We spent three nights here with our two kids over Thanksgiving. I think we were in unit 7 on the ground floor, right side of the building. We had decent ocean views but best of all ground floor access to a huge grassy yard that the kids could play on that no one else seemed to be using.

The condo had two bedrooms and two full baths. Very spacious and clean. Well stocked kitchen etc. At $450 a night it should be! It's on a great beach and shares it with the Kea Lani Hotel. Strangely enough even though the hotel was packed and their side of the beach was wall to wall people, they didn't stray down to our side of the beach and we had lots of room.

The building has a medium size pool that no one seemed to be using. My kids really liked it. Nice BBQ area and lots of grassy areas for the kids to roam. It was clean and well kept.

One thing to point out is we never saw a single bug during our stay. We've spent a lot of time on the island and have seen our share of geckos, cockroaches, spiders, ants etc. So it was kind of weird not to see ANY critters even if we left food out. Some people might think this is a good thing but it made me wonder what kind of pesticides they use there. They must spray A LOT! My husband came across a gecko trap in the bushes with sticky paper that caught the lizards. Geckos are cherished in Hawaii as bug eaters and for good luck. It was sad to see them being destroyed as pests.

We usually rent private homes and like to have a lot of room to ourselves. We felt very comfortable at the Polo Beach Club and could see staying there again but only on the ground floor to have such easy access to the yard. On the right side of the building you face tall hedges so it feels very private. The BBQ area and pool are on the left side and those ground floor units wouldn't have the same feel.
