Nice location
Comfortable dwelling for four adults. The AC in the living areas was very much appreciated. Access to the dwelling was though a single flight of stairs and a long ramp, or using multiple sets of stairs. The view from the lanai, which is adjacent to the rocky coastline, was great, with lots of wave action. Pool was located very close to entry stairs. Mattresses on beds were good. Furniture was showing its age, but was adequate for the five night stay. No other particular deficits were notable.

My family stayed here, it was such a cute unit. The lanai was so beautiful to sit outside on. We saw soooo many turtles at all times of the day! The kids loved it. The waves were gorgeous. The unit was clean upon arrival and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Great view!
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.

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!

Summer Family Vacay
The location of this property is excellent. We loved watching the sea turtles every day and the crashing waves against the rocks is calming. Great sunset views for the southern side of the island. The property had all the amenities we needed for the week. We had a great time exploring the entire island and this property was well located to get to all sides equally. We would defintley stay here again for our next visit.

We had a wonderful time at this property! The condo is an end unit with beautiful views right on the ocean. Jeremy and Kristen were wonderful hosts who were very attentive. The condo was a pretty long walk from the parking lot with several sets of steps.

I think this must be the southernmost condo unit on Kauai and right on the ocean. The kitchen was particularly well-stocked for cooking gear which was important to us.

Comfortable, quiet, prime location, felt like home.
The location of this property is on point. The whale watching, the waves crashing on the rocks, the comfort and ease this place has made it feel like a home away from home. There are some beautiful resorts near by, but honestly I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else when we come back. The only thing I would change is the name of the owner of the property to my own. Our stay here was perfect.

Fantastic Stay!
The four of us stayed at this condo for 6 nights. We loved the huge porch - the views of the sunrise and sunset were incredible. The layout of the condo is wonderful for privacy with the bathrooms next to each other and the bedrooms next to the bathrooms. The kitchen could be a bit better equipped but when we asked if there was a coffee grinder (there was not), one showed up on our doorstep, which was wonderful because we wanted to enjoy the freshly ground coffee from Hawaii. Overall, a really spacious unit with wonderful views of the water (saw whales and turtles). We had a very nice stay!

Just what the doctor ordered
Spacious and conveniently located property in Poipu. Easy drive to many restaurants and stores. Unbeatable views of the ocean, turtles, dolphins! Fully stocked apt with plenty of dishware, cookware, board games, etc. Started the day with coffee on the lanai and ended the day with a cocktail and a beautiful sunset in the backdrop. Already thinking about our next visit!

The room delivers!
Views and A/C were must haves and this room delivered! The whole unit stayed cool and we were really comfortable. The pictures dont fully do the view justice. You can feel the gentle thud of the bigger waves hitting the rocks just steps outside. You can watch a sunset while having a glass of wine in the evening.

Amazing & Stunning Poipu
We absolutely loved our stay in Kauai. It was our first time on the island and our first time staying at this property. The views are phenomenal! The sunrises and sunsets are gorgeous as well as the moonlit views. You can enjoy your morning brew watching the sunrise and moonlit walks to close out your day sipping wine on the lanai. There's also an area looking over the ocean and we even saw turtles and dolphins swimming by. The condo has all the amenities you'll need and the beds are very comfortable too. We loved it so much that we extended our vacation and the property manager was very helpful and accommodating. We will be back!! Thank you so much! Mahalo nui loa!

Great Condo with one of the best ocean views on the island.
Makahuena #5-101 puts you in the middle of the daily sundown social. Average attendance hovers around 20 and from day one you will meet both the long and short term crowd. Every stroll out to your lanai is an opportunity for a whale breech or a cruising dolphin pod. If you are staying at the Makahuena, stay on the front row! #5101.

Amazing ocean views
Perfect location right on ocean for watching sunsets and waves crash ashore (be sure to check out rock arch in front of condo at low tide, very cool!) So beautiful and peaceful sitting on lanai. The unit was clean and ready for our arrival. Unit is as pictured. Very spacious for our family of 4. All appliances and a/c worked well. Kitchen is a stocked with essentials and paper products. Beach chairs, umbrellas & coolers made for enjoyable days at the nearby beaches. Resort itself is small and quiet. Great communication from property managers. Would definitely stay again!
