This lovely condo was the perfect place to spend 3 nights on the south shore. My sister and I were visiting Kauai for a girls' get away. We looked into hotel options but decided to go with Airbnb instead and so glad we did!
Check in: very easy! There is a "front desk" building around the corner (follow Merris' directions) with very friendly staff that provided the key cards, towel cards, map of the property, and some info about the area.
Unit: Very clean, bright, and had a Hawaiian feel. Unit had plenty of towels, some typical hotel amenities like soaps, shampoos, etc. There was a hair dryer in the bathroom. Big comfortable king size bed with plenty of pillows. Spacious living room and a nice big flat screen TV with access to Netflix/Hulu etc. Kitchen with the usual things you need, although we didn't end up using it because of our short trip. The unit had two fans to help circulate the air at night time (it isn't air conditioned so the fans are helpful to bring in the ocean breeze). A lot of light comes in when the sun rises, so you will be awake by 7... but its very dark by 6pm, so you need to get up early and enjoy your day! Merris also has a boogie board and beach umbrella in the closet in case you want them for the beach.
Location: Amazing. Very short walk, like 5 minutes max, to the beach. There is a hut right at the beach entrance for towels. There is a grassy lawn with beach loungers for relaxing. The condo is also right across the street from the Poipu shopping center with restaurants/shopping. Also the Little Fish coffee stand is right across the street and should not be missed! We went multiple times! Short drive to Poipu Beach Park which was great for snorkeling and spotting monk seals. There is an athletic club across the street, but we didn't have time to try it out...too busy enjoying everything else!
Overall, highly recommend Merris' place. So convenient and relaxing. We also found it to be a better deal than the hotels while still providing what we needed!
