We had a 5 night stay in this apartment, which was very good overall. As other reviewers noted, it's very new and very clean, with a great kitchen. The indoor shower is lovely, the outdoor shower was barely a trickle so we didn't use it. You don't have access to the back yard and there is no outdoor space aside from that shower, unless you count the steps leading to the front door (which we did sit on one night, NYC style, because the weather was so nice!) Though you could technically walk to Poipu Beach, it would be about 20-25 minutes on foot.. so if you're bringing anything to the beach (chairs, a cooler - which the apartment provides) it makes more sense to drive 5 minutes and park at the public lots across from Poipu Beach Park. They do fill up, but we went between 8-9am and had no problem finding a spot. We saw sea turtles on the beach in the mornings, and monk seals too throughout the day. The south shore is a great access point for hiking in Waimea Canyon and Koke'e State Parks, it's more than an hour to drive to the lush backdrops of the north shore (Hanalei Bay), so definitely consider where you want to be spending most of your time. The apartment is connected to the main house via the garage, and the owners live in the main house and use the main garage. Though we shared the driveway with them and saw them several times, they barely looked at us and didn't acknowledge us at all. Perhaps because the Airbnb is managed by a luxury property rental company and they were trying to give us privacy? In any case, a simple 'hey, how are you?' would have felt better than pretending we're not all standing in the same driveway. It was almost like we weren't supposed to be there.
