If you’re looking for a place away from the throngs of people, this is the place. It was a nice walk along the beach in the morning (about 3500 steps out and back - turn left out of the cottage). Waimea and Hanapepe had grocery shopping and restaurants and other shopping. Poipu has access to beach and boat launch for other water activities. There is no a/c, and it wasn’t a problem - opened the windows and had ceiling fans, even pulled a blanket down overnight (note, we were there in April). Internet was fast. Kitchen was well appointed. And the sky is filled with stars at night!
