About this property

Newly Renovated Amazing Oceanview & Mountain View 3BR/2.5BA - Makahuena #4308

Welcome to our beautifully renovated condo, perfectly situated to offer southeast-facing, uninhibited views of the majestic mountains, Shipwreck Rock, and the breathtaking Pacific Ocean. During the winter months, you can enjoy the awesome sight of whales breaching right from our lanai!

First Floor:
Our condo spans three levels, beginning with a welcoming first floor that includes a half bath with a laundry area, a newly renovated kitchen, dining area, living space, and, of course, our lovely lanai. One of the standout features of this floor is the unique side-cut window, providing an unrivaled view of the ocean right from the comfort of the couch – a feature exclusive to our unit at the Makahuena.

Second Floor:
On the second floor, you'll find the primary bedroom, also featuring a side-cut window that offers stunning ocean views as soon as you wake up. This bedroom has a king-size bed for your ultimate comfort. The primary bath has been completely renovated, featuring a walk-in shower with glass blocks and beautiful tilework. The second bedroom on this floor includes twin beds that can be converted into a king-size bed upon request. It also has access to a newly renovated full bath with a walk-in shower.

Third Floor 'Loft':
Our third-floor 'loft' offers a queen-size bed and an expansive window with panoramic views of the mountains and ocean. Despite being termed a 'loft', this space provides the privacy and tranquility you need, away from the socializing areas below.

Comfort and Convenience
Please note that our condo does not have air conditioning, but with the windows open, the refreshing trade winds keep the unit cool and comfortable. There are fans in every room to ensure your comfort.

Prime Location
Our condo is located on the third floor of the Makahuena, accessible by stairs (please note, the Makahuena condos have no elevators). It is a short walk to the beautifully maintained grounds of the Grand Hyatt Resort and nearby beaches such as Brennecke's, Shipwreck, the protected waters of Baby Beach, and the famous Poipu Beach, named America's Best Beach by the Travel Channel. There are convenient grocery stores and shopping areas nearby.

Thrill Seekers’ Paradise
For adventure enthusiasts, our condo is near some of the best surf breaks on the south shore, including PK's, Waiohai, Left Lefts, and Brennecke's Beach, perfect for boogie boarding and body surfing. Don’t miss the thrilling cliff jumpers at Shipwreck's Beach.
Nukomoi Surf Co. in Poipu offers great board rentals and fantastic deals on week-long rentals.

Experience the perfect blend of comfort and adventure in our beautifully renovated condo. We're excited to host you!

Family vacation

The proper met our needs in cleanliness and comfort. It slept the six of us very comfortably and it was located in an area close to the beach and shopping. Although there was no air conditioning, the ocean breezes were definitely cool enough for comfort and ease for seeping. We were very satisfied with our time in this home.

Shippy’s overlook

Great view and location! A perfect place to lay our heads, cook, and relax. Beaches in walking distance. Property is a bit weathered due to being so close to salt water and wind. However, updates and remodels are on the way. We felt very comfortable and they have coolers and beach chairs to borrow. Tennis and pickle ball court, outdoor grilling, pool, and hot tub all available to guests.

Very old property

Multiple flight of stairs to the unit. Three flights of stairs to the pool. No elevator, no cell service, beds were very old. Kitchen supplies are old and mis-matched. The unit was hot and humid even with all the fans running. This was my 6th visit to Kauai. Never again at this property.

The Bride's Family

What amazing views! Every morning, we had coffee and breakfast on the lanai and watched the waves crash on the rocks. Our first evening there we watched the full moon rise over the ocean. We enjoyed walks to Shipwreck Beach or Poipu Beach. The condo is clean bright and airy. It is located close to everything on the south end of the island and easy driving to the north shore. . The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, and we even grilled out one evening. The gardens were beautiful and the common areas were well maintained. The owners and office staff were very helpful. This was our first trip to Kauai- our daughter was getting married on the beach. The wedding and reception exceeded all expectations, Kauai was spectacular! Family menbers who stayed at other condos were in awe of our space and views. We would definitely go back and would highly recommend this spot to others!

For a VRBO in Kauai I expected better for $275/night. The furniture and kitchen were outdated, the towels were old and the kitchen was not very well stocked, not to mention, it just felt dingy and dirty throughout. I also thought carpet in the bedroom and the stairway needed to be replaced and was very dirty. We were told a crib would be provided and confirmed this days before arrival, and no crib was anywhere to be found. A great breeze throughout made the lack of AC no issue at all.

Great place to stay with breath taking views

It was an amazing place to stay. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets seen from the lanai. I would stay again. Only downfall, if you need something shipped to you, make sure you ask for the key to the mailbox ahead of time. I was unaware that I would not have access to the mailbox of the condo I rented for a week. I had my dress for a wedding I was attending shipped there and I could not access it since the key was in another state. To me, that just doesn’t make sense, the complex office should have a key for instances such as this. My dress matched my family perfectly and I had to wear something completely different because no one had access to the box. It was very upsetting. Other than that, the stay was great!

Big, Breezy Ocean Views for Family

This Makahuena Unit made a comfortable headquarters for our Kauai adventures and explorations and was a destination in its own right. Most days started and ended on the lanai watching huge splashes from the waves against the rocks, clouds breaching the horizon, and Mynas, Nenes, and red-crested cardinals going about their business. Makahuena Point is breezy and having that airflow through the rooms kept the temperature pleasant. We did not lack a thing and there was space to be alone or gather for meals and games. Very special time for our family.

Beautiful Views but needs upgrades

Beautiful views and great location. Needs upgrades and cleaned better. Not all electrical outlets were functional and some sparked when you plug in a devices. We stopped charging our devices at the location for fear it they would be fried. Some of the decor should be tossed as they show years of use. Beds were very uncomfortable. We left a night early. This location has great potential. If it got the loved and upgrades needed, it would be an great 360 experience. Sorry.

Great location !

Firstly love this location, close to everything and gorgeous ocean views. Condo was very clean but needs updating, broken cabinets, broken sink drains, nothing major but just would improve place. Also a/c would have been welcome, we had strong winds and couldn’t even have windows open so it got quite hot. I would not recommend this complex to anyone with mobility issues, one member in our party broke his ankle first week of holidays and found there is so many stairs here, up to suite, within suite. Absolutely charming if you have no issues but this proved challenging. Complex is not handicap friendly. The owners were lovely to deal with through all these years of Covid bookings and changes and offered helpful suggestions to us for our stay. I would recommend this place as for everything it offers the price reflects the updates needed and it was very reasonable.

So wonderful!

Such a great property with excellent location, views, and amenities. Our group of 6 (3 adults, 3 young teens) loved this property. We watched the sun rise each day from the lanai, and the sunset set each day from the pool. The house was well equipped with recreational equipment; we used the tennis court daily, as well as enjoyed the many many walking and running opportunities. Having both a kitchen and laundry in the house were wonderful. Thank you for letting us enjoy this property.

Great location- beautiful views

Great info provided prior to arrival. Condo is 3 levels with the 1/2 bath, Laundry, kitchen and living room on main Level. Beds were very comfortable, condo was extremely well equipped with everything from puzzles/games, beach gear to the kitchen amenities (and everything in between.) During our stay, the front door lock malfunctioned and Evelyn was very responsive! Maintenance was working on it within 10 minutes and the next day a new lock was installed. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to stay again. (We left a note that one light was burnt out on staircase).

Great location and comfortable accommodations

This is a great condo in a fabulous location. The pictures of the condo are accurate, except the grass outside looks dry and dead. That should not deter anyone from staying here. The lanai had gorgeous sunrise views and the sliding doors allowed for fabulous cross breezes. Truth be told that the condo could use some updating but we spent more time at the beach and exploring than in the condo. Regardless, the condo was comfortable and relaxing. The location was perfect for us. It was 30 minutes to Glass Beach, 1 hour to Koke'e State Park (stop for poke at Ishihara's Market in Pakala Village), and a little over an hour to Hanalei (stop for lunch at Olympic Cafe in Kapa'a). The condo is between Shipwreck Beach and Poipu Beach. I wouldn't walk to either beach but the drive was 5 minutes to each. We did not have trouble finding parking but we were there during the week. Overall, we didn't have any issues with the condo, management was responsive to my immediate need for help getting in.

Amazing views, proximity to fun activities

The views were stunning and the proximity to fun activities was great. We were so stoked to have 3 levels of awesome views of the ocean. We loved the snorkeling at Poipu, where we saw big sea turles on the beach and swimming next to us. We zip lined, kayaked, hiked, and explored beaches all within 15-30 min drive. Definitely, a trip to remember.

Beautiful location & great view

The condo is located in a great area of Poipu. It was spacious for our family of 5. Beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards and towels were available for use. The condo is located on a point, so when it was windy, we were not able to always have the slider doors to the deck open; same with the windows in the master bedroom. The master bedroom needed more air circulation; the 2 floor fans and 1 ceiling fan were not enough. The condo is a not updated on the inside, but we were there to be outside, so I pushed that aside. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Great South shore location,...awesome view!

Excellent property near Poipu beach. Perfect location with awesome wide views of the mountains and the ocean. There was plenty of beach gear to make the days more enjoyable. The split level floor plan is perfect for families or friends traveling together so everyone has their own space to spread out. The property manager was responsive to any questions we had. This unit faces the ocean, so there is a nice breeze if you open the windows. It does get quite hot otherwise. We used fans at night but would have liked some AC. Breakfast on the lanai is spectacular.
