Overall this property is very nice. The appliances and the bathrooms are top notch. The location was unreal...right on the water! Listening to the ocean all day and night was great! We saw numerous whales while sitting on the patio (the lanai furniture is wonderful). The pool area is gorgeous - we saw so many sea turtles just over the railing of the pool deck.
The downsides were noise - people below or to the sides can be really loud, as well as those walking along the hallway outside the second bedroom. Another issue was safety. When we arrived, we were shocked to find THREE separate notices on the kitchen counter with the welcome packet warning us to shut all the louvers on the windows, use the wood stick to secure the balcony door (if on the first or second floors, and this unit is on the second floor), and deadbolt the door once inside "for our safety". It's HOT in the condo with the windows shut, and the fans appear to be on their last good leg because the highest level barely had them spinning, so we sweated every night. It was a little miserable. We asked the management about the warnings and they seemed to downplay it. We also asked the maintenance person about it and he definitely did not downplay it. He said the area is not safe and that there have been break-ins. We weren't sure who to believe. Then one of our last night's there, we went out to dinner and left the living room and dining room lights on, as well as the TV, to make it look like we were there. We came home to all the lights and the TV turned off! Clearly someone had come in while we were gone, although nothing appeared to be missing. There was no power outage - all the clocks were still on - so that didn't account for everything being turned off. We called the after hours line and they did seem to take us seriously and said they'd look at camera footage. However, we never heard back from them. Finally, the parking spots are tiny and many nights there weren't any available on the level closest to the condos.
So just be warned that those are issues at this property. However, again, the location is unbeatable. And the inside of the condo is well cared for, other than needing new fans. We did enjoy our time in the Poipu area and will be back, but will likely look for a unit on the third or fourth floors!
