We thoroughly enjoyed the location, convenience, and comfort of this property. We appreciated the availability of basic supplies for our stay. Being right on the Poipu Cliff trail was wonderful, and proximity to Poipu Beach amenities and restaurants was perfect. Lovely views from the condo, if a bit windy!

Great location on the island, not remote and not too touristy. Management group very responsive and friendly.

For a family vacation, this property had everything we needed and much more. We were very comfortable. I recommend this place.

Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The condo is very nice, well appointed with beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and some snorkel gear. The pictures of the views are accurate. The ocean is right there. The pictures have just been brightened. It is worth noting that the condo does not have AC, which is accurate in the listing. And it was 75-85 the whole time. With all the windows open and fans on, it was tolerable. But there are a few hours during the day when it is indeed quite hot. We got used to it after the first couple of days. We also kept the windows closed during the hottest part of the day to keep the morning coolness in and that worked fairly well. The loft is actually quite spacious and a nice extra place to hang out at night when it’s less hot. The kitchen had most of what we needed but nothing extra. No ziplock bags, foil or anything like that. The complex seems nice and safe. My 5 year old enjoyed the pool. But not all guests followed the quiet hour rules. And since everyone has their windows open, you can hear everything. Management was super responsive. We had an issue with one of the fans and they came to fix it right away. The location is great for south shore activities. Overall, it was a lovely home away from home for our party of 5 (4 adults and one child).

Nice clean and well appointed apartment. It came with beach towels, chairs and an umbrella for visiting the local beaches. 5 stars!

Everything is as it is stated. The property is pretty, clean, and in a great location. Explore the bluffs and watch the dolphin/whales from the Lanai.

We booked the property last minute as friends had to back out and we didnt need a 5br house. We have visited Poipu 7 times and this was our worst experience.
The condo itself was ok. Its a 2br (the loft is unusable unless you are a rock climber at night). The location at the point in Poipu makes it incredibly windy, and the small outside patios were unusable as a result. The main view is blocked by another condo and it is impossible to see a sunset from inside the condo.
The condo surfaces were sticky upon arrival, so we had to use wipes on everything. The fan in the LR (and light) would not turn off, the dryer didnt work, electricity was out in one of the BRs and the smart TV wasnt hooked up to the internet. That's all annoying but no big deal. We had to deal with 3 separate visits, and they couldnt solve the fan ("no batteries on the island") or the electricity issue (more on this later).
What was a big deal was during a rainstorm at 930p, the leak above the pillow in the primary bedroom and the water pulsing inside two walls during rain, creating bulges under the paint (I have photos). We had to move out of that bedroom. We called the management company who provided the following options
1. pull the mattress onto the floor and ignore the leak (there was no room to do that)
2. sleep in the loft (with a vertical 8' ladder and no access to a bathroom).
3. sleep downstairs on the couch (note that the fan and light was on, permanently, as they could not fix the remote or turn it off).
The next day, management called back, told us that the maintenance supervisor was unavailable, but would it be ok to send someone over who "looked rough and unprofessional and I dont know him but he should be ok". I told them to start on the roof and call us back. They never did. They offered us nothing, not even an apology.
I love Kauai and Poipu and we will be back next December, but would never stay at Makahuena or any property associated wth Alekona Kauai. They are incompetent and have no consideration for guests. I have texts and photos documenting all of this.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo is well situated in Poipu and central to everything. Plenty of space for our family.

We had a great time in Kauai. The condo in Poipu was perfect for our trip. Watching the sunrise from the balcony was a perfect way to begin each day. We loved the walking trail along the coastline. And the living room / kitchen setup led to nice leisurely evenings unwinding as we listened to the waves. We'd definitely recommend staying at this condo!
