About this property

Stunning Oceanfront Views, 2+bedrms, Beautifully Renovated Condo In Poipu, Kauai

Located on a picturesque lava bluff, our top floor condo offers privacy, cooling trade winds and panoramic ocean vistas which a camera can't begin to capture.
Crashing waves, migrating whales and sunrise/sunset views are what you'll see as you relax on the lanai or in the living space. Our unit is a spacious 2 bedroom, + loft, 2.5 bath with over 1100 sq. ft. of living space. Each bedroom has a queen size bed, fully private en suite bathroom and ceiling fan. There is additional square footage and sleeping space in the well appointed loft which has two twin beds. The twin beds can be converted to one king size bed upon request. An additional air mattress and twin bed mattress is also available. Porta crib and toddler chair are also provided if needed.
The unit is designed to maximize privacy with the living and dining space on the first level, bedrooms on the second level and loft on the third level.
The well equipped gourmet kitchen has cherry wood cabinets and granite counter tops. The stainless steel appliances include a dishwasher, microwave, oven and refrigerator with filtered water and ice dispenser.
There is high speed wireless internet to keep you connected, and each bedroom, loft and the living room has it's own t.v. with cable service.
Beach chairs, Egyptian beach towels, umbrellas cooler, aqua shoes, snorkeling sets and more are included for your days at the beach. Be sure to ask about all the beach amenities we provide.
A full size washer and dryer are also in the unit.
We are new owners of this property which has previously been listed on VRBO #113987 and has had more than 90 5-star reviews. Upon request, we are happy to provide you with some of those prior reviews. We have worked diligently to maintain the high standards of the previous owner and to anticipate your vacation needs in order to provide a carefree vacation for you - whether you are family, a couple or friends.
The condo complex itself offers several amenities. There is a private swimming pool and heated spa central to your building. A lighted tennis court and a protected lava rock barbecue grill pavilion are also onsite.
Poipu is on the Southern and sunniest point of Kauai. Poipu Beach Park is a short 6 block walk away. The surrounding lava rocks at that beach create a protected swimming area perfect for children. At the adjacent beach you can swim with sea turtles and boogie board. Surfing is also close by at the Hyatt and Marriott Resorts' public beaches and Shipwrecks Beach. A short ride or doable walk from the condo provides more surfing, snorkeling and wave boarding opportunities.
Poipu also hosts an array of restaurants, shopping experiences and farmers markets.
Also, be sure to do some day tripping! The nearby Poipu Bay Golf Course is minutes away and open to the public.The lush North Shore, Waimea Canyon, bustling Kapaa and water and hiking adventures will provide a lifetime of wonderful memories.

We're not surprised that guests return year after year.

Crispy Times!
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.

Such an amazing space and view
We absolutely loved this condo!! The host was amazing at suggesting everything to do, see and eat in the area. The condo is spacious, clean and there was champagne and snacks waiting for us upon checkin. Although no AC, sleeping with the windows open and listening to the waves was so so peaceful. You can walk to Poipu beach to snorkle and see the sea turtles, you can walk to food and coffee, as well as jump on the beautiful heritage trail, that takes you to the Hyatt Beach and to some cliffs with amazing ocean views. You are smack in the middle of Waimea canyon and Hanalei beach, one hour in opposite directions. We saw whales from our balcony and enjoyed every morning on the porch. I would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful Stay!
My month long stay could not have been improved on! Communication with Marsha was prompt and she always was there for me and any questions I had. There are no words for the view from the condo! Pictures in the listing don’t do it justice. Watched whales going by from the lanai. The condo has everything needed for your visit, all the essentials are there. The pool and hot tub were nice to look forward to towards the end of the day. I had a mid month cleaning and it looked like I had just walked in on the first day. Location is awesome. Close to beaches and great walking trails right outside the door. The Management team appeared to really care about the complex and the cleanliness of the grounds. Truly a month of paradise and a big thx to Marsha for her Aloha Spirit🌴

Wonderful location
The condo is a short walk to Poipu Beach where we saw Hawaiian sea turtles coming to shore at sunset each evening and turning back to sea if you want to visit the beach at sunrise. The kitchen is well stocked and we cooked dinner half the time we were there and enjoyed eating in Koloa or Kaapa on other nights. We took a sea tour from nearby Port Allen and loved passing through the tree tunnel for our daily excursions. Keep in mind there is no AC which I think is typical for the area condos but we were mostly cool with the trade winds and house fans. Saw a large pod of dolphins from the balcony one morning and enjoyed morning strolls right on the property watching the swells and waves crash onto shore. Definitely recommend for a family stay!

Hostess with the mostess
This is the first Vrbo review I’ve ever written and I am writing because of the amazing property owners. We had booked a week here after cancelling a week abroad over Covid issues. We had our flights cancelled and rescheduled multiple times and the owners were so very easy to communicate with, generous and flexible. The house itself was great for the four of us ( 2 adults and 2 kids) and we could have fit 2 more easily. We saw rays and whales from the balcony and at the beach just down the road there are turtles and seals that rest there every day. The house is comfortable and very well equipped- we especially enjoyed the boogie boards and snorkeling equipment that we could use every day. The condo complex has a pool and a hot tub which we enjoyed every day. The only drawback is that you have to walk about ten minutes to get to the beach (or drive 2 minutes and we always found parking) as the condo complex itself is up on some cliffs. Overall I recommend this place 110%, thank you for a magical stay!

Lovely stay in amazing location
This is a fantastic unit in a wonderful property, easily walkable to multiple beaches and a super short drive from lots of small towns with wonderful activities, food, and coffee. With the grand Hyatt basically next door and a walking path from the beach in front of that hotel all the way to the beach the other direction, it’s paradise and all walkable. The property was well appointed with plenty of beach gear, chairs, toys, etc. bathrooms are nice with plenty of hot water, and the kitchen looks like a recent renovation. The lanai is where we spent most of our time overlooking the pool (quiet, don’t worry) and the expansive ocean views! We had a ever so slight hiccup getting into the unit, but the owner and her friends in town couldn’t have been more helpful. It actually made the place feel even more well loved and homey knowing such wonderful people care so much about it and their guests! 100 stars!

Near perfection!
What a fantastic location! I have visited Kauai over a dozen times, although never at this property. I don't think I will ever go anywhere else now. The unit was clean, comfortable, and the view is unbeatable. This was the first visit to the island for a couple in the party and they were as impressed as I was. The front door can be tricky. It locks like a hotel as soon as it closes. I accidentally locked myself out, bad. But, Marsha was so responsive that she had someone with a key there inside thirty minutes, fantastic! This is where I will stay every time I come to the island. My new Poipu go to!

Our Kauai Stay
As we were in Kauai for a wedding, we really didn't get out to tour the Island much. However, we enjoyed the amenities and the closeness it was to the Grand Hyatt and Poipu Beach. The Condo was fully stocked with everything you would need from the kitchen to the beach toys etc. Each room is equipped with ceiling and floor fans so the "no A/C" was not much of a problem. When we get the change to come back to Kauai...we would likely stay here again.

Ocean view 3 bdrm Makahuena
The unit itself was in very nice condition, well kept and equipped. It has enough beds and baths to comfortably suit a large family, at least up to 6. Very good location with wonderful ocean and sunset views. The condominium complex is somewhat older and has some maintenance issues. For example, the hot tub was largely unusable, since it was too hot, the temperature controls were locked and the jets didn't work. For the complex as a whole, lots of people, not a great deal of privacy and a fair amount of noise. However, it didn't by any means negatively impact our stay. After all, how can you have a bad time on Kauai?

A lovely vacation
Marsha & Ernesto were really helpful with advice as we were planning the trip (they even helped us find a surf guide for our daughter) and then they were graciously flexible when we had to change dates. There were a couple of snafus when we first arrived; the front door lock had a problem and the coffee maker was broken, but Marsha was so apologetic and had it all fixed within two hours. She was great! The view from the living room is spectacular. There was nothing better than lying on the couch and looking at the ocean and palm trees or starting our day drinking coffee on the balcony watching the ocean. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is a nice size and the unit is very clean. The only drawback is that the balcony overlooks the pool and sometimes there were loud children in the pool. If you have small kids it won't be a problem I'm sure and we got over it, but it's a good thing to know ahead of time. The great thing is you couldn't have better, more responsive hosts.

Fantastic! Looking to come back next year!
Very well kept, super clean and had everything we needed and then some! Beach equipment was provided and truly appreciated. Owner was super friendly and excellent at communicating and very quickly. Great personal suggestions were made before we even arrived and they had created a wonderful binder of resources that stays in the unit. Personal touches were apparent and they made it a welcoming place. They obviously take pride in their property as well as taking care of their guests. The entire facility was clean and well kept (BBQs, pool, hot tub) and a great location.

We had a fabulous time at this wonderful condo. We enjoyed seeing whales off the balcony, and having our coffee in a tranquil setting. There were beautiful walking paths just off the condo and we were walking distance to the beach. Marsha and Ernesto provided all the necessities needed for a family including beach gear!

Perfect location for our wonderful holiday
We loved this condo, it checked all the boxes for us! Plenty of space, well stocked modern kitchen, beach gear, easy parking close to the unit and a wonderful ocean view. Marsha was wonderful to work with and provided so many nice touches, including suggestions on things to do and some flexibility on checkin. As noted in the profile the unit doesn't have AC, but given the property is on the tip of the most southern point on the island there was always a strong cool breeze once we opened the windows on both sides of the unit. All in all it was one of the best values of our many visits to Hawaii. I would easily choose to stay here again. Thank you Marsha! Tip: Try Waikomo shaved ice, they use real fruit and is amazing. Next door, Anaku's Juice Bar and Makai Sushi (togo) in the Kukuliula market are also our favorite in Poipu. Can't wait for our next trip!

This condo was fabulous....spacious bedrooms, gourmet kitchen, and spectacular view from the lanai. This unit has one of the best views in the entire complex. Very close to shopping and great restaurants--either by quick drive or nice walk. So many nice extras were provided to make our stay comfortable and relaxing: beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, baby accessories, etc. You will not need to pack or worry about buying a lot while staying here!

Clean, comfortable condo with stunning ocean view. Everything I had hoped for and more.
The condo is close to the beach and a short drive to shops and restaurants. I really liked the 3 levels of the condo as it provides space and privacy. The kitchen is very nice. It is well stocked and it allowed us to cook wonderful meals both in the unit and using the BBQ (3 of them). The beds were super comfortable. There were plenty of towels and it was nice to have a washer and dryer. Can't say enough about this place and the wonderful time we had here. I will be recommending this property to friends and I am sure I will book it for future vacations. The instructions and suggestions book for guests was especially helpful. We really enjoyed ordering fresh fish from Garden Isle Seafood. What a treat! Marsha and Ernesto were extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. They responded quickly to all of our questions and were sincerely concerned with the comfort and enjoyment of our stay.

A Paradise in Paradise.
Aloha; what an amazing introduction to HI! Marsha’s 3 story condo was just what we were looking for. There was room to spare for our 2 ‘ohanas (families) in this homey feeling oasis with picture postcard views. The two main bedrooms each with their own bathroom were perfect for each couple to have their own space and room enough for a Pack ‘n Play too, and the loft with the twin beds was a very exciting space for the 3-year-old. A full-sized, fully loaded kitchen had us cooking in every night (there was even a blender - perfect for smoothies and baby purees). Washer-dryer access was key after a day at the beach (10-15 min walk away). Oh, and when we opted for a chill day, we were still able to take a quick dip in the pool, relax in the hot tub, and toss some fresh fish on the community grills . I would have to say my favorite part about this place though was the lanai. Friendly birds came to visit, we saw waves and whales, and we kept the sliding doors open which provided such great air flow that we didn’t even need the ceiling fans. Would I go back to HI? Yes. Would I stay at Marsha's again? In a heartbeat. Mahalo.

About the host

Hosted by Marsha Weinberg and Ernesto Michel

Host profile image
Owners Marsha and Ernesto are avid travelers and nature lovers. We have both lived in San Diego for many years with Marsha growing up in Minneapolis and Ernesto in Guadalajara, Mexico. We have a multi-cultural family with members from South Africa and El Salvador and have had many wonderful experiences meeting people from all over the world. We have both worked in human services and continue to learn through our children and grandchildren's growth and development. When we travel, we frequently stay in VRBO rentals and want to provide our guests with the comforts that we appreciate when traveling.

Why they chose this property

Marsha lived and went to college in Oahu and one of our sons was married in Maui, which created an affinity for the islands. But, throughout the years, Kauai has been our favorite island because of its natural beauty, leisurely pace and the kindness and helpfulness of its residents. We have experienced the Aloha Spirit first hand and want to share it! We truly feel calmer and more peaceful in Kauai, able to remove ourselves from the stress of our usual daily lives. It is that experience we hope you will also enjoy as you stay in the Makahuena.

What makes this property unique

We specifically chose Poipu because of its ideal weather; indeed the sunniest side of the island. We chose Makahuena, after scouring the island for homes, because we were awestruck by the ocean view, which stunned us the moment we walked into the living room. We were also sold on its proximity to one of the best beaches on Kauai, the casualness of the development and the kindness and friendliness of neighbors.
