The condo in Poipu was awesome!
Location in Poipu is great to get up to the west side of the island easily - exploring up to Waimea canyon doesn’t take more than a 1 hr drive. Going up the east side of the island is about the same, 1 hr drive to the end of the road. Great central condo location!
Poipu beach is nice and within a 5 min walk, but there are A LOT of more private beaches close by if that is important. Condo comes with beach chairs which was so nice to have access to.
Koloa is a town and a 5 min drive from the condo and has a few larger grocers/markets to take advantage of the great kitchen in this condo.
This unit does have AC, but with the amount of airflow possible, it was easier and better in most cases to just open the Windows and get the fresh air in.
We didn’t have any problem with theft or burglary while staying 5 nights, but did get a flyer from the community to keep things and doors locked up.
One thing that frustrated us was how noise traveled across the condos contained in the same building. Neighbors slamming doors can be heard very easily in this unit.
