The Makahuena never disappoints! Peaceful environment, super clean and accommodating rooms, and absolutely beautiful views! I stayed here for 10 days in 2019 and had the best time ever. When my friends and I decided to plan our next trip to Kauai in 2025, I suggested we come back to the Makahuena and I'm so glad we did. Can't wait to come back!
Easy check in. Well stocked with beach/ocean equipment. Kitchen was very nice and well equipped. View of the ocean was spectacular. Great walking paths and recreational opportunities.
The host was helpful. And the condo was well stocked with necessary items. The condo was about a "C" rating - it is beginning to show its age and the whole unit needs to be refreshed - especially the woodwork. The shower curtain on the half-bath/laundry room in lieu of a broken pocket door was a non-starter for me. The sheets, while clean and serviceable are getting pretty thin.
walking distance to Poipu beach clean comfortable unit covenient location
The space was very clean and well appointed and the ocean views were beautiful.
This beautiful condo has a beautiful easterly view of the Pacific. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony with a cocktail and watch the ocean. The complex has a wonderful view and a popular place with benches to watch the sunset. It is conveniently located to all activities on the southern shore and about an hours drive to Waimea Canyon. Breathtaking!
The condos are in a good location. It is close to Poipu beach and the cities of Poipu and Koala. Access to the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail. Good access to a sunset and sunrise. Sunrise can be viewed from patio, though homes are being built on the adjacent land that blocks view of the ocean. Grocery shopping should be done Lihue as most markets around have less options and higher cost. Parking is good and convenient. No elevators to get to upper units with luggage.
The owners of this condo need to spend a little money to upgrade if they are going to charge 500 per night. The so-called living room furniture was outdoor furniture that was extremely uncomfortable even my outdoor furniture at home is more comfortable and who wants to lay on a board to relax and watch some tv before bed? Also, the view is not like the picture since they are now doing construction outside the deck. The lock box is so rusty it barely works - took us forever to put the key back. This could be a nice condo if you improve the furniture and replace the lock box with a new one.
Clean, well-stocked unit. No issues with check-in. Pool and pool area was clean, not crowded. Beds were comfortable. Nice size TV with lots of options. Would stay here again.
Quiet, clean and close to beaches and restaurants. Good supply of spices and basic kitchen supplies. Stairwell light is funky because there are 3 switches for it. Would have been nice to know what streaming apps were included and how to access xable.
This was a great condo with beautiful views. The area is being developed, so it's not clear how long the views will be nice, but the property is great and while a bit aged (older appliances) the beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice. It's not easy to find a reasonably priced property in Poipu, and this property fits the bill!
We really enjoyed our stay here. Place was very nice and clean and inviting. Location was very nice and access to beach area and grocery stores. We will definitely recommend this place.
This was a very nice condo and a perfect area. We were minutes away from our dinners at the Grand Hyatt and minutes away from our favorite beaches, including Poipu. It was a nice and clean spot, and we would definitely stay here again. The construction didn’t bother us, but we usually spent all day at the beach and the workers were gone by the time we would get back from dinner. Easy check in and we were happy.
The condo is perfect for four people, whether all adults or with 2 kids that can share a bed. It is very well appointed. The owner really went out of their way to give you everything you need to have a great stay, including beach chairs, towels, boogies boards, coolers, and snorkeling equipment! The full size washer and dryer are an added plus! From the balcony you can absolutely see the ocean as well as from the master bedroom. **One thing to note that wasn’t a problem for us, but could be for others, the unit is on the third floor and there is no elevator. I can absolutely recommend and wish we could stay longer!
This condo was better than anticipated! Everything about it was comfortable! The kitchen was easy to use. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful with luxury bedding. It was so nice having laundry facilities. Would definitely rent again!
The condo was beautiful we loved sitting on the deck drinking coffee and having dinner the view was beautiful! Lovely time here thank you🍍
Property just as described. Lovely treats when we arrived. Great view although they are building in front of unit. We never had any issues with noise. Very quite complex. No parking issues. Very clean unit with beach floaties, toys for kids, games, and snorkel equipment. Super close to Shipwreck beach and Poipu beach.
Nice location. Very pleasant stay. All you need in a vacation stay.
What a great find! We loved the accomodations and more so the communication with management. The amenities are incredible, we also had a nice beach view. Easy to check in and out, everything you needed was there. We didn't get to enjoy the pool this time, but are returning in a couple months and will book the same room if possible. Mahalo
Positives: 1. The rental process was organized and seamless. 2. Good communication from the property managers. 3. Older unit but well maintained and clean. Very spacious. 4. Great location in Poipu. The only complaint I have is the "oceanfront view" is now mostly a construction view. Would not get this property for the view, but otherwise, was a great rental. Thanks for hosting us!
This is an older condo that has been well-maintained and has most everything you'll need for your stay - towels, beach chairs, snorkels, kitchen utensils and supplies. Only thing missing was a coffee grinder. The condo is located next to a beach trail that takes you in front of the Grand Hyatt and connects to the Mahalepu Beach Trail, which we walked almost daily. These are truly stunning beach cliffs. It's also walking distance to Brenneke's Beach and Brenneke's Restaurant with open windows looking out over the ocean. This was our first stay on the South shore and we truly enjoyed it. There are also many other good restaurants in the area. We were saddened that after we booked, they started building multi-million $ luxury homes on the land in front of our row of condos. There will still be an ocean view, just not as pristine and uncluttered as before. Occasionally the workers used heavy equipment at 7am, but most days this was not an issue. Overall, this was a great place to stay and the location provides good access to many of the places you'll want to go.
Such a lovely and well maintained property. The host went above and beyond by sharing a few welcome treats which was so appreciated after a long travel day. The beds were comfortable and linens were plentiful. They provided lots of beach accessories too.
This property was such a great find. We will definitely be back. Location was up the hill from the beaches but great view of the ocean and extremely quiet. Definitely walkable to the beach with great access to some amazing hikes. We saw several whales, dolphins and turtles from the balcony. Very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home.
Loved having space for all of us. The AC was much appreciated after a long day of sightseeing and the beach. Plenty of dish soap, laundry detergent, and even bathroom supplies. And the sunrise mornings were exactly what we needed. Thank you!
Unexpected active construction all day long , unfortunate. otherwise excellent
