Had a great stay in Poipu. The condo unit was very nice and spacious with a well stocked kitchen and beach amenities. The location was amazing, very close to the main roadways and walking distance to walking trails and beaches (15 minutes).
The owners were very communicative prior to the visit, and were quick to answer questions. Overall had a great stay, would absolutely consider staying again.

We go to Poipu and stay in Poipu Kai Resort about every other year - overall was a great place in a great location with excellent communication by the hosts. My only comments are that the sofa bed needs to be updated (rolls into the middle) and the sliding glass door needs to be adjusted as it's very hard to open and close. Otherwise its great and I would certainly stay here again!

I choose this property because I am disabled. This place worked well for me. I used a portable power wheelchair outdoors and a walker inside. There are no grab bars in the shower but it is big so I was able to bring my walker inside the shower for stability. Also no grab bar near the toilet but using the wall and my walker I managed. It wouldn't work if you are completely wheelchair-bound as there is no room beside the toilet. This is an older unit (like most in Poipu) but location and condition are exactly as advertised. Well equipped and quiet.

Nice stay at the condo. My one quibble is the association pool needs some resurfacing work

Very nice accommodations. Great neighborhood & within walking distance of the beach at the Grand Hyatt.
The pool was very relaxing…we basically had it all to ourselves.
I would recommend this property for those looking to stay in Poipu. It had all the conveniences of home.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo in the Poipu Kai Resort. Our spacious and comfortable home away from home was conveniently located near a number of beautiful beaches (within walking distance) and the Grand Hyatt resort. Each evening we enjoyed strolling down to Poipu Beach to join the crowds gathered to watch the sunset. Our hosts, Darrell and Ida, were helpful and welcoming, making the check-in process a breeze. They also provided a comprehensive notebook including great suggestions for restaurants and activities on the island. My family and I made many happy memories during our stay.

Great Location. Easy access to beaches, pools and restaurants. Loved that all the extras you might need for a beach/pool day were available to use in apartment. And a bonus for me, this was the first VRBO that had enough hangers in the closet for me😜. We also loved that the pool the was a few feet from the apartment, rarely had people in it, so was almost like our own private pool!

This is the perfect condo for a family. It has 3 or more beaches and two pools within an easy walking distance with kids. Very clean and quiet condo complex.

We had a wonderful time staying in this rental. It was beautiful, comfortable and spacious. It had everything we needed for a family vacation at the beach. The pools were great and it was nice to be able to walk down to the beach in the evening and see the sea turtles.
Cheryl O.
July 2023
We enjoyed running to the beach every morning from this unit! And each time, we were greeted by sea turtles resting on the sand. Love how close it was to Poipu Beach. Hall closet was furnished with boogie boards, extra towels, mostly all things beach related, and even things you probably didn’t have with you like extra water shoes and bug spray. Convenient to have a washer & dryer in the unit too.

Darrell is very efficient and makes the check in and out process hassle free. Condo provides all necessities needed for your stay. Location is great! 5 min walk to beach, no need to hassle with trying to find a parking spot. Thank-you for sharing this gem with us. Best value in Kauai!!

We stayed here over Christmas and it was amazing. The condo had everything we needed. The beach closet was a nice extra that we utilized daily. We rented a car and were centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Poipu beach was our favorite and we went back to it everyday. The sunsets are superior. Being able to walk to the beach was also a nice treat. We will absolutely book this condo again when we return. Aloha!

This was absolutely a 5 star accommodation. Most important 5 star is the host. Darrell’s pride of ownership shines through in every aspect. The condo was clean and maintained. Darrell’s response time is amazing. And he goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. An example; we rented the condo for a month, so we were going to be doing a lot of cooking at home. I asked him if he had a crockpot there and he said he did but it had a little crack in it. So he told me to go on Amazon and pick a pot that I liked and let him know. And the day we arrived there was an Amazon delivery with the new crockpot that I had picked out.
The condo itself was perfect for us. Two couples, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. They have a door in the hallway so you can make the second bedroom and bath into a second master. No AC, no problem. Ceiling fans in every room and portable fans aplenty so you can put them where you need them. The condo sits where the cross breezes come through very good also. The kitchen was well stocked and having the extra little fridge was great. Staying for a month allowed us to shop at Costco and have plenty of room to store everything. One of my favorites was the lanai, it has afternoon shade so that was the place to be almost every afternoon. And the lanai has two tables and eight chairs. Big enough to stretch out on. Location was perfect for us. It’s an easy and every time beautiful drive to any activity or shopping location you need to go. My favorite was our daily morning walks. Five minutes and you were at the ocean no matter which way you headed out. And to see the resting turtles on the beach in the mornings was a real treat. The volunteers that are there to protect them have so much info they are willing to share, so be sure to ask any questions you have.
If opportunity allows us to go back, I would book this place in a heartbeat. I know that Darrell would once again make sure we are comfortable and well taken care of.

Everything from communication prior to the rental and the rental itself was seamless. The listing very much reflects the condo and its amenities. The kitchen was more than stocked for cooking most of our meals at the house. We had a crawling infant and the house was perfect for him to move around. The walk to the beach is easy although we did drive when we had lots of gear (thanks to the baby). The pool was lovely and we used it every day. We would happily rent this home again and will recommend it to anybody visiting the area.

Fantastic place to stay. The condo was as advertised. Location was great with an easy walk to the beach. The “beach closet” stocked with umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards and more was convenient and well used!

What an amazing Stay. Our place was at a great location, within 20 to 30 minutes driving of almost anything. Lovely evening breezes kept our place comfortable. We didn’t use the pool though it was right at our doorstep. Would definitely stay here again. Communication was awesome.

Thanks!

This was exactly the island retreat we wanted. The beach gear made trips to the beach so enjoyable and all the tips and recommendations in the island guide were spectacular. The lanai faced east and always provided a beautiful breeze that kept the condo a lovely temperature.

This is a great condo! We stayed here for just over 1 week and had an amazing time! Lots of space for our family - and a short walk to 3 beaches! Darrell was easy and quick to contact - and let us check in early and then check out late when our flight was rescheduled at the last minute!

This was the perfect place for our family of four. The condo is really spacious and, at the same time cozy. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large, as are the living areas. We walked to the beach daily and also took quick drives to nearby beaches. We loved the pool and I was really impressed at how well the condos and grounds were maintained. It was the best trip we’ve taken in a long time.

My sister and I stayed here for one week on our very first visit to Hawaii. This lovely condo really exceeded our expectations. It was neat, clean, and had everything we needed. It even included 4 beach chairs, a boogie board, and most anything you need for the beach. It was a very nice retreat. You can't see the ocean but you can hear it when you sit on the deck with your morning coffee.

This was a perfect property for my husband and I and our three grown children. The place is stocked to the max--chairs, beach mat, beach towels, boogie boards, cooler, umbrella, washer and dryer-- and we used all of it. Kitchen is well stocked. Beautifully remodeled bathroom and kitchen. Pool and BBQ right around the corner. Great communication with Darrell our host.
One previous comment was the lack of AC. There are so many fans and such a great breeze this was no trouble at all-and I am pretty sensitive to heat. Literally slept like a rock.
The only difficulty we had was with the TV which did not seem to have a good system for live TV--couldn't even get local news. Plan to bring HDMI cord and use Netflix and other accounts from your laptop.
Cant wait to rent this property again!

Well maintained roomy condo. There is a small walk with stairs from where you park your car to the condo. Three beaches walking distance. One of them is good for snorkeling, Poipu one for body boarding ( there is one bodyboard you can borrow and some snorkeling gear). Great coastal trail nearby. Most main activities on Kauai within 30 minutes driving.

This trip was just what we needed after 18 months of crazy. The owners were super helpful as I fumbled through the whole rental process. The condo was perfectly located, easy walking to so many wonderful locations. We felt safe, cozy and surrounded by paradise. I would return in a heartbeat.

The condo was perfect - it comfortably fit my adult daughter, my elderly mother, and my husband and I. Beautifully decorated and has everything we could use for the beach which was a short walk. The owners communicated well. I highly recommend this place in Poipu.

This was our third time visiting Kauai but the first time with a 1-year-old. We wanted to make sure that the place we rented would have all the things we needed to make our trip go smoothly with a toddler--and this condo was perfect! It was close to town, restaurants, and the beaches. All the amenities were great to have especially the beach gear!
Darrell was very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. We would definitely try to stay there again the next time we visit Kauai.
Thank you for everything Darrell!

We really enjoyed our stay at Makanui #412. They provided pretty much everything from TP, paper towels, all the spices you can imagine, dish soap and laundry soap. When we arrived the bed wasn't set up as a second king so I called the owner and within 15 minutes the girls were there to switch the beds to the way we had asked.
There were coolers in the closet along with Beach towels and there were some boogie boards and snorkel gear (they were well used, but there still) The only thing I can say about the location of the condo is that it is further back from the water and you have to walk around the corner to find the greenbelt that takes you to the beach so a bit of a walk...but all in all we still loved the location. The cool breeze each night kept us cool and the complex was quiet.
Would highly recommend. The price was great.
thanks again Raff.

This place was absolutely perfect for us! We came as 2 couples, we each got our own bedrooms AND bathrooms which were private. So great the layout they did for the 2nd bedroom to be able to create that second private bathroom. Very important to us being couples. They even made up the 2nd bedroom into a king bed by putting the twins together. It was super nice and clean. Bathrooms were very big. Was a cozy place for us to relax after our busy days. The pool is only steps away. And it's central to all the beaches. Thanks for a wonderful time we will stay with you again for sure when we come back!

Bedrooms were spacious and had comfortable beds. Newly re-modeled bathrooms and kitchen were modern, well laid out and had more than all necessary supplies. Unit was well stocked with beach toys including boogie boards, snorkel gear, beach chairs and beach towels. Extra features such as a valuables safe, beverage fridge and complimentary coffee were nice surprises. Proximity to barbecue facilities and quietest pool in the entire Poipu Kai development were a treat. 5 minutes walk to Poipu beach, tennis courts on site, 5 minute walked to the Grand Hyatt Kauai and short 5 minute drive to all amenities of Poipu area and old Koloa Town.
Complex is quiet, well maintained and perfect for family vacations. Huge Lanai off the living room is a peaceful spot for morning coffee or afternoon snack. Complex is walking distance to Sea Turtles at Poipu Beach and Whales are visible off shore. Sunsets and nightly display of stars is amazing.
Our family would definitely stay there again.

My wife and I had a fantastic time staying at this condo. From beginning to end, the experience was flawless. The owners were very helpful and responsive to any questions I had in advance of our stay in their home. The kitchen and bathrooms were recently remodeled, washer and dryer worked fine, and there was also plenty of beach gear as described, along with fast internet service (although I tried to stay offline as one should!). The expansive lanai had a lovely garden view and everything was cleaned and well cared-for. It was easy to get around to the area attractions, whether driving or walking from the condo. We look forward to a future stay here in Poipu!

This condo is as described and is a nice, large size well set up for two couples or for a family. The kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed for preparing meals, including extras I didn't expect like a stock pot and rice cooker. We thought the furniture and decor made us feel like we were in a home away from home. The condo is well laid out for cross breezes so we never had a problem with the apartment being too hot. It was clean and well maintained with labels on all the light switches (helpful!). There was all sorts of beach gear such as umbrellas, boogie boards, water booties which the owners said we were welcome to use. I thought that was a nice touch. The condo is located in an end unit with a large lanai overlooking a lawn with shrubs and mature trees. The owners were very helpful and promptly responded to any questions. They also provided a binder filled with restaurant recommendations, beach recommendations and tips. It is located about an 8 minute walk to Poipu beach (leisurely pace), with other beaches even closer.
We enjoyed walks down along the beach front to the Marriott Waiohai Beach Club for sunset cocktails. It's an excellent location for watching the sunset and strolling back to the condo.
I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay there again.

Great place to stay just a 5 min walk away from a great beach. Place was clean and had everything one needed to live in the place. The pool area was well maintained. It got a bit warm at night as it had no air conditioning but I noted that most accommodation in the area did not have this feature.
I am putting down people with disabilities to use as the entire living area is one floor. It maybe a bit difficult to access via wheelchair (stairs from the car park but could wheel along the grassy area) to the building but those who are mobile or assist mobile it is workable.

My family and I were extremely pleased with our stay! prior to our arrival I had contacted the owners with recommendations for activities on the island and a few other questions, I always received a response within a day. The owners were very helpful! Upon our arrival the condo was more than we expected. Everything is up to date, well taken care of and was stocked with a good amount of things from cookware, spices/seasonings, to beach gear. The location is perfect and we couldn't have been happier with our stay.

They also had a binder there with things to do and to eat at. Beds was to dream on. We were so relaxed and enjoying the condo We didn't want to come home. We are already thinking of our next trip and stay at this condo. Raff is right on it when you have Questions or advise Thanks for a great time

This condo was just as described. We loved all the amenities of home, especially for our 2 year old. The condo was very spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. We were able to cook a fair share here to avoid spending the big bucks at a fancy restaurant. The bathrooms are large and updated. It was nice to be able to have use of the coolers and beach equipment. The beach is nearby, and the pool is literally steps out of the condo. A short drive down the road brings you to the Poipu shopping center where they have many different shops and restaurants. Overall we had nice time, however, one thing we overlooked when booking was the lack of an air conditioner. Maybe it was an extraordinarily hot/humid 5 days or maybe we had become spoiled coming from air conditioning in the North shore, but we were almost miserable without it. We had to have my son nap in the car because it was so hot in the house during the day. The fans didn't run fast enough to provide any air flow. There wasn't much of a breeze at night either to cool it down. This property was great otherwise. But I don't think we would stay here again unless it was a little cooler inside.
