We enjoyed our stay thanks for sharing your home with us.
10.0 / 10.0
Stayed for a long weekend and the place was everything we needed. The apartment was clean and had all the essentials we needed for our stay. The property was easy to access and had ample parking. The access to the coast and the nearby beaches was great and an amazing way to start and/or end the day.

Nice appartment with everything you need for a nice vacation in the south shore.
The appartment was stacked with everything you need. The beach is 15-20 minute walk.

The condo was nice but some things need attention like the sliding doors to balcony were extremely hard to open and close but otherwise was a good stay.
10.0 / 10.0
Fantastic property. Has everything you need. Comfy beds, comfy couches, big bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, lovely decor, great stereo system with provided CDs to keep you in the Hawaiian mood, incredible ocean views and tennis/pickle ball/pool and hot tub amenities are excellent.

We had a lovely stay near Poipu at Makahuena. The condo was spacious, clean, and conveniently located. We could easily walk to both Poipu and Shipwreck Beaches. The kitchen was well stocked. The ocean views and sounds of the crashing waves were great. We even saw whales in the distance on our first morning.
10.0 / 10.0
We will really miss having our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the balcony watching sunrises and sunsets. We even saw the occasional whale spouts.
The ocean view condo is in a great location. Walking trail starts next to complex. Wonderful beaches are quick drive. Staying and hanging at the lovely pool and jacuzzi is another great option. Don't forget to smell the plumeria on the way to pool.
The unit is comfortable with a kitchen set up with what you need to make meals in unit. The smart, big screen TV is great when taking break from sun or evening entertainment. The trade winds keep the unit cool most days, but on calm days, the ACs came in handy. Be sure to point the living room one toward main bedroom and put ceiling fans on to distribute the cool air.
The unit has some basics for laundry, dishes etc. and there is a nice cordless vacuum in the second bedroom closet. The unit is a bit dated, but it was very comfortable for us.
We would definitely stay here again.

Enjoy sunrise from your bed. Great views.
Condo and managers were top rated.
10.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed our stay and it is a very nice apartment. Take note: there are 2 portable air conditioners. One in the living room and the other in the second bedroom. It was warm in the main bedroom. Also up and down steps to get to the apartment. Note that for luggage movement.
The location is excellent. The apartment is next to a hiking trail that was right next to the ocean and very beautiful. There’s a beach 5 minutes drive away where turtles and seals rest.
Kauai is a beautiful and expensive island.
4.0 / 10.0
We liked the apartment and location very much.
The apartment was clean, however, the windows and curtains, and the mirror behind the couch were not clean at all. We were not able to clearly see the outside.
The screen of the window in the master bedroom was broken. So, we did not open the lower part of the window. The skirt around the master bed was dirty.
The dishwasher did not clean the dishes; I finally stopped using it. Probably the filters need to be cleaned. There was no rinse agent for the dishwasher.
Sand from towels or bags from the third floor covered the tables and chairs on the balcony twice.
The dishes and utensils in the kitchen were sufficient; I like to have some more forks and knives, also a water heater for preparing tea would be good.
We would consider booking this place again if the windows and curtains were clean.
Thanks

This is a very nice property with a great view of the sea! We awoke to a beautiful sunrise every morning. It has everything we need that made our first visit to Kauai one of the best vacations we've ever had. We also felt safe during our stay.
10.0 / 10.0
The house was immaculate, generously stocked, and conveniently located where we could enjoy stunning sunsets, visit the giant turtles at their overnight hang-out on Poipu Beach, choose from many restaurants, and walk to the nearby hotel beach. I did not need to contact the hosts for anything (which is more than I can say about the other two places I rented for my three-island Hawaii trip). I would love to stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
We really enjoyed our stay! The bedrooms are spacious and it was just enough room for everyone. The walk to look out at the ocean was beautiful.

My family had a great time in Poipu and enjoyed our stay. The condo is in a great location and the ocean breeze was amazing.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our time in the very comfortable space. My family of four (including two teenagers) felt we had all the accommodations we needed. The location is ideal. We were able to walk to Poipu beach, the nearby shopping village and a lovely hiking trail that was past the Grand Hyatt. The kitchen was fully furnished with a large fridge. There were beach chairs and umbrellas in the large walk in closet. It was amazing to see both the sunrise and sunset from this location.
8.0 / 10.0
Property was clean. Had everything we needed for the stay. The property is an old building. It could use the addition of an exhaust vent in the bathrooms. Could not find the light switch( if there was any) to the outside terrace.
10.0 / 10.0
We loved our stay at the condo. They also had beach supplies which helped so much! My son especially appreciated the boogie board. Would definitely stay again next trip.
10.0 / 10.0
This property was a great value. Had everything needed for comfort. I was under the impression that the portable A/C unit in living room could be used in master bedroom at night, but that is not the case. We were comfortable with the windows open in the master bedroom and use of ceiling fan at night. The A/C unit in the second bedroom works great.
The property management company was very responsive.
The property itself was undergoing some maintenance on the balconies. It did not affect our use or stay. Just looked a little under construction.
A new housing development is going in next door. Construction noise during the day, but not at night. We were typically out and about during the day, so that did not affect us, but could affect others if staying in the unit during the day.
Overall, this was a perfect location for our needs.
10.0 / 10.0
Close to great beaches! Host very available. Clear informations. Great accomodation, there was a lot of gear and space in the condo.

This unit has a great view and easy access to a wonderful walking trail.
10.0 / 10.0
Condo was clean and well appointed. Views were great, pool access was convenient, and location/proximity to Brennecke/Poipu Beach was awesome. The trade winds really do cool the place down…no need for A/C, but there are two units if you decide not to trust nature.
This was out 6th trip to Kauai in the past 5 years. We've stayed in some of the brand new condos in the Poipu area on prior trips; there is no reason to spend the extra $$$ for those options. Sure, Makahuena is relatively dated…but it was very comfortable for us and had everything you need to have a great time in Poipu.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a great view and a cooling breeze kept things comfortable. Quick acces to Poipu Beach and Brenneke's.
10.0 / 10.0
We really enjoyed staying here! It’s in a wonderful location in Poipu, where you can walk to beach, grab lunch, or just to take in beautiful views. The condo is very nice in a serene building. It’s very spacious and has everything you need for staying in or going to the beach. We also appreciated having a washer and dryer! A few other reviews mentioned the construction happening alongside, but it never bothered us during our stay. The only thing to note is it does get pretty warm in the evenings even with the windows open, but that is a small thing with everything else being so great!
8.0 / 10.0
This condo is located in a really ideal location in Poipu. You can easily walk to several different beaches and restaurants. The view from the unit of the ocean is beautiful and the breezes off of the water are perfect and really helpful on hot days. The condo building and unit are a bit dated and could use some upgrades, but it was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. They provided beach chairs, umbrellas, and snorkel gear which was wonderful and we used them daily. Overall, this was a great place and we enjoyed our stay!
10.0 / 10.0
This was a fantastic property, ideally situated in town that provided a great home base for the trip. The unit is clean, has all the necessary trappings of home and has a peaceful view of the nearby ocean. Our family of 4 was very comfortable and would happily stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
We had a wonderful condo with a fantastic view. Going to sleep with the lull of the ocean was so relaxing. Much to see and do in the area as well.
10.0 / 10.0
The place was just as described. Plenty of towels, beach gear, toiletries, etc. kitchen was well stocked. Could use a cheese grater. It was windy most of our stay making sitting outside difficult but the last day we were there it was beautiful. People on walking path were not too big of an issue. Great location!
10.0 / 10.0
This two bedroom was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and we enjoyed the view. We saw dolphins whales and sea turtles from the patio! The walk to the point allows a great sunrise, and sunset.

Great condo in a great location. Can't beat the sunrise view!

We enjoyed our time in Poipu. This unit had a good view of the ocean for whale watching and an easy walk for sunsets.
4.0 / 10.0
The property is NOT a 4.8 star. The condo had chipped paint on a lot of windows. The floors are very worn. The outside railing had a sign on it saying it was not safe. The entire property was not well maintained. I felt that I way overpaid for this stay. I will not stay here again.
10.0 / 10.0
We enjoyed the location right next to the ocean. It was relaxing having the windows open at night with the breeze and sounds of waves crashing.
10.0 / 10.0
This place was all it was described as. The sound of the ocean as we slept and the sun rises were incredible. Enjoyed the pool and a beach close by. We could easily explore the whole island from here. Very much enjoyed our stay.
10.0 / 10.0
A rare complex where you can see both the sunrise and the sunset, lots of whales during the winter too. There is construction next door that will be going on for a few years as the homes get built. Also, orange plastic fencing appeared one day without notice on our balcony, along with a sign warning about structural issues, not pretty to look at. The walking path is right in front of the balcony but didn’t bother us. Did have some very loud neighbors partying until midnight.
10.0 / 10.0
This place rocks!! The kitchen is beyond "Well Stocked"...This is truly a Chef's kitchen! It has everything needed to produce many enjoyable meals. There is an incredible inventory of all items needed to produce and serve 5 star meals! The appliances are great, everything you could ask for in the kitchen is there....including 2 Toasters, Blender, Knives, Tongs, Spices, Skewers, Digital ounce scale, etc.
Everything is included as described in the description.
Several renters have commented unfavorably re: folks walking by the property....In my opinion this is not a problem that warrants negative feedback...it's a foot path about 30 feet away a fence separating the walkers and the property. The fence is visible in the cover photo.
The beds are extremely comfortable, towels soft and the unit spotless!
Note - The pool and jacuzzi were great...the hours are 9am - 9pm. I would have enjoyed them more if they were accessible later in the evening...
The views are incredible!! Whale watching was fantastic!!
WeI will return soon!

The condo had a great view but didn’t realize it’s on the windy side. Condo needs some work appliances very tired. Guess some work is being done after we leave unfortunately.

This property has a beautiful view of the sunrise! The provided beach equipment was extremely convenient, as well as the starter amenities listed (i.e. soap, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.). The air conditioning unit in the living room does not cool the master bedroom very effectively, but nights were comfortable with the windows open and fan on. I would recommend this property to those visiting the area. I did not experienced any issues during my visit.
10.0 / 10.0
The condo was as advertised. It was at a great location near Turtle Beach which was amazing for snorkeling and safe for the kids. At night the turtles come to sleep on the beach- it is a beautiful. The condo is on the 2nd floor and you can hear and see the ocean. Parking is easy.
The condo was cool enough with the breeze that we didn't need the air conditioners although there were several. Since we had the windows open, we could hear people walking right outside on the trail towards Shipwreck beach. That didn't bother us since we were still in Pacific NW time zone but be prepared for a few people who start walking by around 630 am. We feel fortunate that the neighbors above and below were quiet and everyone was indoors by 9 pm but if you don't get so lucky, you may find yourself hearing all of their conversations since their sitting area is literally right outside your window (but below). Honestly though, everyone in the condo area seems very respectful and nice so noise is perhaps never an issue. Wish we would have taken more advantage of the pool which the kids loved.
Jeremy, property manager was kind and very responsive. Grateful for him.
The condo had a boogie board and some snorkel gear/towels which was a great help. Shampoo and conditioner, as well as a well stocked kitchen and washer/dryer.
Really enjoyed our time in Kauai and our stay in this condo.
