Enjoy your morning coffee while sitting on the Lanai with a beautiful ocean view. You may see a pod of dolphins swim by, or whales breaching in the winter months. Watch the sunrise and sunset from the Makahuena point, just steps from our unit.

This beautiful 2 BR 2 BA, ocean view, second floor condo is 1150 SF, and has recently been updated in 2017 with new windows, new patio doors and new shower tiles after being totally remodeled in 2011. This unit has new tile floors throughout, and laminate wood floors in both bedrooms. The entire condo is furnished with brand new furniture.

A new gourmet kitchen with cherry cabinets, granite counters, and new appliances provide everything you need to comfortably prepare your meals. The Makahuena barbeque pavilion is right outside the condo. The living room is spacious, and includes a sleeper sofa, flat screen television with Blue Ray/DVD player. Some DVDs are provided. The large master bedroom has a beautiful king size bed with a brand new pillow top mattress. The attached bathroom has also been tastefully remodeled. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds, and gorgeous mahogany furniture. The entire unit has new wood window coverings that offer privacy.

For your use and enjoyment we have provided beach chairs, beach towels, boogie boards, a large ice chest, and games. 2 Pickle Ball paddles and 2 tennis racquets are also provided for your use at the Makahuena tennis/Pickle Ball court. The complex also has a pool with a hot tub with a wonderful ocean view.

The beautiful Makahuena complex is only a few minutes walk to the world renown Poipu Beach, Brennecke Beach, and the Grand Hyatt Hotel with its fine dining.

Enjoy your stay in the sunny south shore of Kauai!

Better than expected

Exceeded our expectations. It hard to tell from the photos, but the property is like 100 yards from the ocean! We were able to watch whales, dolphins, and sea turtles from the lookout areas. There is also a trail that starts right to the left of the property that joins with the heritage trail/shipwreck beach nearby. Multiple boogie boards, umbrellas and chairs provided. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds.

Spacious Condominium in Poipu

While this complex is older, the condominiums themselves appear to be kept in good condition. Our condo was spacious (2 full large bedrooms and bathrooms a very nice kitchen/dining/family room open area. Communication with property management company was excellent ... they responded quickly and in a helpful manner. One side of our toaster wasn't working right and we had a new toaster in the box at our doorstep the next morning. The grounds were very well kept and we could walk downstairs to a grassy knoll area in two minutes and watch a wide-open beautiful view of sunsets.

Kauai 2024

Overall was great. Was a little disappointed with trying to get replacements for things like laundry detergent, dryer sheets and a few others. Was told the few items in the condo were all that will be provided. Had to get them on my own when they ran out which also left me with a bunch of supplies I had to leave there. Kinda of stinky under the kitchen sink. Lastly I would have the tracks on the screen doors, bifold doors and blinds get some maintenance so they work better.

Very pleasant and accommodating host and their representative both for an early check-in and late checkout. Additionally a small issue we commanicated was immediately addressed. The apartment was super clean when we arrived. It was easy to figure out the lockbox to enter. We saw a well stocked kitchen from condiments to kitchenware and utensils. There's a newer spacious fridge, and washer dryer, all of which were very useful for our family of four. The apartment has a nice view to the beautiful ocean from the Lanai (balcony). Although there was no air conditioning as stated in the description, the cross airflow from the kitchen window, the bedrooms and if opened, the main door provided ample cooling to be comfortable. The night sky was beautiful to see from the Lanai and the grounds with clear view of the stars, and is ideal for astro photography buffs. If we were to come back again we would certainly choose this property and host again. Highly recommended.

Great Property

This is a great rental property. The unit is clean and well stocked with everything you need to be comfortable…..the place just feels like home. The location can’t be beat and it is an easy drive to get anywhere on the island. The view is spectacular, we especially love seeing the whales and viewing the sunset is popular with many people staying at this property. The pool and hot tub are a nice option and fabulous beaches are within walking distance. Turtles and Monk Seals are often on the beaches. Even though there are good restaurants nearby the condo is still in a quiet neighborhood. Beat of both worlds! Can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful condo

My family of 6 (4 teens) stayed here from Jan2-9. Condo was a little tight for 6 adult sized people, but we're in Hawaii, we made it work. We ended up borrowing an air mattress from a friend and had that in the second bedroom, so only one person slept on the pull-out bed. Condo was great. We love this location in Kauai. We loved being able to watch the sun rise and set over the ocean each day. I loved sitting on the balcony each morning while I ate breakfast. One morning the whales were really putting on a show that i could just sit and enjoy watching. We loved being able to walk to the Grand Hyatt for coffee. We loved being able to walk to get a Puka dog. We loved that the turtles and monk seal beaches could be walked to, along with a snorkel beach and a boogie board beach. We loved walking and looking in the tide pools. We used the cooler a few times and enjoyed the boogie boards and chairs that came with the condo. I never cooked a dinner in the condo but the kitchen seemed well stocked. Plenty of pillows and towels. Having beach towels there was great. I would recommend this condo to anyone and would come back in a heartbeat.

About the host

Hosted by Rodney Bughao

Host profile image
Karen and I have been married over 35 years. We have three children, 5 grandchildren and enjoy traveling whenever we can.

Why they chose this property

Kauai has always held a special place in our hearts. Having lived in Koloa in the early 1970's, Poipu Beach is like home. Kauai holds very special memories for Karen and me. Our honeymoon was on Kauai where we enjoyed hiking in the Waimea Canyon. Many of my cousins still call Kauai home. "The sounds of the ocean soothes our restless souls!"

What makes this property unique

Makahuena offers beautiful ocean and garden views. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the point. Even Oahu is visible on a clear day just before sunrise! We especially enjoy the peaceful mornings on the lanai. Our location takes full advantage of the cooling tradewinds and the calming sounds of the waves crashing on the point.
