We really enjoyed our time at Poipu Crater. It is about a 15 min walk to several beaches, or a quick drive. The condo includes a lot of beach gear to use (boogie boards, cooler, snorkel masks, etc) which was very nice. There was also a thoughtful welcome basket with some local goodies. Our main disappointment was the listing included a hot tub, which was a big factor in why we booked it. There is NO HOT TUB however, so please be advised!! I did message the host twice about this during our stay and never got a response. This was very upsetting. Overall, though, we were very pleased.
