Week in Poipu

The condos are in a good location. It is close to Poipu beach and the cities of Poipu and Koala. Access to the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail. Good access to a sunset and sunrise. Sunrise can be viewed from patio, though homes are being built on the adjacent land that blocks view of the ocean. Grocery shopping should be done Lihue as most markets around have less options and higher cost. Parking is good and convenient. No elevators to get to upper units with luggage.

1st trip to kauai

Quiet, clean and close to beaches and restaurants. Good supply of spices and basic kitchen supplies. Stairwell light is funky because there are 3 switches for it. Would have been nice to know what streaming apps were included and how to access xable.

Great location! Definitely recommend

This was a great condo with beautiful views. The area is being developed, so it's not clear how long the views will be nice, but the property is great and while a bit aged (older appliances) the beds were comfortable and the shower was very nice. It's not easy to find a reasonably priced property in Poipu, and this property fits the bill!

Great Spot!

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.

Disappointing view and uncomfortable

The owners of this condo need to spend a little money to upgrade if they are going to charge 500 per night. The so-called living room furniture was outdoor furniture that was extremely uncomfortable even my outdoor furniture at home is more comfortable and who wants to lay on a board to relax and watch some tv before bed? Also, the view is not like the picture since they are now doing construction outside the deck. The lock box is so rusty it barely works - took us forever to put the key back. This could be a nice condo if you improve the furniture and replace the lock box with a new one.

Stay at Makahuena 4305

Such a lovely and well maintained property. The host went above and beyond by sharing a few welcome treats which was so appreciated after a long travel day. The beds were comfortable and linens were plentiful. They provided lots of beach accessories too.

Great Condo

We stayed Dec 2023 for 5 nights and it was very nice. Clean, full kitchen, 3 bathrooms for 4 adults was a plus as was the washer and dryer. We didn’t have great weather to enjoy the balcony but liked having it just the same. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Weekend stay at Makaha 4305

What a great find! We loved the accomodations and more so the communication with management. The amenities are incredible, we also had a nice beach view. Easy to check in and out, everything you needed was there. We didn't get to enjoy the pool this time, but are returning in a couple months and will book the same room if possible. Mahalo

Great Location, Great stay!

The condo is perfect for four people, whether all adults or with 2 kids that can share a bed. It is very well appointed. The owner really went out of their way to give you everything you need to have a great stay, including beach chairs, towels, boogies boards, coolers, and snorkeling equipment! The full size washer and dryer are an added plus! From the balcony you can absolutely see the ocean as well as from the master bedroom. **One thing to note that wasn’t a problem for us, but could be for others, the unit is on the third floor and there is no elevator. I can absolutely recommend and wish we could stay longer!

Beautiful and Great Location

This property was such a great find. We will definitely be back. Location was up the hill from the beaches but great view of the ocean and extremely quiet. Definitely walkable to the beach with great access to some amazing hikes. We saw several whales, dolphins and turtles from the balcony. Very comfortable. Thank you for sharing your home.

Kauai in June!

Property just as described. Lovely treats when we arrived. Great view although they are building in front of unit. We never had any issues with noise. Very quite complex. No parking issues. Very clean unit with beach floaties, toys for kids, games, and snorkel equipment. Super close to Shipwreck beach and Poipu beach.

Spacious & comfy condo near great beaches

We had a great stay here during our honeymoon! The condo was stocked with anything we would need in the kitchen & with items for the beach (chairs, towels, goggles) which was awesome.The check in and check out process was super easy. The only negative was that the view of the water from the deck was not as close as the listing pictures seemed, however it was still gorgeous and we would return!
