Peter's condo was a lovely spot for our Kauai vacation! Plantation staff were all very friendly and helpful. We walked to the beach, enjoyed the pool at the athletic club, and spent time at the nearby shops. There is a breakfast/early lunch place across the street that is delicious! The condo had some beach equipment for us to use and we got chairs/towels from the beach hut.
We rented a car to buy groceries and do some excursions. If you want a resort-style vacation you can do it without the car! Poipu road is not very walkable (to the shops), but we found we could walk along the beach until a sidewalk became available.
Peter was very communicative and helped us with our late check-in. Be prepared for early morning birdsong and roosters ready to start their day!
