Hawaii> Poipu
- 3 bedroom
- 3 bathroom
- Sleeps 6
Our condo faces southeast with an uninhibited view of the mountains, Shipwreck Rock, and, of course, the beautiful Pacific Ocean. In the winter months, you can watch whales breach right from our lanai!
The condo is on three levels. The first floor has a half bath, kitchen, dining, and living area, and of course, our lovely lanai. One of our special features on this floor is a side-cut window that allows for a commanding view of the ocean while one sits on the couch. No other unit at the Makahuena has this unique feature! The kitchen has all stainless steel appliances.
On the second floor is the master bedroom with a similar side-cut window that allows one to wake up with the ocean in sight. The master bedroom has been upgraded with new furniture and a premium mattress. The master bath has a walk-in shower with beautiful glass blocking and tile. Also on this floor is another bedroom with twin beds (which can be pulled together to make 1 Queen) and another full bath with a walk-in shower.
Our third-floor 'loft' has a queen size bed with an expansive window offering an unfettered view of the mountains and ocean. Although the 3rd floor is considered a 'loft', it does not fit the mold of traditional lofts. We appreciate the layout especially because the bedrooms are on different floors from the living area. It affords one some privacy and quiet while others may be socializing.
Please note, our condo does not have Air Conditioning. When you open the windows in our unit, the trade winds keep our unit nice and cool. We have fans in each room as well.
Our unit is located on the 3rd floor of the Makahauena. There are stairs leading to our unit and within the condo itself. There are no elevators.
It is a short walk to the meticulously maintained grounds at the Grand Hyatt Resort as well as to nearby beaches Brennecke's, Shipwreck, the protected waters of Baby Beach, and the famous Poipu Beach, which was named America's Best Beach by the Travel Channel.
For all of you thrill seekers, our condo is located near some of the best surf breaks on the south shore including PK's, Waiohai(rights and lefts), Left Lefts, and Brennecke's Beach, which is a great beach break for boogie boarding and body surfing! Also, make sure to check out the cliff jumpers at Shipwreck's Beach(you can see the cliff from our lanai!). Nukomoi Surf Co. in Poipu has some great boards to rent and some killer deals on week-long rentals....

The proper met our needs in cleanliness and comfort. It slept the six of us very comfortably and it was located in an area close to the beach and shopping. Although there was no air conditioning, the ocean breezes were definitely cool enough for comfort and ease for seeping. We were very satisfied with our time in this home.

Multiple flight of stairs to the unit. Three flights of stairs to the pool. No elevator, no cell service, beds were very old. Kitchen supplies are old and mis-matched. The unit was hot and humid even with all the fans running. This was my 6th visit to Kauai. Never again at this property.

It was an amazing place to stay. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets seen from the lanai. I would stay again. Only downfall, if you need something shipped to you, make sure you ask for the key to the mailbox ahead of time. I was unaware that I would not have access to the mailbox of the condo I rented for a week. I had my dress for a wedding I was attending shipped there and I could not access it since the key was in another state. To me, that just doesn’t make sense, the complex office should have a key for instances such as this. My dress matched my family perfectly and I had to wear something completely different because no one had access to the box. It was very upsetting. Other than that, the stay was great!

This Makahuena Unit made a comfortable headquarters for our Kauai adventures and explorations and was a destination in its own right. Most days started and ended on the lanai watching huge splashes from the waves against the rocks, clouds breaching the horizon, and Mynas, Nenes, and red-crested cardinals going about their business. Makahuena Point is breezy and having that airflow through the rooms kept the temperature pleasant. We did not lack a thing and there was space to be alone or gather for meals and games. Very special time for our family.

Beautiful views and great location. Needs upgrades and cleaned better. Not all electrical outlets were functional and some sparked when you plug in a devices. We stopped charging our devices at the location for fear it they would be fried. Some of the decor should be tossed as they show years of use. Beds were very uncomfortable. We left a night early. This location has great potential. If it got the loved and upgrades needed, it would be an great 360 experience. Sorry.

Firstly love this location, close to everything and gorgeous ocean views. Condo was very clean but needs updating, broken cabinets, broken sink drains, nothing major but just would improve place. Also a/c would have been welcome, we had strong winds and couldn’t even have windows open so it got quite hot.
I would not recommend this complex to anyone with mobility issues, one member in our party broke his ankle first week of holidays and found there is so many stairs here, up to suite, within suite. Absolutely charming if you have no issues but this proved challenging. Complex is not handicap friendly.
The owners were lovely to deal with through all these years of Covid bookings and changes and offered helpful suggestions to us for our stay.
I would recommend this place as for everything it offers the price reflects the updates needed and it was very reasonable.
