The condo is within walking distance to Poipu Beach, which has good snorkeling. Rent snorkeling equipment from Kauai Bound in Lihue, the owner Chris is a wealth of information on snorkeling spots, restaurants, and golf courses!
In terms of the condo, would recommend for a couple or single person who plans on eating out for most meals. While dishes, silverware, etc are supplied, they are the bare minimum (kitchen knives are dull and almost unusable, there are no baking/metal sheets for oven use).
Both gas grills near the condo were out of LP gas for 2 - 3 days at least, which led to a less than optimal utilization of nice (and affordable) sirloin steaks procured from Sueoka Market in Koloa.
Communicating this to the “on island” contact, we were told to contact the host Maggie, whose contact information we were not provided.
Though not the host’s fault, HDMI cable from cable box to TV had been broken by previous guest - they somehow had broken off the HDMI male connector INSIDE the TV HDMI receptacle.
Response from host via AirBNB app after communicating re: cable issue took 24 hours, and amounted to “use Netflix or Prime”. Not a big deal to us in terms of TV access, just including to ensure future guests have an idea of response time.
Didn’t bother to message host vis app re: lack of gas for grills, due to this response re: TV.
Overall, good location on Poipu and host did send detailed instructions re: unit access prior to our arrival. One note: though instructions noted info about separate keys for accessing pool area, the actual key location was not included.
In our case, we had to search for them in the unit - finally located in a wicker basket near the stairs which also included (obscured by) mosquito spray and some other items.
