The grounds in front of the property are beautiful – your own botanical garden. Nice condo, clean, nice view of the ocean from the balcony, less than five minute walk from door to beach, snorkel and boogie board stuff, beach chairs. The kitchen is well equipped with all I needed to cook. It has a full size refrigerator. The sink is small (a little over the width of a dinner plate) and there’s not much counter space to work, but I made it work. If I was inside with the windows and sliding door shut, I could hear the people next door talking on the balcony. I usually went to bed around 8 pm. I just turned on the AC and if there were any other sounds, it drowned them out.
“Ben” is not managing this place. Poipu Connection Realty is. The pros: They let me check in a few hours early as there was no one staying there that day. The cons: They claimed twice via phone that they sent me check in instructions via Airbnb. I never received them and confirmed with Airbnb that they never sent them. I had to call them to get the instructions verbally. So once I got there I saw a sign that you have to have a permit to park in the lot. David left out how to get a parking permit. So I called the realty company again - this time to find out how to get a permit and how to get to the garage. I reached a woman (Anne?) who gave me the information I needed, but spoke to me in a condescending manner. (The guys at the company were nice on the phone). After I took my first shower, I realized I was almost out of shampoo. I sent them a message via Airbnb that morning requesting more shampoo. Late afternoon and no reply from them so I called. The guy told me they don’t supply shampoo and no condos on the island do. Well I’m sorry but that’s not true.
