One word more than anything else makes this place worth it: the view! So gorgeous, any time of day or night. We loved watching the sunset on the lanei, and sitting listening to the waves and looking at the stars once the sun went down. Also a great location to get to a lot of places, and walkable to poipu beach and a few restaurants. Biggest drawback is the no AC - Jim and Cathy have numerous fans which make a huge difference, but don't plan on being in the condo during the peak day say 11-4 without sweating/being fairly uncomfortable. Also, the noise carries easily (we heard people sneeze in other units when windows were open), and the management does pool cleaning/yard work as soon as quiet hours are over, bright and early at 7:30/8am. So instead of waking up to the sound of waves we often woke up to the sound of a hose on the pool deck. Since there is no AC, you really have to keep windows open or it would be unbearable, so despite thick walls you hear a lot of neighbor noise. People were respectful of the quiet hours though. Overall, as long as you can handle no AC we'd absolutely still recommend this location - such a pretty view!!!
