Pomakai Doors with a surprise

I recently was asked to help a client find a condo in Poipu that would allow them to bring their beloved pet with them and what I found was very limited. Being a pet owner myself, I never realized how few condos allow pets and how few of those are actually active listings.
Mahalo Ilona for finding me a Poipu condo!
We did find this stunning Kahala Unit (MLS# 222645) in the Poipu Kai area that was a real winner. It has been recently remodeled and is one of the true 2 bedroom units in this large and beautiful complex. It is a ground floor unit and features upscale cabinetry, granite counters, glass block shower and is beautifully furnished. Currently a vacation rental property, it is managed by Aston, one of the on-site management companies.
Price: $675,000 ($-24,000)
