This was our second stay at Poipu Shores. With one primary travel route on the island exterior, staying on the south side makes it easier to drive up the northwest or northeast sides of the island for the day to see the sites. The master bedroom and living room both have sliders out to the private lanai. There are dramatic views of the waves crashing along the rocky shoreline, sea turtles, dolphins, sunsets, and rainbows just a few feet away. This corner unit has bonus ocean views from the large living room/dining area windows (drawn window coverings in the late afternoon help with excess heat). A sandy beach is a 5-minute walk (beach items/towels provided in rental). The complex has a nice pool deck (closes at sunset) with easy viewing of the sea turtles just below the deck railing. Outdoor grills are available.
Well-maintained unit fully equipped with cookware, utensils, drip/filters and K-cup coffee makers, blender, rice cooker, toaster, and ice maker. Enough TP, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap/pods for our entire stay, and a few toiletry starter sets were also provided. I would recommend packing salt/pepper, seasonings, zip lock bags, foil, and laundry soap sheets in your luggage as these types of items are not provided and island prices are much higher.
Since the unit has no A/C, I requested a floor fan at the time of booking to compliment the ceiling fans and was pleasantly surprised to see 4 floor fans when we arrived! The parking spaces are very tight, so I would try to avoid very large rental cars if possible...not just an issue at this complex, but everywhere on the island. Easy after-hours check-in.
