This condo is as advertised. It is an amazing location. We spent 2 weeks in the condo with our family of 4 (kids 3, and 10) and had a great experience over Christmas and New Year's. We explored several beaches on the island during our stay, but found Poipu to be the best locale on the island as it has the most diverse activities available from the best boogie boarding, good snorkeling, good surfing, a large kiddie pool (shallow enough for toddlers (maybe 2 ft. deep) with no wake, and a large playground with lots of kids that are playing all day all within walking distance of the unit. As time went on, we forewent walking to the beach for driving simply because we seemed to carry more and more things during the week that it shortened trips to and from the condo if we forgot a sand toy or something else (parking is busy near the beach but we never had an issue finding parking), but the beach is easily walkable and there were numerous times we made the walk throughout the two weeks. The amenities of the apartment have everything you need to have a great in room experience. We had an unusually high amount of rain for the first 4-5 days, so we had to change our activities a bit, but the condo still offered plenty inside and in the area that it was still a great experience even during those days. I'd definitely recommend this condo, which is our second rental in Hawaii in the last year and a half and our first condo in Kauai.
