Pictures just can’t do this apartment justice. The location is better than advertised. It is the perfect location to experience the sunrise and sunset every single day-The first night we saw dolphins and whales while watching the glorious sunset. The apartment is spacious, clean, and well appointed. My family of 4 had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy evenings playing cards with gentle tropical breezes. Within Walking distance to Poipu Beach which had the most incredible snorkeling and Shipwreck beach which has incredible waves. Nokohomi surf shop at Poipu beach rents boogie boards and snorkeling gear for cheap week rates. The apartment does have some beach gear-chairs, towels, snorkels but we found it best to pick up our own masks. The Makahuena complex offers plenty with a pool, hot tub, and grills. Even though the weather forecast showed partly cloudy with showers we had pure sunshine for the entire week.
