Poipu Makai B3 is located on a bluff a couple of yards from the water with stunning, full uninhibited views of the ocean. Enhance your senses – the visual beauty of the waves crashing against the shoreline and the gentle sound of the living and breathing sea. Spend hours counting the turtles swimming at your doorstep or the whales and dolphins playing or breaching while you relax surrounded by tranquility and peacefulness on the large lanai. Your oasis is only a half-mile walk to world renowned Brennecke’s Beach and Poipu Beach where you can choose to play in the water next to sunning sea turtles, snorkel or surf.

The 1600 square foot 2 story townhouse underwent a complete renovation which was finished in June, 2022 in order to make your stay even more comfortable, a home away from home. The townhouse is situated to take advantage of the coastal breeze which incessantly permeates throughout the unit. Air conditioning is available in all 3 bedrooms and the family room for warmer days and nights. The two master bedroom suites are privately situated with King sized beds and their own en-suite bathrooms. The exceptionally large second-floor master bathroom has a walk-in shower with a separate large soaking tub and a beautiful spa-like atmosphere. The third bedroom on the first floor, with its own private lanai, can be arranged as two twin beds or configured as a King bed as you choose.

The sunlit kitchen faces the ocean and is adorned with new grained wood cabinets, contrasting black granite countertops and contemporary stainless steel appliances. Eat your meals al fresco with an unobstructed view of the ocean on the large solid natural wood dining table steps outside the kitchen. The adjoining oversized family room has a large sectional where everyone can relax after a fulfilling day exploring the island. New comfortable furnishings offer a contemporary Hawaiian flare with up-to-date technologies – 3 smart TVs, the highest-speed internet on Kauai and a Sonos surround-sound system to listen to your playlist. An architecturally impressive spiral staircase connects the family room with the large loft, a small oasis in itself.

The townhouse is located in a quiet, pristine, exclusive 15 unit complex with a soaking pool and barbecue for your convenience. Please note that the townhouse is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible or suitable for people with mobility issues; multiple stairs are required to access the Penthouse.

For your enjoyment, access to the upscale Poipu Beach Athletic Club is free. A 5 minute drive, or approximately 1 mile away, you and your guests have access to a beautiful pool with sand beach and waterslide ideal for kids and grownups alike. In addition, PBAC has an expansive indoor/outdoor gym (only in Hawaii!) with free weights and machines, aerobic equipment (bikes and treadmills), fitness classes and yoga. 4 USTA tennis courts, 3 pickleball courts and 2 basketball half-courts are also available to you in addition to showers and locker rooms.

This is an amazing place to stay. Watching the sea turtles swimming in the water every morning and hearing the waves crashing against the rocks every night was a wonderful way to start and end each day. In addition, the kitchen was well stocked and they had all the stuff you would need for a beach day, from high quality chairs and umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys. They even include a heavy duty wagon to haul everything in. Will be recommending this place to everyone we know heading to Kauai. Mahalo for being such wonderful hosts!

The view was spectacular! The constant sound of surf and turtles swimming nearby was a highlight. The townhome was equipped with everything we needed. The room air-conditioners made sleeping more comfortable.

Our trip was wonderful made only better by our stay in this condo. It was just as advertised, well maintained, and clean. The views were spectacular, and we especially enjoyed seeing the turtles swimming about every day. The nightly sunsets were breathtaking.

We came to Kauai for my 60th Birthday. We adventured during the day and hung out mid day in the townhouse. The views are amazing. The property is exactly as pictured. All beds comfortable. Kitchen was stocked with spices/sugar and some coffee. There’re beach chairs/umbrellas and boogie boards. My only suggestion would be to get a screen for the living room sliding window for the mid day sun! It was kinda brutal. The master bedroom upstairs was cool enough but there was no way for me to get ready in that bathroom upstairs after a shower. Too hot and humid to blow dry my hair or apply makeup up there. I would stay there again without question, but these 2 things could be improved upon.

The townhome was beautiful! Just as pictured in the listing. Check in was easy, and the place was immaculate. The host was very accomodating when I asked if we could check in a little bit early because our flight landed earlier in the day. This was our first time to Kauai, and the host provided several recommendations to us ahead of time which was very helpful. My husband and I stayed in the upstairs master, and loved the sound of the ocean every night through the open window. Our adult kids with their sig.others stayed in the other bedrooms downstairs. Kitchen was well stocked, and they also had beach chairs, coolers, boogie boards, etc that we made good use of. We saw pods of dolphins off of the lanai several mornings, and went down to Poipu Beach to see the sea turtles come in at sunset one night, which was a very cool experience. We made use of the athletic club that was included - had dinner at the restaurant there one night, enjoyed the pool, and even used the gym facilities one morning. Would definitely recommend this townhome. Mahalo!

This condo was exactly as described, with breathtaking ocean views and stunning sunsets. From the balcony, we enjoyed watching turtles feed along the shoreline and whales play in the distance. The Poipu Country Club was a fantastic bonus—offering fun activities like pickleball with other groups and basketball, as well as a relaxing pool and poolside bar service. One evening, I even grilled a delicious shrimp dinner on the bbq available. I would definitely recommend staying here.

The table off of the kitchen on the deck was the perfect place to sit for breakfast and evening pupus.There was a huge TV in the livingroom where we all could sit and enjoying viewing.The kitchen was well equipped.The host provided two bottles of wine, a red and a white, plus coffee, which was very nice.The things we wished were better maintained was the porch light, which was out the entire week we were there. We had to use our cell phones in a dark corridor to see.Although everyone took their shoes off inside the condo, the floors were quite dirty, and my socks would be black on the bottom. We put clean socks on daily to walk on the floors. We wish there had been better instructions for finding the condo. We had to run up and down different flights of stairs looking for our unit. We arrived at night and it wasn’t easy to find our condo in the dark, especially with the porch light out.We wish there had been a Kurieg coffee maker, because some of us drank decaf, and some regular. Using a drip coffee maker made it difficult.

Absolutely stunning condo that’s even better in person than the already gorgeous pictures posted! You are greeted instantly with an incredible view and tons of natural light filling the apartment, and the sounds of the intense waves crashing up against the rocks. We left the windows open each night to enjoy those sounds all night long from the master bedroom. The complex is safe and quiet, the apartment is clean and comfortable with a huge smart tv, well stocked and just an overall fantastic stay. The property manager was incredibly helpful and such a sweet person who goes above and beyond to accommodate and welcome guests. Mahalo for having us!

This property is located very close to the southernmost point of Kuai 'i. It is within walking distance to Poipu Beach and Brennecke's Beach; short drive to many restaurants. The balcony offered views of sunrise and sunset every day, sea turtles and whales. The bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. The place is even better than the photos. We had an outstanding trip. Host Paul was very communicative and helpful. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The access to the beach club was an added bonus especially on the departure day.

Insider tips

Good to know at Poipu Makai

  • Past the grassy lawn, you can walk down to a lava rock ledge above the crashing surf. It makes a lovely sunset perch, with sea turtles often riding the waves below.
  • For an easy morning walk, follow the trails along the coastline from right outside the door, with blue waves breaking on black lava rock beside you.
  • Between December and April, keep an eye on the horizon: humpback whales often breach offshore, and spinner dolphins pass by year-round.
