We loved that the apartment was so new and overlooked a golf course with the beautiful mountains in the background. There were native geese, nenes, on the grounds and lots of other birds as well as palm trees and many flowers. You can see the ocean from the golf course. The house is quite new. The decor very open and modern with lots of windows, lots of fresh air. It has wood floors. It is 1.5 miles from a beautiful public beach that offers safe swimming and snorkeling. Or you can walk out of the neighborhood, cross the street and get to the beach by crossing Poipu Rd. We mostly cooked for ourselves and the kitchen is very user-friendly and has new appliances, including a gas stove with both a regular and convection oven. There are several restaurants close by as well. Loved the very tall shower! Plenty of towels were provided for both home and beach. It was a great stay!
