The house is as nice in person as it is in the photos. The layout, furnishings and amenities are modern, plentiful and high quality. We especially appreciated the beach equipment, including plenty of nice large towels, four beach chairs, a boogie board, nice beach umbrella and a rolling cooler.
Although there are three nice, big bedrooms, this house would work best for two couples or a family with children rather than three couples. Two of the bedrooms share a nice but fairly small bathroom that wouldn’t work for two couples. The beds are all very comfortable and each bedroom has a TV with cable. The master has its own beautiful bathroom. There is also a powder room.
The kitchen is very well equipped for serious cooks and the large island is very comfortable for dining, hanging out, and planning the day in Kaua’i. The house is in a quiet, charming community of similar houses. We walked to the ocean in about 19 minutes by walking through the beautifully landscaped Koloa Landing Resort. It’s more of a hike, but doable, to the main shopping area. We spent two beach days at the fabulous sand beach by the Sheraton (easy 5-minute drive with enough parking) and loved the mostly sandy bottom and unforgettable snorkeling.
Getting to main roads to other great sites all around the island is easy from the house. We were very happy with our choice to stay in the Poipu area.
The laundry facilities are excellent and totally equipped.
A few areas for improvement: the dishwasher is not attached to its cabinet and was tricky to load: the dishes got cleaned, though. Also the lack of a shade in the guest bathroom window was a privacy problem because the window faces other houses. We actually taped up a towel to cover it up.
We absolutely recommend this house as a great place to stay.
