Great location with a short walk to the beach and has a view of the ocean (from the bedrooms). Nice amenities such as a w/d within the house along with detergent, Keurig with coffee pot/K-cup option and beach towels are provided. Property manager texted to see how things were going and quick to respond to any questions!

We all liked contemporary style of the property. It's very clean and the kitchen has everything, so you can cook meals for your family if you want to. In-unit washer/dryer is definitely a plus. Only complaint was the WiFi signal was kinda weak. No idea why. But it's not a big deal as we all have cell service. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely come back. Thanks.

We enjoyed one of the best vacations we’ve ever taken. The property was immaculate and very well-appointed. The high tech bathroom was amazing!!! The unit had everything we needed including beach gear - beach towels, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, noodles - you name it. The property manager was attentive and ensured we had the best experience. We will definitely reserve this rental next year!

Overall had a great stay and everything was great. The air conditioners sputter water over the beds but figured that wasn’t a huge deal, just moved the beds. Internet and TV wouldn’t work after we got there. By 2nd day maintenance came out to fix the tv connection and it worked! WiFi remained very unreliable the whole stay. Mentioned this as a problem but didn’t hear back after the tv fix so guessing this is just normal for this property. Loved the extra shared storage area with boogie boards, snorkle gear, floaties, coolers, beach chairs/umbrellas etc!
Unit had a washer/dryer which was a huge convenience. Windows to the back of the house were broken so we couldn’t really open to get a cross breeze (main room got pretty hot during the afternoon/evenings despite curtains being drawn and air conditioner set to 72/73).
The location was great, no bugs, quiet, and we would return.

This property had some great features - bathroom updates was incredible and kitchen had some wonderful features. Price was good for location and space. Could use a couple of updates - linens on bed, barstools too low, better couch - maybe a hideaway bed instead. Was very good but not great. We did enjoy our stay and appreciate the communication with host. Mahalo.

The location was ideal, just 5 minutes from beautiful Poipu Beach where 40 plus sea turtles sleep on the beach at sunset! Restaurants and reasonable grocery stores are all within a 10 minute drive. The beach stuff provided was really helpful [umbrellas, chairs, cooler] though the snorkel gear was hit or miss. The housekeeper was very helpful and friendly and let us use the lanai of another unit when no one was renting it. Not having a lanai in Hawaii was a bummer. We had decided that because this rental had an updated bathroom and kitchen it would be worth not having a lanai, but when we got there, the updated bathroom was problematic [the shower's water spills out onto the entire floor of the bathroom], and we just wanted to watch the sea and sunset when eating breakfast and dinner. I recommend getting a front unit with a lanai.
The rental itself served our needs, though its minimalist look left much to be desired. Here are my suggestions for the rental: Have a front doormat, coat rack [for bags] and shoe rack, so walking in from the beach we don't track sand in the house; have a laundry line hanging on the unused back porch for wet towels and swim suits; have a dish drying rack that is not in the sink [the dishes just get wet again]; get new sheets for the beds [these ones are old and scratchy]; have a bedside light by each side of the primary bed; have folding chairs to sit on the back porch or to squeeze on the front porch; provide a bath mat.
