Makahuena 1102 is a laidback, ground floor getaway in the midst of all that Poipu has to offer. Make yourself at home in the open and spacious living, dining and kitchen area, and enjoy two large, comfortably furnished bedrooms. You'll also find two full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, and a dedicated work space just off the kitchen. From your sizable private lanai you can take advantage of the tropical weather by stretching out on one of the sun loungers for an afternoon nap, or enjoying a meal at the outdoor dining area.
Location-wise you'll find yourself at the perfect base camp for all your South Shore adventures. Brennecke's Beach, great for snorkeling and boogie boarding, is only a ten minute walk, as is the popular (and lifeguarded) Poipu Beach. Sea turtles and Hawaiian monk seals are often spotted on both beaches, which is always exciting for adults and kids alike! For the avid golfers, the Poipu Bay Golf Club is ten minutes walking from your front door. Or, if you're looking to be a bit more pampered, the Anara Spa is just a short walk away on the Grand Hyatt grounds. You'll also want to jump into the vibrant local food scene; the Poipu Shopping Village and Kukui'ula Shopping Center, both located just 5 minutes away driving, have something to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. Bubba's Burgers is a classic island favorite, and you'll never go wrong with shave ice from Uncle's. Old Koloa Town, again just a 5 minute drive away, offers charming and picturesque boutique shopping and dining options, as well as a farmers market every Wednesday. For the outdoorsy types, you can't visit the South Shore without seeing the absolutely incredible Waimea Canyon, nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Trust us, it's really that cool!
If you want a more low-key vacation, the Makahuena grounds are perfectly suited for a laidback staycation. Spend the day at the pool and hot tub, host a barbecue in the picnic area, or play a couple of pick-up tennis matches at the on-site courts. Everything you need for a great vacation is already here, including the incredible ocean views!
Want to make your way around the rest of the island? Drive time to the North Shore (Princeville, Hanalei, Kilauea) is roughly 1 hour, and to the East Side (where the airport is located) is 30 minutes.
As with most homes on Kauai, this vacation rental is NOT air conditioned, however there are ceiling fans in each room and screen doors on the lanai to help with airflow.
Please note that while this is a ground floor unit with no stairs, the ramp that leads to the condo's front door can be quite steep for some guests.
Although this home has internet, the speed and reliability cannot be guaranteed due to the remote location and the service being provided by a third-party.

I was overall disappointed with this stay. Both bedrooms had hair in the beds, and the space overall didn’t appear clean. During our 2-night stay, one shower door and the patio door both got off track and couldn’t be used. The laundry left our clothes musty and seemed dirtier than when we put them in.The property itself was nice with beautiful views and a 15-minute walk to Poipu Beach. This was our third visit to Hawaii and the most expensive for only two nights, yet the other places we stayed were much cleaner. We didn’t want to spend much time here due to cleanliness, which was disappointing since it was the end of our trip and we were hoping to relax. It felt like the property was quickly turned over without much attention to detail.I contacted management about the issues and received a few respectful responses, but they mostly asked for more pictures and claimed the door wasn’t broken when they checked. We didn’t take pictures of the hair, as we were trying to make the most of our time and overlook the issues. I thought compensation was warranted but have received no further response. It’s been two weeks, so I’m unsure if I’ll hear back.Overall, I wouldn’t stay here again. On the plus side, the instructions were clear, and the space mostly matched the listing aside from cleanliness. The views and location were nice, but for 500 per night with fees, it wasn’t worth it.

Great location on South Shore. Beautifull view of ocean from ground floor patio. Walking distance to several beaches. Condo met expectations for our stay and price.

Over all was a nice place, and nice area. We felt safe. On arrival we did have some issues with the refrigerator water not working. The staff was informed and they set up a time for it to be fixed after our stay. Which we were thankful for.
The washer was very loud and our keypad lock stopped working. Wished the pool area didn’t have a time frame and that all units came with an AC since it could get very muggy and hot at night.
Wished there was a better emergency contact number when our keypad stopped working. It happen at night and we had to call the mainline which was closed and then wait till the recording gave us the emergency number instead of it just switching to an emergency line at a specific time.

We stayed on this property for about 2 weeks. There is plenty of space for a small family. The view from the common areas is amazing and you even get an ocean view from the condo's lanai. The rental comes with beach chairs, beach towels, and beach blankets. The in-unit laundry was a plus.
