Poipu Makai A2 By Parrish Kauai - oceanfront condo watch sunsets, turtles & dolp

Interior is a bit dated. Mattresses were old and the pillow topper was not sufficient. Old carpet and perpetual musty smell. Kitchen was difficult to use. Also— pool is terribly small— perfect size for hot tub.However, the view is AMAZING! Did not disappoint— turtles, whales, and dolphins!!!!

Fabulous location, great views, and a nice unit.

Unit was well-equipped. Kitchen had all appliances and supplies. There was a washer & dryer that was appreciated. Unit had some beach chairs, umbrella, and boogie board. Some of the beach chairs were broken and should be discarded (or replaced). But it was definitely great to have them to use. There is a great ocean view and we enjoyed seeing the turtles playing in the surf from the deck every day. Beach access at Poipu is about a10 min walk or you can drive in about 3 minutes. We rented a car and loved exploring the island. During our stay in May, seemed like the best weather, was in Poipu. Also, we enjoyed the selection of books and puzzles!

The location was lovely, condo was clean and larger than expected. A previous review stated they were concerned about safety/security, I believe they were referring to the slat windows (common in Hawaii). I found no issue with this, as most of the rentals I have stayed in on the islands have had this type of window. They close completely, lock and have screens. I felt very safe here and would absolutely stay again/recommend others to stay here.

The condo is amazing and the staff so helpful! The view is absolutely amazing, we saw hundreds of turtles from our balcony, even dolphins. The only thing I would love to see improve is the state of the second bedroom. The window (shutters/screens) need to be adjusted/change. Critters and people could probably get in and it didn't make us feel safe... Would still send friends there!

Overall this was a wonderful property for our family vacation. The location was perfect It sits on top of a small cliff right on the ocean. We were able to see turtles, dolphins, and many whale sightings from the lanai every morning while we ate breakfast. Master bedroom was large and comfortable. Second bedroom was small with two small beds, which worked fine for our two teenage children. Living room was comfortable for hanging out as a family during the evenings. This unit could use a few updates: The glass sliding door to the lanai was difficult to open and close without going off track, and the screen was not well fit so it was hard to keep the screen open at night without getting bugs inside. That being said, the maintenance people were very responsive when we reported anything and always made things better. The kitchen is fine, but probably not ideal if you plan to spend a lot of time cooking. The refrigerator is oversized for its space, making it difficult to get into certain cabinets and drawers. It was never a major concern for us because we didn't spend a lot of time cooking but it's worth knowing about if you are planning to prepare full meals. Overall we had a great time and the minor issues we encountered didn't take away from our experience staying in this unit while we were on Kuaui.

The view from this property was beautiful. The outdoor deck is feet from the ocean and rocky edge. We enjoyed seeing turtles and whales every day (keep in mind this was during December). The space and size of the condo was nice. We were two couples, so we had the 2 twin beds put together for a king size bed in the 2nd bedroom. The couch was comfy, the kitchen has most everything you need minus any spices for cooking), there were beach chairs, an umbrella and a cooler for use, along with beach towels. The bedrooms were decent sized with individual AC units. The mattresses could use some attention. The memory foam mattress toppers need to be replaced, especially the ones on the twin beds, as they have been cut smaller than the width of the mattress. The 2nd bathroom needs a new mirror and a side table for your things. The oven did not work. Property mgmt was notified and hopefully they get it working for the next visitor. Although pictures show a pool, it is not useable. It is dirty looking, small, and not in a great location. Pictures also show grass - it's just a small area. Overall, we did enjoyed our stay at this property.

Truly wonderful place to stay. Easy to find and enter. Extremely well stocked with EVERYTHING. Unbelievable views. Great location, convenient to everything. Quiet! If this is your first time to Kauai, don’t feel like you need to stay somewhere right on a beach. Almost no place is actually on a beach. This place is on a gorgeous set of volcanic rocks and beautiful blue ocean. Ni’i hau is visible off in the distance. We saw turtles and dolphins swimming by. This place is actually right at the start of the Makahuena Heritage Trail hike which will lead you to this incredible secluded beach. Don’t skip this hike, jts wonderful and a nice use of a day. There’s minimal stores in Poipu, so when you see one, load up on what you need for your trip. Oh, with this place. You will feel inclined to always turn right when leaving the driveway because it’s the way you came in. One day, leave on foot, and turn left and follow the road down. You’ll see this beautiful set of houses and adorable area and end up at Poipu beach where they have turtles and monk seals just resting on the beach. Beautiful.

We really loved the location, right on the water and close to everything we needed. Parking was easy and convenient. Wifi was easy and fast. There are a number of things that didn't work or need repair as previous guests have posted. Most everything is quite old and could use a refresh. Living room and Master bedroom had a nice breeze, 2nd bedroom could use A/C. Kitchen layout is a bit of a joke with a giant refrigerator that sticks out in the middle of the room and makes it so only one person can be in the kitchen at a time. While we really enjoyed ourselves here, for the price per night we expected more.

Great location in Poipu. Perfect location in condo building. Just six steps down from parking to front door of unit. Would like to suggest an update to livingroom and master BR curtains. Kitchen utensils and pans could stand replacing. TV has two black stripes and needs to be replaced. The topper on the master BR bed was too hot. Time to start over with a new mattress. On the positive side…best ocean view in Poipu. Sea turtles from your lanai. Great breezes from back to front of unit. Place definitely worth a look if you are wanting to stay in that area.
