- Summary: In case you don’t have time to read the entire review, here is a summary: - Pros: Great location - Poipu is basically centrally located and you can get to the north side of the island or the west side of the island in about an hour. The apartment is basically new construction (at least when we were visiting June 2018), so it’s clean and fairly well equipped. - Cons: NOT PRIVATE. The putting green, and BBQ are shared with 2 other units on the property, and as you can see from the pictures, they are situated right next to the “private” deck. If you want to have a romantic dinner outside, you better hope that another couple isn’t barbecuing or practicing golf. Those shared areas are also about 10 feet from the bedroom - Yikes! INAPPROPRIATE HOST - Susan has a tendency of coming over whenever she feels like it, regardless of what you might have planned. Also, if you want her to leave, you need to be very direct with her - she doesn't pick up on subtle hints. - Full Review: My husband and I booked this place for our 7th anniversary. Unfortunately, it was not as advertised. Susan has updated the description slightly, but the description is missing some important elements that may affect your vacation. The original description really mislead us to believe that we would be booking an entire house. Based on the photos/description, we thought we would be the only people in a small guest house that is detached from the main structure. Unfortunately, this rental is a lower unit apartment in that separate “guest house” structure you see in the pictures. 5 out of the 8 nights of our stay, there were guests above us, and the noise from them walking around, flushing the toilet, using the kitchen was enough to keep us up late several nights. The guests were not partying, or being inappropriately loud after quiet time, this is just a small space - Cramming 2 apartments into a small guest house means that you are likely to hear anything that your neighbors are doing. The only reason there weren’t people above us all 8 nights was that we became so fed up, we sent an email to Susan, so the last 3 days she was able to keep the upstairs apartment vacant. The description also left out the fact that the putting green, laundry room, barbecue, golf clubs, and even the coffee grinder are shared with, not only guests in the upper apartment, but guests in another apartment attached to the main house. This wouldn’t be such a big deal, except for the fact that the barbecue and putting green sit right next to the deck where the only eating area is located, and both the putting green and barbeque sit about 10 feet from the bedroom. It’s a little creepy trying to spend some quality time with your husband and worrying that another group of people...
