Poipu Kai Resort

My EX and i went here a few years ago. We went in November and the weather was fantastic! Our condo faced the ocean, so the view was awesome! And being from the desert, I adored the sound and smell of the ocean!
Going to Hawaii was already pushing our budget a little, so renting a place where I could cook our meals was ideal. And that condo was ideal for us. The whole placed was very well equipped — washer, dryer, tv, 2 bedrooms and THE KITCHEN, oh yes, it was so perfect! Stove, Frig, MW, DW, coffeemaker, toaster, pots, pans, dishes, utensils. Had to make a run to the local market right away, but that was the plan anyway. The patio had a little BBQ, which we appreciated. My only gripe was that they had drained the pool and were doing some maintenance. I was HUGELY disappointed by that. But they offered to move us to another location and when we checked == the other locations did not compare to what we had, so we stayed.
Right up the road, there’s a local market with lovely fresh produce and seafood. We had talked about going to Hawaii for almost 15 years, so it was long overdue. I see why people change their lives and just plain move there.. .. .. .…it’s a lovely location. Warning, speed limits are very low.

We rented a condo at Popip Sands at Poipu Kai and were very pleased with our selection. The location was ideal — right next to Shipwreck Beach — so close that you could hear the waves rolling in day and night, especially when you were chilling it on the nicely furnished lanai and enjoying the ocean view.
The condo was huge and furnished with everything you could want for your vacation, including coolers, beach chairs, umbrellas, etc. I don’t cook on vacations, but do want to be able to make some snacks or toast a muffin for breakfast, as well as brew coffee and have a place for my wine and beer! The kitchen was very well equipped with all the tools you would need to cook a gourmet meal. Fortunately we only needed the coffee maker, blender and toaster!
I have never slept in such a comfy bed on vacation. I was almost reluctant to drag myself away on our last day. There was ample closet space and since we had 1.5 bathrooms, I had plenty of room to spread out my stuff in «my» bathroom!
There was plenty of parking, gorgeous tropical planting everywhere, and the pool, which we used a couple of times was sparkling and clean. Plenty of umbrellas and lounge chairs too, and also an outdoor shower. The resort also had several gas bbq’s around if you wanted to grill.
The only negatives is that the place didn’t have a/​c and it got a little warm in the living room, even with the doors/​windows open and the ceiling fans on. And since we were watching a lot of TV (the Giants/A’s were on) a larger, HDTV, would’ve been appreciated.

Hubby and I were originally supposed to get a studio cottage, but were bumped up to a 2-​bedroom condo when they ran out of space. The condo was lovely: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full kitchen.
