Makahuena 1-303 Ocean View condo 2 Bedroom Plus Loft Sleeps 8 AC!

We did not get original unit due to water leaks. Crew said alternative condo was substandard. Disappointing.

No AC in the unit. Be ready. The rest is great! We were surprised by all items provided for our use: everything in the kitchen, laundry, even beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, games, toys for kids, etc.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo itself is old and it was pretty dirty. Also it rained a lot and the walls were leaking. Water was coming through the door jam and other parts of the master bedroom. Has to have towels and buckets on the floor for two days. As it constantly dripped. Called and management sent someone out later that day and they tried to fix it. Spent several hours waiting around for them to come and then a couple hours while they tried to fix that and the tv. Management was good to work with so we appreciated that. Just wouldn’t stay here again because it was old and really dirty. Food crumbs, dust, old crusty sock showers had hair in them, etc.

Great condo with AC, community hot tub and a very responsive host.

The location is great! We thought the pictures didn't do the view justice. You can walk to several beaches from here. It is an older property, so there is some wear and tear and doesn't have the amenities newer resort properties. Also, fyi that the upstairs bedroom can be a bit hot to start the night out but it was perfect for our family. We appreciated the welcome package with coffee and that it had beach chairs, towels and sand toys available for use. Loved it and would definitely consider staying again.

Amazing location and beautiful views. Easily accessible to all areas.

I rate it a 6.5 out of 10. Great things- provided nice beach towels, beach chairs, mats, water shoes, provided cooler. Appreciated the ziplock sandwich and storage bags. Bad: mold on shower curtains and showers, downstairs bathroom had mildew smells, washer had mildew so we had to buy cleaner, carpet upstairs had black stains, kitchen stovetop lights and fan were glitching - flashing on and off, stovetop dials did not have temperature info as it was worn out - making it hard to know what was high or low, sink turned on on its own constantly, no dish rags provided, windows/patio doors need to be cleaned, remote for the fans in bedrooms were not working and hard to understand, tv in first bedroom did not appear to work, living room tv remote was missing battery cover, lanai patio doors do not lock/ fully close. POSITIVES:* All of the many things included for supplies in all rooms, beach supplies, laundry supplies, kitchen, bedding, etc* Location was awesome! Seeing ocean from Lanai. * Having 1 guaranteed spot to park was nice* Keyless lock/entry was a perk* Pool & hot tub area was clean & welcoming. No issues* Walking distance to both sunrise AND a sunset - awesome!* The condo was spacious & comfortableOTHER:* Obvious mold in showers* Bad mold/mildew smell in laundry washing machine* Lights & ceiling fans in each room do not work regularly or consistently. They all turned off or on without us doing anything. So we had no choice but to leave them off.

Great location

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful lanai view! Fully stocked kitchen. Very clean rental. Great lcoation! Within walking distance to Poipu Beach and Shipwrecks Beach. Great amenities in the complex.

This was perfect for our party of 8. Two bedrooms, one had a king bed and the other had a queen, and a loft with a full bed and a day bed with a trundle. Note: this condo is on a second story with no elevator. The 2 bedrooms are up another flight of stairs, and the loft is up a 3rd set of stairs; so you get your exercise. There are two full bathrooms and a half bath with a washer and dryer. The fully stocked kitchen is nice to prepare food and relax in the living/ dining area.They even have beach towels (8) and beach chairs (I think 7 or 8) and sand toys and some snorkel sets (but only 1 pair of flippers). There was only one boogie board and it was about to fall apart.The condo is next to the ocean, but has lava rock and is too dangerous to swim. It's a few minute drive to Poipu beach where you can swim and snorkel, and if you go in the evenings you can usually see sea turtles!This is on the south side of Kauai, so if you want to do things on the north side you have to drive about an hour or more, depending on where you're going. We had a very fun stay and would highly recommend this unit. Thank you!

The code didnt work when we arrive but they helped us. All good!

Lovely Appartments Perfect location in a spot where you can meet the sunrise and see the sunset from same cliff ;)

Just got back from a week at the Makahuena 1-303. Pros:* Good location, 15min walk to Poipu Beach. It's an uphill walk back. We just drove everyday. Restaurants, stores, within 10 min drive* Property grounds are we taken care ofCons: * The unit is much older than what's in the pictures. Different furniture, etc.* Completely broken beach umbrella. Shannon told me to go get one from Costco rather trying to help. I had to spend 1 1/2 hours to go back to Walmart by the airport to buy one. No reimbursement. * One of the toilets was leaking and kept running 24-7* Kitchen faucet is leaking and gets all over the counter. It also turns on by itself as it's loose.* The dryer kept shutting off after 15 min with a Check Dryer Vent light. Annoying when you have wet clothes. * WiFi router upstairs kept failing (red light)* After my brief conversation about the umbrella, I didn't even bother to report the other issues as I did not want to spend my vacation time waiting for service and repairs, we just dealt with it. Would I stay here again? Yes if I was better informed and needed accommodations for 5 people. No if it was just my wife and daughter.Recommendation for management: * Accurately represent your property* Help rather then provide answers with no resolution, where's the Aloha spirit? Hope this honest review helps someone out! Cheers!

This place was fantastic! 3 levels, 2 3/4 bathroom. Easy access to anywhere near the south side of the island. Very clean. Internet worked well. Easy access to Shipwreck Beach for the best sunrise on the island.Reminder***bring your own shopping bags for groceries otherwise you’ll have to buy them at the grocery store.

The first night we got there were issues with the AC in one room and I guess a random termite swarm. The owner sent the cleaners the next morning and the AC guy to fix it. There was mold in the shower and giant layer of dust in the fan. We are glad they were able to address these issues. The rest of the stay went great. The condo is just like it looks in the pictures and the view from the balcony is great. (Side note: there isn't an elevator which I think is pretty common here but we didn't realize this and it was hard to carry our bags up and down but wasn't a issue other than the first and last day)

The stay was good.The only thing that needs attention is the shower curtains they were moldy and some improvement in cleaning under the couch and beds .Otherwise it was a good place to stay.

It was a good space! Worked great for us.

This condo was great for our family plus grandma. Having two bedrooms plus the loft gave us space to spread out and the large dining table was good for meals and playing games. We used the cooler every day on our car trips around the island.

It was amazing... everything was perfect... we loved having a kitchen, a place to park, and a laundry machine. We would come back again!

Walkable to the beach, steps to the sunset. Had a great time

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: rental had everything we needed for our family of 6 including stuff for us to snorkel and enjoy the beach. The sunsets from the place were amazing!! Our family enjoyed it and the kids took many photo shoots! We all had our own space, kitchen was great to cook in and I enjoyed sitting outside each morning looking at the ocean view. They even left us a thoughtful welcome gift! We enjoyed our time and it was close to everything we needed. The “sand” beaches were a very quick drive!

Great stay. Easy walk to the beach, plenty of room for our family of 5 (teen and adults). Great communication by property management and very reasonably priced. Also close to pool and hot tub. Definitely recommend!

Great location. Nice pool and hot tub. I would stay here again. I love that there was beach chairs and snorkeling stuff in the condo for us to use. Thanks for the great time.

My friends and I had a great time here! The views were amazing and the location is prime for a great vacation!

This apartment was fantastic- met all our needs and then some for our Kauai vacation. As soon as you open the door you can hear the ocean crashing and we spent several sunrises and sunsets visiting the waves just a few steps away.The apartment itself had everything we needed. It was comfortable, well appointed, and blissfully air conditioned. We were so pleased with everything about our stay. Just as advertised!

Overall everything was great. The condo was a little more dated than what it looked like in the pictures and there was a bit of clutter in the closets and under the bathroom sinks.

Property met our needs and AC a great amenity! Condo was comfortable but could use an update in decor to make it more pleasant for a vacation stay. Could use a better more thorough cleaning between guests. Location on the island is great.

Our stay was lovely. The location was so close to PoiPu and the point next door offered a stunning area to watch whales and the sunrise/sunsets. The unit was great for our party of four adults and four kids. The AC worked well. The unit was fairly well stocked. The WiFi was good for some work. Could use some TLC for some cosmetic updates, but even then I would highly recommend this location. Communication with the property managers was smooth, prompt and efficient.

We (3 adults, 4 kids age 3-8) stayed for 7 daysPros: Really effective AC and fans, kitchen with the basics, comfy beds, a ton of towels, beach toys, etc. Property manager was responsive. The exterior was well maintained had wonderful views for the sunset Check out procedure was so simple that I felt like I was missing something.Without small kids, I wouldn't have had any major issues, but as a parent I would've liked to know the following:The condo was a long way from the parking lot, down a ramp and up two flights of stairs. Getting 4 kids to/from the car with groceries and stuff was a huge hassle. There weren't very many kid friendly (unbreakable) dishes, and not enough bowls in general). Most of the tables seemed to require coasters, and the sinks were too tall for most of the kids to use without help. Pocket doors with slats for bathrooms made privacy difficult. Minor cons: knives were dull, one of the bedroom TVs was missing its cable remote and streaming services didn't seem to work on it, the numbers on the stove were faded beyond legibility, and the range hood buttons seemed barely to work. None of these were particularly inconvenient, but still. No on site recycling besides redeemable cans and bottles and corrugated cardboard. Maybe that's common here? We had to load the rest of the recycling into our car and drive it down the road. Overall a comfortable place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a clean, rustic condo, with a view of the ocean. Separate bedrooms for everyone. Nice pool and hot tub. The hosts were attentive and welcoming. Walking distance to town and an oceanfront park for snorkeling, turtle watching, shops and restaurants. I would stay here again.

This condo was so well equipped. Enjoyed the clean pool, hot tub, and barbeque area..Well maintained property..A good choice for families. Easily fits 5 kids,and 2 adults.

The place is very cozy and comfortable for two families to stay together and bond. We had different age groups and all were entertained

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family of 5, with three teenage boys, were very comfortable and very happy with this place! The beds were very comfortable (though not the day bed in loft area). We were in a mini heat wave in October and the air conditioning worked great. Had a personal issue after checkout and the contact person was very patient and responsive.

We absolutely adore the location and the convenience of getting around the island. The unit features air conditioning and a fully equipped kitchen, making it feel almost like being at home, yet in a paradise setting.

Very clean and beautiful location. Perfect for families.

Great location and great for large families. Nice view.

What a wonderful find.
