Luxury Home w/heated pool: Mehana Makai

Modern elegance meets tropical ease in this stunning, spacious (4BR/4.5BA) upscale Kukui'ula neighborhood. Close to Poipu's finest beaches, restaurants, and shopping! Unwind either poolside in a chaise lounger or hammock, at the heated pool's swim-up bar or under the swinging bed in the "Pai Pai".
The space
This stunning, new modern home in the exclusive Kukui’ula Private Resort Community will be the perfect place for you to relax and enjoy your Kaua’I vacation. Mehana Makai (Seaside Retreat) is less than a half mile to the closest white sand beach and only five minutes to world famous Poipu Beach Park.

Indulge yourself with a private heated pool, swim up bar, outdoor grill, beverage center, Sonos speakers for streaming music, and flat screen TV. The traditional Hawaiian Pai Pai (thatched poolside hut) is the perfect outdoor relaxation-station!

Experience indoor/outdoor living at its finest. Glass pocket doors roll away to bring the outside in- rolling hills of manicured, lush green landscape. The bright white interior, high ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and oh so soft bedding will refresh and renew like the cool breeze that flows through the home at the perfect natural temperature all year round. If you prefer more precise control over your environment, each room has its own A/C with separately controlled thermostats, allowing each guest to set their preferred temperature.

Mehana Makai is equipped with a wine fridge, lightning-fast Wi-Fi, and Sonos streaming to play music in all the rooms. The living room is perfect for watching sports during the day or movies at night with a flat-screen TV and 5.1 surround sound. Each bedroom has its own flat-screen TV as well. Rest easy knowing that Kukui’ula is a private community with 24/7 roving security for peace of mind.

Beach supplies of chairs, umbrellas, and an ice cooler are provided.
Private walking/biking path to nearby shops (Tommy Bahama, Sunglass Hut, Merriman’s Restaurant, The Table at Poipu + boutiques). Be sure to check out the farmers market at The Shops at Kukui'ula on Wednesdays from 3:30-5:340 and a Kanikapila (Hawaiian music jam session) every Friday from 6:30-8:30..

Relax and enjoy this comfortable island retreat!

Beautiful home as advertised

We have a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful and clean. The kids enjoyed the pool time and the setting was beautiful. We appreciated the beach chairs, umbrellas and toys as well as the available towels and fully stocked kitchen items. We only needed to buy food! We could see ourselves coming back. The host was very responsive when we had questions, and asked for recommendations.

Amazing house!!

We booked this house for my parents 70th birthday. It was the perfect week! This house had everything we needed for the week and was perfect for the 3 couples and 4 kids that stayed there. The pool was the highlight of the trip! We also enjoyed the short walk to the shops at Kukui‘ula and the short drive to Poipu Beach. Thank you for sharing your house Cindy!

Kauai Spring Break

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The instructions and check in were clear and effortless. The property was very clean and inviting. We cooked every night and it was great that the house was stocked with basics like olive oil, honey, spices so that we didn't have to go buy large quantity that would go to waste. The view on the golf course was tremendous. It was in a location that was so simple and convenient to all the things we wanted to do! Our family of 7 Loved this property!

Fabulous House for Families

Our family of nine, ranging in ages 18 months to 70, enjoyed a week in this fabulous house as we explored Kauai. This layout with en-suite king bedrooms in 3 corners and a bunk room in the fourth surrounding the large great room and kitchen. Everyone enjoyed the pool and surrounding outdoor living area. The bed-swing was a great place for a nap by our teens and seniors. The home is beautifully decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking appliances, utensils and dinnerware. When your 4 year old runs up to you and says “Nana, this house is awesome!” you know this home was perfect for our family of nine! The location was great. We had a wonderful vacation in Kauai with this fabulous home as our base. Mahalo!

Above and beyond

This home exceeded our expectations. The pool was the focal point for everyone and loved that the temp is kept warm and delightful even in January and the rain. The floor plan was great, the kids had their own suite in the bunk room and the other bedrooms were well appointed and comfortable. The outdoor shower was a special treat and we enjoyed dining on the patio every evening. Denise and AJ were helpful and quick to respond to our every question and need. Couldn’t recommend this property more highly.

Christmas

Enjoyed our stay here over Christmas. Easy drive to the beach. Kids loved the pool and the outdoor shower. Wished the real outdoor grill had been working, changed our dinner plans. Small portable grill did not work well. Denise was most gracious and helpful when we checked in, can't say enough about her. Her communication before our arrival was outstanding. Lovely house!

Family Holiday Trip

We wanted to take our adult children, their significant others and our granddaughter on a special trip. This home was absolutely wonderful, the layout with each room having its own bathroom, the fabulous outdoor sitting and dining options, and the heated pool made it perfect for our family. Cindy was extremely helpful with questions prior to our stay and Angie handled any concerns or questions upon arrival. This property and trip was so special that we truly hope to do it again soon!!!

Cindy was so great. She was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Someone was there to greet us and show us around the house when we checked in. So clean and such a beautiful home. I already miss the outdoor showers, amazing pool and outdoor space. My family had the best time. Will definitely be back.

Paradise

We had an amazing time here celebrating my dad’s retirement with our family. It was a great setup so we each had our own bedroom with attached bathroom. The house has everything you need… pool towels, beach towels, beach chairs, all the kitchen appliances you need, pool toys, rafts… the list could go on. Since we had young kids, there was a pool gate that was put up. That was so nice to have! Location was great. We could go out to a beach and come back and enjoy the pool while kids could nap. Denise helped us with everything we needed for our stay. She was very nice, responsive and helpful! We can’t wait to go back!

Awesome family trip!

We had a wonderful stay here. There were 10 of us - six adults and four children (7, 5, 5, 2). The layout of the bedrooms and living space was perfect and the kids absolutely loved the bunk room! The real highlight of this home is the lanai and pool area. This is where we ate most of our meals and spent a bulk of our time when we were at home. It was so much fun and such a relaxing place to be. The home is extremely well stocked with kids toys and books, kitchen items, and pool/beach gear (towels, chairs, toys). It was great to have access to all of this stuff. Denise was a great communicator and house manager! The air conditioning was not working in the main living area (due to a curious gecko it seems!) and two bedrooms. Denise had folks come out to try to fix it and also gave us a portable unit to try. We appreciate the troubleshooting and for loaning us a shower chair! Thanks Cindy and Jim for sharing your home.

Beautiful House!

We would definitely recommend this house to rent! As soon as we made our reservation, the property manager contacted us and made sure all of our questions were answered. The property manager personally welcomed us at the house when we arrived and showed us around. The house was perfect! The house was well stocked and the kitchen had everything we needed. The patio was absolutely amazing!! We spent most of our time on the patio. The view is gorgeous and the heated pool was perfect to jump into after a day at the beach. The house was very clean. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, which was also well stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The beds were comfortable and were fitted with luxury sheets. The location of the house was perfect! The house is walking distance from shops and restaurants. We would rent this house again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Vacation home perfection! Exactly as promised, and more.

Our group of four adults and six children had the absolute pleasure of staying in this home for an unforgettable vacation in Kauai. The home is absolutely stunning and is exactly as promised, if not more. When we arrived late at night we actually drove by it, remarking how beautiful it was, but thinking it was another home. It's not uncommon that rentals look better in pictures than reality, but that's not the case here. The home was perfectly clean, and has everything you could ever want/need for a perfect vacation. Cindy is a kind and gracious host who very obviously cares about providing a great experience, as does Denise (the local contact). Both were very thorough and excellent at consistently communicating before and during the rental, by far the best we've experienced. There was a minor issue with the pool heater, but Cindy reached out to us well before we arrived to let us know about it and fill us on what she'd done to get parts flown in a repair done right away so that we'd be able to enjoy the pool. The home is perfect, the hosts are gracious and attentive. Can't say enough about the experience... we hope to be back again soon!

Beautiful Home! Great for a Family Getaway!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. My family (6 adults and 2 children - ages 1 & 2) were wowed upon initial entrance. Our excitement continued as we explored the home and all of its amenities. Our personal favorite was the grill area with bar seating and lounge swing - The perfect place to have coffee in the morning or relax at sunset. Communication with Cindy prior to the trip was seamless and that continued during our stay. The property manager was also amazing; attentive in fielding any/all questions. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing stay on Kauai!

Absolutley Amaing

The property was better than expected. The home was very clean, and very modern with beautiful landscaping. The 4 bedroom layout with each own private bathroom and closet was perfect giving everyone privacy and luxury. Didn't even use the common area 5th bathroom. The master bathroom really was something else with the outdoor shower. I loved all the shower gels, real high-quality stuff. The kitchen had all the amenities needed, cups, pots, pans, plates, wine cooler, utensils, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, literally everything, There was not one point where we said, "we wish we had this". And then there was the backyard, absolutely amazing. Sunset golf course views, warm pool water, great BBQ area, outdoor TV, various outdoor lighting configurations to allow you to set the mood multiple ways, and many different places to hang with friends. The beach chairs, boogie boards, beach towels, umbrella, and cooler bag were used every day. We spent 1 week on vacation and traveled the whole island, but the home was the best part. We did morning walks to various beaches and shopping stores. Got a morning juice at the local store just 5 minute's walk away. Checked out some of the local more popular beaches with just a 5 min drive. I would have been happy just staying in the home and not traveling the island. The Sonos stereo was very impressive, if you are not familiar with Sonos, watch a youtube video, it is pretty seamless once you download the app, but if you are not familiar, it would be helpful as you can control the music in every room and outside individually. Denise, our property manager was very helpful with any questions we had, and Cindy, the owner checked in with us a few times as well to ensure everything was good. It really was perfect. As a golfer, it was tempting to want to play on the course (not allowed as it is private), but we played at 4 different courses all within a 5-10min drive. Some courses were over $200, and there was an amazing course on top of the mountain for just $30, some in between. But all were beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this property. When I was originally looking, I wanted to be directly on the beach. This house is a 5 min drive to the popular beaches. But when you consider loading the chairs, umbrellas, cooler, and maybe stopping by the store to get snacks, driving to the beach is ideal, and we went to a few of the local popular beaches. I am so glad we picked this house, it was perfect. Thank You!
