It’s hard to go wrong with a stay in Poipu, it never disappoints! The drawbacks to our stay, parking lot construction made parking and exiting the parking lot very difficult. Other than that, everything was great! I really enjoyed the wine, coffee and snacks that were provided. We also utilized the 3 coolers available to use and the snorkeling equipment. There were tons of towels and when we needed more, it was great to be able to wash them up in the washer and dryer. Thanks for a wonderful and memorable stay in your unit!

Overall the unit was as advertised and provided our family of 5 lots of space. We loved having all of the beach items that came with the rental (snorkel gear, boogie boards, sand toys, beach chairs, umbrella...)! The kitchen was fully stocked and also kid friendly with plastic cups, plates, bowls. We had one question about where to find parking passes and owners responded instantly to our text and also email during our stay to ensure everything was going well. Location is also great with a short drive to Poipu Beach, hiking trails along the beach, and lots of restaurant options with 5-10 minute drive.
Highly recommend!

We booked this place for my daughter’s graduation trip and the location was great. We walked over to the rocks and watched the waves crash in and turtles in the surf. Close to other great beaches and clean and super nice. We will be back!!!! Mahalo!!!

The condo looked exactly like the pictures online. It was spotless! It had so many amenities…especially if you have young children (we did not). There are plenty of beach toys, and towels. Also extremely roomy. There’s a beautiful pool and hiking trails nearby. The owners were very responsive! We really enjoyed our stay and time in Kauai. I would definitely stay again!

We loved Kauai and everything there is to explore on such a beautiful island! The location of the condo is great and we enjoyed the spectacular view from the patio. Pros- The condo is located an easy distance to everything you would want to do on the South Shore, beaches, restaurants, shops and activities. There are chairs, umbrellas, snorkels and masks and boogie boards that make your beach trips easy and comfortable. You can walk to many beaches and restaurants. The check-in was smooth, we arrived 30 min early and we able to get right in. The instructions and relevant information was easily accessible. The kitchen had everything you would need for meals at home. Cons- When we arrived we were excited to go out to the patio and enjoy the view, what we didn't expect was to find all the tables and chairs filthy. There was so much dirt that we spent the next hour cleaning so we could sit down. I understand that the winds tends to blow red dirt everywhere I would however, expect that everything would be clean to start our stay. As requested we took off our shoes when we came in the condo, in a short time our socks were covered in dirt. It didn't seem that housekeeping had cleaned/mopped the floor before our stay. We found the vacuum and did our best to clean up. The most difficult thing we encountered was the noise from the bedroom and living room air conditioners. It was so loud that we had to turn them off at night. The condo is nice but ready for an update in most rooms.

I am a person that looks at reviews before deciding where to stay. I never understand how one review says 5 stars and than another one just weeks later is a 2 star. I can truthfully tell you that this was by far one of the best places we have stayed at. The location was perfect. Everything we could have ever wanted was available to us to use.

Everything from the entrance to the open living area, the magic just opened up into a magistic view! Not like the impact of getting hit by a train, but a wave of layered satisfaction. This was a vacation where time stopped, and a wonderful crispy way to rest and play in Gods playground. The ocean and Condo are one.

Our family of six adults enjoyed our stay at Jeremy’s place. The facilities are solid…as described. The location is excellent. The hikes along the cliffs toward the Grand Hyatt and beyond are excellent. The short drive to Poipu beach for snorkeling and surfing is easy. The grill is also great

Best unit in the complex for viewing sunset. Comfortable and good a/c. A/C unit in the living room is loud and annoying at times, but there overall a great stay. Plenty of beach chairs, towels, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even some snorkeling equipment for fantastic beach days.

This was our 6th trip to the Poipu Beach area but the closest we’ve ever been to the ocean. Absolutely amazing location and amenities. The Pickleball courts alone made this property a game changer. Wonderful accommodations would love to go back.

We’re a family of four who stayed here for 7 nights in August 2024. Overall, the condo was very good.
What we liked:
- Location and View: Stunning sunrises and sunsets on the southernmost point of Kauai. Sunrises from the lanai were spectacular. The nearby lava rocks offered great views of the sunsets and waves.
- Amenities: Included 4 beach chairs, 2 beach umbrellas (1 was broken), a backpack cooler, and basic toiletries.
- Interior: Spacious and comfortable for a family of 4. Upstairs bedrooms were roomy, and the A/C units, though noisy, kept the rooms cool. Downstairs was adequately cooled by opening the sliding door and using the ceiling fan. The master bedroom bed was especially comfortable.
- Parking: Conveniently close to the unit with ample parking spots. Two flights of stairs to the front door were manageable.
- Check-in: We were provided clear instructions via email for checking in, which included a code to access the physical key in the lock box. Couldn't have been any smoother.
What could’ve been better:
- Dated Interior: The condo felt a bit outdated compared to the pictures. Some wear and tear was evident, but not a major issue.
- Construction: Ongoing construction next to the property affected the view and created noise, particularly on weekdays. It’s best to plan outings in the morning to avoid this.
- Minor Details: Not enough bath towels and the hand soap was too watery.
Overall, we were happy with the condo and would definitely stay here again.

The problems began from the minute of checkin. We were told by Vikki the property manager that the condo was ready for checkin. When we arrived the condo was not ready as housekeeping were still working. Upon arriving we noticed the building was run down and very outdated. The pool was very small and in a very awkward area. After a long day of adventure we were tired and ready to relax by eating dinner and watching tv as a family. After using the well stocked kitchen we sat down to watch tv which did not work. The main bedroom bed was very uncomfortable. But the worst was the bathroom had no door so anybody going into the bedroom had a full view of the toilet and shower. With no AC it was unbearably hot as the trade winds that we were told would keep the condo cool was no existent. The next day began more problems as I had to wait in the condo for 2 hours waiting on tv repairman and maintenance while family was out having fun. That night when we were exhausted from vacation after about 10 minutes being back the electrify in the condo began to surge where power was out in some areas of the condo while other areas was surging. We called as it was advertised 24/7 emergency maintenance and Vikki the manager stated that all she could do was call or text the emergency maintenance. After 30 minutes of no response called Vikki back and she said that was all she could do. Also very condescending and rude when she was told we didn’t feel safe. NO SMOKE DETECTORS! BEWARE!

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.

Our favorite part of the day was to sit on the deck with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the crashing waves and the turtles come and go. Most days we were graced with dolphins and rainbows as well. The unit had everything we needed and was quiet and clean. The property itself is older but this did not bother us at all. The pool is small but was never crowded when we were there. Everyone we met was very friendly so chatting at the pool was nice. It was a short walk or drive if you had gear to Poipu or shipwreck beach. We had a great stay and would recommend the unit for a small family.

Perfect for our family of 4. Well stocked kitchen for cooking and lots of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, etc in the condo. Pool and hot tub was nice to relax at after hiking or a day at the beach. We also enjoyed the lanai and its views in the morning and evening. The AC unit on the patio is a bit warm when it is running but if you turn it off while you want to be on the patio it cools down quickly..

We had the best time in Poipu! The condo was fabulous! The location of the complex and the specific unit was perfect! The patio is close to the pool and the entrance to the unit easy to access and not up flights of stairs! The host was easy to contact and reached out after we arrived with a cell number! Book this unit, it was amazing. Well stocked, clean and comfortable!!!

The condo was perfectly located: near Brennecke's beach which had perfect body boarding waves, and a nice beach area that had kiddie protected area. At sunset, the turtles come up onto the beach.
The condo was a good large size, with AC bedrooms - perfect for our family. It has a two -level layout which gave our teens the space they needed, though they complained the wifi was slow and spotty (which may be a teen thing, and not so bad to keep them off their devices :)).
The living area was comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.
The pool and ground were well-kept too. We would stay again.

The place was very nice and pretty clean! The ocean views every day were incredible. We traveled with an 18 month old and there was no high chair, but they did have child silverware. The grounds are beautiful and the pool is clean. There are a lot of stairs, which was hard hauling our baby and all our stuff for the day. Overall it was pretty great!

We really enjoyed our stay at Makahuena. The condo was clean and a perfect fit for our group of 7 (4 adults, 3 younger kids). The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. The pool was right outside our door and enjoyed by everyone in our group. The condo was also very close to the beach, shopping, and restaurants.

This was a very nice condo and a perfect area. We were minutes away from our dinners at the Grand Hyatt and minutes away from our favorite beaches, including Poipu. It was a nice and clean spot, and we would definitely stay here again. The construction didn’t bother us, but we usually spent all day at the beach and the workers were gone by the time we would get back from dinner. Easy check in and we were happy.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay in this spacious, clean, updated townhouse style condo with an ocean view. It is a 15 minute walk to Poipu beach and short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. The unit is well-stocked with beach equipment and kitchen essentials for cooking meals. My one criticism is that the portable A/C units in the bedrooms are extremely loud and kept waking me up in the middle of the night. It was a tradeoff for the relief from the heat.

The room was decotaed nice and had the amenities you would need in the kitchen and for out door fun. Where we had problems is that there is no air in the unit and 2 of 3 ceiling fans were not working which made for a warm unit. The tv in master bedroom did notwork. The dryer did not work until the last 2 days. 2 after maintenance came.notwdu

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It was a perfect south side location, close to beaches and shopping and easy access to the main road around the island. The property manager was responsive and allowed us extend our stay on the last day to accommodate a change in our boat tour. Overall the property was clean and comfortable but could use a bit of updating, especially the upstairs bedrooms/bathrooms. I would recommend this property.

Our third time in Kauai. Great condo in Poipu that easily accommodated our family of 5 (12 year old, 2 teenagers, myself and my wife). Location was perfect for accessing Poipu Beach, Breakneck Beach, Shipwreck Beach, and all the restaurants in Koloa. Seems relatively recently upgraded on the inside (overall building is older, but decent). Kitchen was well stocked and there were chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrellas, and some beach toys in the closet. Plenty of linens, beach towels, kitchen towels, and bathroom towels. Very quiet property with well-insulated walls. We slept very comfortably! Views from the patio are gorgeous!
Property management was excellent, with clear and friendly communication throughout the stay. We even misplaced a key (long story - we retrieved it) and the property manager guided us to locate a spare to enter the property.
Only very minor gripe - when AC is on throughout the property the fan blows hot air onto the balcony patio making it hard to sit there. This was a problem for all the other condos in the building besides ours and wasn’t an issue throughout the stay, especially on the cooler days when we weren’t running AC.
Overall, would highly recommend this condo and this location!

My family and I stayed here for a week and it fit our needs perfectly. The condo looks out onto the pool and you can see the ocean from the deck. There was a bunch of beach equipment, like umbrellas and chairs, that really came in handy. The upstairs bedrooms had AC which really helped as we came in July. All in all we loved it and hope to come back soon.

It only took us 20 min from LIH and the location was easy enough to find. I wish I had arrived earlier in day rather than 11p but that was my bad, also I had thought I received email for entry from VRBO but I got a n email direct from owner, unfortunately went to my junk emails-just a small embarrassment on my part getting into unit. But after that the stay was great! The location is amazing good walking area and so close to drive or 15 min casual walk to beach. The unit had everything except AC but opening windows/doors solved that. The pool is close by and great if you don’t want to be sandy. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped. And the cookies on arrival was a nice touch. It does have a few fans and could use one more but that’s just a suggestion from two menopause ladies lol. Basically we had a great time.

Fantastic location and amazing views right from the lanai. Saw turtles everyday from our lanai and one day we saw stingray.
Sunsets are incredible just sitting our lanai with drink in hand.
Short walk to Poipu beach and trail near condo was easy to access and great for morning run/walks along the water.
Owner also had condo well stocked in kitchen and plenty of supplies.
Spacious bathrooms and very comfortable master bed.
Definitely recommend and will stay again on any future trips to Kauai.
Thank you!
