We had a crew of 21 staying in various places in Poipu. Our house became home base, with folks coming and going as they needed. The location is amazing. Everyone had their own condos, but our place was in walking distance from all of them. Our teens could boogie board as they wanted and then come back for the pool/hot tub. Our early risers often took coffee to Brennecke's Beach or walked down to Shipwreck Beach to watch the sun rise. We hosted numerous potluck dinners at our place and there was plenty of space for folks to sit and eat. The grill and picnic table out back were perfect.
There have been some updates since the photos were taken- the lanai and the back deck furniture. The bedrooms are kinda small and the carpet definitely needs to go (bring indoor flip flops), but we honestly didn't spend much time in the bedrooms. Our daughters took turns on the pull out couch and the side bedroom. Neither complained about the comfort of the pull out, so that's always a plus. Beds were comfortable and the house had a ton of throw blankets around for naps or just snuggling up. The living room/dining room combo was comfortable and spacious. We spent a lot of time on the lanai and side deck. The backyard pool, fire pit and hot tub were a gathering place as well. The hot tub had a timer, which I had never experienced. We just got in the habit of sending an advanced party to push the button and within one cycle the water would be hot again.
The house has 2 AC units which work fabulously for those areas, but the cool air didn't reach the back 2 bedrooms. It was warm going to bed, but usually cooled off in the middle of the night. And we preferred the open windows to AC, so we never tried running the units all day to see if that helped the back bedrooms. The host was very responsive.
