Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would come back. Appreciated AC in the bedrooms that helped us sleep, but it was so pleasant to let the breeze blow through the living area during the day. The lanai/balcony is sheltered from the trade winds so we could sit outside at all hours even during the brief rains. Thankful that the hosts provided snorkels, chairs, cooler, Brita filter pitcher, well-equipped kitchen - we hate the eco-waste of having to buy a bunch of stuff at the start of a vacay then leave it behind. We walked to local beaches drove to east north shores. Parking right in front of condo. If you're planning to cook to save money, recommend planning meals ahead of time buying groceries in Lihue - the local markets are either very expensive or not well stocked. Also recommend eating out in Old Town Koloa and and locally run places instead of the nearby mall or hotels - food just as good and not as overpriced. Snorkeling at Poipu was kind of a bust due to the crowds (in July) - we had better results at Anini Beach on the north shore.
