This is a great condo across the street from a wonderful snorkeling beach (Lawai Beach beside Beach House Restaurant in Koloa/Poipu area). The beach has a nice sand beach, a sandy entrance area into the water, and a mostly rocky bottom. The reef and rocks surrounding the outside of the beach is what makes the snorkeling so great there. We were there in late April, so the water was mostly calm. The condo itself has a full kitchen with stove, refrigerator, coffee maker, pots, pans, dishes, and condiments. It leads into the bedroom, which then leads into a very bright, sunny sitting area/living room with comfortable wicker furniture overlooking a small lanai, all with a great view (see listing photos) of the ocean. When the lanai sliding glass door is open, along with the shutters in the kitchen/entrance area, the breeze is exquisite, and what you only experience from being by the ocean. There is a large, open, tiled shower with shutters that open to the sitting room to let the breeze in. We felt so at home here, the place was so relaxing and comfortable. The location was very convenient for going to the beaches in Poipu, dining, shopping, going to Waimea Canyon, and going to Auntie Lilikoi's in Waimea, for yummy Lilikoi (passionfruit) jellies. And the Shops at Kukui'ula, within easy walking distance, host a local farmers' market on Wednesday afternoons 3:30-6:00 p.m. I can't imagine that we could have found a greater place to stay; great communication and suggestions from the host.
