Poipu Hale Pono Ocean View By Suite Paradise

Pros:Location was close to the beach, within walking distance and close to local shopsHouse was clean and well appointed with kitchen dishware, cooking tools, utensilsLayout was nice for kids that can sleep independently Lots of full bathrooms on each floor for convenience Spacious, brightLots of comfortable seating (kids particularly loved the swiveling love seat and lazy boy)Lots of outdoor space for dining/loungingCons:The house is right on a corner with more traffic than I expected. The headlights from cars shines right into the bedrooms at night and was kind of disruptive for sleeping (may I recommend blackout curtains?)The garage had a strong gas or burnt rubber smell that seeped into the adjoining hallway and nearest bedroom AC is only in the bedrooms and not in the shared spacesThe master bathroom shower water temperature was not adjustable AT ALL. we were ok w/ the scorching hot water but it sucked to not have an option to adjust it. The front door lock was a huge pain in the @ss. The check in clerk warned us about this and we ended up having to call maintenance to come and let us in and show us how to work it. She mentioned that it was a reoccurring issue. All bathrooms come w/ “conditioning shampoo” and no actual conditioner. I was annoyed that i had to go to the store for something that should be provided at these prices. Individually these things might not bother me, but collectively, i felt slightly annoyed at multiple points of each day

I came out with my fiancé for our wedding. We had 4 of our children ranging in ages from 12 to 19. This place was amazing! There was plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of restrooms and all the amenities were absolutely perfect. The location was awesome and everything was close by. It is definitely a place we will stay at again in the future! Love it!!

This was by far my most favorite place I have ever stayed, even better than a resort. The house was impeccably clean and fresh, and they provided us with more than enough towels (bath, hand, face, and beach) for the week. The neighborhood was great, very short walking distance to the Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach. Super close drive to everything else on the south shore. I very much appreciated the two packets of coffee to start us off before we could go get groceries, and the laundry pods and dishwashing detergent they provided. The ladies at the check in counter were also very courteous and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here, we felt very at home as a family of five with three kids 11 and under! (Oh the only thing I forgot to tell them was that the coffee grinder doesn’t work, just FYI, you might want to get a new one) Mahalo!

Positive: The property was clean and well maintained. It is in a nice area close to the beach and several resorts and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked with dishware, utensils and cookware and the television and internet worked well. The BBQ grill was nice. The access to the neighborhood fitness center (about a mile away) was a plus. Negative: The two beds in one bedroom were very small twins only suitable for small children. They were not good for our two six four plus tall sons. The house did not have furniture on many of the exterior patios. There was no air conditioning in the main house (only the bedrooms). The house had very limited cleaning supplies (one roll of paper towels and one small sponge) and none of the items we typically expect to find in this type of fully furnished short term vacation rental. For example, there were no storage bags, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, oil, non-stick spray or spices. Salt and pepper was provided in two tiny packages similar to what you might receive with an airplane meal. Beach chairs were provided but there was no cooler or beach toys (except boogie boards).
