Top floor, very quiet, and exceptionally clean. Check-in was easy and staff was very pleasant and welcoming (note that the office is located apart from the complex a few minutes down the road). The lanai is roomy and faces southeast for beautiful views of the sunrise and Shipwreck Beach. Tastefully decorated, attractive artwork and comfortably furnished (if a bit dated). A couple of things are a little worn (screen door to lanai was sticky and cooler in closet has a broken handle), but could be easily remedied by the property manager. Great washer/dryer combo stored adjacent to a nice collection of titles for beach reading and a closet that includes two beach chairs, two boogie boards, and a beach umbrella. Perfect for a family of four--accommodations on one side for a couple, on the other for two older children--or for a couple like us that just wanted ample space. Kitchen had all the necessities for our needs (silverware, plates, bowls, dishwasher, detergents)--we stopped at Costco in Lihue and picked up some easy dinners, snacks and breakfast items. 12-15 minute beautiful stroll to a perfect Poipu sunset, further to get to Poipu Beach (lifeguard). We are active so didn't mind the sunset stroll, but up ended making the short drive to the beach--parking was right across the street. This unit is part of a larger, very quiet condo complex with beautifully manicured grounds and a nice pool (a little chilly). The property is adjacent to that of the Grand Hyatt--the sidewalks connect to allow for a stroll through that hotel's gorgeous outdoor garden (a must) and access to Shipwreck Beach (not lifeguarded, waves were too rough for us). We easily used this as home base for the beach and other excursions across the island. All-in-all, great value, just what we needed, and we would definitely return!
