Very nice condo with all necessary items for a wonderful experience on the beach or just hanging out. Very nice pool, quiet neighborhood, walking distance to beaches, food, golf, and much more. Decor is a little outdated, but great if you’re from the eighties!

Loved the location and being right next to the pool. Fully stocked with beach stuff. Only issue was the vacuum didn’t work. Needs to be replaced.

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was spacious, clean, well maintained and well equipped. We prepared all of our breakfasts and a few lunches and dinners in house. We were very pleased with the cooking facilities and the cooking supplies provided. We enjoyed the large TV in the family room and the large selection of channels. Also the internet worked very well. We had an issue with a hose connected to the air conditioner and the property manager, Shellah was very responsive. Also Shellah was very friendly and provided some great suggestions on places to eat and things to do while in Kauai. I highly recommend this property and would love to stay there again.

Very well equipped and stocked, clean, nicely laid out rental. Good views from the lanai. Especially enjoyed being able to see the mountains and green changing landscapes. Great paved winding walkways to Shipwreck Beach and Brennecker’s Beach. Great for morning strolls or sunset walks. The kitchen is a little dated but very functional. We had a great stay and loved the location of this place.

My wife and I found this to be a great place to spend four nights in the southeast corner of Kauai. We were able to get to the condo from the Lihue airport easily, make trips to Waimea Canyon (West), Wailua (East), and even up to Haena State Park (North). In the morning and evening it was a short walk from the condo to Poipu Beach (sea turtles & monk seals) and the Mahaulepu Heritage trail. The condo was spacious, clean and appeared to include every needed kitchen utensil. The beds were comfortable. The view from the balcony and the main bedroom were spectacular.

We had a great holiday at Kauai Makanui. The place was comfortable for our family of 5 ( 3 teenagers) and it was well equipped. The location is great - we easily walked to Ship Wreck beach and groceries/shopping is a quick 2-5minute drive. The only "surprise" I had was that the unit didn't have air-conditioning. I did read other people's reviews about the "trade winds" being nice, and while they blew - the unit was well ventilated, when it didn't, it did get warm. I haven't rented in Kauai and perhaps A/C isn't standard in accommodations, where I assumed it was. It was a nice unit and I loved my morning coffee on the balcony, watching the sunrise.

We loved our stay here! It was immaculate and had everything we needed. The location was so beautiful and we loved sitting on the lanai to have coffee/breakfast and enjoy the views.

Highly recommend and we hope to visit again some day!

Nicely appointed condo with full kitchen, which was wonderful for preparing our own meals with local fish and shrimp.

I'm so sorry.I thought I had already given my review. It was wonderful! My entire family raved about it. The view was incredible! The way its positioned, the sun rises and sets in front of you. the full moon over the ocean. We all got up at 630 every morning for our coffee and sunrises. The Tradewinds were amazing. we kept the windows open all night, just to hear the waves. The amenities were perfect. The one and only thing that we wish would have been different. was the pool key was missing Apparently, the previous renters lost it. We only had a few days that we could have enjoyed it... oh well. So much to do... the beach chairs and cooler were quite handy! Thank you for your hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful setting.

Our family was fortunate to be able to stay at the property for all of July and August of 2022. The condo was well appointed and had most everything one would need for a short or even longer term stay. We appreciated the beach gear that was available (number of quality beach chairs, umbrellas and a couple of snorkel sets among other items) and we were happy to continue paying it forward with some extra kid-gear. The condo was nice and comfortable (best when there is a good breeze moving through the unit), and the AC in the upstairs bedroom did work quite well when needed. The management staff was attentive and quickly responded the few times that we reached out for support.
We loved the location, having the pool right outside the unit was great (and also really appreciated the fact that the Makanui properties have their own dedicated pool which was very quiet). Poipu beach was a short walk down the greenway, as was the Hyatt and Shipwreck beach in the other direction. Overall we had a terrific stay and would recommend the unit to anyone looking for a great Poipu vacation.

The rental itself is nice, clean and the area is quiet. The hills and stairs are a lot for anyone with mobility issues. Communication with the property managers was confusing at times. We arrived on the island at 11:30 and requested an early check in; drove by and the cleaning staff was out on the Lanai at 12:30. We thought we would get a call to be able to go in early. No call.

Pros: Beautiful and very roomy for 6 adults!! Huge bathrooms and everything was so clean and beautiful. Great views and amazing tradewinds kept the place so cool and the lanai was perfect since it is located way up on the top of the hill and on the third level. You can see Shipwreck beach from the bedroom. Straight shot across the road to get to Lihue. Great place!!!
Cons: it's not really close enough to the beaches to walk with surf boards and all your gear and the hose to wash off the sand is around the back of property, inconvenient if you have a lot of stuff to rinse. The ice maker was broken and we had to spend one night of our eating out budgeted money to buy an ice chest and two bags of ice everyday for our group😢

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on this property and would come back in a heartbeat. It was clean, spacious, and the location is great--it's about a 15-minute walk/5-minute drive to the beach. The unit is also right next to the pool, which was great for us and our kids. It wasn't a very busy pool, so we didn't hear any noise in the condo.
This is a perfect unit for a family and the twin beds were appreciated by my children who don't enjoy sharing a bed.
My only small piece of feedback is that beach towels would have been appreciated.
Overall, it was a fantastic stay!

Nine days of great snorkeling turtle and monk seal viewing at Poipu Beach and surfing at Hanalei Bay. This property provided ample space for four adults and two kids. We did have two roll aways for the kids as the pullout couch was not comfortable. The property managers were excellent in answering all our questions quickly and addressing our needs. The only drawback is that this unit is located on a corner and vegetation does not hide the traffic on one side.

Loved the location and beach path which meant many days a car was not needed (though was also helpful to have the easy parking).
Great view from the lanai of the mountains.
Generally very well equipped. The kitchen had every tool/dish/pot we might want and had some spices to start with, which was good as we cooked several meals. Loved the fact that bath and kitchen soaps, toiletries, paper towels etc. were also well stocked. Many basic sand toys for our daughter. They also provided a small crib.
Some minor things outdated and in need of refurbishment but didn't diminish our stay.
The weather was very tricky alternating from very windy to still and hot. Because heat and cooling in the condo is based purely on breezes and ventilation this made keeping the right temperature difficult a couple days, especially in the upstairs where there really is no cross breeze and it was very hot. Note we couldn't use one of the two windows which had some damage which made it worse.
Pools on the property are hit or miss, the one in Makanui unspectacular and we didn't use. We did love the access to the fitness center across the street which had an awesome pool with a mini beach for kids we used on a couple of the colder, windier days.
Suite Paradise very responsive ahead of time which was appreciated, though a couple minor things there were inconsistencies between people we talked to. Check in very easy.
Overall we would definitely go back to Poipu Kai.

It was close to walking paths and central to drive around and explore the island. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We loved being able to use the pool with our granddaughter. The only reason we give 4 stars for location is that it is a bit of a walk to get to the beach with a young child - which can be challenging carrying all the beach gear too! It is a lovely, well maintained, quiet property with a nice view of the garden and mountains. Thanks for the hospitality!

I wasn’t sure what to expect because we got the property for a last minute trip. The home is lovely. It’s an older home but very well maintained and very clean. The views of both the ocean and the mountains are amazing. One minor thing is that the wicker living room furniture is ver broke down. My parents stopped by to visit and were unable to get back up without help because there’s no support in the bottom any more. It was even hard for me and I’m in good shape. The sofas also looked dirty at first. Not sure if that was just the color or not. But other than that the place is immaculate and they have provided everything you need for a wonderful stay.

This townhouse is on the 2nd and 3rd floors of a 4 unit building on a rise overlooking ocean so it has great views. Access to the front door requires climbing about 20 steps and 100 feet of walkway, mostly inclined. Definitely not for the mobility impaired. Hauling in heavy/bulky luggage is a challenge. It is approximately 3 blocks from access to Shipwrecks beach. It’s new on the market with both hit and miss features. The advertised “pool” is so far away that we were advised to drive to it. The furnishings are a mix of new and old/tired. The second-hand living room set was grimy with broken down cushions and still had sale lot numbers stuck on. Bedrooms have no luggage racks or chairs. The bedding consisted of sheets and one coverlet per bed. No spares. There’s an abundance of beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella and a big new washer/dryer set. House cleaning is spotty. We aren’t clean freaks and the place felt clean on arrival. but as we walked around: the mirror wall was smudged, wet clothes in the washer, the lanai screen door ripped out on the bottom and side so insects, and on the second day, a sparrow, got 1into the living room. A couple big roaches died on the living room carpet. Previous guest’s paperwork, map of another resort and towel cards for a different resort were in the welcome book. Seems like this place is run by a corporate entity, with no manager to actually look the place over to design it for regular comfort. The phone contact for the organization was responsive; perhaps with more reviews the amenities will improve. Currently I do not recommend unless you have a big party of able bodied folks. The ”upscale” price isn’t justified by the accommodations.

We chose this condo for the views which did not disappoint: 180 degrees of mountain and ocean. It’s a quick walk across the parking lot to Shipwreck beach or a longer walk to Poipu beach (~20 min) on the other side of the point. There are only 4 units in the building, making for a quiet stay - we rarely heard our neighbors. The unit itself was very clean with newer carpet and a smart tv. My only criticism, and the reason I’m not leaving 5 stars is that the beds were not very comfortable; the mattresses were a little squishy and the sheets felt cheap. Also, the kitchen equipment was spartan, though adequate. Notwithstanding these minor issues we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would choose this unit again. Leimomi in the property management office was a pleasure to deal with. She responded quickly to questions and informed us of local events during our stay.

However, because access to the front door requires climbing about 20 steps in addition to almost 100 feet of walkway, most of it inclined, it is definitely not for the mobility impaired. Hauling in heavy/bulky luggage is a challenge as well. It is approximately 3 blocks from access to Shipwrecks beach (cutting through The Point complex).
It is newly on the short-term market and has both hit and miss features. The advertised “pool” is so far away that we were advised to drive to it. Most rooms are good sized with good light and air, but most have bare white walls. The furnishings are a mix of new and old/tired. The second-hand living room set was grimy with broken down cushions and still had sale lot numbers stuck on. Bedrooms have no luggage racks or chairs. The bedding consisted of sheets and one coverlet per bed. No spares. There’s an abundance of beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella and a big new washer/dryer set.
The house cleaning is spotty. We aren’t clean freaks and the place felt clean on arrival. Issues arose as we walked around: the big mirror wall was super smudged, wet clothes left in the washer, the lanai screen door ripped out on the bottom and side so insects, and on the second day, a sparrow, got into the living room. A couple big roaches died on the living room carpet. Previous guest’s paperwork (with confidential info), a map of the resort across the street and pool towel cards for an entirely different resort were with the welcome book. It seems like this place is run by a corporate entity, with no manager to actually look the place over to design it for the comfort of regular people. The phone contact for the organization was responsive; perhaps with more reviews the amenities will improve. Currently I do not recommend unless you have a big party of able bodied folks. The ”upscale” price isn’t justified by the accommodations.

Great property for a family reunion with a delightful outdoor dining space and a very, fully furnished kitchen. If you like books, there is plenty for all ages and genres, from Babar to Tom Clancy.

The property was perfect for our needs. The pictures of the kitchen made it seem bigger, but no problem, perhaps you could sharpen the knives, they are extremely dull . Not good for cutting the delicious pineapples. Loved watching the sunrise from the balcony!

better than expected, did not realize unit was a single family, quiet, great ventilation since no air, very well stocked, would rent again. disappointed in the snorkeling but not the property.

If I had questions the responses were quick and helpful. Hopefully we'll be able to come back to this awesome island some day...for sure rent this property again.

We really loved the beautifully decorated house. Especially the lanai in the shade was great - we ate every breakfast al fresco and had the impression to sit in a tropical botanical garden, surrounded by flowers. To get to the Poipu beach we recommend to have a car. It is walking distance but we always bring lots of gear for the kids. The pool is also a few minutes away but very nice and clean. We enjoyed the comfortable beds and the nice bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and perfect for cooking. The only thing that we missed was an umbrella and a cooler. We bought both and left it in the apartment ;-)

We had a wonderful stay at this property, a bit older but very clean and had everything we needed. Loved that there were beach chairs available for us to use.

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Makanui 612. The condo was the perfect size for our family of four and had all the necessary amenities. Its proximity to shops, restaurants, beaches and other hot spots on the island was ideal. Being from Arizona we struggled a bit without A/C, but the ceiling fans and the breezes definitely helped. A small cooler would have been handy if it were available. We would definitely stay in this property again.

Had a great time in Poipu! The condo was very spacious and clean. The kitchen was nice and roomy allowing us to make meals and save money. Right by the pool which was a big plus for our teenage daughter. Great value for the location. Close to all the shops, restaurants and beaches. Loved hearing the birds in the morning. Would definitely stay here again.

This condo is large, wonderful space for our family of 4 and so great to be able to walk to Poipu beach. It is an older condo unit and could use a little freshening up but everything you need is there. We did have a plumbing issue, cold water knob on the master bath shower didn't work upon our arrival but the management company, Suite Paradise had if fixed the same day and we never had another issue with it.

Well stocked kitchen, but no spices or oils (due to regulations, etc.?). Otherwise, great place to call “home”!!

We really enjoyed Suite Paradise. Check in and check out process was easy, the information provided was helpful, and staff was very pleasant and good at communicating. We had one issue with the power when we checked in, and they did call and let us know (it was an area-wide issue, not an issue with the unit).
Overall, the unit had a great layout that we loved. Location was fantastic, with many attractions within easy walking distance, the pool very close, and two BBQ grills right there for easy use. The unit itself could probably use a little updating, and would have benefited from things like tupperware to store food, and plastic wrap or ziploc bags. But furniture had a nice traditional Hawaiian style.
Overall, we loved our trip and especially enjoyed Suite Paradise and its services. Thanks!

I could tell this was an old unit and for the price I paid, I was very disappointed. For starters there was no dish washing soap, the "lanai" is so old that a plant was growing from the hole and the other hole was full of something yellow. The railing was also unsafe because couple of them was loose (rotten). Than we went to our car and my grandsons were looking over the railing in the parking lot and a whole piece of the railing fell to the bottom again rotten and the pipes all rusted. The propane tanks weren't check we only had enough to grill a couple of steaks. I'm born and raised here (north shore), and this year I thought staying on the south shore instead of the north shore would be fun it was but our unit was a "Drab". Paying that much money was too much for that unit, it needs a "facelift". Thank you for your time.

Outdated accommodations for champagne prices. No A/C which is expected. Window blinds in poor condition which knock constantly with open windows. No problem unless you want to sleep. Cable box upgraded but nonfunctional. Location is great. Lots of other choices in this area

Pros: Clean and spacious condo with two huge bathrooms. Easy walk to the beach along a well-maintained walkway. Comfortable beds. Beach towels and beach gear. Very nice pool right outside the door that was seldom used by anyone but us.
Cons: Wifi is so slow that I finally gave up trying to work on my laptop. Extremely frustrating.

Road traffic heavy. Woke up early by construction trucks.

My husband loved the breeze from the trade winds and there are ceiling fans in all the rooms if the breeze dies down! It is so handy to have W/D right in the unit and a fabulous kitchen! My only complaint was no condiments or spices, but we left some. Our family of 5 had plenty of relaxing space and this is definitely a place we would book again!

Nice comfortable unit. Kitchen had everything we needed. Plenty of room for everyone. Beautiful mountain view from both the front room and the large deck. Definitely coming back to this unit when we return.
