Stay at Katie’s place! The ocean is just a few steps from the patio.
We had stormy weather during our trip, and there’s no place I’d rather be. Cozy with the sounds of the ocean crashing on the shore.
Kitchen is well-stocked with pans, tableware, etc. When you arrive in Lihue, get your groceries at Costco, Safeway, or Target before driving south to Poipu. The market in Koloa also has a lot of odds and ends if you forget something.
The condo comes with beach towels, boogie boards, and beach chairs. The beach is only a 10 minute walk.
Stop by the produce stand on the right side of the highway as you come in to Poipu. The mini pineapples and apple bananas are delicious!
Don’t wait for the weather to get better. It changes throughout the day. Just decide what you’re doing and go for it! We drove to Hanalei Bay (takes 1.25 hrs)… wished we had taken surfing lessons up there. Great beginner waves in the winter. (The surf at Poipu wasn’t good for newbies while we were here.)
Waimea Canyon is a gorgeous drive. We tried to hike too, but it was raining too hard.
Stay here!
