Lovely condo with a great view of ocean and location. Extremely clean.
Sally B.
December 2023

Had a pleasant stay at this condo. It has everything you need. Great view with waves that crash into the rocks right outside. The deck gets a bit warm in the afternoon sun, wish there was some shade, but that is expected in Kauai. Saw turtles everyday, dolphins a couple times, and whales twice. Everything in the condo was as pictured and in working order.

We absolutely loved our stay in Kauai. It was our first time on the island and our first time staying at this property. The views are phenomenal! The sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous as well as the moonlit views. You can enjoy your morning brew watching the sunrise and moonlit walks to close out your day sipping wine on the lanai. There's also an area looking over the ocean and we even saw turtles and dolphins swimming by. The condo has all the amenities you'll need and the beds are very comfortable too. We loved it so much that we extended our vacation and the property manager was very helpful and accommodating. We will be back!! Thank you so much! Mahalo nui loa!

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.

Wonderful upgraded and appointed multi-level condo! Entrance up a flight of stairs, and all bedrooms upstairs as well. Nice full kitchen. Ocean and cliff views. Nearby construction does not obstruct views. Next to great trail... catch the sunrise over the ocean and crashing waves! 15-minute walk from Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach either by trail or sidewalks and paths.

November 2023

We booked this unit in Oct 2023. I wanted something truly oceanfront, so that even when we were having a lazy day, I could just step outside and watch the waves. We ate breakfast every morning on the lanai, and saw dolphins go by on multiple occasions. There were always turtles in the water, and the rock formations gave us our own smaller version of the “spouting horn”! Very private end-unit with limited to no passers-by. Nice walking distance to poipu beaches and other resorts. I would not recommend the unit to anyone with mobility issues. It’s a long walk from the parking lot with multiple sets of stairs, including down to the unit itself. Clean unit, could use a mattress topper and more comfortable pillows in the master.

We spent 4 nights and could not have been happier . Property was clean , beautiful and the ocean view looks better in person than picture. New AC works great , mostly did not need though . Evelyn was great to work with and communication was easy . It was tough to leave both this place and Kauai .
Lawrence G.
November 2023

Perfect location - walkable to Brenneke and Poipu beaches. Best thing by far is this oceanfront condo - 20 feet from rocks and hearing waves crash on rocks is heaven. Condo is adjacent to pool and hot tub - very nice. Condo itself seems a bit dated but we were here for the virw and never even used kitched.
Ann P.
November 2023

Great location overlooking the ocean. We were with 6 adults and the place provided enough space for all. Convenient location as a home base to see the island. The property manager responded to our questions and attended to the fixing of the leaking kitchen tap right away. If we ever come back to the island we would book this place again.
Ernie R.
November 2023

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! 🌴🌺🌞🍍
Maria S.
November 2023

We had a great time staying in this unit. It was perfect for three adults. Sunrise view was beautiful. It is a shame that the property directly in front of the ocean is being developed. Everything worked well and was well maintained. Might want to check the pocket door in the master bedroom. It came off the track once and we were able to reinstall it.
KAREN H.
November 2023

This condo is in a great location- close to Poipu and Shipwreck beaches, and not far from other attractions. The shared pool is small and the unit is older. AC units were only in the bedrooms and were too loud to be used at night. The ocean views from the balcony are excellent, but there is constant construction during workdays. The unit was clean and priced well compared to others nearby.
Meg S.
November 2023

Clean condo. Had all the utensils, pots, needed for cooking. Fabulous location. Mere minutes walk doen to the ocean. Would have been nice to have use of the deck. But it was undergoing maintenance.
Isaac R.
November 2023

Property is dated. Our condo well equipped. Some problems including floor buckled, boogie boards broken, balcony needs repair (peeling paint & rusts)small fans filthy which we had to clean as best we could, bedroom screen locked shut & could not open, only partial ocean view.
Charles S. D.
November 2023

Condo came as advertised. Nicely redone inside with AC. We had 8 adults in our party and it worked great for us. Great location. Close to so many things in Poipu. The grounds are very clean. The views from the lanai and rooms on that side of the condo are amazing. It is quiet. I highly recommend this condo.
William S.
November 2023

This rental was perfect for us. Location is great. Close to so may restaurants, shops, beaches, site seeing and excursions! Plenty of parking available. Somewhat private and very quiet! The condo itself is well stocked with all you would need to prepare a home cooked meal. The AC units and ceiling fans in the bedrooms work fantastic! They were much needed during our stay as it was very hot. The living room and kitchen on the main floor do not have AC as advertised in the listing, but really this was not a problem. There are ceiling fans throughout and an extra fan that we used in the living room in addition to opening the windows and slider for the little time we did spend hanging around in the unit. There is a walking path that runs alongside and beyond the condo right along the water. Beautiful cliff walk with crashing waves. It’s a very nice walk in the right shoes. Great photo opportunities here, especially at sunrise and sunset. Also, you are walking distance to at least 3 beaches! There are 4 nice Tommy Bahama beach chairs with back pockets as well as 4 beach towels in the unit. The half bath on the main floor with full laundry was a nice perk. Upstairs, the two bedrooms both have attached private full bathrooms, which was great for two couples. There is ongoing construction outside the complex, also mentioned in the listing, but this had absolutely no impact on our stay and we still had a fabulous view of the water from the lanai. Would absolutely stay here again!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This condo was close to the all the places we wanted to go to. It was comfortable for all of my family members. I would recommend staying here.

November 2023

The photos of the property are accurate. The owners have added two portable AC units in the bedrooms which is helpful cooling the unit down on hot days/nights. Nice hot tub and pool in the middle of the complex. Great views toward the ocean with crashing waves on the rocks and Spinner Dolphins swimming by. Overall we were very happy with our stay and Evelyn at the property management company was very helpful during our stay.

Pro: -Clean unit -Excellent kitchen supplies -Easy access to coastal walking trails Con: -Noisy construction weekdays that also partially obscures the view (not clearly depicted on website) -Air conditioners only in two upstairs bedrooms (quite loud) -No screen on front door so unable to open front and back for cross-circulation to cool the main floor

We had a great vacay! There were 6 of us adults. Very comfortable place for everyone. I’m giving 5 stars for location and amenities. I’m giving 4 stars overall, as this unit needs alot of upgrading. The dishwasher was broken, but one is on order, We found the lanai very warm from the air conditioning unit blowing warm air. Having said that I would recommend this place. The pool was great and the views are amaze balls!
Judy D.
October 2023

Very comfortable, well furnished, quiet condo. The 3 bedrooms/bathrooms worked perfectly for our group. Terrific views of the ocean/sky through windows on each level. Watching dolphins was a special treat. Pool & hot tub were refreshing/relaxing. A quick walk to beaches, paths, stores, etc. Communication with property management was quick & helpful. We will definitely recommend this condo to others.
Kathy H.
October 2023

Words cannot express the outstanding view from the lanai. Dolphins were occasionally visible, huge splashes from waves hitting lava rocks is almost indescribable. Condo was very clean and offers comforts of home. The condo location offers so many advantages to restaurants, beaches and road system to all areas of the island. Excitement level will be high when you open the front door and see the ocean view. Evelyn, the property manager is wonderful. Very attentive and responsible. Highly recommend this condo.

Sunset views were amazing. Property was just as listed and had everything we needed for a perfect Hawaiian vacation! Plenty of linens, kitchen stocked with everything needed!

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.
Ashwini R.

This was our first trip to Kauai and the condo location was perfect. It is located very close to beaches and nice walking trails. The condo unit was very clean and was loaded with everything that my wife and I needed. The property manager was very responsive with any questions that we had. I would recommend this condo to anyone that is planning to stay in the Poipu area.

October 2023

Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as advertised. Extras are a real plus. Used the Beach chairs and umbrella daily. Great location. Loved old town Koloa.
Christy D.
October 2023

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.

The condo was perfect - It was comfortable and had plenty of space for the 6 of us. It was well stocked with everything we needed. And it had a beautiful view of the ocean. I was very thankful for the AC in the bedrooms! They did a really good job of keeping the whole condo a comfortable temperature. We didn’t really need anything during our stay but the one time I texted the property manager she was quick to respond! We would definitely stay here again.

Washing machine not working. Should have notified me ahead of time. Otherwise our stay was excellent.

October 2023

Great location overlooking ocean. This is a corner unit and fairly private. (The only unit better than this one, would be the top floor) Although, much of the complex is a little dated/worn... this condo was freshly up-to-date and beautiful. A/C is plus and porch is extra large. This two-bedroom has a bigger feel to it because of the large living/kitchen areas. Not all condo units in Hawaii have their own washer & dryer, but this one conveniently does (another bonus). Owner also provided boogie boards, snorkeling gear, and beach towels. We would stay again!
Lester T.
October 2023

Our first time to Hawaii, and it was magical! Waking up for a cup of coffee with a view, then a quick walk down to the most amazing snorkeling beach…. What a perfect way to start the day! We will definitely be back! Mahalo!

October 2023

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.
John S.
October 2023

This was overall a fantastic place to stay. Easy to access, amazing views and home away from home. We had a few things that need to be improved on. Dishwasher was broken and toaster didn’t work. The bathroom tile could use some cleaning and one of the three shower valves was broken. Overall, we had an amazing time and will return to this property next time!
Justin S.

Impossible to say enough about the entire experience. The property, the location, the host, the amenities were perfect. As we left the property today we agreed that we couldnt have done better even if we had researched all our options. Definitely coming back!

October 2023

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!
Stacie H.
October 2023

This condo has the best decor of any I have ever stayed at. Right on the water and the waves will rock you to sleep or keep you awake if you are a light sleeper. We absolutely love staying there and ate many great restaurants. Unfortunately the washing machine was awaiting parts and I wish we had known that in advance we might have planned a few things differently But in the long run it big no difference and we had a fabulous amazing vacation.
Susan P.
October 2023

Views and A/C were must haves and this room delivered! The whole unit stayed cool and we were really comfortable. The pictures dont fully do the view justice. You can feel the gentle thud of the bigger waves hitting the rocks just steps outside. You can watch a sunset while having a glass of wine in the evening.
Philip R.
October 2023

Location is definitely the main positive. The unit itself is quite old. The two smaller bedrooms in fact had a “wet” smell. The manager was easy to reach and was accommodating. Overall, if you’re looking to stay in an oceanfront place without forking over top dollar, this is the place. Just don’t be expecting the ritz carlton.
Tammy C.
October 2023

The condo is amazing! We have stayed at a different Vrbo nearby but 4303 was perfect. The AC in the bedroom was wonderful. The main floor gets warm in the evening. We will definitely be back. There is construction nearby but it was not disturbing at all.

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.

We had the perfect stay. Great condo with the perfect views. Watched dolphins and turtles everyday from our balcony. Koloa Kai management company was wonderful to work with and were in constant communication. I would recommend this condo and this company to anyone.

The property was perfect! Fabulous view of the ocean, updated interior, comfortable beds, great location, and walking distance to Poipu Beach. The house had everything we needed even condiments that we purchased without checking first. The beach chairs and towels were used and appreciated. The reason I titled this too perfect is because none of us wanted to leave. Can’t wait until next time!

This wonderful property made our trip spectacular! It is centrally located to a ton of activities and scenic spots as well as shopping and delicious restaurants. We were able to watch beautiful sunrises every day from a spot withing walking distance, along with sunsets and turtle watching at the nearby Poipu beach. It was only a short drive to amazing hiking, kayaking, and boat tours. The air conditioning worked great in the hot weather and the pool is right there for tsking a cool dip. It had all the amenities we needed with the added privacy of not being in a hotel. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Kauai.

I came here for my Honeymoon with my wife. Stayed two full weeks and could have stayed longer. This property was beautiful, had everything we could have wanted and more. Incredible location, view, and pool area also. Anne and Benjamin were super friendly and made sure we were accommodated and gave us good ideas of what to enjoy around the island as well. We will definitely be back.
Cody F.
September 2023

Amazing views, clean and very well-equipped condo (including snorkeling gear for four!). We used the common grills most nights and they were great (new, well-maintained). The only nit is that the AC tends to be quite loud so we would have to turn it off at night. But all in all a great stay and we would certainly stay again.

Spacious and clean. Great view. Close to the parking so it wasn’t hard to transport luggage. They had everything we needed with toddlers. They only had a shower but it was fine because my kids like to take showers.

This rental is everything that has been written about it and more! The welcome basket was unexpected, but much appreciated. Neither of us had even had a papaya before in our life! YUM! The nightly sunsets were a must and just beautiful, dinners were eaten on the lanai as well. Mornings were spent with coffee and breakfast on the lainai. Being so close to the ocean was the best. We understand why so many repeat visitors have come before us and we hope to become a repeat renter as well. We didn't want to leave!

September 2023

The location is great: the complex is right on the water (the unit is not). The nearby coast is rocky, with beaches a 15+ minute walk in either direction. The kitchen and bath are modern, and the kitchen is well equipped. There are a few things to be aware of (Sept, 2023): 1. Photos show the unit's living room with an outdoors porch and beyond that a lawn of green. That lawn is now a construction zone, with a view includes dirt and building materials. 2. The unit really needs new windows / doors: during our stay there was a constant whistling noise at the front door and the upstairs front bedroom, apparently caused moderate breeze (didn't seem that hard, and after all it's quite close to the sea). It was loud enough to the audible even with the bedroom door closed. (Fortunately we sleep with earplugs, always recommended when traveling.) Also several of the windows were heavily fogged from age. 3. The photos don't show the AC unit in each of the 2 bedrooms. These are floor type units with a flexible exhaust pipe that leads to the window. Even with earplugs we found them too loud to use while sleeping.

My family of 5 adults and 3 children had a wonderful stay in this condo. The complex was so laid back, just what we hoped for. The size of this unit was perfect. We found ample kitchenware, as we cooked and bbq’d daily. The beds were very comfortable and our teen loved getting their own space with the overflow mattress that was provided. The convenient location, walk to both Poipu and Shipwreck Beaches were awesome bonuses. Every day we saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets just steps from our Lanai. The children loved the pool and it was super handy for the adults to watch them. Both the owner and management company were so helpful and quick to respond to our questions. I would highly recommend this unit for other families.

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!

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.

This place is a great spot to stay. The property is a little dated on the outside, but updated on the inside. They are retrofitting the balconies so the railing had some caution mesh on it with a sign advising not to lean on/ stay away. The only gripe I have and feel should be mentioned is that the lanai/ balcony has the AC fan/ power supply on it ( not pictured in description) which blows hot air right at/ onto the table and chairs when you are out there standing/ sitting. It also has some normal sound that naturally comes with it. Our way around it was to shut all the AC units off when using the lanai. Kind of a bummer at first but we got over it pretty quick. We would definitely consider staying again for the location and the size of the unit. We had a great time in Kauai.

Excellent equipped kitchen. Close to great beaches. Nicely located. Note: no air conditioning. Can get really warm. Unfortunately we could not open the window in the main bedroom. Overall we recommend the nice condo.

This property is all about the view. If you enjoy views of the ocean and falling asleep to sounds of crashing waves then this is the place for you. I don’t think there is another property in Poipu with a better view of the ocean. It is breathtakingly beautiful. We loved to sit on the balcony and watch the crashing waves. We saw turtles every day swimming below and a few times saw spinner dolphins passing by. The proximity to Koloa and Poipu Beach is also a plus. The condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a nice sized living area, and kitchen. We did bring a few minor issues to the owner’s attention and he was quick to respond. He offered to look into the issues while we were there, but opted for him to look into them after we left. . They did not take away from our comfort during our stay. Chad was very easy to communicate with. Also this unit has air conditioning, which I feel is a must in Hawaii. The humidity can at times be a bit much. I think the price point on his condo is on point. The view and location can’t be beat.
