Location was great, and the view was awesome. We saw lots of turtles and a few dolphins from the balcony. It was only a 10-15 minute walk to Poipu beach and a really short drive to restaurants, coffee, shops, etc. Lots of beach gear too, that was so nice to have! There are plenty of beach toys for little ones. There were more than enough bath and beach towels to use. In unit washer and dryer is always nice(you'll likely need to buy laundry detergent as only a few pods were provided). The space was generally clean and tidy and plenty of room for our group of 7. There is a pool, though it's pretty small. It was still nice to just cool off at the end of the day, but definitely don't expect a lap pool.
If you plan on cooking, be aware that it's just not a cook's kitchen. The oven took quite a long time to heat which made the time in the kitchen considerably longer. Not very many utensils(needed whisk, heat resistant spatulas, etc.). Coffee maker and tea kettle were not clean so we didn't get to use those. Skillets/pots/pans were non-stick and had a lot of scratching and wear to the surface, which I don't really like to cook on. There are no spices, oils, sugar or any ingredients stocked as there are in some of the other vacation homes I've stayed in. Just something to be aware of if you plan on cooking, as these are very expensive to buy in the store, especially just for a short stay. Again, this isn't a huge deal, but as a family who cooks a lot it was a bit tough.
We visited at the end of August and it was warm and humid outside, 80's/90's. The ocean breeze and fans in the unit helped a ton. With the windows open, the ocean provides all the white noise you need for sleeping and the standing fans provided did a great job of circulating the air so it didn't feel hot.
If you are looking for ocean view, this place has a great one. Overall we really enjoyed our time here. The unit could use some updating in places, but since it was a vacation we weren't spending the majority of our time there and it wasn't a big problem. The location was good and we got to do a lot of fun things without having to drive huge distances(Kauai Coffee Farm walking tour, Kauai Plantation Railway, Waimea Canyon, Blue Dolphin Na Pali Coast Tour, some fun hikes, and of course the beaches).
