Staying at 301 Poipu Palms on 1697 Pe’e Road was great. I highly recommend it, and I would definitely stay there again. The condominium is an easy 20-30 min drive from the Lihue airport.
The unit is on the top floor, which is only a one and a half staircase walk up. The property is on the ocean side of Pe’e Road, overlooking the ocean with an unobstructed view from the living/dining room and a wonderful private lanai. We chose the site for this view, and it did not disappoint! We could see the crashing waves and sea turtles below.
Fifty steps from this ocean-facing unit brings you to a large wooden shared patio and a nice pool, both of which extend right to the edge of a bluff overlooking the ocean. We could see the beautiful sunset from here, and it was never crowded.
The amazing ocean breeze could be felt throughout the apartment. There is no AC, but with the breeze and the five ceiling fans, AC was not needed during our stay, even at the end of August.
All of the appliances worked well. We were able to wash our beach towels in the large washer and dryer. There was plenty of cookware. There were beach chairs, a beach umbrella and other helpful items for our exploration of various beaches.
The location is great for the south shore with easy accessibility to near by beaches in Poipu, as well as Poipu/ Koloa stores and restaurants. There is a stunning path that originates a block away from the condominium and winds along the ocean to the Grand Hyatt. The hosts were timely with answering questions during our planning of the trip and throughout our stay. We had a great family trip, and staying at this Airbnb was a big part it!
