Beautiful view from condo. Walked to rock cliffs every am and saw turtles swimming. Good supplies with TP, shampoo, body wash, and conditioner in bath. Kitchen nice was equipped and had drip coffee. Hawaiian snack and 1 coffee pack was left for our enjoyment and everything was very good. Also the beach supplies with towels, chairs, snorkeling were very nice to take to beach. Nice size for me, my husband and 2 boys.

The condo was clean, nice appliances, comfortable. Only problem was a star trek futuristic shower in the smaller bathroom, the property managers sent a long text of instructions but we were on vacation and didn't want to spend long amounts of time learning a shower so we took turns in the other one. View was great. Property managers answered every question nicely. Every one was kind.

The condo was very clean - never saw a bug and had everything we needed including plenty of towels for the beach and boogie boards. It has a nice view of the ocean from the lanai and is adjacent to a great coastal trail that connects to Shipwreck Beach and other trails.

The house was exactly what we expected and we were so grateful to have this place to call home for the week. The hosts/property management team were very welcoming and quick to respond whenever I reached out. I will definitely be recommending this place to everyone I know who’s interested in visiting Kauai.

Great location in POIPU. Near shopping, dining, beach. Pool and hot tub were great to relax in after a day out and about. Our ocean view was spectacular. Communication with rental agent was great. No issues at all. Highly recommend.

Best appointed condo we’ve ever stayed in. Kitched stocked with everything a cook would need. Newly renovated with a/c big plus. Management not onsite but responsive. Actually had washcloths and towels. Fun place to stay!

Absolutely Perfect Stay in Poipu!We had such an amazing time at this beautiful place in Poipu! The kitchen was top-notch—with the best appliances I’ve seen in a vacation rental. While I didn’t end up cooking, I wanted to, which says a lot! The home was decorated super cute, with thoughtful attention to every detail that made it feel extra special.The location couldn’t have been better—close to everything we wanted to do! It was an easy drive to Port Allen for our boat ride along the Nā Pali Coast, just minutes from Poipu Beach where we saw sea turtles, and also convenient for our kayak adventure on the Wailua River.The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive—bringing us extra beach towels when we needed them. We truly had everything we could’ve asked for. Highly recommend staying here—you’ll love it just as much as we did!

We had a great time staying here! The condo was fully equipped with everything that a family needs. All appliances, bathrooms, and kitchen seemed fairly new which was a huge bonus. All beds and living room furniture were comfortable leaving us feeling well rested during our stay. The mini split air conditioner kept the place at a comfortable temperature. We enjoyed having morning coffee on the lanai with the ocean view. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway to Kauai.

This spacious condo was good for three guys on a business trip to Kauai. The description is accurate, so I won't run down what the accommodations are like but instead go through some of the things I liked and where there is room for improvement.First of all, the kitchen is excellent, and this is so rare in a VRBO. Other than a curious lack of can opener, the kitchen is very well-appointed. There are plenty of pots, pans and cooking gear. There was virtually nothing we couldn't find to make whatever dish we wanted. Need a cheese grater? Here it is! Something to store leftovers? Plenty. It's one of best kitchens of any VRBO I've stayed at (and I stay at a LOT for business).There was plenty of beach stuff for families going to the beach (towels, boogie boards, even crocs). And it's walking distance to a fabulous beach.There is a pull-out couch for an extra person if need be.A few minor complaints. First, the condo smells mildly of cat urine. It's not overpowering, but it's there every time you come in. Since the whole place is tile, the smell must be in the furniture or area rug, so it should be easy to remedy. But for this kind of money, I should not smell cat pee every time I open the door.The second thing to know if that the AC unit is located only in the main living area. So the bedrooms do not get very much cooling. At a minimum you will have to sleep with the bedroom doors open, or the windows open to stay comfortable.

Excellent property. Well appointed and exactly as advertised. The location is prime as you are able to walk to many beaches. We enjoyed the amenities on the property including the jacuzzi, pool, and sunset overlook. We wouldn't hesitate to book this spot again should we return to Kauai.

Start to stop, wonderful process. Good communication & instructions.Unit was beautiful. Great updates.Excellent location.Front door hard to open & unlock.Screen doors on patio need some love. Lock on sliding glass door was broken. This did not impact our stay. Highly recommend this unit & service.

The unit was recently renovated and was very nicely done, as well as comfortable. The only negative was the noise. We had people staying above us and heard every footstep as well as talking which disrupted sleeping. Overall it was a wonderful stay!

This place was amazing. I would stay here again for sure. Excellent trails by the water and walking distance to 3 beaches. It had everything you needed..chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, a cooler, snorkel gear etc. The bed was so comfy and it was so clean and well laid out with the master bedroom having its own bathroom and on the other side of the condo was another bedroom and bathroom. The pool, hottub and BBQ are was very nice as well. Definitely a 10/10.

Insider tips

Good to know at Makahuena

  • Just through the property gate, a coastal path reaches a lava arch within minutes, then continues past the Grand Hyatt and Shipwreck Beach onto the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail's ocean cliffs.
  • At either end of the day, stroll the short paved path to the oceanfront benches and the rocky point for sunrise and sunset. From December to April, humpbacks often spout offshore.
  • Late in the afternoon, walk down to Poipu Beach, where green sea turtles commonly rest on the sand into the evening and Hawaiian monk seals sometimes haul out too.
