We were so pleased with our week at the house with 6 adults and 3 kids (1, 1 & 4)! Beautiful and convenient location, and the property itself was amazing.
There were no reviews when we booked, but we were SO happy with our stay. I like seeing those extra details in reviews before purchase, so while I don't usually leave long reviews, I'll pass along what I wanted to know & a few things we particularly appreciated, especially with little kids:
- It's hard to tell on VRBO maps, but it is a 5-minute walk, if that, to Brennecke's beach (great for bogey boarding!) and another 2 minutes to cross the park to get to Poipu. Poipu has "baby beach" with calm, shallow waters, and there's a little playground at the park! Or just past that there's good snorkeling, or surfing. Any beach activity within 10 min! It was amazing to be able to walk over for an hour or two and then head back to the house, for lunch, naps, etc. The flexibility and convenience alone were worth it.
- You can see and hear the ocean from the patio!
- The table outside easily fit our group of 9 and was great for sharing meals together.
- This pool was one of the few rental properties I saw with a fence available (a must-have for our little ones who can't swim!), and I loved the layout with very comfortable lounge furniture in the shade for those who wanted to hang out but not swim while others were in the pool.
- Furniture was SO comfortable, I was especially impressed with the beds and sheets, which are often not great at rental properties. This might be because they're new, but you can tell they are high quality, too.
- A very kid-friendly property overall, I appreciated even the little details like the outlets having covers!
- They had an abundance of both bath and pool/beach towels.
- Kitchen was very well stocked with appliances. Two different coffee machines - Keurig or drip, tons of pots and pans, dutch ovens, a kettle, a rice cooker, an immersion blender, and more.
- Note: I think for safety there are no spices, oils, or anything left behind from previous renters. There was only salt and pepper, and a gifted bag of coffee (another nice touch!).
- Beach gear: they have 2 large coolers, a big wagon (so helpful!), and a ton of chairs (8?). No toys or other gear, but easy to rent at Poipu.
- Alekona/Jessica was so responsive and easy to work with!
I hope this answers any questions you might have because this place is amazing! You won't regret it!
