Almost Excellent
True, the rental is spacious and spotless and well appointed with everything you will need. True the location is in a high end neighborhood and very convenient to Poipu and all the area has to offer. A minor tick off on location because the rental is above the garage and just steps from the entrance to the main house...and the family (rightfully) uses those spaces, a lot, at all hours, and sometimes with grinding equipment and loud conversations. Further, to have privacy the blinds need to be lowered, blocking those fabulous breezes which would otherwise come through the generous length of windows on all sides of the apartment. A tick-off on accuracy of posting because the exterior photos show the street view before it was built out. There are no longer undeveloped expanses beyond the patio. Large houses with similar garage-top rentals now line the road across the street. Finally, a minor tick-off with the interior because there are no reading lights around the sitting furniture...you have to rely on the overhead lights which at least are dimmable. A floor light or table lamp near the chairs or across the broad sitting area near the couch nook would add function and a cozier feel. (But yay to reading lights on both nightstands !). Finally, I should point out that it was the weekend when we stayed here and because I was sick, we were mostly at home. I don't fault the occupants of the main house...they need to do their home activities on the weekends.
