We loved staying with Susan and Bernie! They were highly responsive despite our late night arrival and throughout our stay. We had everything we needed - we were equipped to make our own meals, snacks, and coffee (including an electric kettle for tea!) It was a little challenging to find the driveway in the dark and rain but Susan looked out for us and made sure we found our way :) We arrived on New Years Day and there was still a little Christmas tree that lit up on a timer. Super cute and homey.
It was fun to have the TV and DVD player - we rented movies from Redbox. And the shower was awesome! (My partner is 6’4” and was super happy about it.) There we’re tons of other amenities we never ended up using but look awesome (including boogie boards, beach towels, snorkels, a BBQ grill). All in all we had everything we needed, it was a sweet, clean, and comfortable little place and we would be glad to stay again if they will have us.
Tips:
- there’s a Redbox at a little place in Poipu Shopping Village within walking distance (there is also one at Safeway)
- if you’re looking for good coffee we walked to Little Fish Coffee almost every morning for hot beverages and breakfast sandwiches. The line can be long but you can order ahead or hang out in line w the chickens (it moves pretty fast)
- we took surfing lessons (they also rent boards and snorkels) at Hoku Water Sports across the street - maybe a 15-20 min walk. It was an incredibly positive experience, we adored both the gentleman running the kiosk that day as well as our instructor and highly recommend!
- probably a no-brainer for most people but I had to text Susan for help… To close the bed it’s easiest if you take the pillows off :)
