Overall The apt was a great stay for our family (my hubby, our 1.5 year old daughter and I.)
what we loved:
The location- it’s a couple doors down from Poipu Beach, which is such a lovely beach for kiddos.
The size and layout of the apt- neither of the bedrooms connected to the bathroom and the kitchen was on the seperate end of the babes bedroom which was nice for cooking during her sleep and nap times.
The kitchen was well appointed- everything we needed to cook and eat with was supplied.
Lots of towels and beach gear (but the beach umbrella was broken)
Beds and pillows comfy
Parking spot
AC worked super well, we were never hot in the house.
Filtered water from the fridge (though it needed a new filter) and Ice machine.
Black out curtains throughout the house and double paned glass windows. Kept the place cool.
Things we didn’t love:
The shower was super slippery (haha) I almost fell a few times showering and our little one slipped allllll over the place when we gave her a bath. After the first couple nights she wouldn’t take a bath without one of us being in the bathtub with her 😂
The management company sends a few emails after booking and included an incorrect address, which is unfortunately the one I used to try and locate the airbnb when we landed. It directed us to a house that obviously wasn’t the right one…so I just looked it up on airbnb and found the right addy. Wasn’t a big deal but it did cost us quite a bit of time and gas (with a very tired cranky kiddo).
The tenants above were pretty loud and heavy footed, till late in the night. Our daughter slept fine but the hubs and I woke up quite a bit
The check out is 10am (which is such an early check out) AND they ask that you sweep the entire place, take out the trash and load the dishwasher before you leave while charging $250 for a cleaning fee. The checkout time is disclosed when booking but the additional cleaning by the tenant is not. IMO they shouldn’t charge such a hefty cleaning fee if they’re going to ask you to do a good portion of it before you leave. Doing our dishes and taking out the trash is customary and understandable but the sweeping and cleaning of the floors seemed excessive to us.
Overall a great stay with a few exceptions!
