    This is a standalone pod/ home. It has been recently renovated with nice amenities. A example- The main bed has a the ability to raise the head area. Kitchen and bathroom redone, but doors are original etc. the unit is a very nice clean space with separate ac units in bedrooms and main space! Kitchen is very well stocked! Picture of view in ad looks fake— but it is not! That is the view of the ocean. Beach is easily walkable. Surrounding is very safe. Lots of beach items you can borrow from complex. Parking is assigned and easy. shared laundry in under the unit. This is not a resort as they state in the ad, but you can’t beat the price for the location. Who needs a pool when you have a beach with turtles! Would stay here again. Please note this is on the sunny side of the island.

    Good communication from host both prior to and during the stay. Nice property. Some expected starter staples were missing such as sugar and salt. Great location a few minutes walk from beach. We would definitely recommend this property.

    So close to the beach, and an amazing Lanai for coffee and sunrise. Host is very attentive and responsive. There a quirks with parking and no dishwasher, but everything you need is here and we will be back!

    The location is great. Close to the beaches and a really welcoming neighborhood. The communication was as good as it gets, and we had so many good times thanks to the preparatory information provided. And that view!

    This house was comfortable and clean and ideally located near a few great beaches. The hosts were great, very responsive and provided some kind welcome gifts. The property also had some fun beach gear that can be conveniently borrowed. 10/10 would stay here again.

    Overall, the stay was very good. It was my first experience with a VRBO rental, so I didn’t have expectations, nor experience to relate it to. The property was clean, with views and proximity to the beach/amenities as advertised. A few minor issues (one window had minor damage to the frame and a loose nail on a piece of the door jamb, but I didn’t notice until we were cleaning to vacate so there was little opportunity for the repair while still there). I would rent again.

    My favorite location is Poipu. Management very quick to respond with questions. The home needs improvements to not be so basic. No dishwasher and the kitchen was very poorly stocked with pans etc... love the beach an turtles.

    This is a nice property and the beach gear is great (though note that the gear is shared with multiple properties). Was well equipped but would be nice to have a few extra bath and beach towels (only provided the exact number of towels as guests). View from the lanai was great and there was generally a good breeze in the morning and evening (full sun in the afternoon). Easy, downhill walk to the beach, but note that the walkable beaches get very crowded. There are a couple of places to eat that are within walking distance, but most places are a short drive away. We enjoyed our stay.
