My family and I (two adults, two kids) very much enjoyed our stay. The condo was an excellent value in an excellent location. The walk to Poipu Beach was nice, and we spent several of our days there snorkeling and playing. It was also nice that Shipwreck beach was equidistant from the condo in the opposite direction, down a nice path. We appreciated the beach chairs available in the condo. We cooked or prepared most of our meals in the condo, and we were happy with the kitchen space and tools and appliances for cooking. The condo complex has three BBQ grills, which I used 4 or 5 times, and I was very happy with them. They are quality Weber gas or propane grills, and I didn't have any trouble accessing them. They are in the pool areas, about 50 yards away from the condo. In the condo we could hear the people in the upstairs unit walking around, so hopefully they are on about the same sleep schedule as you; we simply turned on some white noise at night and it was no problem. Overall, hooray for Kaua'i!
