Castle Poipu Shores

The apartment was spacious and relatively clean. There was sufficient parking. The location on the shore was good. Overall I liked the apartment. The TV was small and there was no air conditioning or fans.

Unfortunately, the walk to a decent beach (the poipu park beach and not the little wash, Brennecke's Beach, that doesn't really count in my estimation, was substantial in the summer heat. You will will want to drive to it from the hotel. Also, the hotel does not provide any beach equipment. You will need to rent everything from the Poipu Beach park.

My friend and I stayed here together. Plenty of space for both of us. We had our own bedrooms and bathrooms. The view is incredible. You can see sea turtles swimming. The beach is directly on the property doesn’t have sand, only rocks, but Brennecke beach is a short 5 minute walk away. There are plenty of other beaches on the island you will want to see, but we were lucky to see sea turtles and a seal at this one. The pool felt great! The staff was very friendly and responded promptly to our requests.

The parking spaces are very small and can be dangerous. Be mindful when parking and backing out! There is no AC. It was fine for me, but I could see how it may be uncomfortable for others. You’ll want to close the windows at night because the sea is very loud, but this also makes it warmer in the room. There are, however, ceiling fans that cool well.

Can't get more oceanfront. Watching the waves crash against the rocky shore just below the lanai was endlessly fascinating. The master bedroom has the same views. I liked the pool quite a lot too, directly above the water and with great sunset views. Most of it is quite deep, which is a plus for me although it may not be for some. My unit was well equipped with kitchen supplies and a nice selection of books and games. It's an easy walk to Brennecke Beach and Poipu Beach Park.

No AC and I wish I could have increased the ceiling fan speed, as it got a bit stuffy even with the trade winds blowing. Also I wasn't a fan of the floor to ceiling full length mirrored wall in the main room, although I get that it makes it look bigger.

Loved the location and ability to watch the turtles from our balcony. Everything you could need for the beach(umbrella, chairs, water shoes, snorkel gear)was in the closet and available to use. Could easily walk to the beach which had decent snorkeling, a great sunset view, and a great spot to watch the turtles come into shore for the evening.

I wasn't a fan of the carpeting in our unit or the bed. A newer pillow top mattress and hard floors throughout would easily make this a 10.

the position was fantastic, front ocean with a beautiful view of sunset, very close (5 min walk) from Poipu Beach, very ample apartment, very well furnished kitchen, comfy beds, two bathrooms, a nice outside space to have breakfast and enjoy the sunset

the furniture is a little bit dated, but everything is functional

So close to the ocean and sea turtles. The roaring sound upon waves hitting the rocks was sleep inducing. It was also close to pool

No air conditioning and we only received 1 key to pool and gate, making it difficult to go separate ways.

The dishwasher did not appear to function optimally. We found dishes in the cupboard that weren’t especially cleaned and had a soapy residue requiring us to hand wash them prior to use

The view was incredible

We visited at a very hot time. I missed having ac to come back to and get away from the humidity. I know ac is not common on the island though.

Great location, the appartement is well equipped with everything you need for a vacation, the stuff are very nice

No air conditioner makes it hard to sleep if you suffer from the heat and humidity

Help. Michael was very good. To us and caring for property
