This is a spacious (1300 square feet) ground level, three bedroom, two bathroom, ocean view condominium, in the very popular, upscale Makahuena Resort located in the center of Poipu. It's size and internal layout provides spacious comfort for as many as 8 but works perfectly well and is priced for smaller groups. You might want to invite your family or friends to share the cost as they will be comfortable too. Check our monthly rates as we encourage longer stays.

View our guest comments to see why our condo is so popular.

The resort complex sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean providing an unforgettable view and experience. You can view both sunrise and sunset from the site 'Point' a few steps from our lanai where the sound of the ocean and it's spray is breathtaking.


The Makahuena is in the center of the Poipu golf world including being walking distance from Poipu Bay, former site of the Grand Slam of golf. The Makahuena contains it's own tennis and pickleball facility (a rare commodity in Poipu condo complexes) bringing those sports steps from our unit. Top rated sandy beaches that provide sunbathing and surfing are less than a ten minute walk to the east (Shipwreck Beach) and to the west (Brennecke's Beach). Brennecke's beach has a breakwater that provides protected beaches for toddlers and calm waters for snorkelers.

IMPORTANT ITEM
If you are traveling with children or people that enjoy the pool or spa, ground floor units such as ours have a huge benefit in the ease of access to these popular items. From our unit, you are step free seconds away from the pool gate to enjoy or check your kids swimming. The Makahuena is made up largely of three story buildings with no elevators, and pool access from upper units requires many steps to the opposite side of the pool then walking around the buildings. A somewhat time consuming and strenuous task.

FLOOR PLAN

The floor plan is all contained on one level eliminating the need to climb stairs to bedrooms or second bathrooms. Our seniors especially appreciate this convenience but everyone loves it. Additionally, the ground level location allows step free access to the impeccably maintained grounds, pool, spa, barbecue, view point, and other entertainment areas.
The kitchen was completed renovated in November 2014; new granite counter tops, Solid Mahogany door and drawer fronts provide a stunning look. Elegant Tile Flooring was installed in all three bedrooms adding a very upscale look and providing a cooler (temperature) unit.

A brand new Mitsubishi top of the line air conditioning system was installed in June 2022 which provides greatly increased comfort in every room even when the trade winds slow .

Sleeping Accommodation

There are 3 bedrooms: The Master Suite, a smaller Suite and a 3rd bedroom.

The master suite is a large bedroom containing a brand new Simmons Beautyrest king bed (10/23). It has it's own bathroom which contains two large counters (his and hers) instead of the usual one. This bedroom opens directly to the lanai providing it's own ocean view and instant access to the beautiful grounds and all it's features.

The second large bedroom also has a King Bed and both of these bedrooms have their own televisions.

The third bedroom is smaller, but large enough to contain a brand new Beautiful Bunk Bed and an adjacent Queen Bed. If this bedroom is not needed it makes an excellent location to store luggage and golf clubs.

Additionally the living room contains a brand new (10/23) top of the line Lazy Boy Queen Sleeper for added sleeping capacity.

Summary of Sleeping arrangements:

Bedroom 1.

Primary Master Suite, King bed, with own Full Bathroom with his and her's sinks. Direct Access to Lanai, Pool , Spa and Grounds.
High Definition TV

Bedroom 2.
Junior Suite with King Bed. Full bathroom in adjacent room.

In addition to streaming, A major Cable Company is included.

We are very High Tech

A new 65 Samsung HD really Smart TV was added in the living room in May 2019. All the major streaming services are available so don't forget your passwords. Incredibly vivid picture.

The Poipu Beach Area

Poipu Beach is Kauai's most desirable area and was recently rated the #1 beach in all of America. You will love your stay at the Makahuena and in particular in this condominium. The unit is easily large enough for two (even 3) couples to share with adequate privacy. There are three HD televisions.

    The location is fantastic! You can walk into the Poipu Beach area and to Shipwreck beach. We enjoyed watching both the sunrise and sunset from the point at the property. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds and linens were all comfortable. There are also several beach chairs, a couple boogie boards and snorkel masks.

    The host was very welcoming but only AFTER booking and paying did I receive notice that there was construction going on right outside the lanai. We were told it would not impact our stay but it did. I specifically booked this condo for my elderly parents due to the fact of it being ground floor and they could walk to the pool or to the ocean without having to use stairs. Upon arroval scaffolding was set up all across the lanai with caution tape so we could not step onto the grass. The scaffolding also significantly impacted the view. While I understand upkeep on buildings needs to be done we should have been informed of this beforehand or even offerred a discount if we wanted to book. The condo owner did not repond to my feedback. Due to all of this we ended up not extending our stay and instead moved elsewhere. Hosts and owners need to be transparent and tell of these things PRIOR to booking. We were very disappointed.

    We were told shortly before arrival that there might be some scaffolding and noise for a gutter project. When we arrived, the patios were completely blocked and useless. Our “oceanfront” and “huge lanai” were worthless. We reached out to the owner about a small refund since we didn’t get the experience we paid for and was advertised when we booked. The manager kept apologizing but the owner never got to us. I’ve never been so disappointed with the service and the experience and we have used VRBO many times. This location is great and the unit was fine, but we were just so disappointed.

    The pictures that are posted on their listing doesn't capture the absolute beauty of this property. We were on the first floor and still had such a beautiful pool. The 3 bedroom condo was so spacious. The furniture was super comfortable and didn't have that worn out look like some place do. My only complaint was the coffee table. It has a clear glass top which makes if tricky to get around if you're not paying attention. One corner is chipped pretty badly and my 89 year old mom cut her leg on it. We ended up setting items on the corners so we'd remember the glass top was there. Other than that it was AMAZING!! We'd happily rent again.

The pool was amazing—our kids loved spending time there. We also enjoyed cooking dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and relaxing out on the patio in the evenings. A perfect spot for a family getaway!

    A beautiful condo in an excellent location on the south side of the island. We had plenty room for our Ohana and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen and laundry. The property managers were responsive and their help was much appreciated especially during the tsunami warning. We would highly recommend this condo for your stay.

    Great location! You can walk to the point and watch the sunrise in the morning (my favorite part). The condo had beach gear available to use that is perfect for spending the days on at the beach and enjoying the sun and ocean. The condo is all one level which was helpful for our family. The air conditioning worked really well. For those that air conditioning is important, this condo will be perfect for you! The ocean view from the lanai was great. A perfect place to have your morning coffee. The close proximity tot he pool and hot tub was also very nice. The kitchen had items we needed to make many of our meals there at the condo. Overall a wonderful place to stay!

    Excellent location. Great condo - It was roomy for a group of 6 and had everything we needed. Appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. An unexpected bonus of this location was the soul soothing effect of listening to and watching the waves crash onto the rocks. We would definitely stay here again.

    We were very comfortable and enjoyed all the amenities. Really appreciate the pool toys. Beautiful view from the lanai .Not a fan of the glass tops on the tables, very sharp edges. One of the glass tops was chipped with scotch tape on it. My husband sustained a small cut from it. It would be nice to have plastic cups for the pool.

    nice place, smallish, but for the price, was very happy. Be aware, if you didn't notice, that the master bedroom is separated from living area by sliding white glass doors, so not as quiet as might be hoped. Great walking distance to Shipwreck and Poipu beaches! Would definitely stay again

    Our stay at Makahuena Resort was nothing short of perfection. The location exceeded our expectations with perfect viewing for sunrises, sunsets and even whale and sea turtle sightings! The kids loved playing in the pool daily and it was just a short 3 min drive to several beaches. Every single bed was very comfortable and clean. The property manager was always prompt to respond to emails and texts and was always available. We will definitely plan to return in the near future!

    We are a large family (2 parents, 4 kids aged 7-15 and a MIL), and we had a lovely stay over the halloween week. I was there for a conference at the nearby Grand Hyatt (easy beautiful walk), and the rooms accomodated us wonderfully. Nearby ameneties and shops as needed, and lots of local gems to be found. Easy access to the pool for the kids was great, and a short walk to watch the sunrise in the morning with a coffee in hand was magical. Extremely responsive staff, but the property was well prepared enough that I never needed to see them in person throughout the week. Check in was seamless. If I needed another place to stay in Kauai for a meeting in the future, or just in general, I will definitely keep an eye out for this property.

    We have stayed at Makahuena multiple times, first time in this listing. The location within the condo complex is great for small kids. Grassy area to run around, close walk to sunset/sunrise and close proximity to the pool. The management staff was easy to work with and fast at communication. We had a larger party and did not feel cramped within the condo. Makahuena itself is a nice complex to stay in, everyone is always nice and the pool/hot tub are never overcrowded. Plus you have good access to the walking trails, 10 minute walk to the beach or short drive. The only thing we found inconvenient was that there was no place to hang out towels/suits to dry outside. Other than that no complaints, we will be back again!
