The property was absolutely beautiful and well kept. The condo itself was better than even the pictures and the pictures are nice! The view of the ocean from the balcony and then walking right out front and watching the sunrise and also sunset topped it all!

We’ve been to Hawaii more than a dozen times, and this condo is definitely a find, and a value. The unit is well maintained/upgraded, and very tastefully decorated. The bed is very comfortable. The furniture and the kitchen appliances seem new. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware in good condition. Even the beach chairs and umbrella are quality.
The Makahuena complex itself is a bit weathered, and pretty bare-bones, but the grounds are nicely maintained. There seems to be a mix of mainly visitors with some residents. The complex is situated on beautiful lava cliffs that the waves crash against endlessly.
If you come, make sure to visit Poipu beach at sunset to watch the Green Sea Turtles haul themselves onto shore for the night.

Hot and humid No air conditioning. Bedroom window was not functional. Loved the condo. Just needed air. Also noisy at this time due to maintenance on the building and grounds. Walkable to 2 beaches.

Wonderful property!! So spacious, stylish, and comfortable. No a/c (very typical for hawaiian homes) but it was never a problem for our family. They had multiple fans in the rooms AND effective ceiling fans. There was never any direct sun into the home which kept the home at an easy temp all day. Over all it was a great place to stay!

We loved Kauai and had a great stay at this spacious and beautiful condo. Wonderful location and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony spotting whales. I didn’t give this condo five stars because the beds were not comfortable, which impacted our sleep for the 9 nights we were here. We’d definitely recommend the purchase of new beds given the price point of a nightly stay at this condo. I’d also suggest a kettle for the kitchen. Thank you!

The views from the complex are some of the best we saw while here- watched whales in the morning and evening and then took a quick drive down to the beach to witness seals and turtles on the shore. Had a great time snorkeling! Would highly recommend this unit to anyone!

This unit is well stocked a great layout and clean - you will not be disappointed! It is accessible to great beaches within walking distance and it is also a great location if you want to drive and explore other parts of the island without spending all your time in your vehicle. The complex is safe and other guests and condo owners are friendly. If you want to get advice on what to do on the island just chat to anyone in the hot tub - it is a great way to hear honest reviews and get recommendations on excursions and activities.

We stayed in Rodney's condo for 4 nights in January 2022. We realized that while we received "check in" details, when we arrived, we noticed we hadn't received the information needed to get into the condo. I had to make a couple of phone calls to the property manager, who quickly gave me the information that was needed so that we could gain access. That was really the only snafu that we encountered. The condo was exactly as advertised. The beds were super comfortable, and it had a great deal of space where we could all spread out and enjoy our stay. The condo does not have air conditioning, so we kept the blinds shut in the morning due to the morning sun and left all windows and fans going at night...it was very comfortable. Thank you for allowing us to use your gorgeous property! p.s. make sure to take a walk down past the gate in the AM and watch the sea turtles! Totally amazing!

This host had amazing communication! Before we arrived he informed us of entry information. When we checked in, there was a packet of information about the surrounding area and the island.
The condo was beautiful and close to Poipu Beach Park. We had great kitchen equipment, and lots of beach supplies.
The only disadvantage was my son would have liked air conditioning. I really didn’t mind being without it. Great place to stay!

Within 5 minutes of Poipu Beach, shops, restaurants. The closet with some beach toys, chairs, umbrella, ice chest etc was very much appreciated. Neighbors were all quiet and respectful. We enjoyed using the onside BBQ as well. Would absolutely stay again.

We had a nice stay at this condo, nothing bad just ok. I read the description and reviews and knew there was no ac, I thought we would be ok, but we were hot. After being gone all day, and closing up the windows as instructed, it was stuffy. It was difficult to cool the main bedroom down, even with all the fans provided.
We found the condo to be pretty clean but the floors were filthy. We had to keep our socks or shoes on.
We enjoyed sitting on the lanai for breakfast and for a glass of wine at night and listen to the crashing waves.
It is well located to drive easily to the beaches or places to eat. The complex is aging but the grounds are very well taken care of.

We had a wonderful stay in this condo and truly enjoyed the location. The condo and grounds are clean and quiet. You will find everything you need for a comfortable stay and many items available to explore the island. We would be lost without the chairs and umbrellas seeing as we were at one of the amazing beaches every day. The new barbecues on the grounds are a great upgrade.

The unit was located near the beaches but we took a car as Poipu Beach was farther.The unit had everything you needed. The TV was no that easy to work and had to ask for help.The pool/spa was very nicely tiled. They were nice and got some regular size beach chairs
for those of us that need easy access.We brought supplies as there is not a lot of grocery shopping or resturants around..but it depends on your diet. Keokis is always good and we tried a new place Lillikai near the harbor area.The price quoted was higher
than I had paid and then with fees was higher but it is high season
and this was a nicely maintain resort and condo.

This was a perfect house for our family of 6. We had 4 adults and 2 children and the highlight was the pool. Most of our mornings were spent at nearby Poipu Beach, which is also excellent for kids, home for lunch and then the pool in the afternoon. The solar heating for the pool was very effective. The home was very well appointed including smart TV’s for streaming for the kids.

The space was large, comfortable, and had great amenities, especially for the beach! It was so nice being close to many great beaches, restaurants, and shops.

January 2022
Communication was top notch from start to finish. Place was great. We didn’t rent a car for our stay and probably should have. The walk to the beach is about 15 minutes and carrying stuff for the day at the beach was sometimes challenging. The condo was nice. One of the twin beds was super squeaky, so every time my son moved, it woke my daughter. The TV in the master wasn’t working, but that was fine. The first night there, we went to the hot tub, but it was cold - went back the next night and it was fixed and hot. Really enjoyed the entire experience and would recommend.

Loved our time at Makahuena. The property has beautiful views and is a short walk or drive to many swimmable beaches. Appreciated having chairs, snorkel equipment, etc available for use. Would stay here again!

The pictures do not do this property any justice. The views from the lanai are beautiful. Quick walk to numerous lookouts around the property and you will not be disappointed. The home is spacious and nicely decorated. We were there for short trip so we didn't eat in but from what we saw, the home had all the utensils and appliances one would need. The property was well maintained and the neighbors were wonderful. Novella is who we worked with for this trip and she was a amazing! She sent me a text to check in on us and see if we needed anything. Prior to our arrival, I had a great time chatting with her on the phone. Overall a great experience and we will definitely be back.

The property manager was great to deal with. We asked for extra pillows & arrived to find 2 brand new packs, very nice!
The condo is nice & has a great balcony over the courtyard & a beautiful ocean view.
I would suggest some hooks on the balcony for wet things & maybe a small smart tv for the 2nd bedroom. We watched late night movies on a laptop.
I'm glad we didn't go in the heat of summer because we were all quite hot the whole time. There's a nice breeze but us Coloradoans would have liked a little more coolness!
Thanks for the great stay!
