About this property
Ocean Front 3 BR, 1 level Condo . Pool, SPA , huge Lanai . Pickle Ball
This is a spacious (1300 square feet) ground level, three bedroom, two bathroom, ocean view condominium, in the very popular, upscale Makahuena Resort located in the center of Poipu. It's size and internal layout provides spacious comfort for as many as 8 but works perfectly well and is priced for smaller groups. You might want to invite your family or friends to share the cost as they will be comfortable too. Check our monthly rates as we encourage longer stays.

The resort complex sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean providing an unforgettable view and experience. You can view both sunrise and sunset from the site 'Point' a few steps from our lanai where the sound of the ocean and it's spray is breathtaking.
The Makahuena is in the center of the Poipu golf world including being walking distance from Poipu Bay, former site of the Grand Slam of golf. The Makahuena contains it's own tennis and pickleball facility (a rare commodity in Poipu condo complexes) bringing those sports steps from our unit. Top rated sandy beaches that provide sunbathing and surfing are less than a ten minute walk to the east (Shipwreck Beach) and to the west (Brennecke's Beach). Brennecke's beach has a breakwater that provides protected beaches for toddlers and calm waters for snorkelers.
IMPORTANT ITEM If you are traveling with children or people that enjoy the pool or spa, ground floor units such as ours have a huge benefit in the ease of access to these popular items. From our unit, you are step free seconds away from the pool gate to enjoy or check your kids swimming. The Makahuena is made up largely of three story buildings with no elevators, and pool access from upper units requires many steps to the opposite side of the pool then walking around the buildings. A somewhat time consuming and strenuous task.
FLOOR PLAN
The floor plan is all contained on one level eliminating the need to climb stairs to bedrooms or second bathrooms. Our seniors especially appreciate this convenience but everyone loves it. Additionally, the ground level location allows step free access to the impeccably maintained grounds, pool, spa, barbecue, view point, and other entertainment areas. The kitchen was completed renovated in November 2014; new granite counter tops, Solid Mahogany door and drawer fronts provide a stunning look. Elegant Tile Flooring was installed in all three bedrooms adding a very upscale look and providing a cooler (temperature) unit.
A brand new Mitsubishi top of the line air conditioning system was installed in June 2022 which provides greatly increased comfort in every room even when the trade winds slow .
Sleeping Accommodation
There are 3 bedrooms: The Master Suite, a smaller Suite and a 3rd bedroom.
The master suite is a large bedroom containing a brand new Simmons Beautyrest king bed (10/23). It has it's own bathroom which contains two large counters (his and hers) instead of the usual one. This bedroom opens directly to the lanai providing it's own ocean view and instant access to the beautiful grounds and all it's features.
The second large bedroom also has a King Bed and both of these bedrooms have their own televisions.
The third bedroom is smaller, but large enough to contain a brand new Beautiful Bunk Bed and an adjacent Queen Bed. If this bedroom is not needed it makes an excellent location to store luggage and golf clubs.
Additionally the living room contains a brand new (10/23) top of the line Lazy Boy Queen Sleeper for added sleeping capacity.

Location was perfect. Accessible to everything, the pool was a great amenity. Kitchen was well-stocked, and the provided beach towels, beach chairs, and beach gear were all welcome.
Amenities were perfect, very nice place! Being on the first floor was perfect for hanging out on the grass and into the pool for the kids. Kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were very comfortable! We loved our stay!
A beautiful condo in an excellent location on the south side of the island. We had plenty room for our Ohana and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen and laundry. The property managers were responsive and their help was much appreciated especially during the tsunami warning. We would highly recommend this condo for your stay.
This was an excellent place for our family. It
was very comfortable and close to lots of fun things to do. Recommend this if you like being close to the ocean, beaches, turtles, diving or shopping. It was also a very well stocked kitchen.
This was our 6th trip to the Poipu Beach area but the closest we’ve ever been to the ocean. Absolutely amazing location and amenities. The Pickleball courts alone made this property a game changer. Wonderful accommodations would love to go back.
This condo is ground floor with a wonderful patio, steps from the pool, awesome view of the ocean and you can enjoy both sunsets and sunrises from the patio. We have stayed at this condo each time we have come to Hawaii and have never been disappointed. Paradise.
The location of this rental was absolutely perfect. My family of 8 had plenty of room and enjoyed the amenities the condo offers. If/when we return to Kauai, we will stay again!
The condo had everything we needed and more. Everything was clean and fully stocked. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. The private trail was stunning to watch sunrises and sunsets with many sea turtles. Such a great location. We were given plenty of notice about parking changes and all other items. I would recommend this VRBO!
Our stay at Makahuena Resort was nothing short of perfection. The location exceeded our expectations with perfect viewing for sunrises, sunsets and even whale and sea turtle sightings! The kids loved playing in the pool daily and it was just a short 3 min drive to several beaches. Every single bed was very comfortable and clean. The property manager was always prompt to respond to emails and texts and was always available. We will definitely plan to return in the near future!
We booked this place for my daughter’s graduation trip and the location was great. We walked over to the rocks and watched the waves crash in and turtles in the surf. Close to other great beaches and clean and super nice. We will be back!!!! Mahalo!!!
Perfect Kauai getaway! We had a fantastic time at the condo in Poipu. The location was ideal, with stunning ocean views and easy access to the beaches and everywhere else on the island.
The condo itself was clean and well-equipped, and the spacious outdoor space was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
We would highly recommend this property anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing Kauai vacation especially for a large group of people.
We had a nice stay at this property - great views, ability to walk to the beach, easy access to other parts of Kauai. We had a few issues with necessary kitchen supplies, but I am confident those will be corrected in the future. I would highly recommend this property in the future.
My wife and I have 6 kids ages 21-3 years old. The size of the property, location and amenities were perfect for all of us. We liked being on the ground floor as there is a lot of noise with our group and having the pool right out our door was awesome.
Good location. Step out to pool and hot tub. Has partial ocean view. Suggestion for the owner is the glass top cofe table should be changed. Many of us was hurt by bump in to the glass top. Overall a nice place to stay.
Once we got in the condo was nice
But the construction was noisy and somewhat inconvenient alot of hammering and chatter.
If not for that the stay would perfect!
The accommodation were good and all the beach items were super useful.
Location is definitely the main positive. The unit itself is quite old. The two smaller bedrooms in fact had a “wet” smell. The manager was easy to reach and was accommodating. Overall, if you’re looking to stay in an oceanfront place without forking over top dollar, this is the place. Just don’t be expecting the ritz carlton.
