Nicely appointed house in a great location, but note lack of A/C
Lots of things to love about this house, just be mindful of the lack of A/C.
The house is in a quiet neighborhood a short walk to the Grand Hyatt, which is a beautiful resort with amazing views and a great (albeit pricey) option to have a meal when you don't feel like cooking or getting in the car.
The property is also walking distance or a short drive to multiple beaches, including the very kid-friendly Poipu Beach Park.
The house is spacious and nicely appointed and equipped with high-quality appliances and utensils. There are tons of beach towels and a sufficient amount of bathroom towels given that there is also a washer and dryer. Things like shampoo, body wash, dishwasher and laundry detergent were also present although I imagine the quantities may vary based on how much the last occupants leave behind.
The somewhat negative surprise for us came a couple of days before we left on our trip when we read in some of the reviews (didn't see this in the property description) that the property does not have A/C. This concerned us not so much for ourselves but primarily because of our kids, and those concerns ended up being not entirely unfounded.
It is true that there generally was a nice breeze in the area, so that if we opened windows and turned on all of the fans, the heat was manageable for the most part. However, most nights it barely dropped below 80 outside, so our kids' room stayed well above 80 given their early bedtime. This was pretty uncomfortable.
