About this property

HIDDEN GEM: Fantastic OCEANVIEW Condo/w New AC and Windows - Recently Remodeled!

Break away to surf, sand and fun on your next family vacation. Enjoy it all when you stay at oceanfront Makahuena Resort. Our recently remodeled two-bedroom Poipu condo here (Makahuena 1309) has a fantastic view of the ocean and pool. The layout is ideal for up to 6 guests. Refined simplicity reigns supreme framed by the magical view of the sea.

With two levels you will have more than enough space to please everyone. The functional Great Room has an open design that leads to the ocean view covered lanai where lively conversations are waiting to happen with family and friends. There is outdoor dining here too and a chance to see huge waves crashing against the shore, humpback whales breaching in winter or dolphins playing at any time of year.

Two large suites with king and queen beds and private baths are on the upper level and are all the ocean view bedroom. When it’s time to eat and dine, the full kitchen works ideally for any chef with its elegant quartz counter tops and premium stainless-steel appliances.

There’s more fun waiting for you at Makahuena Resort with complimentary tennis court and an ocean view swimming pool. Load beach gears on a cart and walk along the beach trail to enjoy swimming, snorkeling and surfing at the popular beaches in Poipu. With Poipu, Brennecke's, and Shipwreck beaches each a short stroll away, guests can take advantage of our beach towels, beach chairs, coolers, beach umbrella, boogie boards, sand toys, and spacious cart.

Enjoy morning walk or jogging on the Poipu Beach Trail towards Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail and admire the breathtaking view over Shipwreck Beach and the beautiful Grand Hyatt Resort. Explore a 3.7 mile scenic trail towards Punahoa Point that offers the chance to see wildlife and the local flora.

Brennecke's Deli and Brennecke's Beach Broiler serve lunch and dinner nearby, and a five-minute drive leads to Poipu Shopping Village and The Shops at Kukuiula, both of which have an assortment of dining and shopping possibilities. Another five-minute drive brings guests to Old Koloa Town, where historic plantation buildings have been carefully renovated to create a charming village with additional restaurants and shops, as well as a grocery store.

If you’re itching to get out and explore Kauai…good news. Guests can reach Waimea Canyon in an hour and the lush north shore in 90 minutes, with many natural wonders to discover in between.

To compliment the unit's appearance, we handpicked contemporary furnishings that are both design-forward and comfortable.

We also have our custom roast Kauai coffee in the kitchen to start your day right. Our service includes a host of amenities with free parking, Wi-Fi and washer/dryer in your condo. To ensure an exceptional experience, we provide our guests with hotel grade supplies such as full sets of towels and three rolls of toilet paper at each bathroom, soaps/shampoo/conditioner/lotion, detergents, paper towel, Kleenex, and trash bags to cover the first a couple of days of your stay.

Are you on the lookout for a cut above in Kauai? Please contact us if you’d like to stay at this contemporary artist family-size condo at the edge of the Pacific!

Wonderful property in a great location! Easy access to some of the most popular beaches on the island as well as close to many restaurants. The host was quick to respond to questions as well as provided recommendations for things to do. The patio did get hot due to the AC fan, otherwise the views were amazing. The unit was also well stocked with plenty of beach gear, rolling cooler, sunscreen and bug spray. Highly recommended!

The views were beautiful from the condo. It rained every day, so an umbrella would've been helpful. The patio was very small and hot because of a fan for the AC but that was a small issue compared to the rest. It was a wonderful place to stay!!

Very nice condo in a great location. Owner thought of everything in regards to supplies and beach accessories. We spent the first part of our trip in Princeville and finished in Poipu Bay.

Excellent Condo

Great views from Lanai of waves crashing on rocks below. Condo was clean and very well stocked. Appreciated all of the beach equipment, towels, and boogie boards. The kitchen was equipped very well with everything needed, including a large spice rack. The only drawback is many stairs to deal with and the refrigerator ice makes was not working. Overall a great condo. Would rent it again and have already recommended it to friends.

Fantastic Place with Amazing View

The condominium was exactly as shown in the photos. The decor was very nice, the television is huge. The cleaning was up to my high standards. There were also a ton of great details. Check in was easy, as was check out. There is a bit of a walk down an incline to get to the stairs to get to the condo. Just a heads up. The view from the balcony was amazing. It was my happy place and I miss that the most. I would recommend this place!

I am John, enthusiastic travelers who have visited or lived in several countries in Europe, Asia, and North America, and continue to travel the world. After all of that exploring, I found a few favorite spots that I kept returning to again and again. Kauai is definitely one of those! Owning a vacation rental on Hawaii’s most beautiful island is a great excuse to visit paradise every once in a while.
