Poipu is my wife's favorite place in the world.
We were excited for our visit and completely thrown off by the lack of response and "sudden" bookings of most of the places available in Poipu.
Poipu Shores was slow to respond and in many cases didn't reply at all.

Steve's place was the opposite of this.
His instant booking option was refreshingly quick.
He responded to every inquiry within minutes and was accommodating of all our requests (we asked to get in early to drop off groceries).

Steve's place is perfect for us.
The rooms are stocked with linens.
The neighbors are casual and low key.
The pool overlooks the ocean and is a great size.
The walk to Poipu beach is only 4 minutes.

A small thing, sounds silly, but they are stocked with a great kitchen.
Condiments, pots, pans etc.
It made staying in for breakfast and dinner really doable.

I was concerned at first about Steve's place because of a lack of reviews...but when we come back to Poipu, we are going to email Steve first.
