The view and the AC made this VRBO worth it. However, after spending time on Kauai (it was my and my boyfriend’s first time), I wish we would’ve stayed on the North Shore. Poipu is definitely in the heart of the resort area of the island with lots of kid-friendly, crowded beaches. Since it’s where all the resorts are, the prices for food and shopping are higher - and the food options are more catered toward tourists while abandoning some of the more traditional local cuisine. The beaches on the north shore were nicer, less crowded, and more accessible to the hikes. It takes a long time to drive from the south to north shore as the roads are only on the perimeter of the island with no road straight through, so if you’re hoping for more of a couples getaway experiencing more of the local culture, I would recommend checking out places on the north shore. Otherwise, this VRBO was awesome - only other pitfall was that it was short of some supplies. For example, the batteries in some of the remotes went out but there weren’t spares provided, and we only had two beach towels to last us a whole week. The space was very nice though and a great place to return to after long days of adventuring!
