Darin was an excellent host. He was so easy to communicate with, and has an excellent response time. He was kind and understanding and generous. The condo is beautiful — the beach and the deck were our favorite parts and well-worth it.
The beach is a short walk away, and there are coffee shops, restaurants and a market across the street from the resort in which the condo is located. Poipu is definitely a great place for families, and should probably be your destination if you’re looking for a dryer, sunnier area on the island. My friend and I are in our early 20s and found ourselves more drawn to the North Shore and East Side because we felt there was more bustle / action for our age group. But we definitely experienced more rain in those areas, and this condo was such a nice sunny spot to come “home” to. The beach was so warm and pretty, and great for those days when we just wanted to take it easy.
