The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful both leading up to and during the trip. The place is as advertised with an updated kitchen, an eat in area, a very spacious common area, and two good size bedrooms. The washer and dryer seemed brand new. Plenty of beach toys for your use. The location was excellent with an easy walk to the pool, tennis courts, and Poipu Beach. We watched the sunset each night from the balcony or from the road in front of Nihi Kai with many of the people who gather for it. Make sure you get out and enjoy that moment.
The condo is about a couple of minutes drive from a few shopping and eating areas and the town of Koloa. I highly recommend the Beach House Restaurant and Plantation Gardens for a nice night out. Be sure to book ahead for the sunset at the Beach House or just go in right after viewing it from there. There is snorkeling right out on Poipu Beach and Brennecke's Beach Broilder is right off the beach for a quick drink or dinner, again maybe less than a hundred yards walk away.
There is parking right next to the condo and I even used the hose to wash the red clay off our white rental. There is also a faucet at which you can wash your feet before tracking sand into the condo (to the left of 803). The place was perfect for a family of four with upstairs (ocean view) and downstairs balconies overlooking the beautiful and very Hawaiian grounds. Thanks for allowing us to stay in you most excellent unit!
