Loved hearing the ocean waves all night, having breakfasts and sunset drinks on the back patio, and being able to walk to Poipu beach. (Note, you can't swim in the ocean directly outside the unit; not an issue for us but just FYI.) Having the laundry machines in the unit was terrific, and, although parking spots are narrow, we were always able to find a spot even though it was Christmas week and crowded making parking everywhere else a pain. The beds were comfortable. The location of the unit is terrific, and we loved having the beach towels and beach chairs.
We were surprised and disappointed to find that the walls of the bedrooms and bathrooms do not go all the way up; there are openings at the top of each wall so that there is no privacy; we could hear each other use bathrooms, talk on phones, etc. (We could also hear the neighbors next door talk when we were trying to sleep in the morning but I think that was just one particularly loud neighbor.) We also had a little bit of bad luck in that the pool heater was on the fritz so we never found it warm enough to use.
But other than that, the home was as advertised and well-cleaned. Parker was responsive and helpful. Other reviewers had talked about the lock being broken on the downstairs sliding glass door, but I agree with Parker that the use of a pipe to block the door from being able to be opened makes that not an issue in terms of security. We felt totally safe in the unit.
