This is a spacious and comfortable 2BR 2BA in the heart of Poipu, the part of the island where the waves are small in winter (though there are some decent surf breaks as well). The development it's part of is on a good swimming beach with a shore break where you can avail yourself of the bar at the Sheraton just down the beach. Best bodysurfing beach on the south shore is a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive. There's a very good restaurant and bar on site and a large public lawn with shared BBQs. Kiahuna residents have access to the Poipu Beach Athletic Club, a 3-minute walk across the street, which has a pool with a water slide and fake beach area, as well as a very well equipped gym. Also a very short walk across the street is a small outdoor mall of shops and restaurants, including the famous Puka Dog, a very good Thai restaurant and a very good gelato spot. Mark's place has beach chairs and boogie boards and a private balcony and patio; there's no A/C but we were comfortable with fans and open windows when it was mid-80s during the day and mid-70s at night.
