First of all, Tom is a great host! He is super nice and reasonable! He always responded very promptly whenever I had any questions or requests. He even has a website about Kauai that is helpful for my Kauai planing. Tom and Margaret have a beautiful and Spacious 1bed/1bath condo. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we would need to prepare some nice meals. We got a nice view of the outside whether we were in the lanai, the kitchen, dining room or living room. Nice new furnitures! Large windows and lanai door allowed so much natural light! The location was perfect for us: 5 minutes walk to Poipu beach, 10 minutes from local supermarket, 25 minutes from airport, 25 minutes from Port Allen, a little over 1 hr to Waimea Canyon with many hiking trails... and best of all, when many places in Kauai were raining, Poipu Beach was still bathed in sunshine. We were hesitant about Kauai because of its reputation of getting alot of rain. But to our surprise, we had the best weather here at Poipu Beach: so much sunshine to enjoy the beach and enough tradewind to stay cool. Tom has a good brandnew AC unit in the bedroom but we didn’t need to use it at all. Poipu Beach had everything we wanted: safe beach for kids, so many fish for snorkeling and swimming, turtles and seals were everyday visitors to the beach while we were there. And if you are into surfing, you are at the right place too. Honestly, there are too many good things to list here about Tom’s place. I would definitely book this place again without hesitation.
