Overall it was a great place to stay. A little dusty. Location was good. Not a lot of steps in the stairs but tricky spiral steps to go up to the second room. The kitchen drawers should be dusted or organized. They should buy more of the suitcase stands, really helps. The place has an air conditioner but with so many remotes that we couldn’t figure it out how to turn it on. Anyway, you can leave the windows open and you don’t really need it. A great stay. . Like I said great location , beds are comfortable and clean.

Entire property complex is dated and needs some updates, however it is kept clean. The unit itself has had some nice updates. The pictures of the unit on the listing show the unit in its best light, but in person the flaws are very apparent. Carpeting and doors seem to be original and while still functional, are not on the same level as the rest of the unit. While the unit does have air conditioning in the two bedrooms, what is not explained is that the air conditioner is a large unit inside of the rooms. It is about the size of a small refrigerator. And it is very loud. It was too warm to sleep with just the windows open, but that meant trying to sleep with the loud air conditioner running. What is not disclosed in the property description is that there are three flights of stairs to get to the unit. This was not a huge deal for us personally, but my wife doesn't pack light. Had this been my parents renting this unit, there would've been no way for them to handle all the stairs. Specific to our trip, the main bathroom shower was non-functional for 3 out of the 4 nights. Though we asked about canceling our reservation after the first night so that we could find other accommodations with a working shower, property manager did not offer this, and a very minimal amount was returned for the deficiencies of the property.

Makahuena was excellent. Everything from location to weather to wonderful sunrises and walks along the coast allowed for a perfect welcome and first experience on Kaua’i. This condo did not disappoint and the property manager was very attentive and patiently answered all my questions. I highly recommend Po’ipu beach for the sea turtles and Monk seals and Puka Dog for lunch and Brennecke’s for dinner. They are literally just down the way and walking distance. We will definitely be back!

Property was very clean, spacious, and has a great layout. The remodeled bathrooms and kitchen were very nice - sometimes a rental sometimes feels “cheap”, this was very much the opposite. My family loved using the amenities such as boogie boards, snorkeling gear and beach chairs. Great views, my wife and I loved just staring at the ocean from the balcony. Would absolutely go back to this property if we revisited Kauai! Cheers!

We had an amazing vacation. This property has a view of the ocean, is in walking distance to the beach, and has a great walking trail nearby. This home had everything you might need for the kitchen, beach equipment, and comfortable furniture. We would love to come again. Thank you!

Perfect location for us, loved the layout with the bedrooms downstairs. Well supplied with all new linens and kitchen supplies. Listing was very accurate

The amenities and location of this property made our visit to Kauai a 10 out of 10.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this place! Check-in and check-out was very straightforward and the property management team were quick to respond to our queries. The view from the balcony was beautiful (just as you see in the pictures) and it was the perfect location/accommodation for our family of four. Our kids appreciated all the beach amenities they provided. The weather was cool enough that we didn't need the AC in either of the rooms, and this place only added to the overall fantastic time we had in Kauai. If we ever come back, we'll likely look to stay here again!

The views were outstanding from everywhere in the unit. Nice modern updates with all the amenities & accessories needed for vacation. Good easy access to beaches, restaurants & shopping. Nice quiet area. I would highly recommend & would stay again.

Great location and property. Be advised you can use the shower but not bathtub. Owners provide lots of beach toys, chairs, and boogie boards, which was really nice.

This was our first trip to Hawaii so we didn’t know what to expect. We opened the front door of this property and saw straight through to the magnificent ocean view from the lanai. We sat looking at that view every sunrise and every sunset. The location in Poi’pu is perfect, close to great restaurants and shops. Everything was clean and well organized when we arrived. We really appreciated the binder of information about restaurants, grocery shopping, farmers markets and other helpful stuff. Evelyn was very helpful and super responsive. We can’t wait to be back in Kaua’i! 🌴🌺🌞🍍

We enjoyed our stay. Our host is a great communicator and went all out to accommodate us.

Great Stay, would stay here again. The unit was very clean and comfortable, and Evelyn was very responsive to any questions we had. Excellent location between several great beaches. I made the mistake of assuming "Air Conditioning" meant Central A/C as I am used to. I was disappointed it was only portable air conditioner units with window vents in the upstairs bedrooms, which are loud to sleep with, but that's on me for not clarifying further. There was no A/C in the downstairs living area, just a fan, so when you came home from a day out it was very warm downstairs and opening the patio and front doors never really cooled it down. The upstairs carpet and baths could use a refresh, but was otherwise comfortable as long as the a/c unit was on. None of these are dealbreakers--we'd stay here again.

Evelyn was very communicative from months to days before the reservation. The property was well maintained, and all important things to know for check in/check out and settling in were written out in detail. Will look up this property again if I get another chance to visit Kauai.

I highly recommend this place. Clean and close to Poipu beach. Host was fantastic and made sure all our request before the arrival were taken care of.

Everything was great except the unit below was smoking cigarettes and marijuana even though it was a nonsmoking facility!

We loved our Stay! Perfect Location in Poipu for my family. We enjoyed watching the ocean from the living room and bedroom. Sea Turtles swimming right outside the property. Poipu Beach in walking distance. The condo was clean and quiet and we were welcomed with a 100% aloha spirit! Fully equipped with everything you need to go to the beach. I would love to stay here again!!

Our family had a great time at the Poipu property! The facility was great, close location to area beaches and an amazing clean and refreshing pool. Accommodations were comfortable and felt right at home. Only suggestion would be to add a cutting board in the kitchen (apologies if we missed!) but it was very well stocked and clean. We left a cooler for other families to use - we needed it for lunches & drinks on the beach. And thank you for all the swimming/beach equipment. Great stay, recommended!

Perfectly located in Popui with a beatiful ocean view. Mid-way walking distance to both Poipu beach and Shipwreck beach. Direct access to the sandstone trail. The first floor is renovated…but the second floor (2 bedrooms) is not. The carpet is really old and it gets really stuffy and hot. Both rooms have AC units but they are very loud and impossible to sleep with. There are ceiling fans but the windows cannot be opened making nights a little uncomfortable. A change of upstairs carpet, central AC and fixing the windows would really transform this condo into a real gem and luxurious perfectly located condo.

Overall great views and clean home.

The condo was very spacious and great for our family of 5. The views were beautiful and it was just a short walk to the beach and close to other activities. Everything was clean and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay!

Clean place with a great view. Well stocked kitchen. Nice extras for beach days. Very short drive to the restaurants and shops. Beautiful walk to see sunrise (access one driveway over to lighthouse trail) and sunset (gate on west side of property). Smoke smell upstairs in the evening was present for us too.

This is a great place. Wonderfully views. Very clean. The pool is nice. Great beach nearby. Loved spending time on the balcony.

Wonderful stay! We especially loved the view from the balcony! The welcome basket was also an extra special touch. Would stay here again!

Convenient location and beautiful views. The house provides beach towels and chairs.

Easy walk to the beach! Beautiful Views from balcony and property! Nice pool-not busy. Overall we loved our stay at the house. The only downside that is out of control of the owners is a lower neighbor or guest of the property who smoked in the mornings and later afternoon. The smell would creep into upstairs bedrooms, especially in early morning. Not a great way to wake up, but again that’s not the owners fault, but something people should be aware of in case it’s a tigger.

Everything was great for all of us. Having on-suites in both bedrooms made getting ready in the mornings a time saver. Overall a perfect place for 2 families.

My husband, adult daughter and her 3 month old stayed for five nights in this beautiful condo. With the baby and my husband working (great WiFi) we spent more time in the condo than a normal vacation so we were happy with how comfortable it was. And the view was amazing. We cooked most meals in the well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Communication with the host was informative and plentiful. Yes there are stairs but they were not as bad as I feared (short flights, well marked and safe, good handrails). We walked to Shipwreck Beach but drove everywhere else, although without the baby we could have walked to Brennecke’s and Poipu Beach. Although we did not see whales, we did see sea turtles on Poipu Beach!

The room was very spacious and clean. The kitchen had updated appliances and was stocked with all the essentials. 1 boogie board, a couple kickboards, snorkel gear, two beach chairs, and tennis rackets were there for your use. 5-10 min walk to Poipu Beach, or 10-15 min walk to Shipwreck beach. We received lots of communications from the management company before and during our stay to ensure everything was great. Our experience was great here.

The condo was perfect. Clean, comfortable, and close to great beaches and food! We saw so many whales and turtles from the balcony! Check in and check out was fast and simple with great communication from the property manager from the moment we booked it to when we were checking out. Would definitely come back!

We spent three nights here. The lanai was our favorite as we saw many whales frolicking in the ocean. Everything was just as represented. A couple of minor maintenance problems that will likely be resolved before the next guests. Great location and lovely setting.

Great views from the balcony to monitor whales spouting and on the check out day, they were breaching. Enjoyed seeing the turtles at Poipu Beach.
