The condo was great for what we were wanting on our family vacation. I'll start by listing who we are and what we were looking for. Family of 4, two boys, 6 & 10. We're an active family that plays a lot of tennis, and wanted a place that could serve as a launching point for jumping around the island, with enough nearby stuff to do if we wanted to just chill for a day or two.
The view from the deck was amazing and beautiful. The condo itself was just what we wanted. It could probably use some updating, but we were neither looking for, nor expecting, luxurious accommodations. The master bedroom had a kingsize bed, and plenty of room in drawers and closets. The boys slept on the pullout couch. It was what you'd expect from a pullout. The kitchen had everything we needed, both with appliances and with utensils. The chilled wine in the fridge upon arrival was a nice touch.
Poipu Beach is easily walkable, and was great! The snorkeling was better than I expected. The pools that are on property are not amazing, but nice to have available. If you're wanting to spend any time at a pool, I recommend taking advantage of the one at the Poipu Beach Athletic Club that you will have access to included in your stay. They have a nice pool with a slide and waterfall feature, and a hot tub. There is also a bar and restaurant there. We used the workout facilities there most every morning, which was nice to have available. They had free tennis there, but we play enough to where it was worth it for us get a month membership to the club that has the courts just off the deck. The sports bar/restaurant on the property was pretty cool, I wish we had hit that earlier in our trip.
I had never stayed elsewhere on the island, but I can say I was pleased with the location too. It was easy enough to get to the stuff on the north side of the island (~1 hour), and less time heading west. Do NOT miss Waimea Canyon. Stunning. Pop out at Red Dirt Falls on your way up, that was pretty cool. We were here in March. We initially were looking at staying on the north side, but in looking at weather, it appeared better on the south, and that held true.
We had a great trip, and were very happy with where we stayed. Thanks!
