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.

Great home. Clean and was well equipped with beach gear. Nice bathroom. Good location to the beaches and generally to most of the popular eats in South Shore. Would stay again.

We stayed at the Dolphin Unit and absolutely LOVED our time. The location was perfect for walking to the beach and most of our activities were just a short distance away. We could see the ocean from our living room and thoroughly enjoyed the upscale amenities! 10/10 would stay here again!!

The location was incredible. It was a super short walk from Poipu Beach. There was a lot of love put into the property. There’s a gigantic smart flat screen TV in the living room. We loved logging into a streaming service on the smart flat screen TV in the bedroom and watching movies in bed. 2 people can shower in the bathroom at once and you can turn on music and even watch TV in the shower. The property was super clean. I think there’s something wrong with the bathroom pipes because the bathroom started smelling after we’d been there a while. The neighbors are a little odd and will talk to you when you take out the recycling so I suggest taking out your recycling at the end of the stay.

This property is in an ideal location- quiet, and walkable to the beach (Poipu and Shipwreck) …10-15 min both ways. The unit is comfortably sized for 1-4 people with a large living room, w/d, and full kitchen. The bathroom was upgraded generously with a lot of tech features - fan/mirror lighting/luxury toilet/double showers/shower tv. However we had terrible ant/pest issues and this had happened after one night’s stay where the unit was still very clean and no food left out. We consulted property managers, they brought pest bait but it didn’t resolve the issue. We asked for more support but they asked us to wait it out. We also encountered lizards and massive cockroaches that made their way into our unit (our door was never left open unattended). The property had communal use beach equipment and managers who dealt with customer relations were very pleasant to talk to. For the amount we were asked to pay, I felt like the pest issue could have been handled better or resolved before we came to stay (apparently it’s a known issue). The parking spot is cosy and nestled next to the unit, on a steepish slanted hill.
