If you’re looking for a perfect central spot in Poipu, this is it. This was our first time to Kauai and this was our first destination. I only rented this location for the first two nights and tried to save a little cash by switching to a cheaper location for our last two nights and boy was that a mistake. Merris’s place has everything we wanted and more. It has a great location in the area, close enough to walk to the local shopping center that has food, shopping, coffee, etc and also only a 1 min walk to the beach. The unit is a primo top corner unit so you don’t really have to worry about noisy neighbors overhead. One key thing that this unit has that I would take every time is the AC unit - it made sleeping so nice and fulfilling. Plus if you need a midday cool down, the place was a great for that. Really, if you think AC isn’t that important, just imagine paying to be on vacation and not getting very good sleep. Some other great things we liked about this place was the little things in the unit that really help make it feel like home. The beach gear they had worked perfect for us (snorkeling gear, boogie boards, cooler, football, etc.). We enjoyed having coffee out on the deck in the morning on the beach chairs and enjoying the view of the landscaping. The internet was fast and reliable (2.4 & 5Ghz options) and the tv was large and had a good cable selection. A small and simple thing like having a Brita in the fridge was a nice touch. You’re drinking a lot of water in the heat and the water from the sink in my other condo is blah. The building is close to a parking area so that makes coming and going nice and easy. Overall I would definitely stay here again and I wish I would have stayed here for all 4 nights. Right now as I write this, our neighbors overhead keep walking around making noise (it’s 12:30am). This is why you go with Merris’s place - they’ve already thought about what is necessary for a great stay.
