We have stayed at the Crater many times, quiet, well kept, good location and nicely done grounds keeping.

All is wonderful

The garden view from the deck was amazing. We spent a lot of time out there and ate every meal there watching the birds and the beautiful garden.

First the positives. Very lush green area in a crater outside of the main drag of Poipu. What this means is it is quiet. However what it also means is you have to treck to the beach to see the sunset or sunrise. Not terrible. You just should know are literally in a crater. You are also in an area where the owners don’t seem to like the renters. Some annoyances is that they advertise a hottub but there isn’t one and at least our unit could not goto the Poipu club. When I asked about both these things. I was just ignored which I found somewhat strange. The unit itself had a nice covered balcony and they had a nice living room. A lot of cob webs around the unit and the windows were really dirty. Tried to use the tennis court but it was so old and buckled we had trouble with it. So to say. For the price the unit has a lot of room and a great patio. But the units features and grounds are dated sometimes in a charming way and sometimes just too old. Features like outside lighting are so low you can see your food. But again. I think overall we were content with the quiet and the greenery. With some cleaning, outdoor lights on the deck, tennis renewal and correction on the hottub issue it would really be worth it. It would be nice if someone answered my questions though.
