Manualoha 101, Opposite Brennecke/Poipu Beaches, Sunset Views, 2 a/c's

For the money this place was perfect. The location is literally one of the best on the island. A walk to the best beaches, especially in winter or spring. Sunset views from the condo. We lucked out with this place. We had no idea it is so perfectly located. Literally the best location in the entire complex. Some people have to walk a distance to the pool or the beach. Not us! Right out the door. Unreal. Ac blows cold. Plenty of boogie boards.

The location of the unit is fantastic. Parking is a few steps from the front door. The pool was very close to the unit and it took just a few minutes to walk to the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need. The living area had plenty of seating and we really liked the loft with the adjoining lanai.

Kitchen well equipped and clean with some basic provisions. Floor layout excellent with separate second bedroom and patio. Super view and location. The best. Don. L

It also had a wonderful selection of snorkeling gear, beach chairs and boogie boards. There is a great assortment of dishes and pots and pans. It's also close to the pool. The upstairs bedroom with twin beds and a pull out couch in charming.

Vicki and the property manager were excellent. This property was everything we expected in location and proximity. Right next to the pool and a direct path to the ocean. Both of the lanais were excellent- the ground level one was a great spot for the family to hang out while the upper one provided a great view of the ocean and a wonderful place to decompress at night. Parking was always available. The air conditioning kept things at a comfortable temperature.The place was well stocked from the kitchen to a closet filled with activities from boogie boards to beach chairs to anything else that was needed. Thank you for everything provided.The only two notes to keep in mind for this property- the ground floor does have a couple steps in it to get to the living room space. We had someone with mobility difficulties, so we had to work around that. Also, the upstairs beds are rather short. We had two people over 6 foot in those beds, and they were definitely bigger than the beds. Neither of these factors diminished our experience and we would gladly stay here again!!Finally, the passes to the athletic club were so appreciated- thank you for including them.Overall, a fantastic experience and so glad we got the chance to use this as the base for our trip!!

Everything was wonderful especially the view out the front windows and from the patio. The beach accessories were also great to have. Hopefully we'll be able to stay here again sometime in the near future.

Pros - Fantastic location for the price we paid. Outdoor grill and pool nearby. Proximity to the beach was great, just a short walk from the lanai. Cons - The A/C didn’t work very well and indoors was very warm and a few nights were hot even with the shades closed. One of the A/C units exhaust vent was broken sending hot air into the unit when we arrived and management acknowledged but didn't fix it. I ended up re-wrapping the vent with some of the existing tape and plastic wrap. A/C and fans were caked with dust on all vents. The shower door fell off and took a day to repair. The unit floor didn’t appear clean but wasn’t something we brought up to management. Odd, but didn’t affect my trip - The couch bed didn’t work well so if are expecting an extra bed, beware it might not work. Window slats didn’t close all the way or work very well at all if we wanted to open them. Unsure what towels we should use for the beach vs shower. No dishcloth, so cleaning the stove and counters with a sponge was difficult.

Great location, the pool was perfect with amazing views. Condo was a little dated but fit our needs.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location can’t be beat! We walked to see the turtles and monk seals every day/night at Poipu Beach. It’s a very short walk to Puka Dog and Brennecke Beach where you can boogie board. The pool is right around the corner and has a great view and is super relaxing. With that being said, the place needs a major overhaul. The main bedroom had a strong mold/mildew smell. The carpet is old and stained. The shower is barely big enough to turn around (impossible to shave my legs). In the main living space, there is no comfortable place to sit. We couldn’t use the a/c unit in there because the plastic hose was cracked off. The dishwasher is absolutely disgusting on the inside and the plates/pots/skillets are soooo old/chipped. The loft had plenty of fans, but again the carpet was old and stained. I tried to open a window and a wood slat literally crumbled in my hand. We tried to spend as least amount of time as possible inside as it just wasn’t a nice place to hang out or relax. The host was very accommodating with a very early check in time which was appreciated.

Thank you!

I will do it again.

Unit was as advertised. Can't beat the location, close to beach and pool. Overall, the unit is acceptable. Needs new floor fans (squeaky/noisy). My family stayed in the same unit 34 years ago, and besides the new bathroom countertops and newer appliances, it has pretty much the same 80's motif with ratan furniture and outdated patio furniture. I would stay here again with my family as the location can't be beat. Wanna do Brenneke's at the spur of the moment? This is the place to stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay. The view and location can’t be beat. Walk to beach within minutes. Two pools on site and a short drive to Athletic Club. The house isn’t super fancy so if you’re looking for central AC and top of the line furniture, floors, and bathrooms you’ll be disappointed. I thought it was perfect. Tons of beach items available which was excellent. We would 100% stay here again.

Awesome location for a great condo stay. Next to the pool and very short walk to the beach. Some updates are needed, but when you’re in Hawaii, these things matter very little. We would stay here again. PS: Buy some puzzles, games and videos. It rained for our first three days.

A few dead cockroaches which I somewhat expected, masterbed comfy. Had to use 2 sleepers which were ok not wonderful, warm in upstairs. Nice big bath tub. Well equipped kitchen. Staff accomodating.

Great stay at Poipu Kai.

All the amenities one needs for a great Poipu stay. Nice, quiet master and cute, simple loft with twins. We had a teen use sleeper sofa in loft, which worked well. Kitchen has all needs covered. Chairs and boogie boards to use. Simple parking and nice pool. All just very easy peasy. And super clean and comfy. Great communication, too. Terrific location. Easy walk to Brenneck’s and Poipu Beach. Poipu has excellent snorkeling, and at this time, we saw basking Green Turtles and Monk Seals. Walk to several restaurants.

Love the views, open airy condo, everything we needed, would definitely book again!!!
