Vacasa was very responsive and helpful with regards to the condo. The condo was very clean, and in a good location to walk to the beach or coastal trail. Although there was no AC, having the windows open provided a nice breeze. There was basic gear provided, and most all that was needed in the kitchen. Overall, we were happy with our two night stay!

Nice condo, true to the description and photos. Very well stocked kitchen, and a closet full of beach gear: umbrella, beach bags, beach towels, body boards... The separation between the master bedroom and the living room is a Japanese style sliding paper wall, so not a lot of privacy, which did not bother us since it was just the two of us. Also, the condo is located on the lowest floor, below the level of the walkway to the buildings, which means that the windows of the second bedroom and the kitchen are at the level of said walkway. Not an issue in the kitchen, but it makes the second bedroom a bit cave-like.It's very close to the ocean, and we enjoyed sleeping with open windows, to the sound of waves. There is a hiking trail behind the fence along the patio, that gets busy in the morning with hikers and joggers, but it's a gorgeous trail along the coast line, passing by a lava arch, the beautiful Grand Hyatt, Shipwreck Beach, and all the way to beautiful bluffs. It's about a ten minute walk to Poipu Beach. We enjoyed the pool and the hot tub after our hike. Overall a lovely stay.

The unit was downstairs, so people walking along the fence to access the shoreline could look down right into the living room. After the unit was remodeled, the curtains were not replaced. The air conditioner units in the living room and master bedroom made an intermittent buzzing sound. Hope those issues can be fixed before future guests come. Even though the unit was older, it has been remodeled and everything is fine. It was very close to the sea arch so that was neat to see. Parking was ample. Management was very responsive and friendly.

Great location and beautiful property. Family of 5 adults with one toddler had lots of room and loved the pool. Property management also called to ensure we had received the Tsunami warning! The sense of community that we experienced in Koala with hundreds of other evacuees was true Hawaiian spirit! Though we have been Maui visitors for years we all fell in love with Kauai!

This was our second stay at the property. The location is great and the views are incredible. There are a few drawbacks to the property itself and those are minor. The owners and managing company were very responsive which we appreciated

The overall was stay was 4/5. There was a problem with the A/C. I did appreciate Amy stepping up and getting it fixed, tech was finishing but upon are arrival. Location was great! The cleanliness was good. There were some type of stains on inside the tub , we did see a dead water bug behind the sofa. I felt that they could have cleaned the sliding door windows there was a film over them. I would stay here again it was amazing other than those details listed. You could hear the waves and short walking distance to poipu beach ! 4/5 over all.

We usually stay in Princeville but decided to stretch out try South Shore. It was very nice. Close to shopping, restaurants and local businesses. Even went to the Farmers Market at Kukui Grove.We did travel to Kaapa and went to Kealia Beach. Good body surfing conditions there. We'll be back!

Great location, quiet, clean, right on the water. The pictures do not do justice. The pool, BBQ, and parking were all easily accessed and clean. Full washer and dryer, beach chairs, ice chests, towels and umbrella were available. Hoping to come back!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this condo unit. It's a very clean unit, well equipped and the development grounds are beautiful and well kept. The location was perfect for us. The pool, and ocean views are just steps away. Poipu Beach and restaurants are a stroll or short drive. The use of beach equipment and a wagon were a real plus!

The unit was super old. It smelled musty and like a smoker previously lived there. The beds are very uncomfortable and feel cheaply made. The beach chairs were both rusted and busted, the umbrella was unusable. The ACs made a loud noise every 2-3 minutes. The kitchen was sparingly stocked with cooking items. The carpets and furniture felt waxy and were stained. The pictures on VRBO do not reflect what you actually get. Those pictures make the unit seem way nicer. Overall I would not recommend this unit to anyone to rent at this price point.

This was our second or third time in this unit - we love the Makahuena and this unit ticks all our boxes. AC throughout (just make sure it's off in the morning to truly enjoy coffee on the lanai), everything works, it's clean, wonderful communication, no surprises. We will be back again and again.

We had a family of 8 staying. The condo is in a good location with the parking lot and easy access to the pool and pickleball court. Each bedroom and living area had air conditioning which was nice to have. Being on the ground floor, the grandkids could run around outside easily.

This was our 50th state to vist as a family. Location was key for us since we were exploring the whole island. We really enjoyed this . Its clean quiet place with a beautiful view while walking to your condo. Manager and Host easy to reach and reapond back in a timely manner. We accidentally thought we booked for our full time here but realized we missed a day. Host and manager worked worked with us and since no one was booked we were able to book another night.

Our stay started off great by using the Poipu Athletic Club facilities, as we were not able to check in as we transitioned between check out of our other unit on the island. This was a great option. The unit was well equiped, with a lovely view of the sunsets and the sounds of the ocean from the lanai, as long as you didn't mind the parking lot conveniently located in front of the unit. Crashing ocean waves could easily be heard nearby as you peeked out at the ocean. The single portable AC unit was not near enough to cool the entire unit, but with strategic placement, the front bedroom was kept cool, while the back bedroom (which we did not use) was cooled with open windows and fans. The washer/dryer was great to have in unit, as were the beach amenities for the trips out. Overall, it was a great location and well equipped unit.

Our time in the condo was great, there was plenty of room, great location, excellent communication, and beautiful views from the lanai. Everything was great even with some WiFi issues they got resolved the next day. The only thing that could have been improved on was the beds were not the comfortable, in both rooms.

This gem is nestled in the perfect spot! A walking trail leads you to Shipwrecked Beach and you can easily walk along the road to Poipu Beach Park in the opposite direction. Although we drove to the beaches when we were going to set up camp but being able to walk to see a sunset is perfect! The unit was welcoming and served our family well. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare dinners. We enjoyed eating and playing games at the dining room table. Sitting on the lanai was very relaxing in the morning. Our sons enjoyed walking to the scenic lookout and watching the crashing waves along the cliffs just steps from the unit. The pool and spa were very refreshing and nice in the evening when you wanted to unwind after a day at the beach. The air conditioning units work amazing! The beds were comfortable. We truly appreciated having the washer and dryer. This is a wonderful place to stay! Recommendations: Tunnels Beach, located in north shore, has the best snorkeling. Parking is limited so get there early (8am)! Brennecke’s Shaved Ice in Poipu was the best and Lampert’s Ice Cream in Poipu was super tasty!

This was a very convenient place to stay in Poipu! Easy access to everything. The home was very clean and had nice newer finishes. We had everything we needed for our week. Balcony views were very nice and the overall property was quiet from 9pm to 9am. My wife and 2 teenage daughters loved it. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a fantastic stay! Our family of five (2 adults and 3 older teens) found this condo to be absolutely perfect. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax, and we really appreciated having two bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a washer/dryer—it made our stay so comfortable and convenient.
The condo was thoughtfully stocked with beach essentials like chairs, an umbrella, a boogie board, and a cooler, which made our beach outings even more enjoyable. We also enjoyed relaxing at the condo pool—it was a great option for downtime between beach trips. The location couldn’t have been better—close to all the beautiful south side beaches and great restaurants.
The property manager was also wonderful—very responsive and helpful when we had a couple of questions about the parking pass and door key.
We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay!

We have stayed in other units in the same complex, and decided to splurge this time by getting one at the ocean's edge. The wildlife viewing from the lanai was outstanding, there is a small blow-hole in the cliffs that is fun to watch, and the sunsets were memorable. We had plenty of space, comfortable beds, and the unit was well stocked with kitchenware and bath needs. The owner/manager responded quickly to any questions I had. Would love to stay again!

The condo had a good amount of space, making it comfortable for a large family. However, the queen room had a strong urine smell that was hard to ignore. We ended up purchasing air fresheners in order improve its small. The main bathroom also had that small. The kitchen was very basic. The water pressure was poor and hot water in the showers were inconsistent. We were also disappointed with the limited pool hours, the fact that we were allowed access at 9am which seems late.

This beautiful condo has a beautiful easterly view of the Pacific. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony with a cocktail and watch the ocean. The complex has a wonderful view and a popular place with benches to watch the sunset. It is conveniently located to all activities on the southern shore and about an hours drive to Waimea Canyon. Breathtaking!

This condo is neat and clean, nice upgraded kitchen. Bed was comfortable and the walking path was so nice with beautiful ocean views. The only concern was the 2nd bedroom smelled very musty, and for us there was a concern since our daughter has bad allergies to mold so we weren’t able to use that room.

Property was right on the ocean in a medium sized condo complex. This property is on the end of the building with views in 3 directions including the ocean from the lanai and master bedrm. Quiet and pretty area near koloa.Kitchen and downstairs renovated, upstairs not. Portable AC upstairs only. Fans in all rooms. Downstairs got hot but opening the front door let in a cross breeze.Pool, pickleball court, hot tub. Lots of stairs to go up and down. Walkingndistance to poipu beach, and the lava arch. Nice cliff walk too all the way to the hyatt grand. Beach gear provided was good.Management company communicated well with all the instructions needed.Easy parking out front.Overall a good badic cozy apartment on the water.

We were very comfortable and enjoyed all the amenities. Really appreciate the pool toys. Beautiful view from the lanai .Not a fan of the glass tops on the tables, very sharp edges. One of the glass tops was chipped with scotch tape on it. My husband sustained a small cut from it. It would be nice to have plastic cups for the pool.
