It is so kind when people share a place they love. At first blush, we thought the place was a little run-down and over furnished. But, there was everything we needed (expect bath soap and real coffee) and the surroundings are stunning. In one direction you can see the ocean and the other a hillside with mountains and historic ruins. The landscaping on the grounds was stunning and the pool is great. We rented snorkeling equipment and snorkeled right across the street (beautiful fish and turtles and sea urchins!) Treat yourself to dinner the Beach House directly across the street. Go to Poipu beach in the evening and watch the giant sea turtles come out for a rest. Thank you! We enjoyed ourselves. It seemed expensive but I don’t have much to compare it to.
