We have recently installed a Mitsubishi Mini Split Air Conditioning system. The living room and each bedroom have an independent wall mounted air conditioning unit, allowing for individualized and personnel settings.

Makahuena at Poipu is located on the southernmost point of Kauai. This unique oceanfront property is situated on a bluff above the rocky shoreline on the Poipu Coast, located between Shipwreck Beach (for experienced swimmers) and Poipu Beach, which is ideal for children and snorkeling. You can reach either beach via a short 5 – 10 minute walk or by car.
Load beach gears on a cart and walk along the beach trail to enjoy swimming, snorkeling and surfing at the popular beaches in Poipu. With Poipu, Brennecke's, and Shipwreck beaches each a short stroll away, guests can take advantage of our beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, beach umbrella, sand toys, boogie boards, and spacious cart.

Brennecke's Deli and Brennecke's Beach Broiler serve lunch and dinner nearby, and a five-minute drive leads to Poipu Shopping Village and The Shops at Kukuiula, both of which have an assortment of dining and shopping possibilities. Another five-minute drive brings guests to Old Koloa Town, where historic plantation buildings have been carefully renovated to create a charming village with additional restaurants and shops, as well as a grocery store.
Furniture and decor may change for safety or upgrade.
* Other things to note:
There is currently a construction project in the neighboring community which is affecting our panoramic original view. Our listing photos clearly show that the wide ocean views are available from the lanai towards the ocean located in the south, not towards the east where the construction is going on. Although work only takes place during business hours (M-F, 9AM-4PM) and noise may occur during daytime excursion hours, we do not find that the project takes away from the quality of the experience.
According to our guests, the construction does not obstruct the ocean view from lanai and bedrooms, and there is no significant noise coming into the condo.
Due to this ongoing construction on the neighboring community, we reduced our nightly rate remarkably to let our guests enjoy their stay in our ocean-view condo on an affordable budget.
For your reference, we have added 7 recent photos of oceanview taken from our lanai towards south to east at the end of our photo gallery.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Location is perfect and it’s a quiet area so we really enjoyed it!

Nice ocean view location. Would have been better if windows were clean/sealed to improve the view.

Myself and my husband stayed with my friend and her husband. The condo was prefect for 2 couples. Having the full and fully stocked kitchen with the washer/dryer and beach chairs/umbrella worked out great for all of us. You definitely need to have a car here in Kauai. Parking was always easy here as well. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Our multigenerational family group spent a week at this condo. Overall it was clean, well equipped with everything we needed to cook good meals and nice quality beach items to use. The number of stairs both getting to the unit and inside the unit was a bit harder to navigate with a toddler and grandparents- but we took it slow. The pool at the complex was extremely cold, so we only used it once- which was disappointing. The grill area of the complex had a nice grill, but definitely wasn’t anywhere you’d want to hang out to eat- it’s located beside the parking lot with views of buildings. For the price point we were disappointed with the amenities at this older complex. Otherwise it was a great place to watch the whales spout, walk to beaches and enjoy the sunrises and sunsets on the point.

When we arrived, this unit was clean & everything in its place. The eastern view proved to be a blessing. When strong 25-35 mph winds were blowing through one night, we were still able to enjoy the lanai as it was protected. Yes, there is some construction next door & your view is partially of that construction but it certainly didn’t obstruct the amazing view. Also, we were in this area last year & the construction seems to be happening on “island time” which means you might hear someone hammer for half an hour although we didn’t really notice any noise.

Condo and lanai view both incredible. Located in a beautiful area of Poipu. Close to a great beach and tons of good restaurants. Homeowner Claire very nice and helpful. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I and our friends really enjoyed our stay in the condo! The bedrooms were on opposite ends of the hallway so it was perfect for two couples. The king sized beds were comfortable. We watched breathtaking sunrises every morning from the lanai. (There was construction in the lot next door but it wasn’t blocking the views). We all enjoyed the beautiful pictures and artwork in the condo. We visited Kauai Coffee Company so we were happy the condo had a coffee bean grinder, coffee pot, and Keurig to sample our delicious coffees we bought. The kitchen had quite a few spices, salt and pepper etc. plenty of dishes, pots and pans, wine glasses, blender, tea pot & I even found a pitcher for my fresh brewed iced tea. We appreciated the washer and dryer and downstairs bathroom. The “beach” closet had everything we needed for a day at the beach, a cooler, chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear and really nice beach towels. The grounds to the condo are very pretty and manicured. The pool and hot tub area are well kept and clean. We used the Weber BBQs on the grounds, Although it was a bit of trek from the second story condo to the bbq area we didn’t mind. Everything was comfortable, clean and enjoyable! We had the best time! We would stay here again! Thank you for hosting your beautiful place!

Anniversary trip 3 years late. Great communication with owner. Everything went well. Unit as advertised. Second trip to Hawaii, first to Kauai, best so far.
Thanks

Overall everything was great and the view was beautiful.
The only CONs were:
- There was some construction going on that slightly obstructed the view.
- We found that the sofa bed had bed bugs when we arrived. We had to wash the sheets. You may want to spray before future guests arrive.
- The Beach umbrellas were broken.
Otherwise, nice place and location. thank you.
4.8
The unit was comfortable and clean. It's location is an asset as it's next to the Maha'uepu Heritage walk and a park where the turtles rest. Great stay.
4.8
The location of the home was great! It was located by a trail in front of the ocean, and was a short 10-20 min walk to Brenneckes and Poipu beach! The kitchen was well stocked and the bed sheets were clean. The view of the ocean was great from the balcony and rooms! Each room also had its own air conditioning. There were plenty of beach supplies such as umbrellas, snorkel gear, coolers, boogie boards, and sunscreen to use! We really enjoyed our stay!
4.8
The property was very nice, a quiet location but close to the beach and restaurants. We enjoyed the trails nearby and the coast scenery was breath taking. The condo was very well equiped with lots of supplies , towels and sports equipment. The only improvement I could suggest would be a small drying rack for damp swim suits and towels in the laundry room. WE had a wonderful stay and would recommend it to others.
4.8
Outstanding location and amenities and a beautiful condo. Claire is the best owner I’ve ever worked with on VRBO. The added touches to make us feel welcome were very much appreciated.
4.8
We stayed for about 10 days have nothing but terrific things to say about the property. Everything was as advertised; from the general location, the air conditioning, the ocean views (with whale watching from the lanai and binoculars were provided!), and the everything else provided in the condo, including very comfortable beach chairs. When (not if) we come back to Poipu, we hope to stay in this property again. Thanks for the fast responses Claire!
4.8
Our family had the best time staying at this condo! From coffee on the lanai, walks along the path to Shipwreck Beach, walks to Poipu Beach, watching sunrises and sunsets, watching the whales and sleeping comfortably. This condo had everything and more! Fully stocked, nice breeze throughout, everything you need in the kitchen, great bbq area, a lot of beach gear and beach towels. Hearing the waves hit the rocks was amazing! Very nice condo and had such a great stay!
4.8
Very nice condo in a great location on Poipu. Liked the upstairs/downstairs layout as we don't like to hear footsteps over our head from neighbors! Great walking path just outside and a nice pool. The unit was very well stocked with juices/sodas/condiments and laundry supplies.. Only drawback were some spots/corners that could have been cleaned better...not a major issue. We had strong winds during our visit which limited use of the lanai and the water sports equipment. Overall, we would certainly recommend this unit.
4.8
We thoroughly enjoyed our eight night stay, the property was perfect for our family of four, including my two daughters who are 8 and 5. The views are breathtaking and the condo is very well equipped with anything you might need. The complex is lovely and the location within Poipu is close to everything but on the edge to feel like you’re a bit away from it all which is perfect. We will look to stay again in the future!
4.8
This condo has everything.... perfect location and perfect views! It is well-stocked with everything you vould possibly need for your stay in amazing Kauai.
4.8
We had a wonderful stay in Claire's Kauai condo. We had everything we needed to enjoy our time on Kauai. There is a closetful of items to play at beach. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to make meals in the condo. The view off the lanai is so amazing! We watched a baby whale breaching and splashing and there were spinner dolphins off the shoreline. The beds are comfortable and the A/C welcome. We can't wait to come back!
4.8
The rental is in a great location, super clean, easy check-in/out. Highly recommend.
4.8
We loved watching whales from the condo and on walks along the shore. Sunrises were great. We went on many hikes and sat on beautiful beaches in the area. Lots of turtles on Poipu Beach.
4.8
Everything was absolutely amazing! Location was perfect for sunset and sunrises! I appreciated her having binoculars to look at the whales! We saw multiple ones breach out of the water! Her attention to detail for perfect! The small things go a long way. Everything you need for a beach day. Multiple places to charge your electronic devices. Also loved to have A/C!
4.8
My family (adult kids 18 & 20) stayed in early Jan. We highly recommend this condo. Well equipped with snorkel & beach gear and with a great kitchen and laundry too. We spent lots of time exploring Makuenha Point watching waves crash and whales blow. It’s a short drive to Poipu so see monk seals and turtles. Snorkel at Poipu, boogie board at Brenneke’s beach and much more. Walk to shipwreck beach and hike a little more to the cave. This also serves as a fairly central location for touring the North, East, and West Island. Sunsets from just outside the pool area are amazing. Lots of restaurants for eating in or takeout are close by. Our 6 nights flew by! For the accommodation, location and view you won’t find a better value.
4.8
Perfect location to explore Kauai. Great hikes and beaches within walking distance. Amazing sunsets and whale watching from the property. Quite and clean condominium development. Condo had everything we needed for a fantastic vacation. Comfortable beds and all necessary beach supplies provided.
4.8
Our family of 6 were very comfortable in this condo. Great views, great location, well stocked and easy check in and out

We had a fantastic time. The property was clean and well located. It was appointed well and accurately noted in the listing. We would recommend staying.
4.8
The condo was very nice with an amazing view of the ocean. Short walk to the beach. Condo was fully loaded with cookware and beach supplies.
4.8
The condo was great, everything we needed. Sad that the pool wasn’t available but past that it was wonderful.
4.8
My family and I loved everything about this condo. The location was perfect! There was plenty of room for everyone and we enjoyed the view from the living room and both bedrooms. There are nice extras too- we used the beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers on our daily trips to the beach. There’s a path that you can take to walk to Shipwreck Beach right by the Hyatt. Or you can drive 5 minutes and park right next to Shipwreck. Poipu and Brennecke's Beach are a quick drive to the west. Claire was friendly and very responsive to any questions I had. As long as you’re ok with lots of stairs, I highly recommend staying here and hope I get to come back soon!
4.8
Couldn’t have been happier! Location was perfect and so was the property! I will be back!
4.8
I stayed here while attending a conference at the Hyatt resort just up the road. This was the perfect location as I would walk to the conference every day. There is a public trail that runs along the coast and right next to the home, which made taking a sunrise jog each morning so easy. This is a great central location for all things on souther Kauai. The balcony has a nice view of the ocean and is perfect for viewing sunrises. I stayed 5 days and my elderly parents accompanied me. The home was clean and comfortable with great air conditioning and nice kitchen to cook meals in. I couldn’t recommend this more for anyone looking to stay in southern Kauai!
4.8
This is such a cute condo. There is a master with a king bed and a 2nd room with 2 twin beds. Each room has a bathroom, and there is an extra 1/2 bath downstairs. Everything was super clean and the living room couch turns into a pull out bed. The only challenging part is not having elevator access. We had to carry multiple full sized suitcases down some steps to get to the walkway to the condo. Then we had to carry them up a flight of stairs to the condo itself. This is not an ADA accessible property. If you are not able to carry luggage up a flight of stairs then this place may not work for you. Otherwise, I would def stay again in the future.
4.8
My wife and I had a great time at the condo. The unit was clean and very comfortable, with amazing views from the balcony. Beaches are very close walking distance to witness amazing sunsets. Despite being ocean front, the area was very quiet, only hearing the waves. Host was very responsive and friendly to communicate with.
4.8
Within reasonable walking distance to Poipu Beach (by road) and a beautiful walk by trail down to Shipwreck Beach and the Grand Hyatt property. This was a great home-base location for all of our beach-hopping and excursions.
4.8
So quiet!!! What a peaceful weekend we had at this condo in Kauai. Great location for accessing all the sights we wanted to see. Claire was very responsive and helpful. Would stay here again if our travels bring us back to Kauai!
4.8
Property was just as described…perfect!
4.8
We booked this place as it was perfect for our little family. The location was perfect and had a wonderful view.
4.8
Stayed here with my husband and two teenagers and loved it. The condo is walking distance to Poipu Beach and Brennecke's which had decent dinner. We saw turtles and a seals at the beach. We watched magnificent sun rises from the lanai every morning. The beds were comfortable and the 1/2 bath on the first floor was so appreciated....as was the A/C. My only complaint which I think is unavoidable is that the A/C unit is on the lanai so if you were running the A/C but trying to sit out there, the heat from the unit was stifling. I realize this is a trade-off for having A/C in Hawaii and was by no means a deterrent....just an observation. Claire was super responsive and when our flight got delayed which caused us to arrive a day late, she offered a late checkout and an additional day since the unit was available. The condo had everything we needed and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
4.8
We really enjoyed our stay. The condo is well furnished and clean. The beds are comfortable and a perfect setup for a family. The use of the beach gear was greatly appreciated.
4.8
Beautiful Condo with Great Amenities
Everything you need for your stay in Poipu! Condo is well stocked. Pool is nice. Short walk to beach to see turtles. Right on the walking path to Shipwreck Beach. Clare is readily available if you need her. Highly recommend!
