We had an amazing time at this Hidden Gem! The condo was exactly what we needed to have a wonderful trip. The home was clean, the beds were so comfortable, there was plenty of room and the view was indescribable. I would stay their again in a heartbeat. Our host was responsive and so kind, he made us feel so welcome. It was just a wonderful experience all around. I have only positive things to say!
Disappointed in this Vrbo. Very old and needs updates…. Not very clean and grounds needs help
Wonderful property in a great location! Easy access to some of the most popular beaches on the island as well as close to many restaurants. The host was quick to respond to questions as well as provided recommendations for things to do. The patio did get hot due to the AC fan, otherwise the views were amazing. The unit was also well stocked with plenty of beach gear, rolling cooler, sunscreen and bug spray. Highly recommended!
Our host, John was very welcoming from the time we booked the condo through our stay. He was quick to answer any questions. The condo was well-equipped with everything we could possibly wantbor need for our stay.
The host was very welcoming. Great location. Condo was clean. Beds were very comfortable.The condo had everything you needed such as water toys, beach chairs snorkel gear. 10 min walk to the beach to see the turtles. Highly recommend to anyone. Just FYI condo was on the 3rd floor.
The views were beautiful from the condo. It rained every day, so an umbrella would've been helpful. The patio was very small and hot because of a fan for the AC but that was a small issue compared to the rest. It was a wonderful place to stay!!
The location was beautiful and it had everything we needed!The property manager responded quickly to our questions. We loved this property!
Really enjoyed the lanai. Could see turtles and dolphins. Property manager very responsive. Would definitely come again.
The townhome was clean and comfortable, gorgeous views off both sides! it was close to a trail to watch the sunrise and lots of great restaurants . Very comfy beds. Definitely a good value.
We had a great week! The location was perfect right on the water and between both Shipwreck and Poipu beaches. The place was fully stocked and clean! Communication with the host was great and we had no problems during our stay! We would return back to this property!
Highly recommended place! Hear and see the ocean from the unit! Well appointed condo with beach accessories. Thank you for a wonder stay!
GREAT TRIP! WONDERFUL CONDO And great l9cation!
The pictures were not an accurate description of the condo. We certainly did not arrive to the bottle of Rose and fruit platter as shown in the first picture. The railing on the outside deck was filthy, covered in dirt and bird poop, to the point that I had to clean it myself in order to enjoy being out there. The railing was also loose which made me nervous with my kids being out there. The master bath drain had hair in it, gross!!! I had read a review from Dec. of 2023 and February 2024 about the bedroom windows being filthy and sealed shut, but the owner had responded, saying they were awaiting new windows, I was assuming by end of June 2024 they would be replaced. Nope, the windows were so filthy we couldn’t even see out of them. The pictures shown in the ad of the bedroom views are not at all what you see from the bedrooms, you see filthy dirty window that you can’t even open and enjoy the Hawaii breeze. Yes there is air conditioning, but at night in Hawaii I want the windows opened and the breeze not the same AC I can get at home in Nevada.
Great place ,beautiful sunsets. Clean and very welcoming.
This was a great place for our family to stay on our vacation. This property had everything we could have needed and more. Close to several beaches and nice to have the pool downstairs! Would definitely stay again!
This condo was very close to the water, with convenient walks to Poipu and Shipwreck Beaches. The condo itself had some issues. The windows/screens on the upstairs bedrooms were filthy. (Ie bugs stuck in the screens, and the windows so dirty that it looked like you were looking through fog outside.) There were other maintenance issues, such as chipping paint, grime around cabinet handles, and drawers that didn’t work properly. On the plus side, the management company offered a mid-stay free cleaning!
Great views from Lanai of waves crashing on rocks below. Condo was clean and very well stocked. Appreciated all of the beach equipment, towels, and boogie boards. The kitchen was equipped very well with everything needed, including a large spice rack. The only drawback is many stairs to deal with and the refrigerator ice makes was not working. Overall a great condo. Would rent it again and have already recommended it to friends.
