We loved our stay at the cottage. Although not truly walkable to the athletic club or beach, both were a short 5 minute drive as well as a small farmer's market every Wed evening and plenty of restaurant options. Location was perfect for beautiful Poipu beach where we saw turtles and seals daily as well as all other parts of the island we visited. We especially loved having a kitchen and washing machine and dryer. We suggested a few minor additions regarding maintenance issues and some additional items needed in the kitchen for future visitors and Brandon was very responsive. We would definitely recommend this location for a couple or family of 2-4 that prefers being in a neighborhood not necessarily on the beach but very close to it
