This property was ok. It needs some TLC and upgrading. There is a fan in the downstairs bedroom attached to a chain that was filthy!

The location and grounds around the condo are very nice, short distance to the beach. The pool is clean, though we didn't use it much. The best thing about the condo is the space - fairly large rooms and space to move around. The lanai is also lovely (though our sliding doors didn't lock). However, this particular unit desperately needs updating. The walls are dingy, decor drab and dated, rusty shower curtain rods (which we found out about after hanging clothes and it rubbing off, trying to avoid hanging anything outside as instructed), fixtures super cheap, wobbly dining table with dingy paper towels stuck underneath, etc, Most of these things are aesthetic, but for the price, I recommend looking for a unit that has been renovated more recently.

A two bedroom, two bathroom, two storey duplex in a good compound with a swimming pool and tennis court, all walking distance to Poipu beach.

For most things in the VRBO, I would say they were either "fine", or "poor". It was pretty dirty when we got there, there was a dead cockroach on the floor, and in general, it's pretty tattered. None of this would've made our trip to HI poor, but it definitely wasn't what I was hoping for when paying nearly $3k for a week's stay. Especially when there is a $200+ cleaning fee that we pay for, which obviously isn't used effectively. If this place would've been half the price, it would've made sense, but it was priced in the same range as much better-looking accommodations (having seen our friend's place while we were there). The beds were pretty old, the bathrooms weren't in great shape, and there was a bad smell in the kitchen and downstairs laundry room. It seems like they spent more money on the photographer than the actual upkeep of the apartment. If you're looking for a bed to sleep in, with a roof over your head, relatively close to the beach, then this is your spot. If you are looking for anything else (nice accommodations, good view, updated appliances for cooking, etc.) then you better look somewhere else.

We had a great time at this property! Nice layout and good location. Equipped with everything we needed for a week. Brian the property manager was friendly and accessible. Location was about 10 min walk to the beautiful beach and park

My family and I LOVED this unit and Poipu Crater as a whole. The unit is big, the lanai is amazing and so private. The landscaping around the pool was beautiful and made it easy to spend hours there while my daughter played in the water. Would definitely stay here again.

Because of the crater nature the sound between units was very audible especially when on the lanie.

The townhome at Poipu Crater was great. The lanai was so quiet: perfect place to eat breakfast and to have a cold drink after a full day. I would love to come back.

We enjoyed this spacious townhouse, especially the big private lanai. It was a great location to explore the south coast. The unit was clean and comfortable had what we needed for our stay. The property manager was very responsive and helpful and promised to look into a couple of issues we had with appliances. One little disappointment for me with aging joints, which I should have realized as it's in a "crater" - it's quite steep to walk down to the pool area and amenities area.
