Our hosts were very helpful both before our arrival as well as during our stay. The 3 bed/2 bath unit was clean, neat and the kitchen was well stocked with appliances, dishes, and everything our family needed for our 8 day stay. They had a beach wagon and coolers plus beach chairs for all 5 of us which was greatly appreciated. Having a full size washer and dryer in the unit was super helpful. Excellent value!

Looks small in the pictures but it is a very spacious ground floor condo. Walk right out of your slider and down to the pool. It fit our family of 6 so great. Everything was so clean and so nice. Well stocked kitchen gadgets and plates. Everything you need to stay. We got in real late and we were able to have our Instacart order delivered and put in the fridge before we arrived. Walk down to the ocean and you can watch the sun rise in the morning and set in the evening. Highly reccomend this place!

This 3b2b is just right for us and our two adult children. Lots of space for all of us to stretch out. The basic necessities are all there if you want to cook and do laundry. I cooked a very simple Thanksgiving dinnerFor 4 people. Both Shipwreck and Poi’pu beaches are 15-16 mins walk. All required beach gear were provided. The food options were not that close except for Brenneke which is not that great either food wise or service. The dishwasher needs a thorough cleaning. Some cups were not washed and placed back into the cupboard. Overall, a nice location and place to stay.

Check in and out was easy. The location was great. The place had lots of beach gear that was super helpful. Overall it was a wonderful stay. It was a little bummer that there was construction right outside our door that we didn't know ahead of time was going to be happening. And the bathroom slider door seems to be off track or broken. As it was difficult to move and very load when you did. But even with these bummers, we still had a great time and it wouldn't stop us from staying here again.

We celebrated a family member's 50th birthday in Kauai. There were six of us and our accommodations were fantastic. We had everything we needed in the condo with plenty of room. The location is very convenient to whatever we needed or wanted to do. Hope we can get back next year!

What a great place to stay. Lots of room for six adults; but roll out couch wasn't as comfy for our 7th person. Loved being so close to the ocean!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this condo unit. It's a very clean unit, well equipped and the development grounds are beautiful and well kept. The location was perfect for us. The pool, and ocean views are just steps away. Poipu Beach and restaurants are a stroll or short drive. The use of beach equipment and a wagon were a real plus!

This gem is nestled in the perfect spot! A walking trail leads you to Shipwrecked Beach and you can easily walk along the road to Poipu Beach Park in the opposite direction. Although we drove to the beaches when we were going to set up camp but being able to walk to see a sunset is perfect! The unit was welcoming and served our family well. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare dinners. We enjoyed eating and playing games at the dining room table. Sitting on the lanai was very relaxing in the morning. Our sons enjoyed walking to the scenic lookout and watching the crashing waves along the cliffs just steps from the unit. The pool and spa were very refreshing and nice in the evening when you wanted to unwind after a day at the beach. The air conditioning units work amazing! The beds were comfortable. We truly appreciated having the washer and dryer. This is a wonderful place to stay! Recommendations: Tunnels Beach, located in north shore, has the best snorkeling. Parking is limited so get there early (8am)! Brennecke’s Shaved Ice in Poipu was the best and Lampert’s Ice Cream in Poipu was super tasty!

Places was great. More than enough room for my family of 6. Ground floor made it convenient going to the pool. Great views of the ocean, very close to Poipu Beach

The condo had a good amount of space, making it comfortable for a large family. However, the queen room had a strong urine smell that was hard to ignore. We ended up purchasing air fresheners in order improve its small. The main bathroom also had that small. The kitchen was very basic. The water pressure was poor and hot water in the showers were inconsistent. We were also disappointed with the limited pool hours, the fact that we were allowed access at 9am which seems late.

We enjoyed the location and amenities of this rental. Overall we gave it 4/5 given the condition of rental from a cleanliness standpoint wasn't the best. It certainly wasn't a dealbreaker or worth raising concerns over. The pocket and sliding doors could use some good maintenance. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this condo for one week, and loved every minute of it. Simple check-in process, condo was very clean, lots of space, and we appreciated the a/c!! Just steps to the pool, and the most amazing ocean view. We couldn't have asked for anything more. If we ever come back to Kauai, I would book this property again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful condo & grounds, great location. This place has a very practical set-up for families & extended families, and everything you need to feel at home. Meticulously clean, a beautiful pool and grilling area, and lovely patio to relax on. Perfect!

The condo grounds were beautiful. The condo itself is nicely situated near the ocean lookout, pool, and BBQ. There is a walking path nearby that takes you towards the Grand Hyatt and you are within walking distance to Poipu Beach. The kitchen had most everything we needed, the AC was a huge plus, the in unit washer/dryer were perfect (especially with the weather, wet towels don't seem to dry, it was nice to throw them in the dryer when we got back) and the ground floor lanai is nice to relax. Only downside for us was the bed/pillows, both weren't very comfortable for our liking.

Overall terrific stay at this condo. Short walk to Poipu Beach and the Grand Hyatt. Kitchen and bathrooms well stocked so didn't need to purchase anything except food. Lots of beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys which was great. Only down side to this unit is no privacy for the master bedroom. It is fairly open to the living room and shares a bathroom with one of the other bedrooms.

Condo is exactly as advertised. Well-stocked kitchen. Very responsive host. Great beaches and hiking trails nearby. The cliff-side hiking trail was a favorite sunrise activity - with visible whales. The lookout point on the property was beautiful too.

Overall the unit was as advertised and provided our family of 5 lots of space. We loved having all of the beach items that came with the rental (snorkel gear, boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, umbrella...)! The kitchen was fully stocked and also kid friendly with plastic cups, plates, bowls. We had one question about where to find parking passes and owners responded instantly to our text and also email during our stay to ensure everything was going well. Location is also great with a short drive to Poipu Beach, hiking trails along the beach, and lots of restaurant options with 5-10 minute drive. Highly recommend!

The condo looked exactly like the pictures online. It was spotless! It had so many amenities…especially if you have young children (we did not). There are plenty of beach toys, and towels. Also extremely roomy. There’s a beautiful pool and hiking trails nearby. The owners were very responsive! We really enjoyed our stay and time in Kauai. I would definitely stay again!

We had the best time in Poipu! The condo was fabulous! The location of the complex and the specific unit was perfect! The patio is close to the pool and the entrance to the unit easy to access and not up flights of stairs! The host was easy to contact and reached out after we arrived with a cell number! Book this unit, it was amazing. Well stocked, clean and comfortable!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Makahuena. The condo was clean and a perfect fit for our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 younger kids). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool was right outside our door and enjoyed by everyone in our group. The condo was also very close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants.

We loved our time in this condo! Family of 6 and we had plenty of room, well stocked and clean. The location can't be beat in Poipu, you are literally 30 yards from the patio to the cliffs overlooking the ocean and easy 15 min walk to the beach. Property manager was attentive but we didn't really need anything, everything was as it should be. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Everything was as stated. Place was clean and welcoming. Had all the starter amenities so we didn’t have to run out right away. It was a great location near beaches - you could walk to two within 15 minutes (you can see from the grounds). Restaurants nearby as well. Try a puka dog! Went to Friendly Waves for lunch. Both close by. Definitely would stay here again!!

The condo is exactly like the pics, beautiful, clean, and spacious. The kitchen is stocked with all the pots, pans, cooking utensils… we cooked dinner almost every night and found everything we needed. The sliding doors open up to the grassy area surrounding the pool, and has a great view. The outdoor areas are very well maintained with grills to bbq, lawn chairs for whale watching, benches for sun set and beautiful flowers surrounding. One of the beach chairs was broken when we arrived, within a few hours a new chair was delivered to us, great customer service!! We will definitely go back!

Our group of 4 adults and two children under 8 had a very enjoyable stay. We found everything we needed in the kitchen and prepared most of our meals there. It was great to have 3 bedrooms so we could all have our own space. The washer and dryer were wonderful and used often by our group. The kids enjoyed the sand buckets and shovels and it was a plus to also have beach chairs and a wagon to transport them all to the beach. We all enjoyed the salt water pool but wished it had been heated. The hot tub provided a nice warm up! Location was near beaches and restaurants. We would consider returning to this condo if we return to Kauai.

We were in town for a conference at the Grand Hyatt but wanted more space for our family (2 parents, 2 kids & nanny). This was a perfect fit. It was an easy, beautiful walk to the Hyatt for the conference and close to Poipu beach (turtles!). We appreciated having 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms- plenty of room to spread out. All the beds were quite comfortable and we felt quite at home. The kitchen was well equipped for a VRBO & the unit had lots of extras (snorkel gear, sand castle gear, stroller, wagon, beach chairs..) We also liked the first floor lanai adjacent to the grass with plenty of room for the toddlers to run around while we relaxed and took in scenic views of the ocean and the whales in the distance.

We really enjoyed our stay. You can't beat the location, and we loved watching the sunrises and sunsets. I've pointed out a few issues to the property managers, the main ones being concerns about some blinds, and that the unit could use a deep cleaning. Hopefully they'll address these because this would otherwise be a wonderful place for a family vacation.
