Overview
A closer look
About this property
From walls of glass and open green to a private pool, spa, and room for fourteen, the details below show how Makani Kai comes together.
Indoor-Outdoor Living
The whole ground floor is built to open. Slide back the glass and the great room, the lanai, and the pool/spa run together into one space, the kind where the afternoon drifts outside without anyone deciding to move it. Beyond the deck the land falls away into open green, bright and uninterrupted, with room for the sky to open up at the end of the day. Ceiling fans turn overhead in nearly every room, and central air keeps the house cool when the south-shore sun is at full strength.
Chef-Ready Kitchen
The kitchen is the room that earns its keep. A waterfall-edge island runs down the middle with seating along one side, a pro-style range handles a crowd, and a walk-in butler's pantry swallows the overflow so the main counters stay clear. The long dining table under a run of pendants, close enough to the island that whoever is cooking never gets left out. This is a kitchen for people who came to eat together, not to take turns.
Room to Spread Out
Indoor and outdoor living spaces give the house its range: one to gather the whole group in front of the TV, one to slip away with a book while the noise carries on elsewhere. Off the main house, a separate one-bedroom guest house keeps its own front door and full bath, a place for whoever wants a little distance from the main floor. With five ensuite bedrooms across the property and a laundry room built for a full house, fourteen people share the space without living on top of each other. The layout suits large groups and gatherings.

Nearby
Kukui'ula sits on Kauai's south shore, the island's driest and sunniest corner. The beaches are a short drive: Poipu Beach, where green sea turtles often rest on the sand, and Shipwreck Beach for a longer stretch of sand under sandstone bluffs. Old Koloa Town and its shave ice stands are close by. Lihue Airport (LIH) lies north, an easy drive when it is finally time to leave.

By evening the glass doors are still open, the pool has gone glassy, and the green outside deepens toward dusk. Take the far sofa or the lanai, and let Kauai's south shore do the rest.
