nice having 2 separate bathrooms and 2 separate bedrooms for privacy. Another location in Princeville that we are still currently at (paying more for) does not have any of these amenities and is not in nearly as good of overall condition. We highly recommend this location for your stay.

Great location

The location was great -- a pretty walk through the resort to the Poipu beach. It was also a central location when driving to Waimea canyon or up to the North shore. The condo was comfortable with updated bathrooms and a well-stocked kitchen. We went with teens, but would be ideal for a family with littles, as well.

Great 2 level condo unit with AC units in both bedrooms and a great flow of air on the main floor with a ceiling fan. We really enjoyed our stay. The unit has great amenities in the kitchen and also plenty of beach equipment. Totally saved us time and money without needing to rent those things. The pool just outside the units entry staircase was very nice and it felt like our own private oasis. You also can access the association pool area which is a bigger pool with also a hot tub. The homeowner also gives you access to the Poipu beach athletic club which was totally awesome. Like a country club. Totally awesome place to stay
