Place was easy to find, get into and stay at. Literally two minutes from Poipu Beach and could see and hear the ocean from the condo. Condo was nicely updated, comfortable and clean. Perfect for a relaxing get away. Close enough to main road for trips around the island. Overall, great place to stay and would love to return!

We had a great experience with this property/manager. All aspects (booking, location, access, communication) went like clockwork. The property was well maintained, quiet and in an excellent location. Snorkel equipment and beach chairs/towels were a nice surprise. Daytime temperatures in Dec/Jan were around 73 F (22 C) and we barely touched the air conditioning. The only drawback is the communal BBQ (a Weber Genesis which, as a side note, I also own back in Canada). For some reason, the communal BBQ couldn't get over 330 F. Certainly not a big issue - as long as you know, you can plan meals accordingly. Thank you!
This property is managed by a professional rental company not by owner. The company was congenial and quick to respond with any questions or concerns. We able not able to access the laundry room for a few days but they worked hard to resolve the situation. If choosing this rental be aware that the apartment like unit is located on the third floor and the VRBO service fee is charged separately. There also an additional fee to use a credit card as form of payment and alengthy contract. That being said the management company was good to work with. The keyless entry was appreciated. The outside unit looks fine, a little older, could be spruced up but the inside was clean and updated. Two Tommy Bahama beach chairs and four umbrellas and snorkeling gear was an added bonus, as well as split AC units in each room. I would stay here again and the location was fabulous!
Great location, close to beach park, restaurants & resorts. However, the property is not a resort nor a condo. Itâs a 8 unit apartment bldg in need of considerable maintenance. Unit had adequate cooking utensils & supplies however some utensils need to be replaced & most needed to be cleaned. Appreciated that broken beach chairs were replaced day after requested. Windows were filthy as noted by previous reviewer. I reported it early in my 20 day stay but they were never cleaned. Windows are old, didnât open or close easily & exterior window sills are rotting. Beds are uncomfortable, food was left in microwave, secondary shower head doesnât turn off & rubber shower door seal was left hanging over door for me to reinstall; fell off a couple times during stay. Guests should have access to broom & vacuum. BBQ function is limited, at best. Nice laundry. Would not stay here again.

First let me start off by saying that this is a nice condo in an excellent location. It's small but has everything you need. It's very clean and the beds are comfortable (sheets are amazing actually, very high thread count). But all of that was wiped out by the constant heat in the condo. It has great room air conditioners in every room which blew cold air but they just couldn't compete. We ran them 24/7 and that made it bearable enough but they are loud so it was hard to sleep. We brought our ear plugs so that made it easier. We just couldn't figure out why the condo wouldn't cool! At one point, my husband put his hand up on the ceiling in the bathroom and it was VERY hot so I'm guessing no insulation. If you are going in the winter when it's a bit cooler, this might be a great place. Like I said it's great in every other way but I can't recommend this place in the summer.

Condo was on the top floor (lots of stairs) but view was nice of the water. Small space but adequate enough . No really place to put beach gear, or hang laundry to dry (lots of rain while we were there). Wish it had a porch to enjoy the views better! Neighbor was a bit grumpy, and occasionally loud with herbal smell wafting over. No dishwasher (my fault for missing that in listing). Parking space was tight but nice to have covered spot. Overall ok rental for location.

The spacious and private apartment is in a great location, right near the beach and in walkable distance of restaurants, hiking trails and shops. The space was very well-equipped with anything we needed and the host was very responsive.

We enjoyed our stay in Poipu - we loved the proximity to the turtle resting spot. Not to mention the giant breaching whale show we got to see - I have never seen anything like it before. The parking was a little challenging with the support poles. The property served us well for cooking (we did see one giant cockroach but it kindly and quickly hid itself away - we understand this is a normal occurrence on the islands). The beds were soft (maybe a bit too soft for me). That said, we had a relaxing and fun vacation.

To start, I would like to give my genuine thanks for the attentiveness and patience Hawaii Life Rentals gave to my many questions and concerns regarding the stay and hawaii in general. They were quick to respond and provided so much useful information! This was my first real vacation with my parents and I really wanted everything as perfect as possible. The rental was clean, nice, and provided a lot of potential activities in walking distance for the Poipu area. Everything that was/wasn't provided was transparent so I was prepared when we got there. Check-in and checkout was simple! We were comfortable the entire time and my parents were happy!Other than the many stairs for my older parents (which I should've inquired about) and the door code not working sometimes, I have nothing really bad to say about this rental/owner. Thank you all so much, it was a great stay!

Stove fan blows the wrong way: Down on burners rather than drawing up, through filter and out. Need broiler pan.

This condo was great. It was within walking distance to the beach (maybe a block away) and you can see the beach from the livingroom window. The condo was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The night before we were to fly out, we got stuck on the road back to the condo for 3 hours. We knew we were going to get in late so I emailed to ask if we could have an extra hour to check out. In the morning, I got a call to let me know that we could have until noon to check out because they did not have another rental coming in and the housekeeper would rearrange the schedule. We were so happy to have that extra couple of hours. Would definately stay here again.
We loved the condo. It was very close to the beach, within walking distance and my family loved that. It was clean and had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The night before we were supposed to check it, we got caught in traffic due to a car accident and the highway was closed for four hours. We got back late and were not able to pack that night. I emailed Rene at 11:30 that night asking if we could have an extra hour to get stuff packed up the day we were supposed to leave. She called at 8:30 to let us know we could have until noon to check out. That helped so much and I could not thank them enough for being so accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.

Unit is best suited for a couple or 2 friends. No dining table for family to eat meals. Beautiful view of water, but windows and screens needed to be cleaned. Shower had 2 nozzle heads that continuously ran, using more water than necessary. Best part of unit is the location to Poipu beach for snorkeling and swimming.
This was a perfect location for us to make numerous trips to Poipu beach for snorkeling and jumping the waves. Unit was clean but we would have enjoyed the view more if the windows had been cleaned. Kitchen was well stocked and there were several beach items for us to use. The shower was large, but the 2 nozzles continued to spray from both sides of the shower, thus using more water than we needed. We were unable to close the valve for either nozzle. We did miss having a washer/dryer in the unit.

Poor exterior...too many spiders hanging around! We were afraid to open windows to enjoy the breeze. A/C unit in one bedroom had a drain issue that apparently canât be fixed. As for the interior, great! Honestly, I would not recommend this condo.

The property was not new but was in very good condition. It was clean, well furnished and comfortable. It is, of course, more than 100 steps from the beach - more like 200. We arrived after dark; there are literally no street lights and not many signs. Thank God I had a flashlight to read street names (none of which I can pronounce or spell). I recommend specific, detailed directions from the airport to condo. I was extremely lucky to find it.

There were two adults and two teen girls staying. Yin: Comfortable interior space and furniture. Well appointed. Good TV. Great view. Comfortable beds. Nice Kitchen and counter space. Easy access to the beach. Quiet neighbors. Yang: 3rd. floor with no elevator. No Lanai (patio) for outdoor sitting. One Bathroom. No central air conditioning-- one must drain the condensation pan of the in-room air conditioners. The Living Room became too hot by afternoon every day-- the A/C unit is ineffective until evening... it was more comfortable outside... this is where no Lanai comes into play. We would stay here again if it is only two of us.

Small condo - no room to sit down and eat a meal. Very tight fit. Parking spot was tight for a bigger car. Location very touristy.

The location was excellent! We rented the two bedroom which was nice! The kitchen living room was small as there was no room for all 4 of us to sit together for a meal, or play cards. We had to eat on at the counter and in the living room! They could have used more plates as there were only four in total. Several of the dishes had small chips and they did not have a dishwasher. They did have two beach chairs, and 4 sets of snorkels which was nice. Would recommend adding two more beach chairs, and adding some more dinner plates. They did provide some coffee to get us through the first morning which was nice! The walk to the beach was maybe two min. which was GREAT!!! The ocean view was Excellent! I would stay there again!
