Great place to stay in Poipu! Condo had everything we needed - except A/C. I am sure it said it somewhere in the description but I missed it. It doesn't really cool down much, especially upstairs, so keep this in mind when booking. The crater area is beautiful and quiet! Enjoyed mornings on the porch!

No ac needed with the beautiful trade winds! Some hills to tackle but only .6 miles to Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach. Nice walking path around the corner connected us to these beaches or Shipwreck Beach the other direction. We had everything we needed for our stay provided at this nice condo.

Quiet, perfect location

The location is perfect! A quick run to Costco isn't too far away, and beautiful beaches are only a short walk or drive. We really enjoyed the beach chairs, boards and snorkel gear in the condo. Peaceful and quiet meals out on the lanai were a relaxing part of our trip. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and wanted. Would absolutely stay here again!

Real crater!

This is a nice clean comfortable unit with a beautiful well sheltered lanai that gets the morning sun, wonderful breakfast spot. We didn’t realize when we booked it but the name does hint at the fact that you are really in a crater. The turn off the street into the complex drops probably about 30 feet to your parking spot, then there is maybe 12-15 foot climb back up the sidewalk to get to the unit. We are able bodied so it wasn’t that big of a deal but we had planned on doing a little more walking from the unit to the beaches and shops. We ended up driving most places instead. This unit is pretty good value for your dollar I think with somewhat dated fixtures and furnishings but it was comfortable and functional. There was a shortage of Kleenex, garbage bags and no sink stopper for the kitchen sink and it seems the towels had been put away while still damp by the cleaners before our stay, so those were down points but all around we were quite satisfied.
