Beautiful home, comfortably fit our party of 10. Large lanai to relax, gather and enjoy the ocean view. Had all the amenties we needed. Great location.
4.8
There were nine of us with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms so everyone had their own room and bathroom. A few things need to be addressed with the stove and dishwasher but was able to work around them.

Honestly one of the best places I have ever stayed visiting the Hawaiian Islands, beach house was located in the perfect spot and covered all needs and then some, would go back to same location anytime!

Great front porch, great location

This is a beautiful house in a great location, exactly as shown in the photos. It was well-stocked with paper goods and each bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, and a hairdryer. There are two laundry centers, one in the downstairs primary bedroom and one upstairs in the den area, both with plenty of detergent. The location is great, a short drive or nice walk to Poipu Beach with great snorkeling. We spent lots of time turtle watching on the rocks just across the street from the house. If you don't feel like cooking, the Holoholo Grill at the Koloa Landing resort just behind the house has takeout food and cocktails. I had the downstairs back bedroom and was a little worried about being so close to the resort, but I didn't hear any noise at all, even when they had a wedding there on our last night.

Very impressive house, was great for the 5 couples in our family. Perfect location within walking distance of beaches and shopping/restaurants. Remax was very responsive to our questions/needs. Would definitely stay here again. My highest recommendation for a family that needs up to 5 bedrooms and baths!
4.8
This house is the prefect location with a 5 minute walking distance from the Sheraton beach or Poipu beach. Sunsets every night from our house. Walking distance to shopping centers. Remax was easy to talk to and responded the same day. So happy with our stay and can’t wait to return to the same house again with my family of 10.
4.8
House was beautiful and nicely appointed. Huge kitchen was great for big number helping cook meals. Appreciated the large refrigerator and two dishwashers.
Layout is great with plenty of bathrooms and places for family to spread out. Loved the location that was within walking distance of shops and beaches.
Lanai was great with plenty of seating area for eating. Spent a lot of our time just hanging out there.

Property was in good condition with all the foreseen amenities. Great location on the South Shore.

Wonderful for a large family or group. Convenient location. Powerhouse kitchen and front porch.
4.8
A great location for a large family. We had 3 generations gathered together and there was enough space for all to be together AND to have a little time alone. Large gourmet kitchen geared to prepping meals for a group. Comfortable living space inside and outside on the lanai. Dining room table was big, but we dined together on the lanai each night (two tables for 5-6 each).
Bedrooms were very comfortable. Having a second washer/dryer upstairs was very nice.
Sunsets were amazing at the shoreline right across the street, which must be the best location in Poipu as lots of people and cars gathered in this area each evening.
We all fell in love with Kauai and will definitely be back to enjoy this beautiful island.

We just returned home from our third stay at lovely Makalae. We'll be missing our view of sunsets and rainbows from the deck now that we're home in the snow! Thanks to Angela and the ReMax team for ensuring that our extended family had a most enjoyable holiday.

We enjoyed our visit to this lovely home. It is as described and was very comfortable for our group of 6. It was a great location although it was a little drive to the actual beach area. We loved walking to the end of the driveway to look at the water, sunset, turtles and dolphins. There is a hotel on the same driveway that does bring some walking traffic by the house often but wasn’t a big problem. Overall I would recommend this home for a very family friendly vacation in beautiful Kauai.

The management company was very responsive to any questions we had. Beds were great and gathering space was also great for our adult children and spouses. Large kitchen with plenty of room at the dining table. Also enjoyed eating on the deck. Amazing location for sunsets and walking distance to snorkeling at Koloa Landing, which was one of the best snorkeling locations! Enjoyed easy access to Koloa for dining out and shopping.
4.8
I don’t typically add anything to my reviews, but am afraid I can’t do the house justice. It was every bit as beautiful as the pictures. EVERYTHING met our expectations, from the well-stocked kitchen to the comfort of the beds, to the view of the ocean and the very short walk to fantastic sunsets. We, 9 women, were extremely satisfied with the house. We’re an active bunch, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, and the house was perfect for congregating, cooking, and relaxing in the evening. The a/c worked very well. I cannot think of anything I would change. Highly recommend!
4.8
Nice accommodations for a large family or group of friends. Sit and watch the sunset and sea turtles every night right at the end of the driveway. Good home base to explore all of Kauai.
4.8
This house was perfect for our party of 7. It was super clean. Great location right across the street from the ocean. Close to shops, restaurants, etc. Nice touch to have beach towels, boogie boards, beach umbrellas and a wagon to use. We've been coming to Kauai for about 7 years now and this is the nicest house we have stayed in.

This was a family reunion of 9 adults. We were celebrating many missed celebrations plus two wedding announcements. We had plenty of space, house was very clean. The towels for both the bathrooms and the beach were very good quality. Linens on the beds were clean and good quality. I normally do not like to utilize the soaps offered but they were also high quality and smelled great! Two sets of washers and dryers plus two dish washers - awesome! The house is gorgeous! The location is great. Everyone had a great time. Every couple had their own bathrooms, the kitchen was well stocked. sitting on the deck in the morning enjoying the beautiful view and drinking coffee - an awesome way to start the day. Grill is again high quality like all of the kitchen appliances! I was worried about having enough hot water for everyone's showers and there were no problems at all. The fans helped circulate the air and the air conditioning worked great! We would all come back to this house if we could. Thank you for sharing this with our family.
4.8
Really loved this place for a large group. Stayed there with my family of 9 adults. Really excellent location across road from Poipu Landing. Able to walk to beach at Sheraton and several nice restaurants nearby. Lots of gear and beach towels in the garage. Washer and dryer upstairs and down. Easy to work with host company and would not hesitate to recommend.
4.8
Beautiful house with lots of room inside and a great front porch. The rooms are spacious and quiet. Angela with REMAX was helpful, try to deal with her, and double check ahead of time that everything is working before you arrive.
4.8
The house itself is in a great location with ocean views and very close to several beaches. Large kitchen, living spaces, and bedrooms to easily accommodate our group of 10. We appreciated access to beach toys for the little kids, boogie boards, and beach chairs. Communication with the management company was excellent and they even had an extra welcome gift for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary waiting for us upon arrival. Only downside was that the central AC was broken for our entire stay which made things uncomfortably sticky inside the house. However, the efforts made to correct the issue did not go unnoticed and still would strongly recommend this property.
4.8
Great stay in a great location! House and patio was great for 10 adults, close to beaches and sunsets!
4.8
Terrific home, very clean. Great location to visit island, and enjoyed turtles and snorkeling out front. Thankful that there were beach/water toys to use. I think the views are well represented in the posted pics and it was lovely to see the sunset from the house, or down the drive at the seawall. The AC was not working, which we did reach out about. While not always needed on Kauai (and many rentals without), and since the home has ceiling fans, we could manage. However, it was a restriction on our searches and I do wish it could have been fixed. It seems to have been an issue before, perhaps, so whether it is working could be clarified. Would rent again!
4.8
We celebrated my 40th and my mom's 80th in Poipu and this house was such a great fit for our family. We had a lot of friends staying at the Sheraton so the location was perfect for meeting up with them all. The house was well equipped and very clean, the few things that came up were quickly resolved via text. Lots of beach toys and the second fridge in the garage and dishwasher made it very easy for our family and kids to be comfortable. We'd love to visit again and stay here.
4.8
This house has better views than we expected (hence only 4 stars for the listing), and we all enjoyed seeing the ocean from almost every room. The location between the Sheraton and the Shops at Kukuiula was ideal for us. The outdoor area, kitchen and bbq were great for dinners together.

Enjoyed our stay!

We spent a week here as a group of 8 (family and partners and kids) and it was the perfect set up for us. Large kitchen, lots of privacy in the rooms, spacious, and the location is absolutely perfect. The communication beforehand and during was timely and professional, and the place itself is exactly as the pictures show. Can't recommend it enough!
4.8
The property was quite difficult to find in the dark, but once found met our hopes and expectations. A couple of relatively minor plumbing issues, but really we all (family & friends) greatly enjoyed the property. I highly recommend it for a lovely family get together in Hawaii.

The property was great! The management team was super quick and responsive to any questions we had. We felt the location was great and not far from a lot to do in the area. Would boom again if the chance arose!

It was just perfect for our family of 10 adults, we would stay again in a heartbeat!!
The management company went over and above in working with us to meet some special medical needs we had to plan for.
Only small inconveniences were the lighting and temperature control in downstairs master bedroom (68 degrees and couldn't seem to adjust) and very poor lighting. Also, it would have been nice to have a smart tv as we like to look at our photos at the end of each day and this tv is just a little outdated for the quality of the house.

This house comfortably sleeps 10 family members. Perfect location in the Poipu Beach area.

This house has everything you could want in a vacation home on Kauai! As a family of 8 adults, everyone had plenty of sleeping space and living space. With a fully equipped kitchen, we were able to cook and enjoy dinners at home daily with a spectacular view of the ocean. All of our beach outings were complete with beach chairs, towels, umbrellas and a cooler provided by the house. And not to forget the snorkeling gear as well! The ease and comfort of the space made for a family-filled right at home feel while on one of the most beautiful islands on earth. Mahalo!

Wonderful trip! Great location to all the activities. Slight issue with the door lock but resolved almost immediately.

Lovely accomodations gorgeous views
We had a party of ten, 8 adults, one teen and one 12 year old. Most of the room had gorgeous ocean views. The home was very clean and well equipped. Whenever we had problems, we contacted our host and they responded immediately. We did run out of hot water throughout the home and that was remedied as quickly as possible.
