As many other travellers said, this was a great location. Perfectly situated between the north and the south. We spent most of her time in the south snorkelling at Poipu beach, and at Waimea Canyon. It was a really nice touch that the hosts provided some good quality (full face!) snorkels, a beach bag, and beach chairs. The beach nearby was too rough to use in the winter but the walks alongside it were lovely. This particular unit is on the ground floor facing the pool, and we could run less than 10m to the pool directly from our lanai which was awesome. Having the Coconut Market nearby was very handy - all the necessities at the ABC store. Powerful ceiling fans in the unit minimizing the need for noisy A/C - we only ran the A/C for a little while each evening.
