Overall good stay. Great views from property. Upstairs neighbor very noisy. 25 a day for Poipu athletic club a waste of money, should be optional. Should provide key for trail access.

Great location with amazing sunrise and sunset ocean views! Sunset is viewable on the lanai, and sunrise is an easy paved walk within the small Makahuena community to the benches. There is also a gate that will take you out to the public walking path to see the lava arch (2 min), walk to Shipwreck beach (15 min) to see the monk seal, and hike the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail, where you will be rewarded with more amazing views of the ocean side cliffs and mountains! Brennecke beach (great for boogie boarding) and Poipu beach (large sea turtles) was also a short drive away. The property was easy to access since it was right off the main entrance and provided plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear, beach towels, and beach toys. The beds were comfortable, and the decor was just right. A/C units are available in each of the bedrooms, but it was noisy for sleeping so we had the fans on at night instead. The main living area was warmer since A/C isn't available throughout the unit, but it was a comfortable temperature with the ceiling fans. The main shared bathroom had an odor; otherwise, no issues with 5 people showering back-to-back after a day at the beach as long as the last person is ok with a cooler shower. Large washer and dryer came in handy with detergent provided. We didn't use the TV (at first glance, it didn't appear straightforward to use) since we were out and about most of the day. It was also a short drive to The Shops at Kukui'ula and Old Koloa Town for food and shopping. Lihue airport is about 30 minutes away, and the Costco near the airport is a great place to pick up Hawaiian snacks (lots of local snack choices like giant furikake shrimp chips that we don't get on the mainland), Hawaiian shirts and sarongs, and sushi (we had a sample of the crunch roll deluxe and decided to grab one). Don't forget to grab your Hawaiian donuts early because the bakeries are near Lihue and are closed SUN / MON. Those that are open run out of malasadas by 8AM!

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.

The property was gorgeous! We had ocean views from the lanai, as well as it overlooking the pool. Noise does travel in this complex, but the quiet hours from 9pm-9am really help.

I stayed at this condo with my immediate family (husband and two teens age 14 and 16) and my mother- and father-in-law who are in their 60s. Everyone was very comfortable and slept well while we were here, which is saying something because many of my family members have trouble sleeping when we are at home. Beds were comfortable, condo was clean, affordable and decorated super cute, and the ocean view was awesome! It’s so relaxing to wake up every day and eat breakfast on the lanai listening to the birds and watching the ocean. Just minutes from Poipu beach. I’d definitely rent here again!!

Enjoyed our stay in Poipu. We were 5 adults spending one week. Clean, lots of water toys and beach chairs. Location great, walking distance to beach ( 5-7 minutes) walking distance to heritage trail a must do. Views of ocean were great as pictures show. Condo comfortably fits 5 adults. Beds comfortable, has air conditioning but never used as breeze from ocean was enough. Building itself is showing its age, there is work being done on building but never disrupted our stay. We had a screen missing from one of the windows on arrival. Vicki Agor very prompt in correcting issue.

Upon opening front door we noticed food crumbs on rug under the coffee table. As we entered the condo we saw that the floor had not been swept or cleaned at all. It was covered with food, sand and hair. We also found an entire load of towels in the dryer that I ended up folding and placing on the kitchen table for housekeeping to put away. We contacted the property manager who told us she would send someone right away. We only stayed 3 nights and on the evening of the 3 night the towels were put away and a vacuum appeared but floor was never cleaned. If property was better maintained by housekeeping I am sure I could give a much better review as it’s a good location and a good set up for at least 6 people.

This is our second time staying in the complex. It's well located within walking distance to Poipu beach (10 min). The exterior lighting is poor but that is common in Kauai. The condo had a good layout for 4 adults & 2 kids. The beds were comfortable and there was AC in each room (though it was too noisy to have on at night). There was also a good supply of beach stuff. The kitchen was not well appointed and we found we had to wash dishes twice a day to have enough glasses and cutlery for dinner. There were a couple of minor maintenance issues noted and we had to buy new lightbulbs for the kitchen. Other than that it was comfortable and had a nice view of the pool and ocean from the lanai.

The property was nice, and was plenty big enough for the 6 of us (4 adults, 2 kids). The floor was very dirty, and there were ants on the counter. Both of these problems are pretty easily solved, and hopefully will be in short order. The main issue is, when we informed the management office, the response was very non-caring.

We enjoyed this condo! The location was perfect and it was fully stocked with everything you need! It's a little older of a condo and a tad outdated. . Our one and only issue was with the staff. Our first morning in the condo we called for the WIFI password since there wasn't one in the condo. Vicky the woman that answered our call said she was on her lanai feeding her cats and to call back later. I asked if there was something in the condo that had the info/password so I didnt have to call back. She very rudely said, "I'm sure there is" not the Aloha spirit we were hoping for. We hope that the next guest are treated a little nice.

Our family of 6 enjoyed a wonderful week at the Makahuena. The condo had plenty of space for us. The trade winds and fans did a good job of keeping the space from getting too hot. The view was amazing. The pool was great if we needed some non-beach time. The place was stocked with everything we needed. The Poipu365 team was very accommodating. We did this week as a last minute add on to our trip and they jumped to make it possible. Overall an awesome experience.

My husband and I vacationed in Kauai with our daughter and her husband for a weekend getaway as part of their visit from Massachusetts. The unit we rented was beautifully furnished and equipped with beach gear and a very nicely supplied kitchen. We had most everything we needed to have a lovely base from which to visit Waimea,Koloa,Lihus And Kapaa. Great eateries available both casual and fancier for celebration. All of us enjoyed our little retreat for the weekend.

Our family of 5 stayed here very comfortably. It is the perfect location -- ocean view but still easily able to access other areas of the island. We didn't make use of the beach chairs and boogie boards in the closets but it was nice knowing they were available. It was great to have access to beach towels and washer/ dryer as well. The first night we accidentally forgot and left muffins on the counter and woke up to what looked like ghost ants on them. So make sure you don't leave food out. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would love to visit again!

Pros: Great location and property amenities. Tons of toys, snorkel sets, boogie boards and more which were great for the kids.
Cons:
The primary bedroom is a 3 slide semi transparent door that doesn't lock. The light issue mentioned in other reviews still exists and I probably just didn't read close enough but there wasn't any air conditioning units.
Over all It was a great stay.

What an amazing stay! They had everything you needed from bath essentials to kitchen wear. And of course, the ocean view from the balcony was gorgeous! Every morning, the balcony was the meeting spot! It was clean, comfortable, and a convenient location. It was a little warm since there wasn’t AC, but nothing all the fans and fresh air couldn’t take care of. A portable AC unit could come in handy though! A few lights were out in the kitchen, but it didn’t bother us too much. We would definitely book this place again. :)

Let me just say Kauai is expensive by Arizona standards so perhaps we expected too much. My last visit to Hawaii we stayed at a Westin timeshare which probably spoiled me forever. This condo served our needs well but it was not as luxurious as we had hoped. The location is great. The furnishings and some of the fixtures are a bit run down but talking to other guests we did not feel we were overcharged comparatively. It was really hot the week we visited and the trade winds helped since no air conditioning but some of our windows did not have screens and so we were reluctant to leave them open. The kitchen was very dark because 3 lights were out. I notified management via email but did not get a response so I think they already knew about it because there was a lamp in the kitchen. That leads me to believe it is an electrical problem and not just burned out bulbs. I didn’t want to spend precious vacation time pursuing it so we just coped. Also the dining room rug is turned up on one end and it is a trip hazard. We thought about turning it around but did not want to move the heavy glass top table so we just put a couple of books on it to hold it down. Bathrooms are nice but shower is a bit slippery so owners might consider putting in a grab bar. We were pleased with how well the condo was stocked with everything we needed, soap, shampoo, garbage bags, coffee filters, even sunscreen and everything for the beach from towels to chairs to boogie board to cooler….very thoughtful. We really enjoyed the Poipu Athletic Club membership and wished we had visited it sooner. One caveat, do not think you can get around the island without a car…..and rental cars are really expensive right now.

Pros
- Great view from the lanai of pool/hot tub and still had ocean views
- Hot tub and pool were great - and all of the extra towels
- Quiet condo environment
- So great to have beach chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear, floaties, cooler etc.
- Spacious for a group of 5 adults
Cons
- Convenient location but a 10 min walk to the closest swimmable beach
- You could not touch the curtain rod in the second shower or it would fall down
- A handful of kitchen lights didn't have bulbs so it was fairly dark
- No AC but it wasn't a big problem for us (we only slept with a sheet and fan on high)

When we opened the door to our unit, it was evident that it had not been cleaned. I called the management office and they were here immediately. They explained that there was a mix up in scheduling but they would have the room ready in 2 hours. We went to dinner and while we were dining received a call that the room was ready. Several other small issues but they were all resolved quickly. Vicki returned text messages and phone calls immediately and was a joy to work with.
The unit is nicely decorated with everything you need including some seasoning (salt, pepper, sugar, soy sauce etc). There are many other useful things like bogie boards, coolers, Beach towels and chairs, board games, books.
The property is located right on the ocean. You have view of the ocean as well as the pool. If you open the sliders and the front door, you'll feel a strong, Cool breeze most of the day. There' are several walking paths along the coast on either side of the complex. Beautiful scenery with sounds of the breaking waves makes for a pleasant walk.
Everything contributed to a wonderful 5 days for me and my family.

Over the condo was a great place to stay - it is in a great spot for gorgeous ocean views. The pool is really nice and we used the BBQ almost every night. It's very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen in the apartment is nice and the bedrooms are spacious. I loved that there were buckets, spades, beach towels, etc. for us to use. A few things to note: there is no AC in the condo so the master bedroom gets pretty hot during the day. The condo wasn't all-over clean when we arrived - the floor was a bit on the dirty side so I had to do a lot of spot cleaning before letting our toddler run around. And the beaches, whilst walkable, are a bit further than we thought. It is more like a 20 minute walk to Poipu Beach and much of the road does not have a sidewalk which was tough for us with an infant and toddler. Other than that we had a great stay and would definitely recommend to other families.

We found this location to be an ideal spot. Close to Brenekes Beach where we boogie boarded every afternoon as well as Poipu for snorkling. You could hear the waves crash 100 yards away and we even had the pleasure of seeing a pod of dolphins right from the patio. There is an ocean view to the left and to the right. Located just outside the property was a nice walking path to a lookout which was a great spot for a cup of joe and watching the sun rise. Nice and spacious, and stocked with all your vacation needs.

We loved our stay at Makahuena 2203. The location was perfect, just a short walk from beaches appropriate for bodysurfing/bodyboarding, keiki beaches for our 4 and 6 year olds and a baby beach for our 1 year old. The condo had fresh orchids when we arrived and opened up to a beautiful ocean view. Whales and turtles regularly swam by the cliffs outside the property. The place is roomy and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with anything we needed. We used the beach toys and bodyboards and beach towels (mahalo!). Wifi was super easy too. We moved some stuff out of the way of the 1 yr old because he is starting to grab everything in reach, but overall very easy and would definitely come again. Thank you so much for sharing your home!

Our condo was very clean and complete, and convenient. Had wireless internet, printer, etc. Only problem was that we had to have the owner contacted to find out how to turn the ceiling fans on. You have to turn a switch on the actual ceiling fan above the blades. Other than that, was a very nice stay. Thanks!

Beautiful condo. Very nicely decorated. Kitchen gorgeous. Liked the tile floors and showers were awesome. Three nice size bedrooms with big closets, nice bedding. No a/c but nice breezes. Would advise to shut the bamboo shades on west side while out during the day to keep the hot sun out. Recommend walking the dirt path, access from east side of parking lot, to watch sunrise in morning. Breathtaking. Also saw lots of whales and dolphins from this point as well as from the balcony in the condo. Walked a little further to the north and saw lots of turtles down on the rocky shore. Walk to sand beach, other direction, is more like 10 to 15 min, not 3 as advertised. Did see seal sunning on beach here. Awesome experience, only wished we could have stayed longer.

Enjoyed our time at this property. Nice views, even seen some wales from the patio. Kitchen was equipped well. Beach gear is top quality. Property was also very clean. Would recommend this unit to others staying in this area.

Love the space. Only downside was that noise carried easily. No one was purposefully screaming or unusually loud - but we heard our neighbors and passers by quite clearly.

This is a great location, a busy condo complex, lots of people and noise, but walking distance from three of the best beaches on the south shore. Had trouble connecting with the Internet, trouble getting information from the management staff, ended up calling the carrier and solving it ourselves. Good price for a great location.

Most times I need to work while traveling. Poor internet access could limit my ability to rent in future which would be too bad as the rest of the experience was excellent.

This unit has a pretty decent view of the ocean and is in a quiet location. It easily accommodated our party of 6. Positives: * There are useful items like beach chairs and a large cooler that were pretty nifty for going out to the beach * The new tiles are pretty awesome (always a cool temperature to walk on, good grip) * Lots of ice in the freezer for helping to fill up the cooler Room for Improvement: * The bedding in the 2 non master bedrooms could definitely be improved. They felt old, rough, and a bit ratty * We had a rough time setting up the wireless internet and just ended up hard wiring in one of our laptops for any serious web browsing Be warned that if you have Verizon, you likely will NOT have any data service in this unit! All in all, nice place to stay for the price.

We stayed in the condo for a little over a week in October. The unit was beautiful and had room to spare for our group (4 adults, 1 child). The condo was in great shape. Nice new tile floors, beautiful bathrooms and a nice kitchen. The owners also left a few niceties (beach chairs, board games, extra fans) and the massive TV was pretty nice too. The internet was handy and worked fine. We also thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub and the walk to the beach (we usually drove with all of our stuff). Some other family stayed in nearby condos and while some were a little newer inside, they weren't quite as nice and certainly didn't have the amazing view that this unit did! The one downside is that we could occasionally hear people walking around upstairs. Not a big deal as we could use the extra fans to drown out the noise, and it really wasn't too loud to begin with. We'll definitely stay here again. Thanks!

We recently stayed at Makahuena 2-203 and we had a WONDERFUL time. The location of this unit was perfect! We had four teenagers with us and they could walk to THREE awesome beaches within minutes which gave me and my husband time to relax. The unit was very nice and clean. The staff left us fresh flowers which was really nice. The reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 for the general condition is that the drain in the main bath had clogged. It was a weekend so I really didn't feel the need to call someone since we had 2 bathrooms. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. I would recommend this unit to all.
